However, the young couple did not feel sad for long, and the carriage arrived outside the county town.

County Magistrate Zhang had already waited here early with his subordinate officials and yamen staff.

What surprised Zhao Ce was that there were many people following behind County Magistrate Zhang.

These are all well-known families in the city, all following behind, looking at Zhao Ce and the others with a serious look on their faces.

Li Xiucai stood next to the magistrate Zhang and smiled and said, "After calm down, remember to send a letter back."

Zhao Ce said yes.

Wu Xueli, next to Li Xiucai, said happily: "I will work hard next year and try to go to the capital to find you earlier."

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Brother Xueli's grades are still good, and there is a great chance of getting the chance to participate in the provincial examination next year."

Wu Xueli said happily: "After your words, we will have dinner together when you come back!"

Zhao Ce said goodbye to the familiar few people, and then took Su Caier to the magistrate Zhang.

"Mr. County Master, it's time for us to set off."

County Magistrate Zhang nodded: "Go."

"Don't worry about family affairs. I will not let anyone bully your family."

Zhao Ce took Su Caier back onto the carriage again.

Wu Xueli's family also sent two cars of people to follow him and took them to the ferry and helped carry their luggage.

The young couple embarked on this familiar road to Fucheng again.

After a day and night, it was already afternoon after arriving in the mansion.

As soon as Zhao Ce and the others returned home, Prefect Cui was missing someone to come to the door and asked Zhao Ce when he set off.

After Zhao Ce finished speaking, Liu Ruyu from there also came over.

Liu Ruyu has lost a lot of weight recently, but he has lost a little bit less weight than when Zhao Ce first rescued him from the thief's nest.

"Mr. Liu has recently cut a lot of money for the sake of the Salt Administration."

Liu Ruyu said distractedly: "I just have to accidentally get rid of this group of people."

"After this rectification, they will not dare to do these things again for at least three to five years."

After saying that, he said with a pity: "It's a pity that I can't catch up with the progress I'm so rushing forward with you."

"Why do you stay in the capital for a few days and wait until I get through the matter together?"

Zhao Ce was about to speak, but he shook his head again.

"Forget it, it probably isn't that fast here. You have to settle down when you go to the capital, and it will take a lot of time."

After saying that, he took out a jade pendant from himself and handed it to Zhao Ce directly.

Zhao Ce reached out to take it and saw the word "Liu" engraved on the jade pendant.

This is Liu Ruyu's jade pendant that Zhao Ce captured Tang's big temple, and Lao Feng and reinforcements searched back from each other's den.

Liu Ruyu said: "This piece of jade is a token of the Liu family. After you go to the capital, you can take this jade to the Liu Mansion."

"If you take your family to Beijing, if you rent some independent houses for a short time, it will be too short for no one in the capital to rent them to you."

"It is not convenient to rent a yard with others to share it with you."

"I have already been to the letter a few days ago and asked my family to help you arrange a residence."

"But..." Liu Ruyu said a little embarrassedly: "But my family is poor, and the place where I live may not be very good. You can go and have a look."

"If it is not suitable, I will take you to find another place to live."

Zhao Ce said gratefully: "Thank you, Lord Liu."

"However, I don't know what the address is on Lord Liu's mansion?"

This is Zhao Ce and Su Caier who have been to the capital for the first time, so it is naturally the best to have the help of a censor.

Zhao Ce did not refuse Liu Ruyu's help.

Liu Ruyu said with a smile: "Oh, my family is easy to find."

"You go to the capital and find someone to ask about it. Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, is it."

Liu Daxia?

Zhao Ce stared at Liu Ruyu with wide eyes slightly.

Good guy!

This talkative censor is actually the son of Liu Daxia, one of the three gentlemen of Hongzhi?

Zhao Ce couldn't help but look at Liu Ruyu again.

When Liu Ruyu saw Zhao Ce's expression, his old face turned slightly red.

He coughed lightly and said, "I owe you the money I owe you in the mansion. After I return to the capital, I will personally return it to your mansion."

Liu Ruyu patted his chest and said proudly: "I went out to do business this time, and the court will have a large amount of additional subsidy."

With a thumbs up, Liu Ruyu continued, "I'm rich!"

The Minister of War was living in a difficult life, which was something that everyone in the capital knew about.

Emperor Hongzhi even secretly stuffed his father 100 taels of silver for this to help them make up for the family.

However, Liu Ruyu went out for a long trip to work, but he could get a large amount of extra salary from the court.

So he will definitely pay back the money he owes Zhao Ce by himself.

Zhao Ce came back from the shock and said with a smile: "It's all small money, so there's no need to pay it back."

Liu Ruyu waved his hand: "How can this work?"

"If you say it, you borrow it or borrow it. Although you make money well, you rely on yourself."

"Although I have gained my ancestors' embrace, I usually spend my own salary."

"We are all the same!"

Zhao Ce had no choice but to respond to Liu Ruyu's words.

After Liu Ruyu and Zhao Ce explained, they left hurriedly again.

There are too many things in his yamen. If he wants to return to the capital before the New Year, he has to work overtime to finish the things he has.

Zhao Ce and the others had just returned to the city for only half a day, and everyone knew the news.

After Liu Ruyu left, Qiu Shubai also brought Lu to the door to say goodbye to the two.

Lu gave Zhao Ce and the other two a quilt with a mandarin duck crossed its neck. The embroidery on it was very large, which seemed to take a lot of effort.

She also prepared a lot of tricks for Su Caier to draw on the road and pass some time.

Su Caier liked these thoughtful gifts very much.

He pulled Lu and said a lot.

Later, Lun Mingyi and others visited each other, and Zhao Ce simply set up two tables at home, just to treat it as a farewell drink.

While drinking, Dr. Ge and others also sent someone to send gifts.

After a meal of wine, many people got drunk. Everyone left Zhao Ce’s family with arms around.

Lun Mingyi also tasted some wine and was supported by Mr. Song to the door.

"Zhao Ce, Chrysan, wait for me. In less than two years, I will go to the capital to find you. We will compete at that time!"

Mr. Song pulled him and threw him to his servant, laughing and crying: "I still remember the competition when I am drunk."

Zhao Ce sent them out and said goodbye to them with a smile.

As for the others, Zhao Ce didn't have time to say goodbye one by one.

I could only leave a letter and wait for my family to send it to me one by one after another.

......

The next morning.

Zhao Ce took Su Caier and officially set out on the way to the capital.

Lord Cui took the officials from the city to say goodbye at the city gate. Following him were all scholars wearing blue clothes and square scarves.

The drunk classmates all struggled to say goodbye to Zhao Ce last night.

Zhao Ce bowed to everyone and said, "I hope you will have a bright future and make great achievements in the imperial examination."
