Han Xiao poured a cup of hot tea for his mother: "Mom, you should go out more often and don't stay at home with my dad all day. The world outside is so beautiful, don't you think?"

The young master was looking at the menu seriously. When he heard Han Xiao calling him, he immediately raised his head and replied, "That's right, Mom, next time we will come together, without husband and dad."

Han's mother was no longer nervous after the two of them joined in the fun. She looked around the lobby and said, "There are too many people here, and there are so many people queuing. We didn't queue up just now, so we should be fine."

"No, mom, don't worry. After all, this building belongs to Uncle Lu, so he has to give him some face." Han Xiao said indifferently.

"We can't bother your Uncle Lu every day. Look how much he has helped us." Han's mother was afraid that Han Xiao and his son would owe favors to others. Although she was an uneducated woman, she still knew a little about human relationships.

Han Xiao didn't expect that his mother would consider so much, but he didn't tell her about his business with the Lu family in detail.

Han Xiao has put in a lot of effort to make Yipin Lou reach this level. Otherwise, Yipin Lou would just be a symbol of the Lu family. Although there would be many people coming and going to eat, it would definitely not reach the current level.

However, the relationship is too complicated, and Han Xiao is not prepared to explain it to his mother.

The three of them were chatting when the waiter quickly brought the pot. The young master stared at the copper pot.

He has been craving hotpot for a long time, but he was not allowed to eat it on the first day of the new year.

He must eat his fill today.

Seeing the young master's expression, Han Xiao knew what he was thinking.

He turned the copper pot around. The table was round, so Han Xiao turned the bone soup pot directly in front of the young master.

The young master stared at Han Xiao with eyes wide open, why... why wouldn't he be allowed to eat the spicy hot pot!!!

"You've been feeling hot lately, so why not try the bone soup pot like Yu'er?"

The young master put down his chopsticks and stood up, wanting to argue with Han Xiao: "No, I want spicy food."

Mother Han was also a little embarrassed. She looked at the young master and then at Han Xiao. She didn't know who to persuade.

"How about giving Ruanruan some? A little bit should be okay, right?" Han's mother looked at Han Xiao uncertainly and said.

Han Xiao thought for a moment and called the waiter: "Waiter, please bring a bowl of warm water over."

The waiter was stunned. Although he didn't understand Han Xiao's intention, he quickly brought over a bowl of warm water and said, "Mr. Han, here you are."

Han Xiao put the warm water next to the young master: "Okay, you can eat spicy hot pot, but you have to rinse it in warm water."

Although the young master was still somewhat reluctant, he also knew that this was Han Xiao's bottom line.

But the good news is that the bone soup pot tastes pretty good, and the young master's mouth is full of oil while eating it.

Xiao Yu'er was still sick so she could only eat bone soup pot. Han Xiao felt relieved that his mother was watching over him.

Just as they were enjoying their meal, a group of playboys from the capital came to the table behind them.

"I was wondering if it's finally our turn. It's really hard to wait for this kind of room." One of the young men in blue clothes sighed.

"Who said it wasn't? Last time my dad came, I didn't get a spot. Luckily, I came early today. Hey, Shao Kang, why did you think of inviting us to Yipinlou?"

Everyone here knows that Zhang Shaokang is a member of the Zhang family and is at odds with the Lu family.

Zhang Shaokang's face looked a little ugly, and it was unclear whether it was because he was freezing outside or for some other reason. When someone asked him this, he said nonchalantly, "Nothing, I just heard that the hot pot here is delicious, so I thought we brothers should come and try it together."

These young men were sitting right next to Han Xiao and the others. Zhang Shaokang sat right behind Han Xiao, with the two of them sitting back to back.

At first, Han Xiao just felt that the voice of "Shao Kang" sounded familiar. Unexpectedly, the young master, who was eating so hard that he couldn't even lift his head, poked Han Xiao with his chopsticks, signaling him to look back.

Han Xiao glanced back but could only see Zhang Shaokang's back. The young master had no choice but to stand up and whisper in Han Xiao's ear: "Husband, look at that man just now. He's the one we met on our first day in the capital."

Did you meet him on your first day in Beijing? Han Xiao thought about it for a while before he could identify this person.

Oh, so he was the country bumpkin kid who later spoke rudely and was taught a lesson by Xing Yi and Shiwu.

I didn't expect to meet him here today. I heard from his companions that this Mr. "Shao Kang" is quite an important person.

However, no matter how prominent their background was, it had nothing to do with Han Xiao. If they were really powerful and influential, they would have gone to their house when they were being beaten.

Han Xiao patted the young master's head and told him to eat well and not pay attention to these irrelevant people.

The following topic continued, so Han Xiao stopped listening.

However, when it came to matters at the border, Han Xiao frowned.

He deliberately avoided all matters of the court, and therefore did not care about them.

Han Xiao pricked up his ears when he heard that General Huo Cheng, who was guarding the border, was going back to the capital.

Han Xiao had heard a little about this General Huo, and what he heard most was how great General Huo was at fighting and how he was a master of military strategy.

However, there was one thing that Han Xiao was particularly concerned about, and that was what Mrs. Ruan had said before, that Su Guijun was engaged to General Huo.

Su Guijun, General Huo, and the current emperor grew up together. It's a cliché love triangle, but the ending is not perfect.

General Huo requested to be transferred from Kyoto to the border as soon as Su Guijun entered the palace, and Su Guijun was trapped in the magnificent palace.

The only one who got what he wanted was probably the current emperor.

The things of the previous generation were hard to explain, and Han Xiao didn't want to know the grudges between the three of them. What made Han Xiao think more was why General Huo came back now.

Is there some problem at the border?

Han Xiao tried hard to search his mind for information about the border, but he knew too little information, so he had to give up.

Taking a look at the young master who was eating happily, Han Xiao picked up a piece of beef and put it in his bowl, letting Chu Jinglin worry about these things.

Since the news has already been spread, it means that Chu Jinglin already knows about it. It shouldn’t be a big deal if Chu Jinglin didn’t say it.

Now is the critical moment of establishing a crown prince, and any small thing may affect the entire situation.

"Husband, I want some more noodles." The young master said to Han Xiao as he looked at the dish that he had almost finished.

"Okay, then wait for me and I'll find the waiter." Han Xiao looked around and it was peak meal time.

The waiter was so busy that Han Xiao simply prepared to go to the kitchen to get it himself.

As he stood up, Zhang Shaokang at the next table subconsciously looked back.
