When the leader prepares to pay responsibilities to your hard work, the conversation usually starts like this.

Su Xuezhi has not much social experience and is not social. After coming out, he only knows how to do things with his master, but he knows this routine.

"Yes, everything goes well. Thank you for your concern." She was slightly alert.

He nodded slightly and looked at her: "Your school is in the northern suburbs, so you have been in and out of the northern gate more than once, have you noticed the nearby temple?"

Because Tiancheng is a commercial and water and land center in the north, many people come in and go out, and everyone wants to seek peace and make a fortune. Chinese people are not as dedicated as Westerners, and believe in practicality. If a god is not effective, then they will worship one. Therefore, there are temples of all sizes everywhere in the city. Needless to mention the land temple of the City God Temple, there are also San Taiye Temple, Jiutian Temple, Niangniang Temple, and all kinds of gods gathered in the sky and the earth. One is a few steps away.

The north gate of the old city is no exception. There are many scattered nearby. Su Xuezhi is not blind, so he naturally saw it.

She should: "Yes."

"What temples are there?"

Su Xuezhi was inexplicably, wondering why he told him about this. He said as he saw: "Zhang Gong Temple, San Sheng Temple, San Huang Temple, Jade Emperor Pavilion."

"What else?" he continued.

Su Xuezhi couldn't remember it for a moment and shook her head: "After I came, I haven't gone out to visit. I just took a few trips and took a few glances when I passed by. Is that all?"

He was obviously not satisfied with her answer, and reminded: "Come in the North City Gate, and pass by North Street a little, at the entrance of Liujia Hutong, it is very conspicuous."

Fortunately, Su Xuezhi had a good memory. After thinking for a while, he remembered: "By the way, there is also a Guandi Temple."

He nodded slightly.

What exactly is he trying to say?

"Do you know why the Guandi Temple is established?" Su Xuezhi asked himself again when he heard him.

Is this examining the history of ancient Chinese culture?

"Because Guan Yu is loyal and righteous."

"So do you know the word "Zhong"?"

Is this really a test of cultural history?

But Su Xuezhi really couldn't say this.

She shook her head and heard him say, "Loyalty first has the meaning of 'respect'. "Shuowen Jiezi" interprets loyalty as respect, believing it as respect and respect from the heart. This is the starting point of loyalty. There is a master of Pu Xue, named Duan Yuke, who explained that being wholeheartedly called loyalty. In other words, when serving people, you should give your all your strength and not have two hearts."

Su Xuezhi was confused and could only remain silent, listening to him continue to talk: "Just literally. From a historical perspective, loyalty, that is, loyalty, is a universal ethical norm and moral norm. Confucianism believes that 'The sky covers, the earth carries, and people take on the other hand.' In fact, it is not Confucianism that believes that in the pre-Qin era when thought is most active and controversial, the various schools of thought also held the same view. The prince Ying Gao said that those who are unfaithful have no name to stand in the world. Han Feizi even directly said that being a minister is unfaithful and should die."

Su Xue's neck felt cold and her eyes widened.

He Hanzhu looked at her and continued to smile and said, "I'll tell you another story. You must know Lu Bu, right? He is known as the bravest general of the Three Kingdoms, and finally threw himself at Cao Mengde. Cao Mengde loves talents, and everyone knows it in the world, but he shot him by arrows. Why? I believe you must also know that Lu Bu has no loyalty at all."

"A person has the ability, if he is not loyal, he is like a sharp sword. I can use it, and the enemy can also use it. Even if Cao Mengde keeps people by his side, it will be like a hidden danger, so he simply kills him."

He paused and stared at her: "Do you understand?"

Su Xuezhi didn't understand.

She naturally understood every word he said. That is to say, loyalty is a virtue, and disloyalty will not end up being unfaithful.

But she really didn't understand. What was the purpose of citing scriptures and teaching herself "loyalty" in such a simple way?

It’s not her habit to pretend to understand. She shook her head: “Cousin, I don’t really understand what you mean. If you have something to say, you can just tell me.”

He Hanzhu paused, sat upright, and stared at the son of the Su family in front of him who did not look like he was pretending to be confused.

In some aspects, it's still a bit stupid.

"Su Xuezhi, your uncle Ye Ruchuan tried every means to send you here. What is the purpose? You should know this?" He asked patiently.

Xun Dashou in the provincial capital climbed a powerful backstage, Lu Hongda. The other party was the most important person in the capital. His uncle Ye Ruchuan naturally couldn't fight and almost lost his life. After knowing the existence of the person in front of him, he sent him over to recognize his relatives, hoping to be his backer.

Although it is shameful, in such an era when legal principles only exist in ideals, it seems that this is the only way to deal with it.

"I know..." she admitted honestly.

"I hope that our Su Ye and his family can get your care."

He Hanzhu nodded, and finally showed his first look of satisfaction after sitting down tonight.

He leaned back back, and this time he held his legs in his arms and put his injured left leg on his right leg casually.

"Since you know, that's simple. My words may make you uncomfortable when you hear them, but to be honest, there is no need to beat around the bush."

"To be honest, even when my grandfather was alive, the Su Ye family and my He family were not considered formal relatives at all. However, this is not important. You two have sincerity and have had contact with my He family in the past. It would be a good thing to be relatives in the future. I, He Hanzhu, are naturally not a capable person, but I will not come out even if I encounter any other things. I can't guarantee that no one in the Xu Mansion dares to move. This should still be possible."

His tone sounded faint, but the conceit and slight in his words came to his face.

The expensive meal I ate tonight has finally gradually recovered.

It turns out that there is really no free meal in the world. I also ordered a bottle of champagne for fifty years...

She gradually became a little nervous and was silent.

The man in front of him didn't need anything to say at this moment - because it wasn't her turn to speak, just listened to him and said: "I have considered it. I can recognize you, Su and Ye families, and officially interact with each other in the future."

After saying that, he stopped talking.

The study room was quiet.

He stopped looking at her and took out a cigarette from the drawer, but did not light it immediately, and only held it in his hand and played with it.

The light shone from behind his head, and there was no longer a smile on his face. The profound outline of his facial features was hidden in a halo with green shadows, as if covered with a layer of cold gauze.

Su Xuezhi knew that what he was going to say had already been said, and now it was her turn to speak.

"So...what do our two families need to do..."

She relaxed her slightly tight throat and finally asked.

"Loyalty, absolute loyalty." He responded heavily.

She understood why as soon as she sat down, he first told her a bunch of things that sounded a little far away.

She also relaxed suddenly. She thought he wanted the Su Ye family to do something. This should be fine. But before she could breathe, she heard him say again:

"Of course, it's just a balance under the premise of exchange of interests. If one day I'm about to fall, or die, and be destroyed by my enemies, you have to turn to another backer, and it's natural that you'll have no problem. But as long as I'm still a day, I won't allow betrayal, including any deception and the two ends of the rat."

"If I knew..."

He threw the lighter on the table.

The iron block slipped over because of the force of throwing, and slid to the edge of the table before stopping. The iron rubbed against the wood and made a sudden and harsh noise.

"I, He Hanzhu, have a narrow mind and will retaliate."

He said lightly.

Just about an hour ago, while sitting in the restaurant for dinner, Su Xuezhi felt that tonight was quite relaxing. It was the most pleasant night after she came here, which was a double enjoyment of spirit and body.

Now, that feeling has completely disappeared.

She immediately stated: "Mr. He, don't worry--" She changed her words and called him Mr. He.

"Since they chose to surrender to you, they naturally would not have any other ideas. They are not such people. Besides, besides you, where can we find someone who is comparable to Xun Dashou's backstage? The purpose of their sending me here to study is to bring closer relationship with you. This time I came to school, my uncle originally wanted to send me to me by himself, so he would take the opportunity to formally visit Mr. He, but unexpectedly, there was an accident at that time, and he was injured in his legs and feet, so he could not go out, so he could only miss the opportunity. If you have time in the future, they hope to visit again."

She didn't speak nonsense, and she was telling the truth.

One day, if the person in front of him was really about to fall, as he said just now, she would not guarantee whether his uncle Ye Ruchuan and his mother Ye Yunjin would be able to separate their relationship with him for self-protection, but as long as this person is fine, the situation he said is absolutely impossible.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at him quietly.

The corners of his lips were slightly pulled, and he nodded, "That's fine."

Su Xuezhishu breathed out.

The easy-going and tenderness that this man showed when he was with his sister tonight almost made Su Xuezhi careless and relaxed his guard.

What he is now is his true appearance.

She doesn't want to stay anymore.

He called himself tonight and said everything he wanted to say should have been said. He also expressed his attitude for the Su Ye and his family.

"Mr. He, if there is nothing else, I will go back first. It's still early. I want to go back and rest, and I will have class tomorrow. Thank you for the evening meal, it's delicious."

She stood up and said politely to him. Seeing that he didn't say anything, she turned around and walked out. When she walked to the door and reached out to open the door, suddenly a voice came from behind: "Where are you?"

Su Xuezhi didn't understand and turned to look at him.

He still leaned on the back of the chair like that, and smiled again on his face.

"You just made your statement for your uncle and mother. What about you? What do you think?"

Su Xuezhi was stunned.

Herself?

What's the meaning?

Isn’t it enough for the Su Ye and his family to express their loyalty to him? Even she needs to express her loyalty? Is this necessary?

"Mr. He... you probably misunderstood. My family is completely in charge of my mother, and I don't care."

Su Xuezhi reacted and explained immediately.

His face slightly darkened and his smile disappeared.
