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

Gushui Town, Fan Family

"Hurry up, you two. It's already so late. If you don't go out now, how can you get there in time for dinner?"

While packing her things, Feng urged her husband and son to leave.

Fan Zheng frowned tightly, and Fan Hong also looked reluctant.

"Look at Yu Ge'er. Every time your uncle comes back, he runs to pay his respects, which makes you waste your energy."

Feng looked back and saw that Fan Zheng had no intention of leaving, so she said, "Hurry up! If you don't hurry up and go while Qin Yunhe is back, Yu Ru won't be able to make the decision after he leaves. She's the one who's responsible for everything all day long."

"Don't mention that when you get there."

"Why can't I mention it? It's not a bad thing."

"How old is Ruyi?"

"It's not like we're asking her to marry right away. Yuru was only eleven when she got engaged. Why not just get engaged first and get married when she's a few years older?"

Fan Hong felt like his face was twisted into a knot.

"Mom, I don't want to..."

"You don't want to, you don't want to. This is called a closer relationship. Isn't it better than letting her marry someone you don't know anything about? Didn't you like to play with Ruyi when you were a child? Can you still bully her?"

Fan Hong's face became even more bitter.

He had never thought about this kind of relationship. He had no brothers or sisters, and he always felt that Ruyi was like his own sister.

He hasn't even thought about marriage yet. He is now only thinking about taking part in the county examination next year.

Who would have known that his mother had heard during the Chinese New Year that his uncle was going to the capital to be an official, and she had begun to think of strengthening his relationship with Ruyi.

I even called my aunt home a few days ago to talk about it. Fortunately, my aunt said that my uncle should make the decision on this matter.

As a result, my uncle came back within a few days.

When he heard that his uncle was coming back yesterday, his mother immediately said that she would go visit relatives today and mentioned this matter indirectly. He didn't want his mother to mention this matter at all. One reason was that he really had never thought about marrying Ruyi, and the other was that he was afraid that his uncle would refuse. Then he...

Fan Zheng was also in a headache: "I've already said that, let's just forget about it..."

Fan Zheng doesn't know his sister yet. Although she seems to have no idea, she would not push the matter directly to her brother-in-law if she is willing.

"If you bring this up, they won't be happy about it. How can you refuse? If I refuse, you won't be happy..."

"How can you be sure that he will refuse? I'm telling you, even though Qin Wen is now an official, if he really gives Ruyi to a young master, he may not love her. Just look at the purse she made, the stitches, which rich family would be interested in it?

Our Hong Er is different. They are cousins ​​and have known each other since childhood. How can Hong Er dislike her?"

Fan Hong kept a bitter face for a long time before he said, "Why should wealthy families care about the quality of their stitches? They all have needlework wives, so why should they do it themselves?"

Feng choked up and glared at her son.

"Anyway, if I say go, I'll go. If you don't go, I'll go by myself!"

Excluding the time spent on the road, Qin Yunhe could probably stay at home for seven or eight days, which was the longest time he had stayed at home since he entered the officialdom.

Taking advantage of this rare holiday, Qin Yunhe went to visit his teacher and reported the results.

By the way, I also found Feng Zhuo and others to get together and talk about recent developments.

The materials for renovating the house were almost ready, and Qin Yunhe discussed the layout of the house in detail with his family, and was busy for two or three days.

That day, Qin Yunhe was at home playing with his son and daughter when Feng came to the house with Fan Hong and some things in hand.

"Sister-in-law, Hong'er, why are you here? Come in and sit down."

"Yunhe, sister-in-law heard that you were back and came to see you. What official position did you get this time?"

Feng had never been very polite to Qin Yunhe. Even when Qin Yunhe became a magistrate, she had never been so polite, which made Qin Yunhe very confused.

"Sister-in-law, I have just been appointed as the Censor-in-Chief. Please come in and sit down."

"The Censor, oh, sounds like a high-ranking official..."

Qin Yunhe was confused and let Feng into the house.

Yu Ru was packing in the side room. When she heard the noise and saw her sister-in-law being invited to the main room, her expression immediately became a little unnatural. She hadn't mentioned that matter to Qin Yunhe yet.

Qin Yunhe found that Fan Hong had been keeping his head down and keeping silent since he entered the room. He looked like he was worried about something and did not look very happy.

"Honger, why do you look unhappy?"

"Hey, you didn't want to move this morning and you got so upset because I said a few words to you. Okay, go play with Ruyi first, and I'll talk to your uncle."

Qin Yunhe guessed that Feng must have something to do, so he also said: "Well, go find Ruyi to play, Ruyi is painting in the wing room."

Yu Ru took advantage of this moment to quietly come in and said softly, "Sister-in-law, you are here."

Feng just hummed and continued to say to Qin Yunhe: "Oh, Ruyi can also paint, amazing, a talented girl."

"Just drawing for fun..."

Qin Yunhe watched Yu Ru come into the room and then sit aside quietly without saying a word, feeling puzzled.

Why is everyone in such a low mood today?

It would be fine if Fan Hong was unhappy, but he was a little concerned when Yu Ru was unhappy. Qin Yunhe didn't care what Feng said, and kept looking at Yu Ru.

Feng naturally noticed Qin Yunhe's look, and when she turned around, she saw her sister-in-law sitting there in silence. Thinking about Qin Yunhe's look, she guessed that her sister-in-law didn't mention that at all.

"Hey, Yuru, haven't you discussed that matter with Yunhe yet?"

Qin Yunhe was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Why is Yu Ru still hiding things from him? Now Yu Ru doesn’t even discuss things with him?

Yu Ru said helplessly: "I haven't had time to tell you yet, sister-in-law wants Hong Er and Ru Yi to get married..."

"You want to marry Ruyi?!"

As soon as Yu Ru said this, Qin Yunhe hadn't reacted yet, but a young man's voice outside shouted, and along with this voice, there was the sound of something being knocked down.

Then Fan Hong said in a shy and helpless voice: "No! I don't want to marry Ruyi, it's my mother..."

Fan Hong's voice was obviously suppressed, but everyone in the room could hear it clearly.

Outside the house, Yuger, who had just arrived, was being pulled out by Fan Hong with a serious face. Ruyi, who had just come out of the wing room, watched two people pass by in front of her, and no one looked at her.

Inside the room, Qin Yunhe never expected that Feng Shi came for this matter. In his heart, his daughter was still a child, why was she going to get married?

It took Qin Yunhe a while to react. He and Yuru were also engaged at the age of eleven. But when it came to his daughter, he felt it was too early.

"Sister-in-law, Ruyi is still young, I don't want to arrange a marriage for her so early."
