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

"Ruyi is back." Qin Yunhe waved to let his daughter in.

"father."

Ruyi greeted Qin Yunhe first before looking at Li Changyu, bowed and said, "Brother Zaiming."

Li Changyu also hurriedly bowed and said, "Sister Ruyi."

Qin Yun was puzzled. Didn't these two usually exchange letters? Why were they so distant? Could it be that they had grown up and knew how to avoid each other?

Perhaps it was because they hadn't seen each other for two years and both of them had changed so much that they couldn't adapt to each other for a while, so they both seemed very polite and distant.

Then I suddenly remembered that Li Changyu was already sixteen years old. At this age, his family should have started to arrange marriages for him, right? Maybe they were even about to settle down.

Because of Li Chang's words, he assumed that Li Changyu had not proposed marriage yet. Now that he thought about it, Li Chang's ideas were always wild and unrealistic. In fact, he probably didn't understand the family situation when he was in the capital.

Ruyi said, "Dad, Brother Hong is here."

Qin Yunhe was puzzled: "Come in if you are here, where are the people?"

"I'm talking to Uncle Feng at the door. He should be coming in soon."

Qin Yunhe nodded, lowered his head and continued to read Li Changyu's policy articles.

"Dad, I'm going back to my room first."

"it is good."

Qin Yunhe felt emotional, they have really grown up and now know how to avoid it.

Qin Yunhe pointed out the problems he found in Li Changyu's article one by one and gave him some guidance.

After a while, Fan Hong came in to pay his respects.

After not seeing him for three years, Fan Hong has changed a lot and now looks like an adult.

Qin Yunhe pulled him to sit down and asked him about his studies. Fan Hong felt a little ashamed for not passing the college entrance examination, so Qin Yunhe naturally comforted him.

"The college entrance examination is not easy to pass, so just treat it as a training. You and Changyu's essays are well organized, you just need to improve a little bit, and you will definitely win the first prize next time."

Fan Hong naturally also brought his own articles to give his uncle advice.

In fact, in Qin Yunhe's opinion, Fan Hong's article is already quite mature, but sometimes taking an exam also requires a bit of luck.

Qin Yunhe gave Fan Hong some pointers, and when he had finished reading the article, Qin Yunhe asked, "I heard from your aunt that your marriage has been decided?"

Fan Hong blushed slightly: "Yes, she is the sister of Mr. Liu from the county."

Li Changyu asked jokingly, "I heard that you still make friends through literature?"

Fan Hong blushed even more: "Don't talk nonsense, we have never met before. It's just that Liu Xiucai read a poem of mine and liked it a little, so he asked someone to be a matchmaker."

"Haha, your marriage has already been decided, why are you still embarrassed? I heard that Madam Liu..."

Fan Hong quickly glanced at Qin Yunhe and said hurriedly, "Shut up and don't listen to what others say."

Li Changyu covered his mouth and laughed, Fan Hong's face turned red, and Qin Yunhe couldn't help laughing.

This Yu Ge'er took advantage of Fan Hong's honesty and loved to tease him.

Qin Yunhe asked casually, "Changyu, what about you? You are sixteen years old, so your family should arrange a marriage for you now, right?"

"Students nowadays value fame and status, and would like to consider these things after passing the examination."

"Oh?" Fan Hong said mischievously, "Then how come someone came to my house last time when they were asking about you?"

Now it was Li Changyu's turn to blush.

Qin Yunhe smiled. Children of this age are still a little shy when talking about marriage.

But it is time for Yu Ge'er to get married. The next college entrance examination will take another three years, and he will be nineteen by then.

"If there is a suitable one, you should meet them first." Qin Yunhe advised, "It's the same if you settle the marriage and then prepare for the exam with peace of mind."

"I've already told my parents that I'm not considering marriage right now. There's no rush to get married. My studies are the most important thing."

Li Changyu seemed to have suddenly made up his mind, and his tone became firm.

After all, Qin Yunhe was just a teacher, not a parent, so he didn't force any advice, and the matter passed.

At noon, Fan Hong and Li Changyu were kept at home for lunch.

Qin Yunhe hadn't been back to the village for a few years, so the three of them went for a walk around the village together in the afternoon.

The scenery around the village hasn't changed much, but it looks a little fuzzy after not being back for many years.

In the evening, Qin Yunhe talked about the marriage between Fan Hong and Li Changyu, and said: "...I heard Zigao's words before and thought that the Li family was interested in the marriage."

When Qin's mother heard her son's tone, she felt something was wrong: "What have you been thinking about all day? Didn't you say before that the boy from the Lin family is pretty good?"

"I was thinking that Changyu and Ruyi grew up together. But today, they don't seem as close as they were when they were little," Qin Yunhe said with some regret in his tone, "Maybe it's because we haven't seen each other for too long."

"Don't worry about it. You and Lord Lin are both officials in the capital, and your two families are close. It's a great thing.

Yu Ge'er is a good kid, but the Li family is poor, and even Yu Ge'er himself couldn't even pass the exam to become a scholar. I don't think it's going to work out."

Qin Yunhe was speechless and didn't know why her mother was so snobbish.

Not to mention that the Li family is quite prestigious in the local area, the fact that Li Chang is now an official in the court means that the Li family is not completely poor.

As for fame and fortune, although he and Qin Shi both passed the imperial examination in their teens, it doesn't mean that if they fail to pass the imperial examination in their teens, there will be no hope in their life.

Mother Qin added, "If it was Li Chang's son, we could consider it, but unfortunately I heard that he was born from a concubine."

Mother Qin said and shook her head.

Qin Yunhe's forehead jumped: "Mom, don't talk nonsense."

"I'm not making this up. It's true. If you don't believe me, ask Yuru. Li Chang's wife told her that."

Qin Yunhe naturally knew that this was true, he just didn't want to talk about other people's private affairs behind their backs.

Yu Ru quickly said, "I never told my mother this."

Mother Qin rolled her eyes at her daughter-in-law and said, "I heard it myself. There's nothing to hide."

Qin Yun didn't want to dwell on this anymore, so he didn't say anything more.

Thinking of Li Changyu, although it was a little regretful, it was also a good idea to think about it. If my daughter said that home was too far away from me.

Mother Qin seemed to be in high spirits and said, "Actually, if the He family's son wasn't too young, I think his family would be good too."

Qin Yunhe finally understood that his mother's requirement for her grandson-in-law was that his father's official position should be as high as possible.

He Wenshuang is now in the court as a lecturer in the inner study. Your Majesty has granted him the official uniform of the fourth rank, the salary of the fourth rank, and he is also allowed to serve as the Deputy Director of the Ministry of Rites.

Qin's mother had heard about it before and had admired it for a long time.

However, based on Qin Yunhe's understanding of He Wenshuang, even if He Wenshuang's son was not much older than Ruyi, he probably would not marry into his own family.

It is one thing for them to be friends, but it is another for them to be relatives.

Of course, this was Qin Yunhe's speculation. If they were really of the same age, he didn't know whether He Wenshuang was willing to marry him.

This matter has been said and it is over. Qin Yunhe was just thinking about it casually. Although he felt it was a pity, it didn't matter if they couldn't get married.

After all, not all childhood sweethearts are like him and Yuru.

Besides, Yu Ru seems to like Lin Yun very much.

Anyway, I will not be coming of age until next year, so I can take my time to think about it and there is no need to rush.
