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

After resting for two days, Qin Yunhe asked Zhuzi to go to the county town to send an invitation to Feng Zhuo. He heard that he would not be back until next month.

In that case, all we can do is wait.

When Qin Yunhe had nothing to do, he went to the clinic run by Chen Er and Yun Niang in the town.

The clinic is not big, with only one doctor, Yunniang, in charge. Most of the people who come to see her are the women in their family.

In the past, women were sometimes unwilling or unable to see a doctor when they were sick, but now it is much more convenient.

In addition, Chen Er has a skill in treating dislocations, and Yunniang taught him some bone injury treatments and simple prescriptions, so their clinic's business is pretty good.

Behind the clinic is the inner courtyard. Nowadays, Chen Er and his family live in the inner courtyard most of the time, which also makes it convenient for Chen Kang to go to school.

Even though Qin Yunhe tried to keep a low profile during his return home this time, the Qin family is now a large family, and the momentum on the way back home is still quite large, so many people in the county knew that he was returning home to visit relatives, and within a few days, people began to come to ask for a meeting.

Many people sent visiting cards, invitations, or directly asked for introductions.

Some of these people simply admired the emperor and wanted to make friends, ask for advice, or talk to the court officials in Beijing about their own ambitions and suggestions.

Some people also wanted to become his disciple or seek refuge, and asked him to take them in.

Qin Yunhe only accepted some invitations and attended a few social events from people he had some friendship with in the past or from famous gentry in the countryside.

Those who were unable to make friends with Qin Yunhe would try to find Chen Er and Zhuzi. One of them was Qin Yunhe's childhood friend, and the other was his close follower, and both of them were people who could talk to Qin Yunhe.

Qin Yunhe had been very busy for a few days. One day, when he came back from a social event, he walked to the door of the study and heard voices inside. He stopped in his tracks.

"......These two sentences are very clever and brilliant." It was Li Changyu's voice: "But there is a hint of sadness, fearing that it will hurt the blessings..."

Ruyi seemed to smile and said, "It's just two lines of poetry, but a sigh at that time, it doesn't hurt the blessings."

Li Changyu quickly said, "Yes, it's just two lines of poetry. Ruyi will surely bring you long-lasting blessings."

Qin Yunhe's heart suddenly moved, and he stood outside the door and continued to eavesdrop on the conversation between the two.

".....Try this cold cake. I think it tastes cool and refreshing in the summer, so I bought it for you to try. I heard that the lady who made the cake is from another place, and this way of eating it is very special."

Ruyi seemed to smile again.

Qin Yunhe coughed lightly and walked into the study.

Li Changyu was standing by the tea table. Seeing Qin Yunhe coming in, he was a little flustered. He bowed and said, "Teacher, you're back."

Ruyi was sitting at the tea table eating something with a plate in her hand. When she saw him come in, she stood up and called out "Dad".

Qin Yunhe glanced at the plate in Ruyi's hand and asked with a smile, "What are you eating?"

"The cold cakes that Brother Zaiming brought are delicious."

Li Changyu opened the food box on the side and took out another dish: "I ate it by chance and thought it tasted good, so I brought it here specially for you, Master and Master's wife to try."

Qin Yunhe glanced at the plate in his daughter's hand and said jokingly, "This is what my student brought to me and your mother. How come it's in your hand?"

Li Changyu said hurriedly, "There are more. Sir, Master's Wife, Sister Ruyi and two junior brothers, all are there."

Ruyi raised her eyebrows complacently and took another bite of the cold cake.

Qin Yunhe smiled and sat down, then raised his hand to ask the two children to sit down as well, and asked his daughter, "Where is your mother?"

"I went to Uncle Chen's place to look for Aunt Yun. He said he had something to give her."

Li Changyu passed the plate of cold cakes to Qin Yunhe and said, "Teacher just came back from outside, so you must be feeling hot. Eat some cold cakes to cool down. There is ice in the lunch box, so it will be just the right amount."

Qin Yunhe took it and said, "You can have one too."

Li Changyu quickly waved his hand: "No, teacher, go ahead and eat. I've already eaten."

"What's Changyu doing here today?"

"One of the students wanted to give the teacher some cold cakes to try, and the other wanted to ask the teacher for advice.

The teacher finally came back, but he will have to go back to Beijing in a few months. The students are afraid that they will not be able to receive the teacher's guidance for a long time in the future. "

Qin Yunhe thought about it and it was true. It was not easy for him to come back. If he didn't take the opportunity to teach his students a few lessons, he would be ashamed of his students' calling him a teacher.

Qin Yunhe nodded: "I was too busy a few days ago and didn't pay attention to it. I should be busy these two days. How about this, you come to the teacher every three days to get your homework, and return it to the teacher after three days. I will correct and guide you, how about that?"

Li Changyu hurriedly said, "Disciple obeys the order, thank you for your hard work, teacher."

"What do you want to ask today? What homework did you bring?"

"...I still have some questions about the article that the teacher taught me last time..."

Qin Yunhe raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Any other questions?"

Not much. When the teacher raised his eyebrows, Li Changyu actually felt a little at a loss. He was speechless for a long time before he could find two questions.

Qin Yunhe felt amused. Could it be that he didn't want to ask for advice at all?

After agreeing on the daily tasks with Li Changyu, Qin Yunhe asked someone to go to the town to find Fan Honglai and asked him to come to him every three days to receive his tasks, just like Li Changyu.

From that day on, Li Changyu and Fan Hong came to Qin Yunhe's place regularly to listen to his teachings, just like they did when they were children.

Although Li Changyu and Fan Hong have grown up, Qin Yunhe is still like when they were little. In addition to teaching them, he also occasionally takes them, Qin Zheng and Qin Ci out to play.

Either fishing by the river, or picking grass in the fields, or wandering around when I have nothing to do.

Li Changyu hadn't seen his teacher for several years, and he cherished the rare time together. Whenever he was free, he would come to see his teacher. Usually, he was still like when he was a child, and he would always think of sending some delicious food and fun things to Qin Yunhe.

Until one day, Li Changyu sent another sunbird, which was exactly the same as the one he had given to Ruyi before.

When Qin Yunhe saw his daughter playing with the birds when she had nothing to do, the idea in his mind started to move again.

The previous embroidered eye died a few years ago. If Li Changyu hadn't sent another one, Qin Yunhe would have almost forgotten about the bird.

In the evening, Qin Yunhe couldn't help but talk about it with Yuru again.

"......Do you think Changyu is interested in Ruyi?"

Yu Ru smiled and said, "It's just a bird, what's the point? I think Yu Ge'er has always treated Ru Yi as his sister since he was a child."

Qin Yunhe still couldn't let it go. After a long while, he said, "I don't think so..."

Yuru laughed again: "Why are you so determined to do this?"

"I'm not..." Qin Yunhe sighed, "I want my daughter to marry a man of her dreams."

When I read Six Records of a Floating Life, Shen Fu lamented that Yunniang's poems were witty and elegant, but he was afraid that she would not bring much blessings. I thought, how could it be that she would not bring much blessings with just two lines of poetry? Such an unlucky statement.

Unfortunately, Yun did have a rough life later on. I don’t know if it was foreshadowed by the poem or if it was just the old saying that if you don’t have deep blessings, you will be unlucky…

However, both of them are god-like figures, and perhaps their words are always omens.

But our Ruyi and Yuge'er will surely be happy and blessed with long-lasting life.
