The daily routine of wearing a book and abusing literature to cultivate a scholar and Xiaoxianggong

Chapter 17 The Shadow in the Alley
"This is Manager Li of the Fuguo Prince's Mansion," Li Xiaodao whispered to Xianggong.

Pei Zhiqi hurriedly stood up, bowed in a salute, and said, "Hello Mr. Li."

After all, he was an old steward, and his surprise only stayed in steward Li's eyes for a short moment, and then he immediately returned to his usual indifferent gaze.

Seeing Pei Zhiqi making the salute, Steward Li hurriedly got up and helped him up: "Please, please, please, please, don't be so polite", looking rather respectful.

It's completely different from his attitude towards Zhu Xiaosheng, the deputy promotion.Li Xiaodao looked at it and wondered in his heart.

Manager Li wanted to ask something else, just as Zhu Xiaosheng had just returned from the inspection of the cargo ship and the tax-paid goods.

"Master Zhu—!" Li Xiaodao waved happily, she could finally get the money!

Zhu Xiaosheng called for someone to give Li Xiaodao a tael of silver, and said with a smile, "You have worked hard for the girl today, and I hope the girl will be here on time tomorrow."

Li Xiaodao took Xianggong and told Zhu Xiaosheng: "Master Zhu, can I bring Xianggong tomorrow? I want Xianggong to write for me. His handwriting is beautiful, and I will never let you go wrong."

Zhu Xiaosheng looked at Pei Zhiqi who was beside Li Xiaodao, and Pei Zhiqi hurriedly cooperated with his wife and bowed his hands and declared his family: "Pei Zhiqi, Xiaosheng, is Xuancheng's 20-year-old student."

Zhu Xiaosheng laughed and said: "Since you are a scholar, ghostwriting is naturally not a problem, then you two come together tomorrow!"

Li Xiaodao looked at her husband happily, and Pei Zhiqi smiled back at her.

"It's getting late today, come here first, I'll find a carriage to send the two back!" Zhu Xiaosheng said to the two of them.

"No need, no need! Thank you Lord Zhu, we will stroll back slowly by ourselves, Lord Zhu!" Li Xiaodao waved to Zhu Xiaosheng, and finally remembered that this was not the way to say goodbye in ancient times. Go back with Xianggong.

Pei Zhiqi hurriedly bowed to Zhu Xiaosheng and said goodbye, and was dragged away by the lady.

Zhu Xiaosheng looked at the backs of the two gradually walking away, and shook his head with a smile.I don't know which parent would let the girl learn the Fan language but not teach her the Four Books and Five Classics. She is so good at learning the Fan language that she is not as fluent in government affairs as she is, but she can't write a single Chinese character?Really strange.

How would Zhu Xiaosheng know that Li Xiaodao does not know how to write Chinese characters, but that all she knows are modern simplified characters, and she has not yet been proficient in writing traditional characters with a brush.

Li Xiaodao held Pei Zhiqi's hand and walked down the street while wandering.

Holding each other's hands becomes more and more natural, like holding a very familiar person.

Xianggong's palm is wide and warm, and his hand is held in his palm, which is warm and reassuring.

Tomorrow I can stay with Xianggong and work together, I am very happy to think about it.

Li Xiaodao smiled unconsciously.

When she was happy, she suddenly thought of something very important.

"Oops, Xianggong, I forgot to ask you if you have any other arrangements for tomorrow. I made up my own mind and told Master Zhu that I would go to work with you in the Shibo Company tomorrow... that's too bad..."

Pei Zhiqi looked at the lady with a smile, shook her head and replied, "It's okay, I originally wanted to take the lady around tomorrow. Since the lady has found a good job, then I will accompany the lady."

"Isn't Xianggong going to participate in any poetry and literary society?"

"Need not."

Li Xiaodao frowned and said, "Xianggong doesn't participate in the poetry and literary gatherings of his classmates. How can I ask more about the township examination?"

Pei Zhiqi smiled and replied: "There are not many students who came to see the teacher today, and everyone left in a hurry after lunch, there was no poetry meeting. However, the teacher stopped me before leaving today and said that he wrote a letter of recommendation for me and recommended me. Go to Jingde Academy in the provincial capital."

"Is this academy famous?"

"Yeah. Not only did he pass the township examination, but he was also awarded the champion. It is a very famous academy."

"Great!" Li Xiaodao jumped up happily.The matter of Xianggong's study and apprenticeship has finally come to an end.

Ahem, jumping up and down on the street seems to be insulting, Li Xiaodao hurriedly straightened his clothes with the other hand, put on the curtain and hat, and regained his restraint.

Pei Zhiqi held the lady's hand tightly. The lady was very happy, and so was he.

After being happy, Li Xiaodao thought about it and sighed: "Now there is only one thing left to do to persuade my parents. As long as my parents agree, my husband can go to the provincial capital to study."

Pei Zhiqi's eyes were firm: "Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to convince my parents."

"Ah."

Li Xiaodao turned his face away, with a worried look on his face from an angle that Pei Zhiqi couldn't see.

Don't be afraid, we will definitely survive the danger.

"Master?"

"What happened to the lady?"

"What shall we have for dinner?"

"We walked back slowly, strolling while walking, and we would eat whatever the lady wanted to eat."

"it is good!"

At the end of the dinner, Pei Zhiqi brought Li Xiaodao to a restaurant, where he ate the famous meat soup and ordered a plate of steamed sea bass.

Li Xiaodao was very satisfied.

It’s time to eat and drink. Anyway, if you make money, don’t treat yourself badly.

When he returned to the inn, it was already dark, and Li Xiaodao walked around in front of Pei Zhiqi and entered the door of the inn.

"Xiang Gong, hurry up ~ my legs are so tired, I finally arrived at the inn, you can rest!"

She turned around and wanted to look back to see if Xianggong was following, but when she turned around, she not only saw Xianggong who had just stepped in the door, but also seemed to see a dark shadow flashing behind him hundreds of paces away from Xianggong. , dodged into the next alley!
Li Xiaodao turned pale with fright, and was afraid that she would be shocked by the grass, so she hurriedly covered her mouth and turned her head, pretending that she didn't see the figure just now.

Seeing Madam Yu Kai's sudden panic, Pei Zhiqi walked up to Li Xiaodao and asked with concern, "What's wrong with you, Madam? Why are you so nervous?"

Li Xiaodao covered his mouth and shook his head at Pei Zhiqi, silently pulling Pei Zhiqi upstairs.

In the room on the second floor, after Li Xiaodao closed the window and door, he whispered in Pei Zhiqi's ear: "Xiang Gong, I seem to have seen a shadow behind you just now, and as soon as I turned around, the shadow flashed into the alley beside you. Li. Xianggong..."

The more Li Xiaodao spoke, the more frightened she became, and she remembered what her colleague had said.

The male protagonist was killed by a gangster before he could pass the exam.

Li Xiaodao stared at Pei Zhiqi with panicked eyes, her cold hands tightly grasping the hands of the handsome man in front of her.

For her now, Pei Zhiqi is no longer simply the word "male protagonist".

He is a gentle and considerate husband who is also a good cook, and respects himself very much.

He is tolerant and firm-willed, and his articles and characters are beautifully written; he was born in a feudal environment, but he understands that he is not a houseworker but loves reading. He is also willing to share with himself articles discussing the imperial examinations, and he also Can tolerate their weird parents.

They lived together for more than two months, getting along day and night, and the days were dull and happy.

The man in front of him seemed to have become a part of his life.

It would be great if there were no abuse plots, why wasn't the book that I traveled through a sweet text?

The more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and Li Xiaodao's eyes turned red.
