There is no need to send it home, they have no intention of walking around with you at all, and they don't even make superficial efforts.

On the opening day, Han Du took his whole family to the racecourse early and asked An Qing to arrange for his parents and Han Shu to enter. He waited at the gate for everyone to arrive.

The first one to arrive was Xu Chengfei, riding a horse, followed by several people. Before he came to Han Du, he got off his horse in advance, threw the reins to the servants aside, and walked towards Han Du with a big smile.

When Han Du saw it, he quickly took the initiative to greet him and said with a smile: "Brother Xu, why are you so polite? We are all brothers who share the same hardships, why do we need to show such a big courtesy."

Xu Chengfei laughed a few times, put aside Han Du's topic, stepped aside, and revealed the person behind him.

He stretched out his hand towards Han Du, turned around and said to this person: "This is the Marquis of Zhenhai. My cousin has been in the capital for many years, so he should have heard of his famous name."

Then he looked back at Han Du, raised his finger and pointed at this person, and introduced to Han Du: "This is our cousin Xu Xin. He has studied in private schools for several years. Although he has not been admitted to the imperial examination, he can still be said to be good.

I can write. I used to be in the capital, helping others write family letters to support my family, but now I am our housekeeper."

Han Du nodded and looked at this person carefully. This cousin of Xu Chengfei's race was exactly the opposite of Xu Chengfei. He looked short and thin, but he really had the posture of a scholar with no power to tie a chicken. His eyes were bright and obviously

He is also a person with a quick mind. He always looks at people with a smile on his face, which makes it easy for others to like him.

When they met for the first time, Han Du also had a good impression of him. After all, you wouldn't hit someone with a smiling face.

Xu Xin suddenly became excited and hurriedly came forward to pay homage: "The reputation of Marquis Zhenhai is as loud as a thunder in my ears. It's better to meet him today than to meet him. I am so lucky in my lifetime!"

As expected, Xu Xin earned his living by writing family letters to others. He was impeccable in his dealings with others, and his attitude toward Han Du was sincere, and there was no trace of fraud at all.

"Steward Xu, nice to meet you." Han Du nodded and met Xu Xin.

"Where, where, the Marquis has promoted the little old man." Xu Xin bowed respectfully to Han Du again, then took a step back, returned to the position behind Xu Chengfei, and stood quietly without saying a word.

Stepping forward to meet Han Du, Xu Xin performed all the etiquette. He stepped back and stood behind Xu Chengfei, as if he was only following Xu Chengfei's lead, and he had a clear understanding of his own identity.

Xu Chengfei turned around and said to Xu Xin: "Since my cousin knows Marquis Zhenhai, in the future when Marquis Zhenhai comes to the house to see us, he can directly let Marquis Zhenhai enter the house without having to report."

"Yes, Lord Marquis." Xu Xin bowed and agreed.

Then, Xu Chengfei waved his hand and signaled to Xu Xin: "Please present the gift list."

Naturally, the person next to Han Du will be responsible for the gift list, so Han Du doesn't have to worry about it. Otherwise, if he is a dignified prince, but he goes to accept other people's gifts, will he lose his identity?

Han Du laughed twice, happily stepped forward to hold Xu Chengfei's hand, and said: "We are very happy if you come here to show your respect. What else do you need to bring? Come on, let's go inside and talk."

"please!"

After Han Du settled Xu Chengfei, he hurriedly came out to prepare for the next arriving noble.

Tang and Tang Ding came hand in hand, and Lan Yu also came not long after. Then, the people who came became more dense. Cao Zhen, Zhang Yi, Wang Bi and others came one by one. Fu Youde also rushed after these people.

coming.

To Han Du's surprise, Cao Xing, the Marquis of Huaiyuan, Zhang Wen, the Marquis of Huining, Chen Huan, the Marquis of Puding, and Sun Ke, the Marquis of Quaning, also came in person.

Other nobles who did not come in person also sent butlers to send back gifts.

Just when Han Du estimated that it was almost time and no one would come anymore, Zhu Biao came with a group of people beaming.

Han Du was shocked when he saw it and hurried forward to greet him.

"I, Han Du, pay homage to His Highness the Crown Prince. I am late to welcome you, so please forgive me."

"Humph, you are indeed late. You didn't even send anyone to inform Gu Yiyi of such a big matter." Although Zhu Biao's tone was unkind, the smile on his face did not weaken at all. He was obviously teasing Han Du.

Han Du was embarrassed when he heard this. He had not planned to invite Zhu Biao, but he did not expect that he would come on his own initiative after hearing the news. The reason why he did not invite Zhu Biao was because sooner or later, this racecourse would become a place for enjoyment. If he

If Zhu Biao is invited, everyone will definitely know what kind of place the racecourse is.

At that time, if Lao Zhu feels that he has corrupted Zhu Biao and failed to lead him in a good direction, what should he do if he wants to settle accounts with himself?

"Your Highness is unaware that this racecourse is also a place for wanton pleasure, so it is natural for me not to invite Your Highness to come." Han Du explained with a stern expression.

How could this be a place of pleasure? Shouldn't the place of pleasure be Jiaofangsi and those brothels?

Zhu Biao raised his eyes and glanced around, but there was no place in this wilderness that looked like a place of enjoyment.

"Stop talking nonsense, do you want to drive me out now that I'm here?"

"I don't dare, I don't dare. Your Highness can come, and I cannot ask for it. Your Highness please come first!" Han Du stepped aside and stretched out his hand to signal Zhu Biao to come in.

When you reach the highest loft, you have a commanding view of the entire racecourse. There is also a large viewing platform, which is perfect for watching horse racing.

When Zhu Biao entered, Tang He took the lead and stood up, and everyone bowed to Zhu Biao.

"I am waiting to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"No gifts, no gifts." Zhu Biao smiled and gave a little help to everyone.

"Thank you, Your Highness." After receiving Zhu Biao's signal, everyone stood up.

In order to dispel everyone's concerns, Zhu Biao even said: "There are no princes or princes here today. Since you are all here by invitation, let's have fun."

"Thank you, Your Highness," everyone replied with a smile.
