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

Qin Yunhe had never taken his daughter out to play, so when he heard Qin Jirui say that she wanted to take her two nephews to see the peddler, he naturally agreed to go with them.

Qin An and Qin Fei had already run out, and Qin Yunhe followed closely behind, holding his daughter and cousin.

Qin Jirui pulled down Lai Di's sleeves to completely cover her hands, and asked knowingly, "Did you go to see your sister-in-law?"

"Yes."

"Sister-in-law is relieved that she actually asked you to bring Di out."

Qin Yunhe said speechlessly: "Qin Jirui, I am your brother..."

"Yes, yes, you are my brother. If you didn't go to my brother, I would have secretly gone to find Sister Yuru and told her not to bother with you, let alone ask you to bring Lai Di out."

Qin Yunhe: ...

As the brother and sister were talking, Lai Di in his arms suddenly reached forward excitedly.

Qin Yunhe and Qin Jirui then looked up and saw a peddler's pole with a wide variety of goods not far ahead, surrounded by a number of old people and children.

Qin An and Qin Fei, two little guys, squeezed between the legs of a group of adults, leaning on the edge of the cargo carrying pole, looking at the objects on it with curiosity.

"An'er Fei'er, be careful!"

Qin Yunhe and Qin Jirui were afraid that their two nephews would be bumped into or stepped on by the adults, so they hurriedly followed.

As the two got closer, the things on the cart came into view. Lai Di became even more excited and reached out to grab the kite hanging on it.

Qin Yunhe saw that his daughter liked it, so he took it off and gave it to her: "How much is this kite?"

This peddler had been to Fengle Village more than once. He knew Qin Yunhe and hurriedly raised his hand and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Qin, this kite costs thirty-five cents."

"Thirty-five cents?" Qin Jirui looked at the kite, which was not very well made and had an ordinary style, with disdain: "Who would spend thirty-five cents to buy such a kite..."

"I want this kite. Can you help me get the spool?"

Qin Yunhe started to take out money as he spoke.

Qin Jirui: ...

"Brother, this kite is not worth thirty-five cents. You can buy it for twenty cents at most in any town."

"It's rare that Lai Di likes it..."

There is no need to be a sucker just to pamper your daughter.

"Boss, will you sell this kite for twenty cents?" Qin Jirui was speechless at her cousin who didn't know prices and was too embarrassed to bargain, so she could only bargain herself.

"Miss Qin, we are just a small business, how can we make any money with twenty cents..." Seeing that Qin Yunhe had already paid, how could the peddler be willing to lower the price any further.

Qin Yunhe, who was originally prepared to pay for his daughter's happiness, was a little hesitant about whether to pay the money or not.

Kites are not everyday items and he really didn't know the price.

Qin Jirui pointed at Qin An and Qin Fei who were standing next to the peddler's shoulder pole and said, "Look, these are my two nephews. We're not just buying one kite, we'll buy other things later. Why don't you give them a discount?"

People from the same village were all around, so they joined in.

The peddler came to the village several times a year, hoping to become a regular customer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you twenty cents as compensation. Just come more often in the future."

The villagers all knew his tricks and laughed and teased him, obviously not believing that he would lose money.

Qin An and Qin Fei picked out a bunch of small gadgets, and Qin Yunhe also chose a tumbler and a windmill for his daughter.

I had almost finished choosing and was about to pay when I heard Chen Er's voice approaching from afar: "Awen! Awen!"

When Qin Yunhe turned around, Chen Er had already run to the cargo pole and panted, "Go back quickly. Manager Li from Lijiaping is here to see you."

"Manager Li is looking for me?" Qin Yunhe was confused: "But did you tell me what you want to talk to me about?"

Chen Er shook his head: "No, you can't tell me even if someone comes to you."

"Okay, I'll go back right away."

As he said this, he urged the peddler to calculate the price.

The peddler was naturally happy to see that they had chosen a lot of things, and he counted them one by one: "The tumbler is five cents each, a total of two, the windmill is three cents, the spinning top is three cents..."

The peddler first counted the small items, and finally pointed at the kite and said, "Twenty cents for a kite..."

"Eh? Didn't you get fifteen cents for flying a kite in Beiying Village the day before yesterday?" Chen Er suddenly interrupted him when he heard him counting the money.

The peddler hurriedly said, "What fifteen cents? Twenty cents? I'll pay for them all."

Not many people buy kites on weekdays, and the peddler didn't expect that anyone had seen him selling kites in other villages.

Chen Er also insisted: "Of course not. The day before yesterday, I went to Beiying Village and I happened to see you selling kites to someone. That was the only person buying things at that time. I won't remember it wrong."

The peddler was speechless, and the villagers began to make a noise, saying that he was cheating the people of Fengle Village.

The peddler was annoyed and said, "Fifteen cents is fine."

When a few people left, the peddler still looked depressed.

"Brother, you are such a spendthrift. If it weren't for me and Brother Chen, how much money would you have to pay?"

Qin Yunhe was also a little embarrassed. He didn't expect the difference could be so big. He never bargained for anything he bought. He always took whatever others said.

"We are not a wealthy family, we can't afford you to spend money like this."

Qin Yunhe felt a little ashamed to be taught a lesson by his own sister. He smiled and said, "It's not easy for me to run a small business..."

Qin Jirui became even more angry. She glared at her brother and turned away without paying any attention to him.

But the two little nephews also laughed and imitated their aunt's words: "Throw money, hehe..."

Lai Di also laughed happily.

Chen Erze laughed out loud several times.

Since they were not far from home, they returned home quickly.

On the way, Qin Yunhe had already asked Chen Er. It turned out that Chen Er had just come back from outside and met Manager Li who was asking for directions in the village, so he took Manager Li to Qin Yunhe's house.

When Qin's mother heard that it was the manager of Lijiaping who wanted to see her son about something, she quickly asked Chen Er to go find Qin Yunhe.

When Qin Yunhe entered the room, Qin's mother was sitting in the main room with Manager Li.

He was holding his daughter and it was inconvenient to bow, so he bowed and said, "Manager Li, I've been waiting for a long time."

Manager Li also bowed.

Qin Yunhe sat down and asked, "I wonder what can I do for you, Manager Li?"

"It's like this. Last year, my uncle took over as the head of the Li family and he intended to rebuild the ancestral hall. The head of the family hoped that a monument could be erected during the reconstruction of the ancestral hall to commemorate the family's achievements over the years."

"My uncle admires your talent very much, and he is full of praise for your handwriting, so he hopes that you can write this inscription for him."

"Of course, we will also offer you some money to help you write..."

Qin Yunhe didn't expect this to happen.

He originally thought that Li Xiao's praise was just politeness, but he didn't expect it to be sincere appreciation.

"Of course I am willing to serve, but..." Qin Yunhe hesitated, "I have never written an inscription before, and I am afraid I am not qualified for the job."

"My dear, there is no need to be so modest. Since my master has asked you to write, he naturally believes that you can write well."

Qin Yunhe pondered for a moment and said, "I wonder when I will need the inscription? I will be going to my teacher's house in a few days..."

"Teacher's home?" Manager Li asked, "Could it be Mr. Gu's home?"

"Does Steward Li know my teacher?"

"Haha, everyone in our county knows Mr. Gu. His disciples are all talented people, so Mr. Qin is not bad either!"

In fact, what Qin Yunhe originally wanted to ask was how Manager Li knew that his teacher was Mr. Gu, but after hearing what he said, and thinking that the teacher was well-known, it would not be surprising for others to hear about their teacher-student relationship.

In fact, maybe he knew that he was Mr. Gu's student and that's why he thought of entrusting this task to himself.

"My master has decided to start the repairs before the end of the month, so it will take at least a month. Mr. Qin can take his time to figure it out, what do you think?"

Although Manager Li asked this, his tone was very firm, and it seemed that he was sure that Qin Yunhe would agree.

Qin Yunhe naturally wanted it. Although he had never written an inscription, he thought it would be no problem as the writing was logical.

If you really don't know how to do it, you can ask the teacher for help at any time. One month is more than enough.

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."
