At night, Hou Xuanyan rubbed his hands and stood at the door of the outer courtyard.

All the trusted confidants whom I can trust are present, and except for a few of them, they don’t know what to do.

Although Suzhou has been recovered, the curfew system has not been fully restored, but there is no one on the road at night. There are only young and strong guards organized by Xia Yunyi in the streets and alleys, and they occasionally pass by.

Finally, on the quiet street, there were sounds of horse hooves and the sound of wheels rubbing against the ground. The sound was harsh and terrifying, but in Hou Xuanyan's ears, it was as beautiful as a fairy music.

"Open the door, open the door as big as you can. If you don't, just open it for me. Haha, with this money, we will be in Suzhou in the future." Suzhou Prefecture has been prosperous for hundreds of years, unlike the nine borders of Shaanxi and Gansu, where there is no need to buy food. However, in Suzhou, Hou Xuanyan has a golden sign appointed by the imperial court. As long as he has money, he can raise an armed force as quickly as possible.

Among the refugee people gathered in Suzhou, many of them were defeated soldiers who fled from the north. Most of these officials surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Some of them were unwilling to surrender, or had a bloody hatred of the Manchus, all fled to Suzhou. With a little training, these people were just a group of powerful elite soldiers. Since they did not become deserters and raiders to harm the people, it means that the military discipline and military style are also good.

At this time, the area around Suzhou Prefecture looked like Shandong and Henan when the Qing soldiers entered the pass. At that time, the Qing soldiers were busy fighting against Li Zicheng and had no time to care about it. There were no borders everywhere. The Central Plains was in an anarchic environment for several months. Often, an official led dozens of subordinates to control a big city.

Now all the main Qing soldiers in Suzhou Prefecture were killed, and the leaderless group fell into chaos and were defeated by Wu Yi and others. Although the Qing soldiers from Taicang were commanded by Li Chengdong and others, who would have worked hard in Suzhou Prefecture, they had already fled back to Songjiang and defended their nests. After all, there was endless wealth they had plundered there, and the soldiers and horses in their hands were not looked at locally, and they would not even be able to eat.

After a simple handover, he was busy until the second half of the night and still had not finished shipping. Gu Jiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Son-in-law, let's go here today. The old man means that we will deliver the rest slowly."

Hou Xuanyan nodded. This was originally a gentleman's agreement. Since he had paid part of it, Gu Youde no longer had to blame the debt. He was a villain in vain. He simply acted generously, which could make Gu Youde, an old lewd guy, look at him with admiration.

The white gold and silver were hidden in boxes and transported to the warehouse in the inner courtyard of Hou Mansion. Yang Shu unpacked the boxes and checked them in boxes. Hou Xuanyan sneered and said, "Uncle Yang, when will you be tested? In the future, we will be a big family. The habits of your small family must be changed."

Yang Shu smiled awkwardly and said that he was still too unaware of it. Look at the eldest young master's demeanor, he really can't fight. Thinking of this, he looked at Hou Xuanyan with admiration, and felt that the eldest young master's eyes were distracted and he didn't take the money seriously. "The eldest young master is in the world, but it turns out that this little money can touch his mind."

After everyone left, after arranging the manpower to guard the warehouse day and night, Hou Xuan, who was not worthy of fighting, had his legs trembled and his breathing was rapid. It seemed that his eyes were just dissipated, and he was obviously blinded by money and lost his mind. He closed the warehouse door reluctantly, moved his footsteps hard, and walked towards the inner courtyard. In fact, he hoped to sleep here in his heart.

"How many lottery tickets did you win?" He has never seen so much money in his two lives, and Hou Xuanyan walked lightly.

Having seen the bloody storm and the tragic massacre of the city; having survived the artillery fire, the army was overwhelmed. Hou Xuanyan believed that he had seen the world, but he was unable to resist it in front of money. Indeed, there is a hidden greed in the depths of human nature, and money is the most direct temptation.

Hou Xuanyan needs more experience, perhaps to transcend this state of mind and achieve a state of mind where wealth is not enough to move his heart. At this moment, he even feels that golden ingots flowing in his blood vessels.

After breathing a sigh of relief, calming down his pounding heart. Hou Xuanyan wanted to spread the word everywhere about how much money he had now. But at the same time, he had another voice in his heart, advising him to keep his mouth shut. Such a contradictory and complex state of mind made him excited.

"Well, it's wrong for me to do this. I have to control myself. You have to know that wealth and honor cannot be lustful, um? lustful? Well..."

Pushing open his door, the bright moonlight scattered happily in the room. On the small bed in the outer hall, a fair and delicate body flowed out an arc of light under the moonlight. Xiaoxiao and Gu Ling'er slept in the inner room, and only Ji'er was left on the bed outside. It was a midsummer night, and even at night, the weather was quite hot.

Half of Ji'er's body was exposed outside, and a halo under the moonlight made Hou Xuanyan think of a sentence "The fragrance of jade in the quiet night". His pretty face had a hint of tranquility and less cunning that was often seen during the day. This body was fatal attraction to Hou Xuanyan, who was restless at this time, and he needed a vent. Ji'er was his young wife's personal maid. In this era, he could not get married, and could only follow him for the restlessness of him. Therefore, Hou Xuanyan had no guilt, so he slowly leaned forward. His big hands slowly stroked his white wrist and jade arms. When he wrapped his waist, he tied his clothes and tied his clothes in two parts, and the spring inside was fully visible.

Ji'er was sleeping lightly. She felt the movement around her. She opened her sleepy eyes. She saw that it was her son-in-law under the moonlight and muttered, "Son-in-law, are you back? I'll wait for you to change your clothes and sleep." After that, she deliberately was lazy. Based on her past experience, the son-in-law would take off her clothes and sleep by herself.

"What are you sleeping in? I won't sleep tonight!"

"Oh, then I'll go to bed first, my son-in-law slowly..."

With a crisp sound, Ji'er, who was about to fall asleep, covered her butt and raised her head, spat, and said in panic: "What are you trying to hit someone?"

As a maid from a wealthy family, she could vaguely feel what was about to happen. The son-in-law's eyes were scary, as if he was about to eat people, Ji'er secretly tightened the blanket on her body.

Hou Xuanyan tiptoed to the inner room and saw the two people sleeping soundly, so he felt relieved. He turned around and looked lustful, and smiled and said, "I mean, we are not sleeping."

Ji'er's eyes were dodging and she didn't dare to look directly at Hou Xuanyan. Her sleepiness had long disappeared, and her little heart was thumping, as if she was about to jump into her throat. Hou Xuanyan thought she had no strange habits, but when she saw her frightened bird, she became inexplicably excited.

"Auntie, what are you going to do?"

"you!"
