"We can wait, we can wait." Chen Yuandao stood up excitedly and walked to Ruan Xiuran.
"Mr. Ruan, thank you so much. I will definitely give you a big gift next time. You have helped me a lot."
What if he didn't bring the fabric back today? Chen Yuandao couldn't help but shudder when he thought of his little sister's crying. The consequences would be unimaginable.
"It's nothing, just a small matter. I'm glad I can help you." Ruan Xiuran was very calm. He had learned a lot from Han Xiao recently and was very different from the middle school boy before.
Everyone was having a good time when someone suddenly interrupted with a harsh remark: "I said, is there anyone still buying Ruan's fabrics?"
Han Xiao frowned and looked up when he heard that. It was a slightly plump young man, and sitting next to the young man were Chen Chengye and Han Mingxiu.
As soon as these words came out, the whole private room suddenly became quiet. The slightly plump young man seemed to know that he had said the wrong thing and looked at Chen Chengye somewhat at a loss.
"Lao Zhang, why are you saying this? Isn't this delaying other people's business?" Chen Chengye said lazily, leaning back in his chair with a glass of wine in hand.
The slightly plump young man called Lao Zhang immediately took advantage of the situation and slapped himself lightly. "Look at me, I'm always quick-witted. Master Ruan and Master Han, I don't mean anything else. You guys continue. I'll drink a glass of wine to make amends."
After saying that, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, just looking at Han Xiao and the others provocatively.
Chen Yuandao's face looked a little ugly. Of course he had heard the recent rumors in the town, but he would not believe such nonsense. He would rather believe that someone disliked the Ruan family and wanted to take action against them.
"You two don't have to worry about that. As the saying goes, seeing is believing, hearing is not. We are all scholars, and I think you all understand this truth." Chen Yuandao's voice was low, and it was obvious that he chose to believe the Ruan family.
The others looked at each other without saying anything. Some believed the rumors and some did not. However, the feud between the Chen and Ruan families was not something they could interfere with. They just needed to watch the fun.
Chen Chengye looked around and continued, "Mr. Chen, what you said makes sense. The Ruan family's fabrics are indeed exquisite. I couldn't help but buy a piece for my brother. Not to mention anything else, the Ruan family's fabrics are even more beautiful than the tribute."
As expected, after hearing what Chen Chengye said, everyone's eyes fell on Han Xiao and Ruan Xiuran. Many of them had never seen tribute, but the Chen family had a special status, so they had seen tribute. However, they had some doubts. Could it be that the fabrics of the Ruan family were really better than those in the palace?
"You..." Ruan Xiuran was young and full of energy. Seeing Chen Chengye talking nonsense, he couldn't help but stand up and refute.
"Xiuran, calm down." Han Xiao shouted in a low voice. Chen Chengye's purpose was to provoke Ruan Xiuran so that they would have the opportunity to reverse right and wrong. Unfortunately, Han Xiao had already known their conspiracy.
So, grabbing the angry Ruan Xiuran, Han Xiao stood up and said, "Everyone, I know there have been a lot of rumors in this town recently, but you can use our Ruan family's fabrics without worrying about any problems. As for what Young Master Chen said about it being better than tribute, I want to know how you knew that. Does the Chen family have tribute?"
Hearing Han Xiao's words, Chen Chengye's expression turned ugly. What did he mean by "his family has tribute"? Was it just a casual remark? Tribute, tribute, means something that only the person in the palace can use. Han Xiao is just trying to put a finagling on him.
"Mr. Han, you're joking. How could my family have any tribute? I just saw it from afar." Chen Chengye didn't want to argue with Han Xiao anymore.
But Han Xiao didn't want to let him go: "Then how do you know that the Ruan family's fabrics are better than the tribute? You can tell from a distance. Master Chen's eyesight is too sharp. If you don't know, you would think he is holding it in his hands for comparison."
"Han Xiao, be careful with your words." Han Mingxiu saw that Chen Chengye's face was getting paler and paler, and was worried that Chen Chengye would suffer if he continued talking, so he finally couldn't help but stand up to stop Han Xiao.
Han Xiao sat down. This Chen Chengye was boring. He hadn't used his ultimate move yet, and it was already no use. His fighting power was too low.
Lu Qingyun also came out to laugh at the right time, and the atmosphere in the room eased up for a while.
Lu Qingyun whispered into Han Xiao's ear: "What's going on? Why are you so angry today?"
Han Xiao lowered his head to drink tea and didn't want to pay attention to him, but a burst of pleasant music came from outside, and the young men in the private room also became agitated: "Look, the Twelve Flower Gods are coming."
Han Xiao followed the crowd to the window and saw a long team coming up the street below. It was composed entirely of women and men. Their faces were outlined with flower juice, which looked a bit strange but also had a unique beauty.
Right in the middle of the team there were twelve open-air lotus platforms, and on each of them stood a pretty and charming beauty.
These are the twelve flower gods elected this year. Han Xiao even saw Chen Jiabao and He Xiangdi on the lotus platform.
I couldn't help but complain in my heart, how did these people choose, how did they choose these two people, and even rank them at the top.
The first one was He Xiangdi. She was wearing a red dress with a few plum blossoms outlined between her eyebrows. The single young people on the roadside kept sprinkling the flowers in their hands on her just to make the beauty smile.
Han Xiao lost interest after taking a few glances. She was not as pretty as his own daughter Ruanruan. Ruanruan was getting married to him this year. If Ruanruan participated and won the championship, it would be easy.
Thinking of this, Han Xiao looked for the young master next door, because the two private rooms were separated by only a curtain, and the shadows were dim and unclear.
Han Xiao said something to Lu Qingyun and Ruan Xiuran, and was about to go find the young master, but was stopped by Lu Qingyun: "What are you doing over there? This is where we are, don't scare them."
Han Xiao asked in confusion: "Why?" He just wanted to go find his wife, but he couldn't go.
Lu Qingyun looked at Han Xiao as if he was a fool. "Are you really confused or are you just pretending? This is the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Men and women should be separated. Most of the ladies over there are unmarried. What if something goes wrong? Can you handle it?"
Lu Qingyun looked at Han Xiao with disappointment, thinking he did it on purpose.
Han Xiao touched his nose. He didn't know about this, and Ruanruan didn't tell him either.
"Okay, then I'll go over later." Han Xiao said helplessly. He couldn't attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet and he wouldn't be able to see his wife.
"We have to wait until the parade of the Twelve Flower Gods is over, then you can move freely. Anyway, you can't go in now, there are no men inside." Lu Qingyun was still a little worried about Han Xiao, fearing that he could not help but break in.
