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

A few days ago, someone from the county finally delivered a letter, announcing that Feng Zhuo had returned.

Qin Yunhe quickly set a date with others and agreed to meet at Qingyun Tower in the county.

After not seeing each other for a few years, Feng Zhuo's face showed some signs of aging, and with the addition of a drooping beard, he looked quite elegant and refined.

Qin Yunhe bowed and said, "Brother Chaofan, long time no see. How are you?"

Feng Zhuo also bowed in return: "Haha, I hope you are well. Yunhe must be well too?"

The two of them sat down together.

"Now that you are both in the capital, and I am wandering around, it is not easy to see you. I was planning to visit you and Brother Lin in the capital early next year, but I didn't expect you to go back to your hometown to visit your relatives first."

"That's fine. You can go next year and I'll host you in the capital. I heard Chaofan went to visit the ancient Donghezhou? I wonder how he went?"

"Haha, that's right. The people there are open-minded and have unique customs. They are very different from those in the north. It's really an eye-opener."

Feng Zhuo talked incessantly about his experiences during his visit to the ancient Donghe Prefecture, and Qin Yunhe was amazed again and again.

Speaking of the piece of land that Feng Zhuo helped to buy, Feng Zhuo smiled and said, "You are lucky. It just so happened that there was a prodigal son whose parents were gone and he was not doing his job properly and it was difficult for him to run the business, so he wanted to sell the family land.

But I didn’t bargain too hard, and he was quite grateful.”

I didn't expect there was this section. If Feng Zhuo hadn't helped, Qin Yunhe would probably not have had such good luck.

Naturally, the two of them couldn't help but talk about the situation of Qin Yunhe and others in the capital.

Feng Zhuo was deeply moved when he learned that He Wenshuang was now receiving a fourth-rank salary.

It was also mentioned that Qin Yunhe had been away on an inspection tour for a year and had only returned a few months ago.

Regarding the cases of cheating in imperial examinations that they encountered during their inspection tours, they were not people who were overly proud of their backgrounds, and they could not help but feel sorry for those talented people who were unable to take the imperial examinations because of their backgrounds.

The two had a pleasant conversation and ended the gathering at 3 p.m., feeling unsatisfied.

On the second day, Li Changyu came to the teacher again as agreed, and Fan Hong also came as promised.

Qin Yunhe happened to be out for a while because of something, so Li Changyu and Fan Hong were talking in the study while waiting for Qin Yunhe to come back.

"I heard that you went to your cousin's wedding a few days ago?"

Fan Hongqi asked, "You know all this? Did Ruyi tell you?"

"No way." Li Changyu was a little worried. It had been a long time since he last saw Ruyi.

"That's what the teacher said. Ruyi is also there?"

For some reason, Li Changyu felt a little nervous when asked this question.

"Haha, not only did she go, Ruyi even wrote a poem for the groom."

"A poem about the fan? What kind of poem about the fan?"

Ruyi even wrote a poem to ward off the fan, and Li Changyu's heart was pounding.

Fan Hong recalled and recited: "Don't use the round fan to cover your fragrant cheeks, for whom do you come to wear your red dress on this wedding day? If the marriage was made in the previous life, why would you need a top scholar as the groom?"

"If the marriage was made in the previous life..." Li Changyu murmured and repeated, "Why would we need the groom to be the top scholar?"

Li Changyu's face was a little hot, and he was afraid that Fan Hong would find something unusual, so he quickly said: "Why do you want people to write poems about the fan when you get married now?"

"It's just a joke. Someone just wants to tease my brother."

Seeing that Li Changyu was interested, Fan Hong started talking about the funny things that happened during the quarrel in the room.

Li Changyu responded to Fan Hong in a nonsensical way, thinking, "If the marriage was made in the previous life, why would we need a top scholar as the groom..."

"The alliance was made in the previous life... The alliance..."

Qin Yunhe came back from outside and saw Fan Hong talking with great joy.

Fan Hong was usually calm and composed, but he rarely looked so cheerful. Qin Yunhe couldn't help but laugh and asked, "What are you talking about? You look so happy?"

When Fan Hong and Li Changyu saw him coming in, they hurriedly bowed and saluted. Then Fan Hong said a little embarrassedly: "I was just telling Changyu about the interesting things that happened at my cousin's wedding a few days ago. And the poem about the fan written by Ruyi."

Qin Yunhe said nonchalantly: "Haha, it's just a boudoir play, but it makes others laugh."

"No, I think it's great."

Li Changyu blurted out what he had said before realizing it. He suddenly felt embarrassed and his face turned red.

Qin Yunhe raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Then Changyu, tell me what's good about it?"

"Well...now..."

Li Changyu was speechless.

Qin Yunhe didn't want to see him too embarrassed, so he smiled and said, "You are just a girl who has studied for a few years and you are just making it up."

For the first time, Li Changyu felt that what the teacher said was wrong. How could he say that about Ruyi's poem about the fan?

Anyway, it seems fine to him.

Could it be that the teacher said the same thing to Ruyi?

Would Ruyi feel a little discouraged?

Seeing that his disciple was a little absent-minded, Qin Yunhe couldn't help but pick up the paper on the table and patted his head: "Okay, let's check the homework."

Although only a month had passed, Qin Yunhe could already see the progress of Fan Hong and Li Changyu. Both children had some talent and were quite diligent, so it was normal for them to make progress.

Qin Yunhe finished reading the homework of the two people and gave them some guidance.

After he finished speaking, Li Changyu could no longer hold back and asked, "Sir, why haven't I seen Sister Ruyi recently?"

Qin Yunhe glanced at him and said, "Oh, Ruyi is painting in her room. Do you have anything to do with her?"

"Uh... nothing." The courage that he had just mustered up faded away again: "I just missed my sister Ruyi because I haven't seen her for a long time."

Qin Yunhe said casually: "Now that you are all grown up, you should avoid it more often."

Li Changyu disagreed: "Do we have to avoid the master and his wife even if they are there..."

Qin Yunhe raised his eyebrows again and looked at Li Changyu jokingly.

Li Changyu hurriedly explained: "Ruyi and I grew up together. Didn't we run around together when we were young? We are not strangers..."

Normally, Li Changyu thought he was thick-skinned, but for some reason, his heart started beating like a drum recently whenever he saw the teacher raise his eyebrows.

Fan Hong saw Li Changyu's face suddenly turn red, and then he realized something was wrong, and his expression began to show some amusement.

It turns out that Li Changyu didn't want to hear about the funny stories of quarreling in the room...

Qin Yunhe didn't want Li Changyu to be too embarrassed, so he stopped teasing him and said, "Right now Ruyi is helping your master's wife draw flowers. If you miss her, stay for lunch and you'll see her."

Usually they came on time, Li Changyu and Fan Hong usually came in the afternoon. This time, because they were delayed by one day, they both arrived in the morning, just in time to stay for lunch.

Li Changyu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly bowed to accept the order.

When Qin Yunhe left, Fan Hong finally couldn't help himself and joked, "Zai Ming and I grew up together, so why doesn't Zai Ming miss me so much?"

Li Changyu's face turned red again, but after all, he was facing Fan Hong, so he was a little thick-skinned and said, "You are right in front of me, what is there to worry about?"
