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

Chapter 13 There are many people on the street, don't lose your husband

As soon as Qin Jin got out of the car, he said goodbye to the two of them, and hurriedly walked towards Huanyi Lane.

Pei Zhiqi got off the carriage first, then helped the lady down, and put the cloak on the lady, "It's still a little cold, the lady put this on first, I'll go and take down the luggage."

Pei Zhiqi had stayed in Fucheng for a long time and was familiar with it. He directly asked the driver to stop in front of the inn where he used to live.

The two shop assistants were very shrewd. In the shop, they saw Pei Zhiqi who got off the carriage from a distance and brought a little lady. They hurriedly came out and took the luggage, nodding and bowing: "Pei Xiucai also came to Fucheng this year to pay tribute to the teacher, please come in quickly! "

Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao entered the inn one after the other and came to the front of the counter. Before Pei Zhiqi spoke, Xiao Er put down his luggage and said hello to the guy behind the counter: "This is Pei Xiucai, an old customer. I guess he will stay for two. "Three days", then turned to look at Li Xiaodao beside Pei Zhiqi, then looked at Pei Zhiqi, and asked with a wonderful smile, "Master Xiucai, can't you open a single private room this year? I have to open a big room this year. is not it?"

Just as Pei Zhiqi was about to answer, he paused again. The lady lived with him at home considering her parents' feelings. Now that he was outside, he still didn't know if the lady would like to live with him, so he turned to the lady and asked what she meant. .

"Please open a large double room," Li Xiaodao said to Xiao Er.

Although two rooms are more convenient, but the husband is with his family outside. If he opens two rooms, he doesn't know what it will be like if he says it out.

"Oh~" Xiao Er replied meaningfully: "Understood! Dude, open a nice big room for Xiucai. This is a kiss, and everything has to be obeyed by the lady!" After that, Xiao Er and the counter man all laughed.

After opening the room, Xiao Er carried the luggage and led the way upstairs in front. Pei Zhiqi asked the lady to walk in front, and he followed behind and went upstairs together.

"Two distinguished guests, the room is here. If you need hot water for dinner, just give a command. The two of you will pack up first, and I won't disturb you." The little Er diligently put away the luggage, closed the door and went out.

When he could finally take off his hat, Li Xiaodao hung the hat on the hanger, opened the window, and the cold wind rushed in immediately.

"What a big wind!" Li Xiaodao sighed.

"After all, in winter, there is a chill in the wind. Let's close it after a while. Be careful of catching a cold," Pei Zhiqi said with concern.

"Well, just a little while."

The climate in winter is a little drier than in spring and summer. After carefully checking that the bedding is not damp and clean, Pei Zhiqi is relieved, and takes out his luggage and puts away his clothes and pen and ink.

The large room is indeed more spacious than the single room, with more screens than the single room, the desk and bed are separated, and the window and wardrobe are also much larger.

It's just that the couch is a little smaller than the one at home.

Pei Zhiqi thought about whether he should ask Xiao Er for another quilt, and he should make the floor himself at night.

He wanted to discuss with the lady, but he didn't know how to speak.

"Miss..."

"Xianggong, what are we going to eat at night?" Li Xiaodao asked Pei Zhiqi, who was just about to speak.

Pei Zhiqi smiled and replied, "Do you have anything to eat, lady?"

Li Xiaodao looked at the lively street outside the window: "I want to go shopping on the street to see if there are any delicious snacks!"

Looking at the sunset, Pei Zhiqi estimated that the time should be past the beginning of the Youzheng, and it was approaching Youzheng, and when the Xuzheng arrived, there would be a curfew.

"Then let's take a stroll around here. The curfew will be in about an hour."

Li Xiaodao forgot that in the ancient city, except for the Lantern Festival, there was a curfew, and there was no nightlife at all.

She sighed softly, "Okay! Then walk around the neighborhood."

The two went out, and Pei Zhiqi took the lady to a nearby street selling all kinds of food from memory.

It was already dark, and the shops on both sides of the street were still open with lanterns hanging on, and the hawkers were shouting in full swing by the light.

There were still a lot of people on the street. After staying in the village for a long time, Li Xiaodao was suffocated. She dipped around in the crowd, looking here and there.

She was very interested in big restaurants and restaurants, but hesitated around the stalls and hawkers, not knowing which one to buy.

Peanut soup, fish ball soup, meat dumplings, frozen bamboo shoots, five-spice sticks, ginger duck, spring rolls with pancakes... There are so many kinds of snacks that the hawkers sell, it's hard to decide.

Pei Zhiqi, who was behind Li Xiaodao, was afraid of being separated from his wife, so he followed closely.

"Madam—" Li Xiaodao took a step away from sight again, and Pei Zhiqi hurriedly shouted and chased after him.

Only then did Li Xiaodao realize that Xianggong was still behind her. She turned back and smiled at Xianggong, standing there and waiting.

"Xianggong, this is so delicious! I want to eat it all, but what if I buy it back and can't finish it?" When Pei Zhiqi caught up out of breath, Li Xiaodao told him about his troubles.

"Then... today, the lady will pick out a few things she wants to eat the most. There are still a few days left. We can come over every day and eat all the lady wants to eat. How about this?" Pei Zhiqi pinched his chin and thought about a countermeasure. .

Li Xiaodao clapped his hands together happily and said, "Mr. Xiang is really smart! Let's do it like this!"

Li Xiaodao turned around and wanted to walk quickly again, but Pei Zhiqi hurriedly shouted, "Miss, slow down—"

Li Xiaodao turned back and smiled sweetly at Pei Zhiqi, then she directly took Pei Zhiqi's hand and walked with him.

Having been with Pei Zhiqi for more than two months, even if it is not close, they are already very familiar with him. Li Xiaodao directly held his hand without thinking much.

It was like this when she went shopping with her friends before crossing the road. She walked faster and always liked to hold her friend's hand and walk together.

Pei Zhiqi blushed suddenly.

Madam... She actually took one of her own hands...

The lady's hand was soft, but it was a little cold, so it was still frozen. I will tell the lady to add more clothes tomorrow.

Pei Zhiqi was pulled by Li Xiaodao, Li Xiaodao was anxious at his feet, and Pei Zhiqi staggered a little when he was nervous.

She didn't stop until Li Xiaodao, the first stall she decided to buy, naturally let go of her husband's hand and went shopping with the hawker.

Pei Zhiqi hurriedly took out the copper plate in his arms to pay for the meal.

The two sat down at a small table by the street, and the hawker quickly brought two bowls of hot fish ball soup.Pei Zhiqi was so shy that he didn't dare to look at the lady sitting across from him eating deliciously.

"What's wrong with Xianggong? Why don't you eat?" Li Xiaodao looked at the opposite Xianggong sitting stupidly and asked with concern.

"I...I'll eat it now," Pei Zhiqi hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and took two bites.

After eating this one and eating another stall, Li Xiaodao was satisfied and full.

"Is Xianggong full? I'm done eating!" she said, rubbing her belly.

Pei Zhiqi replied with a smile, "I've eaten too. Let's go back then? If we don't leave, we're afraid we won't be able to make it back to the inn before the curfew."

Li Xiaodao nodded. After she was full, she was not in a hurry to walk, and walked slowly behind Pei Zhiqi.

Pei Zhiqi would look back from time to time to see if the lady was following, and every time she looked back, the lady looked at him with a smile.

He didn't dare to pull up the hand of the person behind him like a lady, and when he remembered just now, shyness appeared again.

The lady only pulled her hand once, and she never pulled it again. For some reason, Pei Zhiqi felt very sweet in her heart, and seemed to have a vague sense of loss.
