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

Chapter 72 Want to hear the lady's opinion
Because he was afraid of the dark and ghosts, Li Xiaodao, who suffered from Waterloo on the first day of "challenging at home alone", was taken home from the side of the road by his husband.

"Sanggong, why did you come back on the first day of school? Did the marking teacher regret it? You were disqualified again? Or were you squeezed out by a wealthy family? Or were you persecuted by the son of Boss Wan?..."

Being held by the husband and walking home, Li Xiaodao felt sweet and worried at the same time.

Pei Zhiqi smiled lightly and shook his head: "That's not true, my lady, don't think too much, after I went to the academy and settled down in the dorm today, I always felt flustered in my heart, as if I missed something, so I took a day off and rushed in the afternoon back".

"Wouldn't it be good to ask for leave on the first day of school... Did Xianggong forget something?" Li Xiaodao asked doubtfully, did he check it again and again when he packed his luggage?

"No, it doesn't matter if you don't ask for leave on the days when there are lectures." Pei Zhiqi replied, "When I was tidying up things in the Zhaizhu, I suddenly remembered that when my wife was at Baima Village's house, she would never go outside alone at night. It was very dark. After moving to the provincial capital, you must wake me up to accompany you when you go downstairs at night, so you may be afraid to think of you staying at home alone."

Not only was he afraid, but he was scared out of his wits and was caught by the husband.

Li Xiaodao was a little ashamed, she didn't want to worry her husband.

"Xianggong studies well, so don't worry so much. There is a saying, there are always more solutions than difficulties! I will find a way if there are difficulties."

Pei Zhiqi looked back at the lady and smiled, "Then it's because I'm worried and want to come back to see the lady."

This smile from Xianggong really touched Li Xiaodao's heart. She pursed her lips, trying to defend against Xianggong's magic attack.

Recently, I feel that the line of defense has become more and more difficult to defend. Xianggong always inadvertently said ordinary words that sound ordinary but made her fall into it.

After walking for a long time, he reached the door of the house. Li Xiaodao took out the key, opened the door, and returned to the yard.

As soon as Xianggong came back, the old mansion, which had a hideous face just now, suddenly became familiar and amiable again, as if it had changed its appearance.

Li Xiaodao was dragged by Xiang Gong to sit down on a chair in the hall, then Pei Zhiqi went to the kitchen, and when he came back, he was carrying a pot of hot water and Tang Pozi in one hand.

After wrapping it in a cloth towel, Pei Zhiqi handed Mrs. Tang to Li Xiaodao to hold in her arms, then squatted down to help the lady take off her shoes.

"The lady soaks her feet in hot water to warm her up faster."

"Hey! I'll take off my shoes by myself, Mr. Li doesn't need to—" Li Xiaodao hurriedly hugged Tang Pozi with one hand, leaned over to take off his shoes with the other hand.

Pei Zhiqi saw that the lady insisted on doing it herself, so he didn't force it. He sat down on the chair next to him, seeing that the lady's feet were warm and her hands were warm now, and he showed a satisfied smile.

"Tomorrow, I will ask my brother to ask Mrs. Wang from my brother's family to come here to accompany my wife at night and sleep in the guest room. What does my wife think?"

After much deliberation, there is no better way, only for the time being.It would be much better if parents could come before the Chinese New Year.

Li Xiaodao nodded, "Okay, but I'll just go over and talk to my brother tomorrow. Mr. Xianggong should go back to the academy in the morning. If there is a teacher giving lectures during the day, wouldn't I miss it?"

Pei Zhiqi replied: "I will go back to the academy after I personally ask my brother tomorrow morning, otherwise I won't feel at ease when I go back to the academy."

Xianggong was always worried too much, Li Xiaodao had no choice but to nod.

It feels much better to live alone in the guest bedroom at night. As long as you are not alone in the house, you will not be afraid. It doesn’t matter if you sleep alone in the master bedroom.

Soaking her feet in hot water, holding the warm Mrs. Tang in her arms, and her husband sitting beside her, Li Xiaodao felt that she was alive again.

She couldn't help smiling at Xianggong, and then cared about Xianggong's report to the academy today.

"Did the Xianggong report go well today? Have you met Boss Wan's son? When I had dinner with my brother, my brother said that he was also in the academy. It's really disturbing."

Pei Zhiqi replied: "Registration went well, and I also met Young Master Wan."

"Ah? Really met?" Li Xiaodao worried: "Did he make things difficult for you?"

Pei Zhiqi smiled lightly and shook his head: "Mistress, don't worry too much, he didn't make things difficult for me."

Li Xiaodao snorted, pouted and said, "This man has a bad temper, and he didn't make things difficult for you, it's just because he didn't know that Xianggong was going to study in Jingde Academy, so he didn't have time to think of bad ideas... Now that I know, I'm afraid it won't happen in the future." Let go of my husband. You must be careful..."

Pei Zhiqi nodded: "Okay, I will pay more attention." After that, Pei Zhiqi leaned over to test the temperature of the water for the lady's feet, and then picked up the kettle and carefully added some hot water.

"It's great that Xianggong didn't encounter any embarrassment. In a few days, it will be the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month. There will be a lecture in the academy, and I will attend it too!" Li Xiaodao's feet moved in the water, and Xianggong added hot water. , The feet are more comfortable again.

Pei Zhiqi put down the water bottle, returned to the chair and sat down, thinking: "Although the report went smoothly and no one made things difficult for me, but I did encounter a difficult thing today, and I want to hear my wife's opinion."

"Oh?" Li Xiaodao tilted his head and said in surprise, "What embarrassment has Mr. Xiang encountered?"

Pei Zhiqi breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the lady softly, and then spoke slowly.

"Everyone who registers today has to worship a teacher first, and then learn from the teacher they choose in the future, but today there are two teachers who both said they want to accept me as an apprentice, and hesitated for a while. I don't know which teacher to choose."

Li Xiaodao smiled and said, "It's normal for every teacher to want such an excellent student as Xianggong! What kind of teachers are they? Tell me, Xianggong."

"Both of them are famous Confucians who can lecture on both history and scriptures. They have taught in Jingde Academy for many years. In terms of knowledge, they are comparable."

"No wonder Xianggong is in trouble." Li Xiaodao pondered: "How are the students taught by the two teachers? Did any of them pass the Jinshi or Juren examinations?"

"Among the students of the two teachers are both Juren and Jinshi."

"Oh..." It's really hard to choose.

Suddenly, Li Xiaodao thought of something, and asked Pei Zhi curiously: "Msg. said that there was a champion in Jingde Academy, whose student is this champion? Which one of the two?"

Pei Zhiqi smiled and shook his head: "None of them. The number one scholar from Jingde Academy is Mr. Zhang, the chief assistant of the current imperial court. Mr. Zhang's teacher is the current Mr. Elder Shan of Jingde Academy."

"Shan Zhang?" Li Xiaodao asked suspiciously: "Shan Zhang, do you mean the dean of the academy?"

Pei Zhiqi replied: "Although I haven't heard the term dean, but the head of the mountain does mean the head of the academy."

Li Xiaodao nodded, understood.

"No wonder it's difficult for my husband, the two teachers are really evenly matched!" Li Xiaodao sighed.

Pei Zhiqi smiled and nodded, "That's right, I've been thinking about it for a day, but I don't know how to choose the right one. Do you have any suggestions, lady?"
