One hundred and eighty-three chapters come to the door
I saw some hesitation on Han Du's face.
Han De couldn't help scolding: "Yongchang Marquis can be regarded as a life-saving benefactor to our family. In the past, when you made meritorious service and made treasure banknotes, you never visited Yongchang Marquis once, but it makes sense. After all, you have
The emperor's orders are with you, and even if you don't even step on the threshold, it's hard for others to say anything. However, since you have made all the treasures and the emperor has pardoned our family's sins, why don't you hurry up and come to the door?
To thank Marquis Yongchang for his life-saving kindness?"
Han Du understood that his father had yet to say a word. If he didn't hurry up and thank Yongchang Hou now, wouldn't he want society to die?
The Ming Dynasty established the world with filial piety.
What matters most is a person's moral character.
Take being an official as an example. You can be an official even if you have little knowledge. There is no problem. But if your morals are low, then I'm sorry. No matter how knowledgeable you are, the court will not use you.
And how to tell a person's moral character? Handu doesn't know about others, but he knows that if a person doesn't even think about repaying others' life-saving kindness, then this person will definitely be considered by everyone to have low moral character and moral integrity.
low.
Naturally, the only thing that greeted him was social death.
The grace of saving a life is greater than heaven.
Not to mention Han Du taking the initiative to visit Lan Yu, even if Lan Yu made any request to Han Du, as long as it was not excessive, Han Du would have to fulfill it.
"Okay, dad, when I find a chance, I'll come and say thank you." In the end, Han Du couldn't avoid it and agreed.
From Han Du's point of view, even if he didn't want to have much interaction with Yongchang Hou, he still had to come to thank him no matter what.
In this case, Han Du might as well comply with his father's wishes and agree to it.
Unfortunately, Han Du's answer did not satisfy his father.
"What does it mean to wait for an opportunity? It's better to choose a day than to hit it. You will go to Yongchang Marquis tomorrow to visit. Your mother has prepared gifts for you. I have to tell you, you can't delay this matter. The longer you delay, the worse you will become.
There is no sincerity, and the longer you delay, the less polite you become."
Are the gifts ready?
Han Du originally thought that what his father said today was a spur-of-the-moment idea, but now it seems that it was premeditated. Otherwise, how could he have prepared all the gifts in advance?
But Han Du didn't care about these details. Anyway, if you extend your head, it's still a knife, and if you shrink your head, it's still a knife. No matter if you come early or late, you will come sooner or later.
But why do you have to go alone?
"Dad, you are now the head of the family. Wouldn't it be more solemn for you to express your gratitude to Mr. Yongchang?"
Han Du really didn't want to go, and instinctively rejected such a miserable meeting with Lan Yu.
But Han Du can't go, because his father doesn't want to go even more.
"You are now the mainstay of the family. If you don't go, who will? Although I am the head of the family, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is only in name."
The father's face was as frosty as he looked at Han Du deeply.
Han Du smiled a little bitterly when he heard this. Who knows that he is someone else's son? It is only natural that I arrange things for my son. He had no choice but to nod and agreed, "Okay, the kid will go visit Yongchang Marquis tomorrow."
After Han Du agreed with his answer, the coldness on his father's face disappeared.
Early the next morning, Han Du was pulled out of bed by his father himself, and Jing Yun and Hong E were asked to help Han Du dress and wash.
Han Du was sleepy-eyed and dizzy, letting the two of them manipulate him.
"Dad, what are you doing so early? Even if you are going to visit Yongchang Marquis, there is no need to be so early."
Han De glanced at Han Du with disdain and said dissatisfied: "What do you know? If you are visiting a small family like us, the sooner you go, the better. The earlier you show, the more respect you will have for them.
If you arrive late, they may not even let you in."
If nobles like the Marquis of Yongchang are communicating with each other with titles, then just send a message to them in advance, and if the other party agrees, then just come directly to the door at the agreed time.
However, a small family like the Han family is not qualified to send messages to Marquis Yongchang. They can only take the initiative to visit Yongchang Marquis. As for whether Yongchang Marquis will be seen or not, then it is up to Lan Yu's wish.
It is precisely because of this that people in the capital often see a unique phenomenon. That is, there are often a long line of people waiting in line at the door of each prince's mansion. Even the door of some important officials of the imperial court has this kind of phenomenon.
Condition.
These people queuing up are almost trying to curry favor with them by giving them some gifts. If they are lucky, they might be able to meet them.
Han Du complained that his father had picked him up so early, but when he arrived at the gate of Yongchang Houfu, he realized that he didn't come early at all. The people waiting here had already pulled him up.
The door was crowded.
Han Du didn't pay attention to the people crowding at the door, and looked up at the gold-inlaid plaque with the four characters Yongchang Marquis, feeling uncontrollably in his heart.
Han Du understood his father's good intentions. If someone like Han Du, who had just entered the official career, could forge a relationship with Yongchang Hou, it would be of great help to Han Du's future career.
Although Han Du repeatedly stated that he had a good relationship with His Royal Highness, his father still forced Han Du to come here based on the idea of multiple channels and multiple opportunities.
And after all, Marquis Yongchang had a life-saving benevolence for the Han family. It was very reasonable and reasonable for the Han family to come to express their gratitude, and no one could say anything.
But I don’t want to!
Han Du couldn't help but cover his face. Lan Yu looks okay now, and may even have great glory in the future, but 'its prosperity is as strong as its demise', and after the glory is over, there is a bottomless hell.
. Not only did he commit suicide and bring himself close to hell, but he also dragged everyone who had a little relationship with him into hell.
Indecisiveness leads to disaster!
Even if he has to pay a price, Han Du can accept it if he can repay Lan Yu's favor.
Taking a deep breath, Han Du stepped forward, smiled at the guarding soldiers, and said hello: "This military lord, your subordinate Han Du, would like to see the Marquis of Yongchang. I will send a message to you, General Lao."
When the guarding soldiers saw Han Du coming forward, they were still smiling. However, when Han Du finished speaking, the smile on his face quickly faded away without any expression. He said nothing and looked at Han Du expressionlessly.
Han Du was stunned for a moment, then reacted instantly and quickly took out a piece of silver from his sleeve robe and stuffed it into the soldier's hand.
"My lord, you are working hard on guarding. I would like to ask you to take a few sips of wine. Please accept it with a smile."
