By evening, the young couple had packed their things.

When Master Cao learned that Zhao Ce was leaving, he specially asked Cao Si to come over and tell him.

It was said that tomorrow morning, Cao Si and Cao Liu would take them to the ferry in their own carriage.

Compared with Cao Si and Cao Liu being sent out to do work, the transportation expenses were two copper coins each.

Mr. Cao has laid a heavy bet on Zhao Ce and his wife!

Both of them were a little excited at the thought of going home tomorrow.

I talked for a long time before falling asleep.

Early the next morning.

After breakfast, Cao Si and Cao Liu had already arrived in their carriage.

The two of them first moved Zhao Ce and his suitcases into the car.

Su Cai'er wandered around the room for a while to see if there was anything she missed.

After confirmation, he closed the door and walked outside.

"Husband, it's ready."

Zhao Ce nodded and was about to carry her into the carriage.

But they saw Miss Lu, whom they rescued last time, walking towards here with her servant.

It was still dark, and the maid standing in front held a lantern.

Seeing Zhao Ce and the two of them, the maid shouted happily: "Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, please stay."

Several people approached, and the maid bowed and said, "Hello, my two benefactors. Our lady heard that you are leaving today, so we came here to say goodbye."

As she spoke, the attendant behind her also brought a locked box.

"A small thank you gift, please accept it from my benefactor."

Su Caier said nothing, waiting for her husband to speak.

Zhao Ce took a look, nodded and said, "You're welcome."

Cao Si and Cao Liu saw this and helped move the box up.

The maid handed over the key and said: "Master Zhao is returning from this trip. I heard that the imperial examination will be held next year."

"We are here to wish Mr. Zhao well enough to go to high school."

Miss Lu, who was behind the maid, did not speak during the whole process.

The maid asked again: "I don't know which school Mr. Zhao studied in?"

"You saved our young lady. We, the Lu family, should personally go and inform your husband about this."

Zhao Ce remembered Guo Juren's words, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "I am studying at Li Xiucai Academy in the west of the city."

Upon hearing the words Li Xiucai, Miss Lu behind the maid seemed to move.

Seeing that her young lady still had no intention of speaking, the maid smiled and replied: "That's it."

"It is said that famous teachers give birth to great disciples. I guess Mr. Zhao's husband is also a great person."

I have to say, this maid is really a talent.

Not only is he loyal to his master, but he is also good at speaking the right words.

Zhao Ce thought that after he passed the examination for meritorious service, he would have to choose a few smart people to come back and help him.

Zhao Ce roughly dealt with this maid.

The Lu family and the others saw that it was getting late, so they didn't bother much.

Standing aside, he bid farewell to Zhao Ce and the other two.

Zhao Ce carried Su Cai'er onto the carriage, but he also collapsed directly on it.

Cao Si and Cao Liu moved up the small steps for stepping on that Zhao Ce had neglected, and only then did Zhao Ce see such a thing.

He thought with some embarrassment that he didn't notice this thing at all.

They usually go in and out in bullock carts.

At that height, you can go up or down at any time.

The last time I took a carriage ride, it was at night.

Zhao Ce didn't pay attention to this either.

However, Cao Si and Cao Liu didn't say much, just drove the carriage and started to set off.

The three people from the Lu family watched the carriage go further and further away from where they were.

It wasn't until the shadow was gone that the maid said: "Miss, you just fell into the water and your health is not yet well. Shall we go back?"

Miss Lu looked away and murmured: "Li Xiucai from the west of the city..."

The maid and the attendant looked at each other helplessly.

...

The carriage is very fast.

Previously, it took almost half a day to travel by bullock cart.

The carriage took more than an hour to arrive.

After getting off the bus, Cao Si and Cao Liu helped the two of them rent a boat to go back, and then carried Zhao Ce's luggage aboard.

The boat we took back was larger than the one we came in and could accommodate several people.

However, Cao Si and the others directly helped and rented the entire boat.

After Zhao Ce and two others boarded the boat, Cao Si and Cao Liu bowed and said, "Have a nice trip."

Zhao Ce: "Thank you Mr. Cao and you two for your help."

After saying goodbye.

The boatman shouted, and the boat slowly started to move.

Zhao Ce sat back in the cabin and saw Su Cai'er studying the box sent by the Lu family.

"What's inside?"

Zhao Ce sat over and hugged Su Caier into his arms.

Su Cai'er said: "It's similar to the gifts given by Mr. Cao, they are all expensive things."

Zhao Ce wasn't very interested either, so he nodded directly after hearing this.

"Then just put it away when you get back."

"When the Chinese New Year comes, we won't have to buy New Year gifts. We can just pick some out and make gifts."

Su Cai'er agreed and said: "This will save all the money."

Zhao Ce smiled and tapped the tip of her nose.

"Little money lover."

The two of them looked at the box of gifts, and Su Caier locked them again.

The two of them each took their own books and began to read.

In the evening, the boatman docked the boat at the place where it docked last time.

"You two, it's getting late."

"Are you going to sleep in the cabin tonight, or go to a temple on the mountain for the night?"

The boatman asked me the same question when I came here last time.

Su Cai'er was fresh last time and chose to sleep in the cabin.

But after rescuing the young lady of the Lu family on the shore last time, she didn't dare anymore.

So Su Cai'er said: "Husband, shall we go to the temple to stay overnight?"

Zhao Ce had nothing to do and nodded directly in agreement.

After they got off the boat, they saw another boat docked next to them.

The boatman on the boat knew the boatman on their boat, and the two even greeted each other.

After the boatman said hello, he found a Lifu at the foot of the mountain for Zhao Ce and the others to help them carry their luggage up.

This temple is not high and there are not many steps.

In less than two quarters of an hour, halfway up the mountain, we arrived at the temple.

Because it is the only way to travel between Fucheng and the county, many scholars who usually go to Fucheng to take exams come here to stay overnight for free.

The man who picked things up was obviously very familiar with this place.
