He Huaian said happily: "My dear, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, you are incredible. You have caught the eyes of the nobleman. When you become rich in the future, don't forget to bring Third Brother along to enjoy the good life."

What he wanted to express was that He Qiudi was favored by Yan Shi.

But with Old Lady He in charge, even if He Huaian wanted to speak out, he didn't dare to say it out loud.

However, this did not prevent He Huaian from feeling happy.

Let’s leave He Qiudi aside.

He Huaibi alone cares much more about brotherhood than He Huaizhang.

When He Huaibi becomes an official and becomes rich, he will surely be able to enjoy the good life with him. He is not like his elder brother, who is a teacher but still complains to his family about being poor, asking his parents to send them money to spend, and letting the entire He family support their eldest son.

If his eldest brother had not been an official, which really brought honor to the He family and also brought hope to the He family, and if he had not been able to eat and drink for free in the city, he would not have agreed to his parents' approach.

He Huaizhang was also happy.

The happiest person was He Sanlang.

He is also one of the participants.

Although he did not contribute and did not witness the entire process, he was certainly there.

What's more, since my aunt got two hundred taels of silver, she would definitely not treat him unfairly.

He Qingshu's eyes turned red with jealousy.

The praise given to the younger sister-in-law in the name of a person during the banquet was just an excuse to give this precious gold hairpin with engraved flowers and oriental pearls to He Qiudi.

Otherwise, why did Sixth Uncle only have two hundred taels?

Besides, my aunt is a woman, so even if she could subdue the bandits, her contribution would definitely not be as great as that of my sixth uncle.

The reward my younger aunt received was the same amount as my sixth uncle's.

It was obvious that it was Yan Shi’s own selfish motive.

This is a gold hairpin with filigree and engraved flowers inlaid with oriental pearls.

Not cheap.

And, it is of great significance.

He Qingshu just felt heartbroken. She didn't go to congratulate He Qiudi and went back to her room.

Wei looked at her daughter's lost and heartbroken expression and couldn't help but shook her head.

He Qingya felt a little envious, jealous, regretful and worried.

If at that time, they went into the mountains and met Yan Shi who was surrounded by bandits, would it be her who rescued Yan Shi?

all of these.

It can change.

He Qingya looked at the happy He Qinglu, sighed sadly, and left the crowd to clean up the mess silently.

The whole family happily gathered together to discuss how to spend the money.

Jin Cuihua wants two new sets of clothes.

Xu wanted some money, but didn't say what she wanted to use it for.

He Huaian wanted to ask Old Lady He for a few taels of silver so he could go to the city and have some fun.

He Huaiping wanted to get some money, saying that he wanted to buy cloth to make new clothes for Xu and his daughter.

He Huaijin and He Huaibi's idea was very simple. They just wanted some money to buy the books they wanted.

He Qiudi didn't have any ideas, so he said that he wanted his family to buy a house in the city and store food in the city in advance.

If there is a drought in Shiliu Village, or a war occurs after the autumn harvest this year, the whole family can hide in the city and live out their days.

Finally, after everyone discussed it, they temporarily decided that after the busy spring season was over, Grandma He would go to Lan County to visit He Baozhu, and then go to Ningyuan County to buy a house.

Buy a big house.

It would have to be a three-story house that could accommodate a family of about twenty people.

If it really doesn't work, you can buy a bigger courtyard with two entrances.

After everyone finished discussing, Mrs. He agreed to everything and said it was too late tonight and they would make the distribution tomorrow morning.

We certainly cannot let them make the decision.

Old Mrs. He had to rest for a night and then redistribute the four hundred taels of silver according to her own ideas and the opinions of her children.

When Old Mrs. He had packed up the leftovers and was about to go back to her room to count the silver, Wei came in behind the curtain.

"Mom." Mrs. Wei no longer hid anything from Old Lady He. "I didn't say anything just now because I wanted to wait until everyone left before coming to see you. The family has some income, and everyone is very happy. I am also thinking about the family, so I want to use this money to donate a legitimate official position for my husband."

This money was earned by He Huaibi and He Qiudi.

Wei dared not wait.

Once He Qiudi makes the decision on where the money should go, she won't be able to get it.

Wei sighed and said with a heavy heart, "Mother, you also know that my brother donated four hundred taels of silver to become the county magistrate of Wei County. My husband spent money back then, but he only donated to become a teacher, and the teacher has never had a rank. Now that my family has the conditions, can you help my husband? When my husband becomes a county magistrate, he will be considered a real official in the court."

"Mother, only when you become a county magistrate can you be considered a real official. Only then can you make achievements and move up in career. Right now, the positions of county magistrate of Wei County and Lan County are vacant. Mother, don't miss the opportunity."

Old Mrs. He was moved.

He Huaizhang is her first child.

She had high expectations for He Huaizhang.

She was originally a daughter of an official family, but was exiled to the frontier because her family fell into trouble.

Over the years, I have been thinking about restoring my former glory.

It was He Huaizhang, who passed the imperial examination and became a scholar in his teens, who gave her hope.

When He Huaizhang was young, he was diligent and studious, and his writing was brilliant. His family supported him to study and pass the imperial examination. Unfortunately, after he got married, he failed the imperial examination twice.

At last.

Old Mrs. He gritted her teeth and sold the small courtyard and grocery store in the city to raise three hundred taels to help her eldest son get a job as a low-ranking teacher in Ningyuan County.

Wei County, Liu County and Lan County are closer to Xirong. Those who come from families with some money and background do not want to be officials in these three cities.

Even if he succeeds temporarily, he will find a way to be transferred to Ningyuan County later.

But if I could become a county magistrate, that would be fine too.

After all, the county magistrate is the parent official, and is fundamentally different from the second-rate officials.

Old Lady He hesitated for a moment before saying, "In the Zhou Dynasty, donating money to become an official was not an easy thing. Back then, when I donated money to Huai Zhang, I didn't know how many times I ran around and how many connections I had. I only have 400 taels at home. Can I help you get the position of magistrate of Wei County or Lan County?"

Wei pursed her lips and said hesitantly, "Mother, four hundred taels is indeed not enough. My wife still has some dowry, so we can make up two hundred taels."

Old Mrs. He frowned: "I'm afraid that six hundred taels is not enough."

At the beginning, Wei's younger brother spent four hundred taels to resist the county magistrate of Mr. Wei.

The boss cannot match the position of others, and the He family is not a noble family and cannot use connections. Six hundred taels of gold may not even be enough to donate to become a county magistrate.

Wei hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to say, "Wife, I want to borrow the gold hairpin and the oriental pearl from my sister-in-law to lobby for it. I'm sure I can get my husband a county magistrate."

Hearing this, Old Lady He slammed her hand on the table in anger and said, "You are so arrogant! Wei Sixian, ah Wei Sixian, you are really calculating! Borrowing the gold hairpin and the East Pearl is fake, but you really want to take the gold hairpin and the East Pearl away and use Lord Yan's relationship to get an official position for the boss in the state capital or even the prefecture capital! How dare you, how dare you!"

If the golden hairpin and the oriental pearl that symbolize "love" were lent to Wei Sixian, the fate between the old girl and Yan Shi would be completely destroyed.

Wei, this is going to ruin your daughter’s marriage.

What a vicious mind!
