Chapter 340 Overjoyed
The final exam was held at the General's Mansion and ended successfully. The candidates left the examination room one after another, and three or five gathered together to chat. Some were happy, some were depressed, and some were full of worry. The various aspects of life were able to get seven points here.
Zhang Lang held Yan Yuyao's slender hand and walked in the back garden. Yan Yuyao lowered her head and followed Zhang Lang, looking very quiet, like an orchid in the valley, quiet but beautiful as a fairy.
Zhang Lang came to the lake, listened and took a deep breath at the lake in front of him. The wet air blowing from the lake suddenly penetrated into Zhang Lang's chest, making Zhang Lang's heart feel relaxed, and he couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a long time since I felt so comfortable!" Yan Yuyao smiled and looked at Zhang Lang's side face, with beautiful eyes flowing with a little hesitant look, "Brother, there's something..."
Zhang Lang turned around and gently hugged Yan Yuyao. He smelled the refreshing fragrance on her body and felt like he was about to get drunk. He gently kissed her red lips and asked softly, "What's the matter?"
Yan Yuyao lowered her head and blushed her cheeks, and she said with a sound like a mosquito: "I, I have it."
Zhang Lang was stunned, widened his eyes, looking in disbelief, "You, you..." His eyes moved to Yan Yuyao's lower abdomen, which could not be seen, and ecstasy surged into his heart, and asked excitedly: "Are you pregnant?"
Yan Yuyao was embarrassed and said angrily with a red face: "Speak softly! Others will hear it!"
Zhang Lang was so happy that he was a little at a loss, "Haha, it's great! I'm a father!" Yan Yuyao felt happy when she saw Zhang Lang so happy.
Zhang Lang squatted down, held Yan Yuyao's lower abdomen and pressed his ears on. Yan Yuyao felt extremely happy when she saw Zhang Lang's appearance.
...
Jia Xu came to the study and saw Zhang Lang sitting behind the desk, looking happy, and asked in confusion: "Why are you so happy, lord?"
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Wenhe, I finally become a father!"
Jia Xu was stunned, then he was overjoyed, clasped his fists and said, "Congratulations to the lord, this is really a great event! But I wonder which lady has such honor?"
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "It's Yuyao."
Jia Xu nodded thinking, "This is the best!" Then he smiled and said, "If the eldest lady can give birth to a young man, then no matter how good it is!"
Zhang Lang understood what he meant and smiled. "Wenhe, how is the imperial examination going?"
Jia Xu immediately took out a paper from his arms, came forward, and presented it to Zhang Lang with both hands, "Please check it out."
Zhang Lang took the paper, opened it, and looked at it. He exclaimed: "Okay! Very good!" He looked up at Jia Xu and asked: "Who is this person?"
Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "This man's name is Ma Liang, and he comes from Xiangyang."
Zhang Lang suddenly realized, "It's him! I heard that there is a proverb in Xiangyang in the folk saying "The Ma family is the most beautiful in the white eyebrows". It is indeed well-known!" Jia Xu nodded. Zhang Lang asked, "Apart from Ma Liang, are there four other Ma family here?" Jia Xu shook his head, "No."
Zhang Lang thought for a moment and asked with a smile: "Wenhe showed me this paper, do you intend to list it as the top name?"
Jia Xu smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I dare not make decisions about this matter, so I'll ask the lord to make a decision."
Zhang Lang smiled, glanced at the paper in his hand, nodded, "That's how you think, you're naturally the number one." He returned the paper to Jia Xu, "I'm sure." Jia Xu took the paper with both hands and responded. Zhang Lang asked, "Are there no talent besides this Ma Liang?" Jia Xu said, "There are twenty-three students with outstanding talents standing out, but they are much inferior to this Ma Liang."
Zhang Lang nodded, "That's it. Ma Liang is the first place, and the other twenty-three people don't have to be ranked, they are ranked under Ma Liang."
"Yes. Lord, I have an idea."
Zhang Lang smiled and said, "Tell me."
"Lord, all the students who entered the third round of the final election, although their talents are both high and low, are talented people. I suggest that they all apply it!"
Zhang Lang nodded, "I have this plan, too," he glanced at Jia Xu and smiled, "How to apply it, there will be Mr. Lao Wen and Mr. "
Jia Xu quickly clasped his fists and said, "Lord, don't be polite, this is my subordinate's duty." He looked up at Zhang Lang, "If the lord has nothing else, my subordinate will take his leave."
"You go busy."
Jia Xu bowed to Zhang Lang and prepared to leave.
Zhang Lang suddenly remembered something, "Wait a minute."
Jia Xu stopped quickly, "What are the lord's instructions?"
Zhang Lang stood up and frowned and said, "Recently, I have received a lot of reports about bandits from all over the country. How do Wen He thinks about this?"
Jia Xu clasped his fists and said, "I have also noticed it. The bandits in various places were caused by years of war and natural disasters. Some of them were defeated by the remnants of the lord's princes, and some were the people who could not survive and became bandits."
Zhang Lang nodded, "That's how Yueying sees it too."
Jia Xu clasped his fists and asked, "I wonder if Miss Huang has any insights?"
Zhang Lang picked up a letter from the desk and handed it to Jia Xu, "It's Yueying's suggestion. Do you see if there is anything you need to add?" Jia Xu took the letter with both hands and read it. He closed the letter and handed it back to Zhang Lang with both hands, clasped his fists and said, "Ms. Huang's suggestion is very good. In this way, most bandits should be solved without understanding one soldier! However, some bandits are afraid that they must use swords and weapons, such as Niu Fu."
On that day, Niu Fu killed Dong Zhuo and surrendered to Yuan Shao, and Yuan Shao appointed him as the prefect of Youfufeng. Later, Zhang Lang occupied Guanzhong, and Niu Fu became a bandit in the mountainous areas near Youfufeng. This bandit bandit was also the most harmful bandit to Guanzhong. Zhang Lang had wanted to send troops to eliminate them many times before, but was dragged down by wars in various places and could not make any moves.
After hearing Jia Xu's words, Zhang Lang nodded, "Yes, bandits like Niu Fu cannot be pacified, they can only be eliminated. This group of bandits has been raging enough for this time!"
Jia Xu said: "In addition to Youfufeng Niufu, there is also a bandit in Xichuan that should not be underestimated,"
Zhang Lang nodded, "I know that the group of people had sent people to assassinate me. The leader was Zhang Fang, who was said to be Zhang Ren's younger brother, some of Zhang Ren's former subordinates, and the gentry who had their property confiscated by us all joined him, occupying a mountainous area to the west, and often came out to plunder counties and towns, which was very harmful! Now that I have freed up my hands, it's time to solve these problems!"
Jia Xu said: "Although the leaders of these two bandits cannot be recruited, their subordinates may not be sure. Not many people are willing to follow them and fight against us!" Zhang Lang asked with a smile: "Wenhe wants to instigate the rebellion?"
