It's night.

Inside the Hou Mansion.

Hou Junji was imprisoned for his crimes, and the Hou Mansion, which was originally Xuanhe, is now deserted and deserted.

Today's Hou family no longer has the slightest atmosphere of a top-level prince.

Although the portal is large, it gives people a sense of decay.

It seems that an ordinary Chang'an native, at most, lives a better life than the common people.

Da-da-da.

Hou Junji, supported by his wife Liu, slowly walked into the courtyard.

"This ......"

He looked at the weeds in the garden and the dust on the beams, and couldn't help but say,

"Why is it so desolate?"

"Is there no one to clean and maintain?"

Liu shook his head a little sadly, and said in a low voice:

"Where is there still someone cleaning? The servants and maids in the house have long been dismissed, and only a few loyal ones still insist on staying at home. ”

"A big family has to take care of, where can I take care of those flowers and plants? Those furniture and beams can be cleaned once every three to five days, which is considered good, and naturally it is not as bright as it was at the beginning. ”

Hou Junji fell silent.

He walked into the hall and asked:

"What about my inheritance? And the house that I bought in the early years, what about those things? ”

"With them, there is still no shortage of money, right? Won't you dismiss all the servants and slaves? ”

Liu's eyes turned red.

"You forgot...... Our Hou family, was it raided? ”

She trembled,

"Not to mention what kind of property and mansion, even the valuable antique calligraphy and paintings in the house have been looted away, and the rest are some broken furniture."

"Just this mansion, or the emperor's extrajudicial kindness, let us have a place to stay, otherwise...... I can't stay in Chang'an, our family ...... I'm going to have to go out and beg for food......"

Hou Junji looked shocked.

Fists clenched slightly. But in the end, it can only be loosened.

"Good...... All right. ”

He whispered,

"I've suffered you, I've suffered you......"

"Now...... What do you live on? ”

Liu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and said:

"The emperor didn't copy it too ruthlessly, and I left some private money that was not looted."

"In the past two years, I have lived on this private money, and now the money is running out, and I don't know how to live my life......"

"In the past two days, I have been planning to let a few loyal servants in my family go out to be buddies, or start a small business to make ends meet...... We people can't show our heads, otherwise, I'll go too......"

A word, the road is desolate.

As the wife of a convict, it's good that she hasn't been beaten into the workshop.

If you want to maintain this home, you can only rely on private money, and it is difficult to open source, so you can only throttle.

Until now, he even has to rely on a few slaves in the family!

How is it so bitter?

"Heh, hehehehe......"

"I'm Hou Junji, it's really a good mallet! What's the use of me getting that much money! What's the use! ”

Hou Junji sneered, and suddenly stomped his foot!

Bang!

This kick, with his remorse and secret hatred!

What's the use of having more family property and racking your brains to collect money?

A copy of the family order, copy it cleanly!

Half a horse, many years of fighting...... but he returned as a prisoner.

He has been in this life...... What a life!

What a failure in life!

Thinking of this, Hou Junji was already sour in his nose, and two lines of tears fell.

"Okay, okay, don't cry......"

When Liu saw him crying, he comforted him,

"After all, it was the emperor's grace to let you come back, even if it was just for a day."

"I told someone to go grocery shopping, you are suffering in the prison, look at your skinny ...... Today I'm going to make a few meat dishes and have a good meal. ”

"I'll soak your feet at night, get a good night's sleep, and go back to heaven tomorrow with dignity......"

After hearing the words, Hou Junji became more and more sour.

"I really don't want to go back to that hellish place!"

He gritted his teeth and said,

"The emperor wants to let me go, but he is afraid of that Xu Fenglei!"

"Damn, I don't believe it, you can go on forever! When everyone loses power, you wait, as long as Lao Tzu doesn't die...... You wait for me! ”

Hou Junji's hatred is all in Xu Fenglei alone!

The way I look now, as well as the embarrassment of my family, are all due to Xu Fenglei!

Otherwise, with his identity as a dragon hero, no matter how corrupt he is, he will not be able to get to such a field!

"That's it! Stop talking nonsense! ”

Liu glanced at it with disgust, turned to look at the slave beside him, and ordered,

"Girl, you go to my cabinet and take two strings of money, and then go to the market to buy some mutton, this time buy more."

"There are others, I also look at and buy some, why do you have to eat four dishes and one soup at night."

"Yes, ma'am." The handmaid turned and departed.

Hou Junji sneered.

"Huh...... Four dishes and one soup, I back then, ten dishes and one soup were still too little. ”

He laughed at himself,

"You too...... When did you become so polite to the maid? Calling her is like calling your own daughter. ”

Liu shook his head.

"You may not like to hear it, but now, I have to rely on them...... You're welcome? ”

She sighed softly,

"Besides, they are indeed loyal, after all, they were public maids, and they lived a better life than ordinary young ladies."

"Now, they are really cows and horses, and they have to serve me, Yu'er, and cook on fire, and one person is ...... three people."

Hou Junji bowed slightly.

"If I make a comeback in the future, I will repay him!"

He said in a deep voice,

"You just said Yu'er...... What is Hou Yu doing now? Did he fall behind in his homework? ”

When Liu Shi heard this question, he couldn't help but sigh heavily, and the whole person seemed to be a few years older.

"What's wrong?"

Hou Junji's heart sank and asked,

"He's out of trouble?"

Hou Yu is his eldest son, and he is very clever.

I have high hopes for him!

Now, I haven't seen him for two years, and I don't know ...... this kid

"He ......"

Liu was about to speak, but saw the maid hurriedly running in.

"Madam, the money in the cupboard is gone!"

She said,

"Over there in the young master's wing, there is a smell of smoke!"

Groov!

Liu Shi got up abruptly and said angrily:

"This rebel! He's stealing my money again to go smoking! ”

"That money is the money to buy meat for his father! Without this money, let's drink the northwest wind as a family! ”

"Let's go...... Look for him! I'm going to be, I'm going to be! ”

With that, she had already walked out of the hall quickly.

Hou Junji's face sank like water, and he also kept up quickly.

East Wing.

Before the person arrived, a choking smell of smoke wafted over.

Syllable!

Liu slammed open the door of the wing!

I saw a young man lying on the bed, squinting his eyes and swallowing the clouds.

"Hou Yu!"

Liu said angrily,

"You rebel! Are you stealing my money to buy cigarettes again! ”

"You, you didn't know your father was coming back today! You don't know that he has nothing to eat in prison, so he has to come back and have a good meal! ”

"You...... Stop! ”

The more she spoke, the more angry she became, and she stepped forward quickly, about to snatch the cigarette from Hou Yu's hand.

"What are you doing?"

Hou Yu tore away his mother's hand and scolded,

"Don't touch Lao Tzu's cigarette!"

"The money is spent, it's spent, it's going to be spent anyway! For that old thing, you might as well buy me a cigarette to smoke! ”

", don't bother me, I'm annoyed!"

A word, extremely disrespectful! Hearing this, Liu became more and more angry, and even his chest began to ache!

And Hou Junji is even more eye-catching!

"Brute! How did you talk to your mother! ”

He stepped forward suddenly, grabbed Hou Yu's collar, and shouted,

"Who told you to smoke this! You don't know how to learn! ”

"I have high hopes for you, Hou Yu, you have disappointed me too much! Do you still look like a human being? ”

Hou Yu in Hou Junji's eyes, that is simply a ruffian gangster! It's even worse than that!

This rotten appearance made him so angry that his teeth itched!

"You let go!"

Hou Yu tugged suddenly, almost knocking Hou Junji down!

The former fierce general, because of two years of malnutrition, has no strength, and now he can't even control his son!

"If you don't learn and don't know how to do it, you have high hopes? Shao Te's mother's fart! ”

Hou Yu took a puff of cigarette and said coldly,

"With a father like you, everything I learn is in vain!"

"Can I still be an official? Can I still get ahead? I have to cover my face even when I go out, for fear that others will recognize me as Hou Junji's son! ”

"Shame! Shame on you, you know! ”

"Old thing...... Let me tell you, Lao Tzu has nothing to do but smoke now! It's just pumping, and it's comfortable for a while! Pumped to death and pulled down! ”

"You're all right, go back to the prison! What an eyesore at home! ”

Hou Junji: "!! ”

For a moment, Hou Junji only felt that his depression rushed straight to the Tianling Gai!

It's frustration, not anger!

When people are extremely angry, they don't get angry, but like him, they can't slow down in one breath, and they can die of anger!

"You! You...... You brute, you rebel! ”

"I ...... I'll kill you, I'll kill you! ”

Hou Junji made a ho-ho sound from his mouth, and his hands violently wrapped around Hou Yu's neck, about to strangle him to death!

"Hou Yu! How did you talk to your dad! He's your father! ”

"Apologize to your father, apologize to him!"

Liu was also anxious and scolded loudly.

She is used to her son's recklessness and disrespectful words, after all, she also feels a little guilty in her heart.

But she didn't expect Hou Yu to talk to his father like this!

Is this what a son says to his father?

Even beasts, not like this!

"Let him strangle me! Come on, come on, strangle me! ”

"Anyway, I don't want to live for a long time, this life is not interesting at all, I am really unlucky to be the son of the two of you!"

Hou Yu closed his eyes and stopped struggling directly,

"Hurry up, give it a good time! Hurry up and kill me. ”

"I beg you to die, anyway, this life is also given by you, just give it back to you, I don't want to come to this hellish place!"

Hou Junji pinched Hou Yu's neck fiercely!

But when he heard these words, his hands stiffened, and at this moment, he seemed to have no strength anymore.

"I, I...... Belch! ”

Hou Junji rolled his eyes and fell back.

"Sir! Sir! ”

Liu cried and hugged Hou Junji's body, and said eagerly,

"Hou Yu, come and hold on to your father!"

"Hurry!"

When Hou Yu heard this, he just turned his neck and glanced at him indifferently.

"Mother, in fact, it's better for him to die."

He said,

"If we die, our lives may be better, better than living with our tails between our legs every day."

"Huh."

After saying a few words, Hou Yu didn't look at Hou Junji anymore, turned around and left.

"You rebel!"

Liu couldn't cry, but his hand couldn't support Hou Junji, so he could only fall to the ground with him.

Bang!

The couple fell to the ground, and there was still a puff of smoke in the house.

Fortunately, the movement here attracted a few remaining domestic servants.

They helped Hou Junji up, hurriedly pinched people for treatment, fetched water and made fire, and tried their best to make Hou Junji wake up.

In the past, there was a live-in man in the family.

Later, something happened, where can I afford to invite Lang Zhong? This first aid ...... You can only come according to the local method yourself.

After working for a while, he finally woke up Hou Junji.

He slowly opened his eyes.

That look suddenly seemed to be thirty years old, and he had become an old man who was about to die.

"Master, master......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Liu finally couldn't hold back anymore, and threw himself on Hou Junji and cried loudly.

The house slaves also wept, and with this desolate scene, it was even more sad.

"I ...... It's okay......"

"You let me sleep for a while, I want to sleep for a while......"

Hou Junji waved his hand weakly, and after saying this, he closed his eyes again.

"Good, good ......"

Liu Shi helped him and sobbed,

"You guys can help me and send the master to my house......

……

It's night.

Hou Junji smelled a smell, opened his eyes, and sat up from the bed.

In the wing, there was only one candle lit, and the candle was only half cut off, and the light was very dim.

Liu sat at the table, staring out the window blankly, silently weeping.

On the table, there are a few vegetarian dishes, and there are a few slices of meat in them, which can barely be regarded as meaty.

"Madame......"

Hou Junji got up and shouted.

In the past, he never called Mrs., he always called her by her name.

"Ah...... Sir, you're awake. ”

Liu wiped his face and hurriedly stepped forward,

"I just made you a couple of side dishes...... The family scraped together some money and bought some meat. ”

"And a bottle of wine...... It's not a good thing, you drink it first, and I'll go and heat it up for you. ”

She was about to get up after speaking, but Hou Junji shook his head.

"No need, just eat it."

He whispered,

"You're tired, let's husband and wife...... Have a good meal and talk. ”

"Come on."

Liu nodded and handed the dishes and chopsticks to Hou Junji's hand.

"Yu'er, he ......"

She was about to speak, but saw Hou Junji shake his hand.

"Don't mention him to me, I don't have this son."

He said coldly,

"You hide the money in the future and let him fend for himself!"

When Liu heard this, he could only be silent, and he acquiesced.

What Hou Yu did today also made her mother, a mother, completely chill!

"Tell me about the situation at home."

Hou Junji took a bite of the dish at random and said,

"What about the daughter? What are you doing now? Didn't there be several kisses before? After my accident, no one should dare to mention kiss again, right? ”
