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

The couple also drove an ox cart, which seemed to be loaded with two bags of something. They looked happy and seemed to be talking about something.

No matter what they are like or what they do, they will no longer have any connection in this life. Qin Yunhe felt a little better.

Yan Guixiang's parents actually came to extort money.

Their daughter married a wealthy man, and although they received a lot of dowry, how could human nature be easily satisfied?

Their daughter lives in a large mansion in the county town, but they have to stay in the small Shangyan Village. How can they be willing to accept this?

So, taking advantage of the fact that the busy farming season was over, the couple decided to take the opportunity of sending sweet potatoes to their daughter and son-in-law to take a look at their son-in-law's large house.

When the Yan couple arrived at the Jin family, Yan Guixiang was doing her thing in the inner courtyard, dressing herself in front of the mirror.

A few days ago, Jin Biao accidentally saw a jade token of Old Lady Jin that was secretly left behind by Yan Guixiang. The couple had an argument and have not spoken to each other recently.

"Tsk, it's just a jade token, what's so great about it? I'm your legitimate wife, everything in the house is mine."

Yan Guixiang traced her eyebrows, and thought of the scratch she had made on Jin Biao's neck. She felt extremely proud - Tsk, you dare to blame me for bringing bad luck to his mother. His mother couldn't move when I came in, and you can blame her for this.

The maid came to report that Yan's parents had arrived. Yan Guixiang put down her eyebrow pencil and went out to greet them with the maid.

When we arrived at the outer hall, Yan's father and mother were gathered around a white porcelain bottle, discussing whether it was a jade bottle.

"Mom and Dad, why are you here?"

Yan's father and mother turned around and saw their daughter walking towards them, supporting the little maid and holding a handkerchief. They thought their daughter had the demeanor of a lady from a wealthy family.

"The sweet potatoes have been harvested, and your mother and I thought this was a rare commodity, so we came to give you some."

"What's so rare? We don't have anything at home. The farm picked up a lot of good food and sent it to us at the end of the first month. We are tired of eating it these days."

Yan Guixiang then ordered the maid, "Bring tea, and ask the kitchen to serve three bowls of stewed bird's nest."

Yan Guixiang likes bird's nest very much, not because it is delicious, but mainly because it is expensive. I heard that everyone's wife eats it.

So when I have nothing to do, I like to ask the kitchen to stew something.

After a while, the maid had someone bring the bird's nest, and the father and his two daughters each had a bowl.

Mother Yan took a bite and said, "It's not that rich people love to eat this, but this isn't that delicious."

Having said that, Yan's mother still couldn't let it go.

Father Yan took a look at it without moving, and said, "What's so good about this bland soup? Why don't you give me a few pounds of mutton?"

Yan Guixiang smiled and said, "Dad, this is not just for the taste, it's for beauty and longevity."

Father Yan said disdainfully: "What beauty care? I see your complexion is worse than before, it's pale as wax."

Yan Guixiang laughed again: "Dad, I put on some powder. I heard that this powder contains pearl powder."

Yan's father and mother were very surprised.

After sitting for a while and not seeing Jin Biao come out, Yan's mother couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the son-in-law home? Why didn't he come over?"

Yan Guixiang curled her lips and said, "We had a quarrel yesterday and he is not in a good mood today. I guess he is copying scriptures for his mother in the study."

Yan's mother hurriedly asked what was going on, because the servants were all around, and after all, taking the jade token was not a glorious thing, so Yan Guixiang just passed it over vaguely.

Yan Guixiang naturally knew what her parents were thinking, and was happy to let her parents stay.

In her opinion, since she was the wife of the Jin family, she was naturally qualified to let her parents stay.

She ordered the servants to clean up the room, took a look at the bird's nest that her father had not touched, thought it would be a pity to throw it away, and said to the little maid beside her: "This bird's nest is untouched, you can heat it up and drink it."

"No, no, ma'am, I won't drink."

Yan Guixiang looked down upon the little maid's cowering look and said, "Just drink if I tell you to. Look at the maidservants around the old lady before. She would drink whatever she was given. What is there to be afraid of?"

The little maid didn't dare to say anything else and went downstairs with the bird's nest.

In a blink of an eye, it was the first day of October, the day when Li Changyu officially started to learn from his master.

Li Xiao arrived at the Qin family early in the morning with his son and the money he had prepared. As soon as he saw Qin Yunhe, he said, "Mr. Qin, I have brought my son to become your disciple. I have prepared some small gifts. I hope you will not despise me."

Qin Yunhe did not specify how much he wanted as a pension, but the Li family prepared a very generous one.

In addition to the bacon and live fish, six taels of silver were also presented.

Qin Yun was surprised by the overly generous salary, but he knew there was no reason to refuse it, so he had to accept it.

Today, Li Changyu acted like a little adult. After Qin Yunhe accepted the salary, he straightened his clothes and bowed to Qin Yunhe.

Qin Yunhe stood up, helped him tidy up his clothes again, picked up the brush that had been prepared on the desk, dipped it in cinnabar, and gently touched Li Changyu's forehead.

"Dress properly and understand the truth. From today on, you will follow me to learn the teachings of the saints and the way of etiquette. I hope you will work hard, study hard, and make progress."

"Yes, the disciple obeys."

Li Xiao had taught his son the etiquette of paying homage to a teacher long ago. After Qin Yunhe finished speaking, Li Changyu calmly bowed three times to the statue of Confucius hanging behind the desk.

He stood up and bowed three times to Qin Yunhe: "Student Li Changyu greets the teacher. In the future, the student will obey the teacher's orders, study hard, and live up to the teacher's expectations."

Qin Yunhe didn't expect Li Changyu to be so calm at such a young age. He helped Li Changyu up and rubbed his head, feeling very happy.

Qin Yunhe took out a set of three hundred thousand, a copybook and writing brush and ink that he had prepared long ago and gave them to Li Changyu. He couldn't help but praise his little disciple a few more words.

Li Changyu finally became an apprentice and received praise from his teacher. He was very happy and his expression suddenly became cheerful.

The apprenticeship was completed, and according to the process, Qin Yunhe had to lead Li Changyu to start writing.

Li Changyu was still young, so Qin Yunhe held him on his lap, added a little water to the inkstone, picked up the ink stick and began to grind the ink gently.

While grinding the ink, Qin Yunhe explained the techniques of grinding ink, which Yuger found very interesting and fresh.

After grinding the ink, Qin Yunhe placed the brush in Yuger's hand, grabbed his hand, and said, "Teacher will teach you your first character today."

As he spoke, he grabbed Li Changyu's hand and wrote a stroke on the paper, saying, "This is the character for 'people'. 'When people are born, their nature is good'. This is also the first sentence your teacher taught you."

Li Changyu said happily: "I remember, the teacher taught me this sentence before."

Qin Yunhe also remembered that when he went to Li's house to copy books last year, he had taught Li Changyu "Man is inherently good" while playing with him.

At that time, I just wanted to relax after being tired of copying books, but I didn't expect that Yuger would actually become my student. This fate is really wonderful.
