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

They haven't seen each other for a long time, and Qin Yunhe took the opportunity to test and guide Yu Ge'er's studies as he was not too busy with official duties recently.

Whenever Qin Yunhe gave a suggestion, Yu Ge'er would understand it immediately. Qin Yunhe was very pleased that he could understand it as soon as he was told and could learn it as soon as he was taught.

It can be seen that the teacher hired by the Li family is very talented, and although Yu Ge'er always seems to be playful, he is still attentive to his studies.

Yuger and Ruyi haven't seen each other for nearly a year. Although they occasionally exchange letters, they still miss each other.

When Qin Yunhe was not available to teach Yu Ge'er, Yu Ge'er would do his homework with Ruyi. Now he was able to give Ruyi instructions and knew what to teach and how to teach.

After finishing their homework, the two children would play Qin Zheng Qin Ci together, or stumble over poems together, and play with birds.

The sunbird that Yuger gave to Ruyi has been raised for four years and is very close to her.

When Ruyi plays with it, he will let it fly around. When the bird is happy, it will fly back to find Ruyi.

Yu Ge'er pointed at the sunbird that landed on Ruyi's shoulder and said, "This sunbird is really close to you. A few months ago, I asked my second uncle to find me another sunbird, but it still doesn't recognize me. I dare not let it go because I'm afraid it will fly away."

Ruyi felt a little proud after hearing this, and said with a chuckle: "Maybe it's because I've been raising it for a long time."

As the Chinese New Year is getting closer, the streets are gradually starting to get crowded.

The child is still young and it is inconvenient for him to travel, so Qin Yunhe plans to stay in the city to celebrate the New Year.

That day, Qin's mother hesitantly discussed the New Year's celebrations with Qin Yunhe.

"The New Year is coming soon. I want to go back in a few days."

Qin Yunhe was a little surprised: "Isn't mom here for the New Year? Why do you have to rush back in the cold winter?"

"Your brother will be taking the exam after the New Year, and Er Yue Shi Er will also be taking the exam. I am worried and want to go back."

Qin Yunhe was silent.

Of course he wanted his mother to stay and celebrate the New Year with him, but his brother had to go to the capital to take the imperial examinations after the New Year, and this absence would take at least a year or two.

He couldn't be so selfish as to keep his mother here to celebrate the New Year.

"Then in a few days, when Zigao's family returns home for the New Year, I'll let Zhuzi take you back, so that you can take care of Zigao and his family on the way."

"Okay, just go back before the New Year. Your brother will have to leave after the New Year."

"I have already written to my fellow townsman in Beijing, asking him to help find an inn in advance. I will also write a letter to my fourth brother, and he can come to him if he has any problems in Beijing."

Mother Qin was relieved when she heard this and said happily, "That's great. The capital is so far away, and your fourth brother is going to take the exam alone again. I'm really worried."

"Fourth brother will definitely find other fellow villagers to go with him, mother, don't worry too much."

This year, Li Chang did not wait for the seal and prepared to go home for the New Year on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month.

Qin Yunhe prepared various New Year goods and festival gifts for Qin's mother to take back, and asked Zhuzi and Zhao Ping to accompany Qin's mother back.

A few months have passed in a flash, and it's just in time for Zhuzi and his son to go back early to prepare for the New Year.

"...There's no need to rush back. It will be sealed in a few days anyway. Come back after the New Year."

"Yes, thank you for your consideration."

"I have prepared festival gifts for my uncle, my uncles, and my eldest brother. Please help me deliver them. My fourth brother will be taking the exam after the New Year, so he probably won't have time to go."

"Yes, sir, rest assured, I will definitely deliver it."

After seeing Li Chang and his mother off, Qin Yunhe had time to prepare New Year's goods for his family.

The atmosphere of the New Year is getting stronger on the streets, with people coming and going, busy buying New Year's goods or paying bills to get through the New Year.

Soon the government office was sealed, and Qin Yunhe finally had time.

Yu Ru had to take care of two children, so Qin Yunhe took advantage of the excitement before the New Year to take his daughter to the street to play.

Red lanterns, lifelike fish lanterns, and sweet and sour candied haws, Ruyi was very satisfied during the Chinese New Year.

Pickled fish, bacon and the like have been prepared in advance, and some fresh meat and vegetables are also needed, as well as vegetarian meatballs, flower cakes, fruits and the like.

Fortunately, we have cooks at home now, and many things can be prepared by them.

In a blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. Because the cook also had to go home to celebrate the New Year, Yu Ru ordered the kitchen to prepare the New Year's dishes early and wrap the dumplings in advance, and then let them go home.

Qin Yunhe took Ruyi and pasted up the Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu".

Only Qin Yunhe, Yuru and three children were left at home, as well as Chi'ercun'er and Hesheng.

Chi'ercun'er was sold by his parents, and there were no other family members in Hesheng's family.

In the evening, Chi'er and Cun'er cooked dumplings. Qin Yunhe didn't have so many rules. After his own meal was ready, he asked them to set up a table outside and have a New Year's Eve dinner together.

After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, Yu Ru took Qin Zheng and Qin Ci into the house to coax them to sleep.

A group of people cannot go home to celebrate the New Year. Although everyone is busy and lively, it is inevitable that they feel a little lonely and desolate.

Qin Yunhe felt sad when he thought about not being able to spend the New Year at home this year and thought of his mother.

Looking at Chi'er, Cun'er and Hesheng, they were all still children, and they left their parents when they were only in their teens. Qin Yunhe felt pity for them, gave them money to ward off evil spirits, and took them to stay up all night to celebrate the New Year.

Celebrating the New Year in the capital city is different from celebrating the New Year at home. There are not many relatives here, and the senior brother has also gone home to celebrate the New Year. Qin Yunhe only needs to pay New Year's greetings to Qi Tong and then go home.

However, everyone in the hall knew that Qin Yunhe did not go home for the New Year this year, so they all came to his house to pay New Year's greetings.

The seal was about to be issued on the fifth day of the New Year, and Zhuzi and Zhao Ping rushed back to the city from their home.

"…..The festival gifts prepared by Your Excellency have all been delivered to each family. The old lady will spend the New Year with the Fourth Master, so Your Excellency can rest assured. When I returned, the Fourth Master had already started preparing to leave for the capital."

Qin Yunhe felt relieved: "Thank you for your hard work."

It's February in a blink of an eye. Counting the days, it's time for Qin Si to enter the market.

Qin Yunhe thought that with his fourth brother's talent and knowledge, he would surely pass the exam in one go, but he didn't know how many vacancies there were in this exam.

If my brother's job search is not going well, can I give him the position of Director Lu? No, now he is a Yuanwailang, can I ask Yuanwailang Lu for help?

While Qin Yunhe was thinking this, he received a letter from He Wenshuang sent from Beijing.
