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

Originally, only a few people knew that Zhuzi had a new son, but when Qin Yunhe gave him a holiday, the entire government office knew about it.

Zhuzi was considered to be Qin Yunhe's confidant, and he was always thoughtful in his work. He had good relations with everyone in the hall and the government, so naturally everyone came to congratulate him on this happy event.

Since you have come to congratulate, you can't help but send gifts.

By the time the pillars were collected, there were actually dozens of taels of silver.

Zhuzi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

There were already several children in the family, and the old mother was ill and had to take medicine for a long time. Previously, they had said that they would send some children to school. Now they had another son, and even though he had a lot of allowance now, he was not very well off.

With these dozens of taels of silver, it will be enough to support the family for at least a few months. It will be a good opportunity to send the second and third children to school when I go back.

Although Qin Yunhe gave him five days off, Zhuzi came back on the fourth day to cancel his leave.

"Why did you come back so soon? Why didn't you stay at home for one more day?" Qin Yunhe asked in surprise.

"Your Excellency is considerate, but now that I have finished my housework, it would be better for me to come back early to do my work."

As he said this, Zhuzi presented the things he brought from home.

"Sir, these are the red dates, millet, and pickled vegetables that the old lady asked me to bring. It's hot out, so the vegetable dumplings won't keep well, so I didn't bring them.

Chen Er's wife also made some honey pills for the lady to replenish blood and stabilize the fetus, and asked her to take one pill every day. This would ensure that the baby would be born white, plump and strong, and the lady's health would not be damaged.

This is Master Yu’s recent homework, and there is also the katydid cage he made for the young lady...”

Qin Yunhe laughed. What kind of young master's toy is this? He should also think of giving one to Ruyi.

Zhuzi also laughed and said, "Master Yu had always wanted to go out for an outing outside the city with Master's wife and Ruyi, but he didn't go in the end. At that time, he said he would come back to make a katydid cage for the young lady. Originally, Master Yu put a katydid in it, but I was afraid that it would get bumped on the way, so I didn't bring it with me."

Qin Yunhe asked again: "Is everything okay at home?"

"Very well. The old lady is in good health. The fourth master wanted to invite her to live over there but she refused. Usually the fourth master would bring her meals on time.

Chen Er has planted sweet potatoes on his riverbank. I went to see them and they are growing well. Chen Er really knows how to take care of them, better than anyone else. I also went to see his medicinal herb field and it looks like it is growing well too.

Master Yu said that he felt that he had made great progress in his studies recently, and asked adults to take a good look at his homework. "

Every time he talked about his little disciple, Qin Yunhe couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, I get it."

Zhuzi also thought that Yuger was a funny kid, so he smiled too.

"Also, Mr. Feng from the county has returned from Longxi and said he would come to visit in a few days."

Qin Yunhe thought that he hadn't seen Feng Zhuo for a long time and didn't know whether he had returned, so he asked Zhuzi to take a letter back, and sure enough, he had returned.

"Mr. Feng said that he wanted to come and see you secretly in the next few days to give you a surprise, but he didn't expect you to write to him first."

Qin Yunhe smiled and shook his head: "Brother Chaofan is still so playful."

"How about your family? Is everything okay? Your mother is ill. Can your wife support you alone? And there is land."

"I'm sorry to have worried you. Maybe it's because of the warm weather, my mother has been feeling much better these days, so she can look after my wife. Besides, my kids are here, they're not young anymore, and I can always take care of them. I asked the neighbors to help with the farm work, and with the help of the kids, it's enough."

"I heard that you wanted to send your child to school. Have you gone yet?"

"I just found a school for them this time. The second child refused to go, so I sent the third child there. To me, these children of mine are really not cut out for studying. Alas!"

"Everyone has their own abilities and weaknesses, and you don't have to study hard to find a way out."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhuzi helped take the various things brought from home to the inner house.

Qin Yunhe took Yuger's homework and the katydid cage to the study.

Ruyi was practicing calligraphy. She didn't stop when she saw her father come in. She didn't stop until she finished writing the remaining few words before she put down her pen and ran over.

"Dad, it's time to go home."

"Well, it's time to adjourn." Qin Yunhe handed over the katydid cage in his hand and said with a smile, "Here, this is the katydid cage your brother Yu made for you."

"Wow, Brother Yu's weaving is really good!" Ruyi took it and examined it carefully. As she looked inside, she said, "Brother Yu said he would give me a katydid. How come there is none?"

Hearing his daughter's disappointed tone, Qin Yunhe explained with a smile: "Your uncle Zhuzi has to carry a lot of things when he rides back and forth on horseback, how can it be easy to carry? Originally, Yu Ge'er prepared a katydid for you, but your uncle Zhuzi was worried that it would be a pity if it was bumped and died on the way. Besides,"

Qin Yunhe tapped his daughter's forehead with the paper roll in his hand: "What are you two little ones playing with crickets? Be careful not to lose your ambition because of playing with them."

Ruyi pouted and said, "I have no ambition, but I can't lose it."

Qin Yunhe made people laugh: "If you don't have any ambitions, then set them up. Do you want to live your whole life in a muddle?"

Ruyi lowered her head and thought seriously for a while, then whispered, "I don't want to live my life in a muddle. But even if I have ambitions, I still can't even leave the yard casually..."

Qin Yun never expected his daughter to say such a thing, and asked in surprise: "Ruyi, what did you say?"

"Brother Yu said that there are many rules for girls, and no matter how old you are, you can't go out and play as you please. The last time I went out to play, Dad also said that I'm not allowed to go far away in the future."

Qin Yunhe originally wanted to worry that his daughter might get into an accident if she went out alone, but he didn't expect his daughter to have such thoughts.

"Ruyi, Daddy didn't let you run far by yourself because he was worried that you would run into bad people..."

Although many young ladies from wealthy families have various rules, Qin Yunhe really never thought of using them to discipline her daughter.

What he always wanted was to make sure his daughter had everything she wanted, and be safe and happy in this life.

He grew up in the countryside, where there weren't that many rules. Yuru had also played with him and Chen Er since she was a child.

But, it seems,

What my daughter said was indeed true.

In the future, the older she gets, the less freedom she will probably have.

"Brother Yu can go play with his friends by himself, but I can't go even if I want to..."

Qin Yunhe's tone became cautious: "Dad didn't agree because he was worried that you might get into an accident, not because he didn't want you to leave the yard."

Qin Yunhe felt a little regretful, wondering if he shouldn't have stopped his daughter from going with Yuger.

Maybe if she had gone with Yu Ge'er, nothing would have happened later? Yu Ge'er also said that someone else's sister was there too.

Qin Yunhe touched his daughter's head, feeling a little melancholy.

He has been a father for two lifetimes, but he still feels like he is not good at being a father and feels a bit frustrated.

Parents always want to give their children the best, but they are always struggling with what is best.
