In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner
Chapter 20: An Assassination During a Banquet
In addition to the gifts given to each person, Wei also brought back two hens, two large grass carps, tofu, several pounds of fresh meat, and some eggs and duck eggs. She said that these were to be a snack for the He family. It has been a busy farming season recently and everyone has to work, so they need to eat something good to replenish their bodies.
Wei said a lot of appropriate words, making the whole family happy.
Seeing that Wei brought back a lot of good things, Grandma He took out a piece of smoked bacon that had been dried yesterday afternoon and made a dish of fried bacon with smoked bamboo shoots.
A delicious tofu and fish soup was made using the ingredients that Wei brought back.
I made a large portion of fried duck eggs with dried radish, fried pork belly with salted cowpeas, three vegetarian dishes, and cooked a large bowl of noodles.
When Grandma He was cooking these dishes, she explained the key points to He Qiudi and the other three one by one.
Influenced by He Qiudi, she did not hide anything and explained it in great detail.
As for how much He Qingya and He Qinglu can learn, it is not her business.
While eating, Wei looked at the sumptuous lunch on the table and was sure that her mother-in-law was very happy with her and would be able to do a good job this time when she came back.
in the afternoon.
After taking a nap, He Qiudi went to the old well to drain some water and then came back to practice archery.
Dalang knew that the pheasant today was shot by Sanlang, so he held back his spirit of not admitting defeat and kept competing with Sanlang.
He Qiudi practiced for more than an hour, and then felt tired, so he went back to the room to rest.
After waking up, I went to the port to plant vegetables, collect chicken, duck and goose eggs, dig deep pools, and organize supplies.
It was not until the evening that I left the room and went to the kitchen to learn cooking from Grandma He.
Today's dinner is still sumptuous.
After dinner, Wei was just thinking of taking advantage of Mrs. He's good mood and bringing He Qiudi to stay in the city for a few days when she returned in two days. But Mrs. He said, "My dear, since you are back, you should cook and deliver meals for everyone at home from tomorrow on."
"Auntie?"
Wei was stunned for a moment and didn't react to the meaning of Mrs. He's words.
Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law asked someone to find her and asked her to return to Shiliu Village to help with the busy farm work.
"What's wrong? Are you unhappy? Didn't you say you came back because you were thinking about the spring ploughing and harvest at home? Tomorrow, the old man will take the second and third sons and their couples to harvest the winter wheat. They will go out at dawn and go to the fields with just some food. They will cook lunch a little earlier and eat it in the fields. The wheat is ripe, but it can't be left to rot in the fields. If it rains, the harvest of the past six months will be ruined."
Wei laughed awkwardly and said, "Mother, I don't know how to cook. With my limited skills, I can't cook for a whole family."
Old Lady He frowned and said solemnly, "You can't cook, but Aunt Lin can. When she's done, you and Qingshu should deliver it to the fields. Starting tomorrow, even I have to go to the fields to harvest wheat. Why, you don't even want to cook or deliver food?"
The last sentence was very unhappy.
Old Lady He raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why, asking you to serve me and this old man is humiliating your status as an official's wife?"
Wei: "I...I didn't. Mother, I came back to serve you and father on behalf of the master. Mother, I will make the final decision on my daughter-in-law."
She is an official's wife.
It's ridiculous to work in the fields like a village woman in the mountains.
Wei was so sad, but she didn't dare to disobey Old Lady He, so she had to bow her head and submit.
Don't make your mother-in-law unhappy.
Otherwise, she would not be able to accomplish what the master asked her to do.
"Yes." Seeing Wei's surrender, Old Lady He half-raised her neck in satisfaction and ordered, "Starting tomorrow, the family will officially start the spring harvest. No one is allowed to slack off, otherwise you'll have to take care of your skin."
"Sanlang is responsible for herding cattle and collecting grass for pigs. Erya and Sanya are responsible for feeding chickens, pigs, sheep, donkeys and mules, digging wild vegetables and washing clothes. Dalang is eleven years old this year. If he can't study, he will work in the fields with us. You have to choose a way to support the family, between studying and tending to the crops. Erlang will study hard at home, and Daya will work as a maid at home. As for Nannan...you should stop running around in the mountains and fields, and stay at home to help Erya and the other two with their work."
Old Mrs. He arranged everyone's work in just a few words.
Everyone in the He family looked at the two elders.
The old man said solemnly: "Just do as your mother said. Work hard this spring and save food in case the drought continues and your family has no food for the winter."
"Father, mother, we will work hard!"
"Auntie, grandma, we will work hard!"
Human beings are essentially parrots, and the rest of the people followed suit.
He Qiudi: “…”
What about her plan to make money?
She has to harvest the wheat in the fields before she can go to the mountains to look for opportunities to make money?
After the meeting, He Qiudi returned to the house in a depressed mood. After entering the port, he asked Xiao Chunmao for four kilograms/eight catties of silver, totaling one hundred and twenty-eight taels of silver.
This opportunity will not last until the end of the month.
Anyway, you can still get silver and gold starting next month.
She held Baiyin under her pillow, laughed so hard that her mouth was drooling, and fell asleep dreaming about a tryst with a handsome man.
She had a special status in her previous life, and because of her responsibilities and upbringing, she did not dare to live an extravagant life.
In this life, if you are born as an ordinary person, you must make money, support a man, spend money like water, and enjoy the happiness of "spending all your money and getting it back"~

Dead of night.
In the best inn in Ningyuan County, Yan Shi, who was sleeping, suddenly felt a danger approaching. The moment he opened his eyes, he instinctively pulled out the dagger under his pillow and used it to block the danger.
Two crisp sounds of metal colliding were heard, "bang--dang".
I suddenly lost all desire to sleep during the banquet.
In the dark night, he saw a masked man in black slashing at him with a dagger in both hands.
"Yang Ba!" Yan Shi shouted loudly and pushed forward with his right hand. With a crisp "ding" sound, the dagger in the killer's hand broke. He did not realize that he had lost his strength and died on the spot.
Yan Shi held the knife in his right hand, slashed it diagonally, and swept it back. The sharp short steel knife instantly cut off the killer's arm holding the knife.
The next second, the bloodless dagger was already on the killer's neck.
In the darkness, the killer looked at his severed arm in a daze. Before he could react how his arm was cut off, he felt a chill on his neck and his situation became extremely dangerous.
"what--"
Two seconds later, a piercing pain came from the broken arm, and the killer screamed while holding his hand.
At the same time, the door of the room was slammed open, and Yang Ba rushed in. Under the dim light in the corridor outside the gatehouse, he swiftly drew out his sword and stabbed the killer in the heart.
Yan Shi quickly reminded: "Leave him alive!"
Yang Ba changed the direction of the sword in his hand and stabbed the killer in the back of the shoulder. While controlling the opponent, he reached out to break the opponent's jaw.
Unfortunately, it was still a step too late. The killer reacted to the severe pain of losing his arm and bit the poison sac hidden in his teeth and committed suicide by taking the poison.
In a short while, the assassin died of the poison.
"Sir!" Yang Ba knelt down with his hands clasped together, "It is my fault for failing in my duty. Please punish me."
"This is not your fault. The people sent by the other party are assassins. It is not easy to keep them alive."
Yan Shi put the dagger on the mattress, stood up with the help of his left hand and helped Yang Ba, who was kneeling on the ground, up.
His master almost got into trouble, but he didn't hear the sound of the assassin sneaking in. He deserves to die!
The other four guards entered the room and quickly took out tinder to light the candles in the room.
Under the candlelight, the scene inside the house was clearly visible.
Several guards were so frightened that they immediately knelt down and kowtowed, their hearts filled with horror.
"I am guilty of a crime worthy of death. I allowed an assassin to sneak into the room and assassinate you. Please punish me!"
"Everyone, get up first. Yang Yi and the others are not here, and the inn is shabby. It's not easy for the five of you to take turns protecting me all day long. It will be easier when we move into the government office in a few days."
Yang Yi took Yang San and Yang Si, and Yang Er took Yang Wu and Yang Liu and split into two groups. They took them to the capital of Yuhu Mansion with the evidence of treason against the king's uncle that they brought back from the Western Rong Kingdom. They have not returned yet.
He was assassinated deep in the mountains behind Shiliu Village a few days ago, and was intercepted by Xirong people disguised as bandits.
