The person leaving the sedan was none other than Liu Shaonan, the third son of Liu Wenguan, the head of the Ministry of Industry. He came to look for Han Bairen, but he didn't know that Han Bairen had gone to work earlier, so he missed it.
Liu Shaonan walked straight over, and Han You realized that he was coming to the Han Mansion.
Seeing the side door open, Liu Shaonan glanced slightly at Han You and Wang Hai who were squatting next to the stone lion.
Han You said angrily: "What are you doing standing around here? Go pick up the guests."
"How to answer?"
"Call the distinguished guest and invite him inside. You tell me how to pick him up. I'm convinced."
Han You rolled his eyes and walked towards Liu Shaonan.
In fact, it's not the fault of Wang Hai's lack of discernment. The main reason is that Han You didn't make it clear. If he wanted to "welcome guests", Wang Hai would understand.
You must know that after Han Bairen returned to Beijing and took office, many people came here, divided into three categories.
In the first category, when Han Bairen took office, many people wanted to come over to make friends. His father was very disgusted and simply closed the door to thank the guests. Later, he directly told the disciples not to talk to them and pretend not to see them.
In the second category, there was only one old friend, Huang Youwei, the minister of the Ministry of War. Han Bairen was also disgusted and told his disciples not to talk to him.
The third category, those who came to curse were those who were offended by Han Bairen. When they came, they swore. Han Bairen was no longer disgusted and asked his disciples to get sticks while he personally welcomed the guests.
This also led to the fact that anyone who came to Han's house was too lazy to pay attention to him. Han You's words of "picking up guests" made him confused and did not react.
Han You came to Liu Shaonan and cupped his hands like other scholars: "I wonder if this young master is looking for..."
Seeing that Han You was wearing a Confucian robe and was not a servant, Liu Shaonan also cupped his hands, but his tone was stiff.
"Student Liu Shaonan, Mr. Liu, the director of the Ministry of Industry, is my father. He made a special trip to Han Mansion to visit Mr. Han."
"Liu Wenguan's son?" Han You suddenly lost his composure: "My father is not here, he is on an errand."
"Are you Han You, the son of Lord Han?"
"Yes, it's me."
Liu Shaonan looked Han You up and down. If nothing else, his gaze was very impolite. It was like going to a KTV to order a backup singer, with a hint of scrutiny.
"Oh?" Liu Shaonan seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a teasing look on his face: "So you are Young Master Han You, whom I have admired for a long time."
Han You rolled his eyes fiercely. Anyone who had heard of him must not be a real big boss. They were just a bunch of young men. A real big boss would spend all his time wandering around flower boats or wandering around on flowers. Hua Chuan has never heard of his own name.
Liu Shaonan asked: "When will Mr. Han leave?"
"What do you want to do with my father?"
"This is an important matter between elders. You only need to tell me when Mr. Han will leave."
Han You was stunned. Why did this sound so awkward? He felt like he was a generation shorter for no reason.
Those who knew this was Liu Wenguan's son, but those who didn't know thought he was Liu Wenguan's father.
Liu Shaonan raised his legs and was about to walk in: "In that case, I will wait in the living room of the mansion. Mr. Han will send someone to inform him and say..."
"Stop it." Han You interrupted directly: "You are visiting my father. Do you have a greeting card?"
"Of course there is."
After Liu Shaonan finished speaking, the entourage behind him handed over a greeting card.
Han You pursed his lips. Wang Hai still had some discernment. If the servants presented it, his young master would certainly not be able to pick it up. Only his disciples would pick it up.
After Wang Hai took the invitation, Han You said, "Open it and take a look."
"oh."
Wang Hai opened the greeting card, lowered his head and read it word by word.
Liu Shaonan's face looked a little ugly.
You must know that when handing over a greeting card, the servant is required to hand it over to the person in charge of the house, at least the housekeeper. There is no suggestion that the servant should open the greeting card directly.
It was as if the head of Jiapi Gougou of Hejia Village in Goubangzi County made a special trip to the United States to visit the President of the United States. Biden did not welcome him and only asked the Secretary of State to entertain him. This is obviously extremely rude.
Of course Han You knew the "etiquette" involved. He didn't do it on purpose, but on purpose, because he knew what Liu Shaonan was here to do, and he also knew the direction and outcome of the situation after the other party met his father.
Wang Hai raised his head, frowned, and took another deep look at Liu Shaonan.
Han You sneered in his heart. It seemed that there was no sincerity in this greeting note.
Since you will have to break up sooner or later, there is no need to give the other party a good face.
"Although Mr. Liu is a eunuch, he is actually a white..."
Liu Shaonan corrected him: "It's the official queen!"
"Oh, although Mr. Liu is a high-ranking official, he is actually still in white. He bowed to the greeting card in white. He should be very respectful between the lines, Xiaohai, Nian Nian."
Wang Hai glanced at Liu Shaonan, puffed up his chest, and laughed: "I don't know how to read, but I know that you are deliberately disgusting this kid."
Han You was shocked. Did Wang Hai grow up so fast?
Liu Shao was not angry but smiled instead: "The most ridiculous person in the world, a third-grade official, a member of the government who receives greetings, can't even read."
The laughter was harsh, but he was the only one laughing, which was a bit embarrassing.
Liu Shaonan turned back to his entourage and said, "Why are you standing there in a daze? Why don't you laugh at me together?"
The steward in the entourage reminded him in a low voice: "Third Young Master, even the disciples in our house are illiterate."
Liu Shaonan: "..."
This time it was Han You's turn to laugh.
Liu Shaonan's face turned red: "It's ridiculous. I'm here to visit you today, and I'm giving you the full face of the Han Mansion. It doesn't matter that you don't want to enter the Han Mansion. I'd like to inform Mr. Han that I've been here. If today's city If you don't send my brother back to the Liu Mansion before he falls, don't blame me, the Liu family, for being rude."
Han You narrowed his eyes: "Do you have an official status?"
"What does it have to do with you?"
"A jobless vagabond threatens a dignified third-rank official of the country, or is it at the door of my Han mansion that you wake up in the morning and lose your head in bed?"
Liu Shaonan leaned his body forward and said softly: "My surname is Han. I know that your father will not let the fourth brother go."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I am submitting a letter of worship to beg for mercy. However, your Han family is arrogant, domineering and unkind. The Han family does not know how to praise me. In the future, don't blame me, the Liu family, for resorting to thunderous methods."
Han You suddenly realized that the other person in his relationship was just going through the "process".
Beijing naturally has its own rules. There are countless overt and secret fights, and there are also regulations for fighting.
The other party came to submit a greeting card and said all the good things, but the Han family did not give him any face. Then the Liu family would use all kinds of tricks and no one would say "no". Even if the Han family was destroyed and the family was destroyed, others would still say In the beginning, it was the Han government that was to blame.
"We'll see." Liu Shaonan waved his hand: "Tell that old man Han Bairen and let's see how long he will be proud."
"Who do you think is an old man?"
Wang Hai suddenly cursed: "Say it again if you dare."
Liu Shaonan was stunned, as were the followers behind him.
Wang Hai also instantly realized that he was too reckless.
With a "pop" sound, the paper fan blew on Wang Hai's face. Liu Shaonan scolded: "I am talking to your young master, how could you dare to interrupt!"
Han You hugged his arms and seemed to be smiling.
Wang Hai was hit and could only lower his head and say nothing.
He knows the severity, whether this kind of thing is big or small.
No matter how many people Han Bairen offended and what his reputation was, he was still a high-ranking member of the imperial court. When the young master in the mansion was talking to someone, the servants interrupted and cursed, and the news spread. The person who was embarrassed was not him, the servant, but Han Bairen. I don’t know. How many jokes will be made.
To put it mildly, this matter is due to poor discipline, but to put it more seriously, it is because Han Bairen has lost his "virtue". The servants in the house scolded a scholar. You can imagine how arrogant Han Bairen is on weekdays. If he takes it to the court It's not impossible for Tsuna to go online.
There was another "pop" sound, and the paper fan blew on Wang Hai's face for the second time.
Wang Hai gritted his teeth tightly and lowered his head, not daring to say anything anymore. He could only endure it.
"I have gained a lot of knowledge today. There are countless dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital. I have never heard of any palace where the servants are so domineering."
Liu Shaonan raised the paper fan again, looking at Wang Hai's face, but in fact, it was humiliating Han You.
"Why, you're not convinced."
Liu Shaonan was indeed being reasonable and said proudly: "You still don't admit your mistake?"
Wang Hai hurriedly bent down and said with a face full of humiliation: "Young master Liu, there are a lot of young ones. It's just the young ones who are mean-mouthed. If it's not the master and the young master who can't discipline him well, the young ones are vulgar, mean-mouthed and want to be beaten. Mr. Liu has no regrets."
"Pa", for the third time, the paper fan hit Wang Hai's head hard.
Han You finally moved, lifted his robe and squatted down, looking up at Wang Hai who was clenching his teeth, curious and serious.
"I have something to ask Brother Hai, brother, what are you doing here?"
Wang Hai whispered: "Endure."
"Then how long are you going to endure it?"
"Be patient until Young Master Liu loses his temper..."
"Oh, that's right." Han You nodded: "I thought you had to endure it until he beat you to death, and then you turned into a ghost to seek revenge on him."
After finishing speaking, Han You stood up and looked at Liu Shaonan with a smile: "You are white, right? By coincidence, so am I."
Liu Shaonan didn't know why: "What do you mean?"
"Let me make sure first. A white person beating another white person... No, two white people... is not right either. If two common people are fighting and beating each other, does this fall under the jurisdiction of the Jingzhao Mansion?"
Liu Shaonan nodded subconsciously: "It should be."
"That's good, I'm a bit big, please bear with me."
"What's big?"
"strong!"
After finishing his words, Han You suddenly raised his arm like a powerful and heavy force.
Liu Shaonan was caught off guard and was knocked to the ground by the slap. Han You turned around and shouted: "Where have everyone died? I was beaten!"
