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

Chapter 40 The Uneasy Lady

The three of them entered the inn together, it was dinner time, but the inn's business was very average, less than half of the guests were seated at the dozen or so tables.

The three found a secluded seat and ordered food first after sitting down.

"Sir, can we order a chicken, I want to eat chicken legs," Li Xiaodao whispered to Pei Zhiqi.

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "Okay, let's just have roast chicken, and the store can report some other dishes."

Xiao Er hurriedly shouted to the back kitchen: "One of the best roast chickens!" He immediately poured hot tea for the three guests and reported the names of other dishes in the shop. .

Pei Zhiqi ordered two more meat and one vegetarian, plus a soup, and ordered three bowls of rice.

"Brother Liu, what would you like to eat?" Pei Zhiqi asked.

"I can eat anything, as long as I can eat enough," Liu Xin replied.

"That's it first, and then order when it's not enough."

Xiao Er replied politely: "Okay! Let's arrange the kitchen to serve you quickly!"

After finishing speaking, Xiaoer looked at Pei Zhiqi's sword on the table, and said, "Master, he looks like a scholar in clothes, but he is carrying a sword. It's so strange, it's the first time we've seen it!"

"In order to strengthen your body, practice casually," Pei Zhiqi replied politely.

After chatting a few words, Xiao Er went to the back kitchen to give orders, and Liu Xin also glanced at the sword bag on the table.

"Master Pei's sword, can you take a look at it?" Liu Xin asked.

Pei Zhiqi took the sword out of the sword pouch and handed it to Liu Xin, "Brother Liu, please."

Liu Xin held the sword in one hand, drew it out of its sheath, carefully admired it, nodded and said in praise: "It is made of high-quality iron, so it must be very expensive."

Li Xiaodao was very happy when he heard this, it seems that he was not fooled, he really bought a good sword.She looked at her husband happily.

"This sword is a gift from my wife, so that I can exercise more diligently." Pei Zhiqi simply replied without saying too much to people who are not familiar with her.

Liu Xin said with a smile: "There are many ways to exercise, but this one is more expensive."

Without asking any further questions, Liu Xin put the sword back into its sheath, put it in the sword pouch, and put it back to its original position.

"Brother Liu knows a lot about swords, so does he also know swordsmanship?"

Liu Xin smiled and shook his head: "Where, I'm just a driver, a rough man, never trained in martial arts, and don't know much about swordsmanship."

The three chatted for a while, and the dishes came out one by one.

After a day of driving, I finally had a good meal.

After dinner, Pei Zhiqi and Liu Xin, together with the help of the waiter, carried the luggage in the carriage into the guest room where Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao lived on the second floor of the inn.

Pei Zhiqi opened another room next to him and his wife for Liu Xin to live in.

After carrying the luggage, Liu Xin thanked him again, went into the room, closed the door, and never came out again.

After a while, there was a snoring sound from the next door.

Li Xiaodao smiled and said: "I heard that brother Liu slept so soundly, he must be exhausted during the day."

Pei Zhiqi shook his head with a smile and said, "I hope my lady can sleep peacefully later, don't be disturbed by this sound."

"If I'm really sleepy, it won't affect me, what about my husband?"

"I've always slept well," Pei Zhiqi replied.

Li Xiaodao thought about it, yes, except for the night before going home to Fucheng, my husband didn't sleep well, and got dark circles under the eyes the next day, other times when I woke up occasionally in the middle of the night, I saw him sleeping soundly of.

Xianggong sleeps very quietly and likes to lie on his right side.On the couch at home, Xianggong sleeps outside, lying on the right side is just facing the wall, and sleeps inside by himself, sometimes turning to the left, you can see Xianggong's handsome and peaceful sleeping face.

When she occasionally wakes up at night, she always has to look at it for a while, because it is so eye-catching.

While Li Xiaodao was dreaming wildly, Pei Zhiqi, who was making the bed, was very worried. Why do the beds in the inn have to be so narrow?It seems that the words about sleeping well just now may have to break his promise tonight.

He also remembered the night in Fucheng last time, and smiled helplessly.

After washing at night and going to bed, Li Xiaodao tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

It wasn't because of the snoring. There were four people in a small room in the university dormitory, and they were used to snoring.

All she felt was an inexplicable sense of uneasiness, hot ears and troubled mind, and confusion in her mind.

I hope it's not some woman's sixth sense, what's going to happen later...

Thinking about it this way, Li Xiaodao hurriedly poohed in his head again, thinking silently would not work.

Pei Zhiqi next to him fell asleep quietly at first, but when he noticed the lady beside him turn over, he woke up again.

"How's the lady? Can't sleep?" Pei Zhiqi asked softly.

"I don't know why I'm suddenly upset," Li Xiaodao said aggrievedly, "It might be because I slept too much during the day."

It must be like this. I slept too much in the car during the day, so I can't sleep now. It's not an ominous sign at all.

Apart from being with his wife, Pei Zhiqi didn't know what else to do.

"Ma'am, would you like some hot water?"

"Stop drinking, I will try to sleep for a while, and I must fall asleep!"

Li Xiaodao tried lying on his back, lying on his left side, lying on his right side, sleeping on his stomach, various positions, but he still couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.

Forget it, give up struggling, whatever, lie flat!

She pouted in the dark, angry but helpless.

Suddenly, she felt the husband next to her move.

Pei Zhiqi changed from lying on his right side to lying on his back, and asked softly: "Would you like to try to sleep holding hands like last time in Fucheng?"

Lying on the right side and then holding hands with the lady, it was too close, so he turned over and lay on his back.

Reminded by Pei Zhiqi, Li Xiaodao remembered that there is another good way.

but……

How about just holding hands?Li Xiaodao smiled wickedly.

"Msanggong, this bed is really narrow, let's fold the quilts together!"

After speaking, he acted, and before Pei Zhiqi could answer, Li Xiaodao unfolded his quilt and covered part of his husband's quilt.

"Hmm... yes", Pei Zhiqi replied in a low voice.

Then the lady pulled his hand from under the quilt like last time.

Just when he wanted to hold his wife's hand, he found that it was empty.

Li Xiaodao let go of Xianggong's hand, but hugged Pei Zhiqi's arm under the quilt, like hugging a pillow.

She rubbed her face against Xianggong's sleeves exuding a faint scent, then hugged Xianggong's arms a little tighter, and smiled, "Lend me your Xianggong's arm as a pillow tonight!"

Pei Zhiqi was so nervous that he dared not move his empty hands.

"Pillow?"

"Well, it's the pillow you hug when you sleep," Li Xiaodao explained.

There are so many new terms for ladies, Pei Zhiqi smiled slightly.

Li Xiaodao noticed that Xianggong's arm was stiff, and knew that he was nervous again, so he hugged Xianggong's arm with his left hand, and put his right hand in his palm. "Xianggong, please relax and take a deep breath. If you are so nervous, you won't be able to sleep."

Pei Zhiqi smiled helplessly: "Okay."

How did the lady know that he had silently recited to the end of the second chapter of "The Analects of Confucius".
