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

Qin's mother heard faint voices outside the room and hurried out to see what was going on, but Qin Yunhe had already lifted the curtain and entered the room.

"Mom, I'm back."

Qin Yunhe was about to kowtow to his mother again, but his mother quickly stopped him.

"It's good to be back. I'm finally back."

She and her son were only reunited for a few months this year, and now it's been such a long time since they last met. She couldn't get enough of pulling her son up and down to look at him.

Ruyi also ran over and hugged him: "Daddy, you're back, I missed you so much!"

Qin Yunhe also missed his daughter very much, so he picked her up and rubbed her face: "Daddy misses you too."

Qin's mother and Yu Ru were still surrounding Qin Yunhe, looking him up and down, asking him questions.

"Did you eat on the way?"

"Yes, I ate some soup noodles when I passed by a town store..."

……

"How long will you wait?"

"The seal will be opened on the fifth day, and you can go back on the third day."

It was a rare reunion, so Qin's mother called Qin Si's family over, and the family had a reunion dinner together.

At night, Qin's mother began to coax her granddaughter to sleep in her room.

But Ruyi is older now and has his own ideas, and he refuses to go.

She hadn't seen her father for such a long time, so when she first saw him, she definitely wanted to sleep with him and his mother.

After much effort, and with the combined coaxing of her parents and grandmother, Ruyi finally went to her grandmother's room reluctantly.

After dinner, Qin Yunhe followed Yuru and helped her clean up while talking to her.

Finally, when everything was cleaned up, Ruyi was persuaded by Qin's mother to go to the main room to sleep.

The couple returned to the wing room. Qin Yunhe couldn't wait to pull Yuru to talk to her, but Yuru was busy cleaning the charcoal basin, getting hot water for washing, and filling the hot water bottle...

Qin Yunhe watched his wife busying around, and finally couldn't help it and grabbed Yu Ru, who had just put down the hot water bottle and was about to do something else.

She said a little aggrievedly, "Don't bother yourself for now. Don't you want to talk to me after not seeing each other for so long?"

Yu Ru laughed and said, "Why not? It's too cold, so we need to get the stove, charcoal basin, and hot water bottle ready first. Otherwise, how will we sleep at night?"

Having said that, seeing Qin Yunhe's aggrieved look, Yu Ru stopped working and sat down.

In fact, she was also a little anxious.

Yu Ru looked at Qin Yun He's face carefully and said gently, "Ah Wen, are you having a hard time?"

Qin Yunhe hugged her: "It's not hard, I just miss you a lot. When you're not here, no one talks."

Yu Ru hugged him back and said, "I'll go with you after the New Year. I'm worried about you being alone there, and Ru Yi is always thinking about you."

"Yeah." Qin Yunhe finally nodded happily.

Seeing that he was a little happier, Yu Ru smiled again and said, "I heard that you helped a woman who was almost wrongly killed to overturn her case. You are really amazing."

Speaking of Yan Guixiang, Qin Yunhe thought of Yu Ru who died tragically in the previous life. His heart tightened and he hugged her a little tighter.

Yuru felt that Qin Yunhe seemed to be suddenly a little...scared? Yuru looked up at him inexplicably: "What's wrong?"

Qin Yunhe quickly calmed down and kissed his wife gently on the top of her head: "It's okay, I just missed you."

Then he turned to his wife's forehead, nose tip, lips...

Qin Yunhe caressed his wife and tried to help her lie down, but Yuru suddenly remembered something and pushed him: "The door hasn't been locked yet."

"It's okay... my own home..."

"Wait a minute, I'll..."

Before Yu Ru could finish her words, she heard the door of the outer room creak open: "Dad, Mom, I want to sleep with you."

Qin's mother hurriedly chased after him: "Your parents are asleep, come back..."

Qin's mother had been coaxing Ruyi to stay in the main house without saying a word, but the little child suddenly jumped off the bed and ran out.

Mother Qin ran over and hugged her granddaughter: "Ruyi, be good. Your parents have something to say. Come and sleep here tomorrow."

There was a screen in front of the bed, so Ruyi couldn't see the bed, so she shouted, "Daddy, are you asleep?"

"Uh... go to bed. Ruyi will sleep with grandma first."

Before her son could finish speaking, Qin's mother picked up her granddaughter and carried her back to the main house.

Ruyi was still shouting something reluctantly.

When it became quiet outside, cold air came in from the door - Qin's mother was in a hurry to take her granddaughter back and forgot to close the door.

Qin Yunhe had no choice but to get out of bed and close the door.

When he came back after closing the door, he saw Yuru lying on her side. When he reached the bed, he found his wife laughing secretly.

Qin Yunhe also laughed, went to bed and hugged his wife, saying, "It's okay, the door is bolted this time."

Zhuzi brought some money home when he came back last time. Combined with the money Qin Yunhe had advanced him before, the family has been relatively well off in the past few months.

But after all, there are many boys in the family, and the little ones are eating me to death.

If Zhuzi hadn't brought back any more money, this year would probably still be a bit tight.

Fortunately, Zhuzi brought back a lot of rewards, and Zhuzi's wife's face was full of smiles again, and this year's New Year was settled.

The last time Zhuzi came back, his wife had just been diagnosed with pregnancy, and now she was slightly pregnant.

At night, Zhuzi gently stroked his daughter-in-law's belly and said, "This child is blessed and has come to a good age."

His wife said, "Yes, he ate better than his brothers before he was born. When he is a few years older, his brothers will also grow up and earn more. He will be very lucky."

Zhuzi smiled and said, "I hope it's a girl this time. The brats are making too much noise."

While the boys were asleep, it was quiet, and Zhuzi's wife discussed with him, "Hey, Ping'er will be twelve after the New Year. I was thinking, why don't you let him go to the city with you and be a servant to Master Qin?"

Zhuzi paused for a moment and said, "The family is not without a livelihood now. Wouldn't it be good for him to stay at home and take care of the family with his brother? In a few years, he can save some money and buy a few acres of land. Isn't it better than serving others? After all, servants serve others and look after their faces to make a living."

"We are not selling him as a slave, we just let him follow you and give him some silver.

You're already a 11 or 12-year-old boy, and you're going to get married in a few years. Why are you still running around all day?

Let him go with you to the capital. No matter how much the adults give him, it will be an income and he can also broaden his horizons. At most, he can be busy for a few years, gain more experience, and have money. If he buys a few more acres of land, he can get married. "

After a long while, Zhuzi said, "Have you asked him what he thinks? This is serving people, which is different from working at home."

"Why didn't you ask? How could I force him to go? I told him that he would be serving people there, and he said he was willing. He also wanted to broaden his horizons so that he wouldn't be ignorant and be bullied in the future."

Zhuzi was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll ask Lord Qin after the New Year and see what he says."

PS. In ancient times (some dynasties), the New Year holidays were based on New Year's Day (the first day of the first lunar month) plus the three days before and the three days after, so it was written as the fifth day.

As for why the holiday is on the 27th instead of the 28th before the New Year, it’s because I set a time as a standard, so this year it’s the 29th New Year’s Eve, haha
