The museum was still bustling with people, and the people passing by were bustling, but Bai Yu'an felt extremely quiet in his heart.
His eyes were unexpectedly calm, and he suddenly turned around and looked behind him.
The shops on the street outside are dotted with lanterns, and the stalls are shouting. The distance in the dusk is gray, and in front of you are hurried passers-by.
There was nothing Bai Yuan wanted to see in the crowd.
Or maybe the person was hiding in the dark and she couldn't see him.
A Tao next to him was so angry that he let out a sigh, pointed at the man and was about to curse him.
Bai Yu'an put a hand on A Tao's wrist and pulled her to turn around and walk out without saying another word.
A Tao exclaimed twice, looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Why is the young master leaving?"
"That man is too bullying. I still want to have a good discussion with him!"
Standing at a street intersection, Bai Yu'an withdrew his fingers from A Tao and got into the carriage in silence.
Seeing that Bai Yu'an was silent, A Tao followed anxiously and said, "Why don't you speak, Master?"
Bai Yu'an glanced at A Tao and said after a while: "It's really useless for you to embarrass him."
"Someone doesn't let me rent a house."
A Tao quickly looked at Bai Yu'an: "Who is that person?"
Bai Yu'an leaned back and looked out to the side of his head: "It doesn't matter who he is, he is targeting me."
"It's too much to bully someone."
After saying that, Bai Yu'an looked at A Tao calmly: "Don't think about that now, let's go listen to Yuxuan first."
Seeing Bai Yuan's indifferent expression, A Tao couldn't help but ask, "But what about the house?"
"Young master wants to move out so much..."
Bai Yu'an put down the curtain, put his fingers in his sleeves, his eyes darkened, and then he whispered: "That person is targeting me, just change it to another person."
A Tao had an epiphany and said, "Why don't you pick someone up on the street?"
Bai Yu'an was helpless: "Not to mention whether the other party can believe it or not, just say that if you look for someone like this, maybe the people behind me can also see it."
A Tao's eyes widened in shock: "Master, did you say someone is following us?"
Bai Yu'an held his forehead and said softly: "Not necessarily, but it's better to be more prepared."
"We'll talk about this later. Let's go listen to Yuxuan first."
When the carriage arrived at Tingyuxuan, it was already dark.
Tingyuxuan is built along the lake, connected to the wooden corridor on the shore and walked to the attic in the center of the lake.
Lanterns are hung on both sides of the wooden corridor. The attic in the middle of the lake has four or five floors. The bottom two floors are the dining room, and the upper two floors are the private rooms.
The scenery around Tingyuxuan is beautiful, and the price is not expensive, so ordinary people can afford it, so there are many people there every day.
As soon as I reached the lobby on the first floor, I heard various noises and a wave of warmth came over me.
When we got to the Lingzi Room on the fourth floor, Gao Han and Wen Changqing were already waiting. When they saw Bai Yu'an opening the door, they smiled and invited people to come and sit down.
There were two new faces in the private room today. Wen Changqing saw Bai Yuan sitting down next to Gao Han and introduced him: "The people next to me are relatives from my hometown. They are here to take the exam this time."
As he said that, the fat man sitting next to Wen Changqing stood up and held his hands in his hands: "My surname is Zhang Yunde, and I have met all of you sirs today."
He said and bowed.
Gao Han stood up and pressed Zhang Yunde's hand and said, "We have a leisurely gathering today. There are no rules. It's better to be casual."
Zhang Yunde nodded with a smile and sat down.
Then a man with a delicate face stood up and said, "My surname is Gong and my name is Yushu. Please take care of me in the future."
These are all kind words, and everyone on the field is also polite.
Wen Changqing looked at Bai Yu'an and smiled: "Yunde is my cousin. I have heard about your reputation a long time ago, so I insist on coming with me to see you this time."
"You said you were a teenager in high school. I admire you and want to come and meet you."
As he said this, Wen Changqing smiled and asked Zhang Yunde: "Now that we have seen it, how do you feel?"
Zhang Yunde looked at Bai Yu'an with admiration in his eyes: "It's really not bad. He looks like an elegant person from Qingfeng Jiyue. I'm far behind."
Bai Yu'an replied politely and asked people to stop praising her.
Wen Changqing smiled and pointed to Gong Yushu next to Zhang Yunde: "This is a juren who is also here to take the exam. I met Yunde by chance. It seems that his name is somewhat similar to Yu'an, which can be regarded as fate."
Gong Yushu looked at Bai Yu'an with a smile in his eyes. He raised his hand and held the cup towards Bai Yu'an: "It seems that Master Bai and I do have some fate. Why don't we have a drink together."
Bai Yu'an then looked at Gong Yushu and saw him sitting upright like a handsome young man, wearing a green outer robe and a neat white robe.
His face is a bit gentle, his appearance is not too outstanding, his hair is half-tied, and his eyes are somewhat polite.
He is also on the thin side and only slightly taller than Bai Yu'an, which makes Bai Yu'an feel a bit familiar.
She picked up the cup in front of her and collided with Gong Yushu's cup with a faint smile. After a crisp sound, they both drank the tea in the cup.
The window in the private room was not closed, and the wind from the lake seemed to blow in, lifting the curtain on the window and seeming to hang on Bai Yu'an's sleeves.
What we eat today is roasted venison. There is a fire in the stove, and a piece of fresh venison is hung on the iron shelf next to it. As much meat as you want to eat, you can cut it out.
The fire in the stove was strong, and there were people around the table, so even if the night breeze came in, it didn't feel cold.
Wen Changqing was thoughtful and arranged a table for the accompanying girls, and gradually the room became lively.
Because Zhang Yunde was closer to the iron frame, he took on the task of cutting the meat. The sound of oil squeaking and splashing made everyone hide again.
Wen Changqing said at this time: "How can you eat meat without drinking alcohol? I'll ask the waiter to bring a pot of wine."
Everyone responded.
Gao Han, who had been holding meat for Bai Yu'an next to him, heard this and said with a rare smile: "That's fine."
As he said that, he looked at Bai Yu'an: "Yu'an, maybe you drink?"
Naturally, Bai Yu'an couldn't let down the fun at this scene, so he nodded and said, "You can drink some, but you can't drink too much."
Wen Changqing immediately smiled and asked the boy waiting outside the door to go down and bring the wine.
Soon the drinks were served. Gong Yushu took the wine bottle from the side and stood up to pour a glass for everyone.
Bai Yu'an looked at the filled wine glass at her fingertips, and then heard Wen Changqing holding up the glass and saying to Gong Yushu and Zhang Yunde: "Today's gathering, I wish you in advance to be named on the gold medal list and achieve great success from now on."
Gao Han touched Bai Yu'an's arm, and then Bai Yu'an raised the cup and took a sip together.
It was so bitter again, Bai Yu'an only took a small sip and put it on the table.
When Gong Yushu stood up and was about to pour wine for everyone, he paused when he saw Bai Yuan's glass with more than half of it left, and then filled it up again calmly.
It seems that the wine glass is empty.
Bai Yu'an knew that she was a little rude. After all, she had not even finished the wine in advance to wish someone a gold medal.
Looking at Gong Yushu's smiling face opposite him, Bai Yu'an lowered his eyebrows and looked at the wine glass, feeling a little thoughtful in his heart.
Gao Han glanced at Bai Yu'an next to him, and then said: "The Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet is next month, and you Hanlin will also participate. Have you prepared the birthday gifts?"
There was no big change on Wen Changqing's face: "The Queen Mother probably won't even look at the birthday gifts given by unknown people like us."
As he spoke, he drank another glass of wine and smiled: "Besides, what's the use of trying to please the Queen Mother?"
"Now the emperor has no real power, the real power is in the hands of Shen Shoufu."
"If Chief Shen doesn't delegate power for a day, the little emperor will be nothing more than a puppet emperor, and the Queen Mother will have no say."
As he spoke, he sighed again: "However, it is not necessarily good for the court to let the little emperor personally govern. Now that the world is at peace and the borders are stable, there is nothing to say about this."
After Wen Changqing finished speaking, the scene became quiet for a moment.
