Ziyang County is just a small place, and the orange orchard in the south of the city is only one or two miles away from the county seat. The orchard is based in the city, and the orangery in the south of the city is usually tended by only two old gardeners, and the fruit ripens for eight.

The purpose of increasing the number of people is to prevent someone from stealing, and now that the oranges have been picked, they are only waiting for someone to come from Beijing, so the left-behind personnel have become four, because the oranges are placed in baskets and placed in centralized custody after picking, and four people are enough.

Xiang Yicheng went to see Zhang Peng first and explained the situation to him, in fact, Zhang Peng's shack was empty and empty, what was the problem of borrowing someone to live for one night, there were few real money, it was better to use it to deal with favors, so Zhang Yuanwai agreed angrily, and the money naturally did not need to be counted.

Zhang Yuanwai did not count the money with Xiang Yicheng, but when Xiang Yicheng reported to the above, he could calculate the money, and he made a small profit, so he was extremely happy, and personally led Ye Xiaotian and others to the orange grove accompanied by Zhang's family.

The houses in the orangery are very simple, mainly used to move the orange trees indoors for storage in cold climates and heavy rains, but they are large enough and well ventilated.

Mr. Pi and his entourage also passed through inaccessible places on the road, and they all brought horse bags, and at this time, the horse bags were laid on the ground, although they were not as comfortable as inns, and they were much better than camping in the wilderness.

The three-room house where the four gardeners live is a tiled house, and there is only one place in the entire orange grove that is the most decent.

Xiang Yicheng said to Ye Xiaotian: "My lord, you guys rest first, when I left, I had already ordered the hall to cook, and I will send it in a while." ”

Speaking of this, Xiang Yicheng smiled and said: "Xiang Mou is good at cooking, adults work hard, Xiang Mou will personally cook a few dishes in a while." Send it to all of you to taste. ”

When Mr. Pi Vice Qian heard this, he immediately smiled, a post man dressed like a cook, even if he changed his clothes, there was a smell of oil smoke on his body, such a person is definitely a big foodie who eats life and eats death, and the food he cooks tastes no worse.

Mr. Pi Vice Qian, together with several hundred households and general banners, thanked him again and again, and sent Xiang Yicheng out very politely......

When the goose returned upstairs, Mu Dong asked with great interest: "Brother Tiger is so good, how did you do it?" ”

Zhanhu took a sip of wine. Slightly drunk, he said: "Gunpowder is easy to do." As you know, each toast will more or less accumulate some muskets and gunpowder, which is a sharp weapon. And my Guizhou is adjacent to the border, this thing is not a rare thing, plus it is also used to open up mountains and roads, so as long as you have money and a way, it is not difficult to get it. ”

Zhanhu took a mouthful of food, looked at Mu Dong drunkenly, and said, "As for burying in that big house." It's easier. As long as there is a pillar of incense, the head of the garden, who was already asleep, sleeps more deadly, digging holes to bury gunpowder, and transporting soil to pave floor tiles. One night is enough! You don't need to bury it deep, hehe......"

Zhan Hu said triumphantly: "Even if they look back and find that they slept too dead that night and didn't get up to patrol the night, they didn't lose the oranges anyway." Will you take the initiative to confess to the proprietor? is to confess, what can their proprietor be suspicious of? ”

Guo Jianwu praised: "Wonderful! In this way, we can crush that leaf thief tonight! ”

Zhan Hu looked at the sky. Eat and laugh and say: "Come on, come on, eat wine, eat wine, it's still early, don't be in a hurry." When the hour is almost up, let's go camping in the north of the city, and then sneak to the south of the city to watch the fireworks, hahaha......"

Guo Jianwu and Mu Dong also laughed loudly, and the three of them picked up their wine glasses and drank them excitedly.

……

At this time, Ziyang County Ling Yan Yifei was feasting to entertain a distinguished guest, this distinguished guest was a white-faced and beardless brocade man, but a eunuch sent by the imperial court, surnamed Yu, called Yu Xiaobai.

This Yu Xiaobai is naturally Xu Boyi, Xu Boyi is not a big eunuch now, but he is also a eunuch with a high rank in the inner court. Eunuchs can't leave the inner court easily, but if they can go out of Beijing by order, it is an honor and an opportunity to make a lot of money.

You must know that civil officials are in power, and the power of the inner court in the capital is limited, and some civil officials will be very cautious even if they want to curry favor with them, fearing that they will be excluded by other civil officials. And once they leave Beijing, they have the status of Qincha, and it is reasonable for the magistrate to welcome and send them there.

Under the cover of this status, it is only natural that some local petty officials with less noble morals will try their best to flatter them.

However, Xiaobai's father-in-law is not an ordinary father-in-law, even if the father-in-law in the inner court is literate, and even the learning is not inferior to the officials from the outer court, they are also reading in the inner study, limited by the environment they are in, and their knowledge is not inferior to that of the officials of the outer court, but their style of conduct is still very different.

Therefore, once most of the eunuchs in the inner court have the opportunity to go out, they will inevitably put on a grand show and be majestic. People have left their names, geese have left their voices, it is not easy for them to go out of the palace, God knows if it is this time in a lifetime, how can it not be vigorously publicized.

But the little white father-in-law is an alternative, he was the first to lift people, and then entered the palace, and entered the palace as a eunuch with the fame of raising people, such a figure has been up and down for 5,000 years, and he is probably also a scorpion -- the only one.

Therefore, psychologically, Xu Boyi still regards himself as a scholar and has deep contempt for the group of eunuchs. So Wanli gave him this opportunity, he didn't think it was a rare opportunity, after leaving Beijing, he was not publicized, and he didn't play the Qincha honor guard, and suddenly appeared in front of Yan County's order this evening, and also scared Yan County's order, thinking that he was a fake eunuch, intending to defraud money, and waited to see his Qinchaguan anti-seal letter, so he believed it.

Yan Xianling smiled and said to Xu Boyi: "Father-in-law Yu, it's difficult for you to get our Ziyang to come here, and the Japanese official will accompany you to take a tour of the Ziyang scenery, how about it?" ”

Xu Boyi glanced at him and said lightly: "Ben Qin sent here to receive tribute oranges, those fresh things, is it forbidden to store them?" ”

There are many self-proclaimed eunuchs, calling themselves slaves and maids to the emperor, calling themselves our family to their peers, and calling themselves husbands to their subordinates. There are also some less commonly used self-titles, which are used by high-ranking eunuchs with functions, that is, to call themselves ministers to the emperor and official names to officials in the outer court.

Because the emperor often called the eunuchs as factory ministers and ministers, the senior eunuchs also regarded themselves as ministers, for example, the eunuchs at that time called themselves ministers when they played a fold, while the officials of the foreign court called themselves the ministers and governors of the factory. Xu Boyi felt that eunuch was a very humiliating identity, and now he has a chance. Naturally, he called himself Benchincha.

Yan County Ling Wan'er smiled and said: "Father-in-law, don't worry, these tribute oranges have a storage method, and they can be placed for a winter, three or five days, and they don't matter." ”

Xu Boyi shook his head and said, "No! Ben Qin sent the holy order to his body, how can he abolish the public because of his personal affairs, and after testing the tribute orange tomorrow, he will immediately go back to Beijing! ”

Yan Xian Ling heard this. I couldn't help but secretly admire this eunuch Yu, I saw him talking elegantly before, neither arrogant nor vulgar, this Yan County Order gave birth to some good feelings, and felt that this eunuch was not very different from those legendary eunuchs, and at this moment I saw him so self-conscious, I couldn't help but have a little respect.

The guests and hosts drank and feasted happily, and Yan Xianling said politely: "The father-in-law's status is precious, and the local pavilion is rude." How to entertain nobles. It's better to stay in the county house, the county has ordered someone to clean the guest room. ”

Xu Boyi was not polite, and his head agreed, and he was personally sent to the guest room by Yan County's order. Sent away Yan County's order. Xu Boyi drank a cup of tea first, then washed and untied his hair, and went to the bed to rest. Xu Boyi lay on the couch and remembered the concern of Jingzhong. It's like an arrow.

It was difficult for him to go out of the palace and visit the scenery in all directions, which was originally his wish. He was in a hurry to return to Beijing. It's not really because I'm in a hurry to get back to life and don't want to delay my efforts, but because ...... Xia Yingying has arrived in Beijing.

Xia Yingying did not arrive in Beijing for a long time, and arrived half a month before he left the capital. It is troublesome for women to hurry, and it is a whole carriage along the way, going over the mountains and mountains, looking for a road that can walk a carriage, crossing the river and crossing the bridge, and looking for a boat and bridge that can be opened to traffic, the speed is two or three times slower than that of the fast horse, and the result is that the summer set off, and the autumn arrived, and the Wanli Emperor has already seen through the autumn water.

After Xia Yingying arrived in Beijing, she first found a place to settle down, and after resting for two days, she went to the Ministry of Rites to report, and the Ministry of Rites arranged for officials to conduct etiquette training for them for three days before handing over the official document to the Ministry of Communication.

The general political envoy didn't know that the arrival of a certain Tusi lady in Guizhou into Beijing to thank him was actually a matter that the emperor attached great importance to, of course, he didn't regard this as a major event, so he pressed it for another two or three days before reporting it to the emperor.

Fortunately, they didn't know what the emperor was thinking, otherwise this piece might not reach the emperor at all. Because since Yongle, civil officials have become more and more responsible for the world, and the emperor is a part of the world, and he is the representative of the world, so the emperor is also their responsibility.

The civil officials have long regarded themselves as the emperor's strict father and strict teacher, and they are more concerned about the emperor's words and deeds and every move than anyone else, and if they do not conform to their values, they will give full play to the ability to cry, make trouble and hang themselves, and force you to obey by rolling around, so after Hongwu and Yongle, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty are more and more bitter than one another.

When Xu Boyi heard that Xia Yingying had arrived in Beijing, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, Ye Xiaotian took away his woman, causing him to end up like this, he wanted revenge! He wanted to send Ye Xiaotian's woman to the emperor's dragon bed, watching her being invaded and ravaged, and watching Ye Xiaotian in pain, he would be happy.

However, Emperor Wanli felt that he was a high Son of Heaven, and he was so young, not a dying old man, as long as he hooked his fingers, no woman in the whole world could resist him, and would obediently untie his clothes.

Therefore, the happy Wanli Tianzi rewarded Xu Boyi with a beautiful mission sent by Xu Boyi as a reward, and did not let him continue to participate, so that he lost the opportunity to watch and relieve his hatred.

"When I return to Beijing, Xia Yingying should have become His Majesty's woman, right?" The more Xu Boyi thought about it, the happier he became, and it took a long time before he fell asleep beautifully.

"Boom!"

An earth-shattering loud bang woke Xu Boyi up.

"Boom, boom, boom, boom!"

A series of loud explosions rang out, shaking the window paper, and the teapot on the table bounced to the ground and shattered. Since Xu Boyi was punished by the palace, he has fallen into a problem of urinating, and he was frightened by this, and his lower body was wet, and he urinated again.
