Bai Yu'an has not had a good night's sleep these days. He has things on his mind and cannot sleep well even when he is extremely tired.
When I was on duty, I held my head and turned the pages of the book in my hand for a long time without reading a single word.
I happened to look up and saw Wen Changqing carrying a stack of books and asked, "What did Brother Wen have?"
Wen Changqing stopped and said, "Collect some books and go to the library to sort them."
Bai Yu'an saw that the proofreading at hand was only for two days, and there were still some days before the deadline, and she couldn't calm down, so she stood up and said: "I will accompany you."
Wen Changqing smiled unexpectedly: "That's fine."
Bai Yu'an helped Wen Changqing take some books in his hands, and the two of them went to the library together.
On the way, Wen Changqing saw that Bai Yu'an's eyes were blue, and he kept lowering his eyes and looking worried, so he couldn't help but ask: "Yu'an, what's wrong with you recently?"
"I look listless these days, and I don't talk much anymore."
As he spoke, he expressed concern: "I heard that you are now waiting for His Majesty's call, but what happened to His Majesty's place?"
It is true that the little emperor is difficult to serve, and Wen Changqing is really worried that Bai Yuan will not be able to handle it.
Bai Yu'an looked at the road under his feet, shook his head and whispered: "Although His Majesty's temper is stubborn and difficult to deal with, you can survive it if you endure it."
Bai Yu'an said in a low voice: "But there are indeed a lot of troubles coming up recently, and I'm already powerless."
After hearing this, Wen Changqing paused for a moment, and then asked hurriedly: "Did Yu'an encounter other troubles recently?"
Bai Yu'an hummed, turned his head and saw the concern on Wen Changqing's face, smiled again and said: "But Brother Wen, don't worry about me. Although there are many troubles, you can always get over them one by one."
Wen Changqing said: "You and I came here in the same year, and we have a good relationship."
"If you really encounter any trouble that is difficult to solve, even if I can't help, you can tell me and I can work with you to find a solution."
"If you keep worrying about everything, you may not be able to solve the problem except making yourself more troubled."
Bai Yu'an smiled, crossed the threshold, put the scroll on the table, stood in front of the bookshelf and looked at Wen Changqing, and then said: "I know what Brother Wen is thinking."
"Brother Wen, don't worry about me. I already know how to solve it."
Wen Changqing saw that Bai Yu'an still didn't want to say anything, so he could only sigh: "If you don't want to say it, that's all. But if you need my help in the future, don't be polite to me."
Bai Yu'an nodded, flipped through the book to sort it out, and said after a while: "Brother Wen still remembers the man your cousin brought when we got together at Ting Yuxuan last time."
"The man's name is Gong Yushu."
Wen Changqing thought thoughtfully for a moment before saying, "I remember that he was a bit thin and delicate."
As he spoke, Wen Changqing smiled at Bai Yu'an and said, "Don't tell me, he looks a bit like you. He is very delicate and doesn't drink. He just sits on the side with a smile."
"He only responds if you talk to him. If you don't talk to him, he won't speak."
He approached Bai Yu'an again, turned to his face and asked curiously: "Why did Yu'an ask him?"
"But I saw him looking at you that day. Could it be that you two knew each other before?"
Wen Changqing was not shy about his movements, and now his shoulder was leaning on Bai Yuan's shoulder.
Bai Yu'an stepped back slightly and looked at Wen Changqing: "It's not that we know each other, we're just close to my hometown."
Then he asked: "How did your cousin know him?"
Wen Changqing nodded and then said: "I asked you when we were waiting in Yuxuan before you came."
"Yunde said that he met him when the Ministry of Rites report came out, because it seemed that Gong Yushu was accompanied by a man who fell down. My cousin saw that Gong Yushu couldn't help him, so he went over to help."
"That man is stupid. My cousin wanted to help him to the end, so he sent him back."
As he spoke, Wen Changqing looked at Bai Yu'an and sighed: "I heard from my cousin that Gong Yushu was also pitiful. He came to the capital alone with his stupid brother. All his money was robbed, and the small courtyard he rented looked shabby."
"I heard that his parents died when he was young, and there was a flood in his hometown. His stupid elder brother was the only family he had around him."
"My cousin felt compassion for him and went over to help him from time to time. Once he came back, he would feel better."
"Last time I was listening to Yuxuan, my cousin brought him with me. We talked about you when you weren't here. He asked several questions about you at that time, and then he said that he was also here to take the exam. of."
"My cousin was also shocked at the time. He had never heard of it before."
Bai Yu'an paused slightly, then nodded: "This way..."
Wen Changqing also felt a little pitiful, and sighed: "Did you see the clothes he was wearing that day?"
"The fabric is coarse and the person is very thin. It is really not easy for him to pass the examination in such a situation."
Bai Yu'an looked at the bookshelf and sorted it out, and hummed again.
Wen Changqing saw Bai Yu'an suddenly stop talking, and asked in confusion: "Why don't you talk again?"
Bai Yu'an smiled: "It seems that there is nothing left to say."
Wen Changqing was startled.
Does this mean that Gong Yushu has nothing to say, or that he has nothing to say at this moment.
He saw Bai Yu'an's eyes on the book and then looked at the stack of books on the table next to him, so he went to work first.
In the afternoon, Bai Yu'an stood at the door and hesitated for a long time, still not wanting to go.
After Wen Changqing finished cleaning up, he saw Bai Yu'an standing at the door hesitating, so he couldn't help but walked over and said, "I usually leave after seeing you for a while, so why are you still standing here today?"
Wen Changqing said with a smile and joked: "Is it possible that you have been waiting for me all the way?"
Bai Yu'an smiled: "It seems that I haven't left with Brother Wen for a long time."
Wen Changqing grabbed Bai Yuan's sleeve and said, "Then let's go together now?"
Bai Yu'an looked at the sky and said to Wen Changqing: "Brother Wen, let's go first. I still need to go to Wenyuan Pavilion first."
Wen Changqing was puzzled: "What are you doing at Wenyuan Pavilion at this time?"
Bai Yu'an said: "Shen Shoufu asked me to go there. Brother Wen should go first."
Wen Changqing didn't ask any more questions and left first.
Looking at Wen Changqing's back, Bai Yu'an lowered his head and thought for a while, then walked towards Wenyuan Pavilion.
She also walked slowly, stepping on the stone bricks under her feet, but in her head she thought about what had happened in the past few days.
Fortunately, Shen Jue could handle it for the time being, but it was Gu Yiyi who caught her off guard.
The best of both worlds.
How can we have the best of both worlds?
Shen Jue was sitting in front of the desk in the east hall of Wenyuan Pavilion. From the window, she saw Bai Yu'an slowly walking towards him with his head lowered.
His steps were so slow that he wanted to take one step as two steps, and he seemed to be looking at the ground absentmindedly, almost bumping into a passing eunuch without even realizing it.
Withdrawing his gaze, Shen Jue's eyes fell back on the folding book in front of him, and he asked the people standing in the room to close the windows and exit.
Here Bai Yu'an felt his feet hit a stone step, and then he looked up and saw that he had arrived at Wenyuan Pavilion unknowingly.
She raised her hands to the eunuch at the door and said, "Please go in and let me know. Bai Yu'an, the editor of Hanlin Academy, wants to see Shen Shoufu."
The eunuch laughed: "Editor Bai has been there since he entered. Shen Shoufu has already greeted him."
Bai Yu'an was not surprised, nodded and walked up the steps silently.
