Chapter 33: Bullying Old and Young
In Houfu Garden, a rush-grass bed was laid under the green banyan tree. A gust of wind blew, full of the smell of flowers and plants.
Gu Ling'er and her two maids, a total of three beauties, curled up their legs and lay on the mat on their side. Because they were in the inner courtyard, none of them had their hair tied up, and they were covered with black hair like a waterfall, wearing a light shirt. Outside the soft couch was a grape trellis, and the swing was scattered in the wind. The sunshine in the courtyard was shining, the grass and trees were green, and the lake and stone springs were surging. This scene was very poetic. Of course, the most beautiful one was the silhouette of these three girls standing sideways.
Gu Ling'er held the pear that had just been peeled for her in her hand. She looked as big as her head, opened her mouth, bit a small gap, and started chewing happily.
Although she had a lot of food and drink in the Gu family before, she had control over her mother and did not let her eat and eat. Since she got married, she has never been in charge. From this point of view, she still likes to get married, although she doesn't know what it means to get married.
Hou Xuanyan sorted out his official robe, which was made again. It was logically given by the court, but because it was unsafe to bring it all along, Hou Xuanyan simply paid out of his own pocket and made a whole body.
When I walked into the yard, I saw three people. My little wife was holding pears and gnawing them, making her hands full of pear juice. Her mouth was full of them, and the two maids were still lying there to enjoy the cool air. If I had been Gu Mansion again, I would have been beaten red and swollen by my master's sons.
He leaned over, stared at Gu Ling'er with his mouth open and pointed behind him, and said in surprise: "Ling'er, what do you think is that?"
Gu Ling'er looked back curiously with a pair of lacquered eyes. At this stall, she lost her pear in her hand. Hou Xuan turned around like a machine, gnawed her around and returned it to her.
Gu Ling'er looked at the pear in her hand, and there was only the fruit core left. Her small body burst out with huge energy. She got up and saw a set of turtle punches.
Hou Xuanyan laughed and pressed her little head, and all his small fists were swinged in the air.
Xiaoxiao and Ji'er covered their mouths and watched the fun. Women of this age were the most unruly. They came to Hou Hou Mansion and left the wealthy family like the Gu family. Their nature was gradually released. Although Hou Xuanyan was their master, they were not afraid of him at all, because they found out Hou Xuanyan's character.
Hou Xuanyan watched the two of them lying on the mat with their butts sticking out and watching the fun. He had no intention of coming to help. He glared at them, raised his foot and kicked his round buttocks. Well... it was so soft that he almost fell into it.
"What are you looking at? I won't come to help you. I'm going to go out to work."
Xiaoxiao then got up, hugged Gu Ling'er and comforted him, "Miss, we'll just peel it for you again, so I'll give it to my son-in-law."
Hou Xuanyan took the opportunity to escape, walked out with a slutty smile, walked to the door, and turned around and made a face at Gu Ling'er.
Hearing the unwilling roar behind him, he walked out of the yard with satisfaction.
Humph, I waited for someone to punch Nanshan Kindergarten and Beihai Nursing Home. I just bullied the young man, and it was time to bully the elderly...
The plaque of the Suzhou Yamen has been replaced with the Governor's Office.
Behind Hou Xuanyan is his ten thousand years of followers, Hum and Ha.
The soldiers at the yamen have all been replaced by Qin He and his subordinates. After Qin He returned home, he found that his whole family was safe and sound, so he felt relieved.
When he returned to Suzhou, he had already brought his family in, for fear that he would meet someone as shameless as Hou Xuanyan.
"Hey, Mr. Qin, you see, you are still wearing our Ming Dynasty clothes, and you look more like a man." Hou Xuanyan patted his shoulder and said casually.
Qin He did not dare to disobey and lowered his head with a wry smile.
He was originally going to Beijing to serve the king. Who knew that all the officials of all sizes and the officials of the middle and lower level would surrender? What could a middle and lower-level military officer have to go with the flow?
Hou Xuan's performance was over until the end, but he did not intend to go into it. After all, there were too many people who surrendered. If they were killed in one shot, then regaining their hometown and fighting against the current and the northern expedition was like a fool. In history, the large number of those who raised an army against the Qing Dynasty were actually the Ming army that surrendered at the time.
The combat power of these people should not be underestimated, just like the life-and-death enemy of Hou Xuanyan and the Jiading people, Li Chengdong. He later surrendered to the Nanming again, raised the banner of anti-Qing, and caused considerable trouble for the Qing soldiers.
When they arrived at the yamen, they found that it was once again crowded with people. They were still from the Great Landlord Alliance. They went home to wash and savor for a night. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that they could not just let it go. So they spontaneously came to the yamen early in the morning and wanted to express their opinions again.
The old fox Gu Youde actually had this vision and proposed to take one-third of the money. These people laughed at him for making mistakes in old age. But now it is completely different. If Hou Xuan loses, they will have nothing and the money they leave behind will be meaningless. But if he wins, his future profits will not only double.
Now that we talk to him again, we will be facing a rank-up official. I really don’t know how this kid was far away in Suzhou and spread his fame to Fuzhou.
Hou Xuanyan stepped into the room, coughed, and nodded with a smile to indicate one by one.
One of these old men is counted as one, and they are all their own parents who have to be careful.
No one dares to underestimate the assets that a gentry in the most prosperous place in Jiangnan can have.
Hou Xuanyan was glad that he was able to convince Gu Youde and gain the support of these people, otherwise the ending would not be like this now.
There was no one from the Gu family today, and they no longer needed to use these to bring in their relationship with the young governor.
"Everyone is the pillars of our Suzhou, like giant trees that support Suzhou not falling. Suzhou is now in ruins, and officials everywhere are fleeing their lives and surrendering. I want to appoint some people, but unfortunately I know nothing about Suzhou's talents. These positions are necessary for you to recommend them."
The landlords in the hall looked happy and thought in their hearts that their children and nephews had any suitable candidates.
Hou Xuanyan sat leisurely on the head, and there were only a few people beside him, and he could count it with one hand. It would be better to just recommend it to them and use it yourself.
Just as everyone was talking, a soldier ran in panic.
