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

Chapter 47 Arrived at the provincial capital!A scary man?

The rest of the journey went smoothly, but it got colder and colder as we got closer to the provincial capital.

After all, I have been going north, and it will be the twelfth lunar month in a few days.

Li Xiaodao had already changed into a thicker winter coat, and he had to wrap a cloak in the carriage. Even so, his hands and feet were cold every day.Even if the soup was poured before departure, it didn't take long for the mother-in-law to cool down. There was no hot water on the road.

Xianggong just added an extra piece of clothing, but his hands were always warm.

Liu Xin planned very precisely and was very experienced in driving the carriage. At noon on the fifth day, the carriage arrived at the south gate of the outer city of the provincial capital on time.

"Brother Pei, Miss Li, the provincial capital is here. Outsiders need to register outside the city gate first, so you can register first with the guidepost, and I will wait for you here. After the registration is complete, I will take you to the place where you will settle—" , Liu Xin sat in the driver's seat and said loudly towards the back.

"Okay, thank you Brother Liu—" Pei Zhiqi replied, then stood up and opened the small bamboo box, took out the bundle, and took out two guides.

Pei Zhiqi took Lu Yin into his arms, got out of the carriage, and then stretched out his hand to help the lady get off the carriage.

"Ma'am, let's register."

"Wait," Li Xiaodao took off the bamboo hat with gauze to cover his face that he took out of the bamboo box in advance this morning and handed it to Xianggong, "Just in case, Xianggong should wear it. When we go to the city to inquire about the recent If no capital official enters the city, Mr. Xiang will take it off again."

The scholar originally wore a square scarf and a green shirt, but now he wears a bamboo hat with gauze on his head, which is conspicuous and strange, but what the lady said is reasonable, it is always right to be careful in everything.

Pei Zhiqi nodded, took the hat and put it on, and Li Xiaodao also took the veiled cap and was helped out of the carriage by the husband. After she put on the veiled cap, she walked towards the registration place with him.

The registration place is easy to identify, because not only is there a long queue, but there are also officers and soldiers who keep yelling at the side: "For those who come to the provincial capital from other places-come here to register first-you can enter the city after you are registered-"

Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi stood one behind the other, at the end of the line.

It's just noon now, and there are a lot of people entering the city. Li Xiaodao looked at the team that had turned at least eight or nine turns in front, and then saw that there were only two tables and two people in the registration shed at the end of the line. It takes about an hour to get their turn, which is half an hour.

She turned around to talk to Xianggong, but found that her eyes were blocked by the light veil of Xianggong's bamboo hat, so she couldn't hold back her laughter.

"Sanggong, if you carry the sword on your back later, you will be dressed like a hero in a storybook novel! Hmm... the man left home early ~ walking around the world with a sword~" Li Xiaodao teased with a smile.

Pei Zhiqi shook his head and smiled softly: "My lady, don't make fun of me anymore."

Fortunately, the registration process was quite fast. Li Xiaodao tiptoed to see the situation ahead, as if he was checking the road guide, and then asked a few words, wrote down the name and history, and let him go.

Queuing is boring, Xianggong is wearing a bamboo hat and can’t talk to him privately, Li Xiaodao can only look around to relieve boredom, observe the clothes of the people queuing into the city, guess what their occupations are, and what are they when they line up together relation……

When I can't see clearly through the veiled hood and it's not satisfying, I will lift the veil a little to peek at it.

Suddenly her eyes fell on a man in front of the line. The man was tall, wearing tight clothes, with two short knives pinned to his waist, with high cheekbones and a narrow chin. His eyes were so fierce that Li Xiaodao could not help but strike I shuddered.

Those eyes looked like they had been on the battlefield and killed people, and they were out of tune with the eyes of other people around them.

Fearing that the man would notice, Li Xiaodao hastily withdrew his gaze, pretending to be looking at other places, and pulled the curtain tightly.

"Xiang... Xianggong..." Li Xiaodao moved closer to Xianggong, "Look at that person... so scary..."

Through the veil, Pei Zhiqi roughly saw the direction the lady was pointing, and at a glance, he saw a person with very special clothes and appearance.

"Miss, don't look any further if you are afraid. After all, people who enter the city have different identities, so it's better to be cautious," Pei Zhiqi said softly to the lady while facing the front without looking sideways.

"Okay..." Li Xiaodao followed his husband's instructions, put away his curiosity, and stood quietly in line.

After a while, when Li Xiaodao felt that he was about to fall asleep standing up, there was a commotion in front of the team.

All I could hear was the official in charge of registration speaking very politely to a person with a smiling face.

"Oh, it's the steward from the Fuguo Prince's Mansion...Why didn't you say it earlier! You don't need to line up, please come here, please come here and show me your badge, why don't you stand here and wait in line ..."

The steward of the prince's mansion?Could it be Manager Li?
Li Xiaodao listened to the sentence in a daze, then raised his head and looked carefully.

It wasn't Guanshi Li, it was the man with fierce eyes just now!That man is also the steward of Prince Fuguo's mansion?

That's right, how could there be only one steward in such a big palace.

Li Xiaodao saw that the official in charge of registration dropped the people waiting in line, and personally sent the man to the gate of the city, and turned back after explaining.The man didn't say a word the whole time, his expression was very cold.

It's too scary, I don't want to deal with this kind of person in my life, Li Xiaodao was thinking wildly in his heart.

He is also the steward of Prince Fuguo's mansion. Although steward Li is a bit domineering because of his master's position, at least he is round and has a big black mole next to his mouth. He looks a little naive. This man is... Really Isn't he a killer raised by the palace?
Li Xiaodao let out a "hiss—" and hurriedly ordered himself not to think of that man again, it was too scary.

After queuing for a while, it was finally Li Xiaodao's and Pei Zhiqi's turn.

They both presented directions to the registration officer.

"He's from Jinsha Town, what are you doing in the provincial capital?"

"Come to study," Pei Zhiqi replied.

"Which academy?" the official asked again.

"Jingde Academy."

"Oh, who do you want to go to when you come to the city? How do you settle down?"

"In the words of my lord, my brother who went to my place, named Li Xiaoxin, is a doctor who runs a medical clinic in the provincial capital," Li Xiaodao replied.

"Registration is complete, you two go into the city, remember to ask the coachman to show his badge at the gate of the city."

The officials returned Lu Yin and let them go.

After registering, Li Xiaodao waved to Liu Xin, and Liu Xin drove the car to the gate of the city to meet the two of them.

Li Xiaodao raised his head and glanced at the tall city gate, feeling a little emotional for a moment.

I don't know what kind of life will be like in the next year behind this door?

Heh, don't think so far ahead, just worry about whether you can recognize your brother who doesn't even know his face!

The three of them entered the city smoothly, Liu Xin showed the guards their badges, Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi showed the guide again, and the guards at the gate let them go.

But after entering the city gate, Li Xiaodao was in trouble.

After the three of them entered the gate with a carriage, they found an unobstructed place near the city gate and stopped, waiting for Li Xiaodao's own brother.

Li Xiaodao first looked around, but no one stopped her, and no one waved to her.

"Mother said that my brother would wait for us at the south gate of the outer city, but..."

She really couldn't recognize him, she really didn't know what her brother looked like at all.

But brother should know her, right?She had already wandered around the gate of the city three times, but no one called her to recognize her.

"Don't worry, lady," Pei Zhiqi comforted her, "Maybe brother is delayed by something, let's wait here."

"Um……"
