Speaking of Qu Qingheng, not only is he powerful, but his family is also the famous Qu family in the early days of the founding of the dynasty.

Qu Qingheng's father used to be a General of the Central Army under the command of the current Emperor Wu, and was a military officer of neither high nor low rank.

If the new emperor had not come to Beijing to assassinate him, he would probably have been promoted to the position of a third-rank general by now.

When the new emperor overthrew the previous dynasty and was assassinated when he entered the capital, it was Qu Qingheng's father Qu Chaowei who blocked the arrow for Emperor Wu.

Although the arrow did not hit a fatal spot, it was highly poisonous and he was dead before the doctor arrived.

The only things he couldn't let go of before his death were his 15-year-old son and his younger brother Qu Chaonan, who was a small county magistrate at the time.

Later, it was not known whether Emperor Wu intended to promote the Qu family or whether Qu Chaonan was really capable, but in eight years he was promoted step by step from a small county magistrate to the second-rank official, the Minister of Justice.

During these eight years, Qu Qingheng's reputation as a genius became known to all scholars in the Tianqi Dynasty.

He won the first place in the imperial examination twice in a row, the first place in the Jieyuan and the Huiyuan. Just when everyone thought he was the top scorer of that year.

Something happened to the Qu family because Qu Chaonan, the Minister of Justice, made a wrongful judgment.

All officials of the Qu family were dismissed from their posts and returned to their hometowns, and Qu Qingheng was also stripped of his official titles because of this incident.

Originally, the most that would result from a wrong judgment would be demotion or salary fine, which would not affect the clan members.

But this time he was unlucky as the person wrongly accused was the youngest son of the Prime Minister Yin Qishan.

His youngest son had both legs broken in prison and could never stand up again.

However, Yin Qishan was the one who took the lead in surrendering and opening the city gates when the new emperor entered the capital, and his influence in the court should not be underestimated.

His eldest daughter is currently the most popular Concubine Li in the harem.

After considering many factors, the emperor sentenced the Qu family to a heavy sentence.

The civil and military officials and the imperial harem forced him to make the judgment.

In this way, the Qu family returned to their hometown, Qingyang Prefecture, but Qu Qingheng went into business.

The dean of Qingcang Academy was so angry that he scolded Qu Qingheng every time he saw him and threatened that he would never acknowledge Qu Qingheng as his disciple again.

After listening to Jiang Yueyin's words, although Lin He could not understand Qu Qingheng's feelings of changing from a favored child of heaven to a businessman, he was also shocked.

The prosperity of a family often only requires this opportunity, such as the Qu family.

And it only takes one thing to fall, like the Qu family.

Although Lin He was born in a farming family and was still just a young student, he could also imagine that the downfall of the Qu family was not as simple as a wrongful case, and there were things that others did not know about.

Thinking of this, he actually felt a little excited in his heart, and he didn't know what made him feel this way.

Perhaps he was excited about the officialdom he was about to step into.

Maybe it was because I suddenly felt excited that big shots also had their own reasons.

I can’t say.

"Sir, why do you know so much about the Qu family? Do you know Mr. Qu?" Lin He asked him.

"Everyone in Tianqi knows about the Qu family's affairs. As for whether you know Qu Qingheng? I guess I did, several years ago, but we haven't been in touch since his family got into trouble two years ago."

After Jiang Yueyin finished answering, he asked him again: "You just said you wanted to take Qu Qingheng as your master? Who gave you this bad idea? Would he agree? Do you know why President Cai scolded him?"

Lin He replied, "He himself said he wanted to take me in as his disciple. As for why Dean Cai scolded him as a student, I don't know. Could you please tell me?"

"Did he really want to take you in as his disciple? That's strange. Although his honors were stripped away, his knowledge is indeed solid.

Cai Hong wanted him to go to Qingcang Academy to be a teacher, but what happened to him?

He went to open a bookstore and started a business, specializing in storybooks. This almost pissed Cai Hong off to death."

Jiang Yueyin seemed to be telling a story, gesticulating with all his hands.

…

Lin He thought, are you sure you are not watching a show?

But what he said was: "Since Mr. Qu is so capable, I have decided to become his disciple."

"Of course, with him guiding you, you're just a scholar. Don't go to class today. Go back and prepare the apprenticeship ceremony. Have your elders take you to the apprenticeship tomorrow. I'll go to watch the ceremony."

…

Lin He thought, you probably want to laugh at Qu Qingheng. You don't even deal with scholars, but you still accept an apprentice.

But he just thought about it in his mind, and still bowed and said goodbye obediently.

It was not yet noon when Lin He arrived home. Li Yu was sitting on a lounge chair in the yard basking in the sun. It was cold when there was no sun in February, but it was warm in the sunny place when there was sun, and it was very comfortable to bask in the sun.

"Mom, I'm back."

He spoke.

Only then did Li Yu take the book off his face.

Ask him: "Well, what does your teacher say?"

"The teacher said that I don't need to go to class today. I should come back and prepare the apprenticeship ceremony. The elders will take me to pay my respects to the master tomorrow. He will go to observe the ceremony."
