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

Everyone who came was family. Chen Er and next-door Feng Laosan were also close neighbors with whom they had a good relationship. It was a rare occasion for everyone to get together, and everyone was in high spirits. In addition to congratulations, they also told Qin Yunhe to cherish the occasion.

In the side room, the women of the Qin family were eating and talking with Yu Ru.

They have been mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and sisters-in-law for many years and are familiar with each other. After not seeing each other for a year, they have a lot to talk about. They chat about their recent situation and talk about personal matters.

After a long period of excitement, the crowd gradually dispersed. It was getting dark. Lai Di had been playing for a whole day and had been coaxed to sleep by Qin's mother.

Qin Yunhe and Yuru closed the door and were finally able to sit down and have a good talk.

With the help of several sisters-in-law and mother-in-law, all the things that Yu Ru took with her before leaving were put back in their original places.

The small screen in front of the bed, the pen washer, pen holder, paperweight, etc. that have been used on the desk for many years are all placed in familiar positions, as if they had never left.

The two of them looked at the restored room and felt familiar, and their hearts finally settled down.

Qin Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "The little screen is finally back. We no longer have to worry about the wind outside the door rushing in. You don't know that after you left, there was no screen. When I slept in the winter, the wind blew in and I froze to death."

Yu Ru laughed: "So it's the screen you're thinking about. You want me to come back because of the screen."

Qin Yunhe buried his head in Yuru's shoulder and laughed non-stop, saying, "I don't just want a screen, I also want a pen washer, pen holder, paperweight, and inkstone... Big brother is really efficient, there's really nothing left. I've been using those pen washers, pen holders, and paperweights for many years, and it won't be easy for me to write if they're taken away."

Yuru's father and brother were also well-educated and had participated in county and provincial examinations, so they were quite pretentious.

Especially since Qin Yunhe passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at a young age when they were engaged, Yuru's father added a lot of stationery to the dowry he prepared.

Qin Yunhe has always liked the set of stationery prepared for him by his father-in-law. Since they got married, Qin Yunhe has been using the ones brought by Yuru, and he uses them very easily.

Qin Yunhe laughed even harder as he spoke: "I suspect that Big Brother wants me to lose these stationery that I am used to so that I will lose interest in studying and will not be able to make any progress in the imperial examinations."

Yu Ru was amused by him: "Nonsense, if I had known that you were only thinking about the screen pen holder and inkstone, I would never have agreed to come back with you."

Qin Yunhe put his arm around Yuru's waist and rubbed her shoulders, then finally became serious and said softly, "Silly girl, I'm thinking of you when I think of the screen, I'm thinking of you when I think of the brush washer, I'm thinking of you when I think of the pen holder, paperweight, and inkstone..."

The sudden love words were like a drumstick gently hitting Yuru's heart. Her face was steaming and her heart began to pound.

Qin Yunhe took the opportunity to bury his head in Yu Ru's shoulder, turned his head and gently kissed his wife on the cheek.

The heat on Yu Ru's face increased a little more, and she wanted to be reserved but didn't want to push him away.

Qin Yunhe gently kissed his wife's chin again.

The pounding in Yu Ru's heart was getting stronger and stronger, and she hesitated whether to take the initiative to move her lips closer.

Qin Yunhe did not hesitate. After kissing her chin, he put his lips to Yuru's and kissed her softly and delicately. He moved his hand on Yuru's waist to the back of her head and supported her, then gently put her on the bed.

The kiss gradually deepened, full of tenderness.

One year, he thought about it for too long...

The next morning, the couple was awakened by their daughter's crying.

Last night, Qin's mother left her granddaughter in her room to rest. Lai Di did not wake up that night, but unexpectedly she woke up at the beginning of the morning.

Lai Di always slept with Yu Ru. When she found herself in an unfamiliar place and her mother was not around, she immediately started crying loudly and asked for her mother.

Yu Ru quickly got up, put on her clothes and went to the main room to coax her daughter. Qin Yun He followed suit and also got dressed and rushed over.

The couple held their daughter in their arms and tried to comfort her: "Di'er, don't cry, don't cry, oh, don't cry..."

In fact, Qin's mother had already woken up. When she saw Yuru coming over, she said, "She slept well all night and didn't wake up at all. She was very well behaved. You look after her. I'll go cook first."

Yu Ru wanted to say that she would go cook, but her daughter kept crying and hugged her tightly, so she had to give up.

The smoke from the cooking stove rose up, the courtyard became lively, and the fragrance of porridge and rice was the same as before.

Although he had no plan to open a school, because he had promised to accept Li Changyu as his disciple, Qin Yunhe planned to clean up the east wing where his father used to teach children.

The statue of Confucius, the desk and all the teaching utensils are there.

A few days later, the Li family sent someone to ask Qin Yun about all matters related to his apprenticeship, and decided to hold the apprenticeship ceremony on October 1st.

In addition to cleaning up the classroom, you also have to report to the teacher.

Early in the morning of that day, Qin Yunhe packed up the vegetable dumplings he was going to bring to his teacher, got on the ox cart and set off.

The last time he went to check the list, he told his teacher about him and Yu Ru in advance. The teacher was very supportive after knowing it and repeatedly told him that since they are husband and wife, he should cherish their relationship.

It has been almost a month since that day that the teacher and student have not seen each other, and they miss each other a little.

Mr. Gu was even happier when he saw that his disciple brought vegetable dumplings this time.

The teacher and the student chatted for a long time. Qin Yunhe told his teacher about the process of bringing his wife back and reported that he wanted to accept a disciple.

Mr. Gu was a little surprised by this. After all, Qin Yunhe had just passed his New Year's exam and would have to take part in the imperial examination later. It was obvious that he wanted to take the imperial examination to enter the official career, so he probably didn't have time to teach.

Another thing is that in his opinion, Qin Yunhe was still a little young. In terms of experience and knowledge, it was not yet time for him to accept disciples.

Even though he got the first place in the exam, he is still very young and it seems unlikely that anyone will immediately ask him to be their disciple.

But when Mr. Gu heard Qin Yunhe mention that they were the people who asked him to write the epitaph last time, he understood.

Last time he asked the unknown Qin Yunhe to write the inscription, and this time he took advantage of Qin Yunhe's first place in the case to ask to be his disciple, obviously wanting to make friends.

This was not a bad thing for Qin Yunhe, and Mr. Gu was naturally happy to see it happen. He just repeatedly reminded him that since he had decided to accept students, he should be dedicated.

Teachers should not only teach knowledge but also morality, guide students step by step and teach them according to their aptitude.

Qin Yunhe listened to the teacher's instructions respectfully and agreed repeatedly. He immediately became more serious about teaching, fearing that he would mislead the students.

Mr. Gu took into consideration that Qin Yunhe needed time to teach Li Changyu, and it might be inconvenient for him to come home to prepare for the exam before the New Year. So the teacher and student agreed to come here to review their lessons after the New Year.

After lunch, Qin Yunhe said goodbye to the teacher and prepared to go home.

Qin Yunhe got on a ox cart and headed home, but unexpectedly he saw a familiar figure outside the city, which made him feel as if he were in another world.

No, it was indeed a different world. They were actually Yan Guixiang’s parents.

Qin Yunhe had only one evaluation of them: vulgar and mercenary.
