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

Chapter 24 Some Music
But judging from my husband's reaction, it's definitely not the first time I've asked for it, it should be a frequent request, and my husband is already used to it.

"Mother can also read?" She asked casually.

Unexpectedly, Pei's mother hesitated to answer: "Ah no...it's not me, I can't read, the old man can read, he likes to read, but he doesn't like to talk, so I asked for it for him", after that, he looked at Pei's father. glance.

Father Pei nodded in affirmation.

Hey, being a father is always so desperate to save face and suffer, not to talk to the children well, Li Xiaodao said that he understands very well, he also has such a father in his family.

While Xianggong was going to get the article, Li Xiaodao was chatting with Pei's father and mother, and at the same time thinking about whether to tell the two old people about being followed in the deep alley at night in Fucheng. She looked at the two old people who were happy to see their son and daughter-in-law returning home safely I always feel like I can't open my mouth.

It's better to find an opportunity another day, so I won't be a disappointment today.

After a while, Pei Zhiqi returned to the room with the articles. The two articles were rolled together into a thin tube and tied with a red string.He handed the paper tube to his mother: "Parents, please have a look. These are the two articles I wrote recently."

Mother Pei put the article away, nodded with a smile, "It's okay, we two won't bother you, hurry up and eat while it's hot, and go to bed early after dinner."

Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao watched the two old men go back to their yard, and then came back and sat down at the table.

After a day of running around, their stomachs were empty, and the two ate up the hot rice sent by Pei's mother.

After eating, Pei Zhiqi took the initiative to clean up the bowl, and was going to take it back to his mother after washing.

Li Xiaodao knew that Xianggong might take the opportunity of delivering the bowl to ask him what he wanted to ask, so he stopped him: "Sir, let's not talk about it tonight, the two old people are very happy, and it's not too late to find an opportunity to ask another day."

Xianggong nodded and smiled at her: "Don't worry, lady, I know what's in mind. Just leave this matter to me, lady don't have to worry about it. If you ask about the result, I will inform you in time."

Pei Zhiqi didn't speak tonight, he came back after delivering the bowl.

After returning, he did not enter the room, but went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of hot water.

Li Xiaodao saw that Xianggong hadn't entered the house for a long time, and ran out to take a look, only to find that Xianggong was busy in the kitchen.

She quietly walked into the kitchen to see what Xianggong was busy with, but she didn't expect her to be discovered by her stepping lightly.

Pei Zhiqi turned his head and smiled at Li Xiaodao: "Madam, do you want to take a bath? Madam has been working hard these days, I've boiled hot water, let's take a hot bath and relax."

Li Xiaodao squatted in front of the stove with Xianggong, and she added a handful of firewood to the stove: "Xianggong, go wash it first, I will boil water here, I can't light a fire, but I can add firewood."

"This...it's better for the lady to wash first, and then she can rest early."

Li Xiaodao shook his head: "Today, my husband must be washed first. My husband always takes care of me and lets me go. Today I will also take care of my husband. Use the hot water first, and I will boil a pot myself later."

"This..." Pei Zhiqi had a difficult time, he didn't want his wife to do these menial jobs that he had never done in his natal family.

Li Xiaodao snatched the firewood in his hand, "Go, go! Go! Wash early and rest early, and I will make delicious food for me tomorrow!"

Pei Zhiqi smiled, "That's good."

He ladled the hot water into the small bucket, filled the pot with cold water, and then carried the bucket into the small bathing house.

The firewood in the stove was burning very vigorously, and there were a few crackling sounds from time to time. Li Xiaodao added a piece of firewood occasionally, while watching the tongue of fire licking the bottom of the pot, dazed.

It was already late at night when both of them took a bath and went to bed to rest.

The couch at home was spacious, and the two of them were tired from traveling all the way, and they both slept soundly.

*

Early in the morning, Li Xiaodao was still in a sweet dream, and she felt rustling around her. When she woke up, she was still sleepy, and saw her husband get up and put on his clothes.

"Why did Mr. Xiang wake up so early..." She muttered inarticulately in the bed, as if she was still half asleep.

"I woke up my lady, it's time to stand up and practice sword. Take a rest, my lady, I can practice by myself today," Pei Zhiqi said softly with an apologetic face.

Li Xiaodao rolled back and forth in the bed, trying to wake himself up quickly.

Finally, when she was almost finished struggling in bed, she sat up slowly, shook her head, and said sonorously: "Let's go! Let's go to morning exercises! Keep fit! Serve the motherland!"

Pei Zhiqi felt that the lady was still awake, and she was talking nonsense again that he didn't understand.

After five days, the two returned to their small yard.

Pei Zhiqi is already very proficient now, so he doesn't need Li Xiaodao's reminder. Before exercising, he should do warm-up and do stretching according to the lady's instructions.

"I always feel that something is missing," Li Xiaodao muttered while warming up with Xianggong.

I also felt that something was missing in the first two months, but I didn't think about it at that time, but I suddenly thought of it today.

The less thing is music.

In the past, when exercising, I either wore headphones or turned on the stereo, and it was always accompanied by music, which had a sense of rhythm.

"Sir, is there anything that can beat the rhythm? It should be loud and powerful," she asked Pei Zhiqi, who was stretching her legs, while turning her ankle.

Pei Zhiqi thought about it carefully, and replied, "Then there are only drums and gongs."

Li Xiaodao imagined Pei Zhiqi doing exercises while beating gongs and drums, and burst out laughing.

Not knowing why, Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "Why are you laughing, lady?"

"No...it's nothing, I just thought of a funny picture in my head." After Li Xiaodao explained, he immediately dismissed the idea.

But if you live in a big courtyard in a mountain village, you can play drums by yourself, right?Playing drums will not disturb the people, and it relieves stress, which seems to be good.

As a full-level member of a music app, listening to music is just what you need, and you can't do without some music.

"Can Mr. Xiang play the piano?" Li Xiaodao asked suddenly.

"With a little knowledge of palace business, a gentleman has to learn the six arts, but it's been a long time since I finished learning." Pei Zhiqi was a little surprised, why did the lady suddenly ask about the piano art.

"Oh? The six arts of a gentleman? What are they?" Li Xiaodao asked curiously. She hadn't really paid attention to this aspect of knowledge before.

Pei Zhiqi patiently explained to the lady: "The six arts of a gentleman include ritual, music, archery, imperialism, calligraphy, and mathematics."

"My husband can also drive and shoot arrows? Does he know how to ride a horse?"

Pei Zhiqi nodded, "Know how to ride".

"Great! Then if conditions permit, we will definitely buy a horse," Li Xiaodao said excitedly.

"Okay," Pei Zhiqi replied with a smile.

He also wants to ride a horse and take his wife to gallop in the mountains and enjoy the spring and autumn.

"Is there a piano in Xianggong's house? If so, can you play it for me when you have time? I really want to hear Xianggong play the piano!"

"Yes, it is locked in the cabinet. If I have free time someday, I will play it and listen to my wife."

"Great!" Li Xiaodao was very happy to finally be able to hear the music again.

After the chat was over and the warm-up was about the same, Li Xiaodao took out the sword manual again, Pei Zhiqi held the sword in one hand, and listened to the lady's detailed explanation of the movements to be practiced today.

A ray of morning sun shone into the yard, and the sky in the distance gradually brightened.
