In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

He Qiudi was so angry at this group of people that he fell backwards.

The people of Shiliu Village who make a living by digging in the soil, even though their ancestors were rich before they came here, but now, among the people they are familiar with and have a say, the one with the most impressive connections is probably He Huaizhang, the teacher of Ningyuan County.

The rest are at most small landlords, or wealthy businessmen who have a little money from doing business in the city.

Given the He family's background and the fact that He Huaijin and He Huaibi were only fifteen or sixteen years old, they had already passed the imperial examination to become scholars, with He Huaijin even topping the list. They had a bright future ahead of them.

Do we still need them to act as matchmakers for He Huaijin and He Huaibi?

One by one, they just think about these good things.

Some people even went so far as to propose marriage to the He family for their daughters.

Don't say it's impossible now.

It was impossible before.

Fortunately, Mrs. He’s attitude was very clear.

I declined them all.

It is said that after He Huaizhang passed the examination for a scholar, he got engaged early, which led to him quickly becoming obsessed with love affairs and losing interest in the imperial examinations. He failed the examinations twice and finally lost his will. When there was a chance to become a teacher, he did not want to take the examination again and missed such a good talent for studying.

The He family must learn from this lesson and will not easily arrange marriages for He Huaijin and He Huaibi before they are 20 years old.

Anyway, the He family has many sons and grandsons, so there is no need to worry about them carrying on the family line, so let them study first and then get married.

He Huaizhang, who had hurried back from the county government office upon hearing that his younger brother had passed the imperial examination and ranked first on the list, just happened to hear Old Lady He say these words.

I couldn't help but feel like I had been shot in the knee.

At first, he didn't want to take the imperial examination again. It was not because he was obsessed with love, but because he really didn't dare to take the exam.

When he took the imperial examination for the first time, he was not married yet, but he was already engaged.

I was young and inexperienced at the time, so I failed the exam.

When he took the exam for the second time, he was already married.

But the weather was bad during that exam, which caused him to fall ill during the exam.

The autumn examination is different from the academy examination for scholars.

There are three examinations in the college entrance examination, one session per day. You can enter the examination room in the morning and leave in the evening.

The three examinations in the autumn exam will last for nine days.

An examination lasts for two nights and three days, and the examinees have to spend the two nights in the Imperial Examination Hall.

When you enter the examination room, you are limited in what you can bring.

The last time he took part in the autumn examination, it suddenly rained. Some candidates caught a cold at night and fell ill during the first exam.

He fell ill during the second exam, and endured the third one. He almost lost his life in the Imperial Examination Hall.

He had a classmate with excellent grades who was carried out after the third exam because he fell ill during the first exam and had to finish the remaining two exams while dragging his sick body. He did not receive proper treatment, which delayed the best time for treatment, and as a result, he was unable to be cured after the exams.

What was even more tragic was that someone came to the inn to tell him that he had won the prize. He was so excited that he vomited a large mouthful of blood and then died.

He witnessed the tragic death of his classmates.

The tragic situation of my classmates is still vivid in my mind.

He Huaizhang no longer had the heart to take part in the autumn examination. When he had the opportunity to donate an official position later, he begged Mr. He and Mrs. He to donate him a teaching position.

When everyone saw He Huaizhang coming back, they all felt very happy and no one mentioned matchmaking for He Huaijin and He Huaibi anymore.

Everyone started discussing the buffet for tomorrow.

He Huaizhang couldn't get a word in at all.

In fact, he didn't really want to hold a buffet in the village. He wanted to go to the city and invite Lord Du and the others to dine together.

The instructor of Ningyuan County is in charge of the affairs of the scholars in their academy.

If everyone knew that his younger brother, who was a teacher, was at the top of the list and had passed the imperial examinations twice, he would be extremely proud of it.

You can also strike up a conversation in front of the banquet.

Although he has not yet found out Yan Shi's exact identity, after working together for four months, he can tell from various deeds that Yan Shi is actually the first person who holds political power in Lizhou.

Yan Shi is so young, yet he has such a bright future. I'm afraid everyone's speculation is true.

He is a noble or even a royal descendant.

If he could get Yan Shi to change his opinion of him, then his day of success would be just around the corner.

However, he can no longer be the master of the He family.

He Huai'an bought two pigs, a lot of fish, and brought back a lot of chickens. He also bought a donkey, peanuts, wine and other food.

As the autumn harvest was coming to an end, Shiliu Village decided to catch the fish from the pond at the entrance of the village and sell them to the He family for a banquet.

After a while, Yang Yi and Yang Ba were sent over to congratulate the banquet, and they brought cooks and helpers, cattle, sheep, wild deer, wild goats and other food materials.

Everyone was shocked.

During the banquet, he showed special concern for the He family.

Even He Huaizhang didn't expect that Yan Shi would go this far.

Of course, he did not think that the banquet was held to give him face, but rather to support He Qiudi. On the surface, they only said congratulations to He Huaijin for getting the top spot and He Huaibi for also passing the imperial examination. As the new magistrate of Ningyuan County, he wanted to get to know these two young talents of similar age, but was unable to attend due to his busy official duties.

At this moment, everyone reacted.

The He family is indeed no longer the same He family.

The people of Shiliu Village can no longer use the words "fellow villagers" to morally blackmail the He family and seek benefits for themselves.

The He family is an existence that they cannot reach.

The next day, the He family was very busy, and Shiliu Village was also busy.

Although two cooks were sent to help during the banquet, there were more than 300 villagers in Shiliu Village. In addition, some people invited their good relatives and friends from nearby to come and eat, so the He family would not drive them away.

Men, women, young and old, all together surrounded the flat ground behind the old locust tree.

Two cooks naturally cannot handle everything.

Old Mrs. He brought He Qiudi, Qi Xi and Jinguihua to cook together.

The He family’s kitchen was not big enough, so they built a temporary stove in the front yard.

In addition to the cook, there are other helpers helping with the work, so the serving speed can naturally keep up.

There were more than a dozen tables set up on the flat ground at the entrance of the village.

After eating one trip, take another one.

Try to make sure everyone in the village has a seat at the table.

Everyone looked harmonious.

If Shiliu Village could produce a scholar, he could protect everyone in the village. Since the He family had become an existence beyond their reach, maintaining a good relationship with the He family was also a way out.

Who doesn't want to be protected by an official?

Since it was a buffet, the He family had to continue serving dishes as long as people came to eat.

If someone wants to take advantage, they can have a meal, rest, and then have another meal in the afternoon. That’s fine.

But you can only eat, you can't eat and take it at the same time. This is the rule. Even if it is not specifically pointed out, everyone will give face to the He family and abide by this rule and will not do such a tasteless thing.

We were busy until it was almost dark and the buffet finally ended.

He Huaizhang once again proposed to the old man that he should treat the officials from the county government to a meal at a restaurant in the city.

This time, Mr. He did not stop him.

Since the officials were to be invited to dinner, Mr. He, He Huaijin and He Huaibi had to attend. In order to curry favor, He Huaizhang asked the twins to invite He Qiudi to the banquet as well.

He Qiudi also wanted to go to a restaurant in the city for dinner.

She had originally planned to open a restaurant after the autumn harvest was over and the new house was completed.

I haven’t had the opportunity to dine at the restaurant before. This time, all the officials from Ningyuan County will come to dine, and the restaurant will definitely do its best to entertain them.

She can just observe and learn from the restaurant's model.

As a result, when they arrived at the restaurant, they found out that Yan Shi had temporarily gone to Lan County with the grain delivery team yesterday and was not in Ningyuan County.
