There are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies between nations, and the same is true between families. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Since Li Su emerged, he has known the eldest grandson Wuji, his uncle and uncle are also sweet, plus Li Su is indeed a capable person, and his weight in Li Shimin's heart is quite heavy, all aspects add up, of course, it is worth taking a look at the eldest grandson Wuji, and even taking the initiative to make friends.

Later, Li Su came up with the "perfume" thing, and the eldest grandson Wuji did not hesitate to turn his face with Cheng Biting Jin, and took the quota of the perfume workshop partnership in his hands, and the relationship between the Li family and the eldest grandson family became more and more intimate because of perfume.

Perfume is naturally a good thing, until now, the perfume on the market is still in short supply, the eldest grandson family worked harder, and only spread the perfume market to the entire Guanzhong, no longer enough, not that no one wants, but the workshop simply can't supply such a huge output, it is made of high wine and flowers, wine to grain, pick flowers to see the season, the shortage of raw materials limits the profits of the perfume industry.

Despite this, the eldest grandson family and the Li family still made a lot of money.

It stands to reason that everyone's interests are the same, there is no conflict, the relationship between the eldest grandson family and the Li family should always be good, whether it is a concubine or a honey oil blend, this relationship should at least be maintained for a generation to have a beginning and an end.

However, Li Su knew that the relationship between the Li family and the eldest grandson family was about to come to an end.

At present, the interests of the two families are connected, but only monetary interests, in contrast, of course, political interests are more important, money is for politics, but the two families are about to come to a fork in the road politically, and it will not be long before the dispute between the East Palace and the East Palace is noisy, and the friendship between the Li family and the eldest grandson family will probably come to an end.

Li Su has been thinking about it recently, should he make some preparations to deal with the self-protection after turning his face with the eldest grandson's family in the future, but after thinking about it, Li Su doesn't know what to prepare, and people haven't made a move yet, what's the use of comparing himself for a half-day posture?

"Husband, the concubine will go to the Hou family today, do you have anything to say to the Hou family's aunt?" Xu Mingzhu stared at Li Su's face and said.

Li Su thought for a while and said with a smile: "It's nothing, you mainly give gifts, and arrange some parts in the Hou family, and you can't interfere with the rest." ”

Xu Mingzhu blinked: "Uncle Hou was also a general who responded to all calls back then, there are countless old departments in the army, Uncle Cheng, our uncle, etc., why is the Hou family in trouble, and none of those old departments of the robe Ze came out to help, only our family lended a hand?" ”

Li Su sighed and said: "Uncle Hou didn't have many friends when he was the most prosperous, but he had a lot of enemies, he lived too alone, and there may be some problems in dealing with the world, Uncle and Uncle Cheng They are diligent in their dealings, although these generals get together to quarrel and make trouble, but when it comes to personal relationships, as long as they are in trouble with each other, they still hold each other together, but Uncle Hou is the only one...... His personality is too eccentric, and he never disdains to associate with Uncle Cheng and them, gradually, everyone keeps a distance from him, from his crime to the present, no one in the Manchu Dynasty has stood up to say a word for him, which shows how bad his popularity is on weekdays......"

Xu Mingzhu was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but say: "There is a sentence that the concubine has wanted to ask her husband for a long time......"

Li Su smiled: "Do you want to ask me, why don't everyone wait to see Uncle Hou, but I am the only one who runs for him three times and twice?" ”

Xu Mingzhu nodded.

Li Su sighed: "In the past, I respected Hou Junji's generals, you may not believe it, I like Datang more and more, the stronger Datang is, the happier I am, because only when Datang is strong, our family's life can be better and better, if another thousand years pass, my mentality may be called ' Patriotic heart', since I hope that Datang will be strong, of course, we must respect the talents of the pillars of the society, Hou Junji is one of the people I respect, no matter what his temperament and temperament are, how he behaves in the world, at least, he has merit to Datang, if he is treated well, Datang will be stronger because of him......"

Xu Mingzhu pondered for a while and said, "So, this time the Hou family is in trouble, and this is also the reason why the husband wants to save the Hou family?" ”

Li Su shook his head, was silent for a long time, and said slowly: "In the past, I saved Hou Junji for righteousness and affection, but this time I saved the Hou family because of interests. ”

"Interests?" Xu Mingzhu looked at him puzzled.

Li Su sighed: "You can understand it as a party, or you can understand it as a way out for our family, and it is a bit rebellious to say it, but I have stepped into the court with one foot, and after sealing the county duke, this foot has fallen deeper and deeper, the court situation is treacherous and changeable, and I can't stay out of the matter, so I must leave a way out for myself and for our Li family, this way of retreat must be traceless, let alone fall into the hands of others, looking at the middle and the bottom, only the marginalized Hou Junji is the most suitable person, I need him to help me pave this retreat." ”

Xu Mingzhu didn't seem to understand, but looked at him deeply: "Husband...... Will it be dangerous? ”

Li Su said with a smile: "If things are done well, I don't have any danger, this is a long-term thing, two or three years, I can't see the result, Mrs. rest assured." ”

Xu Mingzhu thought for a while and said: "The concubine will leave for the Hou family, the retreat arranged by the husband for our family, and solving the current crisis of the Hou family is also paving the way for this retreat?" ”

Li Su was silent for a moment and said, "It can be said that the danger of the Hou family is an indispensable part of paving the way for this retreat. ”

"Why did the husband suddenly think of leaving a way out for our family? Could it be that the situation has changed? ”

Li Su sighed, he couldn't tell Xu Mingzhu that he was now holding an occasional bomb in his arms, which might explode at any time, and the force under the king of Chang'an City gradually turned into a big hand that pinched his neck, I believe that it won't be long before that hand will pinch himself out of breath, and the serious sense of crisis forced Li Su to quickly leave a way out of retreat in case of sudden change.

There is no need to say these hidden worries to Xu Mingzhu, it will only increase the worries, and it will not help anything.

After the conflict with Liu Xian, Li Su saw with his own eyes what the miserable situation of the Hou family was after the downfall, and the current situation of the Hou family gave Li Su a hard wake-up call.

Now that he is a county prince, if he was on the edge of the court and never touched the interests of the court, now he is a county prince and is allowed to participate in the court, then Li Su can no longer stay out of the matter, if his words and deeds are inappropriate, the core interests of many factions in the court are touched intentionally or unintentionally, and he will definitely attract a fierce counterattack, for example, on the issue of the selection of the prince of the East Palace, Li Su has definitely stood on the opposite side of the eldest grandson Wuji. Once there is a trace of negligence and omission, the Hou family's today is the Li family's tomorrow.

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

Xu Mingzhu took several carts of money, cloth, meat, vegetables, etc., and led dozens of subordinates into Chang'an City.

The Hou family's current housekeeper is the Hou Fang family, and I have to say that this woman makes Li Su more and more respectful. After Xu Mingzhu came back, his face was a little complicated, and he couldn't tell what it meant, mentioning Hou Fang's family, Xu Mingzhu showed an expression of admiration, and Li Su even saw a little admiration on her face.

From Xu Mingzhu's mouth, Li Su knew how difficult the Hou family's situation is now, since Hou Junji was exiled, the Hou family's property has basically been confiscated, and even the family house has been confiscated, a large family has been driven out of the house, their livelihood has been cut off, dozens of mouths have to eat, and there are countless enemies waiting to fall into the well.

In such a desperate situation, the Hou family is not chaotic, not to mention scattered, the family lives in a simple and dilapidated small house, and since then the door is closed, in order to make a living, Hou Fang's family is in that small pitiful homestead to carve out a piece of land to plant green vegetables, the whole family has a lot of daughters, all pick up needlework, buy silk of various colors and materials from the outside, embroider flowers and birds on the satin, and send people out to sell them to the Hu merchants in the East Market for money after embroidery, and the only valuable antiques left in the house, no matter how precious, how commemorative they are, all of them are sold for money.

As for the men of the Hou family, the young ones read day and night, and the older ones copied the books and seal texts, and handed them over to the study shop to sell them for money.

Under the control and arrangement of the Hou Fang family, although the life is poor, it is still vibrant, and the cohesion of the family is extremely strong, such a family, no matter how difficult it is, will not be dispersed in the end, because the Hou family is not only Hou Junji, the backbone of the backbone.

…………

The day after beating Liu Xian, the eldest son of the Marquis of Anping, guests came to the Li family in Taiping Village.

The guest was Anpinghou himself, Li Su beat his son, and finally brought out his father.

Since everyone is a powerful person in the Tang Dynasty, if there is a conflict, it is natural to deal with it according to the rules of the powerful, like the case of Li Su beating Liu Xian, the results of the handling are nothing more than three kinds.

The first is to continue the conflict, the grudge is getting deeper and deeper, and finally become the enemy of life and death, the second is that one party takes the initiative to reconcile, turns the conflict into a jade silk, and maintains a false harmony in the future, hello and me, the third is that both sides are silent, as if nothing happened, they invariably choose to forget.

The last is naturally the most peaceful, and if the world deals with all conflicts in this way, then how peaceful the world should be.

Liu Ping, Marquis of Anping, came to the door, and he chose the second way to solve the problem, taking the initiative to apologize in order to reconcile.

I have to say that Anping Hou's choice is very wise, his son is not sensible, Lao Tzu is of course much stronger than his son, he knows very well that Li Su is not something he can afford to provoke, at least now it is absolutely impossible to provoke, not to mention the level of the two titles, only to say that Liu Ping and Li Su The energy background behind them, compared to Liu Ping is much inferior, in the heart of today's son, Li Su's weight is not light, and he even has the privilege of riding a horse in Chang'an City and entering the palace at any time, and what does he Liu Ping have? said that he was a marquis, and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, he sealed so many marquis, who knows what number he was ranked at.

What's more, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, Li Su has basically been in Chang'an City since he was an official and knighted until now, and he can be described as a local original native. And he, Liu Ping, has just been transferred back to Chang'an from Liangzhou, and in the eyes of others, he is simply a turtle who has just entered the city.

Li Su personally greeted the door and received An Pinghou very warmly.

The driving force that made Li Su so enthusiastic was, of course, not the person An Pinghou, but the things that An Pinghou brought.

The gifts brought by the Marquis of Anping were too rich, and he drove a few ox carts, which were full of valuable things, from silver cakes to fine silk porcelain, from pearls from the East China Sea to precious stones and jade, and Li Su was crazy with happiness. From these cars, it can be felt that An Pinghou's apology is full of sincerity, and it will never be false, and the ecstatic Li Su can't wait to take someone to beat his son again......

In the face of these valuable gifts, Li Su's attitude is naturally like a spring breeze, making guests feel at home, from entering the door to sitting, with five-star service throughout the whole process.

Anping Hou Liu Ping is a middle-aged man who is almost fifty years old, dozens of years older than Li Su, but his posture is very low, he bows when he meets, keeps making amends, and his expression is remorse and awe.

Li Su is a person with a good temper, especially after receiving such a valuable gift, his temper has become more and more friendly and cordial, since An Pinghou has put his posture so low, Li Suruo will not understand the rules if he cares about his son anymore.

In the final analysis, the festival between Li Su and Liu Xian is not a deep hatred, even if there is a conflict, it can be big or small, it all depends on what the attitude of the parties is, since An Pinghou took out the attitude of calming things and taking the initiative to lower his body to apologize, Li Su certainly has no reason to continue to pursue it.

The matter was said, the mustard between the guests and the host disappeared, and the atmosphere soon became happy and peaceful, and the front hall of the Li family praised each other, and then talked about some things that men understand each other...... It is also possible to play the mountains and flowing water together.

The goal was achieved, Liu Ping got up and said goodbye with satisfaction, Li Su enthusiastically sent him to the door in person, watching him get into the carriage, until the carriage and his entourage walked away, Li Su still stood at the door and waved goodbye reluctantly, with a face of "it is difficult to say goodbye when we meet", and the subordinates on duty at the door were disgusted.

As soon as he turned around and was about to go back to the house, Xu Mingzhu stood behind him at some point, and said puzzledly: "Is the husband really fighting with the Marquis of Anping into a jade silk?" ”

Li Su sneered: "Madam, you are too naïve......"

"But you just ......"

"When people give such a valuable gift, they must always be enthusiastic, enthusiasm is enthusiasm, it is all a matter of face, and Mrs. must not take it seriously."

Xu Mingzhu blinked: "What does the husband mean...... Could it be that the grievances between our family and An Pinghou can't be resolved? ”

Li Su smiled: "Of course I'm willing to resolve it, but people don't want to, what can I do?" ”

Xu Mingzhu became more and more confused: "An Pinghou is a gift and an apocalypse, and his words are decent, how can the husband see that he is unwilling to resolve his grudges?" ”

Li Su smiled, took her hand, and the husband and wife slowly walked towards the courtyard, Li Su patiently explained: "To make amends, you must have the attitude of making amends, this' Attitude' does not refer to low-voiced words, but to look at sincerity, and I have a grudge against his son Liu Xian, that is to say, Liu Xian is the party, if Anpinghou really wants to resolve the grudge with me, he should bring his uncompetitive pit dog to apologize today, and apologize to me in person, but the only person who came to apologize today is Anpinghou, it seems that the weight is enough, but the matter is not to the point, and the sincerity of reparation is naturally greatly reduced......"

"Whether it's whether Liu Xian himself doesn't want to come, or Anpinghou doesn't feel the need to bring him here, in short, the person who should come didn't come, and there is no reason for this festival to be easily revealed......" Li Su said and suddenly sneered a few times, and said: "It's a good calculation, the county marquis personally came to the door to make amends, and showed it to the people of Chang'an, no one will think that he is wrong in the future, and everyone has already made amends, if I make another move to deal with Anpinghou, I will fall into the hands of people, and I am afraid that even the supervising imperial historians will not let me go, As for whether the person who came to our house to make amends is Lao Tzu or his son, who cares about this kind of detail? Today, when this Marquis of Anping came to our house, he could completely turn his passivity into initiative, but it was me, and I couldn't move easily. ”

Xu Mingzhu's eyes were straight when he heard this, and he was stunned for a long time before he ate and said: "An act of going to the door to make amends, there is such a sinister intention hidden in it, I am afraid that only the husband can see it, the husband is really powerful......"

Li Su said calmly: "I haven't finished talking yet, and when you're done, you can praise me again, so it seems more sincere...... The reason why I see that Anping Hou is unwilling to resolve his grudges is one of the reasons why Liu Xian did not come, and there is another reason, that is, the Hou family. …… The Hou family is the cause of this conflict, and it can't be avoided no matter what, but Anping Hou never mentioned the Hou family from entering the door to leaving, and the words of apology are only circled on the personal conflict between me and Liu Xian. Therefore, today's Anping Hou came to the door, the so-called apology, purely for others to see, as for me to forgive, he didn't take it to heart at all......"

"I guess Ah, Anping Hou may want to follow the example of King Goujian of Yue and taste his courage, now he can't afford to offend me, what if there is a chance to bring me down in the future? What's more, now that people have hugged the eldest grandson Wuji's big thick legs, come to our house to make amends or something, and do enough work to save face, I naturally don't care about him anymore, so if he goes to seek revenge against the Hou family, it is inconvenient for me to interfere anymore. Tsk, you really used me as a melon......"

Xu Mingzhu said: "Since the husband has seen through Anpinghou's tricks, doesn't he plan to forgive Anpinghou?" ”

Li Su glanced at her and said slowly, "Who said I didn't plan to forgive him?" Marquis Liu gave such a valuable gift, if I don't forgive him, wouldn't people be meat buns and dogs? ”

Xu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then sneered, slapped him, and said angrily: "The husband scolded himself mercilessly, can't he change his words to a better one?" ”

Li Su smiled: "Anyway, the gift is accepted, the grievances are gone, one day I meet him and beat his son again, he will come to give a gift again, I really hope that this kind of friendship can last a lifetime......"

Xu Mingzhu couldn't stop laughing, and it took a long time to calm down.

"What does the husband mean, the grievances between our family and the Marquis of Anping are over?"

Li Su rubbed his nose, an incomprehensible light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Of course I have forgiven, but ...... If the Hou family doesn't forgive, then it's none of my business. ”
