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

When Qin Yunhe entered the room, Qin Si was talking to his eldest son Qin Shi in the inner room, apparently giving him advice on an article.

My sister-in-law Lianhua was sweeping the floor in the main room when she felt a person coming in from the doorway, then she looked up and saw Qin Yunhe coming in.

"Awen, why are you back?" Fourth sister-in-law looked surprised.

Qin Si heard the voice and hurried out, also a little surprised: "Ah Wen..."

Qin Yunhe didn't wait for his brother to finish speaking. He knelt down at the door and kowtowed to his brother solemnly.

My brother was unable to take the exam this time, and the delay lasted another three years.

How many three years do we have in our life?

His brother is more diligent, more hardworking, and takes on more responsibilities than him.

It is obvious that my brother is the one who deserves a brighter future.

Qin Si understood what was going on immediately and hurried over to pull him up: "She is also my mother, isn't this what she should do?"

Qin Yunhe's eyes were a little wet again.

What should it be?

My brother has been adopted out, so this should be his responsibility.

But he couldn't say it, because if he did, it would hurt his brother and sister-in-law's feelings.

Qin Yunhe lowered his head.

He didn't want to cry anymore, but he couldn't hold back another big tear.

In front of his brother, he always felt like a child.

Qin Si patted him and said, "Don't cry, come in and sit down. We haven't seen each other for a year, and Fourth Brother misses you very much."

Qin Shi just stood by the door and didn't dare to speak. Now he saw his father finished talking to his uncle and then he bowed to Qin Yunhe: "Uncle."

Qin Yunhe felt a little embarrassed when he saw his nephew standing aside, and nodded: "Shier is at home."

Qin Shi is fifteen years old now, and is almost as tall as his father when he stands there.

Qin Yunhe suddenly remembered that his nephew should have finished the county exam.

"I hope Shier's county exam was not delayed. I wonder how he did."

"Uncle, I passed the county exam and will be able to take part in the provincial exam in just over a month." Speaking of this, Qin Shi couldn't help but feel a little proud.

Qin Yunhe's mood suddenly improved a lot. He patted his nephew with satisfaction and encouraged him, "Shi'er is very smart. He passed the county exam in one try. Concentrate on preparing for the exam and pass the prefectural exam in one go. Your uncle will give you a reward."

Qin Shi was a little excited and a little shy after being encouraged: "Thank you, uncle."

Lianhua smiled and said, "Don't thank your uncle yet. You have to pass first before you can get the reward. Just for your uncle's reward, you must not slack off in the next few days."

Qin Shi smiled shyly again: "I don't dare to slack off even if there is no reward."

Qin Si was also amused, and led his brother to the study with a smile.

Before Qin Yunhe asked about the details of his mother's illness, he sat down with his brother and asked about the details of what happened.

"…It happened on the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year. Yunniang happened to go to see our mother and discovered something was wrong. Your sister-in-law and I only found out after Yunniang had finished the acupuncture."

"Was it dangerous at that time?"

If it wasn't dangerous, why would my brother give up taking the exam?

Qin Si hesitated for a moment and said, "It's not that it's dangerous, it's mainly because the disease is quite urgent and everyone is a bit flustered. In fact, my mother had improved on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but I was worried. And I was thinking that I couldn't concentrate on the exam even if I went to the capital, so I simply didn't go, and saved the travel expenses."

Although his brother said so, Qin Yunhe didn't quite believe it. A stroke wouldn't heal so quickly.

In his previous life, his mother's illness was discovered a little late, and there was also a delay in seeing a doctor, so she suffered serious sequelae and half of her body was paralyzed.

"Brother, you should have told me these things. My mother is sick, how could I, as her son, not know?" Qin Yunhe still felt a little guilty when he said this.

"Don't think too much, it's really not that serious. If it was really dangerous, why didn't they inform you? My mother felt much better after Yunniang gave her the acupuncture.

I also thought about whether I should write you a letter. But I also thought that you have official duties and you have been in office for less than three years. How can you have a vacation? I discussed it with my mother. Anyway, it is not serious and I have recovered. So I did not tell you. It also saved you from worrying about me and not being able to come back. "

Qin Si was a little puzzled again: "How did you know that our mother was sick this time?"

"It was Brother Wen Shuang who wrote to me, asking about our mother's health now."

Qin Si suddenly realized and said apologetically, "I'm sorry to have troubled you, Brother Wen Shuang. It's not easy to book an inn before and after the Spring Examination."

"It's nothing, don't think about it, brother. I'll talk to Brother Wen Shuang. It's a pity that you can't take the exam this time and have to wait another three years..."

Qin Si comforted his brother again, and the two brothers talked for a while before Qin Yunhe went back.

Yunniang had finished the acupuncture and was talking to Qin's mother. When she saw Qin Yunhe coming back, she stood up and said, "Auntie Qin, you talk to the adults first. I will start the acupuncture later."

Qin Yunhe sent Yunniang out before coming back to talk to his mother.

"...Mother, why don't you come with me to the capital city? I can only feel at ease if you are by my side."

"No, it's so nice to be at home. I can play cards and chat with your aunt Fang when I'm free."

"But you're so far away, I don't know what's going on, how can I feel at ease?"

"I'm fine now, why are you worried? Besides, we have Doctor Yunniang here, which is more convenient than your place. It's hard to ask a doctor to come over so quickly."

"Yunniang came just in time this time. If...if..."

What if there is no one around and no one notices when the disease occurs?

Qin Yunhe didn't say it, but his mother understood: "Why are you worried? Yunniang usually comes to visit when she has nothing to do. After this time, she comes every day. Even if Yunniang doesn't come, your fourth brother and his wife come every day."

Having said that, Qin Yunhe still felt uneasy without his mother around, and in a dilemma, he blurted out: "Then let Chen Eryun's mother go to the capital city with me..."

"Their medicinal fields are just beginning to take shape, and they'll be able to harvest this year or next. They've been waiting for years, and they're leaving home just for you?"

Qin Yunhe felt that what he said was inappropriate. It was too selfish.

then what should we do?

Qin Yunhe felt depressed and frowned in thought.

An idea turned over and over in his mind, and finally, he blurted out: "Then I will resign and return home."
