When I got up, I slightly moved the grand teacher's chair, and the chair made a 'squeak' friction sound against the bluestone floor tiles on the ground. The sound was not loud, but it was very transparent.

There was a soft knock on the outer door of the house, and the sound of the wooden shaft and the door opening came softly.

A maid stood at the entrance with a lantern in her hand: "Is the young master awake?"

"En!" Shen Bai's voice was still hoarse, but not so deep.

The door was pushed halfway open with a 'squeak', and a maid carrying a lantern came in, blew out the lantern, and then lit the candles in the house one after another.

There are tall four-legged candlesticks at both ends of the corner. Behind the candlesticks are copper mirrors to reflect light. When the candlesticks at both ends are lit, the whole room is lit up immediately.

Immediately after the lights in the main courtyard came on, a few girls came in with washbasins and hot water.

"Young Master, come and wash up!" A tall, fat girl said softly to Shen Bai, but it might be because her voice was already thick, so her voice seemed simple and heavy, a bit like a man.

"Linglong, didn't you go home to visit your relatives? Why did you come back?" Xi Hantang has the memory of Shen Bai. One of the close-knit girls, young Shen Bai saw her for the first time, but he chose 'Linglong' as the name for such a fat girl, just because he thought it was fun.

Because Linglong was from Bianjing, her family was poor, and she had many younger siblings, she was sold to the Shen Mansion, but because she was valued by Shen Bai, she was able to go home to visit her relatives.

"The young master had such a big incident yesterday, can the slaves stay there? If the slaves were there, they would definitely have lifted the young master out of the water immediately." Linglong's eyes were red, obviously crying.

But her phrase "lift the young master out of the water" was really funny. Shen Bai looked at the tall and tall Linglong, imagining that she lifted himself out of the water like a chicken, and couldn't help laughing. The other girls in the room Seeing that the young master was happy, he couldn't help but also laughed.

"Young master is still laughing." Linglong has been with Shen Bai for a long time, and she has long been used to her young master teasing herself, but she never minds.

Shen Bai straightened his face: "Understood, if my Hao Linglong is here, nothing will happen."

Even though he just said that, Linglong felt uncomfortable. The young master of Shen's mansion is gentle and elegant, he never puts airs on others, let alone pays attention to anything. Respect.

Linglong helped Shenbai to sit in front of the Eight Immortals table, and the maids streamlined the things for washing. First, there was water in teacups for rinsing mouth, then tooth powder and toothbrush, and there was a special spittoon. After rinsing, there was a cup of tea, celadon The tea is fragrant inside the teacup, and the elegant orchid aroma of the tea sets off the high grade of the tea color.

After washing up under the service of a group of maids, another group of maids brought six high-legged cups, which contained six classic dim sums. In a small celadon bowl in the shape of a six-petaled lotus flower.

"This is the prescription written by Imperial Physician Li yesterday. The ginseng soup is added with slow-cooked pork lung soup, which is the most nourishing for the lungs." The girl who spoke was the eldest girl in the mansion, and also Shen Bai's mother's maid, named Yuemei.

Shen Bai drank the soup lightly, the taste was strong but not heavy, showing the heat of the old soup.

After eating a bowl of soup and some soft snacks, the maids in the house slowly retreated, a girl came over with a cup of new tea, Yuemei gently placed it in front of Shen Bai, and then stood behind him with her hands together keep watch.

Even if you are a human being in two lives, after you lost your leg in the previous life, you watched a lot of movies and TV to pass the time. If you really want to wear clothes like this, stretch out your hands to eat, open your mouth, and have so many people serving you, if this feeling is not different, it is false talk.

Outside the corridor outside the door is the garden of the main courtyard. The small garden is surrounded by black tile corridors, bounded by a white wall. In the square space between the wall and the main entrance corridor, there is a maple tree, surrounded by rockery and small ponds. , and two stone lampposts.

When Bachelor Shen was there, he was the most elegant. There were small gardens in each main courtyard of the mansion, and they took advantage of the occasion to set up a scene to decorate the gardens of Shen's mansion in an elegant and interesting manner.

It was dawn, and the servants in the mansion were busy, but it did not affect the tranquility of the main courtyard at all.

"Let's go for a walk." Although he has Shen Bai's memory, it does not affect Xi Han's yearning for the ancient mansion at all, and he is very interested in taking a tour.

"The young master is in good health, it's better not to go out, it's windy outside, what if it blows you!" Yuemei persuaded in a low voice.

"June day, what kind of wind are you afraid of?" Shen Bai replied with a light smile, it was June day when he traveled through time, and the temperature was hot, even in Bianjing, the heat was unbearable during the day.

"The young master was injured yesterday, how can he heal so quickly, of course you have to be careful." Yuemei persuasively persuaded her, but her voice was soft.

Shen Bai was about to go back to her when Shunzi, a servant from the main courtyard, came over: "Young master, the first housekeeper and the second housekeeper are here, saying they want to see you."

"Oh?" Shen Bai thought about it, the chief housekeeper is Uncle Zhong, an old man in the mansion, who came from his hometown with his father, although his ability is average, but he is loyal.

The second housekeeper was hired later, and he also served in the mansion for nine years. He was the middle-aged man who didn't want to leave the room in front of him yesterday.

"Let them come to see me in the study." Shen Bai waved his hand and got up.

Yuemei frowned, dissatisfied with the two housekeepers taking Master Rao to rest early in the morning, but she didn't say much.

Standing forward, he wanted to support Shen Bai to walk, but Shen Bai waved his hand, and walked out of the room with Yuemei and Linglong.

The cool breeze blowing from the empty high wall outside the house makes people feel comfortable.

Seeing Shen Bai standing still, Yuemei asked nervously, "Master?"

"It's okay, it's just that I feel comfortable." After speaking, he led them through the corridor to the study in the next yard.

The name of Shen's study is 'Qingsitang'. As a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, although Shen Xueshi is not a big official, his knowledge is very famous in Bianjing, especially Concubine Shen, who was considered one of the four talented women in Bianjing back then. One, becoming a noble concubine again, made the reputation of the Shen residence very outstanding in the hearts of the students.

However, the previous Shen Bai just failed to pass the exam after being a scholar. He was ridiculed by the officials in Bianjing for a long time. It is to fall into the hands of this generation.

But all of this has nothing to do with Shen Bai who has changed his lining.

As the study of Shen's residence, Qingsi Hall is the most strict place in the residence, even the housekeepers in the residence dare not enter without permission.

As the eldest girl in the inner courtyard, Yuemei also manages Qingsi Hall, she stepped forward and pushed open the vermilion carved wooden door, the girl standing at the door saluted Shen Bai, then got up to prepare tea.

The huge bookcases in the room are placed on both sides, and the place under the desk is covered with a large piece of sewn white animal skin. Because of the glazed tiles, the room is brightly lit.

Sitting on the desk, smelling the strong book fragrance in the study room, this is the smell that a rich family can only have after years of accumulation.

The maid guarding the study handed her a cup of tea before she exited the door and stood guard outside, leaving only Yuemei and Linglong in the room.

Shen Bai drank his tea lightly, thinking about serving a cup of tea wherever he went, the expenses in this mansion were astonishing, just as he was thinking, the two housekeepers came in together.

The big housekeeper Zhong Bo came in crying, and knelt down on the ground: "Young Master, this old slave is guilty. Let Xing'er scare the young master, causing the young master to fall into the water. This old slave deserves to die. Please handle it with the young master."

"You old man is so ignorant, since you know that you deserve to die, you should pack up and leave, and dare to beg in front of the young master, do you think the young master is not enough to suffer?" The second housekeeper, Shen Fu, grabbed the words next to him, and as soon as he finished speaking Uncle Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground, trembled in fright.

"Young master, young master. The old slave dare not disturb the young master. Young master, just deal with it. If the old slave is to leave, the old slave's family will leave immediately. I just ask the young master to forgive Xing'er for the sake of the master. She is a fool. I don't know the seriousness!" Uncle Zhong wept so much that he kowtowed.

"Old Yancai, you dare to mention the master, you..." Shen Fu was cursing heartily at first, but he raised his eyes and glanced at Shen Bai who was sitting on the front seat of the study, and was looking at him coldly while holding a cup of tea.

Shen Fu served in the Shen Mansion for nine years, and has been getting along like a duck to water, especially after the master and his wife traveled to the world, this young master has an easy-going personality and has never been taken seriously by him, but at this moment, the young master watched coldly, even though he didn't say a word, But that aura made him feel creepy.

After all, Shen Fu was the one who stayed in the gate of the mansion for a long time, so he immediately plopped down and knelt on the ground: "Young master, forgive me. The slave was impatient and eager to protect the master. He violated the dignity of the young master. Please forgive the slave for the crime of disrespect."

Shen Bai lightly stroked the tea cover, took a leisurely sip of the tea, let the aroma of the tea disperse in his mouth before putting down the teacup.

Shen Fuqi, who was kneeling, was neither, nor was he, the soreness under his knees was unbearable.

"I'll deal with this matter later, you all go down."

After he said this, Uncle Zhong thought it was because the young master was in poor health, so he kowtowed and retreated immediately.

Shen Fu then exited the study and walked out of the middle courtyard, thinking about the words that Shen Bai said just now, although it was not aimed at anyone, it made him sweat out of fright.

Cruel words are not scary, but that attitude is amazing, especially during the few moments when he knelt down and waited, time pierced him like a needle.

"When did the young master become so powerful?" Shen Fu wondered in his heart.
