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

Chapter 92 The little date in the afternoon
With the previous experience, Li Xiaodao knew what the general flow of the lecture would be like. He stood up when the bell was struck, and sat down when the drum was struck. He was much more proficient.

While listening to the lecture, although he was sitting next to Mr. Xiang, and there were too many good news to tell Mr. Li, Li Xiaodao still endured it, and let's talk after listening to the lecture!Both she and her husband sat upright and listened carefully.

After the lecture, the two met in the yard, chatted together and went for a walk outside to a secluded place.

At this time, the students in the academy are very cooperative, including fellow Qin Jin, and even the teacher will not summon Pei Zhiqi at this time, everyone seems to have made an appointment.

Now when they are taking a leisurely walk, the two of them will naturally hold hands together, just like Li Xiaodao helping the husband to straighten the back of his collar, and Pei Zhiqi helping the wife to smooth out the unruly hair at the sideburns.

"Sanggong, I have a lot of good news to tell you! I don't know which one to tell you first," Li Xiaodao said happily while shaking his hand with Xianggong.

"The lady just said one by one, and I listened," Pei Zhiqi said with a smile.

"Hmm..." Li Xiaodao tilted his head and thought for a while, "Let's talk about father and mother's news first! I received a letter from Baima Village a few days ago! Father and mother said they would come later, maybe around the 25th of the twelfth lunar month. Provincial capital, when the time comes, I will go to the south gate to pick them up!"

"The 25th day of the twelfth lunar month..." Pei Zhiqi pondered, "The college only started to take the New Year's holiday on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. It's really a bit late. I think I will take a few more days off at that time. Why not go home on the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month? First, I can pick up the holidays." Father and mother, the second is that the house needs to be cleaned before the New Year, and many things need to be prepared in advance.”

"Won't it affect Xianggong's homework?"

"No. When you have free time at home, you can also complete the questions and tasks left by your husband, and then give them to your husband for review and inspection after a year."

Li Xiaodao smiled happily. It is better news than anything else that Xianggong can go home early.

"That's good! Xianggong, my brother asked about writing Spring Festival couplets a few days ago, and said he wanted to ask you to help him write two copies. This year we are away from home, renting a house, should we post Spring Festival couplets during the Chinese New Year?" Li Xiaodao asked.

"I'll help my brother write Spring Festival couplets when I get home for New Year's Eve. As for the Spring Festival couplets in front of our house, if the lady wants to post them, we will write them," Pei Zhiqi replied.

"Then post it! Xianggong's good handwriting is pasted on the door frame, it must be very temperamental!"

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "My lady is also learning calligraphy recently, don't you want to try?"

"Ah?" Li Xiaodao didn't realize it for a while, "My handwriting...it's not bad if I can barely read it clearly, so don't post it out to make people embarrassed! And I haven't written such big words..."

The two unknowingly came to the secluded dense forest last time. Pei Zhiqi suddenly stopped, and Li Xiaodao also stopped.

"Master, what's the matter?" Li Xiaodao asked doubtfully.

Pei Zhiqi turned to face Li Xiaodao, smiled and said, "This year's Spring Festival couplets, I will publish the upper couplets, and my wife will write down the second couplets, and then we will each write them down and stick them on the door frame, what does the lady think?"

Can still play this game... Li Xiaodao didn't expect the scholar to have such a romantic way, so he couldn't help giving him a thumbs up in his heart.

She covered her mouth and smiled softly, "I was afraid that my handwriting would be ugly, so I posted it to make the neighbors laugh."

"For Chinese New Year, just try to be happy, nothing else matters," Pei Zhiqi said softly.

"Hmm... that's fine! What about the horizontal batch?" Li Xiaodao decided to cooperate with the husband's little fun.

"Whoever criticizes the correct pair will be the one who writes it," Pei Zhiqi replied after thinking for a while.

"Then it's a deal! At that time, please don't make too difficult couplets, otherwise I will feel uncomfortable if I can't do it. It's not enough to stick couplets on one side!" Li Xiaodao laughed.

Pei Zhiqi also nodded with a smile, "Okay, then it's a deal."

"Well, it's a deal!"

Li Xiaodao pointed to a protruding rock in front, "Master, let's stand there and talk, it can get the sun there, so it's warmer."

So Pei Zhiqi led his wife to a place where they could get some warmth, and the two stood together, with Li Xiaodao holding his husband's arm.

"Sir, there is another piece of good news. I found a job with Boss Wan. He promised to give me ten taels of silver a month. Is this too much or too little?"

"The monthly salary of the county magistrate is only 15 taels of silver, and the income of a male laborer in an ordinary family is only about [-] taels of silver a month. Ten taels of silver is not uncommon," Pei Zhiqi replied with a smile.

"Really? That's great! And Boss Wan also sent a carriage! He also provided a driver..." Li Xiaodao, who almost said "driver", quickly changed his words: "There is also a driver, and he has a driver in an instant. A private carriage, it is very convenient to go out now! When Xianggong returns home on the [-]th of the twelfth lunar month, and when he returns to the academy, the carriage can be picked up." Li Xiaodao held Xianggong's arm tighter, and she put her face on him. Said happily on the arm.

"My lady is also a talented person, and she can be considered to be able to display her skills if she gets this opportunity," Pei Zhiqi said with a smile, "I just don't know if this job is hard or not, as long as the money is enough, it's fine, if it's too hard..."

"I'm not tired! I'm not tired at all. I've been lying at home for five days. Boss Wan hasn't called me once. I guess I won't be too busy in the future." Li Xiaodao hurriedly shook his head.

"That's good... If you are too tired in the future, just don't do this job when the lady doesn't want to do it. Although I am not rich or powerful, I can still support a small family. I can also find someone to help me when the next spring begins." The errands of teaching schoolchildren to read, and subsidizing some households."

"Don't worry, Xianggong, I will not tire myself out," Li Xiaodao reassured Xianggong.

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "Okay, then I wish my lady success in her career and promotion at every step."

"I wish Xianggong Jie Yuan in high school!" Li Xiaodao responded with a smile.

After chatting, the two were silent for a while, then Pei Zhiqi pondered: "If the carriage comes to pick you up, it's better to come and pick them up on the [-]th night of the twelfth lunar month. You can go home after self-study on the [-]th night of the twelfth lunar month, and you can go to the city before the curfew by the carriage. "

Li Xiaodao nodded: "Okay, I've made a note, and I'll talk to Xiao Xizi later."

Suddenly Li Xiaodao seemed to think of something again, she covered her mouth and smiled and said: "Master Wan, it seems that Boss Wan has already known about the good things that Master Wan did outside, and Boss Wan beat his ass to the ground, and he was lying in the carriage yesterday I was sent to our door to apologize to me, I really wonder how Boss Wan knew, I obviously haven't said anything yet!"

"Well..." Pei Zhiqi recalled what happened in the academy a few days ago. Mr. Xie went to him later, and told how Master Wan went to Mr. Xie and the head of the mountain, and he knew what happened later.

After Pei Zhiqi told his wife about these things, Li Xiaodao smiled and said: "So that's the case! Boss Wan is really good, he probably felt something was wrong with his husband's refusal to hand out the test papers, and then asked his servants to investigate After a while, you will know. But judging from the attitude of Young Master Wan coming to apologize, he is still far from repentance."

Pei Zhiqi frowned and said, "When my lady is alone at home, she must lock the door, and try not to be alone when she goes outside."

Li Xiaodao nodded: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiang, I still have a strong sense of prevention."

In the winter afternoon, the two chatted while standing in the warm sun watching the scenery.

After chatting for a while, Li Xiaodao smiled slightly, let go of Pei Zhiqi's arm with both hands, moved her body and stood facing the husband, then wrapped her hands around his waist, raised her head and said softly: "Master, have you thought about it these days?" its me?"

Pei Zhiqi didn't answer, but looked at the lady softly, then he lowered his head and kissed her gently.
