Chapter 476 Let's Go to a Farther Place
Zhao Ce and the others in the village had no time to pay attention to the affairs of the people in Sujia Village.
These days, Zhao Ce has been busy setting up the ancestral hall and has to build a better grave for his dead parents.
There is also Su Caier's parents' side, and Zhao Ce is also planning to ask someone to choose a better place and choose a better festival. Move here to build a better grave together, so that they can worship in the future.
That afternoon, Zhao Ce finally got idle and spread it out at home, saying that he didn't want to go out.
Su Caier and Li and others were making arrangements for home affairs. After bringing him tea, they diligently pinched Zhao Ce's shoulders.
Zhao Ce closed his eyes and enjoyed it for a while before speaking, "Baby, I have something to discuss with you."
After saying that, he took Su Caier's hand and sat on his lap.
Su Caier was surrounded by him and looked at her husband with some curiosity.
After Zhao Ce told Su Caier about the relocation of the grave, Su Caier hesitated and said a little: "Husband, will this be inconsistent with the rules?"
Logically speaking, these things must be done by someone from Su Caier's father.
But the group of people in the Song family were far away from here. They never appeared again after Mrs. Song was beaten in court last time.
Zhao Ce smiled and said, "What's wrong with this?"
"I am the head of the family, and my words are the rules!"
Su Caier laughed "puke" and then nodded seriously and said, "Husband is the head of the family, you have the final say!"
Zhao Ce smiled and pinched her little face.
"But we probably can't wait to do these things at home in person, and we almost have to set out to the capital."
"So, I can only ask my uncle to pay attention to this matter, and leave a few people here to do this. When we come back to worship our ancestors, we will see how it will be done."
It is definitely not good for Zhao Youcai and the others to take action on Su Caier's family affairs.
So Zhao Ce thought of keeping two smart servants down and letting them follow up on this matter.
Zhao Youcai and his family were watching in the village, and they were not afraid of any mistakes in these servants' work.
Su Caier listened to Zhao Ce’s words seriously. After he finished speaking, she asked him curiously: “Husband, are we not coming back during the Chinese New Year?”
Su Caier didn't know how far the capital was.
When I was in the capital city, I heard from the people around me that if I set out from their capital city to the provincial capital, I would be able to arrive for about seven or eight days.
Seven or eight days are already a long distance for her.
So she thought that if she had to go to Beijing, she would probably be able to arrive in about half a month, right?
Zhao Ce shook his head and said, "I can't come back during the Chinese New Year."
In the past, it was probably only a few hours before it came to Beijing from them.
However, in ancient times, when transportation was inconvenient, it was really difficult to go out for a long distance.
Zhao Ce had asked County Magistrate Zhang before. If he set out from them and went to Northern Zhili, he would have to make a plan and take about two months to take a carriage to land.
They had to take a boat from the county first, then change to a carriage when they arrived at the capital city, and then walk on the road for nearly two months.
Those imperial envoys used good horses, and it would take more than a month to come.
Of course, if you travel by horse, the journey will be shortened by more than half.
In addition to taking the land route, you can also take the land route for half a month, then take a boat to the Grand Canal, and then turn to the land route.
But if this continues, the time will be similar to riding a carriage.
Moreover, after taking a boat for so long, Zhao Ce felt it was not very safe, so he should give priority to taking the land route.
It is already early September, and they set out at this time and it will be almost the first time to celebrate the New Year when they arrive in the capital.
This is definitely not something I can get back.
When Zhao Ce enters the Imperial College, he will also participate in next year's provincial examination. If it goes well, the annual examination will continue.
In this way, I guess I have to stay in the capital for two years.
Zhao Ce didn't say so far to Su Caier, he just said that it would take about two months to go to the capital.
After hearing this, Su Caier was shocked and couldn't come back to her senses.
"Is it going to take two months?"
Zhao Ce nodded, held her little face and said, "So, do you want to go?"
Su Caier blinked inexplicably: "Will you not go?"
Zhao Ce smiled: "Actually, I have a title now and I have some ability to protect myself. We can live more than many people when we stay here, and basically no one will mess with us."
"If you arrive in the capital, you will simply continue to participate in the imperial examinations and may get a good ranking, either becoming an official or coming back."
"What did you think?"
This problem stumped Su Caier.
She never thought her husband would ask her this question, and she seemed to be like she would do whatever she said she thought.
Su Caier is not too smart. She has only her husband and their home. She just wants to follow her husband, no matter where she goes.
It was really difficult for her to make a decision...
Su Caier said hesitantly but honestly: "Husband, I can't think of it."
"Don't worry, think about it slowly."
Zhao Ce picked up the teacup next to him, took a sip, and gave Su Caier another sip.
Su Caier thought for a while before asking back: "What did your husband think?"
Zhao Ce directly said to Su Caier what he thought about: "I have been studying for so long and now I have been a scholar in the first year, and my grades are pretty good."
"So, I do want to try to get up and see how strong I am."
Zhao Ce, a modern man, worked hard to learn so many eight-legged essays and exam-taking methods in order to improve his status.
Now that I have a title, I have basic guarantees.
But Zhao Ce still wanted to see what steps he could get.
After hearing his words, Su Caier clenched her fists and said firmly: "Then let's go!"
"My husband's grades are so good, and he will definitely achieve good results in the provincial examination at that time!"
Zhao Ce agreed and said: "Not bad!"
"Since one thing has come, you have to go out and see it, right? Just think we went out for a trip!"
Su Caier didn't understand what he said, nor did she know what her husband said she was going to see, but it did not affect her support for her husband.
She lit her little head "Yeah": "Then go and have a look!"
Then, the little rich woman patted her small purse boldly.
"My husband, don't worry. We have saved a lot of money this year, so it's enough to go to the capital."
Zhao Ce couldn't help but kiss the rich woman and teased her mouth: "The expenses along the way depend on you, Boss Su."
After the two agreed, they began to prepare for what to set out.
After Zhao Youcai and others learned about Zhao Ce’s travel plan, they were extremely reluctant to leave.
