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

This year, both Yongning Prefecture and Yuhu Prefecture were affected by disasters.

Food prices are rising.

During the autumn harvest, grain prices will drop slightly.

As long as hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are invested in the banquet to purchase grain, grain merchants from all over the country will come to the banquet upon hearing the news.

As long as you have money, the problem of collecting grain is not a problem at all.

At the banquet, there was surplus food, which could satisfy the garrison in Lizhou, intimidate the Western Rong, stabilize the people's hearts, and prevent chaos in the Western Frontier.

Many things that happened later might have been avoided.

Besides, she can still control the rainfall, so it is not difficult to stabilize the situation in Western Xinjiang.

If it really doesn't work out, she still has more than 60 kilograms of Dongzhu and supplies in the port space. At worst, she can take them all out, support Yan Shi, defend Yongning Prefecture, and defeat the Xirong people.

He suggested to Yanshi that he should buy more grain, and it would be best to dig a large grain cellar in Ningyuan County to store the grain. He Qiudi also borrowed the design drawings of ancient Chinese underground grain cellars and gave them to Yanshi for reference.

After finishing the main business, He Qiudi chatted about other things before leaving He's house with Yan Shi.

Yang Yi and Yang Ba were holding Dongzhu. They were very tactful and didn't ask anything.

Yang Ba was curious before, but after being beaten by Yang Yi.

Just do your work and stop talking.

This is especially related to He Qiudi.

In short, the young lady of the He family will not harm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and that is enough.

During the banquet, He Qiudi was sent to the grocery store.

He heard He Qiudi say that her family was in a hurry to deliver goods, but some problems had happened in the He family recently and things were not peaceful. So he said at the banquet that he would give his bodyguard Yang Liu to her, and Yang Liu would also bring two workers to help the He family.

He Qiudi originally wanted to say no.

But then he thought again, he was willing to give him thirty kilograms of pearls and hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, so what would be wrong with using a few of his men?

I just agreed.

When Yang Bayi heard that Yang Liu was going to go to the He family to help during the banquet, he winked at Yang Yi and said that he wanted him to go.

Yang glared at him.

"You're going? You should learn to shut up first. What's the difference between your mouth and a colander? Don't let those people from the He family ask you questions you shouldn't, or you'll see if the prince will beat you up."

Yang Ba refused to accept.

But he was really afraid that he would let the cat out of the bag and cause trouble for He Qiudi and Yan Shi, so he had to give up.

Not long after, the silent Yang Liu came to find He Qiudi with two servants from the Yan Mansion.

Seeing that it was getting late, He Qiudi said goodbye to Yan Shi and the others, and returned to Shiliu Village with Yang Liu and two servants.

As soon as they leave.

He Huaizhang came over in a hurry.

He said to Yan Shi: "Master Yan, you have business dealings with my younger sister, how come..."

"Lord He Huaizhang." Yan Shi glanced at He Huaizhang. He didn't care about his smiling face at all. His eyes were terribly cold. "Please distinguish between public and private. We don't have any personal relationship. Please keep your distance from me in private."

He Huaizhang didn't expect that he rushed here in a hurry and not only did he not meet Qiu Di at the banquet.

She even gave him the cold shoulder during the banquet.

No matter what, he is He Qiudi's elder brother.

At Yan Shi's time, no matter how high his status was, he couldn't get past his elder brother if he wanted to marry He Qiudi!

He Huaizhang looked unhappy when he saw the cold face he got from the banquet.

But Yan Shi completely ignored his dissatisfaction and just walked away.

"I have an appointment with Lord Du to discuss inspecting farmland and guiding the people in the autumn harvest, so I'm leaving first. Lord He, please do as you please."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

He Huaizhang was so angry that he stood there, his face turning red and blue.

"It's so ignorant!"

He Qiudi must have told Yan Shi about his affair with Wei, adding fuel to the fire.

That's why Yan Shi hated him so much.

He just didn't believe that without his status as a backing, Yan Shi could really marry that damn girl He Qiudi!

He Qiudi came back on her own without waiting for Mr. He to go into the city to pick her up, and brought back the guards and two helpers who were present at the banquet.

Everyone in the He family had mixed feelings.

He Qingya and He Qingshu were both very jealous.

During the banquet, he gave his guards and servants to his younger sister-in-law, obviously treating her as his own woman.

Wei Sixian and Xu Yushi both felt that Yan Shi was already deeply in love with He Qiudi. Although he had not said it out loud, there was only a thin layer of window paper left. All that was left was for the two elders to meet and discuss the marriage of the two families.

But Old Mrs. He thought about more.

What Qiudi and Yanshi did was nothing official and private.

From now on, it will be basically difficult to become the legal wife.

The best outcome would be that Yan Shi would marry her while in office, and then keep her as a concubine outside, without being bound by the constraints of Yan Shi's wife.

Old Mrs. He felt conflicted but relieved at the same time.

Struggling with Qiudi's awkward identity.

The reassuring thing is that Yanshi cares a lot about Qiudi.

What we can expect now is that Huaibi and Huaijin can have some success, support Qiudi, and strive to get the position of wife.

Fortunately, Qiudi is still young and can afford to wait a few more years.

With Yang Liu and two maids, the He family no longer needed manpower to make soap.

The next day, after He Huaian and Jin Guihua came back, Old Lady He asked Uncle Jin and cousin to go home first. The autumn harvest at home was also very important, and the He family could not keep Uncle Jin and cousin when they had more people.

Uncle Jin and cousin happily took the one or two taels of silver as wages, as well as the gifts that Old Lady He gave to the Jin family, and went back happily.

Xu Yushi walked out of the room.

"The child's third uncle." She asked He Huaian, "Where's your second brother?"

He Huaian's eyes were evasive.

He and Xu Yushi asked again: "Where is He Huaiping?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, He Huaian had to say: "There are still some things to deal with over at Qi Xi's place. Second brother will be back in two days."

Hearing this, Xu Yushi seemed to have suffered a huge blow. She sneered, took three steps back, and then fell to the ground.

"I knew it, I knew it. He Huaiping saw Qi Xi's miserable life and the fact that she had two sons. He felt distressed and was also tempted. Haha, where does he put me? Where does he put Qing Ya and Qing Lu? Where does he put the baby in my belly? I might as well just die!"

Having said that, Xu Yushi, filled with resentment, suddenly got up and rushed towards the pillar with all her strength.

He Huaian subconsciously reached out to pull her, but then he thought about the difference between men and women, and that she was his sister-in-law, so he quickly let go.

The rest of the people were quite far away from Xu Yushi and it was too late to pull her back. They just watched Xu Yushi hit her head against the pillar, her eyes turned black and she passed out.

Everyone: "..."

He Huaian raised his hands innocently and said, "I really didn't mean it. I didn't expect that my second sister-in-law would be so hot-tempered and bump into me as soon as she said so."

Everyone hurriedly helped Xu Yushi up, carried her back to the room, and then went to the village to call a doctor.

Fortunately, Xu Yushi didn’t really want to die.

He hit his head and bled a little, but his life is not in danger.

The doctor prescribed her some pregnancy-maintaining medicine and told her to rest quietly, saying that both mother and child would be fine.

But if I continue to get so emotional and do something extreme, which may lead to a miscarriage, then it will be hard to say what will happen.

After Xu Yushi woke up, she burst into tears.

Jin Cuihua said from the side: "Second sister-in-law, don't you want Second Brother to be with Qi Xi? Then you have to live well, otherwise, if you really hit your head and die, you will really make room for them and help them be together."

Xu Yushi looked at Jin Cuihua with resentment.

Seeing this, He Qiudi held his forehead helplessly and pulled Jin Cuihua away.

This matter had nothing to do with Jin Cuihua, but she was so unforgiving with her mouth that she took all of Xu Yushi's hatred onto herself.
