When Han Xiao arrived at the door, Mr. Qinghe's carriage had just stopped.
The doorman went up to hold the horse, and Han Xiao walked to the outside of the carriage and stretched out his hand to help Mr. Qinghe get down.
Mr. Qinghe saw Han Xiao already waiting outside the car, and a kind look appeared on his old face: "How come you came out so soon?"
Han Xiao helped Mr. Qinghe get off the carriage, then said slowly, "I heard you coming from the gatehouse, so I came out. Father is still reviewing the homework you left for him, so he might be out a little later."
"It's not like I haven't been here before. Tell your father to let him review well. It's nothing big for me to come here today." Mr. Qinghe said with a smile. He was very satisfied with Han Mingyuan's efforts.
Although Han Mingyuan has not read the books left by Mr. Qinghe for nearly 10 years, he has been working very hard recently. He starts reading and writing policy papers before dawn every day. His enthusiasm makes Han Xiao feel ashamed.
He didn't work so hard when he took the college entrance examination. Maybe this is one of the reasons why Mr. Qinghe likes Han Mingyuan.
Han Xiao followed Mr. Qinghe into the room and said, "That won't do. If Dad knows you're here and I don't tell him, he'll probably scold me again."
Mr. Qinghe raised his eyebrows and laughed: "You are nothing like your father. Your father was not this stubborn when he was your age."
Han Xiao touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed. It would be a problem if his personality was similar to Han Mingyuan's. However, the original owner's personality was not like Han Mingyuan's, but similar to Han's mother's.
"Grandpa, please stop teasing me. My mother cooked today, so you must eat more."
"Hahaha, okay, okay, I came here specially at this time. Although the recipe you gave is also cooked by the chef at home, I always feel that it lacks some flavor." Mr. Qinghe laughed.
"But are there any other guests today?" Mr. Qinghe paused and continued, otherwise Han's mother would not cook herself unless there were distinguished guests.
Han Xiao nodded: "Yes, it is also the Third Young Master you know, Grandpa."
"Third Young Master?" Mr. Qinghe pondered, a thoughtful look on his face.
Then he looked at Han Xiao and understood: "He came to you on his own initiative?"
"Yes, I met him at the Hundred Flowers Banquet that day, so I went to ask Uncle Lu." Han Xiao answered truthfully. He never hid anything in front of Mr. Qinghe.
Mr. Qinghe's expression gradually grew serious, and after a long while, he sighed softly, "It's all an injustice."
From Mr. Qinghe's tone, I can tell that he also knows about what happened back then. However, this is not difficult to guess. Mr. Qinghe has a special identity, and the incident involving Su Guijun was a very big deal back then, so it is not surprising that Mr. Qinghe knows about it.
Han Xiao saw that Mr. Qinghe was in a bad mood, so he said softly, "But now it can be said that the hardship has finally ended and happiness has finally come. The Third Young Master...he likes Ruanruan very much."
Mr. Qinghe nodded. The Third Young Master had good character. At least he was one of the best among these adult princes. This was also the reason why Mr. Qinghe was willing to follow Chu Jinglin back to Beijing.
If it were Zhang Shaoqi, he would have never met Mr. Qinghe until now.
"That's good. I just hope everything goes well for them in the future. Let's go and meet the Third Young Master."
"yes."
Han Xiao brought Qinghe to the main hall. Chu Jinglin had obviously received the news and was waiting outside the door early.
Seeing Mr. Qinghe coming over, Chu Jinglin stepped forward and saluted: "How are you, Mr. Qinghe?"
Mr. Qinghe nodded gently, looked at the young master whose eyes were still a little red, and waved him over with a smile: "Ruanruan, come here and let grandpa see you."
The young master ran over obediently, raised his little face and called softly, "Hello, Grandpa."
Mr. Qinghe smiled gently. He was always very patient with obedient and sensible young men. He had never married and had no children of his own. He only adopted Han Xiao as a grandson when he was old. He didn't expect that he would also be given such a cute granddaughter-in-law.
"Oh, our little one is so good, but why are his eyes so red? Look at his little face, it's all red from crying." Mr. Qinghe touched the little master's furry head and said with some heartache.
The young master rubbed his face embarrassedly and said, "It's okay, Grandpa. Come in and sit down."
As she said this, she took Mr. Qinghe's hand and led him into the house.
Han Xiao and Chu Jinglin walked side by side. Looking at Chu Jinglin's shocked expression, he knew that he had never seen Mr. Qinghe so kind.
"Has Mr. Qinghe always been like this?" Chu Jinglin came back to his senses and asked Han Xiao in disbelief.
Han Xiao was no longer surprised. Although he was Mr. Qinghe's godson, he was still no match for a young master in terms of favor. "Calm down, this is just the beginning."
Chu Jinglin still had a shocked expression on his face. It was really unbelievable that Mr. Qinghe, who used to keep strangers away, was so kind to his younger brother.
Mr. Qinghe had just sat down when Han Mingyuan came over and even brought his homework with him, wanting to show it to Mr. Qinghe.
Mr. Qinghe glanced at it a few times and put it aside. "I'll take a look later. I'm clear about your ability. You should have no problem passing the imperial examination this year. But Mingyuan, I don't just want to pass the imperial examination, do you understand?"
Han Mingyuan bowed and said, "I understand and will definitely live up to your expectations."
"Well, that's good. Please sit down quickly. I came here to talk to you today." Mr. Qinghe nodded fully. He has always had high expectations for Han Mingyuan, and he will definitely not let him down this time.
Han's mother brought the servants to serve the food in time. Fortunately, because they didn't know Chu Jinglin's taste at the beginning, the food prepared by the kitchen was more diverse.
"Okay, Dad, Grandpa is hungry, let's eat quickly. Grandpa, Third Young Master, you all should try my mother's cooking." Han Xiao picked up the serving chopsticks and served the dishes to Mr. Qinghe.
Looking at these delicious meals, Chu Jinglin was also very surprised. How come... he had never seen these dishes before.
After taking a bite, Chu Jinglin's eyes lit up and he quickly picked up another piece. The food was so delicious, just like what he had in the palace.
Looking up at Mr. Qinghe's expression and Lu Qingyun who was buried in his bowl and couldn't raise his head, I knew that this was not their first time to come to the Han family for dinner.
All of a sudden, Chu Jinglin felt a mixture of emotions, and suddenly someone put a piece of braised pork into his bowl.
Chu Jinglin turned around and saw Ruanruan. Noticing Chu Jinglin's gaze, Ruanruan whispered, "Brother, eat quickly. This braised pork is made by mother and is very delicious. Come and try it."
The young master has a simple mind and will share what he likes with people close to him.
Chu Jinglin looked at the young master gently and nodded, then picked up the braised pork and put it close to his mouth. As expected, the braised pork that the young master strongly recommended was delicious, which surprised Chu Jinglin a little. He usually didn't like eating fatty meat.
However, the taste of this braised pork is completely different from that of ordinary fat meat. Looking at the rapidly decreasing amount of braised pork on the plate, Chu Jinglin knew how popular this dish was. Seeing that it was almost gone, he quickly picked up another piece with chopsticks.
Han Xiao saw Chu Jinglin's movements clearly. It seemed that Chu Jinglin and the young master were exactly the same in this respect. They were indeed brothers.
