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

Fan Zheng hadn't expected Qin Yunhe to do well in the exam. He had seen how he had performed over the past few years.

But my sister has chosen him, and I can only hope that Qin Yunhe can be more motivated and not spend all his time fooling around with his knowledge of neither literature nor martial arts. It is my sister who is upset.

But I didn't expect that after this divorce incident, he actually made progress.

Thinking about what he had done and said since the divorce, I couldn't help but feel a little more looking forward to this brother-in-law.

"Brother, now that the college entrance examination is over, do you think it's okay for me to take Yu Ru back home?"

Both of them knew the answer, but they still had to ask.

Fan Zheng deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "Are you planning to take Yu Ru back like this?"

Even though he finally agreed, Qin Yunhe was relieved and his attitude became even more submissive: "Of course not, I plan to pick a good day and hire a sedan chair to take Yu Ru back."

Fan Zheng nodded in satisfaction after hearing this answer: "Well, OK."

Now that it was confirmed, Qin Yunhe told his mother and brother and sister-in-law, and discussed choosing a good day to pick up Yuru.

When his mother heard that they had to hire a sedan chair to pick him up, she became unhappy again.

"It's not that far, why did you take Joe? That's a waste of money."

Qin Yunhe quickly explained: "I was the one who insisted on hiring a sedan chair to pick her up, and Yuru also said there was no need to waste money."

"Then why do you have to spend this money?"

"After all, it was me who proposed the divorce, so at least we should hire a sedan chair to bring her back, to show our sincerity. Besides, everyone knows that we are divorced, so we can't just come back quietly, right?"

Lianhua also advised, "Yes, mother, hiring a sedan chair will not only show our sincerity, but also let everyone know that they have reconciled. If the Fan family has face, won't our family also have face?"

Mother Qin's expression relaxed a little, and Lianhua continued, "Besides, if it weren't for this, would Awen have known that he would win the first place in the case? If I were to ask me, if Awen won the first place in the case, he would definitely have money for food and clothing, wouldn't it be more than enough to hire a sedan chair?

Our family won the first prize and got our daughter-in-law back, which is a double blessing."

"I haven't seen the money for the stipend yet, but I've spent it first." Mother Qin still grumbled, but she also felt that what Lianhua said made sense, so she said nothing more.

The family looked at the almanac and found that September 16th and September 26th were both auspicious days.

To show seriousness, Qin Chong, as the eldest brother, took Qin Yunhe with him to formally discuss the specific time with Fan Zheng.

Finally, everyone agreed that September 26th was a good day, so they decided to let Yu Ru go back on that day. The next step was to prepare the sedan chair and wait for the day.

After a few days, the news that Qin Yunhe passed the imperial examination and ranked first again gradually spread. People couldn't help but sigh that the Qin family was really good at taking the imperial examination.

Some people who are close to me will come to my house specially to congratulate me, and some people who are not so close will also congratulate me when they meet me.

Many people who had made fun of Qin Yunhe in person or behind his back couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but they also expressed their congratulations when they met him.

During this period, some people started to propose marriage to Qin Yunhe, and even Dongyue's mother mentioned it tactfully. Of course, Qin's mother rejected it and told the people that her wife was coming back soon. Only then did everyone calm down.

One day, Qin Yunhe was studying at home when he heard someone visiting outside.

"Awen, come out quickly, someone is looking for you."

Hearing Qin's mother calling Qin Yunhe to hurry out of the house, a small figure ran over and looked up and shouted, "Copier! Uncle Qin!"

Qin Yun was surprised. It turned out to be Yuger and his father Li Xiao, with Manager Li standing behind them.

"Call me sir." Li Xiao patted his son's head gently and reminded him.

Yu Ge obediently changed his words: "Sir, I haven't seen you for a long time. I heard that you passed the exam. Congratulations."

Qin Yunhe quickly invited Li Xiao and others into the house.

"Why is Mr. Li here? Is there any problem with the inscription last time?"

Li Xiao said: "No, no, Mr. Qin wrote very well, and the elders in the clan are very satisfied. This time I came to congratulate Mr. Qin on winning the first place."

Although they had met several times before, it was still quite surprising that Li Xiao came in person to congratulate him.

"I didn't expect that Master Li had also heard about it. It was just luck. Master Li took the trouble."

Li Xiao smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, you don't have to be polite. I am a commoner, so how can I be worthy of the title of master? If you don't mind, I am a few years older than you. You can just call me Brother Li."

Qin Yunhe readily followed suit and immediately changed his address to "Brother Li".

"I also learned about it by chance. My family has always hoped that one of our sons could pursue a career in government, so this time we asked my third brother to take part in the annual examination, but he failed to make the list. When the steward went to check the list, he saw that the top candidate this year was Mr. Qin.

I guess we have some kind of fate, so I came to congratulate you."

Qin Yunhe thanked him again.

The two exchanged a few polite words, and Li Xiao continued, "Actually, I have a request for you this time. My son Changyu is five years old now, and my family is looking for a suitable teacher to teach him. Mr. Qin is very talented, and I wonder if he is willing to take my son in and teach him."

Qin Yunhe was a little embarrassed: "This... Yu Ge'er is smart and clever, so I am willing to accept him. However, I still have to take the imperial examinations, so I am afraid I don't have much time to teach. If I accept Yu Ge'er, I will be misleading the students."

"Besides, I have no teaching experience, and I'm afraid of delaying Brother Yu."

Li Xiao said, "Ah, Mr. Qin is too modest. With Mr. Qin's talent and knowledge, teaching a little kid shouldn't be a piece of cake. Besides, I admire Mr. Qin's tenacity and rigorousness in his studies.

Even if Mr. Qin doesn’t have much time to teach, my child will benefit from learning a little bit of his tenacity and rigor for the rest of his life.”

When Qin Yunhe heard about the tenacious character, he thought he had heard it wrong. The word tenacious would actually be used to describe himself one day.

I guess Li Xiao meant that he could humble himself and go to his house to pound rice, and also endure the ridicule of the villagers to take part in the college entrance examination.

However, if my past self really couldn't do these things, I would still deserve the word "tenacious".

Seeing Qin Yunhe was silent, Li Xiao continued, "The most important thing is that Changyu really likes you and asks about you from time to time. He was very happy to hear that you passed the imperial examination. I see that you and he get along very well. In this case, why not add a teacher-student relationship?"

As he spoke, Li Xiao gently pushed his son: "Brother Yu."

Yu Ge'er ran over and hugged Qin Yunhe's hand: "Sir, can you be my teacher?"

Ever since his elder brother Qin Chong told him about the Li family’s ideas last time, Qin Yunhe has understood it much more clearly.

In fact, the Li family wanted to make friends with him, and for him, being able to make friends with the Li family was naturally a good thing.

In particular, he really likes Yu Ge'er.

After thinking about it for a while, he nodded and said, "Okay, then I will respectfully obey your command."
