Chen Chengye didn't care what grudges Han Mingxiu and Han Mingyuan had. He was happy to see the two brothers on the verge of a fight. It didn't affect him at all.
Han Mingxiu was right about one thing, that is, Han Mingyuan must not be allowed to take the provincial examination smoothly. Once Han Mingyuan passed the examination, the situation in Qingping Town would be different.
The Ruan family was already wealthy, and with Han Mingyuan's help, there was no place for the Chen family to stand in Qingping Town.
The two of them were thinking about something tacitly, and no one spoke. Even the maid who came up to add tea was trembling with fear.
After a long while, Chen Chengye finally spoke: "I'll find someone to do it, but is your method reliable?"
Han Mingxiu lowered his head and chuckled softly, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile: "Why do you think Han Mingyuan failed the exam three times?"
"Okay, since you said so, leave it to me and I'll send someone to do it."
Han Mingyuan was unaware of the collusion between the two men. The closer the provincial examination got, the calmer he felt.
Failing the exam three times has always been a hurdle in his mind. Han Mingyuan thought he would never be able to cross it in his lifetime. Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better and God gave him another chance.
Since God has been so kind to him, Han Mingyuan will definitely not let this kindness down.
At the end of February, Han Xiao had been busy for nearly a month and finally finished making all the furniture. Looking at the brand new house, Han Xiao was very satisfied.
Han's mother also came to help today. Looking at such a large house, she felt a little uneasy: "Han Xiao, are we really going to live here from now on?"
"Yes, mother, the east courtyard is for you and father to live in. After Ruanruan and I get married, we will live in the west courtyard. This way we won't disturb father's studies."
"Okay, okay, then I'll go to the East Courtyard and take a look." Han's mother was dazzled by the sight and didn't want to cause trouble for her son. She simply walked around on her own. But how was she going to clean such a big house? Han's mother had a new worry.
After tidying up the new house, Han Xiao looked at the big trees in the yard. The weather in February was getting warmer, and the old trees were sprouting new buds, covered with a layer of hazy green.
Looking at the scene in the courtyard, Han Xiao couldn't help but imagine himself living here with the young master. From now on, he would no longer be a rootless duckweed, but would have his own ties and weaknesses.
On the day of moving, Lu Ming called Lao Lin and others to help. Seeing him busying around, those who didn't know would think he was moving for himself.
Lu Ming wiped the sweat from his head and looked at Han Xiao: "Han Xiao, I said that since you have bought a new house, don't you want to hire some servants?"
Otherwise, who will serve the young master? Lu Ming didn't say the rest.
Han Xiao had been thinking about buying people for a long time, but he had been too busy recently and had not looked into it. Lu Ming brought it up today for Han Xiao's sake. After getting married with the young master, he couldn't just use the people brought by the young master.
"Then Uncle Lu, please help me take a look. Just find someone who is honest and decent." Han Xiao was somewhat resistant to the idea of buying people. As a good young man in the 21st century, he still felt a little reluctant, but Han Xiao did not want to change it. Existence is reasonable, and Han Xiao was not arrogant enough to change the rules.
Lu Ming was so upset, thinking that he was asking for trouble.
But since Han Xiao had said it, he had to help. After all, he didn't believe in Han Xiao's ability to select people. It would be better to find a professional to do this kind of thing.
Han Xiao was very confident in handing the task of buying people over to Lu Ming. Although Lu Ming was sometimes unreliable in what he said, he was reliable in doing things.
With the joint efforts of several people, everything was finally moved in the evening. This was Han Xiao's second move. Unlike the last time when all the Han family's belongings were carried on an ox cart, this time it took a whole day to move everything.
Seeing that the new house was gradually becoming popular, Han Xiao smiled with ease.
After moving, it is time to warm up the house, which is also called "roasting the bottom of the pot". When moving into a new house, friends and relatives will be invited to have a meal in the new house. The meals are prepared by the chef of Yipintang under the supervision of Han Xiao, and they are delicious.
Everyone was so busy eating that they could hardly lift their heads. The Ruan family sent someone to deliver gifts, but the person didn’t show up. As the wedding date was approaching, the newlyweds had to reduce their interactions.
A few days ago, Han Xiao wanted to go to Ruan's house to find the young master, but was sent back by the doorman. Han Xiao was not angry, so he could only go home angrily and send some more small things to the young master.
I haven't seen the young master for several days. I don't know if he will be angry with me when I see him again. After all, Han Xiao promised the young master to take him out to play when the weather gets warmer.
Han Xiao couldn't sleep in the new house because of all sorts of thoughts. He glanced at the moonlight outside the window, put on some clothes and went out to enjoy the moon.
I was wandering around the yard late at night and felt a bit cold, when suddenly I saw someone standing in the yard.
Han Xiao stopped and looked closely. It turned out to be Han Mingyuan.
"Dad, what are you doing here instead of sleeping?" Han Xiao walked to Han Mingyuan.
Han Mingyuan was holding a letter in his hand. When he saw Han Xiao coming over, he handed the letter to him: "Take a look."
The signature on the letter was someone Han Xiao had never seen before. He took a quick look at the general content and found that it was just an invitation to Han Mingyuan to attend the Spring Banquet.
"Spring Banquet?" Han Xiao asked Han Mingyuan in confusion, what is this and who hosted it?
As a modern person, Han Xiao often attends gatherings, but he has never seen what ancient banquets were like.
"This is what your uncle Lu brought here today. It's a letter from the county magistrate. He hasn't sent it to our house in previous years. I wonder why he didn't send it this year?" Han Mingyuan frowned as he looked at the letter.
"He Zhixian?" Han Xiao was surprised. Suddenly, he remembered that the Chen family had already hooked up with He Zhixian. So what was the purpose of sending this invitation?
"Yes, we have no connection with County Magistrate He. Why would he personally send the invitation this year and even specifically ask him to bring you along?" Han Mingyuan was very puzzled.
Han Xiao shrugged his shoulders. If you ask me to go, I will go. That would be so embarrassing. He stretched out his waist and said, "Who cares? If you are invited, then go. But I won't go. If I have time, I might as well go and play with Ruanruan."
"Hmph, you can't even get into the Ruan family now, and you're still looking for Ruanruan to play with?" Han Mingyuan sneered.
Han Xiao rubbed his head awkwardly. Wasn't this an accident? He hadn't remembered that the newlyweds couldn't see each other before the wedding. Wasn't it three days before the wedding? There was still a month or so left.
"Hey, Dad, you're not right to say that. Ruanruan and I have a good relationship. If I persuade her a little, she will definitely come to see me."
"Oh, are you sure you won't go to this Spring Banquet?" Han Mingyuan looked at Han Xiao with a smile.
"Yeah, there's nothing fun to do if you don't go."
"That's a pity. The Spring Banquet itself gathers the young talents of this county, and many young ladies and gentlemen will also be invited. Every year's Spring Banquet is very popular. It's really a pity that you don't go." After saying this, Han Mingyuan put away the letter, shook his head, turned around and went back to sleep.
