'Not just Han Du, if anyone can give me a million dollars every year instead of thinking about asking for money from me all day long. If he wants to change the rules, I will agree.'
Lao Zhu wandered for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Mao Xiang still kneeling on the ground.
Then he said: "I understand, you can go down."
"I obey the order." Mao Xiang replied calmly and retreated. Although Mao Xiang answered calmly, there was a turmoil in his heart.
The Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate jointly impeached Han Du, but the emperor just said "I understand"? If it were someone else facing this situation, even if they tried their best, it would not be possible.
He could save his wealth and life. But if it were Han Du, the emperor would just say "I got it" and forget it.
This is not cover-up, what else could it be?
Mao Xiang let out a long breath, with a look of helplessness. He followed the emperor so far, and even now he still doesn't know if the emperor will protect him like this. But how long has Han Du been able to let the emperor do this?
situation.
The next morning, the Ministry of Rites and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all impeached Han Du.
But Lao Zhu's reaction was very strange. He didn't say a word during the whole process. He just asked someone to accept the impeachment memorial, and nothing more happened.
Several officials who impeached Han Du saw that their memorials had just disappeared into the sea. They also kept silent about the matter and let it be forgotten as time went by.
Today's hundreds of officials are not the same as those after the middle and late Ming Dynasty. In front of Lao Zhu, there would be no official who would say, "If you don't pay attention to me, then I will continue to report until you pay attention, or I will die."
Discourage such thoughts.
To remonstrate to Lao Zhu’s death is really to say that there is only ‘death’ and no ‘remonstration’.
Therefore, all officials stopped mentioning this matter until they understood the emperor's attitude.
Therefore, no official stepped forward to cause trouble for the Jiaofang Secretary.
Han Du didn't know that someone was impeaching him in the imperial court. He had been busy distributing hero invitations in the past few days. Naturally, Grandma Li sent people to distribute the invitations to the wealthy businessmen. As for the invitations to the prince's house, only Han Du
Du went to deliver it in person.
Fortunately, Han Du invited not many princes, namely Xu Da, Li Shanchang, Tang He, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu, and Fu Youde. But these people are still fighting outside, and none of them are here, and Han Du is also here.
I don’t expect anything. It’s just a token invitation because we know each other.
Han Du didn't even send invitations to others he didn't know. Because he didn't have a title, it would be rude to come rashly, even if he was sending invitations.
This saves Han Du the trouble.
It took Han Du a whole day to deliver all the invitations. Since he didn't have much contact with Xu Da, Li Shanchang, and Fu Youde, Han Du just delivered the invitations and left without spending much time. He just stayed at
Tang He, Li Wenzhong, Lan Yu and others stayed for a while and chatted with each other. Especially Lan Yu's wife not only received him in person, but also promised that although it was inconvenient for her to go, she would definitely send a housekeeper.
Seeing this sister-in-law complimenting him so much, Han Du burst into tears of gratitude.
...
The fifteenth day of this month is an auspicious day, everything is suitable, don’t avoid bad luck!
Han Du came to Jiaofangsi early and looked at Grandma Li and others who were ambitious and wanted to make a comeback with this. Handu said in a deep voice: "Today is the day when Jiaofangsi is reborn, and it is also the day when everyone stands in the new world.
It's up to you whether you can become an instant hit or not."
"Excuse me, sir!!!" Grandma Li and others shouted in unison and bowed to Han Du.
Han Du nodded and gave the order, "Start!!!"
After everyone heard this, they immediately walked towards their respective places. Each of them had their own tasks today.
However, as the red sun was rising, the sound of firecrackers began to sound at the gate of Jiaofangsi. Immediately afterwards there was a burst of gongs and drums, and the two teams of lion dances kept jumping, which instantly attracted the attention of the people passing by.
Han Du and Grandma Li were sitting on the third floor, watching more and more people gathering at the door of the Jiaofang Division.
"Sir, there are so many people here now. Our goal can be considered to be achieved today." Aunt Li is very happy. The Jiaofang Division can become famous in an instant, which means that her future life will definitely be better than before.
Much better than that.
The preparations made by the Jiaofang Si for today are not just firecrackers and lion dances, but also various acrobatics. Everything that the people like to watch around the street corner has been invited by the Jiaofang Si today.
It allows people to see from morning till night.
Where did the common people have such an opportunity to feast their eyes on it now? Naturally, no one is willing to leave, and the popularity in front of the Jiaofang Si is growing.
Han Du leaned over the window and saw that on the street in front of the Jiaofangsi, there were dense crowds of people on both sides. He couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "It's not enough."
Isn't this enough?
Grandma Li looked at Han Du in a daze, wondering what should be done.
Han Du ignored her blank look and continued to order: "Have someone move two tables out and put them on the left and right. You ask Yanxue and Xiangxue to stand on the table. Well, just wear cheongsam and high heels. Of course they must
Put on good makeup.”
Han Du now felt annoyed when he thought about it. He should have thought of setting up two tables at the entrance. Fortunately, there is no table now, so two tables can make do.
"Yes." Nanny Li agreed, but did not turn around to make arrangements. Instead, she asked: "Sir, if you have high heels, you can understand it a little bit, but why do you call that dress a cheongsam?"
How do I know why it is called cheongsam? Hasn’t it always been called this way?
"Then what do you think it should be called?"
After hearing this, Grandma Li's eyes lit up, she clenched her fists and said excitedly: "Since the clothes are made by adults, why not call them Hanpao."
Korean robe?
Forget it, Han Du felt panicked when he thought of the Han lady who wanted to steal everything to give him a name.
"That's not right, that's not right, change it."
"Then let's call it Mingpao to show that this is my Ming Dynasty's clothes." Nanny Li thought about it and thought of another name.
"Whatever you want, the most important thing now is to completely build up the reputation of Jiaofangsi. Everything else is not important. Don't mess with these useless things." Han Du waved his hand impatiently and sent Grandma Li away.
Just when the people were watching the lion dance acrobatics with great interest, the gate of the Jiaofang Division, which had been closed for many days, opened with a heavy creaking sound.
But it was so busy now that naturally no one noticed the sound of the door opening, and no one noticed the Jiaofang Secretary opening the door.
It wasn't until the handyman from the Jiaofang Department carried two tables and placed them heavily at the gate that people noticed.
