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

"Mom, when are we going home..."

"Ruyi wants to go home?"

"Well, this isn't fun at all."

After the initial novelty wore off, Ruyi began to feel bored.

When I was in the village, I had cousins, my younger brother, playmates of the same age, and many fun places in and outside the village.

And here, it was just after winter when we arrived, which was the most boring.

Before, Yu Ge'er often brought some new and interesting toys, and coupled with the newness of the city, I found it quite interesting.

Now Yuger is gone too. Although I take her out for a walk occasionally, most of the time she is confined to the backyard, which is really boring.

Yu Ru was also a little helpless.

There aren't many places suitable for children to play here, and Ruyi doesn't like to play many games.

In fact, the couple had already agreed that when Qin Yunhe was free one day, the family would go for an outing outside the city, but they hadn't found the time yet.

Before, Yu Ru would occasionally take her daughter for a walk on the street, but she has been feeling a little tired lately and has gone out less often.

"Can your parents take you out of the city to play in a couple of days?" Yu Ru pulled her daughter and coaxed her.

Ruyi was a little willful today, and pouted: "No, I want to go out and play today."

Yuru felt a little unwell since the morning, with a dizzy head, and didn't eat much for lunch.

Now I feel a little embarrassed when I hear my daughter's request.

Yu Ru hesitated for a moment and said, "Then let Chi Er and Brother Ping take you to the street to play first, okay?"

Although she was still somewhat unwilling, Ruyi nodded reluctantly, thinking that going out was better than staying at home.

She called the little maid Chi'er, "Chi'er, I'm feeling a little uncomfortable right now. Take Ruyi to the candied fruit shop on the street to play."

"Madam, would you like to ask a doctor to come and take a look?"

"It's okay. I'm just a little sleepy. Maybe I didn't sleep well last night. Take Ruyi for a walk on the street. Tell Zhao Ping to go too far."

"Yes."

After receiving Yuru's instructions, Chier changed Ruyi's clothes and took her out.

Zhao Ping had nothing to do at the moment, so he was waiting on the side, feeling very bored.

When he heard that he could go out and play, he was naturally very happy. He quickly said goodbye to his father and went out.

The candied fruit shop was not far away, and the three of them walked slowly and soon arrived there.

Ruyi took a long time to choose and finally ordered two or three candied fruits.

In fact, she didn't want to eat any candied fruits now, she just wanted to find something fun, but she couldn't find it.

So when he came out, he took the ruler and walked around here and there with Zhao Ping.

Chier remembered Yuru's instructions and didn't dare to let Ruyi go too far, so she coaxed, "Miss, let's go back now, the Madam is still waiting."

Ruyi pouted and said, "It's not fun at all to go back."

Zhao Ping agreed with this statement very much: "That's right. There's no point in having those people come and go."

At this point, an idea suddenly occurred to Zhao Ping, and he continued, "Ruyi, do you want to go play in the garden?"

Chi'er was anxious and said quickly, "No! Madam won't let us go far."

"It's okay. The garden is in the city, not far away."

Ruyi's eyes sparkled: "What garden?"

Zhao Ping was afraid that Ruyi didn't want to go, so he quickly said, "It's the garden of Yuge'er's friend. The scenery inside is very beautiful, with mountains, water, peach blossoms, and swings. It's more fun than Yunshan."

"Really?" Ruyi's eyes lit up.

She had been confined to the backyard since she arrived, and at most she had only wandered around this street.

Her parents always said they would take her for an outing but they never went out.

Zhao Ping nodded vigorously: "Really! Do you remember that time when Yu Ge'er said he wanted to take you out to play, but your father didn't agree? That time we went to that garden. Yu Ge'er also brought you a kite."

After hearing this, Ruyi remembered.

At that time, Yuger said that his friend invited him to enjoy the scenery, and his friend's sister was also there, so he wanted to take Ruyi with him.

Unfortunately, her father did not agree.

Later, Yu Geer came back and told Ruyi about the many wonderful things in the garden. Ruyi was both yearning and regretful. Then her parents said again that they would take her to the outskirts of the city for an outing in a few days.

However, so many days have passed, Yuger has been back for a long time, and they have not taken her away yet!

"I'm going!"

"No, miss! Madam won't let you go far. Madam will get worried if you stay outside for too long."

"Sister Chi'er, the garden is really close. It only takes an hour to go back and forth. Wandering on this street is boring and a waste of time. Isn't it different?"

Since Zhao Ping arrived, he has not had time to go around and usually has to wait on the side.

Even if there was an errand, Qin Yunhe would not order him around because he was young. He could only play with him when he accompanied Yu Ge'er out to play.

He has long wanted to go to the garden again.

Ruyi also hurriedly said, "Brother Ping, I want to go."

"Okay, let's go!"

Zhao Ping quickly carried Ruyi on his back and walked towards the west of the city.

Chi Er followed behind and tried to stop him: "No, Zhao Ping, the Madam won't let you go far."

"Hey, Sister Chi'er, the Madam just asked us to bring the young lady out to play. What's the point of playing if we don't go anywhere?"

Chi'er was extremely anxious, so Zhao Ping teased her, "Why don't you go back and tell Madam that we are going to play at Wu's Tingfeng Garden in the west of the city and will be back in an hour."

Chi Er knew that they would definitely not go back if she persuaded them alone, so she said, "Then you wait until I come back before you leave."

"Okay, sister Chi'er, go ahead."

Chi'er ran back quickly.

After Chi'er left, Zhao Ping and others waited for a while and then began to carry Ruyi on their backs and slowly walk towards the direction of Tingfeng Garden as they remembered.

I stopped at the first intersection I remembered turning.

"Brother Ping, can we walk faster?" Ruyi said anxiously.

"Ruyi, don't be anxious. Let's walk slowly and wait for Sister Chi'er, okay?"

After waiting for a while, Chi'er still didn't come back.

Zhao Ping thought, it wasn’t far anyway, he could just go there and come back quickly, so he turned a corner and continued walking in the direction he remembered.

In fact, Zhao Ping had only been there once with Yu Ge'er, and he only remembered the general direction. He had gone there in a horse-drawn carriage before, and it took less than two quarters of an hour. He estimated that it would take at most two or three quarters of an hour to walk there.

However, when we actually started walking, the road was not so easy to find.

The route that seemed clear at first suddenly became blurry. After all, this was not a place he was familiar with, and the streets and houses everywhere looked the same.

He walked and stopped with Ruyi on his back, looking around, and after walking for more than half an hour, he finally saw the garden gate.

"Ruyi, we're here, look over there."

I had been thinking of going back because I hadn't reached my destination yet, but suddenly I heard Zhao Ping calling me and I immediately perked up.

Zhao Ping carried Ruyi on his back to the garden and approached it. He said to the gatekeeper, "Excuse me, big brother. Is Brother Xiaoqiu here?"

"Xiao Qiu is not here today," the concierge looked the two people up and down with scrutiny: "You..."

Zhao Ping was a little disappointed when he heard that Xiaoqiu was not there, and thought that he might not be able to get in, but when he saw that the doorman seemed to know him, he became more energetic.

But then the doorman asked, "Are you the daughter and servant of the Magistrate's family?"

Zhao Ping nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

"Ouch!" the man hurriedly said, "You are finally here. The Magistrate was so worried that he sent runners to look for you. Don't move. I will send someone to report to the Magistrate's office."
