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

Chapter 6 Give Your Son-in-Law a Pulse
After a short rest, Li Xiaodao and Xianggong were called by their mother to the courtyard to recognize their relatives. The children running around bowed to the new son-in-law to beg for red envelopes, and Pei Zhiqi gave them one by one with a smile.

After recognizing the relatives, the banquet started. The lunch was lively and lively, except for Li Xiaodao's father.

"There are a lot of people with bad stomachs these days, and the clinic is too busy. Your father said he will come back sometime in the afternoon, so there is no need to wait for him!"

Naturally, the host's family had a table alone, and Li Xiaodao's wife treated her son-in-law thoughtfully, with good food, meat and expensive seafood, but it was unavoidable to have a few drinks with relatives.

Pei Zhiqi seldom drank alcohol, a few glasses would be overwhelming, and it was his limit to last a full meal. After the banquet, Li Xiaodao took him back to his room, and after drinking the hangover soup brought by the cook, Pei Zhiqi fell asleep.

After drinking, he didn't talk nonsense or yell, just fell asleep silently, the wine was not bad.

Li Xiaodao looked at Xianggong's sleeping face and smiled slightly.

Around the time, a middle-aged man dressed as a doctor knocked on the door and entered Li Xiaodao's room.

"Father..." Li Xiaodao just wanted to get up to say hello, but his father let out a "shh-" to signal her to be quiet and not to wake up her son-in-law.

Li Xiaodao was about to be moved by his father's thoughtfulness, the next moment his father sat by the bed, pulled Pei Zhiqi's wrist, and gave him a pulse.

After taking the pulse for a long time, he turned his son-in-law's face over again, pinched his chin and neck, rolled his eyelids, and checked around.

In the end, he stroked his blue beard, nodded, and said to Li Xiaodao's mother who followed behind: "His pulse condition is stable, his internal organs are in harmony, he is not weak or dry, and he is in good health. It seems that his daughter will not be widowed because of his son-in-law's short life; The veins on the fingers and fingers are not visible, the anger is not strong, and the temper is not bad. It is not a bullying character. After reading it, you can rest assured."

Li Xiaodao:? ? ?
After saying that, his father turned around and was about to leave. Li Xiaodao wanted to hold him back, but his mother beat him one step ahead.

Mother firmly grabbed Dad's sleeve: "Wait old man, where are you going? You're done with this now? Go and sit next to me first, son-in-law wakes up and talks to him!"

"You asked me to come back to see my son-in-law. I finished watching, what are I waiting for? Patients are still queuing up in the medical center."

Dr. Li raised his foot and was about to go out, but his mother didn't stop him. Li Xiaodao yelled: "Father! Wait a minute!"

The subtle relationship between son-in-law and father is like the subtle relationship between daughter-in-law and mother-in-law. Li Xiaodao often heard colleagues talking about this in the office before, and now he understood it instantly.

She walked to her father, lowered her head and said, "I won't be at home in the future, father will come back to spend time with my mother when I have time, don't be too tired, there are some things that the buddies and apprentices can do, let them do it."

Daddy patted the girl's head lightly: "The house is fine, don't worry, if you are wronged outside, come back and tell Daddy, Daddy will make the decision for you."

What he said made Li Xiaodao feel a little sore.

It may be that she has been in the book for a long time, she feels that she is getting more and more involved in the drama, her father, mother and husband are all people who really care about her.

Li Xiaodao didn't say anything, just nodded.

The voice woke Pei Zhiqi up, he got up just in time to hear the conversation between the old man and his wife, he hurriedly got out of bed and straightened his clothes, went forward to salute the old man respectfully, and called his father.

Li Xiaodao's father glanced at the son-in-law who was saluting, said "Yes" as a promise, then turned and left.

Li Xiaodao patted Xianggong on the back and comforted him: "Daddy has a cold personality and doesn't like to talk too much, so don't take it to heart."

Pei Zhiqi smiled and shook his head: "No."

In the afternoon, the mother still talked with the young couple, and even wanted them to stay for a few days. Li Xiaodao thought of going to the shop in the town to buy things, and thought of his father seeing his husband's awkwardness, so he wanted to find a chance I said goodbye to my mother, and left the house with my husband to prepare for the return journey.

"Did my father and mother make you exhausted today?" The two walked in the town, Li Xiaodao chatted with Xianggong, "My family's personality is like this, I hope that Xianggong doesn't mind."

"I think it's like a family like this," Pei Zhiqi replied with a smile, "My lady always says that my parents are too polite to us, and today I have a deep understanding."

"Not necessarily, every family's situation is different, otherwise, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite."

"My lady is right."

The two sang together, and soon came to the only book shop in the town.

Pei Zhiqi rummaged through the shelves to see if there were any new books about the imperial examinations. Li Xiaodao flipped through them casually and picked out two volumes of novels.

"What is that?" Li Xiaodao saw a book placed very high on the shelf, and wanted to take it down to have a look.

Li Xiaodao is a regular customer, and this Pei Xiucai is known to all the scholars in a radius of ten li. When the clerk heard that the daughter of Li's family wanted to read the book that no one had read for a long time, he didn't bother him at all, so he climbed on the stool and took it down. After wiping off the ashes, it was handed over to Li Xiaodao.

""Fan Yu Chu Xue Jing Yi", Cai Mian?" Li Xiaodao flipped through it, and it seemed to be an ancient foreign language introductory book.

The language... looks very familiar, it seems to be Old Spanish.

Interestingly, Spanish happens to be my major in university.At the beginning, I thought about what I could do as a foreign trader in a small language. I can neither write poems nor compose poems. I have never memorized the ancient soap and fertilizer recipes that are circulated on the Internet. It seems that this great reputation has already had maritime transactions with neighboring countries at this time.

However, there are still some differences between ancient Spanish and modern Spanish. Although I have read relevant literature, I can't remember all of them for a while. If you want to use it in this era, you must buy this book and learn it.

"How much is this book in taels? I want it," Li Xiaodao said to the waiter.

The clerk smiled all over his face: "Tell me, this book costs five taels of silver."

"what???"

Li Xiaodao was stunned, the most expensive book in ordinary binding is only two taels of silver, and the most expensive book of Xianggong's imperial examination is only one or two taels of silver, so this thin book costs five taels of silver?

"Are you kidding me, buddy?" Li Xiaodao was a little annoyed.

The clerk hurriedly made amends: "Don't be angry, this book is currently the only book that teaches people to speak Fanyu. It was edited by Master Cai, a scholar of the Imperial Academy. This book is sold out in the capital and provincial capitals. , no one knows the goods, so there is only one copy left that can’t be sold.”

It seems that trade has just sprouted, and not many people understand it.

Although when she left, Mother secretly stuffed herself with ten taels of silver for fear that she would suffer from a scholar who hadn't yet passed the Juren exam, but five taels of silver was too much to buy a book... Li Xiaodao always felt that he couldn't do it.

"Man, wrap this book up, together with these." Pei Zhiqi put the book he wanted to buy together with the woman's script book, plus the fan language book of five taels of silver, and handed it to the man, "I want some more. Calculate the paper and ink sticks you usually use.”

"Master..."

"It's okay, I can buy it back if I want to see it, but I didn't expect my wife to be interested in Fanyu."

Not only am I interested, but I can also speak fluently, Li Xiaodao thought to himself while digging out money.

Pei Zhiqi pressed Li Xiaodao's hand and paid the money on his own initiative.
