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

Chapter 37 Let's go to the provincial capital
"Miss? How are you... how?"

"No...it's nothing, ahem, I suddenly forgot what I wanted to say, hehehe..." Li Xiaodao smiled awkwardly with his back turned to Pei Zhiqi.

Li Xiaodao didn't say those words that night.

She sighed in her heart. Before, she was energetically planning to cook cooked rice with her husband, but today she is going on stage, but she can't even say that she likes you.

Thunder is loud and rain is little, how can this work?
Fortunately, my husband didn't ask any more questions, otherwise I would lose my life.

Next time, next time I must say it.

"Lady go to bed earlier, tomorrow I will wake up earlier than usual," Pei Zhiqi said softly, seeing that the lady refused to turn around, lying flat on her back.

"Well, good night, Xianggong~" Li Xiaodao wanted to sleep with his head half covered by the quilt, but remembering that Xianggong said that sleeping like this is not good, he stuck his little head out of the quilt, thought wildly for a while, and fell asleep.

On the morning of departure, I got up early, and the big roosters in the village hadn't gotten up and crowed yet.

In the past, I still feel sleepy when I wake up late, but I am not sleepy when I wake up so early.

After washing, Li Xiaodao sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Pei Zhiqi brushed her hair slowly with a comb.

Li Xiaodao was gradually able to pull out a simple bun, but Xianggong still insisted on helping her comb it every day.

She let her husband do the combing. Anyway, the husband combs it much more beautifully than her, and he will change some new tricks.

Pei Zhiqi combed a little slower than usual today, he sighed softly while combing: "From today on, my lady will follow me around, it will be very hard..."

Li Xiaodao smiled and said: "What did Mr. Xianggong say? We are called drifting in the provincial capital. We drift outside just to break new ground. There is no such thing as hard work in this world. The more you are afraid of the hard work, the harder you think about it. It’s refreshing to work hard.”

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said: "As expected of a lady, talking with her can always clear away the haze." After Pei Zhiqi combed her hair, she put the hairpin back on and said softly to the lady: "Okay."

Li Xiaodao touched the meticulously beautiful hair bun on her head, the hairpin was just right, she was satisfied with looking left and right, and got up from the mirror when she had seen enough.

Mother Pei boiled water early, filled two water bags, and packed the dry food made yesterday into a small bag separately.

The three of them worked together to carry the luggage out of the yard before Lao Yang's ox cart arrived, and put them all on the side of the road. There were three large bamboo boxes and one small bamboo box in the front and back.

According to Li Xiaodao's instructions, Xianggong's sword and his own dagger are all on his body.

Before the old Yang family came over after moving things, Mother Pei steamed salty and fresh radish cake in the morning, and put some dried shrimp in it, and steamed the leftover dumplings from yesterday, and cooked a pot of eight-treasure porridge, warming the three of them. Warm up and have breakfast.

Not long after breakfast, the ox cart of Old Yang's family arrived. Apart from the old man Yang who was driving the cart, there were also a few people from the village who also went to the market together behind the cart, talking and laughing by the side of the road.

Mother Pei, Pei Zhiqi, and Li Xiaodao hurried out of the courtyard. Mother Pei greeted Old Man Yang and thanked him for his willingness to help.

"What's the matter, I don't have a lot of things in this car, and if I don't help Mr. Xiucai pull things, it will be empty if it is empty." Old man Yang smiled honestly, and wrinkles formed at the corners of his eyes.

The villagers helped to load the boxes on the floor of the bullock cart, and old man Yang tied a few ropes around the outside to prevent the boxes from slipping.

Pei Zhiqi put the dry food and water bag on the car floor, and carried the sword on his back.

It's time to say goodbye to my mother.

Pei Zhiqi bowed deeply to his mother, saluted and said: "Mother, the child is leaving now, you and father must take care of your health, and when we settle down in the provincial capital, we will write back the address as soon as possible, mother remembers the past Go to the provincial capital to join us."

Li Xiaodao also bowed to Pei's mother: "Mother and father, take care, my husband is right, you and father must remember to come to the provincial capital."

Mother Pei's face was kind, with reluctance in her eyes, she held Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao's hands together, and said softly: "When you two arrive in the provincial capital, be careful in everything, and don't force yourself to avoid many disasters. Live a good life..." As he spoke, his eyes were a little red.

The young couple nodded and agreed seriously.

"Let's go, don't go to the town again, I'm afraid there will be no car to rent when it's late, let's start earlier." Mother Pei let go of the two hands and urged them to leave quickly.

The two saluted their mother again, and then turned around and followed beside the ox cart.

Old man Yang blew his whip, and the small team headed for Jinsha Town set off.

The ox cart carried luggage and walked slowly. It only had the function of saving labor but not time. Others walked beside the ox cart, chatting while walking.

Li Xiaodao looked back after walking a few steps. Under the deep blue and vast sky, the familiar courtyard was gradually drifting away.

Not long after walking, all I could see was a thin figure still standing at the gate of the courtyard. The two big red lanterns on the gate that Pei's mother had specially hung up this morning were always brightly lit, and the candles were flickering, shining brightly in the dark sky Hui.

"Miss, be careful where you step." Seeing Li Xiaodao keep turning his head, Pei Zhiqi said with concern.

"Well. It hasn't been long, how come home is so far away?" Li Xiaodao was a little sad.

Pei Zhiqi didn't say anything to persuade her, but only stretched out a hand, Li Xiaodao put her little hand into the big one of the husband, and the two walked together holding hands, walking steadily.

"I said, let's go to the market with Mr. Xiucai today, so we can get a little bookish!" An old lady with a basket on her shoulders laughed.

Not long after leaving Pei's house, several villagers who went to the market together began chatting enthusiastically, and the sad atmosphere of parting before was driven away by the fiery chatter.

"Why don't you count! What a coincidence we're in this episode! It just happened to be a day out with Mr. Xiucai!" Another aunt replied.

"Come on, Aunt Wang! Didn't you just go to the market a few days ago, why are you here again today? Could it be that you want to go with Mr. Xiucai?"

The aunt of the Wang family blushed and said loudly: "I forgot to buy something a few days ago, and I have to make up for it today! Why, dare you not want to chat with Mr. Xiucai? If Mr. Xiucai is admitted to Juren, I see that you are all jealous of the 100 mu of tax-free land! Now the [-] mu of tax-free land of the Xiucai public house is given to the poor families in the village at such a low price, and it will be an extra one hundred Mu, maybe it will be our turn!"

Li Xiaodao looked up at Pei Zhiqi, Pei Zhiqi shook his head with a smile, didn't speak, just led the lady to walk quietly.

"Look, Mr. Xiucai didn't even answer your questions. I think you want to fetch water from a bamboo basket!" Another person interrupted with a smile. Everyone roared with laughter.

A lady from an unknown family said: "Aunt Wang, did you have more mouths than a lady who was a scholar when you were doing laundry by the river? Hey, little lady of the Pei family, don't worry about it. Aunt Wang is a good person, just care I can't hold back her mouth," he said and laughed.

Hearing this, Li Xiaodao smiled politely: "I wash clothes far away, so I haven't heard any gossip."

"Aunt Wang, look at her! As expected of Mrs. Xiucai's wife, she speaks so decently! You have to learn a little bit, huh? Haha..." Everyone laughed again.

Aunt Wang blushed and said forcefully: "What's wrong with you can't control your mouth, look at the thin bamboo pole daughter-in-law next door to Lao Yang's house, she talks so viciously all day long that the widow opposite her house seduces her husband with makeup and makeup. She looked like she had never been in touch with each other. When the farming season was busy, she saw that the widow was pitiful. She took the child with her seven or eight acres of land and couldn't harvest it in time. Do you understand well?"

"Then next spring, Aunt Wang will come to my house to help!"

"That's right! I don't have much family either! Come to my house to help!"

Everyone laughed again.

Li Xiaodao looked at Xianggong, and then smiled.

It took less than half an hour to travel from Baima Village to Jinsha Town. Listening to the villagers chatting and laughing, it seemed that the journey was much faster.

When a group of people rushed to the town, it was just dawn.
