On the morning of the second day, just as Bai He had expected, the genius was still in the light when he heard her call out to him.
Bai He opened her eyes and stood up in a bit of a daze. When she opened the door, she saw Song Yujie dressed neatly, and dressed in a brocade robe that accentuated his long, jade-like figure.
Bai He rubbed her eyes, her tone was also a little misty from just waking up, "Why are you guys so early?"
"Miss Bai He, quickly change your clothes. We are going on our way." Old Ding said from the side.
Song Yujie nodded as well and said, "If you are tired, you can rest in the carriage."
Hearing him speak like that, Bai He nodded his head in confusion, then turned around.
"Second Young Master, should we wait on the carriage?" Seeing that his second young master was being ignored, Old Ding quickly asked.
Song Yujie wanted to reply, but he saw Bai He suddenly coming out again, still with her messy hair and wrinkled clothes.
"You guys can do it inside." After walking a few steps, Bai He who was still able to divert some of her attention to the guest, floated back in.
Old Ding nodded, looked at his young master, and said: "Young master, are we going in?"
Song Yujie nodded, then opened the fence door and walked in. It was a simple row of tiled buildings, and it looked relatively new. There were two rooms, a hall, a firewood room and a kitchen. It also looked quite narrow.
Bai He entered a room and had them wait inside.
There was a table and two stools in the living room, but the rest was gone.
Old Ding went in and sighed repeatedly, "Second Young Master, so Lady Bai He was actually so poor. No wonder she still needed to work hard to earn money."
Song Yujie didn't think anything of it. It was just the walls of a household, but the surroundings were completely clean. It showed that although Bai He was poor, she wasn't lazy to do it.
Bai He changed his clothes, walked to the jar, scooped up a spoonful of cold water and washed his face with the water, then walked into the hall.
"Sorry, there's really nothing here. There isn't even boiling water so I can only let you sit there." After washing his face in cold water, Bai He, who was finally awake, spoke in a organized manner.
Song Yujie shook his head. "I'm not thirsty."
"Bai Shi should be awake by now. I'll go call him." Bai He looked at Song Yujie and asked, "Can you guys wait here for a while?"
Although it was not good for them to make others wait, when she looked at the bright sky, she felt that they had truly left.
She had no choice but to come over with a lantern.
However, it also indirectly meant that the place that they were going to today should be rather far away.
"Yes." Song Yujie did not mind.
Bai He then walked to the other room, knocked on the door, heard a response from inside, and became relieved.
"Second Young Master." Old Ding saw Bai He walk towards another room and immediately became suspicious.
Song Yujie shook his head, indicating that he should not say anything.
Old Ding also knew what to say and what not to say.
Bai He quickly came over, Bai Shi had also taken care of everything properly.
"Today, I will first ask you to prepare a few dishes before going to see the owner. Do you have any doubts?" Song Yujie looked at Bai He and told her some of the arrangements for today.
Hearing that, Bai He immediately shook his head, and said: "En, I think it's fine."
After all, going to the manor would delay them for a while, and she wasn't sure if they would be able to make the food in time, so she felt that it was normal for Song Yujie to make such arrangements.
Besides, the other party had already helped him with so many things. He couldn't possibly place himself at the centre of it all.
Thinking of this, she had no more requests for these matters.
Seeing that they were ready, Bai He followed Bai Shi and the others up the carriage.
The carriage this time was much more spacious than the previous day, Bai He knew after entering, that it was probably prepared separately for them to be able to get on it.
She could not help but have a whole new level of respect for such a meticulous Song Yujie.
The three of them sat in the spacious carriage, Bai Shi and Bai He sat at the side, and the distance between them was already close in one direction.
Bai Shi looked at Song Yujie, his eyes carrying a bit of conflict and rejection. It was clear that he did not like this person.
Song Yujie, however, didn't care about his gaze as all of his gazes rested on Bai He. He looked at her and asked: "I wonder when will your shop be open?" He had promised to provide her with a shop, but it had been quite some time since he had heard her say anything.
Now that there was such a rare opportunity, he definitely had to ask.
When Bai He heard his question, she said, "Actually, I already had some ideas a long time ago. It's just that I haven't realized it due to some other reasons." Even though it was a shop, she wasn't sure.
Therefore, he could only put it on the ground for now.
However, it was not going to last long. The weather was getting colder and colder. If they could not find a suitable place to eat, more than half of the customers would melt.
Coincidentally, she was also thinking of putting the stall aside.
"In a while, I will definitely come looking for you." It was more important to deal with the matter of the ingredients first. When she talked about this, Bai He was even a little helpless in his heart. He clearly had so many ingredients in his spatial space, but he didn't dare to take them out at all.
Bai He looked at Song Yujie and said: "Oh right, there's one more thing that I need to cook for you today."
Song Yujie looked at her and said, "If there is a problem with the ingredients, I will have my people quickly prepare them."
Bai He shook her head and said: "Not only that, since this is a dish I cooked, I naturally have to use it as a special dish, of course the price would have to be higher." If it was too cheap, it would make people treasure it.
Song Yujie didn't have any meaning in this either. He looked at Bai He and said, "Do whatever you want."
Regarding his cooperation, Bai He was naturally happy. After thinking for a moment, he said: "Do you have pen and paper?"
Song Yujie nodded his head and took it out from under his seat. As he spoke, he said, "Normally, I would also flip through the account books in the carriage. Today, however, they have come in handy."
Bai He took it and placed it on the table that held the dim sum in the middle of the carriage, and said: "Mn, I have already decided on these dishes, meat ball, spicy meat, boiled meat, and ants up the tree."
The method of cooking these dishes was relatively simple. It would not take too much time, and the diced meat and slices of meat were very appetizing dishes. They were definitely not bad either. As for the ant climbing up the tree, it was only to show her ability.
Although the cooks were good, she felt that her skills were good, but how could they be different from hers? These special dishes would come in handy.
When Song Yujie heard the name of the dish, he was slightly surprised. However, he did not inquire any further and nodded his head, saying that he would definitely get someone to prepare the ingredients.
Bai He took out the piece of paper, and looked towards Bai Shi: "Come, write the names of the dishes I reported earlier on."
Bai Shi looked at her, and without asking further, he nodded and started writing with the brush. The words were still as powerful as before, and it looked especially good.
Bai He saw that he was done writing so fluently, so she did not put it to the side. Instead, she picked up a brush and started to draw some lace on the side.
Song Yujie looked at that curvy figure and was somewhat puzzled. He asked, "What is this drawing method?"
"This, ah, it's just something I think is very simple, there's no need to hang your teeth." Bai He was unwilling to say more, because even if he did, the other party wouldn't be able to understand his words.
Song Yujie nodded and did not ask any further questions. Seeing that she had finished drying the ink, he did not say anything else.
Bai He made all these preparations and felt sleepy. He leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes.
She really wasn't suitable to get up too early.
The carriage swayed, but she was quite sleepy, so it was easy for her to fall asleep.
His body swayed along with the carriage.
Seeing her confused appearance, Song Yujie looked at Bai Shi and said, "Let's switch."
"No." Bai Shi said as he placed Bai He's head on his shoulder.
With such contact, Bai He didn't seem to be shaking anymore. She smacked her lips and continued to sleep.
"She doesn't like you." Song Yujie suddenly said.
Bai Shi looked at him, but did not respond.
Song Yujie pulled his sleeves, lowered his eyebrows and spoke, "This morning, I already knew that you two were husband and wife, yet you both slept soundly. It is hard not to suspect that there is something behind this.
Bai Shi frowned, it was clear that the other party was right. Bai He still had not accepted him, so it was impossible for them to sleep together.
When Song Yujie saw that he did not answer, he became even more certain of it. He smiled and said, "Previously, Bai He did not know many people and was randomly married into a woman. Now that she has her own thoughts, I hope you will not stop her."
Bai Shi looked at him coldly, and said: "So what? She is still my wife."
"It is not a gentleman's thing for you to only care for yourself like this." A trace of anger flashed across Song Yujie's face, as if he was angry and resentful because of such a stubborn thought on Bai Shi's part.
Bai Shi actually looked at him calmly, and said: "Even so, Bai He will not fall for you." In truth, his intentions were already made clear to everyone. Although Bai He could not tell, he could actually see through it.
Song Yujie laughed. "It seems that you have misunderstood me. I have only treated Bai He as a companion, and have not had any presumptuous thoughts about him."
Bai Shi did not answer, but on the surface he did not comment.
When Song Yujie saw him in such a state, he said, "Presumably, you are doing this for Bai He's own good as well. If she truly has someone she likes, I hope that you can let go." Right now, he only felt that Bai He was a very smart and beautiful girl, so he did not think too much about it.
He had helped because of her intelligence and her rare self-reliance as a woman.
Bai Shi looked at him and said seriously: "Even so, I will not let Bai He leave my side. She is my wife, and she has never changed.
When Song Yujie saw that he was actually so stubborn, his anger surged for a moment. The carriage emitted a loud noise, and cracks appeared on the bench.
"Do your best." Song Yujie said.
Bai Shi looked at the horse carriage that already had traces of damage on it, and then patted Bai He who was just as alarmed as before, gently. Seeing that she had fallen asleep quietly, he continued to wait quietly.
