Han Du didn't care that the naval talisman was taken away. After a good sleep, he was about to go out for a walk.
Before he could go out, he was blocked by Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei.
"What are you trying to do?" Han Du looked at the two of them in confusion and glanced at them a few times in confusion. These two people don't live in the same direction. How could they come together? Did they negotiate this?
Seeing Han Du looking around the two of them with a strange expression, Tang Ding guessed what Han Du was thinking, so he smiled and explained: "We happened to meet on the road, and I came to see you whenever I asked. So we came together."
Han Du clicked his tongue, glanced at the two of them in circles, and deliberately teased: "You two have just been granted the title of marquis. If you are not rushing to deal with the relatives who are visiting you, why do you have time to come to me? Especially you. Tang Ding, Xinguo Gongfu, a duke and a marquis were both glorious in the world, and now they have unlimited glory."
Tang Ding glared at Han Du, not wanting to talk to him. Yes, Duke Xin's mansion is indeed very beautiful now, but don't think that Tang Ding doesn't know it. This is called flowers cooking oil with brocade fire. What the Xinguo Palace needs now is low-key, not excitement.
What made Tang Ding helpless was that Duke Xinguo's mansion wanted to keep a low profile, but people who were related to him didn't think so. In their view, after Xu Da passed away, although he was crowned king, the power of the Duke of Wei had become less powerful day by day. The same was true for the Kaiping Palace, which even declined earlier than the Duke Palace of Wei. But now there is only the Xinguo Duke's Mansion, with a family of princes and princes standing side by side, which can be said to be the first family under the royal family. How could this not attract the attention of those who wanted to take advantage of the power of the Duke of Xinguo to make profits?
Since he couldn't avoid it, Tang He simply sent Tang Ding away and let him, an old man, face those vampire evil spirits who wanted to gain benefits.
Xu Chengfei even smiled bitterly, shook his head, and sighed: "I'm not afraid of being laughed at by you. Before this, I didn't know that I had so many relatives. Many of them I had never heard of since I was a child, let alone seen them. .”
The people who were originally excited about being granted the title of Marquis were actually forced to leave their homes to escape from the people who came to congratulate them.
The two of them were in such a dilemma that Han Du burst into laughter. Pointing at Xu Chengfei, he said: "It's called, when you are poor in the busy city, no one asks, and when you are rich, you have distant relatives in the mountains. When you are unknown on weekdays, there are only a few people around, and no one will ever come to ask you how to say hello. But once you become prosperous, you will You will find that you are not alone in this world, and you have so many relatives."
"Who says it's not the case?" Tang Ding couldn't help but sighed and shook his head when he thought of the scene of his house being surrounded by people.
Looking back at Han Du, Tang Ding said with a smile: "Speaking of the matter of being granted the title of Marquis, we have all benefited from you. No, we just happened to meet today, so we will be the host. Please give me a favor. I accept your love."
Xu Chengfei also had the same thought. He looked at Han Du with longing eyes, fearing that Han Du would not agree. Xu Chengfei's family knew about his family affairs, and Tang Ding was okay. After all, he had been in the army for many years and had made many military exploits. The reason why he had never been granted a title was simply because he had the title of Duke of Xinguo for him to inherit. This time, I don’t know what the emperor was thinking, but he made Tang Ding a marquis for the first time.
As for Xu Chengfei himself, in addition to guarding the banknote bureau in the past, this was the only time he could be credited with following Han Dubei's expedition. The reason why he can
The main reason why he was granted the title of Marquis was because Han Du attributed a large amount of credit for this expedition to him, even greater than Tang Ding's credit.
After all, Han Du never thought that Lao Zhu would make Tang Ding a marquis.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go? I'm just going to play today." To their surprise, Han Du was even more impatient than them.
The three of them walked side by side on the street. They were all dressed in marquis robes, so even people who didn't know the three of them stayed away from them.
If ordinary people collide with nobles, they will be punished.
Listening to the two of them complaining about the people who came to congratulate them along the way, Han Du felt bursts of happiness.
Xu Chengfei was doing better. Most of the people congratulating him were his former relatives, and the number was not too large.
The Duke of Xinguo's Mansion is completely different. Not only are they relatives of the clan, but there are also more people who want to take this opportunity to gain connections with the Duke of Xinguo. There are also many people who have a good relationship with the Duke of Xinguo. expensive.
Among the nobles, there are high and low, some are prosperous, and some have begun to decline. Most of the honorable nobles who are eager to visit are already in decline.
People like the Han family are not in a hurry at all. Because Han Du knew without even thinking that there must be a lot of traffic at the entrance of Duke Xinguo's Mansion. Maybe he went by himself now. Tang He was too busy to pay attention to himself.
Why join in the fun? After a few days, after the excitement subsided, Tang He was even happier when he visited again.
Maybe just giving some simple gifts can make Tang He remember Han Du's friendship. And those who are eager to visit may have given priceless things, but it is almost impossible for Tang He to remember them.
So, does giving gifts have any effect? have! But the effect is limited. Instead of focusing on how to give gifts, it is better to focus on improving yourself and increasing your weight. Only when you have enough weight can you truly gain respect. And blindly groveling will not win respect.
Due to the small talk, Han Du did not notice where Tang Ding took him. Anyway, Han Du believed in Tang Ding, so he would definitely not take him to sell him.
But after hearing Tang Ding speak softly, Han Du raised his head and saw the plaque on the door in front of him, and suddenly felt that Tang Ding had no good intentions.
"Jiaofangsi!"
Han Du's face was a little stiff and he looked at Tang Ding in confusion, "Why did you bring me here?"
"What else do you think you can do? Drinking, of course." Tang Ding said with a smile, and before Han Du could speak, he quickly said, "You haven't been to Jiaofangsi for a long time, right? Let me tell you, there are There is a change, and drinking is a great thing.”
Han Du rolled his eyes at Tang Ding. You Zi didn't believe what he said and said, "Drinking. Can't you drink at the Seafood Restaurant? The wine here is the same as the one at the Seafood Restaurant. What's so special about it?"
In fact, Han Du had something else to say: Whether it was the wine from the Seafood Restaurant or the Jiaofang Division, it was all supplied by his own house. If he had known this, it would be better to drink at home.
"It's different, it's different. You'll know when you go in and drink." As he said that, Han Du couldn't help but tell him, and Tang Ding pulled Han Du into the Jiaofang Division.
As soon as Han Du entered the door, he was spotted by the sharp-eyed Granny Li.
.
Today, Grandma Li is wearing a red robe. The bright red color is very bright. In addition, she is stepping on special high heels. With every step she takes, Pingting's graceful figure is swaying. She doesn't look like a woman in her thirties at all, but more like a girl in her twenties.
Like a large handful of red roses, they were blown in front of Han Du with a fragrant wind.
"Master Marquis, if you haven't come to see us old subordinates for so long, have you forgotten the younger ones a long time ago?" Aunt Li deliberately looked up at Han Du, her eyelids with long eyelashes blinking. He spoke in a long, drawn-out tone, as if his heart was twisting and turning.
"Isn't this prince here?" Han Du said expressionlessly when facing his former subordinates.
Now that he's here, Han Du has nothing to avoid. Anyway, it's not his first time coming to Jiaofangsi. Many of the people here are acquaintances. What should he be afraid of?
"It's rare for Mr. Hou to show his kind support. Today, I will give Mr. Hou free of charge." Seeing that teasing Han Du didn't get the effect she wanted, Aunt Li put away her expression and returned to her capable demeanor as a Jiaofang Si Aunt. Out of apology to Han Du, she proposed to give Han Du free of charge as an apology.
Han Du saw the changes in Grandma Li, and the familiar feeling returned. To be honest, Han Du was a little instinctively repulsed by Nanny Li's sultry behavior just now. Although Grandma Li is also a great beauty, and perhaps in the eyes of ordinary people, her figure just now is very tempting, but Han Du always feels that she is a little out of place with the capable and shrewd Grandma Li she knew in the past.
"What a joke, do I still need you for free?" Han Du said with a smile.
Aunt Li's expression stiffened when she heard this. If she hadn't clearly seen that Han Du didn't look angry at all, she would have thought that she had offended Han Du.
"Besides, there are already people doing business today, so there is no need for you to give them money." Han Du stretched out his hand and pointed towards Tang Ding and Xu Chengfei, indicating that someone was paying.
Grandma Li knew Tang Ding. The reason why she didn't come up to greet him just now was because Han Du was standing in front. Now seeing Han Du's signal, he quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face and said, "I've met the young master."
Tang Ding nodded slightly to Grandma Li, as if he had seen her before.
Although Grandma Li didn't know Xu Chengfei, she didn't dare to neglect him if he could come with Han Du. Besides, he was also a marquis. "I have met this prince."
"Xu Chengfei, Marquis Kuang Yi." Seeing that Nanny Li didn't recognize him, Han Du introduced her.
Grandma Li immediately climbed up the pole and said to Xu Chengfei with a bright smile: "Master Hou, please come to support me more often in the future."
When Xu Chengfei saw Han Du, he introduced him to Grandma Li by his first and last name, not knowing that this person must have an unusual relationship with Han Du. He nodded slightly and said jokingly: "I have heard for a long time that Jiaofang Sijing City's number one gold-selling house is famous. Today, it was because of Brother Tang that I was able to meet him. If you want to come here often, I am afraid that my pocket will not agree."
"Ouch~ Look, the Marquis said that we are greedy for money. We are all acquaintances. Isn't it rare that I can accept the high price from the Marquis?" Aunt Li stepped forward with a sweet smile and grabbed Xu Chengfei's arm. Spread a correction.
Indeed, it was impossible for her to charge a high price to an acquaintance like Xu Chengfei, but she had not guaranteed that other chapters of the Jiaofang Division would not charge a high price to Xu Chengfei.
