After discussing the bookstore matters, Han Xiao returned home. A lot of things had happened recently, and he always felt a lot of pressure.
Although he is a hands-off boss, there are still some things that require him to step in.
After the New Year, the weather gradually improved. As the Lantern Festival was approaching, Han's mother wanted Han Xiao to bring the young master back to see her.
Mother Han had wanted to meet the young master for a long time, but she had always felt a little restrained in front of the Ruan family. Before the New Year, Han Xiao asked his mother to go with him, but she felt embarrassed and did not go.
Now that his son's marriage to the young master has been confirmed, it's reasonable for him to meet him.
Han Xiao knew that his mother was a little timid, so he didn't force her. Things like this should just be left to nature. He also believed that his mother would like the young master. After all, the young master was so cute and sensible.
Ruan Xiuran's bookstore was gradually getting on the right track. Just as Ruan Xiuran expected, the storybook had just been put on the shelves, and with the strong promotion of the shopkeeper, someone bought a copy with the attitude of giving it a try.
He couldn't stop buying and urged the shopkeeper to publish the second volume as soon as possible.
For a time, all the students in Qingping Town were discussing the story of Journey to the West, and even some storytellers in teahouses were telling it, and the entire teahouse was packed with people.
After all, only a small number of people can read and write, and most people can only understand the direction of the story from the storyteller.
As for the method of hot stamping, Han Xiao has already given it to Ruan Xiuran. It depends on whether Ruan Xiuran can find someone to do it. If he can, it would be best. If he can't, it doesn't matter. It makes no difference to Han Xiao.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival.
Han Xiao dressed himself up early in the morning and even put on the new clothes his mother made for him, which he didn't wear during the Chinese New Year.
Han's mother sorted out Han Xiao's clothes, with great satisfaction in her eyes. Her son looked dignified and extraordinary in the clothes she made.
The more Han's mother looked at him, the more satisfied she became, nodding her head in satisfaction: "Da Lang has grown up and become more and more handsome."
Han Xiao heard this and retorted helplessly: "Mom told me not to call you Dalang anymore, it's awkward."
Han Xiao told his mother privately several times that he refused to be called Dalang, as this name always reminded him of some bad scenes.
"Okay, okay, I get it. Isn't it just something that comes to mind? I haven't changed it yet." Han's mother was not angry. She could still do this small request of her son.
"What's wrong with Dalang? Isn't that how everyone calls their eldest son?" Han Mingyuan also changed his clothes and walked out from the inner room. He heard the conversation between the mother and son and interrupted.
Han Xiao secretly rolled his eyes: "Nothing, I just feel that I'm getting married soon, and calling me Dalang again will make me lose face."
"You little bastard, even if you get married you are still my son." Han Mingyuan narrowed his eyes and scolded with a smile.
Han's mother watched the father and son bickering with a gentle expression. She really never thought that she would live such a good life.
"Okay, okay, you two stop bickering. We still have to go to Ruan's house later. Do you think it's okay for me to wear this?" Han's mother pulled at her clothes and said a little awkwardly.
This was the first time that Han's mother went to the Ruan family. She used to be an ordinary peasant woman in the countryside. She was really a little timid when she was suddenly asked to meet the powerful people in the town. Otherwise, she would not have kept delaying her visit to the Ruan family until now.
Fortunately, the Ruan family knew about the Han family's situation and didn't care, but the young master still asked Han Xiao to bring a gift to Han's mother.
Han Mingyuan looked at his wife's outfit today and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, Chunniang. The Ruan family is very well behaved, and Ruanruan is also very sensible. Just act like usual."
Today, Han's mother was invited to visit the Ruan family. It was also the first time for her to experience such an occasion. After hearing her husband's comfort, she felt better.
Han Xiao saw his parents showing their affection again, and he only regretted that they had not yet married the young master home.
"Mother, you're afraid when you say we're going to visit our in-laws. If Dad passes the imperial examination, you can even become a royal consort."
After hearing this, Han's mother blushed and said, "What are you talking about, kid? If others hear it, they will laugh at you."
Han Mingyuan also saw Han Xiao talking nonsense and felt like spanking his son.
Unfortunately, Han Xiao didn't give him this opportunity. He picked up the two little ones who were still playing in the yard and ran out the door.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to Ruan's house to look for Ruan first. You guys hurry up."
The two little ones were held in Han Xiao's arms with confused looks on their faces. Why did their big brother suddenly take them running?
Han Yu'er didn't think too much. Seeing her brother holding her, she immediately put her arms around Han Xiao's neck and said, "Brother, where are we going?"
Han Xiao held one in each hand and could only rub his head against Han Yuer: "Take Yuer to see a handsome brother, okay?"
"Handsome brother?" The two little ones are twins, their questioning tone is exactly the same.
"Yes, he's a handsome brother. He will come to live with us in the future. Yu'er and Que'er can play with him then, okay?"
"Okay, Yu'er, give the toy to your handsome brother to play with." Han Yu'er said crisply.
"And me, and me too. I can take my handsome brother to rob bird nests." Han Que was not to be outdone.
Then the two little ones started arguing about playing with toys and digging bird nests.
Han Xiao thought that the young master didn't want to play in the mud or rob bird nests.
Listening to the two little ones' childish chatter, Han Xiao walked very fast and arrived at the gate of Ruan's house before dusk. He could see the young master and Ruan Xiuran standing in front of the door from a distance.
Ruan Xiuran was still talking to the young master, but the young master turned around and didn't want to pay attention to him.
Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled and shook his head, then said to the two little ones who were still arguing, "Yu'er, Que'er, did you see that? That's the handsome brother. You must say hello to him later."
The two little ones nodded to indicate that it was no problem. Han Xiao put them down and moved his arms. Although they were still young, they had not put down their arms during the entire journey from home to here, so their arms were still a little sore.
The young master also saw Han Xiao coming and his eyes suddenly lit up. He stopped playing with Ruan Xiuran and immediately wanted to run to Han Xiao.
But when he saw that Han Xiao was bringing two little kids with him, he stopped again.
"Brother Han Xiao, you're here." The young master raised his little face.
The two little ones had been reminded by Han Xiao on the way that he was a handsome brother. When they saw the young master in person, they looked at each other and shouted in unison: "Hello, handsome brother."
The young master's cheeks immediately turned red when he was called this, and he looked at Han Xiao in panic.
Han Xiao took the young master's hand and said, "These are my two younger brothers. I'll take care of them for a while today during the Lantern Festival. I'll give them to my parents when they come."
The young master nudged Han Xiao with his elbow and said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you say that about my brother?"
Then he squatted down and faced the two little ones and said softly, "Hello, just call me Brother Ruanruan."
Seeing that the two little ones were so cute, the young master also liked them.
