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

Chapter 49 The new house in the provincial capital
Why is this brother so cautious when he says a word in his own clinic?

While wondering, Li Xiaodao walked out of the hospital with his brother-in-law and his elder brother, and stopped talking after walking a little further.

After stopping and standing still, Li Xiaoxin looked at his sister up and down, and murmured while looking at her, "Tsk tsk... She really grew into a big girl... It hasn't changed for a few years... She's married..."

Li Xiaodao smiled and shook his head: "...Brother? Don't look! I'm fine, but you, why can't you speak loudly in your own medical clinic? What's the situation?"

"Hey..." Hearing this, Li Xiaoxin first sighed deeply, "Little sister, my parents really gave me a bad name, Li Xiaoxin, Li Xiaoxin, I have to be careful when I live every day, because I married that woman! "

Li Xiaodao looked at his husband, then at his elder brother, and asked in doubt: "Brother, do you mean sister-in-law? What's the matter?"

"I told her a long time ago that I'm going to pick you up at the Nancheng Gate early this morning, but she said that her shoulder and neck were uncomfortable in the morning, and she insisted on giving her a massage, and she was not allowed to leave the house. If she was not sleepy now, I can’t even go out to see you! If I sneak out with her on my back and get caught, I’ll have to wear a thin unlined shirt and stand outside the door overnight in winter! She’s not afraid of freezing me to death!” said the elder brother Stop stomping your feet and shaking your head.

Li Xiaodao finally understands, this elder brother is a strict wife, also known as fear of guilt, also known as raking ears.

Li Xiaodao cleared his throat and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I found you. Brother, since you can't stay for a long time, then I'll make a long story short. My mother asked you to rent a house for us. Can you help me to find out where? Appropriate? Or you can tell me where I can rent it, and we can go see it ourselves."

Li Xiaoxin hurriedly said: "I've found it, I've found it, you two come with me, and by the way, let the brother who drives the carriage come with him, it's very close to here, just a few steps away."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the alley on the side of the medical hall.

Pei Zhiqi waved to Liu Xin, Liu Xin understood, and drove to follow. Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi also walked behind Li Xiaoxin.

"It's all my brother's fault, he's so useless. We haven't seen each other for four or five years. You have to have a wedding in half a month after getting married, and I can't rush back. Now that you have come to the provincial capital, you should have Make a table and have a good meal, talk about the family, and now it's..."

At that time, it was really urgent, because my mother was afraid that the marriage would change after a long time and she would never be able to marry again, but my mother was very anxious.

Although he is a real brother whom he has only met for a few minutes, maybe because his brother and mother look alike, Li Xiaodao does not feel that he is unfamiliar.

She smiled and patted her brother on the back to comfort her: "It's okay, I understand you, the days are still long, let's find an empty get together later."

"Okay...okay" Li Xiaoxin happily agreed.

As a result, before turning into the alley next to the medical hall, Li Xiaoxin stopped, pointed to a house next to the side door of the medical hall, and said, "It's right here!"

ah?What brother is looking for is next door to his house?Li Xiaodao was stunned, she looked at her husband.

Pei Zhiqi stepped forward to take a look, the gate and courtyard walls of this house seemed to have been recently repaired, there was no sign of dilapidation, the gate was also very new, and the vermilion lacquered wooden gate seemed to have just been painted.

"Msanggong... here..." Li Xiaodao stood on tiptoes and whispered into Pei Zhiqi's ear, "Is this place too close to my brother's house? I always feel that it will be troublesome in the future..."

Pei Zhiqi replied softly: "Anyway, it's my brother's wish, no matter whether we want to live or not, let's go in and have a look."

Li Xiaodao thought about it, and what Xianggong said was reasonable.

"Little sister, you don't even know how coincidental the time is for you to rent a house!" Li Xiaoxin said as he opened the door with the key, pushed the door open and asked his sister and brother-in-law to come in.

After entering the courtyard, Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi looked around, and Li Xiaoxin continued to introduce.

"This courtyard was originally rented by a scholar who came to the provincial capital to take the township examination, and then passed the Juren examination! After winning the Juren examination, he failed the Jinshi examination in the second spring, and then came back to live for a few years. A while ago, he said that he would continue. After participating in the examination in the spring of the next year, I wanted to go to the capital to make preparations, so I just wanted to cancel the lease, and you just said that I wanted to rent, so tell me, is this a coincidence!" Li Xiaoxin clapped his hands, feeling very excited.

"Well...it's a coincidence..." Li Xiaodao agreed while looking at the house.

The houses here in the provincial capital are not built like courtyards in her impression, but a small two-story wooden building in the center of the house. The first floor of the wooden building is a living room similar to modern living room, where guests are usually eaten and entertained , The study is also in a small room separated from the first floor, the second floor is the bedroom, there are two bedrooms on the left and right, one for the master and one for the guest.There are courtyards at the front and back of the wooden building, and two rows of one-story ear rooms are built on the left and right sides of the courtyard, which are used as kitchens, bathrooms, firewood houses, warehouses, etc.

Li Xiaodao walked around the first floor of the room before coming out, and Pei Zhiqi went up to the second floor to check carefully.

Seeing that Li Xiaodao finished reading it, Li Xiaoxin beamed and said, "How is it? Sister? Is it very good? Then Master Juren cleaned the house clean before leaving, and even repainted the doors and windows..."

Li Xiaodao smiled and nodded: "It's really good, the layout is very reasonable and clean. The size is also suitable."

Except that it is next door to my brother's house, there are no shortcomings.

If the sister-in-law had such a personality, Li Xiaodao was really afraid that living together in the future would cause a lot of trouble.

"Really? I know you two came here in a hurry and didn't have time to prepare. The old furniture was bought by the old man. He sold it before he left. I bought the new bed, table and chair furniture in advance, and prepared the necessary pots and pans for the house. The ladle, the candle warmer, and even the new quilts are laid out, you and your brother-in-law, you and your son-in-law will be able to live here, even tonight, without having to go outside to find an inn..."

The more Li Xiaodao listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "Brother, I don't know how to live. You spent so much money to get in? Aren't you afraid that I won't rent it? Then you threw away the money for nothing?"

Li Xiaoxin stomped his feet anxiously, and held his younger sister's hand again: "Dear sister, good sister, you must live here, definitely! I have paid the rent for you in advance for one year! Otherwise, where did you get the key?"

Li Xiaodao wondered: "Why is brother so anxious to settle down?"

When Li Xiaoxin was asked this question, he hesitated again: "Because...because...this is very important to me..."

Li Xiaodao asked again: "What is important?"

"That's...that's..." Li Xiaoxin cleared his throat and said embarrassedly: "Sometimes... I will occasionally have a little conflict with your sister-in-law. At that time, I often have to stay outside for a while. If you live next to me , that would be very convenient, every time like this, you just let your brother come in, just have a place to have a cup of tea and sit down..."

Li Xiaodao: ...

It turned out that my brother wanted to have a place that could take him in every time he quarreled with his sister-in-law and was kicked out of the house?
Li Xiaodao didn't know what to say for a moment, she sighed softly.

I became more and more hesitant, and I was really afraid that I couldn't get along with my sister-in-law.

"Brother... You... Otherwise, we can go to other places tomorrow and decide..."

Before Li Xiaodao finished his sentence, Li Xiaoxin's eyes turned red, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Well, Li Xiaodao believes that this is definitely his brother, and it is [-]% his mother's genes.

"Sister...you can't abandon my brother and live somewhere else...My brother loved you so much when he was a child, and you feel sorry for him now, huh? Do you know how cold it is in the provincial capital in winter? How pitiful it is outside the door, you must live here, absolutely!" Li Xiaoxin cried out as he spoke.

Li Xiaodao hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe his brother's tears, "Don't cry, brother, don't cry, I'll think about it..."

Just as Li Xiaodao was wiping his brother's tears, a shrill woman's voice suddenly came from the courtyard: "Okay! Li Xiaoxin! How dare you flirt with other women behind my back! I just said you How are you messing with this courtyard! It turns out that you are planning to hide your beauty in a golden house!? You are really a coward!"
