With that cold air, Bai Yu'an still felt a little cold until Shen Jue's figure disappeared behind the curtain.
The charcoal fire in the room was crackling. Bai Yu'an looked at the brazier. A spark of fire jumped out of the charcoal fire and extinguished very quickly.
The next day when A Tao came in to change the charcoal fire, he saw that Bai Yu'an was already awake, holding the pillow under his pillow sideways, looking at the ground not far away in a daze.
A Tao came over and stretched out his hand to touch Bai Yu'an's forehead.
Seeing that his forehead was no longer hot, A Tao breathed a sigh of relief.
She asked softly: "Master, what do you want to eat? I'll go to the kitchen to make it now."
Bai Yu'an shook his head: "Anything is fine."
A Tao then said: "Then slave, please make some dumplings for the young master."
Bai Yu'an nodded: "I haven't eaten for a long time."
A Tao smiled: "No."
Then he said: "Then Master, please wait for a while, and then I will come in and call you when I am ready as a slave."
A Tao said and went to the charcoal basin to change the charcoal.
Bai Yu'an looked at A Tao's movements, her eyes expressionless, but she breathed out lazily.
She asked: "Was the latch of the gate closed last night?"
A Tao turned his head and looked at Bai Yu'an: "Mother Chen closed the door bolts at night. I checked last night and found that they are all closed."
As he said this, A Tao asked strangely: "Why did the young master suddenly ask about this?"
Bai Yu'an shook his head weakly: "I asked casually."
Then he added: "After sleeping for two days, my body still hurts."
A Tao smiled and turned back to light the charcoal fire: "Just drink the medicine for two days and it will be fine."
Bai Yu'an nodded: "I really want to feel better."
A Tao smiled: "Young master, please think carefully. I will let you hold the ginger slices in your mouth later, but please don't push me anymore."
Bai Yu'an twitched the corners of his mouth and lowered his eyes slightly.
A Tao changed the charcoal and saw that Bai Yuan was awake and okay, so he went to the table and took a book: "Young master, if you are bored, just read a book."
After saying that, she peeled an orange for Bai Yuan and put it aside, and then went out to get busy.
Bai Yu'an held the book in her hand, which was the History of the Six Dynasties that she had read before. She sat up and flipped through it, then looked at the end of the bed in a daze. The book stopped at her fingertips, and she did not turn a page for a long time.
The wind sounded outside the window. Bai Yu put down the book in her hand, peeled another orange and put it in her mouth.
When it was almost dawn outside, A Tao came in with the medicine: "The medicine is warm, sir, drink it."
Today, Bai Yu'an has regained some strength. Except for the slight sick look on his face and the coughing sound on his lips from time to time, he looks much better than the previous two days.
She took the medicine bowl without much hesitation. Bai Yu'an held the bowl and frowned. It was rare that she drank a whole bowl of medicine without any prunes.
A Tao took the empty bowl and stuffed ginger slices into Bai Yu'an's mouth: "I heard that the master's cough today is better than yesterday."
"Young Master, if you hold your tongue again, maybe you'll be fine tomorrow."
Bai Yu'an held the ginger slice in her mouth without saying a word, just nodded, and then leaned on the bedside to read.
A Tao glanced at Bai Yu'an and felt that Bai Yu'an was particularly obedient today and not as temperamental as before, so she got up and went to the kitchen with confidence.
Ah Tao has always been very good at cooking. When the floating dumplings were brought over, Bai Yu'an got an appetite and ate several of them in a row.
While eating, Wei Ruyi walked in from outside the curtain. When she saw Bai Yu'an, her eyes turned red and she shouted: "Young Master."
Bai Yu'an looked at Wei Ruyi and saw that he was crying as soon as he threw himself on the bed. He couldn't help but said: "Why are you crying again? People who don't know think that I am not happy anymore."
Wei Ruyi hurriedly pouted a few times: "What are you talking about, Master? You will live a long life."
Bai Yu'an took another bite of the dumplings in the spoon, and the sesame seeds melted in his mouth. Bai Yu'an sighed: "Then don't cry. It's hard for you to miss me. I'm getting better soon, so don't worry."
Wei Ruyi wiped her tears and said, "How can I not miss the young master? I was here yesterday, but the young master fell asleep, so I had to come again today."
Bai Yu'an was slightly moved: "It's troublesome for you to come back and forth, thank you."
After Wei Ruyi heard this, she quickly shook her head: "I came to see if the young master is working hard, but I didn't even come close to serve him..."
Wei Ruyi's temperament was as soft as mud, and she regarded Bai Yu'an as the sky.
When Bai Yu'an heard what Wei Ruyi said, she quickly interrupted her and said, "Now that you have your own shop, it's time to think more about yourself. I don't need you to serve me. You just need to take care of yourself."
Wei Ruyi was stunned, then looked at Bai Yu'an's serious expression, bit her lip and nodded.
She stood up and lifted up the quilt that was halfway down Bai Yu'an's waist, and asked: "I just heard from Sister A Tao that she is still coughing. Is the young master feeling better now?"
After eating the last floating dumpling in the bowl, Bai Yu'an handed it to Ah Tao and then smiled and said: "Much better."
Wei Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that the young master is fine."
As she spoke, she squatted in front of the bed and said, "It's been really strange lately. Last night, where the young master from Liuhe Street fell into the water, another person fell from there."
"It was said that he got into a fight with others after drinking. During the argument, he fell from the railing before he could stand firm."
"It was too late to save him, and he drowned."
"I heard that when the person was picked up, his whole body was soaked white. It was really scary to see."
"I also heard that he is the son of an official family."
As he spoke, Wei Ruyi looked at Bai Yu'an and warned: "There has been some unrest there recently. Master, please don't go to the river."
"Lest anyone who doesn't have a good eye bumps into the young master again."
Bai Yu'an paused and looked at Wei Ruyi: "Which official's son?"
Wei Ruyi shook his head: "I don't know about that either. I just saw people coming from the government at the back. There were many officers and soldiers, and the formation was quite big."
Bai Yu'an nodded, not paying much attention, and asked Wei Ruyi: "How is the recent shop?"
Wei Ruyi smiled and said: "The shop has become lively, and there are regular customers."
Bai Yu'an smiled: "That's good."
Then he asked: "Come here, will the shop be busy?"
Wei Ruyi squatted in front of Bai Yu'an's bed and smiled: "Young master, don't worry about me. The pastries were made early in the morning. I am relatively free in the morning, so I will come over to see you."
Bai Yu'an looked at Wei Ruyi and saw that although his eyes were a little red, his face was rosy and radiant, and he was not as cautious as before, with his eyebrows down and his eyes down.
This face was already good-looking, but now it was even more charming, so he whispered to her: "You, a single woman, still need to pay more attention when you are outside. Come over next time and ask someone to accompany you. Don't encounter scoundrels like last time. "
Wei Ruyi blushed: "Young master, don't worry, I know."
Bai Yu'an looked at Wei Ruyi's red face, thought about it, and smiled.
