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

Xie Mingyue's eyes widened when she heard Ruyi call out "Brother Yu".

Brother Yu? Brother Yu? ?

Is he the brother Yu who told Ruyi the story of Kuafu chasing the sun?

That brother Yu who made a katydid cage for Ruyi?

What kind of bird was that Yu brother who gave Ruyi?

At that time, Ruyi always mentioned it. When asked, Ruyi only said that she was her father's disciple. Xie Mingyue just thought that as a disciple, she respected her teacher and loved her as a junior sister.

Now that I think about it...

Xie Mingyue looked at Li Changyu quietly and thought, Not bad, Ruyi.

You're not engaged at all, you're just waiting to have the coming-of-age ceremony to get engaged.

It's a pity that her parents wanted to ask for Ruyi to marry her brother, but it seems that there is no chance. I have to tell her mother quickly and never mention this matter again.

When Ruyi heard that it was a chess manual, she smiled and said, "This gift from Senior Brother is exactly what I wanted. Thank you, Senior Brother."

Li Changyu finally smiled and said, "As long as you like it."

At this time, Qin Zheng and Qin Ci also surrounded Ruyi and started chattering.

"Sister, sister, you are so beautiful today."

"Yeah! Like a fairy."

Ruyi laughed.

You know what, even though my younger brothers are naughty on weekdays, they are really supportive at times like this.

When Mother Qin came out of the side room, she saw her grandson still making a fuss around her granddaughter, so she said, "Okay, stop bothering your sister with the testimony. Your sister still needs to talk to your Aunt Qin and the others."

Qin Zheng and Qin Ci hadn't made enough of the trouble, but they also knew that they couldn't bother their sister today, so they had to let go of their sister's hand reluctantly.

Li Changyu was still not satisfied, but it would be inappropriate for the two of them to continue talking in the courtyard, so he quickly said, "Sister Ruyi, please go in."

Ruyi responded and took Xie Mingyue to the side room.

Li Changyu also went to the main hall.

In the main hall, Li Chang was drinking tea and talking with Qin Yunhe.

"…..The little girl back then has grown up in the blink of an eye. Children make people grow old quickly."

Qin Yunhe smiled and said, "It's not the children who are pushing me to grow old, it's obviously the years that are making me grow old."

Li Chang saw his nephew coming in and said to Qin Yunhe with a smile: "Ah - you said, Ruyi has grown up so fast, it's time for him to get married."

Qin Yunhe naturally understood what Li Chang meant and smiled, "That's right, I don't know what to say."

Li Changyu had just stepped in when he heard this conversation. He suddenly became nervous and anxious, and his face turned red.

Li Chang pretended not to know and continued, "How about...let Ruyi be our daughter-in-law?"

"Being your daughter-in-law..."

Qin Yunhe picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, then said nonchalantly, "I'll think about it."

The two of them sang in unison and made fun of each other, but the person being teased was Li Changyu who was standing aside.

After finally getting home, when only the uncle and nephew were left, Li Changyu went to his third uncle like he did when he was a child and said, "Third uncle, you are so nice."

Li Chang pretended not to understand and said, "What are you doing? You are being so attentive for no reason."

"Thank you, Uncle San, for talking to the teacher about...about getting married."

"Oh, that's nothing. After all, Qing'er is this big now..."

My dear?

Li Changyu's expression froze for a moment, then he reacted and acted like a child to his uncle, "Uncle, you're teasing me again."

Third Uncle would never arrange a marriage between Qing'er and Ruyi.

Although both families were tacitly aware of this, in fact, the two adults' ideas had basically been finalized. Now that Ruyi had reached the age of marriage, all that was left was to ask Ruyi's opinion.

Although according to Yi Yuru and Qin Yunhe, Ruyi should be willing to be with Li Changyu, they still have to ask.

At night, after Qin's mother, Qin Zheng and Qin Ci returned to their own rooms, Ruyi was called by her parents to their bedroom to talk.

"…I had my coming-of-age ceremony today. I will be a grown-up girl from now on."

"Mom," Ruyi said, "You and Dad have already had a talk with me during the day. I still remember everything you taught me."

Yu Ru laughed and said, "You think your parents are annoying? When you get married, you won't be able to hear your parents nagging even if you want to."

Ruyi's face turned red when she heard that, and she said, "Mother——"

Yu Ru and Qin Yun He both laughed when they saw their daughter's shy look.

Ruyi said, "Okay, Mom and Dad, go ahead and lecture me. I'll just listen."

Yu Ru grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Mother doesn't want to lecture you. I know you are exhausted from the coming-of-age ceremony today."

Looking at her husband, Yu Ru continued, "When a girl reaches the age of marriage, she is an adult. As an adult, she has things that adults should do."

Ruyi naturally guessed what her parents were going to say, but she felt a little shy and didn't say anything.

"You are fifteen now, it's time to get married. Dad and Mom want to ask for your opinion."

Ruyi lowered her head shyly, pretending to be obedient: "As for marriage, my parents will make the decision."

"That won't work. Dad and Mom definitely want to introduce you to someone you like."

"Oh." Ruyi still lowered her head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Dad and Mom have seen you playing with Yu Ge'er since you were little, and you are childhood sweethearts and very close. If you marry Yu Ge'er, are you willing?"

Ruyi may not have understood Li Changyu's feelings at first, but now that so much time has passed and she has fallen in love, she naturally understands a little.

But after all, she is a girl in the boudoir, and she would naturally feel shy when talking about marriage, so she said, "It's all up to my parents to decide."

She naturally knew that not every parent would ask their daughter's opinion before arranging a marriage for her.

The reason why her parents were willing to ask her was naturally because they loved her.

Not to mention that she and Li Changyu were childhood sweethearts and had a good relationship. Even if that wasn't the case, the one her parents helped her choose must have been right.

Qin Yunhe heard her say this and guessed whether her daughter was shy or didn't understand his thoughts, so he said, "If it's up to you... Actually, you like Lin Yun more because he has a good personality..."

"do not want!"

Ruyi blurted out the words and saw her father's mischievous smile. Then she reacted and her face turned red.

"Yun'er...I treat him as my younger brother."

Yu Ru and Qin Yun He knew from their daughter's reaction that no matter whether she was shy before or didn't see her own feelings clearly, she really liked Li Changyu in her heart.

Yuru patted her daughter's hand and said with a smile, "Okay, since Yun'er is just a younger brother, then forget it. I think Yu'er is fine."
