Chapter 442: Snow on the Desk of the Infatuated Alliance Leader (44)
Shisuiyuan.
It was late at night, but the rain didn't stop.
Bai Chao leaned against the edge of the pool, drank the last glass of wine, and stood up from the hot spring.
He grabbed the plain cloth draped over the screen and casually wrapped it around his waist.
Bai Chao walked barefoot on the smooth ground and slowly took down the underwear that the servant had placed on the hanger.
He untied his underwear and suddenly touched his stomach: "Hmm... a little hungry."
Bai Chao thought about it and yawned again: "Forget it, it saves the trouble."
He changed his underwear and didn't care about his long wet hair hanging behind him.
Jing Hengzhou frowned.
Why don't you call the servants to serve you?
I have seen three servants wiping this man's hair carefully before. Now his hair is wet and blown by the cold wind. Wouldn't he get a headache?
Jing Hengzhou was silent for a while and quietly closed the window.
Bai Chao walked out of the ear room with the Snow Soul Pearl. Because his hair was still wet, he didn't want to fall asleep now, so he opened the window outside, leaned on the bamboo couch, listened to the sound of rain with his eyes closed, and gradually felt sleepy.
Just after a while, a slight sound suddenly came from the house.
Bai Chao woke up suddenly.
He sat up straight and looked around, but there was nothing unusual in the room.
The window next to it seemed to be closed by the wind.
Bai Chao stood up lazily, his hair was almost dry.
Bai Chao walked towards the inner room and just as he reached the table, he found a bowl of steaming noodle soup on the table, as if it had just been placed there not long ago.
"..."
Bai Chao sat down, picked up a noodle, and raised the corners of his mouth.
"Hmph, pretty smart."
"..."
Jing Hengzhou leaned against the beam, looked at the people eating noodles defenselessly below, and smiled helplessly.
I thought this person wouldn't eat it.
Maybe he thought this bowl of noodles was made by a servant.
……
Day two.
Bai Chao slept until noon.
He opened his eyes, stared at the roof for a while, then slowly sat up.
"Someone is coming..."
Bai Chao paused, touched his neck, cleared his throat, and called out again.
"Someone is coming."
"Yes."
The servant heard the sound and pushed the door open.
"Young Master."
"Change for me."
"Yes." The servant felt that Bai Chao's voice was a little hoarse, "Young Master, your voice..."
Bai Chao got off the bed and said nonchalantly, "It's okay."
"Yes……"
When the servant helped Bai Chao put on his clothes, he heard Bai Chao cough lightly a few times.
The servant hesitated for a long time, but finally persuaded: "Young Master, did you catch a cold last night? I will ask the doctor to come and see you now."
"No need."
"But……"
Bai Chao walked to the window and pushed it open.
"You can't get out, and the doctor can't get in."
The servant was startled: "What? How could it be, didn't the young lady say before..."
Bai Chao glanced out the window.
"There are a group of people guarding the door. It seems that the owner of the manor is determined to make me reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors."
"Young Master..."
The servants didn't understand why the owner of the manor was so harsh on the young master.
It's just house arrest, why is it so serious? I'm in my own home, but it feels like being in prison...
However, fortunately, there will be no shortage of food in Zhishuiyuan.
"I'll ask the kitchen to make some chicken soup to moisten your lungs, shall I?"
Fortunately, the young master only has a hoarse throat due to a cold and has not caught a more serious cold. He should feel better soon after nourishing his body with chicken soup.
Bai Chao lazily sat on the bamboo couch: "Don't worry, bring the breakfast up first."
"Yes."
Jing Hengzhou quietly watched Bai Chao take out the night pearl and play with it.
This person seemed not to care, but his eyes and eyebrows could not hide his annoyance.
However, being locked up for two days had already made this person a little upset.
It's really hard to be confined like this for three months...
"..."
Bai Chao had a simple breakfast and didn't eat anymore.
He walked around the yard twice, played with the little bird in the cage for a while, and finally returned to the room and took out the Snow Soul Pearl to play with it.
Bai Chao poked the Snow Soul Pearl out of boredom for a while, then suddenly thought of something, got up and ran to the inner room.
He stopped in the corner, reached out and turned the vase against the wall, and then the wardrobe automatically flipped open a door.
Jing Hengzhou paused, he knew what was behind the door.
There was a basement there, filled with all kinds of rare treasures that this man had privately collected.
Bai Chao lit a lamp and leisurely stepped into his own private treasure house.
Jing Hengzhou followed Bai Chao until they stopped at a half-open door with light coming out from inside.
In addition to the light from the lamps, there is also the light reflected by the treasures.
Jing Hengzhou looked at the people inside.
Bai Chao took out these things one by one to admire them, and then wiped them one by one with a handkerchief.
Jing Hengzhou turned his gaze to the treasures piled up next to Bai Chao.
Without exception, they are all shiny objects.
"..."
Jing Hengzhou confirmed his previous guess.
This person just likes these kinds of shiny and bright things, and the preciousness and rarity of the treasure should be placed second.
But Jing Hengzhou felt a little dissatisfied with himself.
Why didn't he notice this when he checked here before?
The man actually guessed this person's preference first...
Bai Chao sat among a pile of treasures, and it was obvious that his mood had improved a lot.
He hummed a little tune and took out a string of bracelets from a box. He looked at them for a while, then picked out two thinner bracelets and put them on, then shook his wrists in the candlelight.
The gold bracelet is inlaid with colorful gems, making a crisp sound when it collides against the slender wrist.
There was only one candle in the basement, but the gold, silver and jewelry all over the floor made the dim basement brighter than daytime.
Jing Hengzhou leaned against the door, looking at the person sitting inside happily playing with jewelry, a gentle smile in his eyes.
……
Bai Chao played until noon before leaving the basement.
Lunch is ready.
Bai Chao sat down, and the servant came forward: "Young Master, would you like to drink the soup first?"
In the center of the table was the stewed chicken soup.
Bai Chao glanced at the chicken soup and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"can."
The servant used a spoon to wipe off the floating oil on the soup and served a bowl of chicken soup.
Bai Chao suddenly asked: "What is this?"
The servant was stunned and looked at the place where Bai Chao was pointing.
"Ugh?"
The servant then noticed that there were other things hidden under the chicken in the soup. He scooped the soup spoon into the soup and suddenly sweat broke out on his forehead.
Why is there something else in this soup?
Dried longan, astragalus, lily...there are other Chinese medicines?
He clearly asked the kitchen to cook some clear chicken soup, so why did they add so many things to it?
Although these things are good for the human body, the young master never likes to drink this kind of soup with mixed flavors. He will get angry if he takes a sip.
He had reminded the small kitchen long ago that adding ginger slices to remove the fishy smell would be enough, so how could the people in the small kitchen do their job? Did they mishear?
The servant hurriedly said, "Young Master, I will ask the kitchen to redo it right away."
But Bai Chao picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup.
"It tastes okay, let's leave it alone for now."
The servant was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Yes..."
"You go down first."
"Yes."
The servant lowered his head and left the room, thinking that it seemed that the small kitchen had rarely cooked to the master's liking today, so he decided not to hold him accountable for now.
