Han Xiao probably understood what was going on. It seemed that the Chen family had somehow stolen the Ruan family's secrets. Now that the Chen family could also produce this kind of fabric, Yuehua satin would no longer be exclusive to the Ruan family.
Generally speaking, when encountering such a situation, one would definitely seek help from the government. County Magistrate He knew that he was making things difficult for the Ruan family and was tied to the Chen family.
The shopkeeper felt a chill in his heart when he saw Han Xiao frowning, wondering what he was thinking about. Although he did not place his hopes on Han Xiao, there was always a chance of something happening.
What if he could really do it? However, looking at Han Xiao's expression, the shopkeeper knew that there was probably no way out. He still forced himself to cheer up: "Don't worry, Mr. Han, the boss is already thinking of a solution. If it really doesn't work, we can lower the price again."
Lowering the price cannot solve the problem, but the Ruan family has no other choice now. If things continue like this, they may have to lower the price.
Han Xiao asked Zhang Guo some more questions and carefully looked at some of the fabrics in the store.
Han Xiao knew that the dyeing techniques in ancient times were relatively simple, and many colors could not be dyed, and even if they were dyed, the results were not ideal, such as red and purple.
As a top science student, Han Xiao found these colors to be a piece of cake.
The beets he found could be dyed into a beautiful red color. When he was in college, he and his classmates were curious and even dyed T-shirts of different colors by themselves.
Han Xiao had a rough plan in mind, but since it still required Mr. Ruan's cooperation, it wouldn't be appropriate to tell the shopkeeper about it. He just smiled and said to the shopkeeper, "Don't worry, shopkeeper. The Ruan family has good luck, and I'm afraid it will be resolved soon."
The shopkeeper hit his head and didn't take Han Xiao's words to heart at all.
Han Xiao didn't care. Some things couldn't be told to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper was a good person, and Han Xiao just wanted to comfort him.
After a while, the waiter brought out the two little ones. Han Xiao's eyes lit up when they saw the two little ones wearing new clothes.
The Han family has good genes, and no one in the family is ugly. Even Han Mingxiu, whom Han Xiao hates very much, has a face that can deceive young boys and girls.
What's more, Han Mingyuan's appearance is even better, so the two little ones look like the boys under the Bodhisattva's seat when they come out, very cute.
Moreover, the workmanship of the clothes is obviously good, and the children do not feel uncomfortable when wearing them.
Picking up Han Yuer and pinching his happy little face, he said, "Whose little cutie is this? He's so cute."
Han Yuer's eyes sparkled as she responded crisply, "It's my brother's."
Han Que couldn't help but tug at Han Xiao's clothes: "Brother, there's still me, look at me."
Han Xiao looked down and saw that Yu'er was not as cute as him. Han Que looked at his elder brother holding his younger brother and turned away angrily, ignoring them.
The three of them played around for a while before walking up to the shopkeeper and saying, "Shopkeeper, let's settle the bill."
The shopkeeper picked up the abacus and fiddled with it for a while: "Mr. Han, the total is 45 taels and 3 qian, but since you bought a lot, I will give you the change."
Han Xiao was embarrassed. It seemed that the shopkeeper gave him a discount for Han Mingyuan's sake. Han Xiao did not refuse and paid the money without hesitation: "Thank you for troubling me today, shopkeeper. I will buy you a drink when you are free."
The shopkeeper was quite cheerful and agreed with a smile.
When taking the two little ones wearing new clothes out, a cold wind blew, but the three of them were warm, especially Han Que who was wearing new clothes. He started to feel nervous and wanted to show his new clothes to his little friends.
However, they were suppressed by Han Xiao. Han's father and mother were not at home today. They took the two of them to buy clothes and then took them to see a magic show. The two little ones opened their eyes wide after watching the exciting show.
Han Xiao laughed and thought that if he had time in the future, he should bring them out to see the world more often, because children should be happy.
Looking at them, Han Xiao thought of the young master. He wondered what the young master was doing now and whether he had seen all these tricks in the martial arts world. Qingping Town was still too small. If there was a chance in the future, Han Xiao wanted to take the young master to travel all over the beautiful land of Jiang Kingdom.
The two little ones were exhausted after a whole day. Han Yuer could hardly open her eyes. She lay on Han Xiao's shoulder and whispered about what she had seen and heard today. Han Que was also rubbing his eyes. He didn't take a nap today and probably couldn't hold on any longer.
Holding both little ones in his arms, he responded to their words sporadically, and soon the only sound left was their snoring.
Han Xiao smiled silently and carried the two of them home. When they got home, Han's father and mother had already returned.
Han's father was helping Han's mother busy in the kitchen. Han Xiao came back with the two of them and quickly took one of them: "Why did you go out for so long?"
Han Xiao said softly, "Take them both for a walk during the New Year."
Father Han smiled and said, "Just spoil them."
Looking at the new clothes worn by the two children, Han Mingyuan disagreed: "Your mother has made new clothes for them, why are you still buying ready-made clothes?"
Han Xiao handed him the cloth on his back as well: "Here, I bought it for you and mom too. This set looks good and isn't expensive. I bought it at Jinshang Pavilion at a discount."
Han Mingyuan still looked disapproving. Although the Han and Ruan families were married, he couldn't do such a thing: "Why are you asking them for a discount?"
Han Xiao touched his nose and said, "I'm just going to take a look. I heard that the Ruan family's business hasn't been very good recently. Isn't this just to support them a little? See if there's anything I can do to help."
Han Mingyuan knew that his son was very opinionated, so he didn't ask any further questions. He carried Han Que into the room. It would be uncomfortable to sleep with them in his arms. The two little ones had been playing all day long, so he should have a good sleep first before getting up to have a midnight snack.
After dinner, Han Xiao told Han Mingyuan what happened to the Ruan family.
Han Mingyuan's expression was a little ugly: "Could this matter be related to Han Mingxiu?"
Speaking of Han Mingxiu, Han Xiao was not quite sure. He only knew that Han Mingxiu had been close to the Chen family recently. He didn't know much about them, but Lu Ming probably knew something about these things.
As a powerful family in Qingping Town, although the Lu family only has one property, Yipinlou, in Qingping Town, Yipinlou is a chain store.
And from what Han Xiao knew, the Lu family was definitely not simple, but he didn't know why they had been staying in this small town.
Thinking about Han Xiao asking the questions in his mind, Han Mingyuan and Lu Ming knew a lot as classmates.
"Your Uncle Lu, he was originally from Beijing. It seems that he was sent here because his family committed some crime. Do you still have any feelings about your Uncle Lu?" He had some understanding of the transaction between his son and Lu Ming.
"Ah, isn't this a question I want to ask Uncle Lu about? I can't just ask Ruanruan directly."
Even if he asked Ruanruan, she wouldn't know. After all, Ruanruan was just a young master in the backyard who was pampered. Uncle Lin might know, but Han Xiao didn't want to ask. After all, it was the Ruan family's property. Those who didn't know might think that Han Xiao had some intentions towards the Ruan family.
