Probably noticing He Qiudi's gaze, Yan Shi turned around, smiled at her, and half bowed to her.

This smile, in the sunset glow, is like the melting snow on the mountains, the bright moon and the clear sky, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Only one sentence flashed through He Qiudi's mind: Standing like a jade tree and smiling like the bright moon in your arms.

Yan Shi's lips were covered with a smile as bright as the moon and breeze: "Yunzhi would like to thank He Qiniang again for saving my life. Yunzhi will never forget it in his life. Is the token I gave you yesterday still there?"

"In my room, my mother is keeping it for me."

"That's good. If you need Yan Shi in the future, you can go to the government office in person or send someone with a token to report my name."

"I will."

He Qiudi smiled at him in a friendly manner and then handed him the brocade box she had prepared.

"I heard that you gave my family fifty taels of silver as a thank you gift. Thank you for keeping it a secret for me..."

Having said this, He Qiudi stopped talking.

As for what she was hiding, it was nothing more than hiding the fact that she had killed bandits.

After she got up, Old Mrs. He had already talked to her in a babble.

Yan Shi said that when he and Yang Jiu were fighting with the remaining three bandits, she threw stones at the bandits, hitting them and shouting for help, distracting the bandits. This allowed him and Yang Jiu to seize the initiative and find an opportunity to kill the bandits.

This made Old Mrs. He tremble with fear, because those were bandits who killed people without blinking an eye. How could her old daughter have the courage to fight them?

"Inside these are the rare swords I bought from the camel merchant in the city. They can cut through iron like mud. I don't think I will need these two swords, so I'll give them to you."

He Qiudi scratched his head: "First - don't open it, my family doesn't know that I bought a knife. Don't tell anyone else..." If your father wants to make a few steel daggers for use in the military camp, where can I find them for you?

If I remember correctly, this year's drought is the worst in the past three years, and the autumn harvest in this area was almost a failure.

After the autumn harvest, the Western Rong people would attack. His arm had already healed, so he volunteered to lead the army to meet the enemy. He killed countless enemies and took back Ningyuan County.

While repelling the Western Rong army and protecting the peace in the area, he was ambushed and lost one of his arms.

I hope you can use these two pieces of steel to make daggers to better protect yourself and your people.

She knew that it was not right to do so and might bring danger to herself, but she still wanted to give two high-quality weapons to the General Zhenxi, the number one god of war in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the eldest son of the current crown prince, who had a heavy and rough fate, a tragic and heroic ending.

I hope he can live a peaceful life and have a good end.

Yan Shi took the box containing the steel dagger with ease.

There was a fleeting gleam in the look in her eyes.

"Then I would like to thank Madam He Qi. This is a secret between us, and I will not tell anyone. Then we...will meet again if we are lucky."

His voice is very pleasant, neither fast nor slow, low and pleasant, just like gold, stone and jade.

"Yan Shi, see you again if we're lucky. Also, you have to protect yourself."

"I will. Madam He, you must also protect yourself. We will meet again if we are destined to do so."

After thanking He Qiudi, Yan Shi got into a luxurious carriage accompanied by several other guards. Yang Jiu waved goodbye to He Qiudi through the raised curtain, and from the shape of his mouth, he seemed to have said words of thanks to her.

Watching the carriage heading towards the village entrance, if He Qiudi didn't want to keep two conventional knives for self-defense that people around him would trust, he really wanted to give him the remaining two steel daggers to use on the battlefield to kill the enemies.

He Qiudi stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching the young god of war walking further and further away.

"Seventh sister, who is this man? Not only did he give our family a lot of silver, meat, cloth, chickens and duck eggs as a thank you gift, he also gave five taels of silver to each household in Shiliu Village, saying that he was thanking everyone for their care and help in getting him and his followers down the mountain. He is very generous. Look at his carriage, his followers, and the horses his followers ride. It's obvious that he comes from a wealthy family."

The third sister-in-law of the He family, Jin, is a notoriously lazy daughter-in-law in the He family.

Working, no one is seen.

But if she is sneaky, lazy, and looking for trouble, she will definitely have her share.

If she knew that the person He Qiudi rescued was the son of the current crown prince, she would probably cause some trouble.

Sure enough, she said, "Since you saved his life, you should let him marry you. Although my uncle is just a low-ranking teacher, he is still an official. You are not at a disadvantage if you marry him."

The best quality is indeed the best quality material.

He creates hatred and troubles whenever he opens his mouth.

The sister of a lowly teacher, you want the eldest son of the crown prince to marry you? !

What a face!

Be careful that the royal family may think that the He family is seeking repayment for their kindness and are delusionally dreaming of becoming a phoenix. So they might as well go all out and kill the entire family without leaving any alive. Then you will be happy!

!!!∑(?Д?ノ)ノ

He Qiudi made a note in her little notebook that she must not let her third sister-in-law, who was a shrewd woman who would take advantage of anyone even if there was no advantage, know Yan Shi's identity.

and also.

We need to control Third Sister-in-law's mouth and discipline her so that she doesn't speak out of turn and bring disaster to the He family.

Old Mrs. He, who was directing Mrs. Xu to put oil into the pot in the kitchen, heard the third wife's nonsense. She picked up a single garlic on the stove and smashed it directly on Mrs. Jin's head through the window.

"You bastard! You are not worthy of being on the table! Why don't you get in and light the fire? Today, we are blessed by our daughter. The nobles sent meat and eggs to our family. Do you want to eat?"

"Mom, I'll come to help!" Jin hurried into the kitchen.

He Qiudi fell silent as he looked at his third sister-in-law's back.

The third sister-in-law was driven crazy by the reborn He Qingya. When she got up at night to go to the bathroom, she drowned in a manure pit in a village near the capital.

vomit! ~

This is a tasteful picture.

I hope my third sister-in-law can become more diligent, and stop being lazy and causing trouble for He Qingya.

Third sister-in-law is a little lazy and has a bad mouth, but she is not guilty of a capital crime...right?

Even if it meant her death.

There's no need to die so miserably.

It's just too horrible.

He Qiudi became more determined to reform his third sister-in-law.

He Qiudi went back to the room to pack her things and wait for breakfast. Old Mrs. He came in through the curtain.

"Nannan." Old Mrs. He called her, her voice a little hesitant.

He Qiudi stopped packing clothes, looked at Old Lady He and said, "Mom, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"It's like this. Master Yan gave you a lot of thank-you gifts. I plan to keep the fifty taels of silver and cloth as your dowry. As for the meat, chicken and duck eggs, I can't finish them all at once. I want to take some to the city to give to your eldest brother, and have him give some to the academy to give to your fifth and sixth brothers' teachers as festival gifts."

He Qiudi's elder brother, He Huaizhang, was a teacher in Ningyuan County.

He was a scholar supported by the He family with all their resources, and later he spent money and money to donate money to become a teacher, a low-ranking official position.

The novel says that the eldest sister-in-law, Wei, is a woman who is good at business.

Over the years, under the guise of being the wife of a scholar and the wife of a teacher, she sucked blood from the He family, which was not wealthy to begin with, asking for money and food to support the entire family of four in the first house to live a wealthy and enjoyable life in the city.

The second wife had no son and lived a miserable life, mostly because she had to support the eldest brother's family.

My fifth and sixth elder brothers are studying in the county school. They both passed the examination to become students last year and are working hard in the city, preparing to go to the provincial capital to take part in the academy examination this autumn and obtain the title of scholar.

The annual tuition for studying in the county school is not cheap.

Gifts should be prepared for the teacher during festivals.

Now that it is not a festival, if I give the gifts given to her at the banquet to my eldest brother and ask him to pass them on to the dean and teacher of my fifth and sixth brothers, I am afraid that these things will be seized by Wei and fill the stomachs of their family of four and Wei's pockets.

When it comes to festivals, the He family still has to pay for the gifts for the teacher.

He Qiudi pondered for a while and said, "Mother, why don't you separate the things for the eldest brother from those for the fifth and sixth brothers? You haven't seen the fifth and sixth brothers for a long time. Let's send the things to the academy first and let the brothers deliver them to the teacher in person. Isn't that better? They are not children anymore. The eldest brother doesn't need to do these things for them."

"Okay. I'll go and divide the things right away. Anyway, I'll take you to the city to make two sets of clothes today."

He Qiudi followed her to Old Lady He's room and watched her divide things.

The things delivered during the banquet are all locked in my parents' room.

He Qiudi took a look and saw a leg of pork, a basket of eggs, a basket of duck eggs, a few tea cakes, and many pieces of cloth that looked to be of good quality.

This thank-you gift is very down-to-earth.

It completely meets the needs of the people today.

"Mother." The third sister-in-law leaned against the door, not daring to come in. She stretched her neck inside, looked at the things inside with a smile on her face, and said to Old Lady He in a flattering way, "Master Yan gave Qiudi so many fine cloths, she can't wear them all by herself. Give me a piece, and I will make a set of clothes for Dalang and Sanlang. They haven't made new clothes for a long time."
