It's still cold in the cold winter nights. Even if it doesn't snow, the cold wind in the air is still unbearable.
Bai Yu'an knew that he was late, so he apologized several times before asking: "Is the shop ready?"
Wei Ruyi folded her hands aside and said, "I'll finish cleaning up in the afternoon."
As she spoke, she smiled again: "When I buy the plaque later and inscribe it with the words, I can open it."
Bai Yu'an smiled: "That's good."
At this time, Gao Han came to his side and said to Bai Yu'an: "It's better to go find Wen Changqing first. It's cold standing here."
Bai Yu'an also felt that her feet were stiff after standing outside for only a short time, so she asked A Tao and Wei Ruyi to get into the carriage.
The carriage was warmed by the brazier. Bai Yuan's fingers were cold from being blown outside just now, so she couldn't help but reach to the brazier to warm them up.
Gao Han saw that Bai Yu'an's hand was close to the brazier, and like a child, he only cared about keeping himself warm and didn't notice the hanging sleeves at all.
He smiled helplessly and bent slightly to lift Bai Yu's hanging sleeves.
When A Tao saw it, he reached out and said, "Mr. Gao, please come and take it."
Gao Han glanced at A Tao and said calmly: "No need."
A Tao was stunned and retracted his hand in embarrassment.
Bai Yu'an then realized that his sleeve was being held up by Gao Han, and felt a little embarrassed, so he took back his hand and said with a smile, "Brother Gao is still careful."
The sleeves on his hands slipped back, Gao Han tightened his hands and looked at Bai Yu'an.
It was dark inside the carriage, and it was impossible to see his appearance clearly, but it still made people feel elegant.
He said: "You are afraid of the cold, why don't you bake more?"
Bai Yu'an put his hands on his sleeves and said with a smile, "It's already warmed."
Then it would definitely not be warm for a while. Gao Han's eyes fluctuated slightly, but he still didn't say anything.
When we arrived at the place we agreed with Wen Changqing, we went up to the second floor and saw Wen Changqing already sitting inside.
The private room was very large, and Wen Changqing was sitting inside and waiting.
When he saw Bai Yu'an coming in and Gao Han following Bai Yu'an, he quickly stood up with a smile and came over to greet him.
Bai Yu'an went in and saw a woman sitting inside playing the pipa, and two men playing time next to her.
The sound of the pipa is gentle and melodious, and if you listen carefully, there is also a sad sound.
She smiled at Wen Changqing and said, "Why do you still think of listening to music?"
Wen Changqing smiled: "You're still late, just for fun."
After saying that, he asked his entourage to take some money to reward them and asked them to retreat.
A few people went to sit down at the small table, and the maid outside came in to serve the food.
Bai Yu'an was hungry, and he was familiar with Wen Changqing, so he didn't have so many polite words. The others said a few words without observing any etiquette, and moved his chopsticks first.
There was a lot of gossip on the table. Bai Yu'an and Wen Changqing rarely talked about court matters outside. They were all unmarried men, so the talk was just a romantic affair.
Gao Han asked Wen Changqing, "Why is Mr. Wen not married yet?"
Bai Yu'an stood aside and said with a smile: "Brother Wen's wedding is coming soon, and he will be the first of us to have a family by then."
Gao Han smiled on his face: "That's it."
Bai Yuan asked Wen Changqing, "Brother Wen, before I have time to ask you, was there anyone visible last time?"
Wen Changqing laughed softly: "I see."
Bai Yu'an quickly asked: "How?"
Wen Changqing just pursed his lips and smiled while eating the food, which Bai Yu'an didn't understand.
Gao Han looked at Bai Yu'an and smiled: "Looking at Mr. Wen's expression, he is naturally satisfied."
Bai Yu'an said oh, then picked up the cup to congratulate her.
Gao Han also picked up the cup.
This small gathering lasted for a long time, and by the time we left the restaurant, it was almost midnight.
After saying goodbye at the door of the restaurant, Gao Han looked at Bai Yu'an who was leaning against the car wall and holding his forehead and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come out often when Lord Wen gets married."
Bai Yu'an nodded and smiled: "In the end, we are the only ones who are at ease."
Gao Han smiled: "You can't be alone all your life."
Bai Yu'an put down his hand and looked at Gao Han: "Why not? I just don't plan to get married."
Gao Han was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Qingxi, don't say it's a joke. You are the only son in the family, and the family will not stop urging you."
Bai Yu'an asked curiously: "Why hasn't Brother Gao made a marriage decision yet?"
There was a smile in Gao Han's eyes: "When you get married, I will get married myself."
When Bai Yu'an heard that this was wrong, he said, "Then if I never get married, brother Gao will also never get married, right?"
Gao Han pursed his lips and smiled: "It's not impossible."
Bai Yu'an didn't take these words to heart, but took it as a joke.
When they arrived at the place, Bai Yuan got off the carriage and wanted Gao Han to go back quickly, but unexpectedly Gao Han also got off the carriage.
Bai Yu'an was stunned for a moment, then said: "Brother Gao, there is no need to come down to see me off. Come up quickly."
Gao Han saw that Bai Yu'an had settled down for a few seconds, and her hair was already covered with snow spots, so he reached out and brushed it for her, and then asked in a low voice: "Do you have any arrangements for the Lantern Festival?"
Bai Yu'an folded his cloak and said with a smile: "I plan to take the girl out to have a look that day."
Gao Han couldn't help but smile: "You are so devoted to your girl."
Bai Yu'an laughed: "Those who have been serving me are lucky enough to be around me, so I should treat them better."
Gao Han stopped talking and nodded, watching Bai Yu'an turn back to the yard before looking away.
He stood at the far door and looked up, but the angle was a little low, and he couldn't see the entire attic, only the vague outline.
Then he lowered his eyes and got into the carriage with his lips pursed.
Bai Yu'an returned to the courtyard and asked Wei Ruyi to boil hot water for a bath.
A Tao came over to light a charcoal fire in the house and whispered: "It's very cold, so don't go out these days to avoid getting cold."
Bai Yu'an nodded. The room would be very cold if the charcoal fire was not lit. When he stretched out his hand, he would feel stiff.
After finally lighting a charcoal fire, the room gradually became warmer. Just as the hot water was boiling, Bai Yu'an went in to take a bath.
During the bath, A Tao stayed behind the screen. Even if Wei Ruyi wanted to come to heat the water, he wouldn't let her in. He just let her leave at the door and let her go to bed.
Wei Ruyi originally wanted to ask what the name of the shop was, but now she was chased by A Tao and had to retreat.
After bathing, Bai Yu'an was covered in the quilt, while A Tao sat on the bedside and wiped her hair.
She moved her hands and asked softly: "Sir, have you thought of a name for the shop?"
Bai Yu'an stared for a while and thought: "Let's call it Wufangzhai."
"It has all the five flavors, the aroma is overflowing, and the name is easy to remember."
A Tao smiled and said, "It's a good name. I'll tell Wei Ruyi about it later."
"She's been telling me this this afternoon."
Bai Yu'an hummed and fell asleep and stopped talking.
