He said: "I cultivate my self-cultivation and keep my integrity for decades. I must never accept my son's gift because I am poor." The son then gave a banquet to entertain the guests. After everyone came to sit down, the son took the horses and chariots, vacated the left seat in the car and personally went to the east gate to meet Mr. Hou. Mr. Hou tidied up his shabby coat and hat, went straight to the car and sat in the distinguished seat vacated by his son, without any humility, in order to observe his attitude. But the son is more respectful when he holds the reins. Mr. Hou said to his son, "I have a friend in the slaughterhouse in the market." Please do me a favor and drive me to visit him.
