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

Chapter 39 The mind of the lady, the shy husband

Could it be that Li Xiaodao didn't understand the intention of Xianggong's tossing, but she was a little puzzled that Xianggong would suddenly become enlightened, it was really a blossoming iron tree!

She didn't remember the nonsense she said when she was confused at all, she just happily took her husband's arm, and put her little face on his arm.

Pei Zhiqi encountered a blind spot in contact with the lady again. He thought that the lady would only lean on his shoulder like the last time he went to Fucheng, but he didn't expect that she would hug his entire arm.

Now that there is something to rely on, Li Xiaodao can't fall asleep at all.

The happiness of holding the husband's arm was too strong, she was too busy savoring it, and had already forgotten about the drowsiness.

Xianggong was stunned and motionless, was he frightened?

She peeked playfully out of the corner of her eye, and found that the husband's cheeks were slightly red.

The shy Xianggong is so cute, Li Xiaodao giggled in his heart.

In a closed space, the two of them are alone, and the atmosphere is right at the moment.

Li Xiaodao, it's time to play!At this moment, that sentence can definitely be said!
Li Xiaodao sat up slightly, raised his head slightly, and tried hard to get close to the stunned Xianggong's ear, and said softly: "Xianggong, I have something to tell you, I—— oops!"

"Miss, be careful!"

At this moment, the carriage didn't know whether it had passed a big puddle or the wheels stepped on a big rock. It suddenly bumped, causing the two of them to spread apart and jump up on their seats.

"Drive!" Liu Xin, the coachman, shouted from the front, "Are you all right? There was a bump in the big hole just now, so be careful—"

"No, it's okay—" Pei Zhiqi replied.

After the two sat down again, they looked at each other and smiled, the awkward atmosphere eased, and the sweet atmosphere also dissipated.

Hey - it's really not going well, Li Xiaodao sighed in his heart.

What a great opportunity just now, bang—the ground is gone.

The second attempt failed again.

Li Xiaodao tactically cleared his throat, sitting still is boring anyway, let's chat.

She suddenly remembered and asked, "Can my husband sing?"

"Singing?" Pei Zhiqi thought for a while and asked, "Is the lady talking about singing?"

Li Xiaodao remembered that there were many nouns that could be directly used as verbs in ancient times, so he nodded: "Yes!"

Pei Zhiqi smiled and shook his head: "I've never learned the song, if my wife wants to listen to it in the provincial capital, there are places to listen to it, but..."

Li Xiaodao asked suspiciously, "Just what?"

"It's just that only men look for divas... There are other places to listen to, but those places are even more forbidden for women, so..."

Li Xiaodao suddenly realized, and she remembered that the ancient "entertainment circle" was far less glamorous than it is now, and most of the women who made a living by singing had a miserable life experience.

Most of the places Xianggong mentioned were the Land of Fengyue.

She sighed softly, this evil feudal society.

"Why did the lady suddenly start talking about songs?"

Because in the era when I came, singing was very common. Everyone can sing, and if they sing well, they will become stars.

She couldn't tell her husband these things, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain that she wasn't suffering from hysteria.

"Uh... because I talked about Qin with my husband a few days ago, I thought of songs by the way."

"If my lady really wants to hear it, I can learn some words to sing for my lady," Pei Zhiqi said with a smile.

"Okay! In fact, Xianggong, I can also hum a little tune, and I guarantee that Xianggong has never heard of it."

Pei Zhiqi said softly: "The young man will listen attentively, please enlighten me."

Li Xiaodao thought for a while, what song should he hum...

She remembered the song "Edelweiss" in the classic movie "The Sound of Music". The melody is beautiful and simple, suitable for humming, but she can't remember the lyrics, so let's hum the melody!
"Let me hum a song to bless my hometown for Xianggong!"

Li Xiaodao hummed the tune of "Edelweiss", and Pei Zhiqi listened attentively.

The lady's song is far from ordinary lyrics and music at first glance, but it is not completely unsuitable for palace merchants. It should be able to be played with a piano, Pei Zhiqi analyzed while listening.

The lady was in good spirits in the carriage this afternoon, sometimes humming a tune, sometimes chatting, and chatting with him for a long time before she felt sleepy.

When she was sleepy, the lady would naturally hold his arm, lean on his shoulder, and fall asleep quietly.

He was not as nervous as before, and he would raise his hand to gently tidy up the remaining hair hanging behind his shoulders for the lady.

*

In the following journey, Li Xiaodao didn't try to say that sentence again, because after experiencing the bump on the carriage, she had a new idea.

The two failures must be due to the deep meaning of fate's arrangement. After thinking about it carefully, she really figured out what was missing.

Maybe they are husband and wife in the eyes of the husband, but they are different in their own eyes.

Now that I have decided to start a relationship with the scholar Xiaoxianggong, the sense of ritual is very important, and the sense of ritual is also a kind of "ritual".

When it comes to the sense of ritual, there are still some things to prepare.

When you get to the provincial capital and everything is ready, let's talk to my husband.

Liu Xin estimated that the score was not bad. Just as the sun was about to set, the carriage arrived at an unknown county town.

"This is Shizi County, a small county town, but there are still two or three inns. It would be better for me to take the two of you to choose a place to go often. What do you think of the two distinguished guests?"

After entering the county seat, Ma Er walked slowly, and Liu Xin consulted the opinions of the guests in the carriage.

Pei Zhiqi looked at his wife, and Li Xiaodao said that any hotel would do, anyway, he would only stay for one night.

So Pei Zhiqi replied, "Brother Liu just decides."

The carriage walked for a while, and arrived at the entrance of the inn before dark.

After the two guests got out of the carriage, Liu Xin greeted the waiter, and parked the carriage at the entrance of the inn. The guy who unloaded the horse, the waiter led the horse to the door of the side yard and entered the barn in the backyard. , Prepare fodder and water for the horses.

"Two distinguished guests, don't worry and enter the inn. I'll watch the luggage here." After speaking, Liu Xin leaned on the wheels of the carriage and sat directly on the ground.

"This..." Li Xiaodao looked at Pei Zhiqi, and said to Liu Xin: "Brother Liu, won't you go in? Let's eat something together!"

Liu Xin shook his head: "I have water and dry food. It is my duty to look after the luggage. The two distinguished guests just go in. Don't pay attention to me."

"Are you going to spend the night here tonight? It's too cold!" Li Xiaodao frowned. He just walked north and felt a slight chill, much colder than at home.

"I'll sleep in the carriage at night, don't worry." Liu Xin took out the dry food and was about to eat with water, but found that the two guests were still standing there.

Li Xiaodao looked at Pei Zhiqi again, "Sir..."

Pei Zhiqi understood what the lady meant, he thought for a while, and was about to speak, but Liu Xin said first: "Are you worried about my behavior, little lady? Don't worry, I have worked in the carriage and horse shop in Jinsha Town for more than ten years. I have walked this road countless times, and my hands and feet are clean."

Li Xiaodao hurriedly shook his head and said: "That's not what I mean, I just want to say that it's too cold, drinking cold water and eating cold dry food is not good for your health..."

Pei Zhiqi helped the lady back and said: "Brother Liu misunderstood, my lady can't bear brother Liu staying outside in winter. Brother Liu put down the dry food and cold water first, but you can go to the inn with me and the lady to order food, and have a good dinner. This carriage is right at the door, so you can see it with your eyes, so you don’t need to sit here and look at it; at night, after dinner, Brother Liu and I will carry it into the guest room together. Brother Liu doesn’t have to sleep outside at night, we will open another room for you , Brother Liu, how about this?"

"It's not good to let customers spend money, I always..."

Before Liu Xin could finish speaking, Li Xiaodao smiled and said, "No fee, brother Liu, don't refuse, don't refuse, it's such a happy decision!"

After finishing speaking, she squatted down and confiscated Liu Xin's frozen dry food, and then greeted Liu Xin and Xianggong to enter the inn together.

"This..." Liu Xin was surprised by Li Xiaodao's actions and didn't realize it for a moment. When he regained his senses, he laughed, Mr. Pei really married a good wife.

"Then it's better to be respectful than obedience," Liu Xin replied.
