The Hou Mansion has never been so lively, from the four masters and servants at the beginning, to the current popularity.

In addition to an uncle, a cousin, a younger sibling, and his own sister-in-law, Hou Xuanyun, who is about to get married. In troubled times, family affection is especially valuable, Hou Xuanyan is rarely so comfortable, and after enjoying the joy of heaven and earth for a few days, he can't sit still.

Taking advantage of the old ritual of paying tribute to the ancestors and sweeping the tomb for forgetting his father, Hou Xuanyan took Yang Shu to Jiading.

Jiading is located in Suzhou Mansion, next to Songjiang Mansion, Hou Xuanyan only brought his personal guards and arrived quickly.

After this small city was slaughtered, the real people of Jiading have died and fled. Now, after reconstruction, most of them are refugees who fled from the north and have made their homes here.

The city wall has been renovated, and the new Jiading county magistrate is an official who has fled south. Most of the civil officials in the imperial court were resistant to these officials who fled south. Because many of them used to be officials in the Dashun regime, and if they were activated after fleeing south, it would inevitably affect their status. There are so many official positions, and the civil officials in the south don't want to share them with them.

There is also Hou Xuanyan's ability to dispel public opinion and vigorously use these people as officials, and many counties in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and many counties are using these officials. First of all, these people have a certain amount of political experience, know how to govern the locality, and how to deal with the local gentry. And the most important thing is that these people have no roots in Jiangnan, and if they want to recover, they are their backers. So enable them, and don't worry about faithfulness.

The name of the Jiading County Commander is Liu Wenbing, who is in his forties, with a white face and a long beard. So he handed over his hometown, the small city of Jiading, to him, and asked him to recruit refugees and rebuild Jiading.

Liu Wenbing had already gotten the news and knew that Hou Xuanyan was going to come back to sweep the tomb, so he took the county officials early and waited in front of the city.

Seeing a few horses galloping from a distance, Liu Wenbing said to the classics: "This must be the advance man of the Duke of Yue." ”

When the person arrived, Liu Xianling exclaimed: "Isn't that Grandpa Guo himself?" ”

Everyone hurriedly greeted them, and after Hou Xuanyan dismounted, he handed the horse whip to Yang Shu. said: "You have to welcome you from afar. ”

Liu Wenbing twisted his beard and said with a smile: "Guogong is worthy of being a general of Yum, and he actually came on horseback, and the lower official thought it was your advance entourage just now." ”

Hou Xuanyan stepped into Jiading County, and the mountains of corpses and blood had long disappeared on the streets, only the walls of the high-rise compounds, and there were occasional traces of fireworks remaining.

Hou Xuanyan pointed to the bridgehead and said: "At the beginning, I took 800 township soldiers to kill back to Jiading, and the next day I took the surviving 2,000 people to escape, and Wu Lao scolded me angrily here. ”

Liu Wenbing said: "The remains of Wu Lao have been moved to the bamboo forest behind, as well as the Huang family, the heroes of the Gong family, and other martyrs who died defending the city. Those who could find the bones were buried in the bamboo forest. ”

Hou Xuanyan was grateful in his heart and thanked: "Liuxian Ling has a heart." ”

Everyone walked and chatted, and the people along the way occasionally stopped to watch. I don't know what kind of big man it is, but I want the county magistrate to accompany him personally.

Walking to a dilapidated house, I saw a big yellow dog, squatting in front of the door, after seeing Hou Xuanyan, he stretched out his tongue and sniffed hard, barked wildly, and ran over happily.

When Hu Bawan saw it, he thought it was a mad dog biting someone, and he was about to kick it away when he raised his foot.

Hou Xuanyan laughed and said, "Rhubarb, could it be that the ingots have arrived?" ”

Hu Bawan volleyed in the air and said embarrassedly: "It turned out to be an old friend of the commander." ”

Xu Yuanbao, who was inside, heard the dog barking, ran out to take a look, and was immediately surprised: "Big brother, I got your news, and I rushed back day and night, but I didn't expect you to arrive first." ”

Hou Xuanyan kicked away the big yellow dog rubbing around his legs, but the big yellow didn't care, stuck out his tongue and came over again.

The Xu family's mansion is not small, and after hearing the movement outside, many people came out one after another. Hou Xuanyan is familiar at first glance, Fan Xian and Ji Mingming are all tax officials elected by themselves from the remnants of Jiading.

Hou Xuanyan simply followed them to the courtyard of the Xu family, and said as he walked: "No wonder Yuan Bao is stupid, it turns out that it is really a rich young master, I look at this courtyard, it is not much better than Wu Lao." ”

Xu Yuanbao's face was pale, and he said: "Yes, except for the eldest brother and the Wu family, these dirt buns are poor ghosts at all. If it weren't for the Qing soldiers, our Xu family would have been the richest man in Jiading. ”

Fan Xian sneered coldly: "Hou Dashao is a scholarly family, Wu Lao is also a family of goodness, only your father is a famous nouveau riche." What is there to brag about. ”

Xu Yuanbao was furious and fought back: "That's better than your family, your father also came to our house to work for a long time." ”

Fan Xian's face turned red, and just as he was about to speak, he heard a gentle and gentle voice from inside: "Yuanbao, what are you arguing with Brother Fan again?" ”

The anger on Xu Yuanbao's face suddenly disappeared, and he said with a smile: "Sister, I'm joking with them." ”

Hou Xuanyan finally met Xu Yuanbao's sister, who was really a gentle beauty, wearing a plain white dress, and her demeanor and speech had the unique softness of a Jiangnan daughter.

Xu Yuanbao stepped forward and said, "Sister, this is the eldest young master of the Hou family, my eldest brother." ”

"Xu Jinfeng, a folk girl, has seen Grandpa Guo."

Hou Xuanyan chuckled: "Yuanbao is my brother, and his sister is my sister, so there is no need to be so polite." ”

Secretly slandered in his heart, Daddy Xu is really a nouveau riche, his son is called Yuanbao, and his daughter is called Jin Feng, it's a pity that such a beauty is a pity.

Xu Yuanbao felt embarrassed when he heard this, and shouted loudly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, come out quickly, don't die studying there." ”

As soon as the words fell, a lazy voice said: "Yuanbao, you are still young, you don't know the magic of reading, reading can cure all diseases, and you can also get the Tao to ascend to immortals, how can you call reading to death" Then from the inner courtyard of the Xu family, a young man who looked like a scholar, although he was handsome, his beard was unkempt, his robe was loose and baggy, and he walked staggeringly, looking like a hanger.

Seeing everyone, he touched Xu Yuanbao's head, rubbed it and laughed: "Yuanbao, you have a lot of friends, ah!" Isn't this the prefectural lord? ”

Liu Wenbing actually had a lot of respect for this sloppy scholar, and said: "Mr. Yao, this is the Duke of Yue Guo, so don't come and see him soon." ”

When the scholar surnamed Yao heard this, he put away his lazy expression, bowed solemnly and said: "Student Yao Yiyao, I met Yue Guogong, thanked Guogong for taking care of my clumsy younger brother, and thanked Guogong for keeping my long hair for me. ”

Hou Xuanyan snorted and laughed out loud at the name. Then he thought that this was very rude, and said, "Mr. Yao doesn't have to be polite. ”

Liu Wenbing was afraid that he would misunderstand, so he hurriedly said: "Guogong doesn't know that Mr. Yao is a really talented person. ”
