Mr. Qinghe was very surprised. He didn't expect Han Xiao to have so many ingenious recipes. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Where did you get all these recipes?"
Han Xiao paused for a moment as he picked up the food, but he still gave the reason he had already prepared: "That beggar also gave it to me, but I wrote down the recipe."
Mr. Qinghe was skeptical, but seeing that Han Xiao didn't want to say more, he didn't ask any further questions.
Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much. The children who followed Mr. Qinghe reminded him not to eat too much, which shows how much Mr. Qinghe enjoyed it.
Mr. Qinghe put down his chopsticks in a sullen manner: "Alas, I am old now, and I am not as good as you young people who can eat and drink."
Han Mingyuan heard the little boy mean that Mr. Qinghe's health was not very good, and he was a little worried: "Teacher, then you should listen to the doctor. If you really like it, come and see him often."
Han Xiao also continued, "If you really like it, I can copy a recipe for you."
"Really?" Mr. Qinghe didn't expect that Han Xiao would actually give him the recipe.
"Yes, you are my father's teacher and also my elder. Please don't refuse a gift from a younger generation to an elder." Han Xiao's words touched Mr. Qinghe's heart.
He wanted to get close to Han Mingyuan, but Han Mingyuan couldn't bear to take advantage of Mr. Qinghe's favorable conditions.
"Okay, since you said so, I will accept it shamelessly." Mr. Qinghe smiled. He didn't expect to have such a gain today.
Moreover, Han Xiao’s recipes were very much to his liking, and they were mostly light, so it didn’t matter if he ate more.
"Yes, sir. Please let the child go with me to get it later." Han Xiao was very respectful and treated Mr. Qinghe as his elder.
"Don't call me sir, it's so formal. Just call me grandpa from now on." The little boy widened his eyes behind Mr. Qinghe and looked at Han Xiao. He didn't know what magic the Han family had that made Mr. Qinghe so fond of them. This call of grandpa completely put the Han family under the wing of Mr. Qinghe. If anyone was careless and offended the Han family in the future, it would basically be equivalent to offending Mr. Qinghe.
Han Mingyuan's expression also changed drastically: "Teacher, this..."
Mr. Qinghe waved his hands impatiently: "Mingyuan, I just don't like this about you. I'm your teacher, isn't it enough for your son to call me grandpa?"
"Mingyuan doesn't dare." Han Mingyuan knelt down immediately.
Seeing this, Han Xiao poured a cup of hot tea and knelt in front of Mr. Qinghe with Han Mingyuan: "Grandpa, have some tea."
After drinking this cup of tea, there will be no way to deny it in the future. Han Xiao lowered his head and raised the corners of his mouth. Mr. Qinghe obviously liked Han Mingyuan very much, and he loved him as much as he loved his family.
"Good...good boy." Mr. Qinghe took the teacup, took a sip, and then helped the two of them up. He had accepted this grandson.
Han Xiao achieved his goal, and then left Han Mingyuan to talk to Mr. Qinghe, and took the child to the study to rewrite a recipe. Fortunately, Han Xiao was also a foodie in his previous life, and he remembered recipes quite clearly, so Han Xiao basically wrote some things suitable for the elderly, and added some familiar medicinal foods.
Regardless of whether Mr. Qinghe eats it or not, his kindness is appreciated. Moreover, they are now in the same boat with Mr. Qinghe. Han Xiao also sincerely hopes that Mr. Qinghe will be in good health so that his umbrella of protection will not fall.
He copied the recipe and handed it to the child, then told him some precautions. The child listened carefully and borrowed paper and pen from Han Xiao to copy down the important parts one by one.
Han Xiao looked at it in surprise. He didn't expect that Mr. Qinghe's children were so organized.
After Mr. Qinghe went back, the Han family returned to peace. Han Mingyuan still stayed indoors. The arrival of Mr. Qinghe put a lot of pressure on him. Before, Han Mingyuan just thought that passing the imperial examination would be enough, and the ranking was not important. But now he must come out on top, so as not to disappoint his teacher's kindness.
There were more and more people in the family, so Han Xiao trained all the people he bought and renovated his yard. The closer the wedding date got, the more nervous Han Xiao became.
The wedding date was set for March 16th, a very good day. The betrothal gifts were prepared in advance, and Han Xiao looked at them almost every day. The prepared furniture had also been moved in. Looking at the full yard, Han Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart. No one would have thought that he would get married in ancient times.
Thinking of the young master, Han Xiao's heart softened. He used to see a sentence on the Internet: when you love someone, you always feel that what you give him is not enough. Now Han Xiao can be said to have experienced this feeling.
"Young Master." Xing Yi interrupted Han Xiao's thoughts.
"What's the matter?" Han Xiao returned to his usual self.
"The Ruan family sent someone over, saying they've caught the person."
Han Xiao's gentle expression suddenly turned cold: "Okay, come with me to the Ruan family."
After saying that, he took Xing Yi to the Ruan family. When they arrived at the door of the Ruan family, the housekeeper Ruan was already waiting outside the door. "Mr. Han, come this way."
Han Xiao didn't say anything and followed Butler Ruan to the side courtyard. The side courtyard was where the servants lived and it was located in a remote area. Butler Ruan took Han Xiao to a utility room. When they opened the door, Ruan Xiuran and Master Ruan were already in the room. A young man who was tied up was kneeling on the ground.
This person was Yu Pengyi. When he saw Han Xiao coming in, Yu Pengyi's eyes were full of fear. He moved his body and kept backing away, and then was kicked to the ground by Ruan Xiuran.
"Han Xiao, you come and ask." Mr. Ruan sat on the chair, playing with a jade ornament in his hand.
"Yes, Uncle Ruan." Han Xiao nodded and squatted in front of Yu Pengyi.
Yu Pengyi's mouth had been blocked and his face was covered with saliva. Han Xiao picked up the hem of Yu Pengyi's clothes and pulled them off in disgust.
Yu Pengyi had the opportunity to speak and kept begging for mercy: "Master Ruan, Master Ruan, I was wrong, I was wrong, please don't kill me, don't kill me."
Watching Yu Pengyi kowtow continuously, Han Xiao's face remained unchanged: "Tell me, why do I want to kill you?"
Yu Pengyi looked at Han Xiao's expressionless face and swallowed his saliva: "It's...it's...that day at the Spring Festival Banquet, I..."
Seeing Han Xiao's face becoming increasingly ugly, Yu Pengyi trembled and didn't dare to say anything. He knew that if he was caught by the Ruan family, it must mean that the Ruan family already knew what he had done.
But he didn't know why Han Xiao was at Ruan's house. After he came ashore after being kicked hard by Han Xiao that day, everyone praised him for his bravery. Even if he didn't save the person, the Ruan family would still give him some money for seeing him jump into the water to save someone.
When he came ashore, he was still afraid that Han Xiao would tell others what happened underwater, but then he thought again that Han Xiao would definitely not dare to tell others. If he told others, Ruan Zhu's reputation would be ruined, and the Ruan family would definitely not let him go.
So he waited for a few days in anxiety, and the longer he waited, the more uneasy he became, so he planned to run away and hide first. Unexpectedly, he was caught by the Ruan family before he could even run away.
