The maidservant beside them was surprised to see the two of them playing around as if no one was around. You know, the young master rarely gets so close to others.
It seems that Han Xiao's family conditions are not very good. Can he really raise a young master well? Thinking of this, the maid couldn't help but look worried, fearing that her young master would be deceived.
Nowadays, there are more and more men who live off their wives.
Han Xiao didn't know what the little maid was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't take it seriously. He was now completely focused on the young master.
I just hope his father can understand what he means. We will not withdraw from this relationship.
I really didn't expect to be slapped in the face so quickly. Han Xiao is really good.
But the young master is good-looking and has a good personality, so she should be my wife.
It was still a bit cold outside, and Han Xiao didn't think the plum blossoms were that beautiful, but the young master liked him so he stayed with him, and the two of them talked and got to know each other better.
Han Xiao was having fun teasing the young master when someone came from the main hall and said that Master Ruan wanted them to stay for dinner.
Seeing that it was getting late, I followed the young master to the dining room. Along the way, the young master continued to ask excitedly, "Is there really a lot of fun things outside?"
Han Xiao tightened the cloak around the young master and said, "Well, I'll take you out to play when the weather gets warmer. When spring comes, we can go fly kites, okay?"
The young master just nodded happily. His parents didn't take him to play at home, saying that it was too dangerous outside and there were a lot of bad people. But Ruan Zhu felt that the outside world was not that scary. At least Brother Han Xiao was not scary at all.
He also knew a lot of stories and interesting places, and the young master was looking forward to flying kites next spring.
Han Mingyuan had a pleasant conversation with Mr. Ruan in the dining room. Although Mr. Ruan was a businessman, he had great respect for scholars, and there was no trace of the mercenary stink in his words.
Seeing Han Xiao and Ruan Zhu come in, the two elders smiled at each other. It seemed that this marriage could basically be put on the agenda.
When Han Xiao came in, most of the food had been served. Not only Han Mingyuan and Mr. Ruan were at the table, but there was also a middle-aged man with a handsome face and elegant temperament. When he saw Ruan Zhu and Han Xiao, he greeted them with a kind face to sit down.
Han Xiao sat next to Ruan Zhu tacitly, secretly observing what dishes the young master liked to eat, and occasionally picking up some food for him. Han Mingyuan was speechless looking at his son's worthless appearance.
He had never seen Han Xiao so attentive to someone before, which gave him some of the youthful innocence of a teenager.
Han Xiao sat down and greeted Mr. Ruan and Mrs. Ruan, who were his future mother-in-law and father-in-law.
Mrs. Ruan was quite satisfied with Han Xiao. He was handsome and could barely match her precious son, but she heard that his family was a little poor.
But it doesn’t matter if they are poor, because their family is rich and will definitely not let Ruanruan suffer.
The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests. After the meal, Han Xiao said goodbye to the young master reluctantly. Adults have their own things to do, and now Han Xiao just wanted to coax the young master and bring him home as soon as possible.
But speaking of this, Han Xiao felt that he was still too poor. Although he had a stable income now, it was just a drop in the bucket for the Ruan family.
Since I want to live with the young master in the future, I have to ensure that his quality of life after marriage will not decline, and may even be better than when he was in the Ruan family.
Han Xiao has always been a man with his own ideas. Since he has decided to marry the young master, he will work hard in this direction. Han Mingyuan is going to take the imperial examination and may pursue a career in politics in the future. He cannot help Han Xiao much with money, but he can ensure that he can live a relatively smooth life in this era.
Now the goal is very clear, first, to ensure that Han Mingyuan passes the imperial examination normally, preferably in one go, and second, to make good money to support his wife.
Now that the breakfast shop is stable and Dashan and Dahe are doing well, I can free up my hands to do other things.
In ancient times, if you wanted to make money quickly, even if Han Xiao didn't read time-travel novels in modern times, he would know that salt was strictly controlled by the government.
Salt is a piece of cake for Han Xiao, but he has no background at the moment, so even if he can extract refined salt, it will probably not end well.
Apart from salt, the next thing is sugar. The method of making sugar is not difficult for a science student, but the raw materials are difficult.
It seems that I have to go to Yipintang.
After returning home, Han Xiao became busy again, getting up early and wandering around late every day.
But Han Xiao was not really just wandering around. He needed to learn more about the information of this era and buy some small gadgets for the young master.
As the year-end approached, the Han family closed the breakfast shop. After paying Dashan and Dahe their wages, they let them go home and rest.
That day, Han Xiao was about to go out when his mother called him: "Da Lang, are you going to the Ruan family?"
Han Xiao glanced at the sky outside and replied, "Yes, I'm going to see Ruanruan and give him something."
As he said this, he showed the things in his hand to Han's mother. They were not expensive things, but basically some small gadgets made by Han Xiao himself. They were obviously for children to play with.
Mother Han also laughed when she saw this. She took the pastries from the kitchen and handed them to Han Xiao: "This is the glutinous rice balls you mentioned before. I made a few flavors. You can give them to Ruanruan too. I think Yu'er likes them very much. I think Ruanruan will like them too."
Han Xiao was surprised. He had only mentioned Tangyuan before, but he didn't expect his mother to actually make it. When he opened the box, it was white and plump and very cute. "Mom, when did you make it? I haven't eaten it yet."
"I've been saying that for the past few days, you haven't been home much, so you can't eat even if you want to," Han's mother said unhappily.
Han Xiao could only touch his nose and did not refute that he had indeed rarely eaten at home during this period, mainly because he wanted to find raw materials for making sugar.
Seeing that Han's mother was still nagging, Han Xiao quickly closed the lid and ran out of the house. Han's mother, who was left behind, was so angry that she laughed at her son.
Han Xiao wandered around as the town became more and more lively as the New Year approached. He thought it would be a good idea to bring the young master out to see the town.
He bought some pastries on the way and came to the door of the Ruan family. The servant guarding the door of the Ruan family was already very familiar with Han Xiao.
Seeing Han Xiao coming over with something, he smiled and greeted him: "Mr. Han, you're here early today. Come in quickly. Our young master has been waiting for you for a long time."
Han Xiao quickened his pace upon hearing this, and passed a packet of pastries to the servants as he passed by: "These are for you. You've worked hard in this cold weather. They're still warm when I bought them on the road."
The servant was not polite to Han Xiao. After all, Han Xiao would bring them some food every time he came, and the steward didn't say anything about accepting Han Xiao's things.
Soon after entering the door, Han Xiao saw the young master jogging towards him. Today, the young master was wearing a light yellow jacket with a furry collar, and he looked very cute.
Seeing Han Xiao coming in, the young master's eyes brightened up again and he said in a sweet voice, "Brother Han Xiao, why did you come just now?"
