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

The second day is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

Qin Yunhe got up early and packed the New Year gifts for the teacher. He also took some vegetable dumplings, pickled vegetables and fermented rice wine that Mr. Gu liked, and planned to visit the teacher.

Thinking that Zhuzi had just returned yesterday like himself, Qin Yunhe did not ask Zhuzi to drive the cart, but instead found the ox cart driver he usually hired.

The carriage moved quickly and soon arrived at the county town.

This time, Qin Yunhe was a little excited and nervous that he couldn't contain himself.

Although he never mentioned it to the teacher, the teacher must have known about the Jin Biao case.

Although everyone said that the case was handled very well, he still cared more about what the teacher thought.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, and soon Bisong opened it.

Before Bisong could speak, Qin Yunhe bowed and saluted: "Brother Bisong."

This time Bisong was not surprised at all, and laughed: "Mr. Qin is here, the master is waiting, and he knew you would come in the next two days."

Qin Yunhe took down the New Year gifts he had brought and followed Bisong inside.

"Has Senior Brother brought back a message? He may not be home until tomorrow."

"I thought of it without you sending a message. I said before that I had a lot of things to do before the New Year, and I didn't know if I could come back on time."

Bisong pretended to whisper again, "Mr. Qin knows all about the case he handled. He has been very happy these days."

Qin Yunhe's heart started pounding again when he heard this, and he became even more nervous.

The two walked all the way to the inner house, and when they reached the door of the study, Bisong lowered his voice and said, "You go in by yourself."

Qin Yunhe understood what he meant, nodded, and watched Bisong retreat on his own.

After straightening his clothes a little, Qin Yunhe walked into the house quietly.

Mr. Gu was fiddling with something at his desk with his head down when he felt someone coming in and thought it was Bisong.

"I don't know why Yun Yun came today. These guys are all successful now and are busy..."

Although he knew that the teacher must be thinking about him on a daily basis, Qin Yunhe still felt tears in his eyes when he saw the teacher talking about him behind his back.

"teacher……"

Mr. Gu raised his head suddenly: "What?"

Qin Yunhe put down the New Year gift and bowed deeply: "Teacher, I am back. How are you?"

Mr. Gu came over and patted him on the shoulder: "Good, I'm doing fine. Come on, sit down."

"Arrived yesterday?"

"Yes. I came back after I finished my work here. My brother said he would probably be here tomorrow. If he is not in time... he might not come back."

"Well, he sent someone to tell me that he has been busy lately. Well, let's not talk about him anymore. Let him be busy."

Mr. Gu patted Qin Yunhe's arm gently and said, "I heard about the case you handled. You did a good job. This is how you deserve the title of magistrate."

"It's all teachers who teach well."

“Hey——” Mr. Gu stopped him with a raised tone, and said with admiration: “It’s Yunhe who strives to be better.

I have learned about the case. You have just arrived at the office and you have encountered such a complicated case. If you had not put all your efforts into it, you might not have been able to handle it to this extent. "

The teacher and the student talked about the details of the case, their subordinates in the hall, and their respective current situations.

They chatted a lot until the afternoon, when Qin Yunhe said goodbye to the teacher and left.

When Qin Yunhe returned home, as soon as he entered the house, he saw Yuger holding a novel lantern and showing it to Ruyi.

"Brother Yu."

Yuger suddenly heard the teacher calling him, and he looked up and immediately smiled.

"Sir, you are back."

Yu Ge'er seemed to want to come over and hug Qin Yunhe, but he stopped himself.

The young disciple who had not been seen for a long time stepped back and stood up, respectfully and seriously bowed to Qin Yunhe: "Sir."

Qin Yunhe smiled, patted his head, and said, "Why are you so polite?"

Yu Ge'er stood up and smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm not being polite. I haven't seen you for a long time, sir. I should meet you properly."

Qin Yunhe pulled Yuger to sit down.

"What kind of lamp is this? It looks pretty nice."

"My second uncle said it was a southern style, and he asked someone to imitate it. Sir, are you doing well in the capital? I heard from my third uncle that you handled a big case when you got there, and you were busy for a long time."

"I'm fine. That case was also solved thanks to your uncle's help."

Yu Ge'er snickered, "Uncle San said what he did, and my father said that Uncle San is used to exaggerating, so it's good that he doesn't make trouble."

"Haha." Thinking of how Yu Ge'er urged him to take Li Chang with him, Qin Yunhe said with some emotion: "Zigao really helped a lot. He is not exaggerating."

Qin Yunhe asked about Yuger's homework again, and when he looked up and saw the New Year gift that Yuger brought beside him, he felt a little guilty.

He hasn't had much time to teach Yu Ge'er this year. He can't keep wasting Yu Ge'er's time like this, right?

"Has your family hired a teacher for you again? Your teacher may not have time to teach you in the future, so don't delay your studies."

"My family hired a teacher to give lessons to me and my cousins. But a teacher is a teacher and a master is a master. I told my parents that I will take lessons from the teacher when I have the chance."

Qin Yunhe touched Yuger's head with some melancholy, feeling both relieved and ashamed.

Yu Ru came in from outside a while later and saw Qin Yun He had come back. She said, "Ah Wen, you're back. Chen Er came to play with you this morning. Do you want to come over?"

"Yes, I have to go. I was planning to go find him later."

"Would you two like to come with me?"

It's a rare opportunity for him to come back, so Qin Yunhe also wants to spend more time with the two little ones, Yuger and Ruyi.

"Yes!" the two children said in unison.

So Qin Yunhe took one of them by the hand and went out.

As soon as Qin Yunhe entered Chen Er's house, he smelled a slightly sweet medicinal fragrance.

As soon as we went in through the curtain, the smell became stronger.

"Hmm? What's that smell?"

Chen Er heard this and hurried out from the inner room: "Ah Wen, you're back! Come in quickly."

They haven't seen each other for such a long time. The last time Qin Yunhe came back, he was busy with social activities every day and didn't hang out with Chen Er much.

Chen Er smiled and tried to pull Qin Yunhe to sit down: "I wanted to find you in town this morning, but I forgot that you were going to visit Mr. Gu."

"What's that smell? It smells good."

The little kids Yuger and Ruyi had already run into the inner room where the smell of medicine was coming from without any courtesy.

As soon as they entered, they all said in unison: "Wow."

"It smells like honey pills." Chen Er led Qin Yunhe in, "Yunniang helped the pharmacy make some honey pills."

The two children, Yu Ge'er and Ruyi, came closer to look at the honey pills out of curiosity. Qin Yunhe quickly told them, "Yu Ge'er, Ruyi, these are pills. You have to take them orally. Don't touch them with your hands."

Seeing that Yu Ge'er and Ruyi consciously moved away after hearing what he said, Qin Yunhe continued, "You made it for the pharmacy? Why don't you make some yourself and sell them?"

"Honey pills are expensive and not easily available to ordinary people. Yunniang helps the pharmacy make them and charges a fee."

Qin Yunhe immediately thought of the key point: the herbs they planted would take several years to harvest, and if the family of three only relied on Chen Er's temporary work and Yunniang's cakes, the income would be too meager...
