Looking at the old man and the child in front of him, Han Xiao really couldn't eat the bowl of egg custard with peace of mind.
He took out a clean small spoon and gave half to Old Mrs. Chen, and gave some of the remaining half to the young master.
The young master hurriedly tried to cover his small bowl. These were for Han Xiao's body to nourish his body. How could he eat them?
Despite the young master's disapproving look, Han Xiao still gave him half of it: "Grandma Chen, Ruanruan, hurry up and eat this, it's delicious."
Grandma Chen also disagreed. She looked at Han Xiao seriously and wanted to give him the money back: "Young man, these are for you."
"Grandma Chen, I'm almost well now. I just need to rest. Besides, there's still some in my bowl."
After saying that, Han Xiao ate the egg custard in one bite. Grandma Chen didn't say anything, but there was a little more warmth in her eyes when she looked at Han Xiao.
The young master also pouted and picked up the small bowl reluctantly.
After breakfast, the young master went to wash the dishes very sensibly. He was already very good at these things.
Han Xiao wanted to help, but was driven out by the young master.
Han Xiao could only shake his head helplessly and move a small stool like Old Lady Chen to sit in the shade of the tree at the door to enjoy the cool air.
By the way, he listened to the elderly people in the village chatting, which were basically about family matters, and Han Xiao listened with great interest.
By the afternoon, Chen Dazhu finally came back.
But this time he didn't come back alone. Chen Dazhu sat stiffly in the carriage, not daring to move.
The steward in the carriage was extremely anxious and kept asking the coachman, "Why hasn't it arrived yet? Please move faster."
The groom wiped the sweat from his head, nodded repeatedly, and then whipped the horse hard to speed up to Changhe Village.
The people in Changhe Village had never seen such a beautiful and luxurious carriage. All the idle people in the village followed it.
Chen Dazhu rubbed his hands uncomfortably and said, "Sir, how about I go down and show you the way?"
The steward hesitated for a moment and asked Chen Dazhu to go outside and sit with the coachman so that they could return to Chen Dazhu's home quickly.
Han Xiao was still lazily leaning on the chair with his eyes closed, and the young master leaned on Han Xiao and fiddled with Han Xiao's fingers.
Hearing the sound of a carriage coming, Han Xiao became alert and let the young master go in first. Han Xiao stood up with the help of a chair and looked vigilantly at the carriage that was getting closer and closer.
However, when he saw Chen Dazhui in the carriage, Han Xiao felt relieved. It seemed that Chen Dazhui had already found the people from Yipintang.
Soon the carriage stopped outside the door. Chen Dazhu got out first and walked up to Han Xiao: "Brother Han, I brought your message to you..."
Before Chen Dazhu finished speaking, the manager of the carriage jumped off. He was so anxious that he even fell flat on his face. Fortunately, the coachman was quick to help him up.
The steward steadied himself, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then straightened his clothes before stepping forward and saying respectfully, "Master Han, I am Lu Lin, here to take you and the young master back home."
Han Xiao reached out his hand and helped Lu Lin up: "Manager Lu, please stand up. If you have anything to say, please come in first."
Seeing that more and more villagers were joining in the fun, Han Xiao asked some to come in first.
Lu Lin nodded and continued to follow Han Xiao respectfully.
Chen Dazhu looked at Han Xiao at a loss. He vaguely knew that Han Xiao would be very rich, but he didn't expect that the manager of Yipinlou would be so respectful to Han Xiao when he saw him. He suddenly didn't know how to face Han Xiao.
Han Xiao pulled Chen Dazhu and said, "Brother Dazhu, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it's not hard." Chen Dazhu quickly shook his head. He was just running errands, so it was hard to say whether it was hard or not.
As the group entered the house, Lu Lin's brows never relaxed as he looked at the scene in the courtyard, especially when he saw the young master who had become much thinner and more haggard, the expression on his face became even more regretful.
"Husband, who is this?" The young master was a little nervous when Han Xiao drove him in. Now seeing Han Xiao bringing a stranger in, he asked uneasily.
"It's okay, this is Lu Lin, the manager of Yipinlou." Han Xiao put his arm around the young master's shoulders and comforted him.
When the young master heard that it was one of his own, a smile immediately appeared on his face and he said softly, "Hello, Manager Lu."
Lu Lin was flattered: "Hello, young master."
He knew the identity of this young master. From the moment Han Xiao and the young master disappeared, they received a secret notice and secretly sent people to look for the whereabouts of Han Xiao and the young master.
The area under his jurisdiction was remote, so he hadn't held much hope at first. Unexpectedly, someone came to his door early this morning with the young master's jade pendant.
Lu Lin was so anxious that he rushed to Changhe Village without stopping for a moment to see for himself whether it was true or not.
The news has also been notified to Lu Ming and they believe that more people will arrive soon.
"Manager Lu, please come in first. I want to find out some information from you."
Han Xiao invited Lu Lin into the house. Old Mrs. Chen was also a clear-minded person. Seeing that Han Xiao's family had arrived, she specially brought Chen Dazhu to visit them and left the room to them.
"Okay, Mr. Han, I've already told the Patriarch and the others about you and the young master being here. Why don't you two follow me back to the First Floor first?"
He could see that Han Xiao was seriously injured and needed to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Han Xiao didn't object nor agree, but just asked, "How is my family doing?"
He now urgently wants to know the situation of Han Mingyuan and the others. Han Mingyuan arrived at the Summer Resort first, and they were one day late to rescue him and were chased by Zhang Shaoqi. Han Xiao was very worried that Zhang Shaoqi would take ruthless action against Han Mingyuan and the others.
Lu Lin was silent for a moment before he said, "I'm not well-informed here. Apart from the news that they were looking for you and the young master, no one else has mentioned anything else. But it should be fine, because the head of the family told me that if anything happens to your father, I will definitely be informed."
Han Xiao was not discouraged even though he didn't get the answer he wanted. No news was the best news. Given the relationship between his father and Lu Ming, he would definitely not leave them alone.
Also, I don’t know what’s happening with Xing Yi, Chuyi, and Shiwu.
Xing Yi is his rare helper, and Chuyi and Shiwu grew up with Ruanruan and are as close as brothers. If something happens, the young master will probably feel bad for a long time.
However, Han Xiao did not dare to ask more in front of the young master. It was just that it was getting late outside, and it might not be realistic to go back now. It would be safer to set off at the earliest tomorrow.
I discussed the itinerary with Lu Lin, and then borrowed some silver money from him to give to Old Lady Chen when she came back.
Han Xiao had said at the beginning that as long as Chen Dazhu got married, he would pay for the bride price. If he gave too much, it would be difficult for Old Mrs. Chen and Chen Dazhu, an honest man, to keep it. Han Xiao would never gamble on the complexity of human nature. There were too many examples of people who became rich overnight and then were targeted by others.
It seems that I have to find a way to help them.
