After seeing off Zhu Dadian, Yan Yingyuan was already dark. Hou Xuanyan looked at the scene outside the window. The sun was still there, but the clouds were much thicker.

The high temperature that lasted for several days was like a steamer that roasted Suzhou City. Although there were signs of rain, there were no rain drops. This kind of weather is even more stuffy and hard to bear.

"It would be better to have a heavy rain tonight so that we can all cool down." Hou Xuanyan said as he looked at him. Hong Yizhuo had already started to form his own intelligence department. Now, only one Yuanbao is still there.

Hou Xuanyan put his arm on his shoulder and smiled and said, "Yuanbao, isn't your sister married in Taicang? When we defeat Hong Chengchou, I'll take you to Taicang. How about it, is it fun?"

Xu Yuanbao smiled silly and said, "Brother, you are going to collect taxes, but I don't know. You must have taken me to work as a coolie along the way and earn favors from me. You are so smart."

Hou Xuanyan laughed and took him to the Hou Mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Yang Qingshan leaning against the door. Hou Xuanyan said, "What are you doing here?"

Yang Qing bent down on the hillside and smiled and said, "Mr. Governor, these are the girls who were sold to Changle Tower by evil monks. The villain was ordered to rescue her, but there was no place to settle her, so he had to send her to the master's house."

Only then did Hou Xuanyan notice that there were two petite girls behind him. One of them was rescued by himself at the gate of Yihong Courtyard, and the other should have been rescued by the constables.

"What's the point? What's going on when I send it to my mansion?" Hou Xuanyan frowned. This would be a bad reputation for the two little girls. It would inevitably cause criticism if they wanted to get married if they were reported in the future.

When Yang Qingshan saw Hou Xuanyan's face, he knew that he had caught a horse's hooves. He hurriedly rescued and said, "The villain sent them to the yamen to stay temporarily."

Hou Xuanyan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, since you have entered this door anyway, it will be bad if you go out again. Those who have good things and talk too much will have to arrange people." He said as he looked at the two timid little beauties and tried to say softly: "Who do you have any relatives in your hometown?"

The woman rescued by the constable was pretty, with a small melon-shaped face and a very slim figure. Because she was wearing the clothes in Changle Tower, she looked slightly exposed, like half of the pink neck exposed under the waterfall's black hair, which was so clear that the blue collars could be seen vaguely, with soft lines and no slimness. Any woman, with a slender figure and not exposed body, is extremely beautiful. Such a beauty looks slim, but when she is on the bed, she is plump and smooth, and the taste is not understood by anyone who has used it. These two in front of her are obviously in line with this point. No wonder she searched all over the south of the Yangtze River and picked out so many to offer to Dorgon.

She whimpered and cried, "Our sisters' parents were all killed by the Qing soldiers, and I had an uncle in Hangzhou. Along the way, Yao'er and I shared the support of our hardships, so we planned to take her to join our uncle."

Hou Xuanyan nodded and said, "It's so great. You guys will rest here for a night. I'll send someone to Hangzhou tomorrow morning."

The two little girls knelt down, but the moment they lowered their heads, their big eyes rolled, and a cramped smile appeared on their faces at the same time.

Hou Xuanyan walked to the inner courtyard alone and happened to run into Xiaoxiao who was humming a tune and was serving. He was angry at the Gu family at noon and had a lot of wine. He was already hungry.

He grabbed the pretty little maid's collar and grabbed a fried golden fish steak from the plate. After eating, he wiped the oil stains on Xiaoxiao's collar. He bulged his cheeks and waited for Hou Xuanyan with grievance.

"Hehe, look at your stingyness. Isn't it just a piece of clothes? I'll give you three or four pieces of money!"

Xiaoxiao turned anger into joy. While carrying vegetables, she often walked around the house. She chattered to Hou Xuan about which store in Suzhou had the best clothes and the price was fair. Hou Xuanyan agreed casually, and the little girl was already secretly happy.

"Big idiot, I have only gotten one old clothes dirty and can change to four new clothes."

When he arrived at the door, Hou Xuanyan approached her ear and said terrifiedly: "When Ling'er is asleep tonight, you and Ji'er come outside, I'll tell you to see a baby."

Xiaoxiao's pretty face, which was originally smirking, turned into a big red cloth. She lowered her head and bit her lips and walked into the room in small steps.

......

The next morning, Hou Xuanyan was refreshed and got up from the two sleeping maids.

After washing up on his own, he looked at the two people who were not awake. Hou Xuanyan was proud: "Who said there are only oxes that are exhausted and not ploughed in broken fields? I think this kind of thing, so what kind of cows can I get."

When he came to the big tree in the courtyard, Hou Xuanyan practiced the Taoist sword technique that Hong Yizhuo taught him, and felt comfortable all over.

At this time, a strange scream of "Ah" came from the room, which scared Hou Xuanyan so much that he almost inserted his sword into his feet.

The sound should be in my room. It was strange. I gritted my teeth last night and didn't dare to scream. Why did I scream in the morning? The reflex arc is too long.

When I hurried to the room, I saw Ji'er and Xiaoxiao, their eyes were red and swollen, and they were crying against each other.

Gu Ling'er sat at the table, resting her chin on the table, staring at them with big eyes.

"What's going on?"

Gu Ling'er was a little devil, sighed and said in a silence: "We are here, we have stolen all their jewelry!"

Hou Xuanyan breathed a sigh of relief. Losing something was nothing. He was rich and how much money could the jewelry of the two maids be worth. While comforting the two maids, he touched Gu Ling'er's head and asked, "Your jewelry is all the same, why didn't you steal yours?"

Gu Ling'er slapped her chest and said proudly: "It's all stolen, mine was stolen too. But I have money, as much jewelry as I want, Sister Ji'er and Sister Xiaoxiao are different, alas."

When the two maids heard this, they cried even more sadly.

Hou Xuanyan quickly promised: "It's okay, don't cry anymore, buy and buy."

He slapped the table and said angrily: "It's a rebellion, I've stolen it on my head in Suzhou!"

At this time, a bloated and somewhat thick-black woman came to the yard and said, "Master, you brought back two girls are gone." Xiaoxiao was sad, Ji'er's ears suddenly stood up, and she didn't bother to cry, and she nervously heard what kind of girl it was.

Hou Xuanyan was stunned for a moment, walked out and asked, "What girl?"

"It was just that I brought back two pretty little girls yesterday. Butler Yang asked Lao Shen to clean up the guest room for them. When they woke up in the morning, they disappeared and left a note."

Hou Xuanyan took it and saw his beautiful handwriting, saying, "Thank you for your rescue, it's hard to walk on the road, you can get some money and repay your kindness after you have a great favor."
