Town Ziyang is a very tiny area, the city south orangery is apart from the county also 12 li (0.5 km). The garden advocated that the friend lives in the city, city south orangery usually only then two senior gardeners are responsible for handling, the fruit mature period increases is eight. 紫阳县城不过是弹丸之地,城南橘园距县城也就一二里地。园主张朋住在城里,城南这处橘园平常只有两个老园丁负责打理,果子成熟期则增加为八个。 The goal of increase personnel is to prevent some people steals, now the orange has picked, only waits for in Capital the person, therefore the caretaker personnel turned into four, because after the orange picks, installs the basket laying aside strongly to safeguard, four person feet. 增加人员的目的是为了防止有人偷盗,如今橘子已经采摘完毕,只等京里来人,所以留守人员就变成了四个,因为橘子采摘后装筐放置集中看管,四个人足矣。 First saw open/stretch Peng to relay station deputy, explained the situation to him, actually opens friend that wigwam to empty is also emptying, lives in previous one to have what important late, really must be money also few, might as well be used to arrange the favor, therefore opens landlord to consent generously, money naturally does not need to calculate. 向驿丞先去见了张朋,对他说明了情况,其实张朋那棚屋空着也是空着,借人住上一晚有什么打紧,真要算钱也没几个,不如用来打点人情,所以张员外慨然应允,钱自然是不用算的。 Opens landlord with not to calculate money to relay station deputy, to above renders an account can actually calculate money when to relay station deputy, these then slightly gained one, to especially be happy, is getting Ye Xiaotian and the others personally, accompanied by Zhang Residence family member orangery. 张员外不跟向驿丞算钱,向驿丞向上面报账时却是可以算钱的,这其中便小赚了一笔,是以格外开心,亲自领着叶小天等人,在张府家人的陪同下到了橘园。 The house in orangery is very crude, is mainly used for in the hiemal climate and rainstorm season moves in indoor storage the orange, but wins in the place is big enough, ventilates good. 橘园的屋舍都很简陋,主要是用来在寒冷气候及暴雨时节将橘树移入室内储放的,不过胜在地方够大,通风良好。 The skin vice- thousand always on the group roads have after the unvisited place, led horse hold/container, at this time horse shop of package in toward ground, although is less comfortable than the inn, compared with was much better in the wilderness camping. 皮副千总一行人路上也有经过人迹罕至的地方,都是带了马包的,这时把马包往地面上一铺,虽不比客栈舒坦,也比在荒郊野外露营好多了。 Four gardeners enters three houses is the tile-roofed house, in the entire orangery also such a place most looks like the appearance, has acts to arrange to relay station deputy, four gardener natural little darlings move, leapt here to Ye Xiaotian and skin vice- thousand always and several other hundred households and a chief flag kind of official. 四个园丁所住的一进三间的房子是瓦房,整个橘园里也就这么一处地方最像样子,有向驿丞出面打点,四个园丁自然乖乖搬出去,把这儿腾给了叶小天和皮副千总以及另外几个百户、总旗一类的官员。 Said to Ye Xiaotian to relay station deputy: „Sir, you are first resting, I walk has told in the hall post to prepare food, a while sends.” 向驿丞对叶小天道:“大人,你们先歇着,我走的时候就已吩咐馆驿里做饭了,一会儿就送来。” At this point, smiles to relay station deputy, said: „To some are good at attending, fellow Sirs are laborious, a while to some makes several meals personally.

Tipsy feeling said/tunnel: „Gunpowder is actually easy to do. You also know, various headmen will accumulate some flintlock gunpowder somewhat, that is a sharp weapon. But my Guizhou province near the border, this east and west was not rarity, in addition quarried a mountain pioneer/monarch path also to use it, so long as had money to have the method, wants to get so far as it is not difficult.” 展虎喝了口酒。略带酒意地道:“火药倒是好办。你也知道,各家土司多多少少都会屯积些火枪火药,那是利器呀。而我贵州毗邻边境,这东西就不是稀罕物儿了,再加上开山辟路也要用到它,所以只要有钱有门路,想弄到它并不难。” Unfolded the tiger to pinch a vegetable/dish, bleary eyes Nie Mu Dong, said: „As for getting buried into that big room. Was easier. So long as a column confuses the fragrance, lets fell asleep look that the president labor rests dies, digs a hole to bury the gunpowder, the earth moving floor tile. A late foot! Does not need to bury deeply, hehe......” 展虎挟了口菜,醉眼乜着沐东,道:“至于埋进那大屋。就更容易了。只要一柱迷香,让本就睡着了的看园长工睡得更死一些,挖洞埋火药,运土铺地砖。一晚足矣！又不需要埋多深,呵呵……” Unfolds the tiger complacent said/tunnel: „Even if they then discovered that night rests is too dead, does not have to go on night patrol, the orange has not lost in any case. Also will confess to the owner on own initiative? Confessed, what inadequate can their owners also suspect?” 展虎得意洋洋地道:“就算他们回头发现当夜睡的太死,没起来巡夜,反正橘子又没丢。还会主动向东主坦白？就是坦白了,他们的东主还能疑心什么不成？” Guo Jianwu praised: „Greatly wonderful! Tonight can make that leaf Zei meet a cruel death!” 郭建武赞道:“大妙！如此说来,今夜就能让那叶贼粉身碎骨了！” Unfolds the tiger to have a look at the weather. Eats to say with a smile: „Comes, drinks wine, drinks wine, weather still wasn't early, anxious. When the double-hour was similar, we go to the city north camping, then dives to go to the city south to look at the fireworks quietly, ha haha......” 展虎看看天色。吃吃笑道:“来来来,吃酒,吃酒,天色尚早,不急不急。等到时辰差不多了,咱们就去城北露营,然后悄悄潜去城南看焰火,哈哈哈……” Guo Jianwu and Mu Dong also laugh loudly, three people carry the wine glass, tosses down excitedly. 郭建武和沐东也放声大笑起来,三人端起酒杯,兴奋地一饮而尽。 ...... …… At this time, the Ziyang county magistrate strict Yifei grand feast receives cordially an honored guest, this honored guest is a surface does not need white/in vain the brocade clothes person, is a court eunuch who the imperial palace imperial palace sends, surnamed Yu, called odd/surplus Xiaobai. 此时,紫阳县令严亦非正盛宴款待一位贵客,这位贵客是个面白无须的锦衣人,乃是皇宫内廷派来的一位太监,姓余,叫余小白。 This odd/surplus Xiaobai naturally is Xu Boyi, Xu Boyi now has not been the big court eunuch, but also calculated line of business not low officials in the imperial palace. The officials easily cannot leave the imperial palace, as long as can receive orders Capital, is a glory, can fish an opportunity greatly. 这余小白自然就是徐伯夷,徐伯夷现在还算不上大太监,但在内廷也算职司不低的一个宦官了。宦官轻易是不能离开内廷的,但凡能奉旨出京,就是一个荣耀,也是能大捞一笔的机会。 The civil official is in power, the imperial palace influence is limited in Capital City, even if some civil officials want to flatter them, is worried to cause preemptions of other civil officials, will still be discrete. Once had/left Capital, they have the imperial envoy status in the body, the local official welcomes and sees off is fair. 要知道,文官当权,内廷势力在京城是有限的,有些文官即便想巴结他们,担心引起其他文官的排挤,也会非常谨慎。而一旦出了京,他们有钦差身份在身,地方官迎来送往就是合情合理的。 Takes this status as the shield, some moral courage not that noble place lesser officials flatter to welcome strongly, was the logical matter. 以这种身份为掩护,一些气节不那么高尚的地方小官竭力巴结奉迎,就是顺理成章之事了。 However, Bai Duke is not an ordinary father-in-law, the imperial palace father-in-law, even if studies to be literate, even the scholarship is as good the official who outside successful candidate comes, they still the book that read in the private study, constrained by their environment, the knowledge was as good outside official, but was the histrionics is entirely different. 不过,小白公公不是一个普通的公公,内廷里的公公就算读书识字,甚至才学不逊于外廷进士出身的官员,他们也是在内书房读的书,囿于他们所处的环境,学识不逊于外廷官员,但为人作派还是大不相同的。 Therefore once most imperial palace officials have the opportunity to go out, chats the ostentation inevitably, awe-inspiring. The people leaving a good name, the wild goose has kept the sound, they have a palace is not easy, god knows this, where can not make widely known for a lifetime imposingly. 所以大部分内廷宦官一旦有机会出去,必然大摆排场,威风八面。人过留名,雁过留声,他们出一趟宫不容易,天知道一辈子是不是就这一回,哪能不轰轰烈烈地张扬一番。 But Bai Duke is an alternative, he first was Juren (graduate), the less advanced palace, entered the palace to be the court eunuch by the Juren (graduate) academic honor, such character high and low in 5000, was the scorpion defecates probably- alone. 但小白公公是个另类,他是先中了举人,后进的宫,以举人功名而入宫做太监,这样的人物上下五千年,大概也是蝎子拉屎—独一份儿。 Therefore psychologically, Xu Boyi regards itself Scholar, is the deep bosom despises to eunuch community. Therefore Wanli bestowed his opportunity, he did not think that was how the rare opportunity, after having Capital, was not high-profile, did not fight the imperial envoy insignia, today the evening suddenly appears in front of strict county magistrate, but also has a scare strict county magistrate, thinks that he was pretends the officials, the intention swindles out of the wealth, when saw his imperial envoy frontier guard official seal, this believes. 因此在心理上,徐伯夷还是把自己当成一个读书人,对阉人这个群体是深怀鄙视的。所以万历赐他这个机会,他并不觉得是如何难得的机会,出京后并不张扬,也不打起钦差仪仗,今儿傍晚突然出现在严县令面前,还把严县令吓了一跳,以为他是假冒宦官,意图诈取钱财,待见了他的钦差关防印信,这才相信。 Strict county magistrate said to Xu Boyi with a smile: „Father-in-law odd/surplus, you are difficult to obtain our Ziyang to come, the bright Japanese officers accompany you to tour and Ziyang scenery, how?” 严县令含笑对徐伯夷道:“余公公,您难得到我们紫阳来一趟,明日本官且陪你游逛一下紫阳风光,如何？” Xu Boyi glanced his one eyes, light said/tunnel: „This imperial envoy this comes, to receive the tribute orange, these fresh thing, bans stores?” 徐伯夷瞟了他一眼,淡淡地道:“本钦差此来,是为了接收贡橘,那些生鲜之物,禁得储放么？” Saying of court eunuch are many, says the servants to the emperor, to same level says me, says the husband to the subordinate. Some not too commonly used saying, has the senior officials use of line of business, that is to the emperor from professing allegiance, the foreign official says the formal name. 太监的自称很多,对皇帝自称奴婢,对同级自称咱家,对下级自称老公。还有一些不太常用的自称,是有职司的高级宦官使用的,那就是对皇帝自称臣,对外廷官员自称官名。 Because the emperor often called the court eunuch the factory feudal official and court official, therefore high-level court eunuch also by minister posed as, when for example on then guarding court eunuch memorial to the emperor from professing allegiance such and such how, but the foreign official said how this factory Duke, this factory supervised. Xu Boyi thought that the eunuch is a very shame status, now has the opportunity. The nature said by this imperial envoy. 因为皇帝往往称太监为厂臣、内臣,所以高级太监也以大臣自居,比如当时的镇守太监上奏折时都是自称臣某某如何如何,而对外廷官员则自称本厂公、本厂督如何如何。徐伯夷觉得阉宦是一种很羞辱的身份,如今有机会。自然以本钦差自称。 Strict county magistrate smiles, said: „Father-in-law felt relieved, these tribute oranges have the law of storage, can lay aside a winter, 35 days of time, is not important.” 严县令莞尔一笑,道:“公公放心,这些贡橘都有储放之法,可以放置一冬的,三五天功夫,不打紧。” Xu Boyi shakes the head, said: „No! This imperial envoy Saint life in body, but how privately waste Duke, tomorrow has examined the tribute orange, instantly the solution goes to returns to the capital!” 徐伯夷摇摇头,道:“不！本钦差圣命在身,岂可因私废公,明日验过贡橘,即刻解赴回京！” Strict county magistrate listened to this saying. Lives the meaning of admiration to this court eunuches secretly, previously saw his style of speaking to be elegant, is not only not extremely arrogant is not vulgar, this strict county magistrate has some favorable impressions, thought that court eunuches in this court eunuches and these legends are not really same, at this moment and sees his so sincerely body self-respect, unavoidably then had several points of respect. 严县令听了这话。对这位余太监不免暗暗生起钦佩之意,先前见他谈吐文雅,既不狂妄也不粗俗,这严县令就生出些好感,觉得这个太监与那些传说中的太监不甚一样,此刻又见他如此谨身自爱,不免便有了几分敬意。 The guests and hosts banquet to depart after having a wonderful time, strict county magistrate polite said/tunnel: „Father-in-law status is precious, the local hall post is coarse. What to entertain the honored person. Might as well on night/lodge in this county your family place, this county assign/life the person to clean the guest room.” 宾主饮宴尽欢而散,严县令客气地道:“公公身份贵重,本地馆驿粗陋。怎生招待贵人。不如就宿在本县府上吧,本县已命人打扫好了客房。” Xu Boyi is impolite, nods the compliance, is delivered to the guest room to place by strict county magistrate personally. Packed off strict county magistrate. Xu Boyi first drank. the tea, this washes solution send/hair, on cot rest cup Xu Boyi lies down on the cot, remembers worrying of in the capital. Seriously impatient to get back. 徐伯夷也不客气,颔首应允,便由严县令亲自送到客房安置。送走了严县令。徐伯夷先喝了杯茶,这才洗漱解发,上榻休息。徐伯夷躺在榻上,想起京中的牵挂。当真归心似箭。 He leaves the palace rarely, tours the square local scenery, is in his heart hoped. He returns to the capital eagerly. Not, because reports after carrying out orders eagerly, does not want to delay the time, because...... summer full has arrived in Capital. 他难得出宫一趟,游览一下四方风物,原本也是他心中所愿。他急于回京。可不是真的因为急于复命,不想耽误功夫,而是因为……夏盈盈已经到京了。 summer full is the time of Capital is not long, leaves Capital City first a half month to rush in him. The women hurry along to trouble, all the way is the entire journey horse-drawn vehicles, goes over hill and dale, must look to be able the road of galloping on horseback car(riage), crosses the river to cross a bridge, must look to cross the ships and bridge that the car(riage) is open to traffic, the speed travelled slowly 2-3 times compared with the fast horse, finally in the summer started, autumn, the Wanli sovereign masters have eagerly awaited. 夏盈盈到京的时间并不长,是在他离开京城的前半个月赶到的。女人赶路本就麻烦,一路上又是全程马车,翻山越岭,要找能走马车的路,渡河过桥,要找能渡车通车的船只和桥梁,速度比快马行路慢了2-3倍,结果夏天启程,秋天才到,万历皇爷都已望穿秋水了。 After summer full arrives in Capital, first finds the place to settle, rested for two days then to go to Ministry of (Confucian) Rites to report, Ministry of (Confucian) Rites arranged the official to conduct three days of etiquette training to them, later handed over the official documents to give the political commissioner. 夏盈盈到京之后,先找地方安顿下来,歇了两天便去礼部报备,礼部又安排官员对她们进行了三天的礼仪培训,之后才递公文给通政使司。 Passing the political commissioner did not know that some Guizhou province headman madame goes to the capital to thank for kindness unexpectedly is the matter that the emperor extremely attaches great importance, naturally has not regarded the important matter this, therefore pressed for 2-3 days, this reports the emperor. 通政使司也不晓得贵州某土司夫人进京谢恩居然是皇上极为重视的事,当然没把这个当成大事,所以又压了2-3天,这才呈报皇帝。 Also they do not know luckily the emperor is hitting what thoughts, perhaps otherwise this memorial to the throne cannot arrive in the emperor hand. Because since Yunglo, the civil officials has " bed concerned about all critical issues in the world more and more, the emperor is part of the world, moreover is the representative of the world, therefore the emperor is also their responsibility. 也幸亏他们不知道皇帝在打什么心思,否则这份奏章恐怕根本就到不了皇帝手中。因为从永乐以来,文官们越来越以天下为己任,皇帝就是天下的一部分,而且是天下的代表,所以皇帝也是他们的责任。 The civil officials regarded themselves the father and strict teacher of emperor psychologically early, to every word and deed and every action and every movement of emperor, they must be concerned compared with anybody, does not conform to their value concepts slightly, they will display the skill that cries two three to hang oneself noisily, is unruly to sway back and forth compels you to obey, therefore after Hongwu and Yunglo, the Great Ming emperor compels one by one painstakingly. 文官们在心理上早把自己当成了皇帝的严父、严师,对皇帝的一言一行、一举一动,他们比任何人都要关切,稍不符合他们的价值观念,他们就会发挥一哭二闹三上吊的本事,撒泼打滚地逼你就范,所以洪武、永乐之后,大明的皇帝一个比一个苦逼。 Xu Boyi heard that summer full had arrived in Capital, is overjoyed, Ye Xiaotian claimed his woman, so harms him to be out, he must revenge! He must deliver the dragon bed of emperor the Ye Xiaotian woman, looks that she was invaded is devastated, looks at Ye Xiaotian to be very painful, he will be happy. 徐伯夷听说夏盈盈已经到了京,不禁大喜过望,叶小天夺走了他的女人,害得他如此下场,他要报仇！他要把叶小天的女人送上皇帝的龙床,看着她被侵占被蹂躏,看着叶小天痛苦不堪,他才会开心。 But, Wan Li Emperor thought that he is keeping aloof Son of Heaven, so young, rather than an old age old person, so long as he cancels the finger, all over the world has no woman to resist him, the meeting undresses for him obediently. 可是,万历皇帝觉得他是高高在上的天子,又如此的年轻,而非一个垂暮老人,只要他勾一勾手指,普天下没有任何一个女人能抗拒他,会乖乖地为他宽衣解带。 Therefore, happy Wanli Son of Heaven extremely enjoyed a cushy job of Xu Boyi external assignment as the compensation, has not made him continue to participate, causes opportunity that he lost surrounded and dispelled anger. 所以,高兴万分的万历天子赏了徐伯夷一个外派的美差作为报偿,没让他继续参与下去,使他失去了围观、解恨的机会。 „I returned to the capital, summer has full this become your majesty woman?” Xu Boyi more wants to be happier, for a long time for a long time, goes off satisfactory. “等我回京,夏盈盈该已成了陛下的女人吧？”徐伯夷越想越开心,许久许久,才美美地睡去。 „Bang!” “轰！” An earth-shaking loud sound, shook Xu Boyi awakes. 一声惊天动地的巨响,把徐伯夷震醒了。 „Bang, bang, bang and bang!” “轰、轰、轰、轰！” A series of giant explosive sounds resound, shake the window paper to tremble, the teapot ball on table falls to the ground crushes. After Xu Boyi since received the castration, ends up a urination ** the problem, one was frightened by this, lower part one wet, he urinated. 一连串的巨大爆炸声响起,震得窗纸瑟瑟发抖,桌上的茶壶弹到地上摔得粉碎。徐伯夷自从受了宫刑后,就落得个小便**的毛病,受此一吓,下体一湿,他又尿了。 : Asked the monthly ticket and recommendation ticket honestly!. :诚求月票、推荐票！.
