Just now there was noisy chatter and laughter, but now it's quiet again.
Even the servants not far behind him felt the atmosphere here and became quiet.
Zhang Yunde and Gong Yushu lowered their heads, looking a little embarrassed.
They dare not say much about the affairs of the imperial court on such an occasion.
Gao Han pursed his lips and glanced at Wen Changqing, then said in a low voice: "Master Wen had better be careful what you say outside. There are spy spies around Shen Shoufu everywhere, so be careful of trouble coming from your mouth."
Wen Changqing did drink two more glasses of wine just now, and he said these words on impulse.
At this moment, the surroundings became quiet, and he was shocked to realize that he was actually discussing government affairs outside.
Ting Yuxuan's interactions were complicated. If someone really heard about it and spread it to Shen Shoufu's ears, Wen Changqing would feel a layer of cold sweat rising on his back.
Bai Yu'an tightened her fingers on the wine glass and whispered: "Brother Wen is not wrong."
"Even if it reaches Chief Shen's ears, if he suppresses the courtiers because of this matter, it means that he is narrow-minded and arrogant, monopolizing power for his own selfish desires and using power for personal gain."
Gao Han's expression changed after hearing Bai Yu'an's words. He raised his hand and pressed Bai Yu'an's arm, frowning and telling her: "Don't say these words outside from now on."
"Even if it's not a crime, you can't get away with it."
Bai Yu'an lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, took the wine glass and took a sip alone.
This time she found the wine less bitter.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wen Changqing hurriedly called Zhang Yunde to cut the meat. Then he talked about the Qianqiu Banquet and asked Bai Yu'an, "Yu'an, what gifts are you planning to prepare?"
Bai Yu'an didn't think about it, shook his head and said, "Let's talk about it then."
Wen Changqing saw Bai Yu'an lowering his eyebrows and looking bored, so he didn't ask any more questions and talked to Gong Yushu about things in his hometown.
At this time, Gao Han said to Bai Yu'an: "Follow me and stand outside for a while. I have something to say to you."
Bai Yu'an was stunned when he saw Gao Han getting up again, so he got up and followed Gao Han.
Wen Changqing looked at the two people walking on the corridor outside and asked hurriedly: "If you don't want to eat barbecue, what are you doing outside?"
Bai Yu'an smiled warmly: "Go and stand outside."
Wen Changqing glanced at the two of them and knew that they had something to say when they went out, so he nodded and said nothing.
Standing on the porch outside, the wind on the lake was a bit strong, blowing Bai Yu'an's hair outward, and the hem of his clothes slapped on the fence.
Gao Han studied Bai Yuan's appearance for a few moments. Just now he was cold and cold, but now he was as gentle and elegant as a compassionate immortal.
I also saw that there was light powder on Bai Yuan's cheek, like the light lotus tip, looming, ice and pure.
Gao Han looked deeply, and he saw that Bai Yu'an's eyes never fell on his face. His eyes darkened and he looked towards the lake.
Bai Yu'an's eyes seemed to have never looked at anyone in the eye, and looked slightly alienated from everyone.
Even though they had known each other for more than two years and often traveled together, he felt that Bai Yu'an had never opened up to him.
There has always been a wall between them. Perhaps even Bai Yu'an himself didn't realize it. He isolated himself from everyone.
If you don't take the initiative to approach him, the high wall in the middle will get higher and higher.
Dots of lights reflected on the lake water, and the sparkling light was broken and broken. You could still vaguely hear talking and laughing from the bottom of the building.
Bai Yu'an looked at the lake, and when the breeze blew, he couldn't help but close his eyes, feeling a little warm on his cheeks.
She obviously didn't drink much, so she couldn't help but let out a deep breath.
He pressed his fingers on the cold railing, and after the coolness spread from his fingertips, Bai Yuan asked Gao Han, "What does Brother Gao want to tell me?"
When Gao Han saw Bai Yu'an looking towards him, his eyes were slightly downcast, and he pursed his lips and whispered: "What I told you last time was about going to serve together..."
Gao Han paused as he spoke, with an unusually downcast look on his face: "The doctor in the official department originally had some friendship with my father, but this matter still doesn't work..."
"Shen Shoufu doesn't lose his seal when he presses it, and neither do I..."
"Brother Gao."
Bai Yu'an gently interrupted Gao Han's words, looked at Gao Han and said, "I never blame Brother Gao, and Brother Gao doesn't have to be like this..."
In fact, Bai Yu'an already knew that this matter would not work, so she never took the initiative to ask Gao Han.
She thought maybe Gao Han thought it was impossible the last time he said it.
There are very few foreign appointees in Hanlin, and there is a process for transfer, so you can’t leave just when you want.
Shen Jue is also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. For such a sinister villain, it would be a shame to beg him.
Gao Han's eyes were full of disappointment: "I will leave as soon as the Queen Mother's Qianqiu Banquet is over."
He said with a wry smile: "I don't know how many years I can stay there before I can return to Beijing."
Bai Yu'an also felt uncomfortable, but he could only comfort him: "Brother Gao is steady and thoughtful, and he will definitely be promoted in the future."
Gao Han gave another wry smile and looked at the lake in the night: "I have indeed been a little willful in the past two years, but I have asked my family to worry about me."
Bai Yu'an couldn't see anything willful in Gao Han, and was surprised and said: "Brother Gao is so steady, how can he be willful?"
steady?
Gao Han felt a little bitter in his heart, but he just looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Over the years, my family has looked at several women from aristocratic families for me, but I didn't like them all and refused them willfully."
Bai Yu'an was a little confused: "Brother Gao is almost twenty-five, why has he never wanted to marry a wife?"
Gao Han sighed, looked at the lake and said, "I don't dare to be interested in those women. Seeing them with low eyebrows and submissive eyes, only focusing on the family's merits makes me feel bored."
Bai Yu'an frowned slightly after hearing this, and whispered: "Why would Brother Gao say such a thing?"
"If women can study, take exams, and go out to do business like men, how can they only live at home?"
"To govern the country, we must first regulate the family. If there is no woman at home to take care of the house, how can a man concentrate on the outside world?"
"Brother Gao's words are one-sided."
Gao Han was stunned after hearing Bai Yu'an's words, but he didn't expect Bai Yu'an to have such a big reaction.
He remembered that when he passed by Chunlou in the past, the people he walked with would make frivolous jokes at the thinly dressed women outside. Bai Yuan was also disgusted by this.
He also once said that women are no worse than men, and the wisdom in the house is not inferior to that in the court.
Gao Han didn't know why Bai Yuan was so protective of women, but he looked at the red mole between Bai Yuan's eyebrows and thought that people with such compassionate faces might be compassionate to the weak.
He found Bai Yu'an like this extremely attractive.
Standing deserted outside the world, yet seeming to be in it, sympathizing with everyone.
He smiled: "Yu An is always right."
"I'm being shallow."
