Chapter 858(1/2)
Zhao Ce and Su Caier sat under the eaves for a while.
After returning to their hometown, both of them calmed down.
We sat together and looked at a peach tree that had not yet grown up, and we all looked at it with great interest.
It wasn't until both of them felt a little drowsy after watching it that they went into the room to catch up on their afternoon nap.
By the time Zhao Ce was about to leave for the city to attend the banquet, the second round of feasting in the village had already begun.
Li's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not go over, but stayed at Zhao Ce's home with Su Caier.
Zhao Ce took the three brothers Zhao Wensheng and prepared to enter the city.
The people attending the banquet today were all well-known people in their city or next door.
Zhao Wensheng and the others wanted to do some activities in their hometown, so they naturally wanted to accompany Zhao Ce out to show their faces.
Several people got on the big carriage.
We haven't seen each other for more than a year, but the brothers don't feel any difference.
Zhao Wenhao is not like before now. He wears shorts all day long with his trousers and sleeves rolled up.
And she put on a fancy dress of fine material.
He kept praising Zhao Ce for his intelligence.
Zhao Wensheng on the side also had a smile on his face, listening to the conversation between the two.
Over the past year or so, Zhao Wensheng has opened branches in several neighboring counties.
Because of Zhao Ce's relationship and his good manners with others, he can now be regarded as a figure.
The youngest Zhao Wenhua also went to Li Xiucai's school to prepare for the imperial examination.
Hearing that Zhao Ce passed the sixth grade, Zhao Wenhua looked at him with admiration in his eyes.
Zhao Ce smiled and asked: "How is Wenhua's performance now?"
Zhao Wenhua said a little embarrassedly: "Sir, he said it's not bad."
"But it's definitely not as good as what you did back then, Brother Ace."
Zhao Wenhao patted his brother on the shoulder and said matter-of-factly: "There is only one Wenqu star in the sky, and you can't compare to him."
"Except for you, there is no one in the entire Ming Dynasty who can compare, right?"
Facing Zhao Wenhao's comfort, Zhao Wenhua said with a silly smile: "Yes."
"Sir, they all say that Brother Ace is a genius that only happens once in a century."
"I guess no one will be able to match me later."
Zhao Wensheng laughed after listening to his brother's words.
Zhao Ce also smiled and said: "My imperial examination results have become a thing of the past."
"The family will be waiting to see your results from now on."
Zhao Wenhua clenched his fists and nodded seriously.
"I will work hard too!"
Several people looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Wenhao asked Zhao Ce to tell them some things about the capital.
This is not a long journey and we will arrive soon.
As usual, the banquet was held at Zuixuan Tower.
When Zhao Ce and others got off the carriage, they saw Chen Yuanwai, the owner of Zuixuanlou, waiting at the door with others.
Seeing Zhao Ce and Zhao Wensheng, he felt a little uncomfortable.
But there was still an impeccable smile on his face.
"Master Hou."
After saluting Zhao Ce, he greeted Zhao Wensheng and others.
"Boss Zhao."
Zhao Wensheng smiled at him.
He used to be the shopkeeper at Zuixuanlou, and Chen Yuanwai was actually quite good to him.
But later, because of his relative's affairs, Zhao Wensheng could no longer work here.
However, it happened to take this opportunity to start the business between Zhao Wensheng and Zhao Ce.
Zhao Ce's subsequent imperial examination was so successful, of course, it was indispensable for his family's financial support.
The two of them were not particularly enthusiastic towards Mr. Chen.
This is normal, after all, their identities are now usually in front of Zhao Ce.
That is to say, he has gained the favor of a fellow countryman.
As long as the two of them didn't hold any grudge against him or seek trouble, then Chen Yuanwai would be in high esteem.
After saying hello, he didn't bother a few people too much.
They were soon led to the banquet hall on the second floor.
There are already many people in the hall.
Seeing Zhao Ce coming, they all gathered around him.
Everything he said was congratulations.
"Not only has the Marquis been promoted to a noble title this time, but he has also achieved such a good result as the sixth grade. It is really gratifying to congratulate him."
"The sixth grade is achieved, and he has made great achievements."
"Presumably after the Marquis returns to the capital, His Majesty will entrust him with important tasks."
"In the future, the Marquis will be a famous minister through the ages..."
The compliments everyone says these days are getting more and more outrageous.
Zhao Ce smiled and casually said a few words, then sat down at the main seat.
The three brothers Zhao Wensheng will help with the rest.
Not long after.
Li Xiucai also arrived with all his students.
He sat next to Zhao Ce and stretched out his palm.
"This was once my student, sir, and he can be regarded as your senior brother."
"He is the Dingxi Marquis of the imperial court, and he is also the leader of the world who won the Sixth Element this time."
"Now that he is the leader of the world, you should also congratulate him."
Zhao Ce glanced at these primary school students.
There were only two or three familiar people left inside, and the rest were Li Xiucai's new disciples.
For those students who were in the same group as Zhao Ce, there was not enough people sitting in the class.
In the next two children's examinations, many students failed and therefore did not continue studying.
But looking at this battle now, we know that Li Xiucai's school has expanded its enrollment a lot.
A group of young primary school students saluted Zhao Ce one after another.
"Senior Brother Zhao."
Zhao Ce smiled and nodded, and said: "Every one of the disciples you have accepted must be outstanding."
"When I came back this time, I had a long journey and didn't bring much with me."
"In two days, I will have someone purchase a batch of fine Four Treasures of the Study and give them to you."
"I hope you will study hard and serve the imperial court in the future."
Zhao Ce's scene can be said to be the essence of the previous hosts of the Luming Banquet and the Enrong Banquet.
Although those words may make people drowsy, I have to say that they are still useful in giving blood to these primary school students.
After saying these words, all these primary school students clenched their fists in excitement.
The example comes first.
No matter how bad his grades were, he still thought about what he said to himself about serving the imperial court in the future, and wanted to work hard.
After Zhao Ce finished speaking, Li Xiucai waved his hand.
"Go back to your seat and sit down."
Zhao Ce couldn't help but laugh when he saw that Li Xiucai's behavior seemed to have not changed. He was as free and easy as ever.
