The young man acted quickly, and with Lu Ming's involvement, the house deed was quickly completed.
When he paid the money, Han Xiao couldn't help but feel emotional. He couldn't buy a house in modern times, but now he was going to start a family here. Looking at the house he just bought, Han Xiao became more and more satisfied, but it still needed some furniture.
The furniture left by the original owner were given to Han Xiao, but Han Xiao didn't like them. As a modern man, Han Xiao had some requirements for the quality of life.
So in addition to the layout of the house, Han Xiao has already figured out how to make changes.
Before that, you need to find a reliable carpenter to make some furniture.
When Lu Ming heard Han Xiao's need, he immediately recommended one to him. There are quite a lot of craftsmen here.
After buying the house, Han Xiao had to run back and forth. He was so busy that he didn't even have time to go out with the young master.
Every time Han Xiao received a letter from the young master, he could only say sorry in his heart and tell him to go find the young master after he was done with his work.
The furniture matter was urgent, and since it was all manual work, Han Xiao had to supervise it personally. Fortunately, the person recommended by Lu Ming had a good temper, otherwise, a client like Han Xiao who had changed it several times or even dozens of times would have been punished sooner or later.
Looking at the finished product, Han Xiao felt that the hard work of the past few days was well worth it.
The furniture is not very complicated and combines some advantages of modern furniture, making the experience more comfortable.
Especially the big bed. A bed with pure hand-carvings would cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars in modern times, but the price here is so good and cheap that Han Xiao was a little worried that he had paid too little.
Lu Ming was a little curious when he saw the furniture made by Han Xiao. After seeing it, he immediately ordered a recliner of the same model.
"Uncle Lu, how come you have time to come here today?" Han Xiao was wearing a single piece of clothing, revealing his thriving muscles. He was holding a hammer in his hand and hammering with the carpenter.
Lu Ming fiddled with it for a while and looked at it for fun: "I came to talk to you about something today."
"What's the matter?" Han Xiao squatted down and continued what he was doing. Han Xiao was making a hanging chair, which was very popular among girls in modern times. Han Xiao thought that the young master would like it too.
Lu Ming wanted to keep it a secret, but Han Xiao refused to listen. "Forget it, I'll tell you directly. Do you know the current queen?"
Han Xiao was stunned, and suddenly thought of something, and looked up suddenly: "Uncle Lu, what do you mean..."
Han Xiao pointed upwards and said, "Although Jiang State did not prevent common people from talking about the royal family, one still had to be more careful when outside."
Lu Ming looked at Han Xiao in surprise. Could it be that this kid already knew?
That’s not right. Han Xiao has been in Qingping Town all the time. He probably doesn’t know much about what’s happening in the capital.
"Ahem, it's like this. The current queen recently gave birth to a prince, and the emperor was happy, so he held an imperial examination this year." Lu Ming estimated that he knew the answer by looking at Han Xiao's expression.
I just don’t know how Han Xiao knew it?
Han Xiao calculated the time. When Ruan Xiuran told him about this, he was just joking. After Lu Ming confirmed it, he estimated that the news was not false. The news might reach Qingping Town in a few days.
"Uncle Lu, have you told my father about this?" Han Xiao thought of Han Mingyuan.
Lu Ming shook his head awkwardly: "I just got the news and came to see you. I haven't had time to tell your father yet."
Han Xiao looked at Lu Ming speechlessly. What was the point of telling him about this? It wasn't his exam.
Feeling the mockery in Han Xiao's expression, Lu Ming became angry and said, "I'm doing this for your own good, right? Your father's literary talent is definitely not inferior to anyone else. If it weren't for..."
Lu Ming suddenly stopped talking mid-sentence.
Han Xiao listened carefully and put down the hammer in his hand: "What else?"
Lu Ming was vague: "It has nothing to do with you. What do you know as a child? Go and talk to your father and stop slacking off here."
After saying that, he immediately turned around and ran away, almost letting the cat out of the bag.
Han Xiao looked at Lu Ming's back and thought about what Lu Ming had just said. He could feel that someone must have been behind Han Mingyuan's failure in the exam.
It seems that Lu Ming knows something, but Lu Ming doesn't want to say it because no one can force him. He just doesn't know whether Han Mingyuan knows it.
I tidied my clothes and told the carpenter to make it according to my drawings. Money was not an issue, but the quality had to be good.
The carpenter had a very gentle temper. After hearing Han Xiao's instructions, he agreed seriously. Only then did Han Xiao feel at ease to go home.
When I got home, the breakfast shop was still busy. But now it is no longer a breakfast shop. It also makes some braised dishes at noon, which has been very popular recently.
Looking at Han Dashan and Han Dahe busy outside the store, Han Xiao walked up to them and greeted them.
Han's mother has been working at the cash register and has not done any heavy work. This is also because Han Xiao strongly requested her not to do it. Otherwise, with Han's mother's personality, she would probably be very busy now.
"Mom, is Dad home?"
Han's mother was still giving out change. When she saw Han Xiao coming back, she took a moment out of her busy schedule to say, "Yes, I'm reading."
"Okay, got it. Mom, come with me. I have something to tell you." Looking at Han's mother who was still busy, Han Xiao frowned. There were still not enough people.
"Child, if you have something to say, tell me at night. I need someone to be with me right now." Han's mother was a little reluctant.
"Mom, it's very important." Han Xiao said again and again.
Han's mother had no choice but to smile apologetically at the guest. The guest understood, and Han's mother breathed a sigh of relief.
"Let's go, go back first."
Han Xiao brought his mother back home, and sure enough, Han Mingyuan was reading a book with some written draft paper in front of him.
Seeing Han Xiao coming over, Han Mingyuan put down the book and said, "You've been away for the past two days, how come you're free to come back now?"
Han Xiao touched his nose and said, "Dad, I'm telling you something serious. Please stop talking about me."
"Oh? What's the matter?" Han Mingyuan was a little confused.
"Uncle Lu just came to see me. He said there was news from the capital that the emperor might hold an imperial examination..."
Before Han Xiao could finish his words, Han Mingyuan stood up with a bang, and the chair behind him made a harsh sound as it rubbed against the ground.
When Han's mother heard this, her mouth opened wide. Open...open an encyclopedia? That means...she immediately turned to look at Han Mingyuan.
Han Mingyuan's eyes were red, with tears flickering in them, and his hands hanging at his sides were clenched into fists.
After a while, Han Mingyuan struggled to speak in a hoarse voice: "Are you telling the truth? Is the information reliable?"
Han Xiao didn't dare to hide it and immediately told Han Mingyuan what Lu Ming said.
Han Mingyuan just stood there straight, looking dazed.
He couldn't remember how many years it had been. He had failed the exam three times and had already given up. He was looking forward to the moment when his son persuaded him to pick up his books again.
When it really came, Han Mingyuan didn't know how to react for a moment.
