......

Childhood is like a floating cloud in the sky, and if you don't know it, it will drift away.

It has been three years since Bai Yujing came to the imperial capital Yanfu.

...

In the first year, Nian Guan saw the people of Yanfu putting up lights, when Yan Xiao's parents and their family of three gathered together for the New Year, the warm scene of the parents and son, late at night, he hid in the quilt and missed his father, crying so much that his eyes were red.

He missed his father and sister very much, but he couldn't go back, he felt very lonely, and his heart was full of wanting to be a scholar anymore, and he didn't want to stay in Yanfu anymore. He was so impulsive that he wanted to leave, but it reminded him of what Uncle Zhang said to him when he was a scholar, "Think about your father and sister before you do anything", and in the end, he endured it.

...

The next year, he didn't cry anymore, although he still missed his parents and sister in his heart. After a year, everyone in the Yan Mansion got to know him a little. Because he is small, and because he is relatively quiet, he watches and listens more, although he is small, he never acts as a villain behind his back, and the servants in the Yan Mansion no longer care about him.

He saw the truth of many things, saw the complex darkness of many people's hearts, and understood a lot of truths. Although he was scared and resistant, he also asked himself to calm down. After a long time, he learned who to stay away from, and who is called good and evil. He not only learned to observe, but also learned to protect himself, and his eyes were filled with a kind of light, like the pearl of discernment.

...

In the third year, when Yan Xiao was just ten years old, he was taken away by Yan Xuan, an ancestor of the Yan family, leaving Bai Yujing alone, and he was already a scholar.

Fortunately, the Yan couple were still so satisfied with his performance, and still let Bai Yujing live in Yan Xiao's pavilion, and only let him study with peace of mind.

Bai Yujing was very grateful for their kindness, and also changed his idea of not being able to see his parents for three years after leaving home. He remembered that his father said that "the landlord's family is very good to our family, and we must know how to repay the kindness", and his desire to leave alone and secretly disappeared, and slowly there was a feeling of being at peace with the situation.

...

In the imperial capital Yan Mansion, many servants knew that there was a scholar of Young Master Yan Xiao in the mansion. This scholar lives a leisurely life, usually except for reading, it seems that there is nothing else to do, and he is quite favored by the young master and the young lady, often stays in the little master's room, and does not go out much, and some servants joke "It's really like a little daughter-in-law".

In fact, many of their servants are envious of Bai Yujing, because Bai Yujing is just a scholar, but he seems to live the life of a little master so leisurely, they don't have much leisure time all day long, and they have to be punished for doing wrong, not only will they be beaten, but the most important thing is that the money and silver will also be deducted.

After Bai Yujing came to Yanfu in Chang'an City, in addition to going out of the mansion with Yan Xiao, even if Yan Xiao left, the young master Yan Hao and the young lady Lin Yue loved him very much, and he never ran out by himself, he understood his identity.

Yan Xiao always asked him to call him the eldest brother, but Bai Yujing also knew that although the Yan couple and their family of three were very good to him and would not care about the identity of the scholar, there were too many people in Yanfu, and there were also many servants, and Yanfu was not Yan Xiao's family of three.

Since Yan Xiao was picked up by his ancestor Yan Xuan, Bai Yujing was left alone. He didn't have much to do but read. When Yan Xiao was still there, he had already finished reading the books in the small study, and usually Yan Xiao went to his parents to bring back the books for Bai Yujing to read, read one book after another, and finally finished reading them all.

Yan and his wife thought that Yan Xiao was so studious and very satisfied, but in the end, they found out that their son brought the book back for Bai Yujing, a scholar, which made the two of them smile bitterly.

Yan Hao and his wife were also out of curiosity, and naturally it was also a test, and they found that Bai Yujing not only had a good memory, but also had good ideas, and was very talented in learning and mastering, so they valued Bai Yujing more and more.

...

Early in the morning, in the courtyard of the Young Master Pavilion of the Yan Mansion.

"After reading this book, how do you feel that this book is not very complete..."Bai Yujing put down the book in his hand and shook his head in confusion.

Even he didn't notice how many books he had read, just talking about the bookshelf on the Yan couple's side, there were hundreds of books in one row, three rows, there were already hundreds, and more importantly, the quality of the books collected by the Yan couple was very high, just like people who had seen the big city and looked at the countryside again, they naturally had a different feeling in their hearts!

Bai Yujing stood up, walked over and opened Yan Xiao's door. This was naturally seen by the people patrolling around the house, but he didn't say anything when he saw it, and if he opened the door of the master's room who was not at home by a random servant, it would be difficult to be questioned.

Bai Yujing missed Yan Xiao a little. After coming here, usually he didn't have any superfluous interactions with other people in the mansion except for being with Yan Xiao, even the Yan couple sometimes saw each other once or twice a month.

After Bai Yujing looked at the room, he closed the door and went out. The Yan Mansion was very large and there were many corridors, but he was able to quickly come to the residence of the Yan couple with his memory. It's just that he didn't come at the right time, but he also met Old Butler Sun.

"Hello Grandpa Zhou..."Bai Yujing met the old housekeeper Sun who came from the other side of the corridor.

"Xiaobai, are you looking for a young master..."Old Butler Zhou also knows a lot about this baby's habits, and he also likes such a baby born in a tenant farmer's family, not only smart, studious and sensible, but also relatively stable.

"Yes, Grandpa Zhou..."Bai Yujing replied.

"The young master and his wife went out to run errands, and it is estimated that they will come back in a few days, do you have anything to do, tell Grandpa Zhou, and Grandpa Zhou will help you tell you when the time comes..."

"It's nothing, after reading the book, I want to return it to the young master..."After Bai Yujing came to the imperial capital Yan Mansion, he found that the Yan couple were young masters, and there was another one above who was the master, Yan Xiao's grandfather, and he changed his name after him.

"Next time, when the young master comes back, you can take it again. If you don't have a book to read, it's better to go out of the house to have a look, you don't have to be in the house all day, you have to relax your body more..."Old housekeeper Zhou also knew that Bai Yujing was reading in the little young master's courtyard all day long, and he didn't know how this kid could sit for such a long time.

Bai Yujing thought about it, it's okay, after reading the book, he rarely goes out after being in the imperial city of Yanfu for so long, and after Yan Xiao followed his ancestor Yanxuan out for half a year, he didn't go out once, just like a deep lady. So, he said goodbye to Old Butler Zhou, took the book back to his residence, and then turned around and walked towards the gate of Yanfu.

The guards guarding the gate looked at Bai Yujing who came out of it, and thought for a long time, but he didn't think of which young master in the Yan Mansion was, until Bai Yujing followed the guards to say hello, it turned out that this was the scholar of the young master Yan Xiao, the son of the mansion master. Although they have heard Bai Yujing's name, they have never seen it, which shows how much Bai Yujing looks like a mansion.
