The red lanterns are lit in the garden, and there are people drinking in the pavilions and water pavilions.

The maids in colorful clothes walked through the curved bridge and the corridor with their dishes.

All the guests nearby have dispersed, but only the distinguished guests from afar are still drinking.

Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji, Yuan Shao and Chen Qun were drinking in the pavilion on the top of the rockery, and Chen Qun couldn't help but persuade him to drink.

Yuan Shao said with the help of Jiuxing: "Father and brother, I heard from my brother that Zhang Yu is a talented person who is never met in the ages. Wan'er is Zhang Yu's concubine, so our Yuan family will not lose face. The Chen family can marry his daughter Zhang Yu as a concubine, why can't our Yuan family?"

Yuan Ji waved his hand and said, "Brother Shao, don't talk about this anymore. Brother has said that he has no son. Brother wants to find a Caijun as his adopted son, marry Wan'er and let Wan'er give birth to an heir for his brother."

Yuan Shao laughed and asked, "What if my brother adopts a son and his father and brother?"

Yuan Ji waved his hand and said, "Don't say anything more, but what should I do after you go to the General's Mansion to take office?"

Yuan Wei, who had never spoken, continued: "After Nephew Shao goes to the General's Mansion, don't care about the size of his official position. As long as I have the chance, I will seek important military positions for you."

Yuan Shao smiled and bowed to Yuan Wei and said thank you uncle.

Yuan Wei looked at Yuan Ji and said with a smile: "Nephew Ji, don't be discouraged. We just watched the changes in the court in our hometown. I believe that the emperor will invite us back to take office soon."

Yuan Wei gave birth to three sons, and his eldest son Mingmanlai died prematurely at the age of fifteen. He was written by Cai Yong, a talented man. Two other sons were born to concubines and were still young. Yuan Wei was most optimistic about Yuan Ji and treated Yuan Ji as his own son. Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji communicated with each other in the court and formed a powerful force. Yuan Wei was extremely dissatisfied with the court's exemption of Yuan Ji's official position. He would rather go home by his own free time than let Yuan Ji get rid of his official position. Yuan Wei disagreed with what Yuan Shao said, after all, the Yuan family had four generations and three dukes. How could Yuan Ji, the eldest son's daughter, marry Zhang Yu as a concubine? It not only involves honor, but also involves the major affairs of Yuan Ji's descendants. Yuan Wei did not criticize Yuan Shao, but instead changed the topic to talk about other things.

The three great men of the Yuan family would never dream of Yuan Ji'er, who was hidden in the boudoir, had long been secretly celebrating Zhang Yu's songs. Even if he stayed at Zhang Yu's house for a few nights, Zhang Yu had spent a good night with him! Yuan Ji's baby daughter Wan'er, can only belong to Zhang Yu in this life, and it is impossible for her to marry someone else!

Although Chen Qun is Zhang Yu's father-in-law and a very famous scholar, he has no official position after all. It is really hard for him to drink with the three great men of the Yuan family. He has no confidence to speak. Just listen quietly, when the three Yuan family members have no wine in their glasses, they arranged for the maid to add wine.

At this time, Zhang Yu was drinking with Sima Sun Jian, Chen State Prime Minister Luo Jun, Runan Prefect Yang Qi, and Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie.

Zhang Yu had an afternoon of rain with Die'er in the bridal chamber. When people were in a happy event, they were in great spirits and chatted and laughed with these officials. The theme of Zhang Yu was talking about was a courier company, starting from the conversation between the prefect of Yingchuan and the emperor issued an order to establish express company branches in various prefectures and counties to transport timber and stone for the emperor. Zhang Yu told them that it is not easy for you. On the one hand, you have to suppress bandits, and on the other hand, you have to transport timber and stone for the emperor. In addition, you have to spend money to buy officials. Zhang Yu told them that as long as they can cooperate with Zhang Yu and run the various county and state branches of the express company, each person can get a large rebate, which is enough to make up for some of the vacancy used to buy officials.

Although Luo Jun's official position is the most stable, he was still very happy when he heard that there were a lot of kickbacks. He smiled and said, "General Pingnan, our Chen State must make the branch a model, but if there are bandits, I have to ask you to help wipe it out."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Of course, which county and country can run the branch well, I will give priority to assisting which county and country to suppress bandits."

Luo Jun said: "King Chen asked the general to visit Chen State and wanted to discuss the kingdom's plan with the general. I wonder if the general is willing to move to Chen State?"

After thinking about it, Zhang Yu laughed and said, "I heard that King Chen shot ten shots and archery skills are unparalleled in the world. Governing the country is like cooking small fresh food. The country is prosperous and the people are safe. I wanted to visit him for a long time. When Yuan Weigong returned to Runan, I accompanied him to Runan and then went from Runan to Chen State. Please inform King Chen, and I, Zhang Yu, will arrive soon."

Luo Jun was overjoyed and smiled and said, "I will report back to King Chen tomorrow. I will be waiting for your arrival in Chen Guodu."

Nanyang Prefect Qin Jie sighed and said, "There are so many bandits in Nanyang, all of which are scattered among the people. Maybe when will they make a comeback. I would also like to ask General Pingnan to help you. With our local power, there is no possibility of suppressing all bandits."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "As long as you can handle the branch for me, I will do my best to help the bandit suppression."

Yang Qi, the prefect of Runan, quickly said to Zhang Yujiu: "Our Runan is calm on the surface, but in fact, the undercurrent is surging. Although Peng Tuo was wiped out, tens of thousands of remaining troops still scattered in the mountains. I hope the general can help more."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "I just said that I will go to Runan in person, not only to accompany Yuan Weigong back to his hometown, but also to coordinate and handle the bandit suppression."

Yang Qi, the prefect of Runan, said happily: "It's great. After I go back tomorrow, I will wait for you to go in Runan."

Zhang Yu has 100% confidence in controlling the remnants of the Yellow Turbans in Runan. He knows that Peng Tuo's main backbones are still alive, and Zhang Yu also wants to contact them. This is an important force in the future to compete with the princes.

Zhang Yu took the initiative to toast Sun Jian. After Sun Jian drank the wine in the glass, he laughed and said, "General Pingnan, I am just a free job now, but I can't help you."

Zhang Yulang smiled and said, "Brother Wentai, you are too modest. Others want to spend money to buy officials, but the court has to constantly reuse you with your strength. After you return to the court, you will immediately take the order to go to Liangzhou to fight. When you return, you may be a general. With the ability, the dark clouds cannot cover your light. If your sword is out of the sheath, the bandits will be invincible. I admire my brother very much and hope to drink often in the future."

Sun Jian was very proud of his face. At this time, he was deeply confused about his future. After hearing what Zhang Yu said, he immediately became enthusiastic and ordered his maid to pour his cups and toast Zhang Yu. He laughed and said, "General Pingnan, I, Director Wen, is so old. The first time I admire someone, that is you. You are a heroic and righteous person, you are a god who descends to earth and saves all living beings. You regard official positions as a grass shop, and you secretly build express companies among the people. You regard money as dirt and treat the people as parents. It is a blessing in my life that my Wentan can make friends with you. No matter how things change, my Wentan will leave my words here. No matter when in the future, as long as you General Pingnan speaks, my Wentan will go through fire and water."

The next morning, Zhang Yu presided over a meeting in the conference room. Attend the meeting were Zhang Long, general manager of express company and deputy general manager of Western, Wang Yue, store manager of Luoyang, deputy general manager of Eastern, Chen Qun, deputy general manager of Northern, Fang Shuo, deputy general manager of Southern, Lai De, salt department manager, Li Xiang, agricultural manager, Lai Zhong, financial manager, logistics manager, Wu Qi, military manager, Zhao Tong, deputy head of military Zhao Zhen, and Shi A and Yuan Shao attended the meeting as consultants.

Zhang Yu guided everyone's work. After lunch, Zhang Long, Wang Yue, Xun Yu, Chen Qun and others took a large number of people to Luoyang. Yuan Shao accompanied him to the General's Mansion to take office. Sun Jian also accompanied him to the General's Mansion to perform his duties. Other personnel stayed in Yangdi according to Zhang Yu's instructions and started their work immediately.

In the afternoon, Zhang Yu was having tea with Yuan Wei, Yuan Ji and Chen Ji at the water pavilion.

Chen Ji was Die'er's grandfather. He was known as the "Three Lords" together with his father Chen Shi and his younger brother Chen Chen at that time. The court repeatedly recruited him but he refused to summon him. After Dong Zhuo controlled the court, he forced Chen Ji to surrender. Chen Ji was appointed as a general of the facial features at home. He had no choice but to take office in Luoyang. After many rapid promotions, he was appointed as the Shangshu Ling. When Yuan Shao was the Grand Marshal, he wanted to give up the position of Grand Marshal to Chen Ji, but Chen Ji refused to accept it. He was appointed as Tai Honglu, and died in office at the age of 71.

Because Chen Ji is famous and has great potential, he is qualified to drink tea with Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji.

Yuan Wei and Yuan Ji successively toasted Chen Ji with tea instead of wine, congratulations to Chen Ji.

Chen Ji used tea instead of wine to return to these two distinguished guests.

Yuan Wei said to Chen Ji: "I will return to Runan in two days. General Pingnan wants to accompany me back to Runan. If you have time, you can go to Runan together."

Chen Ji waved his hand and said, "Aweng is old and has a bad health. I cannot travel far away. I hope you will forgive me."

Yuan Wei nodded and said, "Chen Taiqiu is so kind that he is a model like us. He should be filial to him early and evening."

Yuan Wei looked at Zhang Yu and asked, "General Pingnan, do you really have time to accompany me back to Runan?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "No matter how busy you are, you have to escort you back to Runan. One is to fulfill your filial piety to the younger generation, and the other is to deploy bandit suppression work. I cannot let Peng Tuo's remaining troops affect your recuperation in Runan."
