Chapter 804 Good News(1/2)

After the feast of kindness, you will have to get the robe of the top scholar given by the emperor the next day.

But, what's the point?

Zhao Ce's young wife prepared a hand-sewn robe for him early.

He even "try it on" him well.

Two great things in life.

When the golden list is in the title, the wedding night is in the bridal chamber.

Get up the next day.

Seeing the wrinkled robe of the top scholar, Zhao Ce felt satisfied.

Su Caier was still asleep. When she felt him get up, she was in a daze and was about to sit up.

Zhao Ce lowered his head and kissed her.

"Sleep for a while, I'll take Xiaobao out for a while."

Su Caier became confused again.

Zhao Ce put on his clothes and leaned his head into the small bed where his daughter was sleeping.

Then I saw Xiaobao wake up again, pulling the quilt and playing with him.

When Xiaobao, who had been neglected for almost all night, finally got angry.

When Zhao Ce reached out to hug her, she slapped her mouth and started crying with a "woo wow".

Zhao Ce hugged her and whispered, "Be good, Daddy will take you to dinner."

"Let your mother sleep for a while."

As he said that, he carried Xiaobao out and personally fed her complementary food.

If you have something to eat, Xiaobao will naturally stop crying.

After eating, my mood completely improved.

When Zhao Ce was teasing her in the main hall, his fellow villagers basically arrived at his mansion.

After everyone congratulated each other, they began to ask about Zhao Ce’s return date.

Even if they are not won this time, they are honored to be able to return home with the top scholar who has won the sixth yuan!

Zhao Ce thought for a while and said, "I will have to go to the palace to present my thank-you form in two days."

"After presenting your thank-you form, there will be a family leave."

“We will set out then.”

After the new Jinshi graduates are in the first grade, there will be a holiday to visit relatives or return home to worship their ancestors.

Generally speaking, this holiday starts in two months.

Those who are far away from home like Zhao Ce will also consider the delay in the journey.

In other words, this holiday is as short as four months and as long as six months.

Then I will return to the capital and become an official in the court.

Apart from special circumstances like Ding You, there are basically no holidays to go back within six years.

If you are exiled to be an official, you will not be able to go back within at least nine years.

So this opportunity to visit relatives is the last time I have had my leisure time after entering the court meeting.

I discussed with everyone about the time to go back and left everyone for a banquet.

The next day, Zhao Ce brought all the new Jinshi to Honglu Temple to learn the etiquette of offering thank-you notes.

After the etiquette, when Zhao Ce returned home, he received another good news.

Mr. Wu, who had previously commissioned a boat in Guangzhou Prefecture, sent someone to deliver things after the spring, also happened to arrive.

As soon as the person who gave the goods arrived in the city, he heard people all over the capital talking about the name of Zhao Ce, the top scholar in Jinke.

He asked casually in the city and found out where Zhao Ce’s mansion was.

When Zhao Ce returned home, the man had been taken to the main hall by Su Caier.

When he saw Zhao Ce, this man was very sensible and bowed directly.

"Congratulations to Zhao Zhuangyuan for winning the sixth yuan, and he will be the best in the world!"

Zhao Ce nodded and looked at Su Caier with some confusion.

Su Caier explained: "Husband, this is someone sent by Mr. Wu of Guangzhou Prefecture."

"It is said that I found something my husband wants."

As soon as he heard this, Zhao Ce couldn't wait to ask: "What did Mr. Wu send you to deliver?"

Soon, someone walked in with several boxes.

Inside a box was filled with potatoes that Zhao Ce had longed for.

In the other boxes, there were even trees taller than one person.

I believe Mr. Wu has also spent a lot of effort to transport it from afar.

Zhao Ce squatted down and held the potato with a look of joy on his face.

"Yes, that's exactly this."

The man was affirmed by Zhao Ce and quickly replied attentively: "My master's fleet has been to many places over the past year. Fortunately, he got what you want from the top scholar."

"I remember, you are interested in some plants in the foreign country. My master also collected a lot of other plants to bring to you."

The man said, showing other plants.

In addition to potatoes, there are other plants in other boxes.

Some fruits that Zhao Ce knew were, but because of long-distance transportation, most of them were dried fruits delivered.

There are also some plants that people who delivered things said should not be something that the Ming Dynasty does not have now.

Zhao Ce did not have a deep study of plants, and his mind was attracted by the box of potatoes.

He glanced casually and was about to arrange for someone to send the potatoes to the greenhouse for breeding.

Suddenly, Su Caier stood in front of a green plant with small pink flowers and said with some interest: "It smells so good if this tree blooms."

Seeing that Mrs. Dingxi was interested, this man quickly asked for me for his master: "When it comes to this tree, there is still a strange fate."

"Our master's fleet encountered a storm on the sea and had to stop temporarily on an island."

"There are these trees growing right where you dock."

"My master thought that Dingxi Hou, you are interested in plants in the outer world, so he asked someone to move a few of the same size and bring them back."

"After the fleet returned, it happened to catch up with spring, so the tree survived."

As for what this tree is called, they can't say.

I only know that this tree smells good and looks pretty good.

Mr. Wu remembered that Zhao Ce was very fond of his little wife, so he thought of sending it over to see if he could please them.

After hearing it, Su Caier felt more and more that this tree was destined to be with them.

She looked at the words above and asked curiously: "Husband, do you know what tree this is?"

Zhao Ce took his eyes away from the potato and looked over.

When he saw the tree in the first day of the Chu Dynasty, he only felt that the tree looked familiar.

He stood up, walked to the tree, and took a closer look.

The bark is gray-brown, thin, with many cracks and shallow.

The pink ones are not small flowers, but tender leaves.

The green one is the old leaves.

Zhao Ce: "..."

He frowned slightly, and always felt that there was a name to blurt out.

"Tree......"

A tree name suddenly flashed through Zhao Ce's mind.

"Cinchona Tree!"

Zhao Ce blurted out in surprise.

Su Caier looked at him curiously: "Do you know this kind of tree?"

Zhao Ce nodded and said, "This is a good thing!"

As he said that, he said to the person who sent the goods: "Can you master still get this tree?"
