After the Chinese New Year, it will be the year of Jiazi.

This year, the provincial examination will be held.

The two of them had been vigil last night for a long time and got up a little late today.

After breakfast, the two of them spent the first day of the junior high school at home doing nothing.

When it was the second day of the lunar month, he prepared some gifts. Zhao Ce took Su Caier to the door and went to pay New Year's greetings at Liu Ruyu's invitation.

Because she was about to go out, Su Caier dressed up and used a set of more expensive jewelry.

No need to use the powder.

Since the joy, Su Caier's face became more and more rosy when she was raised.

She wore a furry hat behind the cloak, with red lips and white teeth, and looked very cute.

Zhao Ce smiled and praised: "It's so beautiful!"

Su Caier also replied: "My husband is also looking good today!"

After the daily routine of the two of them playing rainbow farts with each other, they went out hand in hand.

Liu Ruyu rushed back to the capital only at the age of 30, and she lost a lot of weight compared to before.

But when he saw Zhao Ce and his wife, he happily greeted him at the door.

Of course, there will be many people coming to the family of the Minister of War to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the Chinese New Year.

As people came and went, they all had a lot of speculation when they saw Liu Daxia's son bringing the guests in person.

"Who is this? I want Censor Liu to greet them in person."

"It seems to be the new Yongxibo couple? Isn't it that he made the honeycomb coal that has been sought after by the people recently?"

"So Yongxibo has such a good relationship with Liu Shangshu's family?"

Zhao Ce pulled Su Caier, didn't mind other people's gazes, and walked through it openly.

Su Caier walked slowly, and she originally wanted to say that it would be fine if she walked faster.

However, seeing that his husband didn't mind at all, he felt relieved.

The two entered the house, and the hall of Liu's mansion was full of people.

Liu Ruyu took them directly to the study room.

Liu Daxia was about to go to entertain guests, but when he saw his son coming with Zhao Ce, he stopped.

"Mr. Liu, come here to greet the New Year with his son."

Liu Daxia nodded and pointed to the stool next to her.

"Sit down."

Liu Daxia had a pretty good impression of Zhao Ce, and he proofreaded his arithmetic book.

Recently, Zhao Ce also brought out honeycomb coal to benefit the people in the capital to solve the problem of fuel shortage for the people around the capital.

Moreover, not only around the capital, but also in places where firewood is short, these cheap and burn-resistant fuels can be used.

Therefore, Liu Daxia was also kind of friendly to the young couple.

"Ruyu, go outside to entertain guests."

"A brief chat with Yongxibo and his wife for their father."

Liu Ruyu nodded and whispered to Zhao Ce: "I'll visit you after finishing my work these days."

Zhao Ce nodded with a smile.

There were three people left in the study. As an elder, Liu Daxia asked the young couple a few daily words.

Zhao Ce answered one by one.

Liu Daxia said again: "I received a letter from you before, talking about the Shouning Marquis Mansion."

"I was not at home at that time, and later I asked someone to send you a reply."

"It has been a while since this matter, but are there anyone going to cause trouble?"

At that time, Zhao Ce sent a letter to Liu Daxia, telling him about his possible relationship with the housekeeper of the Shouning Marquis' Mansion.

As the end of the year approaches, Liu Daxia is really busy.

By the time he saw the letter, it was already the next day.

He immediately asked someone to inquire about the situation and hurried to the Ministry of War to deal with the matter.

When the reply letter was delivered to Zhao Ce's house, Mr. Zhang had already been dragged to the yamen by Master Zhu to death.

Although this matter did not help much, Zhao Ce still thanked Liu Daxia for his thoughts.

He bowed and said, "Thank you, Lord Liu, I have been in peace recently."

"That day, a Master Zhu came to my family and he had already helped me deal with this matter."

"Master Zhu..." Liu Daxia laughed.

He naturally heard about this matter ordered by Emperor Hongzhi.

Needless to say, who Mr. Zhu is, I know.

"So that's the case."

"My son is back in the capital and standby. If you have any urgent matters next time, just ask someone to find him."

"He can help you with ordinary things."

Zhao Ce smiled and said yes.

Liu Daxia looked at Su Caier next to Zhao Ce and said with a smile: "You two are here today, and I didn't prepare anything specifically."

He took a wooden box from the table and handed it over.

"Come on, this is jade sent by someone else, and the quality looks good."

"I can't use these even if I just intervene in Qingliu."

"You can take it to see if you can carve a pair of gadgets and wear it."

"You can also make some jewelry for your little lady to wear for the remaining scraps."

Although Liu Daxia's family is poor, there are quite a lot of people giving gifts.

During the Chinese New Year, it is not convenient for him to give back the gifts given to some relatives and close colleagues.

Liu Ruyu said that he would invite Zhao Ce and the others to come to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the lunar month. Seeing that this jade was just right, he stayed there specially.

Zhao Ce took Su Caier to stand up and took the wooden box brought by Butler Liu.

When I opened it, I saw a piece of jade the size of a palm inside, and it was all over.

It looks very good.

Zhao Ce quickly took Su Caier to salute: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for giving the jade."

Liu Daxia smiled and said, "You're welcome."

"Looking at you juniors, I feel very happy."

"At the beginning of spring this year, those who want to take the provincial examination will come to the capital."

"When your arithmetic book is released by the government, it will definitely make you famous among students."

"I hope you will be rude and be impatient and treat the next provincial examination well."

Zhao Ce bowed and said modestly: "The students remember all the words of Liu Gong."

Liu Daxia also said: "Although my son is not good at literary talent, he is also a Jinshi on both lists."

"If you have any academic issues, you can also discuss them with him."

Liu Daxia taught Zhao Ce earnestly just like a younger generation treating his younger generation.

Zhao Ce then listened carefully, occasionally responding.

Liu Daxia had many guests at home, and he couldn't host the two of them for long.

Seeing that Liu Daxia had said almost everything, Zhao Ce took out a few bound white paper from his arms.

"Mr. Liu, this is a policy that I wrote at home during this period. I thought I would come to my house today and I happened to bring it to myself."

"If Mr. Liu is free, can he show the students a look?"

Liu Daxia was the Minister of War and was most familiar with the military affairs of the Ming Dynasty.

He knew everything about the army on land or the navy on sea.

Therefore, Zhao Ce thought that if the thing he wrote could be more perfect if he could get his guidance.

Policy theory?

When Liu Daxia heard this, he became interested.
