Three days later, it was Qingshan Academy's weekly rest day, and Han Xu came to Yinfeng Tower early in the morning. Although his mother repeatedly told him that she was doing well in Yinfeng Tower, Han Xu was still a little worried.
When Han Xu arrived at Yinfeng Tower, it was not open yet. When the waiter opened the door, he saw a young man dressed as a scholar waiting at the door. He thought Han Xu was queuing up to buy natural face cream, because today was the day when new natural face cream was released every month.
"Sir, you come really early. Our store has just opened, and the bare face cream will not be available for sale until later. You can get a number tag first, and then go have breakfast before coming back." The clerk thought that Han Xu came so early because he didn't know the rules of the store, and was worried that Han Xu hadn't had breakfast, so he gave him some advice.
"Thank you, waiter. I'm not here to buy anything. I'm here to look for someone." Han Xu knew that the waiter had misunderstood him, so he hurried to explain so as not to trouble the waiter to get him a number plate.
"Sir, please come in and sit down first. I don't know who you are looking for, but I have been here for three years and I am familiar with everyone." When the waiter heard that Han Xu was looking for someone, he became more enthusiastic.
"I want to find Madam Han, that's my mother." Han Xu bowed to the waiter and spoke slowly.
"So you are the son of Madam Han who studies at Qingshan Academy. Please wait a moment, I will go and call Madam Han for you. Master Han is here really early." The waiter warmly invited Han Xu to sit down, and then went to the backyard to call people.
From the moment he entered the door until now, Han Xu felt that the waiters here were enthusiastic and talkative. There were really not many people in the capital who would serve food without considering the guest's situation. It seemed that there was a reason why the Rong family could become the prime minister of the capital.
When Mrs. Han heard that it was her son who came to see her, she didn't even have time to eat breakfast and just followed the waiter over.
"Xu'er, why are you here so early? Have you had breakfast?" Mrs. Han saw that her son seemed to be thinner than in the past few days. Her eyes were full of heartache. He came so early, he must not have had breakfast yet.
"I haven't had breakfast yet. I wanted to come to see mother early." Han Xu said a little embarrassedly.
"You, I've told you that I'm doing well here, why are you still worried? Come with me to the backyard first, I'll get you breakfast later." Madam Han knew her son's temper, so she could only let him see with his own eyes that she was really fine before she could feel at ease.
"Mrs. Han, please take Mr. Han first. I'm going to get breakfast and will bring you and Mr. Han together later." The waiter who went to call her just now said with a smile.
"Thank you very much for your trouble. I will treat you to a meal when I get my wages back." Mrs. Han said gratefully.
"Madam Han, we don't need these things. You help us so much every day, so this is just a matter of convenience. Please take Mr. Han in quickly. We still have a lot to do after breakfast. Today is an important day." The waiter was very happy when he said this.
Madam Han heard from the guys here yesterday that today was an unusually busy day at Yinfeng Tower because Miss Mu was going to release a new beauty cream. Madam Han couldn't imagine how busy they meant by that, but she would cooperate unconditionally.
After breakfast, Han Xu visited the place where his mother lived and saw how everyone got along with his mother. Only then did he truly believe that his mother had not lied to him and that she was really doing well here.
Because Madam Han has always been in charge of checking the accounts, she basically stays in her own room in the backyard every day. But today she was too busy, so the shopkeeper asked for her opinion yesterday, so she also has to go to the front to help today.
"Xu'er, today might be busy. The boss told mom yesterday that he would go to the counter to help out later. Can you stay in mom's room and read a book?" It's not that Mrs. Han was worried about her son, but she was afraid that he would be bored.
"Mom, can I go with you? If you are too busy, I can help. You know I am good at accounting." Han Xu also wanted to go to the front to take a look.
"Wait here for a moment, I'll go ask the shopkeeper." After saying this, Madam Han went out to find the shopkeeper.
Han Xu wanted to laugh when he saw his mother was so anxious. He used to think that his mother was gentle and quiet, but after going through all kinds of things, his mother changed. She became stronger, more decisive and less concerned about worldly matters.
Madam Han left quickly and came back quickly, saying happily, "Xu'er, the shopkeeper has agreed. You will come with me later. We must do a good job today. Miss Mu has helped me so much. I am very happy to do something for her."
"Mom, Xu'er will do his best." Seeing his mother so happy here, Han Xu felt even more grateful to Murong Shu.
It was not until the new beauty cream actually started to be sold that Madam Han and Han Xu truly realized the true meaning of popularity. Han Xu was very surprised to see Murong Shu personally come to the scene to diagnose people and match them with suitable beauty creams.
He had not expected that not all young ladies from aristocratic families were confined in the boudoir to learn the rules, and some could go out in public and do what they liked just like men.
"Xu'er, stop being distracted and check all this quickly." Seeing that her son was distracted, Mrs. Han put a stack of account books in front of him. The height of the account books just blocked Han Xu's view.
Han Xu looked at his mother's anxious expression and could only resign himself to speeding up. What a dear mother she was, she had no sense of burden in ordering her son around.
"Madam Han, you come to the counter to help out today!" Song Yanran, who loves to join in the fun, also came to Yinfeng Tower today. After coming in, she didn't see Murong Shu, but unexpectedly saw Madam Han helping out at the counter, so she came over to say hello.
"Good morning, Miss Song. The shopkeeper said he was busy today, so I came here to help. Miss Mu is taking a lady's pulse inside. Do you want to come over, Miss Song?" Madam Han thought Song Yanran was here to look for Murong Shu. She happened to see Murong Shu and a lady go in.
"Shu'er must be busy, so I won't disturb her. I'll go shopping by myself first." Song Yanran knew that Murong Shu was the busiest person today, so she didn't disturb her for the time being.
"Miss Song!" In fact, Han Xu recognized Song Yanran's voice when she just came to greet his mother. It was a bit embarrassing to think about the misunderstanding he had made a few days ago, but he still decided to say hello.
"Hey, Mr. Han, you are here too?" It was not that Song Yanran was surprised, but she was really shocked to see Han Xu here.
"I came to see my mother. I came to help out when I have nothing to do!" Han Xu was a little overwhelmed.
"Shu'er really made a profit. She only asked Madam Han to help, but she didn't expect that she would have to send someone else out for help." Song Yanran joked with Han Xu and Madam Han with a smile.
"Compared to Miss Mu and your life-saving grace, these are nothing!" Madam Han felt at ease to be able to do something for her benefactor.
"Mrs. Han, please don't say that. It is a blessing for Yanran and her cousin to know Mrs. Han. Otherwise, why would they pay a penny and work for two people?"
Song Yanran's words made everyone laugh. Han Xu discovered that this bright and cheerful girl seemed to have a unique charm.
