Chapter 568 It's time to pay...(1/2)
His heartbeat, which had been slightly too fast due to the dispute, slowly calmed down.
Hearing Su Cai'er's words, Zhao Ce smiled and said, "With your support, that's enough."
"You haven't been out for a long time, how about I take you back?"
Su Cai'er said excitedly: "Okay."
"This is my first time to see what the streets of Beijing look like."
Zhao Ce felt much better when he saw the smile on her lips.
"Let's go slowly."
Su Cai'er nodded and walked home slowly with him.
On the streets of Beijing, there is almost no snow on the roads.
The sun rarely came out today.
Although most of the shops were not open, it did not affect the two people's good mood.
Zhao Ce threw the policy theory directly back to Xu Fang who was following behind him. He took Su Cai'er with him and pointed the surrounding roads to her from time to time.
The two of them wandered back home, walking for almost half an hour.
Su Cai'er's face turned slightly red when she left, and her body was steaming.
She had not been out for so long since coming to the capital. This rare visit really made her happy.
When he returned to his mansion, he kept talking to Zhao Ce about the things he saw on the street.
Zhao Ce also didn't expect that during the festival in the capital, it would look deserted than in the countryside.
However, it started on the first day of the new year and today is already the second day of the new year.
There are people walking shoulder to shoulder on this street, all going out to pay New Year greetings.
The elders led the younger ones, and each family went to pay homage.
Some even see them on the street and ask the younger members of the family to kneel down and say New Year greetings to the younger members of another family.
And I also received New Year greetings from the juniors of another family.
Peers of the same generation bow to each other, chat on the street, and say auspicious words.
Although there are inevitably some bad habits, it has to be said that this year's flavor is quite good.
It's a pity that their family has no relatives in Beijing.
After visiting Liu Daxia's house today, the remaining families only need to prepare greeting cards and send them to them.
As for the old gentlemen who had not left their addresses, Zhao Ce had no choice but to give up.
The two went home and took a rest.
Zhao Ce also looked at the invitations received at home, most of which were from his classmates, and prepared to reply to them one by one.
Su Cai'er helped him organize it. The two of them hid in the study for a while, and then someone reported from outside that someone had come to their home to pay New Year's greetings.
Zhao Ce asked curiously: "Who came to our house to pay New Year's greetings?"
The concierge Lao Zhang also changed into new clothes during the Chinese New Year and was smiling all over.
He said: "It's a young man named Qian Ning."
"Qian Ning..."
The young couple looked at each other.
Su Cai'er frowned slightly: "Why is he here again?"
Su Cai'er still remembers the fact that her family was cheated by him.
When I heard this name, I subconsciously disliked it.
But for those who are celebrating the New Year, if someone comes to pay New Year greetings, they must not be allowed to enter the house.
Zhao Ce stood up and said, "You stay in the study, I'll go see him."
...
outside the door.
The people behind Qian Ning were holding a lot of New Year greetings and were waiting idlely for the announcement.
He has been really unlucky recently.
The original house was sold at a high price, and he gained money and established a relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince.
As a result, as soon as he became the crown prince, he made his highness unhappy because of the sale of his house.
Now every time I go to the East Palace to ask for an audience, I am rejected without exception.
Liu Jin accepted a lot of benefits from him and told him twice that the relationship between the prince and Uncle Yongxi was not simple.
Qian Ning also came to give gifts last time, hoping to ease the relationship between the two.
As a result, he didn't even get through the door.
Now that he is celebrating the New Year, he will come to his door in person. No matter how big of an air Yong Xibo is, he will definitely want to see him!
As expected, he was quickly taken in.
Looking at the collapsed walls on both sides, Qian Ning's eyes couldn't help but twitch.
It's really strange that Mr. and Mrs. Yong Xibo didn't even repair the wall when they saw it.
Could it be that it was reserved specifically for others to see?
It is estimated that His Highness the Crown Prince is angry at himself just because he saw this wall.
Qian Ning rolled his eyes and soon had an idea.
Zhao Ce was waiting in the hall. When he saw him, he said lightly: "Qian Baihu is here."
Qian Ning had a sincere smile on his face: "Happy New Year to Uncle Yongxi."
"Today I specially come here with a gift to pay New Year greetings and wish Uncle Yongxi and Mrs. Yongxibo good health."
After saying that, he asked someone to send the New Year's gift behind him.
Zhao Ce said "hmm", asked someone to accept the New Year's gift, and served tea to Qian Ning.
"Qian Baihu is interested."
"There are a lot of things going on at home today, so I apologize for the poor reception."
The implication was that he was very busy and asked him to finish his tea and leave quickly.
Qian Ning said with a smile: "Of course."
"I heard that Uncle Yongxi made briquettes that benefited the people before the Chinese New Year and saved many people from freezing conditions."
"For such merit, I believe the Holy Spirit will reward you greatly after the Chinese New Year."
"Of course it's normal for many people to come to your house to pay New Year greetings."
Zhao Ce nodded slightly at him.
He also figured out Qian Ning's identity later.
The future adopted son of Emperor Zhengde.
Now this man looks a few years older than me, probably a round older than Zhu Houzhao.
For the sake of power, this kind of person is willing to accept as his father an emperor who is more than a round younger than him.
Even though he said he was shameless, he might still be flattered.
Qian Ning took a sip of tea and said, "Uncle Yongxi, speaking of which, besides paying New Year greetings, I have something important to discuss with you."
Zhao Ce looked at him and said, "What's the matter with Qian Baihu?"
Qian Ning said with some embarrassment: "When I sold the house, I didn't know how to do it."
"Later, when I went back, I realized that the price was too high."
"This... this house is pretty good inside, but can I help you find someone to repair the outer wall?"
"I must restore you to your original state!"
Seeing his guilty look, Zhao Ce smiled and said: "Qian Baihu's good intentions, no need, it's not appropriate to break ground in my home now."
"It's not appropriate to break ground..."
When Qian Ning heard this, he suddenly thought of something.
He is a royal guard, so naturally he doesn't know everything.
No wonder this wall has not been repaired. It turns out it cannot be repaired!
Qian Ning suddenly realized: "That's it!"
"No wonder Yong Xibo, you were busy buying a house as soon as you came to the capital."
