In the garden of the Hou Mansion, a rush grass couch is spread under the green banyan tree, and a gust of wind blows, full of the smell of flowers and plants.

Gu Ling'er and her two maids, a total of three beauties, curled up on their legs on their sides on the mat, because they were in the inner courtyard, the three of them had no hairpins, their hair was like a waterfall, and they were wearing a light shirt. Outside the soft couch is a grape trellis, the swing below swings with the wind, the sun shines in the courtyard, the grass and trees are green, and the lake and stones are springing, this scene is very poetic. Of course, the most beautiful thing is the silhouette of the three girls on the side.

Gu Ling'er was holding a freshly peeled pear in her hand, which looked as big as her head, with a small mouth, biting a small gap, and chewing happily.

In the Gu family before, although she ate and drank a lot, she was controlled by her aunt and didn't let her be greedy, and since she got married, she didn't care about it anymore. From this point of view, she still likes to marry, although she doesn't know what it is.

Hou Xuanyan tidied up the official robe, which was made from scratch, and it stands to reason that it should have been given by the imperial court, but because it was not safe to bring it along the way, Hou Xuanyan simply paid out of his own pocket and made one.

When I walked into the courtyard, I caught a glimpse of three people, and my little wife was holding and nibbling on pears, so that her hands were full of pear juice. The mouth was also full, and the two maids were still lying there in the cold without heart or lungs. If this was Gu Fu again, he would have been beaten red and swollen by the master's children.

He leaned over, glared and pointed behind Gu Ling'er with his mouth open, and said in surprise: "Ling'er, what do you think it is?" ”

Gu Ling'er looked back curiously with a pair of lacquered eyes. At this stall, the pear in his hand disappeared, Hou Xuanyan turned around like a machine, gnawed it around and gave it back to her.

Gu Ling'er looked at the pear in her hand, there was only the core left, and her small body burst out with huge energy, and when she got up, it was a set of Wang Ba Fists.

Hou Xuanyan laughed and pressed her little head, and her little fists were all in the air.

Xiaoxiao and Ji'er covered their mouths and watched the excitement there, women of this age are the most unruly. They came to the Duhou Mansion and left the wealthy family of the Gu family, and their nature was gradually released. Although Hou Xuanyan is their master, the two of them are not afraid of him at all, and it is also because they have figured out Hou Xuanyan's character.

Hou Xuanyan watched the two of them pouting their butts lying on the mat to watch the excitement, and had no intention of coming over to help at all, glared at them, raised his foot and kicked on the round buttocks, hmm.. It's so soft, I almost got stuck in it.

"Look at it, if you don't come to help, you lord I'm going to go out to work."

Xiaoxiao got up at this time, hugged Gu Ling'er and comforted: "Miss, let's cut it for you again, and we should reward it to my uncle." ”

Hou Xuanyan took the opportunity to get out, walked out with a cheap smile, walked to the door, and turned around and made a grimace at Gu Ling'er.

Hearing the unwilling and cute roar behind him, he walked out of the yard contentedly.

Hmph, I'm waiting for someone to punch Nanshan Kindergarten, kick Beihai Nursing Home, just finished bullying the little one, it's time to bully the elderly...

The plaque of the Suzhou Yamen has been replaced with the Governor's Palace.

Hou Xuanyan is still his 10,000-year-old follower, humming the second general.

The soldiers at the yamen have all been replaced by Qin He and his men. After Qin He returned home, he found that his whole family was safe and sound, so he was relieved.

When he returned to Suzhou, he had already taken all his family in, for fear that he would meet a shameless person like Hou Xuanyan.

"Hey, Mr. Qin, you see that you are still wearing our Da Ming's clothes, more like a man." Hou Xuanyan patted him on the shoulder and said casually.

Qin He didn't dare to disobey, and lowered his head with a wry smile.

He was also recruited to go to King Qinwang in Beijing, who knew that the later commanders would have to surrender, and a middle and lower-level military attache would have to go with the flow.

Hou Xuanyan didn't plan to dig into it so far, after all, there were too many people who surrendered. If all of them are killed, then recovering the homeland and going against the Northern Expedition is tantamount to a fool's dream. In history, there was a large scale of rebellion against the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, a large part of it was the Ming army that surrendered at the beginning.

The combat effectiveness of these people should not be underestimated, just like Hou Xuanyan and Jiading people's enemies of life and death, Li Chengdong. He later surrendered to Nanming again, erected the banner of anti-Qing Dynasty, and also caused a lot of trouble to the Qing soldiers.

When I came to the Yamen, I found that it was once again crowded with people. They are still members of the alliance of big landlords, they went home to wash and smack all night, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that they couldn't just forget it. So they all came to the yamen spontaneously early in the morning, wanting to make a new statement.

Gu Youde's old fox actually had this vision and proposed to monopolize one-third, and these people laughed at him at the time for miscalculation. But now it's completely different, if Hou Xuanyan loses, they will have nothing, and the money they leave behind will be meaningless. But if he wins, his future gains will be doubled.

Now if you talk to him again, you will be facing a feudal official. I really don't know how this kid is far away in Suzhou, how he blows his fame to Fuzhou.

Hou Xuanyan stepped into the room, coughed, smiled and nodded one by one.

One of these old men is counted as one, and they are all their own food and clothing parents, so they have to be cautious.

No one dares to underestimate how many assets a gentry in the richest place in the south of the Yangtze River can have.

Hou Xuanyan was glad that he was able to persuade Gu Youde and gain the support of these people, otherwise the current outcome would not necessarily be what the outcome would be.

The Gu family didn't have anyone here today, and they didn't need to use these to get in with the young governor anymore.

"You are all the pillars of our Suzhou, like giant trees, supporting Suzhou from falling. Suzhou is now in ruins, and officials everywhere are fleeing for their lives and surrendering. I would like to appoint some people, but unfortunately I don't know anything about the talents of Suzhou. These positions are bound to be recommended by you. ”

The landlords in the hall looked happy, and they all thought in their hearts that their children and nephews had suitable candidates.

Hou Xuanyan sat leisurely at the top, and it could be said that there were only a few people around him, and he could count them on one hand. It's better to recommend them directly, and then use them yourself.

Just as everyone was discussing each other, a small soldier ran in in a panic.

"My lord, it's no good, the Qing soldiers are here!"
