Chapter 58 Someone wants to pick Mr. Xiaohou's peaches
The continuous rainy days alleviated the scorching heat in Jiangnan, but also brought new problems.
Suzhou City is crowded with refugees coming from all over the world. Because of the lack of housing resettlement, most of these people eat and sleep on the street. The continuous rain has caused these already exhausted refugees to suffer from illness.
As the lord of Suzhou, Hou Xuanyan took the lead and was sick first.
Hou Xuanyan lay in the grass outside Hangzhou city for a day and night, and then did not sleep the next night, and was wet for a night of rain. Even his body was so stunning, he couldn't bear it, let alone his body was just a scholar.
In the study of Hou's mansion, a small bed was dripping through the window, and the sound of rain kept ticking. Xiaoxiao, who had a slender figure and white skin, sat at the head of the bed, naked in the wide blue silk robe, and her snowy muscles were white and dazzling, extremely smooth. She placed her plump thighs on the side of the bed and made a soft "pillow". Hou Xuanyan pillowed on these jade legs, her eyes closed slightly, and enjoyed a rare rest. The body under her head was soft and soft, and the familiar collar was fragrant and ventilated. She smelled it with peace of mind. Hou Xuanyan had a calm effect on her spirit.
Ji'er looked heartbroken, holding a white towel in his hand, put it in warm water and gently pressed it, then wrung the water and placed it on his forehead. After opening a flower, Ji'er's already majestic and spectacular chest seemed to be a little plump again, and there were two rolling balls in her collar, which looked more feminine. She felt sorry for her master, raised her pretty little face with tears, and was filled with heartache.
At this time, there was a man in a straw raincoat outside the door. Hou Xuanyan, who was half asleep and half awake, sat up in vain and asked, "Has the Qing soldiers attacked the city?"
The man outside the door replied after hearing the voice: "You are the commander-in-chief, Xu Yuanbao and the others are back."
Hou Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief, rubbed his smooth and plump legs, and said, "Let Yan Yingyuan, Gu Yanwu, Xu Yuanbao come to see me."
The man took the order and left, and the two Jieyuhuas also hired Tingting to leave 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 slam. Hou Xuanyan cursed before he even opened his eyes: "Yuanbao, this door is more valuable than your body flesh. Can you afford it if it is broken?"
When I opened my eyes, I found that the person who bumped into the door was either someone else, or the chubby Xu Yuanbao.
Xu Yuanbao disagreed and said casually: "Isn't this an ordinary ebony? Our family used to be like this. Brother, don't exaggerate and raise your own value."
"I really want to give you a complete collection of idioms."
Yan Yingyuan, who came in, gently closed the door, and went up with Gu Yanwu and asked, "Is the governor's body okay?"
"A mere minor illness, cough...no, cough cough..." Hou Xuanyan couldn't breathe and began to cough.
Gu Yanwu hurriedly took the teacup from the desk and brought it to the bedside and handed it to Hou Xuanyan.
"I'm not the time to come for my illness. I'll have to worry about all the big and small matters in Suzhou."
Gu Yanwu looked at Hou Xuanyan who fell ill and looked worried, and said with a forced expression: "The commander-in-chief doesn't have to worry about it. Suzhou City is united. Even Hong Chengchou can't do anything to us."
Hou Xuanyan shook his head and covered his mouth and asked, "Yuanbao, I asked you to go to the city to investigate how many soldiers and horses Hong Chengchou brought to Jinling. Have you ever seen it?"
"Hundreds of personal soldiers, protecting his frame, will enter the city."
Yan Yingyuan, who was silent on the side, suddenly interrupted and said, "This is a military emergency. He didn't have time to wait for the army, so he went to Jiangning first."
Hou Xuanyan smiled, stirred his throat and coughed for a while: "He is afraid of how many soldiers can Qinggou have, haha, he is afraid that we will fight Jinling."
Gu Yanwu browed and said, "What the governor said is not bad. The Qing Dynasty invaded the Central Plains, but in fact it didn't fight a few tough battles at all. Except for fighting with Chuang Ni, the rest were all those traitors surrendered. Half of the great rivers and mountains were sent out by them."
When Yan Yingyuan saw that they understood what they meant, they continued to keep silent.
Hou Xuanyan lay down on the bed, looked at the carved beams and painted pillars on the roof, and whispered: "Let's not care about him for now. The most important thing now is the stability of Suzhou. These days, it's raining heavily and not sunny for days. You told Xia Yunyi that he would take the people and start to go out of Suzhou City. How many counties are there between Suzhou and Hangzhou?"
Gu Yanwu looked happy and said, "We have taken down Wujiang County long ago, and many other prefectures and counties also have Yishen and villagers, anyway, Lord Chen Zilong is busy appointing officials in these places recently."
"Hmm? Why didn't anyone tell me?" Hou Xuanyan's eyes flashed and he asked in a deep voice.
"The commander-in-chief is not in good condition..." Gu Yanwu hesitated and obviously knew about it.
Hou Xuanyan laughed: "Chen Zilong is a giant in Fushe and the leader of Donglin. He thinks he can be a family in Jiangnan. The court appointed me as the governor of the Suppression and Recovery, and he can appoint and remove officials at the prefectures and counties of Jiangsu and Zhejiang by himself. Unexpectedly, Chen Zilong also has this power, so I will report to the emperor. Since he has arranged for him to do it, he will let him do it."
Gu Yanwu looked embarrassed. When Chen Zilong did this, he did persuade him. However, Chen Zilong thought he was devoted to the country and indeed he had the idea of being one of the leaders of Fushe with high reputation in Jiangnan. There were too many things to be busy with in Suzhou City, and Gu Yanwu had no time to argue with him. And judging from Chen Zilong's attitude, whoever dared to fight with him would wait to be criticized.
Yan Yingyuan, who was standing beside him, saw the awkward atmosphere and spoke, "The general situation is the most important thing."
Hou Xuanyan snorted and said, "Let Chen Zilong come to see me."
Xu Yuanbao listened on the side, vaguely knowing that it was a man named Chen Zilong. He took advantage of his illness and did something sorry for him. Seeing that his elder brother was not kind, he kicked the door open with hatred and shouted, "I'll call him now!"
"Yuanbao, your uncle, I'm the best ebony spirit sculpture."
The Donglin Party is in Jiangnan, like a bone-bearing gangrene. If they are not careful, they will take advantage of loopholes. Moreover, these people often claim to be righteous. Whoever is incompatible with him will harm the country and the people. However, after years of evolution, this group has long been engraved in their bones. I worked hard to plant big trees, fertilize and water them, and see that the fruits are ripe. You want to pick the peaches played by me, Hou Xuan, but I want to see if your hands are long enough!
