Men and children, never shirk the things that should be responsible, whether it is their own business or other people's business, if they feel that they should take responsibility, then, they will take responsibility, no matter how sinister the future is, difficult, or even doomed to failure, as long as they have the courage to take responsibility, they will always be looked down upon when they live.

The meaning of the words "unshirkable" will only be understood by those who have the courage to take responsibility.

Li Su had saved Hou Junji twice, and this time, he once again took on the grievances of the Hou family, but this time it was no longer purely for others, and it had some benefits.

After all, Li Su is just Hou Junji's friend, not his father......

From the day the Li family stood in front of the gate of the Hou family, it meant that Li Su officially announced to the subjects of Chang'an City that the Hou family was guarded by the Li family, and if the Hou family's grudge came to the door, the Li family would be responsible for resolving it.

This very obvious signal apparently scared off many people, including An Pinghou.

After all, the Li family is now a wealthy and powerful family, and if anyone wants to go to the Hou family to seek revenge, they must first weigh their own strength to see if they are qualified to be enemies of the Li family.

Today, with Li Su's identity rising, there are not many people in Chang'an City who can afford to provoke Li Su. Of course, the eldest grandson Wuji is counted as one, and it is said that he is still the backer behind Anping Hou.

However, when Li Su put the whole thing on the table openly, the eldest grandson family was silent and did not react.

The reaction of the eldest grandson's family was normal, and it was expected by Li Su.

Li Su's approach can be said to be very arrogant, he has learned a lot from Cheng Yanjin, knowing that the Hou family has a lot of enemies, and the Li family wants to protect the Hou family, so he simply drove the horse in a bright way, and it is okay to seek revenge, come to the door by himself, no matter how many people come, we will fight at the door of the Hou family. Anyway, Li Su still has the reputation of a "Chang'an little bastard", and you don't have to care about your face when you fight, if you are a peer in the shameless world like me, you are welcome to seek revenge, and you will definitely be accompanied by this trip.

Such a scoundrel posture is put out, but all the powerful people who have a little bit of face are embarrassed to make another move, and the eldest grandson Wuji, as the prime minister above 10,000 people under one person, and the Guan Longmen valve, who cherishes feathers very much, is naturally even more embarrassed to help Anping Hou come out. What's more, everyone in the world knows that Hou Junji has been exiled, and the Hou family is already full of women and children.

Therefore, since the Li family was on duty at the gate of the Hou family, the eldest grandson family and the Anping Hou family have been calm and have not reacted.

Because of Li Su's action, the Hou family finally kept the peace, and the family lived in a small house, and under the control of the Hou Fang's family, it was also peaceful.

***********************************************************

Three days later, Hou Junji's eldest son, Hou Jie, came to Taiping Village.

Hou Jie came on the orders of his mother, Hou Fang, to thank Li Su.

Li Su was very enthusiastic this time, knowing that the Hou family was already poor, he still went out to greet him personally, to be honest, for so many years, Li Su was the first time to greet a guest without any utilitarianism.

Hou Jie is very knowledgeable about etiquette, although the Hou family is poor, he still brought gifts to the door.

The value of the gifts is very low, they are all flowers, birds, insects and fish sewn and embroidered by the women and children of the Hou family at home, as well as a basket of green vegetables grown in their own vegetable field, and the thin and shabby gift burden is placed in the middle of the courtyard, Hou Jie's face is a little confused.

"Brother Zizheng forgives his sins, it is really inconvenient for the family, so I have to do my best to send some worthless things, the foolish brother knows that it is very shabby, just ask Brother Zizheng not to be angry, if you can't look at these things, please wait for the foolish brother to say goodbye and then throw away the ......"

Li Su glanced at him and said with a smile: "I found that Brother Hou Xian seems to like crowding people very much, if you say this, I will be embarrassed even if I want to throw it away, the Hou family is already in such a situation, I don't know?" Why grit your teeth and give gifts? Is it fun to slap a swollen face and fill a fat person? ”

Hou Jie smiled bitterly: "The foolish brother doesn't want to give it away, I may still have a bit of a shelf from the Guogong Mansion in front of outsiders, but is it necessary for me to save face in front of Brother Zizheng?" It's just that today's thin gifts are ordered by the mother to be sent, the mother said, although the Hou family has been defeated, but it is not a person who does not know the number of etiquette, there should be a rule of thanks, Brother Zizheng helped the Hou family through the disaster, if you come to thank you empty-handed, it is the Hou family is not educated, but the Hou family is poor, and there is only this thing that can take out your hand. ”

Li Su was stunned for a long time, then sighed, bowed in the direction of Chang'an City, shook his head and sighed: "Aunt Hou is really a heroine, with her alone, the Hou family will not collapse no matter what danger it encounters. ”

Hou Jie was slightly moved, and when Li Su finished saluting, Hou Jie suddenly knelt down in front of Li Su, Li Su was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, but Hou Jie refused to get up, and said emotionally: "Before the foolish brother came, my mother also said that there are no righteous people in Chang'an City, there are many people in the world who fall into the well, and there are few people who send charcoal in the snow. Today, Hou Jie's parents are in the high hall and full of women and children, the old and weak, and thank Brother Xie Zizheng for the great grace of supporting the Hou family. ”

After Hou Jie finished worshipping, he got up and waved at Li Su again: "Originally, the great favor should not be thanked, but now the Hou family, except for thanks, there is no long thing to repay, if my father is in good luck, can wait until the pardon is returned to Beijing, the Hou family will definitely have a good reward." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "That is in the future, Brother Hou Xian, rest assured, General Hou will have a day of transshipment." ”

Hou Jie smiled bitterly, everyone knew that Hou Jun was involved in rebellion, even if the emperor was gracious and granted amnesty to the world, it was impossible to forgive him by forgiving anyone, and the crime of great rebellion would never come out, so Li Su's words were just a meaningless words of comfort in Hou Jie's ears.

Li Su looked at Hou Jie's expression, couldn't help but smile slightly, didn't explain anymore, turned around and invited Hou Jie to sit in the front hall. Then he turned his head and instructed Steward Xue to set up a banquet, and ordered the embroidered silk brought by Hou Jie to be sent to the inner courtyard to his wife, so that the maids in the inner courtyard could make pillows, and the green vegetables brought by him were ordered to be washed and picked immediately and made into vegetable soup.

Hou Jie was stunned and immediately showed a touched expression.

Silently, Li Su gave him the most decent respect.

…………

Entering the front hall, the guests and hosts sat down, the maids quickly put on the wine and food, the two of them each according to a case, respect each other and drink, Li Su talked about some idle and interesting things in Chang'an City, but Hou Jie didn't know anything, a question Fang knows, since Hou Junji was removed from the lord and exiled, the gentlemen who were messing with the children of the Hou family have gradually broken off contact, once lost power, the court was cold, this year, the Hou family has tasted the heat and coldness of the world from top to bottom.

Li Su sighed secretly, the fate of the Hou family made him more vigilant, "Be prepared for danger in times of peace, think about being prepared", if you don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Hou family, and don't let your family and wife live this kind of tumultuous life, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, don't take a wrong step, the higher you stand, the farther away from the ground, the more painful it will be if you fall, the Hou family is a living negative teaching material.

Hou Jie took a cup of wine and drank the wine in the cup, breathed a long sigh of relief, with a comfortable expression on his face, and sighed quietly: "I haven't drunk the liquor brewed by Brother Zizheng for many days, the family is declining, my mother has cut all unnecessary expenses, and no one is allowed to drink this wine anymore, and the foolish brother hasn't tasted wine for almost a year." ”

Li Su said with a smile: "When I go back, I will bring ten altars, just a cup of things, and I don't need to look like life is just like the first time I saw it, it's weird." ”

Hou Jie laughed twice and hurriedly thanked him.

After three rounds of drinking, Li Su knocked on the table, suddenly lowered his voice, and said, "Brother Hou Xian, have you ever thought that maybe your father can really get an amnesty and return to Beijing?" ”

Hou Jie was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head with a self-deprecating wry smile: "Brother Zizheng, don't make trouble, what my father has done, you know better than me, I heard my father say that if it weren't for Brother Zizheng taking the risk to protect it, the Hou family would have been beheaded all over the house, and he could get an end of exile in Qiongnan and not asking his relatives, all thanks to Brother Zizheng's kindness, do you think His Majesty may pardon him?" ”

Li Su said with a smile: "General Hou is indeed at fault, but you remember, 'wrong', not 'guilty', there is a difference between the two, when he rebelled against Li Chengqian, General Hou did not mobilize a single soldier, let alone help the abuse, did not kill a soldier defending the city, especially in the end, he also persuaded several generals to unload their troops and abandon their armor in the killing array, and kneel in front of the Taiji Palace with their hands tied to ask for guilt. Confused for a while' is the most appropriate way to describe it, after so long, no matter how big the anger in His Majesty's heart has almost disappeared, now His Majesty is especially happy to recall the past, thinking about those heroes from the dragon back then, so there is a matter of setting up a portrait of meritorious heroes, if your father wants to get a pardon to return to Beijing, now is the right time. ”

Hou Jie was stunned when he heard this, looked at Li Su in disbelief, and said with a slight tremor in his voice: "What Brother Zizheng said...... Really? ”

Li Su leaned over with a serious face, and said with a straight face: "Look at my face seriously, tell me, what do you see from my face?" ”

Hou Jie froze, and only after a moment did he hesitate to say, "What...... What the? ”

"Integrity, melon cowardice!" Li Su glanced at him: "I've been talking about it for a long time with a dry mouth, just to tease you?" ”

Hou Jie was stunned for a while, his expression gradually surfaced with extreme surprise, and his breathing became heavy unconsciously: "Brother Zizheng...... Can you really help my father get His Majesty's pardon? ”

Li Su said slowly: "Yes, but I need to lay out, and moreover, I also need the cooperation of you and Aunt Hou, if this matter can be done, your father will not only be able to get His Majesty's pardon, but even continue to lead the troops and go to the Western Regions." ”

Hou Jie became more and more confused: "Western Regions? ”

"Yes, the Western Regions Yanqi King Long Tuqi rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, cut off the Silk Road, looted and slaughtered past merchants, don't you know? Your father, General Hou, has experience in conquering the Western Regions, and is the most suitable person to go to the Western Regions, and if Your Majesty can pardon your father, I believe he will not mind recovering your father again and letting him lead the army to the expedition. ”
