A Tao waited outside the palace gate until night, and finally anxiously saw Bai Yu'an coming out of the palace gate.
The wind was strong at night, and A Tao saw the brightly lit palace entrance in the distance. Bai Yu'an's robe was blown in the wind, and she felt inexplicably uncomfortable when that thin figure walked over with slumped shoulders.
He hurriedly greeted him. It was a cold night, and A Tao hugged Bai Yu'an in his arms: "Why did the young master come back so late?"
Breathing out a breath of white air, Bai Yu'an felt that his fingertips were getting cold, and said in a low voice: "Mr. Yang asked me to be the emperor's chess player, and I have been playing chess with the little emperor tonight."
A Tao couldn't help but worry after hearing this: "I heard that the little emperor has a moody temper and likes to kill people randomly. I guess nothing happened to the young master today."
With one foot on the carriage, Bai Yu'an turned back to look at A Tao: "Where did you hear about it?"
A Tao helped Bai Yuan get into the carriage and said after hearing this: "I was passing by the market and heard a few comments from others."
Bai Yu'an lowered his eyes. It had only been two years, but the little emperor's reputation had become like this outside.
After sitting on the carriage, Bai Yu'an half-squinted his eyes with a tired expression and asked A Tao: "Did you hear anyone talking about Chief Minister Shen outside?"
A Tao shook his head: "It seems that I haven't heard of anything."
Bai Yu'an stopped talking, held his forehead, and thought of Shen Jue's last words just now.
When Bai Yu'an arrived at the courtyard, he saw Wei Ruyi and Wang Chunping standing in the courtyard waiting for him.
Bai Yu'an glanced at Wang Chunping, then frowned at Wei Ruyi: "Why don't you go sit inside?"
Wei Ruyi rubbed her hands and said, "There is a young master practicing calligraphy inside, I'm afraid I'll disturb him."
Bai Yu'an looked into the small hall and saw her cousin sitting on a chair reading a book. Chang Jing sat quietly next to him practicing calligraphy.
Bai Yu'an sighed, Chunhan was no joke, and hurriedly led the two of them to the small hall to sit down.
As soon as Chang Jing saw Bai Yu'an, he quickly put down the pen in his hand in surprise and rushed towards Bai Yu'an.
"Uncle Immortal."
Bai Yu'an smiled and bent down to hold Chang Jing in his arms, and asked Wei Ruyi to greet Wang Chunping to sit down on the chair.
After sitting down with Changjing in his arms, Bai Yu'an asked Ah Tao to quickly pour hot tea.
Bai Yuanqing put down the book in his hand, looked at Bai Yu'an and said, "Is there something going on in the palace today?"
Bai Yu'an nodded with a relaxed look, smiled again and said: "I have something to do temporarily, so I came back late."
Bai Yuanqing nodded, put down his book and frowned at Chang Jing in Bai Yu'an's arms: "Your cousin is tired after coming back so late at night. Get off your cousin quickly."
Bai Yu'an waved his hand: "Changjing is not heavy, so it can still be carried."
At this time A Tao came in with hot tea, and Bai Yu'an asked Wei Ruyi and Wang Chunping to drink a cup of hot tea to warm themselves up.
The tea set was usually used for entertaining guests. Wei Ruyi couldn't let go of the tea cup, but Wang Chunping drank it in one gulp and told Wei Ruyi to drink quickly.
Chuntao put another hand stove into Bai Yu'an's arms, and then said to Wei Ruyi: "How is the rent of the house going?"
Wei Ruyi quickly put down the tea cup in her hand, took out a deed from her arms, put it in Bai Yuan's hand and said with a smile: "The house has been rented. It is in the east of the city and next to the suburbs. It is a private house with a single courtyard." Entering the small courtyard, three taels of silver a month."
After saying that, Wei Ruyi looked at Bai Yu'an and asked a little cautiously: "Are you satisfied, sir?"
Bai Yu'an read the deed carefully. After seeing that there was no problem, he smiled at Wei Ruyi and said, "Of course I'm satisfied."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an looked at Wang Chunping behind Wei Ruyi and smiled: "Thank you, Brother Wang, for this."
Wang Chunping was a little embarrassed when Bai Yu'an called him "Brother Wang". He stood up awkwardly, scratched his head at Bai Yu'an and said, "Master Bai, you're too polite."
Bai Yu'an smiled and said to Wei Ruyi: "It's getting dark now. It's hard for you to wait for me for so long. Come back soon."
Wei Ruyi nodded and looked at Bai Yu'an: "Master, please take care of yourself. It's been cold recently. Don't get sick again."
Bai Yu'an smiled, and then Wei Ruyi took Wang Chunping away.
Bai Yuanqing, who had been silent next to him, looked at Wei Ruyi's back, and then said to Bai Yu'an: "Yu'an, do you want to move the yard?"
Bai Yu'an looked at Chang Jing who was quietly playing with his fingers in his arms, and said softly to Bai Yuanqing: "This place was lent to me by others. I can't stay here any longer."
When Bai Yuanqing first came to this place, he felt that this place was valuable. Not to mention all the surrounding houses were magnificent, and the roads were much wider.
This morning I heard A Tao say that this place is close to the palace, so it must be a good place.
He couldn't help but ask: "Who lent you such a good place to live?"
Before Bai Yuan could speak, A Tao who was next to him spoke first and said with a smile on his face: "Shoufu Shen let my family live here."
"My lord was sick before, and Chief Shen even came to see my lord."
Bai Yuanqing was startled and quickly looked at Bai Yu'an: "I didn't expect Yu'an to be so valued by the superiors. It seems that it will be a matter of time for him to be promoted in the future."
Bai Yuanqing stood up, bowed to Bai Yuan and said with a smile: "If Yuan is in a high position in the future, don't forget to support us."
Bai Yu'an quickly put Chang Jing on the ground, stood up, held Bai Yuanqing's hand and said, "Cousin, please don't say such words again."
"Not to mention that Yu'an is still a seventh-rank editor in Hanlin at this time. Even in the future, I have never asked for a high-ranking official or a generous salary. I just hope everything goes well."
Bai Yuanqing looked at Bai Yu'an's serious eyes and said, "I heard that Shen Chief Assistant is now assisting the emperor, and is even the emperor's teacher. How can Yu An be so favored by Shen Chief Assistant, and is he afraid that he will not be promoted in the future?"
After Bai Yu'an asked Bai Yuanqing to sit down, he stroked the hand warmer in his hand and said softly: "I am not valued by Chief Shen."
"He didn't let me live in this house because he liked me."
Bai Yuanqing was puzzled: "Why is that?"
Bai Yu'an smiled and shook his head: "It's a long story, let's talk about it later."
As he spoke, Bai Yu'an went to take the calligraphy written by Chang Jing just now, and looked at it in his hand. The handwriting was crooked. After all, the writing power was a bit weak, but some peaks could also be seen.
She smiled at Bai Yuanqing: "The calligraphy of Changjing does have some appearance."
Bai Yuanqing's eyes then looked at Chang Jing, who was playing with A Tao next to him. He looked a little pleased and said, "I'm just following the copybook."
"You praised him, he should be proud."
Bai Yu'an touched Chang Jing's hair, smiled at Bai Yuanqing and said, "Praise is what you deserve."
"From now on, we will reach the third gate of Changjing, so that your father will be majestic and majestic."
Chang Jing looked at Bai Yu'an with big puzzled eyes: "Uncle Immortal, what is the third grade?"
"Is there any candied haws to eat?"
Everyone in the room couldn't help laughing.
Just as she was talking, Mother Chen suddenly came over to look at Bai Yu'an and said, "Sir, please go over and take a look. They said that the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion is here. I took a look just now and it seems that he has brought a lot of things."
Bai Yu'an was silent, then whispered: "I don't have to go there, just let them in."
After a while, the housekeeper came in with many servants. The housekeeper walked up to Bai Yu'an, bowed and smiled and asked, "Master Bai, where do you put these?"
Bai Yu'an glanced at the boxes, and at a glance there were more than a dozen boxes.
There was no expression on his face. Bai Yu'an just said to A Tao next to him: "You can take him in."
A Tao was stunned when she looked at those boxes. Just by looking at the boxes, she knew that the things inside were precious. When she heard Bai Yu'an's voice, she reacted and quickly took people to the side room to store them.
When Butler Lin saw that the things were put away, he came to say goodbye to Bai Yu'an before leaving.
Bai Yu'an smiled, then smiled again after seeing Butler Lin leave.
Bai Yuanqing walked up to Bai Yu'an in surprise and asked, "Whose Shen family sent these things?"
Bai Yu'an smiled and said in a calm voice: "What others put here temporarily, I will come back to get it later."
Bai Yuanqing nodded.
