Under the intimidation of Mrs. Ruan, Mr. Ruan could only give Han Xiao a look, and Han Xiao returned the look. Mrs. Ruan saw the two of them flirting with each other and snorted in annoyance.
It was already late after dinner. Han Xiao had already taken a nap in the afternoon and was not sleepy at this time, so he stayed in the main hall to listen to Han Mingyuan talking to Master Ruan.
Master Ruan looked at Han Xiao and the young master, and the relief on his face could not be concealed: "Han Xiao, I will hand Ruan Ruan over to you from now on. I don't ask for you to become rich and powerful, but I only hope that you will be safe and happy."
Han Xiao held the young master's hand and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Ruan. I will protect Ruanruan well in the future and will never let him suffer any injustice."
The young master kept smiling as he listened to Han Xiao's words. Seeing this, Mr. Ruan looked at Han Xiao deeply.
As long as Han Xiao treats Ruan Zhu well, he can guarantee Han Xiao's wealth and glory for the rest of his life. If Han Xiao ever has second thoughts about Ruan Zhu, he will never show mercy. After all, Ruan Zhu is the most important person to him.
Han Xiao didn't know what Master Ruan was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it to heart. He only wanted to bring the young master back home.
Now that the wedding date has been set, the small courtyard that Han Mingyuan found before can definitely no longer be used as a wedding house, and Han Xiao has to find a way to buy another house.
I still have some money now, but it’s probably still not enough to buy a house. I can only wait until after the New Year to visit the Lu family, or sell a few more recipes to Lu Ming.
After resting for another night at Ruan's house, Han Mingyuan took Han Xiao home the next morning.
When she got home, she saw Han's mother taking the two little kids out. Han Yuer saw Han Xiao and immediately ran over: "Brother, hold them."
Han Xiao's heart softened, and he picked up Han Yu'er and said, "Mom, where are you going so early in the morning?"
Mother Han looked at the two of them and raised the bamboo basket in her hand. "Didn't the lady next door ask me to go to the temple to burn incense? I saw that you and your son didn't come home yesterday, so I took Yu'er and Que'er to see you. I didn't expect to run into you just when I left the house."
Han Xiao nodded and talked to the two little girls for a while before putting Han Yu down. "Okay, Mom, you go quickly. I can look after Yu'er and Que'er today. You and Dad haven't had a date for a long time. Today is a good opportunity. You two should go together."
Mother Han blushed when she heard this: "What are you talking about, kid? Your father and I are already so old."
Han Mingyuan coughed a few times and glared at Han Xiao fiercely, but Han Xiao pretended not to see it: "No, you two are still young, it's okay for me to say you are eighteen-year-old girls.
The blush on Han's mother's face became even more intense. She couldn't help but pat Han Xiao lightly, then glanced at Han Mingyuan out of the corner of her eye.
Han Mingyuan looked at his mother who looked in good spirits. He couldn't remember the last time he was alone with Chunniang. Moreover, since moving out of the village, his mother had not been tortured again. Her spirits and energy had improved a lot. She had been eating well recently, so she looked several years younger.
Han Mingyuan's heart moved, and he took the bamboo basket from Han's mother's hand: "What you said is right, my child. We should go out for a walk too. I will go with you today."
When Han's mother heard this, her throat choked and tears flashed in her eyes. How could she be so worthy of having such a sensible son and a caring husband? With such a family, she would be willing to let him suffer any more hardships and be tired in the future.
Han Xiao shuddered when he saw the sticky atmosphere between his parents. He held Han Yu's hand and Han Que's hand and said, "Alas, my parents are going out on a date, and no one wants us three brothers anymore."
Han Mingyuan couldn't help but laugh and scold Han Xiao when he heard his joke: "You bastard."
Han Xiao continued to pretend not to hear, and walked towards the street with the two little ones. He no longer wanted to be a light bulb.
I had nothing to do today, so I went for a walk on the street. Although the New Year has just passed, the street vendors who have to make a living have also set up their stalls one after another.
The two little ones stared intently, everything on the street was very new to them.
But both of them were very sensible and did not cry or make a fuss. Han Xiao sighed that their parents had brought up the two little ones well, but on the other hand he felt a little distressed, as children of four or five years old should be at the age when they can act recklessly.
He bought a candied haws for each of the two little rascals. Looking at their bright little faces, Han Xiao felt soft in his heart. No matter what, he would protect the two little rascals in the future.
After buying food, Han Xiao took another look at the clothes on the two people. Although they were new clothes made by Han's mother, the material was average. Han Xiao pondered for a moment and realized that he seemed to have not bought anything for his family since he made money. He only bought jewelry for Han's mother and the two children at Wanbaolou last time, but he had never bought them clothes.
Since we were taking the kids out today, we might as well go to a garment store. Han Xiao remembered that the Ruan family was in the fabric business and had their own silk shop, so it was a good opportunity to increase the sales for his future father-in-law.
The Ruan family's silk shop is called Jinshang Pavilion, and this is just one of its branches. Han Xiao took the two children to look at the magnificent store in front of them, and he had a new understanding of the Ruan family's wealth.
The child, who was yawning out of boredom at the store entrance, perked up immediately when he saw someone standing in front of the door. He said to Han Xiao with a flattering face, "Sir, welcome, welcome. Do you want to see ready-made clothes or fabrics? The fabrics in our Jinshang Pavilion are all top-notch."
Han Xiao looked at the child and whispered, "Are there any ready-made clothes for children?"
The waiter glanced at the two children, and a smile spread across his face. "Yes, yes, the embroiderers just made some clothes for the children a few days ago. They are so festive. I'll show them to you."
Seeing Han Xiao nod, the waiter rushed into the store and shouted, "Boss, a customer is here."
When Han Xiao walked in, the shopkeeper was holding a feather duster and looking dazed with a worried look on his face. He was startled when he heard the waiter say that a customer had arrived.
He walked up to Han Xiao and said, "Hey, wait a minute, the clothes will be brought over soon. You can also take a look at other things."
Han Xiao looked around the store. The store was very large, and the fabrics and ready-made clothes were arranged very neatly. It was obvious that much thought was put into the design.
I don’t know if it’s because of the Chinese New Year, but there are not many customers in the store.
Han Xiao picked up a piece of sky-blue cloth beside him and took a look at it. The material should be silk. The fabric was very smooth and soft, and there was a dark pattern on it, which looked very valuable.
After casually looking around, Han Xiao asked casually, "Boss, it's already noon today, why are there not many people in the store?"
The shopkeeper looked at Han Xiao awkwardly, not understanding whether this man was sent by his colleagues to cause trouble.
Still putting on a forced smile, he said, "Hey, isn't it Chinese New Year? We bought everything before the New Year, so business is a little slow. But the flour section of our cloth shop has a good reputation. Look at this piece of brocade. It's very good whether you wear it yourself or give it to an elder."
