Time always flows away inadvertently, and it is May in the blink of an eye, and the weather is getting hotter in the middle of summer.

On the 14th year of Zhengde in the Ming Dynasty, on the Dragon Boat Festival, heavy rain fell across Jiangxi, and a fleet of ships appeared in the Poyang Lake with black winds and black waves. Dozens of ships were undulating violently among the waves. The soldiers on the ship were tilted, and some even turned green in fear. They were the Beijing army and most of them were not familiar with water.

There was a bower ship in the fleet, which was relatively stable because it was largely wide. However, at this moment, a eunuch in the cabin was still vomiting with a spittoon in his arms, and the two little eunuchs were waiting.

A general in his thirties was sitting on a rosewood chair with a golden sword, and he was calm and composed, but he obviously disliked the vomiting eunuch and turned his head to look elsewhere.

It is said that summer is a little brat, and it will change your face as soon as you say it changes. The storm came in a hurry and went quickly. It suffocated for about a quarter of an hour and then calmed down. Poyang Lake immediately calmed down, and the hull finally stopped shaking violently.

The vomiting eunuch seemed to have been through a gate of hell, and handed the spittoon to the little eunuch beside him, and said weakly: "I almost cost half my life. I will kill my family when I return to death."

"Eunuch Zhang, you have told you not to follow me. Now you have suffered a lot. You must take a boat when you return. If Eunuch Zhang doesn't mind, you can go back to Beijing by carriage." The general next to him had a hint of gloating in his tone.

Eunuch Zhang retorted: "Oh, General Xu is so sarcastic. Are you afraid that our family will steal your credit or money?"

The general said indifferently: "Eunuch Zhang wants credit and money, so he wants to go to Wang Shouren!"

Eunuch Zhang sneered: "Isn't General Xu thinking that's the case?"

The general was told his thoughts and snorted coldly and refused to respond.

By the way, this eunuch Zhang is called Zhang Zhong, an eunuch of the Imperial Horse Prison. He is one of the eunuchs whom he favors today. This time he followed the emperor south to fight in person as a military supervisor. Zhang Zhong is not a good person. He is collectively known as "Three Zhangs" with eunuch Zhang Xiong of the Sili Prison and eunuch of the Dongchang Governor Zhang Rui. They are both difficult little devils. They have done many bad things with the emperor's favor and have a very bad reputation.

The military general was named Xu Tai, the top scholar in the 17th year of Hongzhi. He came from a martial arts family and participated in the uprising of Liu Liu and Liu Qi. At the end of the year before yesterday, he followed the emperor Zhu Houzhao to the Xuanfu in northern tour, and won the "Yingzhou Victory", repelled the invading Tatar prince and was promoted to Anbian Bo.

Therefore, Xu Tai's military quality is still excellent, but his character is not very good. He is with Jiang Bin and other slanderous ministers, bewitching the superiors and bullying the subordinates, and is also greedy for merits and cruelty. This time, Xu Tai followed the emperor Zhu Houzhao to the south as a mighty deputy general.

Speaking of the last time he followed the emperor to the north to hunt for Anbian Bo, Xu Tai tasted the sweetness. This time he followed the emperor south to suppress the rebellion, so he naturally wanted to go further and get a marquis. However, things went against his wishes. The army led by the emperor had just set out to leave the capital, and Wang Shouren's good news came, and the opportunity to make contributions naturally faded. Therefore, Xu Tai was extremely angry and even more jealous of Wang Shouren's contributions.

Because of this, Xu Tai asked the emperor to lead thousands of pioneer troops to Nanchang, preparing to grab King Ning first and then embezzle Wang Shouren's credit. However, the eunuch Zhang Zhong coveted the wealth in Prince Ning's mansion, so he followed him.

So, a general who was greedy for merit and a eunuch who sought wealth led thousands of Beijing troops to attack Nanchang in a hurry. Unfortunately, both of them were destined to be disappointed. Lao Wang (Wang Shouren) had a foresight and took King Ning to leave Nanchang for the north half a month ago, and took the land route, cleverly avoiding Zhang Zhong and Xu Tai.

...

The burning of agarwood will relieve the heat. The birds and birds will cry out in the sun, and the words will be heard by the eaves in the morning. The leaves will dry and rain on the sun, and the water will be clear and round, and the lotus will be raised one by one.

The trees after the rain were wet, but they were soon evaporated by the scorching sun.

In the study, mosquito-repellent strips were burned, and the breeze after the rain blew in from outside the window, bringing some coolness. The "Spring and Autumn" opened on the desk was blown so that the pages of the book were turned around, making a slight sound.

At this moment, Xu Jin was lying on the couch for a morning nap, covering his body with a thin quilt. Xie Xiaowan sat next to the couch and gently drove away mosquitoes for her husband. When summer came, these annoying little things emerged in groups.

Xu Xiaowan wore a thin summer skirt today. The little girl is fifteen years old in a few months. She has grown a little taller. In addition, she doesn’t need to be exposed to the wind and sun, and her skin has become whiter and more handsome. The little steamed bun on her chest tends to grow into meat buns. The girl’s curves are more obvious. In addition, because of her martial arts, her two long legs and a round little beauties look elastic and her buttocks are full of youth.

Xie Xiaowan fanned her husband for a while, stood up gently, walked to the desk to close the "Spring and Autumn Annals", and walked to the outside room gently. Sure enough, she saw Yue'er holding a stack of manuscripts and reading them with relish, but she looked "scared" on her face.

"Damn girl, you know that you are reading my husband's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". The book was blown so hard that it was blown and didn't come in to help!" Xie Xiaowan slapped Yue'er's back of her head with a round fan and said angrily.

Yue'er stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and said with a smile: "Didn't you say that you don't say that you are so powerful? Why are there so many weird things in the master's mind? The story of fox, fox, and evil spirits is really good. People used to think that the master hasn't learned it yet, but it turned out... Madam, let's read it yourself, and I don't know where the master learned it badly!"

After saying that, Yue'er blushed and spat. Obviously, there are some descriptions that are not suitable for children in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

Xie Xiaowan's pretty face suddenly burned. Although she and her husband had not yet fulfilled her family, they had basically done all the intimate things between men and women. They even said it not long ago, so they naturally thought that the "bad" of husband's school was practiced by her.

The master and servant were talking whispering when suddenly a maid came in from outside, which was Liu'er.

Xie Xiaowan smiled and said, "Liu'er, is there anything wrong?"

Liu'er glanced inside first, then bowed to Xie Xiaowan and said, "Madam, County Magistrate Li is outside and has something to look for the master."

Xie Xiaowan said: "Oh, the master is taking a nap at noon, why don't you let County Chief Li come later."

"But County Chief Li said there was an urgent matter!"

Although Xie Xiaowan felt sorry for her husband's tired of studying hard recently, she did not dare to delay in business affairs and quickly said, "That's it, then I'll go in and wake him up now!" After that, she turned around and walked inward.

Yue'er stopped Liu'er who wanted to take the opportunity to follow into the room and said indifferently: "Liu'er, you go back first. The master will go out to see County Chief Li later."

Liu'er could only exit the room in disappointment!

...

When Xu Jin heard that the county magistrate had an urgent matter to look for him, he did not dare to neglect him at the moment. He quickly put on his official uniform under Xie Xiaowan's service, washed his face and went to the front yamen.

It is already May and the provincial examination will be held in more than two months, so Xu Jin has been studying in seclusion during this period, and all the affairs of the county magistrate and the head of the county magistrate were left to the county magistrate and the head of the magistrate. These two people are also very sensible. If it were not for an important matter, they would never have been to the Houya to disturb Xu Jin.

Xu Jin brought Erniu to the second hall of the county government office. County Magistrate Li Wen was already waiting and looked anxious.

Xu Jin had a bad premonition in his heart and asked, "Mr. Li, what happened?"

When Li Wen saw Xu Jin, he hurriedly said, "Mr. County Master, it's not good. The fight is going to start at the gate of the North City. You can go and have a look!"

Xu Jin frowned and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?"

Li Wen replied: "Xu Tai, the Anbian Bo, who was in charge of the expedition, and Zhang Zhong, the army supervisor, came and led his army into the city, but he was stopped by Meng Chang, the commander-in-chief in charge of the city defense, and the two sides had a conflict."

Xu Jin was slightly surprised and blurted out: "The emperor has arrived?"

"That's not the case. The imperial guards have just arrived in Yangzhou, and Xu Tai and Zhang Zhong arrived first." Li Wen was obviously disdainful of Xu and Zhang, so he called them by their names.

Xu Jin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thinking that Zhengde and Zhu Houzhao had come, and it turned out that he was still traveling around in Yangzhou, and said in confusion: "You should ask Lord Wu to come forward for this matter!"

Now the governor Wang Shouren is not here, and the highest commander of Nanchang City is Wu Wending, the prefect of Ji'an. Speaking of which, when Wang Shouren went north to offer prisoners, he appointed Wu Wending as the Censor of the Censorate, and temporarily generalizes all affairs in Nanchang.

Li Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Wu took people out of the city this morning to inspect the flood situation and have not returned yet."

When Xu Jin heard this, he could only summon his personal soldiers and the yamen to the north city gate. According to Wang Shouren's appointment, assisting in the city defense was also one of his tasks. Now that the guardians and soldiers had a conflict with the army from the capital, he naturally had to come forward. If serious consequences occur, he, the county magistrate, would be held accountable.
