Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 312: Request to be appointed as the governor of Zhongshan County

When Yuan Mi heard Zhang Sui ask this, she smiled and said, "Husband, I didn't expect you to be a polite person."

Zhang Sui laughed awkwardly, pinched Yuan Mi's chest with his right hand, and then said, "It's like this, Mi'er."

"Now, I am only this old."

"If I achieve more, how do you think my father-in-law should treat me?"

"Reward? Whether it's an official title or money, it's not appropriate."

"I am already a General of the Central Army."

"If I am given an official title, wouldn't that mean I am superior to veteran generals like Zhang He and Yan Liang?"

"These veterans have followed my father-in-law in battles for so many years, and now I have surpassed them all of a sudden. What do you think they will think?"

"It's hard to accept that a latecomer is ahead of the competition."

"If you give me money."

"If I make another contribution, since it is inconvenient to confer an official title, I will have to give more money to show that my father-in-law is fair in rewarding and punishing."

"But if too much money is given, it's hard to avoid people feeling resentful at a time when supplies are scarce."

Yuan Mi hummed.

Zhang Sui continued: "So, the gentleman mentioned this to me before."

"Now, as your husband, Mi'er, I cannot not show up, but I can't stand out too much either."

"So, the best situation is to serve as an official in the local area."

“The best place for me to go is Zhongshan County.”

"Become the governor of Zhongshan County or something like that."

"Firstly, as a General of the Central Army, it is not excessive for me to manage an entire county."

"Secondly, the Zhen family is in Zhongshan County. I have certain connections, so it will be easier for me to achieve results."

"Third, I'm in Zhongshan County, close to Yijing."

"My father-in-law is now besieging Yijing with all his might, and the army needs to consume a large amount of food and fodder."

"I am stationed in Zhongshan County and can provide some food and fodder to alleviate my father-in-law's food and fodder problem."

"What do you think?"

Yuan Mi hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay, I'll find a chance to talk to my father when we get home."

"My husband, you have talent and you are unwilling to do nothing. This is a good thing."

Zhang Sui laughed, hooked his arm around Yuan Mi's neck, pecked her pretty face, and said softly, "Mi'er, can we have sex tonight?"

Yuan Mi hurriedly moved away from Zhang Sui, her earlobes reddening as she said, "I'm not well yet! Go play with other people during this time!"

"Don't think I don't know how shamelessly you and Zhang Chunhua played together."

"Who wrote those words on your bedside?"

"I've observed Zhang Chunhua writing, and it's exactly the same!"

Zhang Sui: “.”

Yuan Mi turned her back to Zhang Sui and said, "Since you like playing with her so much, go to see her every day!"

Zhang Sui's convoy rushed all the way to the governor's residence.

Yuan Shao is not here. He is still in the government office.

Liu, along with Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Gao Gan, Gao Rou and others, greeted them at the door.

Yuan Mi returned to the governor's mansion again, feeling a little dazed.

Just as she was about to get off the carriage, Zhang Sui picked her up.

Yuan Mi hurriedly whispered, "Stop making trouble, there are so many people watching!"

Zhang Sui laughed and said, "Can you get off the carriage? Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing if someone saw you?"

Yuan Mi blushed, punched Zhang Sui's chest with her little fist, and said unhappily: "How dare you say that? I begged for mercy that night, and you still came!"

Liu stood in the crowd, watching Zhang Sui and Yuan Mi flirting with each other, and felt jealous.

Being with that old fool Yuan Shao, apart from squirming a few times on the bed, this old fool has never made anyone happy!

Although she was resentful, Liu still went to meet them with Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, Gao Gan and Gao Rou.

Liu watched Zhang Sui put Yuan Mi down, and with a smile she reached out her hand, took Yuan Mi's hand, and said jokingly, "Miss San, Zhang Lang is an interesting person!"

Yuan Mi glanced at Liu and knew what she meant. Her pretty face flushed with shame and she lowered her head and hummed softly. Liu smiled and said, "That's good."

"Your father still has vision. He didn't choose the wrong person for you."

Yuan Mi didn't dare to continue what Liu said and could only introduce the gifts she brought back this time.

Liu, Yuan Xi, Yuan Shang, and Gao Rou were all amazed when they heard Yuan Mi introduce that these gifts were all made by Zhang Sui himself, as well as their various wonderful features.

Only the senior officials stood in the crowd with expressionless faces.

Especially when he saw the large marks on Yuan Mi's snow-white neck that could not be concealed, Gao Gan's knuckles turned white from pinching her.

Sooner or later, I will find a chance to take it back!
Just as Yuan Mi was introducing the uses of various gifts to everyone, Yuan Shao rode over from the direction of the government office, surrounded by his personal guards.

Yuan Shang hurried over and said, "Father, my brother-in-law sent back some gifts that he made himself."

Yuan Shao rode his horse to Zhang Sui's side.

Yuan Mi introduced it again.

Yuan Shao kept smiling, nodded and said, "That's thoughtful!"

"Mi'er is coming home today, let's celebrate."

The group then followed Yuan Shao into the governor's mansion.

Liu asked the servants to prepare a banquet.

The group followed Yuan Shao to the back garden, where they chatted while basking in the dim sun.

Not much was talked about Yuan Mi and Zhang Sui's married life.

Most of the time, Yuan Shao listened to Gao Gan and Yuan Shang's respective reports on their plans for the future governance of Bingzhou and the capture of Xuzhou.

Especially taking Xuzhou.

This time when Yuan Shang took over Xuzhou, he planned to bring his general Chunyu Qiong and an army of 10,000.

The military advisors were Shen Pei and Feng Ji.

The strategy adopted was to contact the aristocratic families in Xuzhou and attack Liu Bei from inside and outside.

Yuan Shao did not comment, but just nodded, then looked at Zhang Sui and said, "Bocheng, what are your plans after the third dynasty?"

Yuan Mi glanced at Zhang Sui and said with a smile, "Father, my husband told me about this a long time ago."

"He said he was still young and inexperienced."

"Now, he needs to calm down."

"Therefore, he discussed with his daughter and wanted to go to the local area to gain some experience."

"We are currently besieging Youzhou Yijing, which will take a long time and require a large amount of food and fodder."

"My husband is willing to go to Zhongshan County to be a county governor and store food and grass for my father to alleviate the food crisis."

Yuan Shao looked at Zhang Sui with some surprise.

He originally thought that Zhang Sui would take the opportunity to go to Youzhou to jointly besiege Gongsun Zan and accumulate merits.

Unexpectedly, at this time, he would have to give up the opportunity to make meritorious service.

Yuan Shao asked, "Bocheng, do you really think so?"

Zhang then stood up, bowed respectfully and said, "Father-in-law, it's true."

"I'm still so young, and now that I've made some achievements, I feel a little complacent."

"Yesterday, I even thought that I am now Mi'er's husband, and I have made such great achievements in the war. I am already a superior person."

"After I talked to Mi'er, she said I was crazy."

"I thought about it."

"As Mi'er's husband, I must not be complacent and act recklessly by relying on my father-in-law's reputation. Instead, I must calm down and make achievements so as not to humiliate my father-in-law's reputation and the Yuan family's reputation."

After hearing what Zhang Sui said, Yuan Shao was quite satisfied and said, "Not bad!"

"Although you are proud, you are able to reflect on yourself, which proves that I was not wrong about you."

"Then let's be the prefect of Zhongshan County!"

"After three days, I will submit a petition to the court to ask for you to be appointed as the governor of Zhongshan County and to perform the duties of the commander."

"Don't let me down."

"As Yuan Shao's son-in-law, I must not be mediocre!"
