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

Qin Yunhe returned to his office to continue working.

After returning home from the court session in the evening, Qin's mother and Yu Ru inevitably asked about the final outcome of Gao Zhong's case.

Qin Yunhe recounted the trial process, but was still puzzled at the end: "...I thought Yang was going through so much trouble because she wanted to leave her property to her daughter.

Who knew that after the trial, Gao Juren said that he had gone to Yang and said that even if he didn't want half of the family property, he would still take care of her in her old age and just asked her to stop making trouble. But Yang didn't agree and insisted that he marry her daughter. Gao Chong just asked twice more, and Yang ran to the government office to complain again.

Mother Qin said, "It would definitely be best to marry Gao Juren directly. Gao Juren is rich, honest, and a Juren. It's not easy to find such a man, and even if there is one, he would not marry Yang's daughter. Everything else is false, this is the real thing."

Yu Ru couldn't help but say, "Isn't it a solid basis to give half of the family property to Yang's daughter as a dowry?"

"You have to maintain your confidence. A woman with so much money will be watched by her brothers, relatives and even neighbors. One will come to complain about being poor today, another will come to tell a miserable story tomorrow, or just threaten her directly. How many families can withstand such a mess?

Even if she finds another husband, if he is a shameless man, he will spend all her dowry in a few rounds, and he may not treat her well. How can it be as reliable as marrying a noble man?

But looking at Yang's behavior, her daughter should not be someone who is easy to bully, so it would not be bad to take the property."

Qin Yunhe said: "Looking at Tian's appearance today, I feel that she is different from her mother. She seems to be a gentle and virtuous person."

Mother Qin looked like she saw through everything: "That's it. Yang must be worried that her daughter won't be able to keep the property."

Yu Ru, who was standing aside, paused when she heard her mother-in-law's words and remained silent.

Qin Yunhe remembered what Yuru had said before, that saving more dowry for her daughter would give her confidence. Knowing that Yuru was probably going to be worried again, he quickly picked up some food for her and comforted her, "Eat more food."

Mother Qin suddenly reacted and said nothing more.

On the sixteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, which was the day for the probation, Qin Yunhe finished his morning class and was about to take a break when Zhao Ping came in to report.

"Sir, Master Yu is here."

"Brother Yu is here? Why is he here at this time?"

The New Year is almost here, why did Yu Ge'er come to the city?

Qin Yunhe looked outside the door: "Where is the person?"

"Young Master Yu brought a lot of gifts and is preparing to have his servants deliver them to the inner court."

Qin Yunhe smiled helplessly and shook his head: "Don't let him work, go and call him in, and you can take the people to deliver the festival gifts to the inner house."

Zhao Ping took the order and left.

In fact, Qin Yunhe also missed his little disciple very much, because he didn't plan to go home for the New Year, and he also lamented that he didn't know when he would see Yu Ge'er again, and he didn't know how much taller Yu Ge'er would grow by then. Unexpectedly, Yu Ge'er came by himself just a few days after he thought about it.

After a while, Yuger followed Li Chang in from outside.

Seeing Qin Yunhe, Yu Ge'er hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down to kowtow: "Changyu greets you, sir. It's been a long time since we last met. I wonder how you are doing, sir."

Qin Yunhe looked at the disciple who came to pay his respects solemnly with mixed feelings, and quickly helped him up: "Hello, sir. It's almost the New Year, why is Changyu here?"

"I haven't seen you for almost a year. I thought it would be a good opportunity to pay you a visit as it's almost the New Year and I have to give you some gifts."

Li Chang said from behind: "Your Third Uncle is also in the city. I haven't seen him for almost a year. Why don't you come all the way to see him?"

"If you come to see the gentleman, won't you be able to see your uncle? Besides, didn't your uncle go back once before? How can it be a year since we haven't seen each other?"

Li Chang was once again amused by his nephew: "You little bastard, you can't remember it after seeing it once, right?"

Qin Yunhe knew that Li Chang was just joking, so he led his disciple in with one hand and said with a smile: "If Zigao is envious, why not accept a disciple yourself."

"I won't accept it. It's too much trouble..."

After they sat down in the study, Qin Yunhe asked again, "Do your parents agree to come at this time?"

"Yes, my parents agreed as soon as I told them. The teacher has gone home for the holiday, and it's winter now, so I have nothing to do at home. It just so happens that my third uncle is also in the city, and I will go back with him when he returns home for the New Year in a few days."

"That's fine, I'll feel relieved then..."

……

The teacher and the student chatted about their daily lives, with Li Chang occasionally interjecting and making jokes.

When Liu Dianshi came in to ask Qin Yun about the verdict, he saw that the atmosphere among the people was harmonious.

Everyone in the yamen recognized Yu Ge'er. When Liu Dianshi saw him, he smiled and said, "Yu Ge'er is here."

Yu Ge'er stood up and bowed: "Meet Liu Dianshi, how are you?"

Seeing how polite he was, Liu Dianshi liked him even more: "Good, I'm always good. Yu Ge'er looks a lot taller now that he's standing up."

"That's right, children grow up fast. They grow up in no time."

Yu Ge'er knew that Liu Dianshi must have come in for official business, so he said to Qin Yunhe: "Sir, I will go to see Master's wife first, so as not to delay your official business."

Qin Yunhe was relieved to see that he was so sensible: "Okay, go ahead. I have some official business at the moment. I'll welcome you after the teacher is done."

Yuger said goodbye to Li Chang and Liu Dianshi before leaving the study.

Yu Ru and Ru Yi in the inner house already knew that Yu Ge'er had arrived, so they were waiting there. As soon as Yu Ge'er entered the yard, Ru Yi ran out of the house to greet him.

"Brother Yu, have you met my father?"

Yu Ge'er smiled and went to greet him: "Well, I have already greeted the master, come to greet the master's wife."

Yu Ru lifted the curtain of the main hall and said, "Ruyi, please let Brother Yu come in to talk. It's very cold outside."

Ruyi grabbed Yuge'er's sleeve and said, "Brother Yu, come in quickly."

Yuger followed Ruyi into the house. As soon as he entered, he saw Qin's mother strolling in the main room holding Qin Ci.

Yu Ge'er bowed solemnly again and said, "Yu Ge'er greets Grandma Qin and Master's Wife. How are Grandma Qin and Master's Wife?"

Mother Qin smiled and said, "Hey, everything is fine. Yu'er has grown taller again. Come sit down and warm yourself up. It's a pity that you come to visit me in the cold winter."

"This is what a disciple should do."

Yuger already knew that his master had a new pair of twins. When he saw the children in Qin's mother and Yuru's arms, he couldn't help but move over to take a look out of curiosity.

"What are the names of the two junior brothers?"

Ruyi answered him enthusiastically: "This is the eldest brother, Qin Zheng, and this is the second brother, Qin Ci."

Yu Ge'er gently held Qin Zheng's little hand and shook it, saying softly, "Zheng'er, Ci'er. They are so well behaved."

"Zheng'er is very well behaved, but Ci'er is not well behaved sometimes and always cries."

Yu Ge'er laughed again after hearing this: "Children love to cry. My brother and cousin also loved to cry when they were young."

After teasing Qin Zheng and Qin Ci for a while, Ruyi took Yu Ge'er to the study: "Brother Yu, I'll show you Daddy's seal."

Ruyi had previously written to Yuger about her seal, and now that Yuger had come, she couldn't wait to show it to him.

Yu Ge'er was also very interested: "I also brought a few seals for you."

The two children went to the study room chattering, and soon put a pile of seals on the table.

"This 'Changle' seal was given to me by my father. Look."

Ruyi gently pressed the seal dipped in ink on the paper, and an oval mark appeared on the paper.

"I also have a 'Ping An'." Yuger took a seal and showed it to Ruyi.

"And this, this is Daddy's..."

The two children had a great time playing until noon when Qin Yunhe left the yamen...
