Chapter 45: The Silent Night Makes Fragrance

At night, Hou Xuanyan rubbed his hands together and stood at the door of the outer courtyard.

All of his trusted henchmen were present, and they didn't know what to do except for a few who knew about it.

Although Suzhou has now been recovered, the curfew has not yet been fully restored, but there is no one on the road at night. In the streets and alleys, there are only young and strong guards organized by Xia Yunyi, who occasionally pass by.

Finally, in the quiet streets, the sound of clattering horses' hooves and the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground sounded. This voice is piercing and terrifying, but listening to Hou Xuanyan's ears, it is as beautiful as fairy music.

"Open the door, open as big as you want, if you can't open the door, you can tear down the door for Lao Tzu. Haha, with this money, we will be in Suzhou in the future. "Suzhou has been rich for hundreds of years, and unlike Shaanxi and Gansu, no matter how much money you have, you may not be able to buy food. But in Suzhou, Hou Xuanyan has a golden signboard appointed by the imperial court, as long as he has money, he can pull up an arm as quickly as he wants.

Among the people who had taken refuge in Suzhou, many of them were routs who had fled from the north, and the officers and commanders of these people had surrendered. There were those who were unwilling to surrender on their knees, or those who had a deep blood feud with the Manchus, all fled to Suzhou. With a little training, these people are a strong group of elite soldiers. Since they did not become deserters and guerrillas to harm the people, it shows that military discipline and military style are not bad.

At this time, the area of Suzhou Mansion was a bit like Shandong and Henan when the Qing soldiers entered the customs. At that time, the Qing soldiers were busy fighting a decisive battle with Li Zicheng, and there was no time to worry about anything else, and there were borderless lands everywhere, and the Central Plains was in an anarchic environment for several months. Often, a single official with dozens of subordinates can control a large city.

Now the main generals of the Qing soldiers in Suzhou Prefecture have been killed, and the dragons have fallen into chaos without a leader, and they have been broken by Wu Yi and others. The Qing soldiers from Taicang, although they were under the command of Li Chengdong and others, who were willing to work hard in Suzhou Mansion, had already fled back to Songjiang and stuck to their nests. After all, there is endless wealth they have looted there, and the soldiers and horses in their hands are not watched locally, and they can't even eat well.

After a simple handover, it was busy until the second half of the night, and it was still not finished. Gu Jiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Uncle, let's get here today, the old lady means that we will send the rest slowly." ”

Hou Xuanyan nodded, this was originally a gentleman's agreement, since he had paid a part, Gu Youde no longer had to repay the debt. is also a villain in vain, and he simply behaves generously, which can also impress Gu Youde, an old prostitute.

The gold and silver of the white flowers were hidden in a box and transported to the treasury in the inner courtyard of the Houfu. Yang Shu opened the boxes there and checked them box by box, Hou Xuanyan laughed and said: "Uncle Yang, when are you going to test this, we will also be big in the future, and your habits of this small family will be changed." ”

Yang Shu sneered, and secretly said that he was still too uninformed, you look at the temperament of the eldest young master, it is really incomprehensible. Thinking of this, he looked at Hou Xuanyan with admiration, only to feel that the eldest young master's eyes were scattered, and he didn't pay attention to the money at all. "The eldest young master has the world in his heart, and it is really not this little wealth that can move his mind."

After everyone left, and arranged for people to guard the treasury day and night, Hou Xuanyan, who was invincible, trembled his legs and breathed rapidly. In this way, it seems that his eyes have just been distracted, and he is obviously blinded by money and lost his mind. Reluctantly, he closed the door and walked towards the inner courtyard with difficulty. In fact, in his heart, he wished to sleep here.

"How many Mark Six lotteries does this have to win?" In two lives, I have never seen so much money, and Hou Xuanyan walked lightly.

I have seen the bloody rain and the tragic slaughter of the city; survived the artillery fire and the pressure of the soldiers. Hou Xuanyan thinks that he is also a person who has seen the world, but he is difficult to cope with in the face of money. It is true that there is hidden greed in the depths of human nature, and money is the most direct temptation.

Hou Xuanyan still needs more experience, maybe he can transcend this realm and reach a state of mind where wealth is not enough to move his heart. At this moment, he even felt that the golden ingots were flowing in his veins.

With a long sigh of relief and calming down his pounding heart, Hou Xuanyan thought of publicizing how much money he had now. But at the same time, there was another voice in his heart that exhorted him to keep his mouth shut. Such a contradictory and complex state of mind made him excited.

"Well, it's not right for me to do this, I have to control myself. You must know that wealth cannot be lewd, eh? Lewd? Hmm..."

Pushing open the door of his room, the bright moonlight happily sprinkled in the room, and on the small bed in the outer hall, a white and delicate body flowed out of the moonlight. Xiaoxiao and Gu Ling'er slept in the inner room, and only Ji'er was left on the bed outside. It's midsummer night, and even at night, it's quite hot.

Half of Ji'er's body was exposed, and a halo in the moonlight reminded Hou Xuanyan of the sentence "Jade is fragrant in the quiet night". The pretty face has a little more tranquility, and less cunning that is often seen during the day. This body has a fatal attraction to Hou Xuanyan, who is restless at this time, and he needs an outlet. And Ji'er is his little daughter-in-law's personal maid, in this era, she can't get married, she can only follow her for the rest of her life. So Hou Xuanyan didn't feel guilty either, he leaned in slowly. A pair of big hands slowly caressed Hao's jade arm. As soon as the waist is untied, the placket is divided into two, and the spring light inside can be seen at a glance.

Ji'er slept shallowly, felt the movement around her, opened her hazy sleepy eyes, saw through the moonlight that it was her own uncle, and muttered; "Uncle, are you back? I'll wait for you to change your clothes and sleep. After speaking, he deliberately lazy and did not move, according to past experience, at this time my uncle would undress and sleep by himself.

"What do you sleep, don't sleep tonight!"

"Oh, then I'll sleep first, Uncle slowly..."

Syllable. There was a crisp sound, and Ji'er, who was about to fall asleep, covered her buttocks and raised her head, took a sip, and said in a panic: "What are you doing to beat people?" ”

As a lady-in-waiting of a wealthy family, she already had a vague sense of what was about to happen. Uncle's eyes were scary, as if he was going to eat people, Ji'er secretly tightened the blanket on her body.

Hou Xuanyan tiptoed to the inner room, saw the two people sleeping in Zhengxiang, and relieved himself. He turned back, with a squinting look in his eyes, and said with a cheap smile: "I mean, neither of us is sleeping." ”

Ji'er's eyes dodged, and she didn't dare to look directly at Hou Xuanyan, her sleepiness had long since disappeared, and her little heart fluttered, as if she was about to jump to her throat. Hou Xuanyan thought that she didn't have any strange fetishes, but when she saw her frightened bird, she was inexplicably excited.

"Aunt. Nun.. Master, what are you going to do? ”

"You!"

"Huh?"
