On the way back to the city, I heard from the boatmen that there are now officials patrolling along the way every day.

Not long before they set out, two yamen were departing on a boat.

Zhao Ce and others all guessed that after the last incident, after the prefect Zhang County Magistrate mentioned the situation to the prefect, Prefect Cui sent someone to patrol every day to protect the safety of these students who returned home.

In this way, their journey was naturally no surprise.

The monks in the temple still remembered Zhao Ce when they were standing in the middle.

He was also extremely enthusiastic towards everyone.

On the second day, the group returned to the familiar dock.

A servant from the Wu family went back in advance to report the good news on the day the results were released.

Therefore, now we have prepared the carriages and horses in advance and waited on the dock.

Seeing his servant, Wu Xueli asked quickly: "Mr. Li is back?"

The servant shook his head and said, "I have never seen Mr. Li."

Wu Xueli glanced at Zhao Ce and the others, feeling helpless.

They came back to celebrate, but the gentleman was not here, and I always felt that something was missing.

Zhao Ce said: "Sir, I left an address when I was in the capital city. After I went back to settle down, would you please ask me?"

Wu Xueli nodded and said, "We should catch up."

"You will receive the good news tomorrow or the next day before you can hold it. I will ask my father to book a banquet first."

"I'll make sure it is then done, and I'll let you tell me."

Zhao Ce said, "Then I'll trouble you first. I'll go out of the city tomorrow. I'll visit the county master at that time."

After Wu Xueli and his friends took the exam for scholars, they also wanted to visit the magistrate of Zhang County. Thank you for your achievements in education.

However, Wu Xueli, a scholar, was so excited that he forgot about this matter for a moment.

He scratched his head and said, "If you don't say it, I've forgotten."

Qiu Shubai next to him also said with great enthusiasm: "Brother Xueli is not afraid. I will go to your mansion tomorrow and call you and go there together."

After Zhao Ce and the two agreed on the time, they took Su Caier to a carriage alone.

After arriving near the county town, the two teams parted ways.

With the experience from last time, when he arrived in the village, Zhao Ce slowed down the coachman.

When the people in the village saw the carriage, they immediately shouted in a conditioned manner: "Is Zhao Ce back?"

"It should be that the scholar is back!"

Although they have not received the good news of Zhao Ce's ranking for the time being, the name of Zhao Ce is basically not going to be there, and it has already spread in the village.

Now that I saw the carriage, I immediately realized that it was Zhao Ce who was back.

Since Zhao Ce is back, he should be a real scholar this time!

The people from the village gathered around.

For safety, the coachman quickly pulled the horse to stop.

Zhao Ce lifted the curtain from inside and greeted, "Hello everyone. I'm back."

"It's really Zhao Ce! He is the scholar in our village!"

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "I'll go home first and invite everyone to have a meal to celebrate later."

As the first scholar in the village, he was the existence of glorious ancestors.

So as soon as Zhao Ce spoke, everyone quickly made way.

After the coachman sent them back, Zhao Youcai and Li took their men and waited directly outside his house.

Last time they had no experience, so that Zhao Ce and the others came back, and they rushed over after hearing the news.

Now they count their days and come to Zhao Ce’s home to wait for almost the time.

I finally got the wait today.

After Zhao Ce got off the car, he carried Su Caier down and saw Zhao Youcai's family and the clans in the village were all there.

Uncle San was excited and asked first: "Have you passed the exam? What's the ranking?"

The second uncle next to him also held his ears and listened hard.

Zhao Ce replied with a smile: "Uncle San, I passed the exam."

Zhao Ce's voice was not loud, and his second uncle couldn't hear it clearly.

Zhao Qingsong beside him shouted loudly: "Second uncle, Zhao Ce has passed the exam and is now a real scholar!"

The second uncle showed a smile with only a few teeth left: "I'm done, Master Scholar, okay!"

Then Zhao Qingsong heard again, and the third uncle continued to ask, "What is the ranking?"

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "It's still the first one."

Zhao Qingsong shouted again, "The ranking is still the first!"

"Ah? First!"

Zhao Qingsong's eyes widened and looked at Zhao Ce in disbelief.

Everyone present also opened their mouths and showed a look of surprise on their faces.

Zhao Youcai came to his senses and asked directly: "Is this the first one again?"

Zhao Ce smiled and affirmed: "Yes, uncle."

"It's the first again, the first in the third exam. I'm the little Sanyuan in this children's exam."

After a pause, Zhao Ce said with a little complacent tone: "I heard that our city has not paid a small three yuan for hundreds of years."

"Hundreds of years..."

Everyone who heard it was stunned.

Zhao Wenhao, who was standing beside him, lost his voice: "So you said nothing wrong before. You are really Wenquxing descending to earth!"

Zhao Ce smiled.

Zhao Youcai and Li immediately danced.

Li quickly said, "Ce'er and the others have just returned, so they must be very tired. Let them enter the house first."

"I have had someone cook noodles in the room, and I can eat it when I go in."

After saying that, Li went forward and took Su Caier's hand to look up and down.

Su Caier also shouted obediently: "Old man."

Li said happily: "Okay."

After the two were welcomed into the house, Li took Zhao Wenli and brought two bowls of noodles together.

"When I went home to eat a bowl of noodles, the ties came back."

Zhao Ce ate noodles directly in the main hall, and a bunch of uncles and young people surrounded him.

Su Caier followed Li and the others to the kitchen to eat.

While Zhao Ce was eating, Zhao Youcai was happily planning what he wanted to do with the people next to him.

"You have to worship your ancestors and tell them this good news."

"By the way, we wrote it by the previous village chief, and now it's old and the handwriting is not good."

"I have to buy a new one and let Ce'er copy the previous ones themselves and add his name."

"In the future, I will use this family tree that is filled with the blessings of Wenquxing, so that the children in our village will definitely have a future!"

"If you have a banquet, you can come and eat it in all places."

"The day after tomorrow, please inform me if you go to the surrounding villages tomorrow."

This is the first scholar in their village, and it is also the first "little three yuan" in the third exam.

If it were the past, they would never dare to think about this achievement!

But now, they don’t have to think about it at all, and their grades are placed in front of them.

Zhao Youcai and his group were extremely proud.

I even want to share the good news with people from all over the countryside.

After Zhao Ce finished eating the noodles, Zhao Youcai told Zhao Ce about this arrangement.

Zhao Ce smiled and said, "Tomorrow morning, I have to leave the city to thank Lord Zun of County."
Chapter completed!
