Chapter 125 This scholar is the quintessence of the country when he speaks(1/2)

You can see the juicer in three days!

After doing this, Zhao Ce breathed a sigh of relief and headed straight to the west of the city.

The blacksmith shop is in the west of the city, but...

He remembered the Li Xiucai whom Wu Xueli had recommended to him before.

It is also in the west of the city.

Is it possible to stop by Li Xiucai’s school and ask if it accepts students?

Although he was not very hopeful, Zhao Ce still wanted to try his luck.

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, the Ming Dynasty clearly distinguished these levels."

"No matter what, I have to find my identity as a scholar as soon as possible."

"If we hurry up, we should be able to catch up with the next childbirth examination."

Zhao Ce looked at his relatively new bunt, and then thought that he also brought some ready-made fruit candies in his backpack.

Zhao Ce made up his mind.

On the way, I spent fifty coins and bought a wooden box that was fairly well made.

A layer of cloth was spread inside and ten fruit candies were placed.

I also took out a small bag of sugar from the grocery store.

This apprenticeship ceremony is not without value.

Zhao Ce gave himself a thumbs up in his heart!

After going to the blacksmith shop to order a brand, Zhao Ce inquired about the location of Li Xiucai's school.

Not far away either.

It only takes a while to have a cup of tea.

Zhao Ce walked to the location just pointed out and saw a house that looked pretty good.

After knocking on the door, he stood outside for a while.

A response soon came from inside: "Here we come!"

A book boy who looked to be eleven or twelve years old opened the door.

He saw that although Zhao Ce was wearing a short jacket, he was dressed like a peasant.

But he didn't hesitate at all, and asked politely: "Who is here? What's the matter?"

Zhao Ce walked up and said very politely: "Zhao Ce is in Xiashuiqiao Village and wants to meet Li Xiucai."

The scholar replied: "Sir is not here right now, why don't you go in and sit down for a while?"

Zhao Ce nodded slightly and thanked him, then followed him in.

As soon as I sat down, the book boy brought some water.

"Young Master, please drink some water first. I think I will be back soon."

Zhao Ce found it hard to believe that this book boy was so polite.

Generally speaking, the status of a scholar is considered good in this city.

The book boy who has been staying here will naturally have a slightly higher outlook.

He didn't expect that the book boy next to Li Xiucai would be so serious and polite!

The previous wife of the original owner, Liu Xiucai, although not very good, had a very bad temper.

In comparison, this Li Xiucai is probably much stronger!

Could it be that this was all taught by Master?

If this is really the case, then Li Xiucai's level must be very high.

But if you attach too much importance to etiquette, will you be like Liu Xiucai and refuse to accept him because of his previous bad reputation?

But now that we are here, Zhao Ce doesn’t think about it anymore.

"We can only take one step and see one step at a time." Zhao Ce thought to himself.

Just thinking about it.

A man was walking in happily from outside with a wooden box in his hand.

Even though they are far away, you can feel that this person is in a good mood.

"Sir, Mr. Zhao Ce from Shuiqiao Village is here to visit."

Seeing that his wife was back, the boy said calmly.

Li Xiucai proudly played with the wooden box in his hand and said with a smile, "Is someone coming to visit me?"

"What happened?"

"I don't know." The boy replied honestly.

Li Xiucai didn't ask any more questions and walked directly in.

Seeing Zhao Ce, he seemed stunned for a moment, and then quickly thought about it.

"Is it you?"

Zhao Ce stood up and was about to give him a serious salute.

At a glance, he saw the wooden box in Li Xiucai's hand.

Zhao Ce: "?"

It looks familiar!

Could this wooden box contain the Qin Dynasty antiques that Ding Wenxuan and Wu Xueli rushed to buy earlier?

Li Xiucai saw Zhao Ce's eyes resting on his hand and said happily: "How is it? Doesn't this wooden box have a long history?"

Zhao Ce couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he saw Li Xiucai's proud look.

Good guy!

Although he stopped Wu Xueli from buying this antique as a gift to his wife, his wife went into battle in person and was still killed!

What kind of history does this have?

Just this kind of old wooden box, they rural people just look through it at home, don't they have it?

Not to mention anything else, the wooden box where his silver is stored has a longer history than this one!

"With all due respect, sir, where did you get this box?"

Zhao Ce didn't care to talk about becoming a disciple anymore, and fixed his eyes on the wooden box.

Li Xiucai didn't realize it, but took the box and showed it in front of Zhao Ce.

"You really know the goods! This is the antique I just spent a lot of money to buy!"

"This is the drinking utensil used by a deputy general under General Zhao Tuo!"

"The treasure of the Qin Dynasty! It's so precious!"

"You are discerning, but this is just one thing. Even if you want it, you can't buy it."

"But if you want to take a look, I can let you appreciate it."

"I've looked at it carefully. It's a good thing, and it just matches the elegant temperament of this scholar!"

Zhao Ce: "..."

I'm sorry for this liar, he didn't even change his words...

But the scholar's words seemed different from what he imagined?

A bit too familiar?

Li Xiucai had already opened the wooden box, revealing the pot-shaped utensil inside.

"look!"

Zhao Ce took a look, hesitated, and then asked Li Xiucai: "Sir, did you spend ten taels of silver to buy this wine set?"

Li Xiucai asked in confusion: "How do you know?"

Zhao Ce laughed dryly and said truthfully: "This antique... I'm afraid it's fake."

Li Xiucai frowned slightly and looked down again.

"Fake?"

Li Xiucai didn't quite believe it, but he still looked at the wine set carefully.

He pointed to the side with the word "Zhao" written on it.

"Look, I identified it carefully."
