Seeing 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 still had something to say. If you don’t hurry up and thank Yongchang Hou now, do you 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 still be an official even if you have little knowledge. There is no problem with that. But if your morals are low, then sorry, no matter how knowledgeable you are, the court will not use you.
And how to see a person's moral character? Han Du didn't know anything else, but he knew that if a person doesn't even think about repaying others' life-saving kindness, then this person will definitely be considered by everyone to be of low character and low morals.
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 do you mean by waiting for an opportunity? It's better to catch the day than to wait for 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 etiquette you seem to understand."
Are the gifts ready?
Han Du originally thought that his father's words today were impromptu, but now it seems that they were premeditated. Otherwise, how could it be possible to prepare all the gifts in advance?
But Han Du didn't care about these details. Anyway, if he extended his head, it would be a knife, and if he retracted his head, it would still be a knife. No matter you come early or late, you have to come sooner or later.
But why do you have to go alone?
"Dad, you are the head of the family now. Wouldn't it be more solemn for you to thank Mr. Yongchang?"
Han Du really didn't want to go, and instinctively rejected such a miserable meeting with Lan Yu.
But Han Du couldn't go, because his father didn't want to go even more.
"You are the backbone of the family now. 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 knew he was someone else's son? It is only natural that I arrange things for my son to do. He had no choice but to nod and agree, "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 a small family like us is going to visit, the earlier the better, the earlier the more respect we have for others. If you arrive late, they may not even let you in."
Nobles like the Marquis of Yongchang, if everyone has a title, interacts with each other. Then send a message in advance, and if the other party agrees, then you can just go to the door at the appointed time.
But a small family like the Han family is not qualified to send posts to Yongchang Hou. He can only take the initiative to visit him. As for whether Yongchang will see him or not, it will be 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 always a long line of people waiting in line at the door of each prince's mansion. This happened even at the door of some important officials of the imperial court.
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 had not arrived early at all. People waiting here have already crowded the door.
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 understands his father's good intentions. If a person like Han Du, who has just entered the official career, can forge a relationship with Yongchang Hou, it will be of great help to Han Du's future career.
Although Han Du repeatedly stated that he had a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, 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 looked okay now, and would even have infinite glory in the future, but 'its prosperity is as fast as its demise', and after the glory, there is a bottomless hell. . Not only did he commit suicide and bring himself closer 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, Han Du, a junior officer, would like to see the Marquis of Yongchang. Please send a message to the military lord Lao."
The guarding soldiers were still smiling when they saw Han Du coming forward, but 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."
