After returning to the house, A Tao brought the package brought by Bai Yuanqing to Bai Yu'an: "My wife brought this to Young Master Yuan Qing. Open it and take a look."
Bai Yuan sat on the stool and opened the cloth bag. What she saw was several spring clothes made by her mother.
Bai Yu'an touched the material. It was soft and comfortable. It should be made of cloth woven by her mother herself.
A Tao picked up the clothes and unfolded them to look at them. She smiled at Bai Yu'an and said, "Madam makes clothes for the young master every year, and she is still wearing the ones from the year before last."
Bai Yu comforted Material's sadness: "My mother is old, but she does everything for me personally, but I can't be around to be filial."
Seeing that Bai Yu'an looked sad, A Tao persuaded him, "Young Master is now an official in the capital, and Madam is very happy."
"This is filial piety."
A Tao took out some clothes and saw the boots at the bottom. He took them out and smiled at Bai Yu'an: "Master, do you want to try it?"
Bai Yu'an waved his hand: "Let it go for now."
When he lowered his head and saw the cloth bag inside again, Bai Yu'an opened the cloth bag. When he saw the silver inside, his eyes were slightly red.
A Tao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Young Master has already become an official, and Madam is still worried that you don't have enough money."
Bai Yu'an pinched the silver and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother is worried about me."
After A Tao took the clothes and boots and put them away, he walked up to Bai Yu'an and comforted her softly: "Madam has been worried about the young master since she came here. The young master should also reply with a letter in two days."
Bai Yu'an nodded.
After washing up at night, when A Tao was about to leave, Bai Yu'an pulled A Tao back and said, "Just sleep with me."
A Tao didn't follow him this time: "Master Yuan Qing is still here. How can I see what he's like? How can I explain it to you?"
Bai Yu'an said: "You are the girl in my house, it's okay to sleep here."
However, A Tao refused to live or die. Bai Yu'an had no choice but to let A Tao go.
Fortunately, nothing happened at night. When Bai Yu'an got up early the next morning, he saw his cousin and Chang Jing getting up early and practicing boxing in the yard.
Bai Yu'an went out after washing up. Seeing Chang Jing's small body following his father in a decent manner, he couldn't help but smile at Bai Yuanqing and said, "Why don't you sleep more, cousin?"
Bai Yuanqing punched his body upright: "I've been getting up before midnight these years, and I'm used to having long scenes with me."
As he spoke, he smiled at Bai Yu'an again: "Why did Yu'an get up later than Changjing?"
A Tao snickered beside her. To be honest, her young master sometimes didn't get up until he was three o'clock in the morning.
Bai Yu'an was also a little ashamed that he couldn't compare to Chang Jing.
She smiled and replied a few words, and then said: "I'm going to go on duty first. My cousin just thinks he's at home."
Bai Yuanqing nodded: "You can just go and don't worry about me."
Bai Yu'an then took A Tao out.
Hanlin is never very busy, and I have completed seven or eight proofreadings of Huidian.
In the afternoon, Bai Yu'an finished what he was doing and was about to leave, but was stopped by the young eunuch waiting at the door: "Master Bai, Chief Minister Shen asked you to go to the Wenhua Palace."
Bai Yu'an frowned: "What are you going to do in Wenhua Palace?"
The eunuch smiled at Bai Yu'an and said, "This servant doesn't know."
Bai Yu'an said no more, straightened his robe and went to Wenhua Hall.
When they arrived at the entrance of the Wenhua Hall, the eunuch at the door quickly went in to announce the situation. After a while, he came out and smiled at Bai Yu'an: "Master Bai, the Holy One has allowed you to come in."
Bai Yu'an glanced at the expression of the eunuch at the door, then at his own appearance, straightened his clothes before crossing the threshold.
Entering the palace, one immediately saw the young emperor sitting at the table, with Bachelor Yang teaching the emperor how to calligraphy.
The little emperor looked impatient, holding his head up and writing with a brush, showing no trace of manners. Bachelor Yang also had a look of helplessness on his face.
Bai Yu'an hurriedly lowered his head and knelt in front of the hall: "Bai Yu'an, the editor of Weichen Hanlin, has met the Holy One."
When the little emperor heard Bai Yu'an's voice, he threw away his brush and said in surprise to Bai Yu'an: "Are you the one who will teach me how to play chess?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand towards Bai Yu'an: "Come here quickly, playing chess is definitely more interesting than writing."
After Bai Yu'an knelt down and thanked him again, he quickly stood up and walked to the little emperor.
When they got closer, as soon as they were in front of the little emperor, the little emperor pulled Bai Yu'an's sleeve across the table and asked her to come to him.
Seeing this, Academician Yang next to him sighed and packed the things on the table.
Bai Yu'an looked at Scholar Yang next to him.
Scholar Yang glanced at Bai Yu'an and saw the confusion in her eyes. He shook his head and patted Bai Yu'an's hand and said, "Shen Shoufu said that Your Majesty needs to learn chess and meditate."
"I recommended you. From now on, you will also serve as the Holy Emperor's chess player."
As he spoke, Academician Yang approached Bai Yu'an and sighed: "Although it is a blessing, it is also an opportunity..."
The news was a bit sudden. Bai Yu'an glanced at the little emperor, and just when he was about to ask again, Bachelor Yang already bowed his body and left.
The little emperor didn't even look at Scholar Yang. He just waved his hands impatiently and said to Bai Yu'an, "Let's play chess quickly."
Bai Yu'an looked at the back of Xuester Yang walking out alone, his heart turned silently, and then he looked at the little emperor.
The little emperor is less than ten years old now. His slightly green face has slender eyebrows and slender eyes. There is always an evil aura when he looks at people, which can make people feel cold.
She quickly lowered her eyebrows and bowed to the little emperor and asked, "Have you ever played chess before, Your Majesty?"
The little emperor saw that Bai Yu'an was a step away from him and had many rules. He was a little impatient when he bowed his hands frequently. He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Why are you as boring as Mr. Yang?"
"Don't be so quick to salute, but you are the one Mr. Yang called. You must be very good at chess."
Bai Yu'an was speechless. He paused for a moment before letting go. He looked at the little emperor and said, "Wei Chen understands a thing or two."
The little emperor excitedly asked the eunuch next to him to get the chessboard and chess pieces.
Xiao Ping, the great eunuch behind the little emperor, put the chessboard on the low table, took another step forward, and whispered in Bai Yuan's ear: "Your Majesty, I couldn't sit still before, so I never played chess, but I can't play chess." It’s just fun, Master Bai, don’t take it too seriously.”
Bai Yu'an's expression moved and he looked at Xiao Ping's meaningful face.
There were several young eunuchs standing around, serving the little emperor from time to time. Bai Yu'an looked back and asked the little emperor to sit down at the low table.
After the little emperor sat down, Bai Yu'an sat opposite.
It's just that the little emperor's posture was hunched over when he was sitting. Bai Yu'an couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty, please sit more properly."
The little emperor was still childish and naturally sat irregularly. He still sat crookedly and frowned: "Let's get started."
Bai Yu'an knew that he couldn't persuade him, and any more advice would only anger the little emperor.
She once heard that the little emperor became violent and arrested someone to chop him up on the spot. He was disrespectful to an old minister like Mr. Yang, and he was probably even more disrespectful to himself.
After calming down slightly, Bai Yu'an lowered his head and introduced the chessboard: "There are nineteen paths and nine star positions on the chessboard."
She pointed at the black dot in the middle and said, "The one in the middle is called Tianyuan."
But before Bai Yu'an finished speaking, the little emperor impatiently grabbed a handful of chess pieces, played with them, and put them directly on the chess board: "Just teach me how to play chess. Don't waste your time. ."
The little emperor was so impatient, Bai Yu'an finally realized Mr. Yang's helplessness every time.
The tree that hugs each other is born from the ground, and the nine-story platform is born from the tired earth.
Bai Yu'an wanted to give some advice, but seeing that the little emperor was even more impatient, he remained silent.
She had no choice but to put a few chess pieces on the chessboard and teach the little emperor what it means to take a piece and what it means to be angry.
But the little emperor looked uninterested when he heard this, and simply threw the chess pieces in his hands around.
The chess piece fell to the ground, and the eunuchs hurriedly knelt on the ground to pick it up.
The two eunuchs bumped their heads together, making the little emperor laugh again.
