After finishing the work of collecting money and grain, it was already the middle of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. In the past few days, the officials and people in Julu had finally finished their work for the year and began to enjoy the rare holiday at the end of the year. They might have invited friends to go out to the city to enjoy the holiday.
Snow, or a family of old and young gathering around the fire to drink, so comfortable.
At this time, Wenyuan also experienced a happy event. On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the emperor's envoys arrived in Chang'an. Wenyuan burned incense and bathed, and knelt down to receive the emperor's edict. The edict read: "On the fifth day of the tenth month of the first year of Zhongping,
The Han Dynasty presented an edict to the emperor saying:
Zhang Liao of Yanmen, after the heroic hero Nie Yi, was loyal to the country, brave and brave, wiped out the bandits, relieved the people from danger, and made great contributions to the country and the people. He was specially appointed to Liao as the general of Zhonglang who defeated the thieves and led the giants.
Governor Lu, I hope you will be encouraged."
Wen Yuan thanked him for accepting the order and was overjoyed. He had never thought that the imperial court would be so generous as to give him the official position of Zhonglang General. At most, it would be based on a fait accompli and he would be given the title of school captain. Could it be that he was considered to be brave and brave?
Is it Bingzhou and the others who want to win over themselves?
But forget it, now that we have become Zhonglang General, we will be legitimate generals from now on. Apart from Han Fu and Yuan Shao, we have the highest official position in Jizhou. If we oppose Yuan Shao in the future, we can also gain more popularity. When I think of it,
At this time, Wen Yuan held a big banquet and summoned the civil servants to come into the house to have a drink. In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, when he saw heavy snowfall outside and the civil servants were all ready, he thought of how he was still an unknown person when he was in Xiaquyang a year ago.
My heart is full of pride.

In the back house of the prefect's mansion, Ning'er sat leaning against the window, looking out the window at the flying snow in the sky without even noticing the person coming behind her.
"Miss, it's cold out here, drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Fan walked over to Ning'er holding a cup of hot tea.
Although Mrs. Fan is wearing a maid's costume, she has bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin is as white as jade, which makes people feel pity for her.
Only then did Ning'er realize that it was Mrs. Fan who came in. She smiled sweetly and said, "It turns out to be Sister Fan. My sister is always so polite to me. Didn't I tell you this many times? When no one is around, we treat each other like sisters."
"
"That's it, okay...sister Ning'er." Fan thought for a while and finally agreed.
Ning'er smiled and said, "That's right. You are the only one who is familiar with me in this prefect's mansion, so naturally you should get closer. By the way, where did that bad guy go drinking today?"
"Bad... uh! Speaking of which, elder sister wants to congratulate younger sister," Mrs. Fan covered her mouth with a smile and said in a very elegant manner: "I heard that you went to Mr. Ju's place today and not to drink. On the contrary, it seems to have something to do with you, younger sister."
…”
"What do you want Mr. Ju to do with me?" Ning'er spat with a blush on her pretty face. She had always been extremely smart, but seeing Fan's tone of voice, she had already guessed something.
Mrs. Fan chuckled and whispered to Ning'er again.
"Bad guy..." Ning'er couldn't help but said coquettishly, her pretty face already turning red.
Fan was smiling at the side, but a complicated expression flashed across his beautiful eyes.

"Gentlemen, this is the secret report just sent by Wang Li. Gentlemen, please come and take a look."
At Jushou's house, Wen Yuan took out the two battle reports he had just received and gave them to Tian Feng and Jushou for viewing.
"In winter, Sun Jian and his officials were having a drink in the east of Luyang City. Dong Zhuo suddenly arrived with tens of thousands of cavalry. Jian was drinking, talking and laughing, and reorganizing his troops without making any rash moves. The cavalry behind him gradually became stronger, and Jian Xu stopped and led the way.
Entering the city, he said: "That's why Xiang Jian didn't get up and leave immediately, for fear that the soldiers would cross each other and borrow, and the kings wouldn't be able to hear it." Zhuo soldiers saw that they were in good shape and did not dare to attack and return.
Wang Kuang was stationed at Heyangjin, but Dong Zhuo attacked and destroyed it."
After more than three months of selection and training, Wang Li's intelligence organization has begun to take shape. Now hundreds of detailed agents have been sent to neighboring states and counties. Although Wenyuan's intelligence organization has only a shallow foundation in various places, it is only
It's not difficult to detect some clues.
The two of them quickly read the two battle reports, and Jushou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"Dong Zhuo is still full of energy!"
Tian Feng's face was as dark as water, but he added firewood to the brazier from time to time and remained silent.
Wen Yuan's atmosphere was a little depressing. He took a sip of hot wine and said with a smile, "I'm inviting two foreign gentlemen here today. I want you to testify and help me do something good?"
"A good thing? I wonder what my lord is talking about? Could it be that he has a girl he likes and wants to get married?" Jushou raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"Haha, you and your husband are well-informed. Yes, I do have someone I like. To be honest, Zhang Liao has no relatives now. In this Julu County, I only regard these two gentlemen as my elders. I would like to invite you two
Sir, come forward and witness my marriage."
Jushu laughed loudly and said: "My lord is now the governor of a county and has never had a wife. In the past, Brother Yuan Hao and I often worried about this matter. Now that my lord is determined to have a family, we should do our best!"
Tian Feng's personality was much more upright than that of Ju Shue, but when he saw that Wen Yuan valued him so much, he was filled with gratitude and bowed, "Exactly, we will definitely do our best!"
"That's good, but the girl's family has a special status. Wen Yuan has an unkind request, and I hope you and your husband will agree..."
…………
With a look of satisfaction on his face, Wen Yuan returned home in a hurry. As soon as he entered the back house, Wen Yuan went straight to Ning'er's bedroom.
"Ning'er?" As soon as Wen Yuan entered the bedroom, he saw two beauties, Fan and Ning'er, sitting in front of the window chatting.
Fan glanced at Wen Yuan quietly and hurriedly lowered her head and left. Ning'er seemed to be talking about something private just now. She was blushing and wanted to pull Fan to stay but failed.
Fan was not only charming and charming, but also so sweet and smart. Wen Yuan's little heart beat twice unsatisfactorily, but Wen Yuan immediately warned himself, no! This is for Zhao Yun.
After Fan left, Wen Yuan sat next to Ning'er and held Ning'er in his arms.
"Ning'er."
"Huh?" Ning'er has long been accustomed to Wen Yuan's intimacy after months of close contact, but today is a little special. Thinking of the topics that may be discussed later, she can't help but feel a little ashamed.
"There is something I want to discuss with you today."
…………
On the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month, as the new year is approaching, Yitao City is filled with a strong festive atmosphere, not only because the people have a rare good year, but also because this day is the day when the prefect Zhang Liao and the eldest lady of the Jushou family
Perform the ceremony of acceptance.
When ancient people got married, they generally used six rituals, namely "acceptance, asking for name, accepting acknowledgment, accepting invitation, asking for an appointment, and personally welcoming."
The eldest lady of the Ju family is naturally Zhang Ning. Marrying Ning'er is something Wenyuan has decided long ago and cannot be changed. However, Ning'er's identity has made the clerks have to worry. Wenyuan is now a county
The prefect is an official with a salary of two thousand stone, and the wife he marries is actually the adopted daughter of Zhang Jiao, the leader of the Yellow Turban Bandits. If anyone knows about this, it will definitely bring a great political crisis to Wen Yuan!
Therefore, when Wen Yuan first mentioned it, he was immediately strongly opposed by Ju Shou and Tian Feng.
But maybe it was Wenyuan's sudden loneliness on the moonlit night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, or maybe it was the fleeting glance between the two on and off the stage. From the second time he saw Ning'er, Wen Yuan felt that he would not marry her unless she was the one in this life. So he let Tian Fengju teach him.
No matter how much advice he gave, Wen Yuan would not listen at all.
