Chapter Fifty-Eight: Someone Wants to Pick the Peaches of Lord Xiaohou

The continuous rainy days alleviated the scorching heat in the south of the Yangtze River, but also brought new problems.

The city of Suzhou is crowded with refugees who sleep on the streets because of the lack of housing. The continuous rain has caused these already tired refugees to suffer from diseases.

As the lord of Suzhou, Hou Xuanyan took the lead and fell ill first.

Hou Xuanyan lay on his stomach in the grass outside Hangzhou for a day and a night, and then he didn't sleep the next night, and he was drenched in the rain all night. Even if he is beaten with iron, he can't bear it, not to mention that his body is just a scholar.

In the study of the Hou Mansion, a small bed was through the window, and the sound of dripping rain kept knocking. Xiaoxiao, who was slender and had white skin, sat at the head of the bed, naked in the wide lake-blue silk, and her snow muscles were lined with white and dazzling, extremely greasy and smooth. She placed a pair of plump thighs on her side at the head of the bed and made a soft "pillow". Hou Xuanyan pillowed these jade legs, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying a rare rest. The body under the headpil is soft and soft, the familiar bosom fragrance is melted and leaking, and the smell is peaceful, and Hou Xuanyan smells it and has a calming effect.

Ji'er looked distressed, held a white towel in her hand, put it in warm water and pressed it gently, and then wrung out the water and put it on his forehead. After opening 1 bud, Ji'er's already majestic chest seemed to be plump again, and there were two rolling balls in the placket, which looked more feminine. She felt sorry for her master, and raised her pretty little face with tears in her eyes, full of distress.

At this time, there was a big man in a big coat outside the door, knocking lightly on the door, and Hou Xuanyan, who was half asleep, sat up in vain and asked, "The Qing soldiers are attacking the city?" ”

The big man outside the door heard the voice and replied: "Commander Qiqi, it's Xu Yuanbao and they are back." ”

Hou Xuanyan breathed a long sigh of relief, rubbed his smooth and moist legs, and said, "Let Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, and Xu Yuanbao come to see me." ”

The man took the order and left, and the two Xie Yu flowers also hired Tingting and withdrew from the study.

Hou Xuanyan sat up, sat cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and pondered.

After a while, the door was pushed open with a bang, Hou Xuanyan twitched the corners of his mouth, and scolded without opening his eyes: "Yuanbao, this door is worth more than the flesh on your body, can you afford to pay if it is broken?" ”

When I opened my eyes, it was no one else who hit the door, it was the chubby Xu Yuanbao.

Xu Yuanbao disagreed, and said casually: "Isn't this just ordinary ebony, our family used to be full of this kind of door, big brother don't be alarmist and raise your own value." ”

"Lao Tzu really wants to give you a book of idioms."

Yan Yingyuan, who came in at last, gently closed the door, and together with Gu Yanwu, stepped forward and asked, "Is the governor okay?" ”

"Minor ailments, coughs. . . None, ahem.." Hou Xuanyan couldn't catch his breath and began to cough.

Gu Yanwu hurriedly took the teacup on the bookcase, brought it to the bedside and handed it to Hou Xuanyan.

"My illness came at the wrong time. The big and small affairs of Suzhou will bother you a lot. ”

Gu Yanwu looked at Hou Xuanyan, who was sick, with a worried face, and said forcibly: "The commander doesn't have to worry, the whole city of Suzhou is united, even Hong Chengchou can't do anything with us." ”

Hou Xuanyan shook his head, covered his mouth and asked, "Yuanbao, I asked you to go into the city to investigate how many soldiers and horses Hong Chengchou brought with him when he went to Jinling." Have you ever seen that? ”

"Hundreds of pro-soldiers, guarding his frame, entered the city."

Yan Yingyuan, who was silent on the side, suddenly interjected and said: "This is a military emergency, he didn't have time to wait for the army, and he went to Jiangning first." ”

Hou Xuanyan smiled, raised his throat, and coughed for a while: "How many soldiers and horses can Qinggou have, he is afraid, haha, he is afraid that we will fight Jinling." ”

Gu Yanwu raised his eyebrows and said: "What the commander said is true, the Manchu invasion of the Central Plains seems to be unstoppable, but in fact, there are not a few hard battles at all. Except for a few battles with the rebels, the others were those second-tier thieves who surrendered on their knees. Half of the great rivers and mountains were sent out by them. ”

Yan Yingyuan saw that they understood what they meant, so they continued to keep silent.

Hou Xuanyan lay down on the bed, looked at the carved beams and pillars on the roof, and said softly: "Let's not care about him for now, the most important thing at the moment is the stability of Suzhou." These days, it is raining and raining, and it is not sunny for days, you tell Xia Yunyi to let him take Minzhuang and start to go outside Suzhou. Between Suzhou and Hangzhou, how many counties are there anyway? ”

Gu Yanwu's face was full of joy, and he said: "Wujiang County has long been taken by us, and there are many righteous gentry in other prefectures and counties with villagers Anyway, Lord Chen Zilong has been busy appointing officials to these places recently. ”

"Huh? Why didn't anyone tell me? Hou Xuanyan's eyes flashed, and he asked in a deep voice.

"The commander is unwell..."Gu Yanwu spoke hesitantly, obviously in the know.

Hou Xuanyan laughed: "Chen Zilong is the giant of the Restoration Society, the leader of Donglin, and he thinks he has a home in this Jiangnan. The imperial court appointed me as the governor of the Suppression and Restoration, and I could appoint and dismiss officials at the county level in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Daozhou on my own. I didn't expect Chen Zilong to also have this power, so I will play the Son of Heaven, since I have arranged for him to do it, then I will let him do a good job as the commander of the feudal domain. ”

Gu Yanwu looked embarrassed, when Chen Zilong did this, he did persuade him. But Chen Zilong thinks that he is dedicated to the country, and he does have the idea that he is one of the leaders of the Restoration Society in Jiangnan, which is quite prestigious. There are too many things to be busy with in Suzhou City, and Gu Yanwu has no time to argue with him. And looking at Chen Zilong's posture, if anyone dares to fight with him, they will wait to be criticized.

Yan Yingyuan, who was on the side, saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, and said, "Commander, the overall situation is important. ”

Hou Xuanyan snorted and said, "Let Chen Zilong come to see me." ”

Xu Yuanbao listened to it on the side, and vaguely knew that it was a man named Chen Zilong, and he took advantage of his eldest brother's illness to do something sorry for him. Seeing that the eldest brother's tone was not good, he also kicked the door open in hatred and shouted, "I'll call him!" ”

"Yuanbao, your uncle, Lao Tzu's good ebony carved door."

The Donglin Party is in the south of the Yangtze River, like a bone appendage, and they will take advantage of it if they are not careful. Moreover, these people often claim to be righteous, and whoever is not in the right way with him will bring disaster to the country and the people. But this group, after all these years of evolution, the pursuit of power has long been engraved in their bones. Lao Tzu worked hard to plant the big tree, fertilized and watered, and saw the fruit ripen. If you want to pick my Hou Xuan's peaches, I want to see if your hands are long enough!
