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

Capital

Yu Ru didn't know that Qin Ci had appointed a husband for her until Qin Ci came home from school the next day. She hurried to consult Qin's mother.

"...Mother, why don't you ask Zhuzi to ask the Third Master if he is joking or serious. If he is serious, we should choose a good day and bring the gift of sacrifice to pay our respects formally."

"You have to ask. Becoming a disciple is a big deal. You can't just kowtow and leave it at that."

Qin's mother remembered how Qin Yun became a disciple, and there were many details to follow.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed it before letting Zhuzi go and ask Li Chang specifically.

Li Chang was originally joking, wanting to appease Qin Ci. Anyway, he did teach Qin Ci occasionally.

However, since Zhuzi came to ask specifically, he took it seriously.

After receiving the reply, Yu Ru quickly asked someone to prepare the gift of tuition, and selected the 15th day of August, and brought Qin Ci to become his disciple.

"......Have you remembered all the rules your mother taught you?" Yu Ru asked as she straightened her son's clothes.

She was worried that her son would not be obedient when he became a disciple, so she repeatedly reminded Qin Ci and taught him the etiquette of becoming a disciple again and again. The only thing she was worried about was that her son would make trouble.

Fortunately, Qin Ci was very serious about accepting Li Chang as his teacher, and did not refuse to learn by being unreasonable.

Qin Ci nodded seriously: "I remember everything!"

Since Qin Yun was not at home, it was natural that Yu Ru took Qin Ci to Li Chang's house.

Qin Ci was so happy at the thought that after he officially became a disciple, he could study with his uncle without having to go to the academy. He started shouting as soon as he saw Li Chang.

"Uncle San, I'm here to become your disciple."

Li Chang and his wife smiled and let the person in.

Yu Ru held Qin Ci and gave him some instructions: "First pay respect to Confucius, then to the teacher, present a gift, and serve tea. Do you remember?"

Qin Ci nodded solemnly again and slowed down his pace.

After Li Chang took his seat, Qin Ci first bowed three times to the portrait of Confucius, and then bowed three times solemnly to Li Chang.

"The student Qin Ci greets you, sir. In the future, I will listen carefully to your teachings and live up to your expectations."

Li Chang was very pleased to see Qin Ci being so serious. He nodded, helped him up, straightened his clothes and gave him some encouragement.

Qin Ci greeted his master's wife again, and then turned around and took the gift his mother had prepared for him with great effort: "Sir, master's wife, this is my gift."

Li Chang took it with a smile, and also took out a set of three hundred thousand and a writing desk to give to Qin Ci.

"...From now on, you will come to the teacher's place for lessons every ten-day break. Don't be lazy when you go to the academy on weekdays. I will test your homework on time."

When Qin Ci heard that he still had to go to the academy, the smile on his face froze: "Why do we still have to go to the academy?"

"The teacher has to go to the government office on weekdays and has no time to teach you every day. He can only teach you during his rest time. If you don't understand something on weekdays, you can come to my house after school and ask me."

Qin Ci immediately refused to do it and shouted in dissatisfaction: "I don't want to go to the academy, I want to take classes with the teacher!"

The apprenticeship process was going smoothly, and both the teacher and the students were very happy. Yu Ru was relieved. But Qin Ci suddenly became violent.

"Ci'er, listen to the master and don't make trouble."

Qin Ci shook off Yu Ru's hand: "No, no, I don't want to go to the academy for class."

The student, who had just been accepted and was well-behaved and sensible a moment ago, suddenly changed suddenly. Li Chang's forehead twitched.

"Qin Ci, you just became my disciple today, and I don't want to use the ruler. If you continue to make trouble, don't blame me for being rude..."

Changde Prefecture City

Qin Yunhe went to the hall to attend the trial as scheduled. Chen Lou was in court to hear a dispute caused by debt.

The original creditor and borrower passed away one after another, leaving only an orphan and a widowed mother in the borrower's family. The creditor's family is now headed by the original creditor's son.

Because of the issue of how to repay the debt, they filed a complaint from the county government to the department government. Chen Lou had already sent people to the county to inquire about the truth in detail and brought witnesses.

This case has been going on for quite a long time, and it is almost likely to be concluded today.

After witnesses and evidence from all parties have been presented one by one, the two parties will confront each other.

Chen Lou comforted the bullied debtor, an orphan and his widowed mother, and determined the method and time for repayment taking into account the debtor's situation.

The behavior of creditors who oppressed borrowers was also reprimanded and punished.

Finally, Chen Lou looked at Qin Yunhe carefully and said, "Sir, do you think there is anything wrong with my decision?"

Although Qin Yunhe was somewhat dissatisfied with the way Chen Lou handled the report made by Lin Chan and others, he believed that Chen Lou handled the case in a clear and orderly manner, and there were no problems with the trial process, including the final judgment.

"I don't think there is any problem. Judge Chen can make the decision."

Seeing that there was no problem with the inspector's decision, Chen Lou gave his final verdict and decided the case.

After the court session was adjourned, Chen Lou invited Qin Yunhe to his study room.

"…..It is indeed not easy for the orphan and his widowed mother, but they are indeed in debt, so I thought…"

While Chen Lou politely let Qin Yunhe go to the study, he explained the reasons for his decision.

Even when they sat down in the study, Chen Lou was still talking: "...Debt disputes like these in the countryside are the most troublesome. Although the creditor is a little wrong, he is still holding someone's money..."

Qin Yun was speechless. In fact, he just wanted to understand Chen Lou's trial process and see if he had a method. He was just listening there. Chen Lou couldn't possibly violate the law, so what could be wrong with him?

Qin Yunhe changed the subject and asked about the affairs of the hall. The two chatted for a while, and Chen Lou was still a little nervous, as if he was afraid of making Qin Yunhe unhappy.

Qin Yunhe had no choice but to ask Chen Lou to bring the case files from the government office for him to review.

In a blink of an eye, it was August Festival. Being away from home, Qin Yunhe didn't feel like it was a holiday. He simply reviewed case files at the office from morning to night.

"Sir, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. I would like to invite you to have a drink."

It was not until the evening that Qin Yunhe looked up after hearing the voice. He saw that the sun was already setting outside.

"No, I'll treat you."

The moon is full but people are not, and he is not the only one whose happiness is not fulfilled. Wang He and He Sheng can only spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with him in a foreign land.

"I have already bought some wine and food." Wang He said with a smile, "They are already set out outside, so please come in now."

"How can I let you spend money? You are traveling with me on a business trip, and I should have paid for you. I will let Hesheng reimburse you later."

Having said that, Qin Yunhe called Hesheng and they stood up and walked out together.

Wang He bought three cold dishes and three hot dishes, a pot of osmanthus wine, and a plate of reunion cakes.

"I also bought the reunion cakes at the street corner. I thought that even though we couldn't have a reunion during the Mid-Autumn Festival, we still had to eat the cakes. I don't know how they taste."

Qin Yunhe smiled and said, "It's just a metaphor for eating."

As he said this, he invited Wang He and He Sheng to sit down together. Without any distinction of status, they all had a reunion dinner together.
