Tonight's palace banquet was exceptionally lively, with singing and dancing, talent shows by the ladies of various families, and a variety of delicious foods to taste. Towards the end, there was a fireworks show after dark.

After two years of improvement, this year's fireworks are more beautiful and gorgeous than those of the previous two years.

Amid the bright fireflies, Feng Shiyan and He Qiudi stood side by side, looking at the group of people below with happy smiles on their faces.

There is a moment when there is a sense of beauty in the peaceful time.

During the Chinese New Year.

The He family's house was always crowded with people, so these interactions had to go on.

Old Mrs. He was always smiling, and she and Jin Cuihua took He Qinglu to visit relatives and friends.

Many people inquired about the marriages of He Qingya, He Qinglu, Dalang, Sanlang, and He Huaijin, and some even wanted to steal He Huaibi's girl.

The He family suddenly became a popular marriage candidate for various families in the capital.

Old Mrs. He and Jin Cuihua took the information back and asked He Qiudi and He Huaijin to screen it, as the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law could not make the decision on their own.

He Qiudi only asked Old Lady He not to help He Qingya choose a husband, and the rest of her marriage depended on fate.

He Dalang, He Sanlang and He Qinglu have already entered the school in the capital.

He Qingya could also go, but she didn't want to.

She didn't want to make friends with any of the noble ladies in the school. In her previous life, they had more or less had some interactions with each other, and some of them even had grudges against her, but she didn't want to make things difficult for herself.

The most hated Li Lihua has already received her retribution, and she doesn't want to create any more trouble for He Qiudi.

The capital city is much more lively during the New Year than Ningyuan County.

Starting from the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, shops and restaurants on the street begin to open one after another. Young talents and ladies from noble families can be seen everywhere going out shopping, or holding poetry gatherings to cheer on the students taking part in the Spring Examination.

Some people even speculated about the popular candidates for the imperial examination this year.

He Qiudi and He Qingya started to get busy again.

Busy making money.

There are a lot of people in the capital, and it is really easy to make money from the ladies and rich girls.

In addition to making money, he also often went to see Feng Shiyan.

Feng Shiyan lived in the East Palace and it was inconvenient for him to go in and out, so he went out to find He Qiudi by himself.

Sometimes they studied food together, sometimes they discussed people's livelihood and the management of Western Chu and Western Rong, sometimes they competed in martial arts together, and sometimes they studied new weapons together.

Sometimes everyone is busy with their own things.

Life passes naturally and comfortably.

There is no need to deliberately emphasize romance, love and affection.

It's a state of telepathy.

As long as you are here, I will be at ease.

February.

Feng Shiyan presided over the spring examination of Xiao Enke as the chief examiner.

This is an opportunity given by Feng Lie to train him and select talents.

All the candidates of this session can be considered his students, bearing the mark of the prince's lineage.

Last spring.

He Baozhu's husband Feng Pengcheng did not pass the exam, but the competition this year was much smaller, so he passed the exam and became a Tong Jinshi, although he was in the third class, but as a Jinshi, his future prospects would be completely different from that of a Juren.

Wait until the palace examination is over.

Feng Shiyan and Feng Lie arranged positions for the newly-qualified Jinshi according to their abilities.

Now that Western Chu and Western Chu were incorporated into the Great Zhou's territory, it was the right time to recruit people. Even those candidates who failed the imperial examination again were given official positions.

Feng Pengcheng was assigned to serve as the county magistrate in a relatively wealthy county in the south of the Yangtze River.

He Baozhu and her two children accompanied him to take up the post.

Before leaving Beijing, He Baozhu's family of four came to the He family to say farewell. Old Mrs. He cried, crying with relief.

Taking advantage of this official transfer, He Huaibi proposed to Feng Shiyan that he be sent to serve in Xirong or Xichu.

Feng Shiyan sent He Huaibi to serve as a county magistrate outside Huangquan Pass.

He Huaijin also wanted to go to Western Chu or Western Rong, but Feng Lie felt that He Huaijin was very talented in writing and he could not leave him, so he did not agree to let him leave the capital.

After the palace examination, arrangements were made for all the Jinshi and some of the outstanding Juren.

Spring ploughing in the capital has already begun.

Feng Shiyan planned to set off back to Huangquan Pass to take charge and intimidate the people of Xirong and Xichu to prevent their remaining forces from gathering and causing trouble again.

He Qiudi handed over the assets in the capital to He Huaian for management, and returned to Yongning Prefecture with Feng Shiyan.

but.

Last year, the He family came to the capital in a hurry, and He Huaian decided to go back to Ningyuan County to sort out the affairs of Yongning Prefecture before returning to the capital.

So, we set off together.

This time, only four people from the He family came back: He Qiudi, He Qingya, He Huaian and He Huaibi.

With the ceremonial guard of the Fengshi Banquet, they had a very comfortable journey. It was just that it was the spring plowing season, so it was easy to rain, and the roads were muddy and difficult to walk on.

A small incident occurred when we arrived at the provincial capital of Xijing Province.

When Xu Yushi saw Feng Shiyan’s guard of honor, she came over.

She begged He Qiudi to take care of things for her, to teach her a lesson and punish her businessman husband for He Qingya's sake.

Because her husband disliked her old age and fading beauty, he took concubines one after another, completely breaking his promise to only have her when he married her.

Xu Yushi married a merchant in the provincial capital, and last winter, she finally gave birth to a son as she wished.

But she was a second-married woman, and her mother's family was a blood-sucking family. Even if she gave birth to a son, she still couldn't hold her head up in her husband's family. Her husband was tired of her and spent all day with his young concubines, completely ignoring her life or death.

She even wanted to divorce and marry He Huaiping again with the merchant's son.

She knew that He Huaiping had been promoted to the magistrate of Jinshan County, and until now, there was no other woman around him.

He Qiudi was so angry that he almost laughed.

Xu Yushi said as a matter of course: "He Qiudi, you can't ignore your second brother's life and death just because you are getting along with the Crown Prince and it has a good result. I have been divorced from him for more than two years, and there is no one around him who understands my feelings. Do you dare to say that he hasn't forgotten me? Hasn't he always wanted a son? Now I can give birth to a son. Since I can give birth to the first one, I can give birth to the second one."

Even after more than two years, He Qiudi still felt that Xu Yushi's train of thought was particularly incomprehensible.

Has Xiao Meng made her mentally ill and suffering from delusional disorder?

"Xu Yushi, the past two years have been turbulent around the Western Territory. My second brother has been focusing on national affairs, so he has delayed his personal problems. He didn't look for another one because he didn't have time, not because he still has feelings for you. You can't even keep your current husband, so how can you imagine that a man like my second brother would be obsessed with you? Don't laugh at me. I only met you for the sake of Qingya and Qinglu. But what you said is really ridiculous. Let's go. When you choose to abandon Qingya and Qinglu, you will no longer have any relationship with our He family."

Xu Yushi was taken away directly by He Qingya's men.

Now she didn't dare to say anything to Qiudi.

She finally came to her senses and realized that she couldn't even touch the shadow of He Qiudi, and they had become completely different people.

He Qingya came out from behind the screen only after Xu Yushi was driven away.

"Aunt, thank you for your help."

It was because she still had the last bit of mother-daughter affection for Xu Yushi that she did not refuse Xu Yushi when she came to her house.

Seeing He Qingya's melancholy face, He Qiudi patted her shoulder and said, "You, Qinglu and Qingfen will have a happy and beautiful future. Let go of those who made you suffer in the past. But you are now at the age to discuss marriage, and you need an elder to arrange it for you. It's not a good thing for your father to be single all the time. This time when I come back, I will find a companion for your father. Then I will find you a good family."

"Sister-in-law!"

"I think Chen Rongjing is pretty good."

"Aunt, stop teasing me!"
