Chapter 31 The Shy Lady

It was late at night, but Pei Zhiqi's eyes were still piercing.

If you don't go to the provincial capital, what is the purpose of studying hard for more than ten years?
If you go to the provincial capital, first, you may put your family in danger, and second, even if you pass the exam tomorrow autumn, the lady will almost have to spend a year alone... The lady grew up in the town, her family is good, and she has never worked. The rough work of washing clothes and burning fire, she went to the provincial capital, she was lonely and hard...

Li Xiaodao, who was lying beside her, was not asleep either, she was thinking about something else.

Today I understand my feelings for my husband, so when will I cook raw rice?

Xianggong has a good character, is responsible, can support the family, and has a deep affection for herself. Now she is very relieved.

It's just that if the rice is cooked now, if there is a child, wouldn't the plot develop towards the original plot again?Calculating the time, it happened to be 10 months before and after the Xianggong exam.

In the original plot, the child was murdered to death when he was just born.

No!
According to the novel routines that my colleagues and I chatted about popular science in the past, if you want to change the original ending if you want to change the original ending, the more the plot in the process deviates from the original plot, the better.

And if there is a child before the exam, Xianggong will have one more concern, which will also affect Xianggong's studies.

Oops, what am I thinking about!Don't be ashamed!Li Xiaodao covered his face with his hands under the blanket.Is the fault of doing things vigorously and swiftly by oneself also affected in this kind of thing?
After being shy for a full second, Li Xiaodao continued to think.

Was there no safe and effective way to avoid children in ancient times?
There are many film and television dramas about Musk, but I don’t know if it is safe, and how effective is it?

It is best to find a professional doctor for this matter.

Wait, didn't your father run a medical clinic?

But the old people are looking forward to holding their grandchildren. If they want to let their parents know that they have moved their minds, they don't know whether their legs will be broken or their skin will be stripped.

It is estimated that my mother will cry, make trouble and hang herself again, hey, let's get rid of this idea.

But to find a strange doctor, there is no confidentiality agreement or industry rules and regulations in ancient times. If the medical ethics is not good, if it is said, it will be spread by the villagers again.

too difficult~
Suddenly she remembered that her mother had said that there was an elder brother who opened a medical clinic in the provincial capital.

provincial capital?

If he followed Xianggong to the provincial capital, wouldn't he be able to meet this elder brother?

Young people are always easy to communicate with, they should be able to understand their own ideas, right?
And the elder brother usually dotes on the younger sister very much.

This is not a good idea.

But before that, I had to endure it.

But it won't be long, and I'm going to the provincial capital soon!

Thinking of the solution, Li Xiaodao was so happy that he rolled over happily under the quilt——

Then I saw a man staring at the ceiling with his eyes open, with one arm resting on his forehead, thinking deeply.

She knew what Xianggong was struggling with.

She also stretched out her two arms from under the quilt, and pulled Xianggong's hand into her arms.

Caught off guard, Pei Zhiqi turned his head and said in surprise, "Mother... madam..."

"If Xianggong really didn't want to go, he would have given up a long time ago. If he is still struggling now, then he still wants to go. Just go if you want to." Li Xiaodao ignored the panic of Xianggong's hands and arms being suddenly hugged, just smiled and said: " Go to the provincial capital, Xianggong, and I will go with you too. You can rest assured to study, I can take care of myself when you are not at home."

"My lady..." Pei Zhiqi couldn't bear it.

"It's a big deal that Xianggong also wears a veiled hat. Let's be careful. Besides, Xianggong doesn't look like your parents. How can others recognize you as your parents' child." Li Xiaodao continued to reassure Xianggong.

Pei Zhiqi also turned over and lay on his side, facing Li Xiaodao, with one arm still held in the arms of the lady.

He raised his other hand to caress the white hair on the temple of the lady, but he hesitated and stopped in the air as before.

After a little hesitation, he plucked up his courage and gently brushed the lady's hair at the sideburns.

"Okay. I will tell my mother tomorrow morning that we are going to prepare for the next few days and leave for the provincial capital."

Li Xiaodao smiled and nodded at him.

"Go to sleep", Pei Zhiqi gently pulled back the arms of the lady's arms, and stuffed the two small arms of the lady's outstretched outside into the bed, tucking the corners of the quilt, "Cover the quilt, don't catch a cold."

Li Xiaodao smiled, closed his eyes gently, and soon fell asleep.

After making a decision, he stopped hesitating, and Pei Zhiqi also pulled the quilt over and got ready to sleep.

Let's talk about the rest tomorrow.

*

Early the next morning, Pei Zhiqi told his mother that he decided to take his wife to the provincial capital, and the family immediately became busy.
Going to the provincial capital is not like the prefectural city, so there are many things to prepare in advance.

First of all, go to Jinsha Town to bid farewell and tell Li Xiaodao's parents about this. .

And this time there will be a lot of luggage, not only clothes for spring, summer, autumn and winter, Pei Zhiqi's books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but also many things.It will take two or three days to pack all these luggage.

The horse-drawn carriage to the provincial capital still had to go to the town. Two people couldn’t carry so much luggage. We had to find a mule cart or ox cart in the village in advance to help pull the luggage to the town first.

Finally, we need to prepare more dry food for the provincial capital, and it will take at least five days to go to the provincial capital by horse-drawn carriage.

But it is impossible to sleep in a carriage and eat dry food every day, and you have to plan in advance where there is an inn to live in, but this coachman is familiar, so just ask the coachman for clarification.

One more thing, Pei Zhiqi left Baima Village to go to the provincial capital and would not be able to return until winter next year at least. A few students couldn't continue to take them with them, and had to greet the children's parents.

The two set off on November 21, which means that all preparations will be completed in less than ten days.

Mother Pei went to the village early in the morning to find out about the ox cart and mule cart, and asked which family drove to the market that day.

Going to Li Xiaodao's house in the town should go early, the two of them decided to go to town early the next morning, and the next day is the winter solstice, it is not suitable to go out on this day, and Li Xiaodao may not feel well in the days to come, so he won't be able to walk far road.

This morning, Pei Zhiqi sat in the study and wrote letters.

I need to write three letters of apology to the parents of the three students, and I need to write a letter of greeting to Li Xiaodao's brother. After all, they are relatives, and when I am not at home, I have to ask my brother-in-law to take care of my wife.

I have to write another letter to Qin Jin, a scholar from the neighboring village whom I met by chance on the road to Fucheng, telling him that he has gone to the provincial capital to take the entrance examination for Jingde Academy.

I also need to write some famous posts, which will be used when I go to the provincial capital to learn from teachers and make friends.

When it was almost noon, my mother came back and said that the old Yang's ox cart in the village was going to the town to go to the market that day, so she could help with the luggage.

Seeing that Pei Zhiqi was busy that day, his mother did not cook in her yard, but simply steamed brown rice mixed with rice in the kitchen of the young couple with his wife, fried two and a half meat dishes, and cooked a vegetarian soup , the three of them sat in the house and ate lunch in a hurry.

After lunch, Pei Zhiqi took three letters of apology and prepared to go to the students' homes in Baima Village and neighboring villages to say goodbye one by one.
