Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

After sending the driver away, the family went into the house happily.

"Now that you're back, have you been given an official position?"

Qin Si had already told his mother about the current situation of the official candidate. Although his mother did not understand it, she knew that it might not be that easy to be appointed as an official, so she was a little worried.

"Yes, he has been appointed as the magistrate of Xu Ning Mansion. He will take up the post in three months."

"A Tui Guan? What does a Tui Guan do?"

Qin's mother only knew the county magistrate and the prefect, and was somewhat unfamiliar with the prosecutor.

"I'm in charge of judging cases in the mansion."

"Oh oh." Although she still didn't quite understand, Qin's mother no longer worried about it.

"You have been waiting for an official position in the capital these days. Many people have come to congratulate you. Some of them I don't even know, and they said they would come back when you come back."

Qin Yunhe also thought of it, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

The family ate their meal and chatted about family matters.

"Mom, what has Fourth Brother been busy with these days since he came back?"

"I'm not busy, just going to the fields to check on them and read some books when I have nothing to do."

Qin Yunhe nodded. He had always been worried that his fourth brother would be discouraged and not want to take the exam again after failing. It seemed that he was worrying too much.

"I'll go check on my fourth and eldest brothers later and let them know I'm safe."

"Yes, yes. I have to tell you when I get back. I miss you."

……

After dinner, Qin Yunhe gave the gifts to his mother, wife and daughter one by one, and then walked around with the gifts he brought for his brothers before going home to rest.

Ruyi was coaxed to sleep in Qin's mother's room, and Qin Yunhe and Yuru were finally able to sit down and talk.

"You didn't eat well in Beijing, how come you lost so much weight?"

Yu Ru had always been worried that Qin Yunhe was not eating well or sleeping well when he was outside. Now that she saw that he had indeed lost weight, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

"I'm fine outside, but I've lost some weight due to the hot weather and the travel these days."

Qin Yunhe pulled Yuru to sit down, and took the hairpin he bought for her and tried to put it on her head.

Before, Yu Ru only had wooden hairpins and silver hairpins, and Qin Yunhe had always wanted to buy her a jade hairpin.

He had seen this hairpin while strolling around the capital. Although it was not as beautiful as steamed chestnuts, the color was very beautiful. He felt that it was particularly suitable for Yuru.

Fortunately, I asked the price and I could afford it, so I bought it.

"No ordinary person can wear such an expensive hairpin." Although Yu Ru said this, she actually liked the hairpin very much when she looked at it in the mirror.

"Before I had it, of course I couldn't wear it normally. Now that I have it, I can wear it normally." Qin Yunhe looked at his wife in the mirror. The more he looked, the more he felt that the hairpin was a good buy and it really suited Yuru.

Yu Ru smiled at him and didn't bother with him about the hairpin anymore. She stood up and said, "Sit down for a while. I'll get some cold water. It's too hot. Take a shower and cool down so you can sleep better later."

If it was a normal day, Qin Yunhe would go to fetch water by himself, but now that he hadn't seen her for half a year, he felt lazy and enjoyed the feeling of Yu Ru taking care of him, so he just said obediently: "Okay."

Finally returning home, Qin Yunhe waited for Yuru to fetch water and then lay down on the bed in an ungraceful manner.

The bed at home is still more comfortable.

Turning over, Qin Yunhe found a flesh-colored dress folded at the head of the bed. It looked like a close-fitting dress.

When I picked it up and looked at it, it felt soft, flexible, refreshing, and as thin as paper.

Yu Ru was just bringing in a basin of water, and Qin Yun He was busy holding the clothes and asked, "Is this summer cloth?"

He had heard before that there was summer cloth in Shu, made of hemp, which was light and cool to wear in summer, so he asked Yuru if she could weave it.

At that time, I was just curious. Later, Yu Ru asked others, but no one here knew how to make Xia Bu, so the matter was left unresolved.

"Yes, it's summer cloth. I told Yunniang about it, and she said she had heard someone tell me how to make it, so I tried to make it. I don't know if it's similar to what the people in Shu make, but it's certainly comfortable and cool to wear."

Qin Yunhe took the clothes and compared them to his body. He was touched and hugged his wife again: "Yuru, you are so kind! How can you be so amazing to be able to do this."

Yu Ru was a little embarrassed by the compliment and gently pushed him: "You are sweating all over. You should take a shower first. It will cool you down so you can change into new clothes."

Qin Yunhe also felt that it was indeed a bit hot, so he let go of his wife and started to wash.

After washing, he put on the summer cloth clothes that Yuru made for him and lay down on the bed. The more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

Yu Ru also finished washing quickly, changed into a summer linen undergarment, and walked to the bed.

"It's too hot. There's a fan inside the bed. Hand it to me and I'll fan you."

Seeing the two people wearing the same clothes, Qin Yunhe felt soft in his heart. He took Yuru's hand and gently pulled her to the bed and kissed her: "It's okay, I'm not hot, let's take a rest."

Perhaps because he was very tired from traveling for many days, Qin Yunhe slept very soundly that night. When he woke up the next day, it was already two quarters past noon.

Yu Ru got up earlier than him, but didn't make it in time to make breakfast. Qin's mother had already prepared the meal and had eaten it with Ru Yi.

After breakfast, the couple sorted and organized the things Qin Yunhe brought back from the capital before the summer heat set in.

In addition to his brothers, Qin Yunhe also brought gifts for Chen Er, Yu Ge'er and others. Now that he had packed up, he took the gift for Chen Er and planned to give it to him.

Tuk-tuk-tuk——

I knocked on the door of Chen Er's house, and Chen Er's voice came from the door: "I'm coming——"

After a few footsteps, the door was opened. Chen Er was holding a big broom, obviously sweeping the yard.

Chen Er hadn't seen Qin Yunhe for nearly half a year. He also didn't expect Qin Yunhe to come back suddenly. When he saw him suddenly, he was stunned for a moment and then immediately showed surprise.

"Awen! You're back!"

Chen Er was so flustered that he didn't know what to do. He quickly threw the broom aside and said, "Come in quickly! When did you come back?"

Qin Yunhe was very happy to see Chen Er whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He smiled and walked in, saying, "I just came back last night, and I thought you might not have gone out yet."

"Well, there's not much farm work to do recently, so I'm not going out today."

Yunniang also heard the noise in the courtyard and rushed out: "Master Qin is here."

"I brought you some specialties from the capital."

Chen Er took it and said, "Oh, is it easy to carry such a long distance? Just come back, you don't have to bring anything for us."

"I didn't bring much, I brought it to you for your novelty."

Only after entering the house did Qin Yunhe discover that Zhao Yunniang had a thick waist.

Qin Yunhe was too embarrassed to ask Yunniang because she was here. He waited until she turned around and went out of the house to get some water before hesitatingly asking, "What's your wife doing..."

Chen Er grinned sheepishly: "Yunniang is pregnant."

Qin Yunhe was filled with emotion. In just one year, Chen Er's life had been turned upside down.

The two hadn't seen each other for such a long time that they had a lot to talk about, and they started talking about the river beach.

Chen Er was a little embarrassed when he said this: "...You are right. The new county magistrate really wants to collect river trespassing fees. Fortunately, it is registered under your name, so we don't have to pay."

Since I came back, I have been chatting with my family about their well-being and have not mentioned this matter at all.

Qin Yunhe sighed in his heart: What is meant to come will come.

Fortunately, his fame was of some use, at least it saved Chen Er the money for river invasion.

"Are we not allowed to plant the land?"

Chen Er nodded, feeling a little depressed: "Yes, they said that we are not allowed to plant after this season's harvest."

Qin Yunhe felt quite helpless and felt very sorry for Chen Er.

"Don't be sad. Your life is much better now. Save some money in two years and buy a few acres of decent land."

Yunniang came in with some water and heard Qin Yunhe's words, "Master Qin, don't worry about it. Chen Er told me about buying the river beach land, and it's because he didn't listen to you. Thanks to you, we didn't have to pay another sum of money for the river invasion."

Chen Er felt even more embarrassed after hearing what his wife said.

Now that things have come to this, Qin Yunhe certainly can't attack Chen Er anymore, so he said: "I know Chen Er also wants to have a better life. If I can help a little, it means that my achievements have not been in vain."

Yunniang said apologetically, "Master Qin, there is one more thing."

As she spoke, Yunniang glanced at Chen Er, who was standing next to her with his head down and not saying anything, and said, "Chen Er is a fool.

When others asked him if he had to pay the river invasion fee, he said he didn't know about it. Then he went to ask the head of the village, and everyone knew that our land was registered in your name, so we didn't have to pay the river invasion fee.

Previously, people from all over the village who bought riverside land came to ask Aunt Qin to put the land in your name. At that time, they were blocked because you were not at home. Now that you are back, they will probably come to ask you again.

They are all from the same village, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to refuse..."

Chen Er's expression became even more annoyed.

Qin Yunhe let out a long sigh in his heart and felt deeply helpless.

The villagers had tried to put the land in his name once before when he passed the imperial examination. How could he refuse this time?
