Li Jinghuan, who had just finished checking the account books at the shop outside, was now sitting in the carriage of the Li Mansion, looking a little tired. The servant outside the carriage asked him if he wanted to go back home, and he immediately thought of Bai Shuang's face at home, who was just like her name.
Hoarfrost, hoarfrost, it is really as cold as ice.
He closed his eyes tightly, sighed deeply and said, "I'm not going anywhere, just wandering around the streets."
Whenever he thought of Bai Shuang, he couldn't help but think of the first time he met her. That day he went to the shop to check the account books as usual, but the carriage he was riding in accidentally collided with another carriage.
Just as he was impatiently waiting in the carriage for the coachman and the servant to solve the problem, he heard a gentle female voice coming from outside the carriage, the voice as soft and warm as a feather caressing your chest.
"Sir, my driver didn't watch the road and hit your carriage. I will be responsible for all the repair costs, but I was in a hurry and forgot to bring silver. Could you please leave your name and I will have someone send the silver when I return?"
Li Jinghuan couldn't help but curiously lift the carriage curtain, and saw a girl in plain white clothes in front of him, wearing a white gauze hat with a large brim that seemed to cover her entire body.
But Li Jinghuan still saw the girl's beautiful face from the vaguely visible white veil, causing him to forget to answer the girl's words for a moment and just stare at her blankly.
After the girl left, he was still staring blankly at her departing back. He seemed to be hit by something, a feeling he had never experienced before surged into his heart and gradually surrounded him.
When he found out that the girl was Bai Shuang, the eldest daughter of the Bai family, he asked the coachman to pass by the gate of the Bai Mansion every day.
So every day when he went out and came back home, the entrance of the Bai family became a place he had to pass by. He didn't know what he was expecting, as if this had become something he had to do every day.
Finally one day, when his carriage passed by the gate of the Bai Mansion as usual, he saw the white figure he had been thinking about day and night.
So his carriage followed Bai Fu's carriage all the way to a lotus pond outside the city. He watched Bai Shuang pull two little girls, one big and one small, off the Bai Fu's carriage.
So he somehow rented a small boat and sat next to their boat, not too far away.
He stood at the bow anxiously, trying to see what Bai Shuang was doing inside the boat. He plucked a lotus flower and plucked it petal by petal, hesitating in his heart...
Just when he gathered up his courage and was about to go up and strike up a conversation, he saw the girl who had been playing in the water at the bow of Baishuang's boat fall into the water with a splash.
Without thinking, he immediately took off his shoes and socks and jumped into the water. In one go, he pulled the girl out of the water.
He watched them anxiously get on the carriage and leave. Only then did he remember that he had forgotten to say a few words to her. Soon her family sent her thank-you gifts. He looked at the gifts, but in his heart he hoped that she could thank him in person.
His carriage still passed by the gate of Bai Mansion every day, but he never had the chance to meet her again.
Finally one day when he was returning home as usual, the little girl he rescued that day suddenly rushed out and blocked his way. He knew that this little girl was her second sister.
He immediately became happy. He finally had a reason to see her. He rubbed her head happily and asked, "Little girl, why did you run out alone? Do you want me to send someone to take you back home?"
At this moment, his heart was leaping with joy. He didn't care whether the little girl in front of him was willing or not. She had to be willing today. He was determined to send her off today.
He happily rode on his favorite reddish-brown horse, and followed the carriage carrying the little one towards the direction of Bai Mansion.
Finally he arrived at the Bai Mansion, where Mr. Bai and his family warmly welcomed him. During the visit, he also met an old acquaintance from Sifang Pavilion, Bai Lang.
He suddenly became even happier. That day, as he was riding his horse back home, he felt that the air around him was sweet.
For a long time afterwards, he went to Bai Mansion to play chess with Bai Lang every day, and Bai Shuang was always quietly painting not far from where they were playing chess, and she would look over here from time to time.
Every time her eyes swept over him, his heartbeat seemed to stop, and he even felt that time around him had stopped.
At that time, he secretly thought that Bai Shuang also had feelings for him. Until one day, after drinking, he drunkenly pulled Bai Lang aside and asked, "Bai Lang, do you think Bai Shuang has feelings for me? If I ask her to marry me, will she agree?"
That night, he and Bai Lang drank a lot of wine until dawn. After he sobered up, he went to find his mother and asked her to come to his house to propose marriage.
His mother was naturally happy as well, as this was the first marriage in their Li family. On the day his mother went to propose marriage, he sat far away in a carriage that was parked in an alley in front of the Bai family's gate.
He waited anxiously for his mother to come out of the Bai Mansion, but what he never expected was that Bai Shuang actually agreed to marry him.
God knows how he felt when he learned the news that day. He was born as the eldest son. He could use an abacus at the age of three and read an account book at the age of five.
His father always told him that he was the eldest son and would shoulder the burden of the Li family in the future, so he dared not stop for even a moment. Everyone said that he was mature beyond his years and looked like an old man at a young age.
He originally thought that his life would be uneventful like this, and when he reached the right age, his family would arrange for him to get married. It seemed as if he was born for the Li family.
He never expected that he would be able to marry the person of his dreams in this life.
Soon it was their wedding day. He got up early and rode on the maroon horse again. He prepared hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to exchange for copper coins and scattered them along the road. He wanted everyone to share this joy with him.
People on both sides of the road were rushing to buy things, and everyone was congratulating him. He rode the horse with joy and brought Bai Shuang back to his home.
That day he pretended to be drunk and returned to the room early. He couldn't wait to lift her red veil. She was still as beautiful as ever under the veil.
He called her softly, "Madam..."
After a night, he woke up early. Looking at her sleeping beside him, he swore that he would never take a concubine in his life. He even wanted to pick the moon in the sky for her.
But soon he discovered that Bai Shuang was just like her name. He seemed to have never seen her smile, and there was always an unspeakable sadness on her face.
He thought she was just like that, cold-hearted by nature, until one day, he accidentally discovered that she had been secretly drinking contraceptive soup behind his back.
His eyes were red with anger, and he asked her almost frantically, "Why! Why on earth!"
