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

When they reached the door of the main house, Qin Yunhe wanted to ask his mother to go in first, but his mother stopped.

Qin Yunhe was puzzled, but he saw his mother patting herself and saying, "We have been traveling all the way, so please shake off the dust and don't disturb the child's soul."

Qin Yunhe looked at his mother patting her from head to toe, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Chen Er and Fan Zheng also patted their bodies like Qin's mother did.

"Mom, big brother, please go in quickly, Yuru is waiting."

Ruyi heard the voices and ran out: "Grandma, Uncle, Uncle Chen, you are here."

Fan Zheng hadn't seen his niece for half a year. He immediately smiled and touched Ruyi's head, saying, "Hey, Ruyi, you've grown taller again."

"Daddy also said that I've grown a little taller."

Mother Qin couldn't wait any longer: "Ruyi, where are your mother and brother? Take grandma to see them."

"My brother is inside. Grandma, I will take you there."

Ruyi turned around and ran inside with Qin's mother, shouting as she ran, "Mom, grandma is here."

Mother Qin followed into the house, turned into the inner room and walked around the screen, and saw Yu Ru sitting on the bed covered with a quilt, holding a child in her arms. When she saw Mother Qin, she stood up and sat up a little: "Mom, you're here."

When Qin's mother saw her daughter-in-law and grandson, she was immediately delighted. She walked to the bedside and sat down: "Here we are, let me see my precious grandson. Ouch——"

Yu Ru handed the child in her arms over: "Mom, this is the certificate, and the one inside is the poem."

Mother Qin took the child and held him in her arms: "Oh, my dear grandson, he looks exactly like Ah Wen when he was a child."

Yuru carried Qin Ci out again: "Come, Ci'er, look, grandma is here to see you——"

Since Yu Ru and her husband reconciled, Qin's mother's attitude towards Yu Ru has changed a lot. Now that Yu Ru has given birth to twins for Qin Yun He, she feels that her daughter-in-law is pleasing to the eye, and she can't help but show her concern for the children while holding them.

"You have to wrap this headscarf well, as it's very dangerous to get caught in the wind during the confinement period. The millet grown by Chen Er's family this year is very good. We brought a lot of it this time. We will cook it for you when the time comes."

"Thank you, Mom. It's hard for you to come all the way here."

Mother Qin was holding her grandson in her arms, and when she heard her daughter-in-law being polite to her, she said, "Hey, how can I not come when you have a baby? Ah Wen is a man and he is so busy, how can he take care of me during the confinement period?"

Outside, Qin Yunhe invited Chen Er and Fan Zheng to sit down in the main hall.

"Chi'er, make some tea and tell the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes for lunch. Cun'er, take the maid to clean up the two guest rooms."

Chen Er said quickly: "No need to clean up, just make do with it for one night, Brother Fan and I will go back tomorrow."

"Going back tomorrow? Why don't you stay a little longer? I'll take you around the city when I have a day off."

Fan Zheng said, "You go about your business. We are just here to see the child and Yu Ru and then we will go back."

Ruyi took Qin's mother into the house and ran out again.

"Uncle Chen, the clothes Aunt Yun made for me are perfect for me. Please thank Aunt Yun for me."

Chen Erhan smiled and said, "As long as it's suitable, it's good."

Qin Yunhe smiled and said, "Where are the toys you prepared for brother Kang'er? Don't forget to give some to Uncle Chen."

Ruyi suddenly remembered and hurried back to her room to get it.

After a while, Qin's mother and Chi'er each brought out a child to show to Chen Er and Fan Zheng. The two children already had silver bracelets on their wrists.

Fan Zheng and Chen Er stuffed the longevity money into the two children's quilts, and each of them took one.

Qin's mother introduced: "This is the certificate, and this is the words. Look and see if they are exactly the same as Ah Wen's."

"Well, he looks like Yun He, very nice." Fan Zheng said as he put the longevity lock he brought on the child: "Good child, stay healthy and safe."

He put another longevity lock on Qin Ci and said a series of auspicious words.

Fan Zheng was holding the child in the outer room, talking to his sister through the screen.

"......Your sister-in-law is good at sewing, don't be disgusted, it's mainly for good luck..."

"I know. Thank you, brother and sister-in-law. It doesn't matter how good a patchwork quilt looks. There's no need to be particular about it for a child."

"You should dress warmly and avoid being exposed to the wind during the confinement period. Having two children is always a loss..."

Mother Qin heard this and said quickly, "Don't worry. How can I let Yuru catch a cold when I come? Yunniang also made some tonic pills for Yuru. I guarantee that Yuru will be fine after the confinement."

Fan Zheng thought about it and decided that, apart from anything else, his sister had just given birth to two sons for the Qin family, so Qin's mother would not treat her badly, so he felt relieved.

Chen Er gave Qin Yunhe the honey pills that Yunniang made for Yuru, and showed him the millet grown in his own family.

Finally, he took out the patchwork quilts Yunniang had made, and said a little embarrassedly, "Yunniang also made two sets of patchwork quilts, but I don't know if I can wear them. I need to change them and wash them."

"Of course I have to wear it. Thank you for taking the trouble."

At noon, the cook was busy cooking. Qin's mother went to the kitchen to inspect it and looked at the ewe prepared by Qin Yunhe. She felt very satisfied.

Worried that the cook would not be satisfied with her cooking, she prepared millet porridge and chicken soup for Yu Ru at noon. Everyone tried to persuade her to take a break but she refused.

After dinner in the evening, Fan Zheng and Chen Er went to the guest room to rest, leaving Yu Ru, Qin's mother and Qin Yunhe in the room.

Mother Qin looked at the patchwork quilt that Fan Zheng brought and curled her lips slightly. She didn't say anything. Instead, she picked up the patchwork quilt made by Yunniang and praised it, "Yunniang's needlework is really good. Look at the fine stitches. The small quilt is embroidered with flowers. Look at this little tiger head embroidery. It's really good. Chen Er is so lucky."

Yuru also agreed: "Yunniang's needlework skills are indeed good, and the style is more novel than others."

As Mother Qin spoke, she casually put the patchwork quilts made by Yunniang on the two children. The more she looked at them, the more satisfied she became: "The length is just right, don't you think? The two pieces made by your sister-in-law are a bit too big, so you can switch between them when the time comes."

Yu Ru didn't care. She had to change it anyway, so it was just a token of her appreciation.

Qin Yunhe watched his wife and mother packing clothes and said, "The imperial examination will be held next year. I wonder how Fourth Brother is preparing."

Mother Qin said confidently: "It will definitely be better than last time. Your brother said that he went a little late last time, so he will go after the New Year this time."

"We have to go early, otherwise it will be hard to find an inn. I will write a letter to my fellow countrymen in Beijing and book an inn for Fourth Brother in advance."

……

"Will Shi'er also take the Tongkat Ali exam next year?"

"Your brother also wants Shier to try next year. A Chong also wants Qin Jie to try together... After the children's exam, it's time to arrange a marriage for them..."

"Time flies so fast. Shier is now old enough to get married."

"But in the blink of an eye, children grow up quickly..."

----

As everyone remembers, Qin Yunhe had participated in the special examination before, and the regular examination was one year earlier, so next year will be the spring examination again.
