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

Qin Yunhe returned home with his two children, and Yuru was talking to Yunniang in the main hall.

Qin Yunhe nodded: "Yunniang is here."

Yunniang also stood up and bowed, saying with a smile: "It was only when Yuru returned to town today that Chen Er and I knew that you, my lord, were back."

"Is Chen Erke back? Is he still in the clinic?"

Yunniang laughed again: "Now that the master is back, how can Chen Er stay in the clinic? He has also returned to the village, waiting for the master to come back from the county town."

"Haha, I miss him a little too. I'll go find him right away."

Yu Ru asked her brothers to testify that they had met Yun Niang, but she didn't expect that both children still remembered Yun Niang.

"Aunt, is Brother Kang home?"

"Here he is. Kang'er took a leave and is back too."

Qin Ci cheered and ran out, pulling her brother.

Qin Yunhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He hadn't seen his father for a year, and he didn't recognize them. He hadn't seen Yunniang and Chen Kang for more than a year, but he remembered them.

Chen Er was holding his little daughter in the yard and teaching her to identify medicinal herbs when he heard footsteps outside. Soon two little men rushed in one after another.

"Brother Kang——"

"Evidence, testimony? Are you back?"

Qin Zheng bowed politely and said, "Zheng'er greets Uncle Chen."

Qin Ci also perfunctorily followed his brother's bow and said, "Where is Uncle Chen Kang? We're here to play with him."

Qin Yunhe followed the two children into the room and saw Chen Er at first sight.

Just by looking at Chen Er's clothes and fabrics, you can tell that their lives are much better now.

In the past few years, Chen Er and his wife have been growing medicinal herbs and running a clinic. Their life is prosperous. They have a little daughter now and are now well-off.

It was the first time that Qin Yunhe had seen Chen Er's newly built courtyard. In addition to the three main rooms, left and right side rooms, there were also east and west wing rooms.

The yard was tidy, with some unknown medicinal herbs and a pomegranate tree planted in it.

Chen Er came over holding his little daughter, and said with a smile: "Ah Wen, you seem to be... a little darker."

"I got a little tanned."

It's not just one person who said it.

The two hadn't seen each other for several years, and both felt a little emotional and excited.

Chen Kang had already heard the noise outside and pushed the door open.

Chen Er hurriedly called Chen Kang: "Kang'er, come and meet Uncle Qin. That set of study that you have is a gift from Uncle Qin."

Chen Kang quickly bowed and greeted him: "Hello, Uncle Qin, thank you for the stationery."

Qin Ci ran over happily: "Brother Kang!"

Chen Kang also laughed: "Brother Zheng, Brother Ci, you are back."

"Yes! Brother Kang, I also go to school and I have a teacher..."

Qin Yunhe couldn't help but smile when he saw the two people chatting enthusiastically, and then looked at the child in Chen Er's arms: "This is Qingdai, right?"

Qingdai is the youngest daughter of Chen Er and Yunniang.

"Yes. Qingdai, come and call uncle."

Qin Yunhe laughed: "He's only a little over one year old, can he speak?"

"A little bit."

Chen Er smiled and asked Qin Yunhe to sit under the shade of the tree in the yard.

"Is the clinic guarded by someone? I was planning to go to town to find you right after I got back from my teacher's visit, and also take a look at your clinic."

"There's a young man guarding it. We haven't been back to the village for a long time, so it's a good opportunity for us to come back and take a look at the medicinal fields. It's time to turn the sweet potato seedlings, so I plan to hire a few temporary workers to turn them over in the next few days."

Now Chen Er also has twenty or thirty acres of land and runs a clinic, so he naturally doesn't have much time to take care of the land.

"Mr. Feng helped you buy new land. I discussed with Brother Chong to plant some sorghum and rice. I also had people plant medicinal herbs on the dozens of acres of land you originally had."

Now Chen Er and his wife have become familiar with the pharmacy.

The medicinal herbs they grew were of good quality, and Chen's Pharmacy was able to accept them, so they helped Qin Yunhe grow some as well.

"I've troubled you to take care of the family these past few years. Just pick the seeds that are easier to grow on those fields."

Chen Er laughed: "Why bother? Now that I don't have to go to the fields myself, of course I can plant whatever is suitable."

"…Have you met Mr. Feng today? The land he bought for you is really good. It's all top-quality land, and the price is fair."

Qin Yunhe was also very grateful to Feng Zhuo for this.

"I haven't seen him yet. I only went to visit the teacher today. I don't know if Brother Feng is at home now. Fortunately, I will stay at home for three months this time, which is enough time."

"Finally I can stay a little longer this time. When you have a rest and are almost done with the work, I will take you to see the land."

As the two talked, it was getting late without them noticing.

The next day, Qin Yunhe sent someone to Lijiaping to find Li Changyu.

Li Changyu also knew that the teacher was about to come back, but he didn't know the exact time. When he heard the teacher sending someone to invite him, he hurried over.

"Student Changyu greets you, sir."

Li Changyu lifted his skirt and bowed, performing a solemn salute.

Qin Yunhe helped the student up and let him sit down.

Li Changyu is now a big boy. He has grown taller and lost a lot of his childishness.

"Teacher, when did you get home?"

"I arrived the afternoon before yesterday. I didn't ask you to come yesterday because I had to go to the county town to pay a visit to your master."

"Is Master in good health?"

Qin Yunhe thought about his teacher's condition. Although he felt uncomfortable, he still said, "Your master is doing well."

……

The teacher and the student were talking when Yu Ru came back from outside.

"Brother Yu is here?"

Li Changyu quickly stood up and greeted his master's wife.

"Hurry up and sit down and talk to your husband. The mistress will ask the kitchen to make two more dishes you like, and you can eat at home at noon."

……

The teacher and student inevitably mentioned last year's college entrance examination.

"…I am ashamed that I failed the college entrance examination last year."

Qin Yunhe patted his disciple and comforted him, "It's okay. How can so many people pass the exam in one try? It's also my fault that I didn't have time to guide you in the past few years."

Since he has accepted a student, he should teach him carefully. Unfortunately, he is far away in the capital and has no time in the past few years.

Qin Yunhe felt a little guilty about this.

"How can I blame the teacher? The teacher taught me everything I should have learned, but I am just a dull student who didn't know how to do it."

Qin Yunhe patted Li Changyu on the shoulder and said, "What are you talking about? My students are not stupid. You are only sixteen years old, and you still have plenty of time to work hard.

If I continue to practice for a few more years, I will definitely make progress. Wouldn't it be better if I could pass the provincial examination in one go?"

Li Changyu brought his daily strategies and poems to Qin Yunhe for guidance.

In fact, Li Changyu's current strategies are already very organized, but the writing is a little immature.

Qin Yunhe hesitated in his heart, wondering whether he should take Li Changyu to the capital to teach him at any time. However, his official residence was too small and he was busy on weekdays, so he was afraid that he would not have much time to teach him.

"Are you studying at home now?"

Now the teacher of the Li family's private school probably can no longer teach Li Changyu anything.

"Yes, I study at home now, and sometimes I...I..."

Qin Yunhe lowered his head to look at the article in his hand, and heard his disciple suddenly hesitate and speak in a hesitant tone. He looked up and saw him looking out the door.

Qin Yunhe turned around and found his daughter standing outside the door.
