Zhao Ce had no choice but to simply explain: "When I was in Tongzhou, I heard that an epidemic had occurred, and the medical book sent by Doctor Ge happened to contain treatment methods."

"So I helped the imperial doctor deal with the local illness, and was delayed for a few days before returning."

Su Cai'er frowned immediately when she heard the word epidemic.

Things like the plague are really too scary.

The terrain of their county is very good, and there have never been any major droughts or floods.

But in nearby counties, it often happens.

Even if Su Cai'er was in her hometown before and had never traveled far, she still knew that the word "plague" meant death.

But when she saw her husband looking good in front of her, she dropped her anxious heart and said nothing more.

He was just a little worried and said: "My husband said that Tongzhou is not far from the capital, so why haven't we in the capital started to vaccinate against the cowpox that my husband mentioned?"

Zhao Ce explained with a smile: "After large-scale vaccination observation in Tongzhou, it will soon be spread throughout the Ming Dynasty."

"By then, no one will have to worry about contracting this disease."

Su Cai'er breathed a sigh of relief, hugged her daughter and kissed her.

"But we still can't take it lightly. I have to make more careful arrangements for people who come into contact with Xiaobao in the future."

Zhao Ce nodded: "Well, of course I want it."

Their adults can withstand a lot of illnesses, but babies don't have such strong resistance.

After the two couples discussed this matter for a while, it was already getting slightly brighter.

Su Cai'er asked someone to prepare some gifts and packed some of Xiaobao's things.

Zhao Ce saw her cleaning up, and he consciously took over the important task of holding the child.

Holding Xiaobao in his arms and watching her drowsily trying to sleep, Zhao Ce suddenly felt something in his heart.

These cradles and cribs are not easy to take with you when you go out for a short period of time.

Can you design a stroller yourself and put it on the carriage?

Even if you go out in the future, can you give your baby a small place to sleep peacefully?

Thinking like this, Zhao Ce decided to discuss it with the carpenter when he came back.

By the time Su Cai'er finished packing, the sky was already getting brighter.

Zhao Ce thought that after arriving at Li's house, he would wait for a while. Li Dongyang would almost go to court, so he took his people and prepared to go out.

As soon as I walked to the door and before I got in the car, people were already coming from the other side of the road.

"Uncle Yongxi, there is an imperial edict coming from the palace. Please take a bath and burn incense, Uncle Yongxi, in preparation for receiving the edict."

Is the edict coming so quickly?

Zhao Ce thought he would come tomorrow.

But then I thought about it, it seemed that the eunuch who delivered the order last night had already promised tomorrow.

It seems like today is tomorrow, right?

Zhao Ce was speechless, but quickly nodded calmly.

"Excuse me, please go and have a cup of tea first."

Su Cai'er also stopped, but she didn't look too panicked.

Without him, it seems to be normal for their family to receive imperial edicts. Junqu Pavilion

This person came to inform first, and the person who actually delivered the message had not yet arrived.

Zhao Ce could only arrange for people to step aside and receive the imperial edict first.

I originally thought it was an imperial edict to reward me as before.

Unexpectedly, after the person who delivered the decree finished reading the edict, everyone in Zhao Ce was confused.

What's the meaning?

This imperial edict allows me to go to the Ministry of Rites to perform ceremonies after the Double Ninth Festival and prepare to give lectures to the prince?

What the prince has to learn is similar to what they take in the imperial examination.

I am a candidate for the imperial examination, and I am still trying to prepare for the imperial examination.

Are you going to teach others?

The person who taught this was none other than the current Crown Prince.

Zhao Ce felt a little magical.

It’s not that I’m afraid that I won’t be able to speak out.

After all, I also taught Zhu Houzhao a lot of things in private.

It’s just that what Zhao Ce taught before were all modern things and concepts.

As for ancient knowledge, I am actually still in the exploratory stage.

In this era where academic qualifications and background are important, it is unbelievable that I should receive such a serious task.

It’s no wonder that Zhao Ce himself couldn’t react.

As a condition for delivering the decree, the imperial edict was handed over to Zhao Ce, who thanked him.

The eunuch also knew that Yong Xibo was now the newly promoted Jieyuan of Shuntian Prefecture, so he naturally wanted to sell him a good one.

"Uncle Yongxi, don't worry."

"Although the Holy One asked Yong Xibo to give lectures to the prince in the East Palace, he did not want Yong Xibo to lecture on classics and history like other lecturers."

"Previously, the arithmetic book written by Yong Xibo was published and distributed in the Ming Dynasty. The Holy Emperor also wanted to let Yong Xibo teach His Highness the Crown Prince some simple arithmetic."

"When Mr. Li Ge, Yong Xibo's husband, was called into the palace to lecture Emperor Jingtai on the Book of Documents, he was just a child..."

"Now, Uncle Yong Xi, you can be regarded as inheriting the honor of Mr. Li Ge. It is really gratifying."

When Li Dongyang was four or five years old, because of his extraordinary talent, he was called into the palace by Emperor Jingtai as the first child prodigy of the Ming Dynasty and gave two lectures on "Shang Shu".

But this is because Li Dongyang is a child prodigy who is famous all over the world.

Zhao Ce passed the provincial examination only after he had passed the provincial examination this year.

It has basically nothing to do with child prodigy.

Even if you have to give lectures, you will only be asked to give lectures to the prince after you enter the Hanlin Academy and stay for a few years after the imperial examination. If there is an opportunity.

How could anyone issue such a decree after the end of the autumn period?

However, Zhao Ce breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that the eunuch who delivered the order was talking about arithmetic.

That’s how it turns out…

If he were asked to lecture on the "Four Books and Five Classics", he could probably turn "The Analects of Confucius" into "The Whispering Confucius" in a matter of minutes.

But when it comes to arithmetic, there are no such limitations.

After all, arithmetic was not a mainstream thing in the Ming Dynasty.

None of them, those who took the imperial examination, would delve into arithmetic.

Anyway, those whose arithmetic scores are higher than mine may not necessarily have better scores in the imperial examination.

If your imperial examination results are better than your own, your arithmetic skills will definitely not be as good as your own.

So it doesn't matter what you say when the time comes, it will all come true anyway.

Zhao Ce quickly thought about it and no longer worried.

I thanked the eunuch, invited him into the house to drink tea, and entertained him with a lot of delicious food.

Before leaving, he also told Zhao Ce to prepare the sermon in the next two days, that is, prepare the lessons, and send the sermon to other lecturers of the prince to help them revise it before giving a formal lecture.

Zhao Ce responded one by one with a smile.

The eunuch who delivered the order was satisfied and returned with the reward.

After receiving the order, Su Cai'er asked: "Husband, are we still going to visit Master's home today?"

Zhao Ce thought for a while and said, "I still have to go there."

"In a few days, I have to prepare to give lectures to the prince, and I have to ask my husband for some advice."

The family starts over again.

After getting on the carriage, Su Cai'er said incredulously: "My husband is going to teach arithmetic to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"I don't know what kind of person His Royal Highness is, whether he will be difficult to get along with."

During this period of time, Su Cai'er got along a lot with the female relatives of wealthy families in the capital.

I found that even if they are from a wealthy family like them, no matter how kind they are to you, they still have a lot of rules.

Doesn’t this His Royal Highness have more rules?

However, my husband is so powerful, I can definitely handle it.

After Su Cai'er finished speaking, she took Zhao Ce's hand and said, "But husband, there is no need to be afraid."

"When I was illiterate, my husband taught me arithmetic."

"His Royal Highness, it must not be difficult to teach."

Zhao Ce smiled and pinched her face.

"Well, don't worry."
