At night, A Tao extinguished the candle, lowered the bedside curtain and said, "Young Master, go to bed early. I'll call you early tomorrow morning."
Bai Yu'an nodded, still feeling a little uneasy as he looked at the bed that had darkened as the curtains were lowered.
Shen Jue was acting strangely towards her these days.
Logically speaking, there is no reason for someone like Shen Jue to waste time with her. He has nothing else to do during the Chinese New Year?
She heard that Shen Jue stayed in the palace on New Year's Eve, and the little emperor seemed to be very dependent on him. She also heard a carriage passing by the palace and went to invite Shen Jue in the middle of the night.
There was no reason that Shen Jue would be waiting for her treat.
Bai Yu'an couldn't help but think of the incident when he was kidnapped in the alley outside the palace city. Bai Yu'an didn't dare to think about it in detail. The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became.
She was asked to say that the person who robbed her that day was Shen Jue, but the two had just had an argument, so it didn't seem like it.
But if someone bumped into her impromptu idea, why did she have to get off the carriage right at the door?
Bai Yu'an thought about it for half the night but couldn't think clearly. He didn't even know when he fell asleep.
The next day, when A Tao came and opened the bed curtain to call, he saw that Bai Yu'an was still sleeping, so he went to get the belt and pushed Bai Yu'an's shoulder: "Sir, it's time to get up."
Bai Yu'an slept late last night, and was pushed awake in a daze. He saw the tie on A Tao's hand again, and then he weakly propped himself up.
A Tao saw Bai Yu'an squinting her eyes, her soft black hair hanging down, covering her white jade face, making her look lazy.
He couldn't help but smile, and after wrapping the belt around her, he asked, "Master, is it still tight?"
Bai Yu'an touched it, shook his head and said, "It's okay."
A Tao then went to help Bai Yu'an put on her middle coat.
Last night, she took Bai Yu'an's middle coat and hung it to dry. She didn't expect it to be so warm here. After just one night, the clothes were just a little moist to the touch.
A Tao then asked, "Do you want to change out of the middle coat that you are wearing and return it to me?"
As she spoke, she added: "This middle coat looks too big and wide at the skirt. Where did the young master wear the middle coat?"
Bai Yu'an didn't answer directly, but just asked: "What did I do with my middle coat yesterday?"
A Tao brought over the Chinese coat that had been baked all night: "It's still a little moist."
Bai Yu'an touched it indifferently. Although it was indeed a little moist, it was still fine, so he said, "Wear the original one."
A Tao put on Bai Yu'an's clothes. As soon as he finished dressing, there was a girl's voice outside. A Tao went out and opened the door to see that hot water had been brought in.
After washing up, Bai Yu'an walked outside and saw the door of Fang Huiju next door open, so she couldn't help but look inside.
I saw that Shen Jue had already packed up and was sitting inside looking at the snowy scene outside the window.
The crane clothes he wore outside were piled on the floor, making his slender figure appear straighter, and there was a hint of elegance in his coldness.
Changsong, who was waiting at the door, said to Bai Yu'an: "My master is waiting for Mr. Bai inside."
After listening to Changsong's words, Bai Yu'an went to the door, took off his boots and walked in.
Shen Jue, who was inside the room, noticed Bai Yu'an entering, and just glanced at her before looking outside again.
Bai Yu'an couldn't help but look outside.
I saw that the outside was covered with snow, and the treetops in the pine forest were covered with white frost, and the snow was still falling.
Occasionally, one or two bird calls resound throughout the mountains, as if there are layers of echoes, making the snow fall.
You can also smell the scent of the treetops in your nose, which is moist and clear, making people feel calm.
While he was looking at the scenery outside, a row of maids came in.
He filled the low table in front of him with plates before retreating.
Bai Yu'an couldn't help but look at the table and saw various pastries on it, and a bowl of bird's nest porridge beside it.
Shen Jue looked at Bai Yu'an and saw him looking at the table, so he said, "Master Bai, try it to see if it suits your taste."
Bai Yu'an looked at the table full of pastries and couldn't help but look at Shen Jue.
She really couldn't tell that this man liked eating cakes.
She saw that Shen Jue had already picked up a piece of emerald lotus cake. Looking at the lotus-shaped pastry, she couldn't help but pick up a piece too, put it in her mouth and took a bite.
The softness of the lotus paste melted in the mouth. Bai Yu'an felt that the taste was very good, and wanted to ask Wei Ruyi to taste it in the same way.
After tasting a few other pastries, Bai Yuan finally thought of eating porridge.
She saw that Shen Jue across from him had already put down his chopsticks, drank a few sips in a hurry, and then took the tea brought by the maid next to him to clear his mouth.
The sky was already bright at this moment, and the light from outside fell into the house, brightening the eyebrows and eyes.
Shen Jue stood up and said to Bai Yu'an, "Go back."
Bai Yu'an thought that he could finally go back, so he stood up.
All the way down, Bai Yu'an kept thinking about how much money was spent, but all the way outside Yuehua Building, Bai Yu'an didn't see where the money was given.
After hesitating for a while, Bai Yu'an still asked Shen Jue: "How much money did you spend this time? I will give it back to Shen Shoufu."
Shen Jue stood there with his hands behind his hands and looked at Bai Yu'an: "Chang Song went to settle the bill for thirty dollars. Master Bai really intends to give it to me?"
Bai Yu'an's monthly salary was only nine taels of silver. When Shen Jue said that just staying here for one night would cost her three months of salary, she couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
Isn't this a proper sales cave?
Shen Jue saw Bai Yu'an's shocked eyes and smiled. Knowing that he was nervous about the money, he had no intention of actually asking anyone to return it.
Bai Yu'an hesitated for a moment and saw that Shen Jue had turned around and headed towards the carriage. She felt a little embarrassed, but thinking that Shen Jue was coming here herself, she couldn't help but chase after him and said, "I brought two pieces of money here." , how about Chief Shen accept it?"
Shen Jue was already standing next to the carriage now. Hearing Bai Yuan's words, she secretly thought that Bai Yuan really didn't understand the complexity of human relationships.
Before he said anything, he had already given him a way to prevent him from paying any more, but he brought it up again, as if he didn't care about the two coins.
It's nothing to talk like this in front of him. If it were anyone else, you wouldn't even know if you offended someone.
The slightly drooped eyes of Bai Yu'an in front of her were clear and clear, as if they could only accommodate spring and snow, but could not see the dirty world.
Shen Jue sighed secretly, not intending to care about him at all, and just whispered: "Master Yin Zibai just keeps it for himself, I am not that stingy."
After saying that, Shen Jue opened the curtain of the carriage for Bai Yu'an and looked at him again: "Master Bai, please get on the carriage."
Bai Yu'an's heart skipped a beat when she saw Shen Jue actually lifting the curtain for her. Thinking that she would be embarrassed if she refused, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on the carriage.
Outside, A Tao was naturally following Chang Song in the carriage behind.
Chang Song's face was even colder than Shen Jue's. He sat opposite A Tao, holding his hands motionless, and his face was expressionless.
A Tao always liked to talk, but now he didn't dare to talk, so he could only sit stiffly across from Changsong.
