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

Chapter 58 The Mysterious Lady

Time passed quickly. After these two days of moving into the new home and finishing the settlement, it was the end of November, and the day after tomorrow was the first day of the twelfth lunar month. The first day of the twelfth lunar month was the day when Pei Zhiqi went to Jingde Academy to report for the entrance exam.

Li Xiaodao said in the morning that she was going out for a while, and Pei Zhiqi wanted to accompany her, but she refused, and she insisted not to let the husband follow.

"Xianggong studied hard at home. He was delayed on the road for so many days. He didn't study hard recently. Don't miss the exam," Li Xiaodao said earnestly.

"But...the lady goes out alone, I really don't feel relieved," Pei Zhiqi said worriedly.

"I'm wearing a veiled hat, and I'm carrying a dagger in my chest. It's in broad daylight, it's okay, don't worry!" Li Xiaodao reassured his husband.

In fact, Li Xiaodao is not worried about Xianggong's homework at all. Xianggong has a good memory, and he has already memorized his homework. This is just an excuse, because the place she is going to is kept secret for the time being, and he does not want to be known by him.

"My homework is fine, and it won't do much good to read it here. It's good to go out and relax. I'd better go out with my wife."

Pei Zhiqi acted as if he was following his wife, because he was a little worried now.

The lady didn't tell him the reason for her low mood yesterday. Although she cheered up and cooked a bowl of noodles for herself in the afternoon, she didn't chat with her like usual when she slept last night. Instead, she turned her back and faced Wall, I don't know whether I am thinking or sad.

At this time, the lady said that she was going out alone, how could he rest assured.

Li Xiaodao persuaded Xianggong for a while, but Xianggong insisted on following him.

She smiled lightly, there was really nothing she could do with this overwhelmed husband.

"Sanggong, I want to go to a place, and I don't want you to know it for the time being, so you will wait for me at home today, okay? But I promise, you will know where I went today."

Only by telling the truth, she confessed honestly.

"This..." Pei Zhiqi sighed in his heart, since he came to the provincial capital, the lady kept more and more secrets, and she didn't want to talk about her troubles, she was not as simple and straightforward as she was in Baima Village before.

But since the lady wants to keep the secret, she should be respected, so don't ask too much.

After thinking for a while, Pei Zhiqi replied: "The lady must be careful, and come back quickly after finishing the work. I will wait for the lady to go home for dinner at noon."

Li Xiaodao smiled at his husband when he heard the words: "Yes! I will definitely be back before noon!"

When she turned around to leave, she suddenly seemed to remember something again, she turned her head and grabbed Pei Zhiqi's hand, looked down carefully, and squeezed his fingers for a long time before letting go.

Women used to hold hands too, but it was never like today, and they had to hold hands for a long time...

Pei Zhiqi stretched out both hands silently, letting the lady study it.

After pinching for a while, Li Xiaodao was satisfied, and smiled at Pei Zhiqi: "My husband! I'm leaving! I'll definitely be back before lunch!"

After finishing speaking, he put on his veiled hat, turned around and left the courtyard gate.

When Pei Zhiqi arrived at the door, he kept looking at her worriedly for a long time, and he returned to the study worriedly until the lady turned out of the alley and couldn't see her.

*

At noon, when Pei Zhiqi was ready for lunch, Li Xiaodao came back on time.

When she came back, she still had a bundle of paper in her hand, which was the cheap blue and white paper she used to practice calligraphy.

The last time I went out with my husband, I didn't go on the way, so I bought it together today.

Two days have passed, and everything that needs to be settled is almost done. The courses of writing traditional characters and practicing brush calligraphy need to continue to strengthen the progress. The other book in Tibetan language can be recited a little bit, and I have to review part of it every day as planned to strengthen memory.

I don't know if it is useful to learn these things, but Li Xiaodao will read history books when she has free time. She feels that sometimes the historical stories are more dramatic than the novels.

But there are some contents in the storybook novels that cannot be replaced by history books, for example... A meaningful smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiaodao's mouth.

Peace and well, another day passed.

On the last day of November, Pei Zhiqi and Li Xiaodao cooked a table together in the evening, and invited his brother and sister-in-law to come over for a meal, as a thank you to his brother for preparing this house for them.

Strange to say, since my elder brother prepared a guest bedroom for himself next door, he has never been kicked out by his wife in the middle of the night in the past few days.

Naturally, there was another flirtatious exchange of eyebrows while eating.

The elder brother was still in a daze, always accidentally lighting the fire of his sister-in-law; the husband was also like before, reticent when eating, answering a few polite words and then focusing on eating.

My sister-in-law doesn’t want to lose to others, and she also likes to show off. After understanding it, Li Xiaodao flattered her sister-in-law and brother more often during meals, boasting how nourishing their life was, and how hard her life was. My sister-in-law really enjoyed it , happily ate a meal, and went back happily.

After seeing off his brother and sister-in-law, Li Xiaodao shook his head with a helpless smile while cleaning up the dishes, human nature.

After finishing his work in the kitchen, Pei Zhiqi packed his pen, ink, inkstone and brush washer in advance that night, and brought the papers for the exam, and put them into a small and easy-to-carry bookcase.

Two beautiful pots of hot water were also boiled, and both of them took a comfortable hot bath.

Li Xiaodao was lying on the bed in a clean and refreshing way, with Mrs. Tang in her arms and Mrs. Tang under her feet, she felt extremely happy.

The happiness of winter is just a hint of warmth in this cold!

"Sanggong, you're going to the academy to take an exam tomorrow," she said, turning sideways to face him.

Pei Zhiqi also turned sideways to face the lady, with his head resting on one arm, still in the position of a gentleman lying down, and softly replied: "Yes."

"Come on, Xianggong", Li Xiaodao feels wrong to say it. There is no such word as "Come on" in ancient times, right?Busy and changed his words again: "Sanggong is so smart, he will definitely pass the exam."

Pei Zhiqi smiled lightly: "Miss praises me, I will work hard tomorrow."

The two were quiet for a while, Li Xiaodao held Mrs. Tang in his arms, looked at the little Xianggong, and hesitated to say something.

Although the lady only hesitated for a moment, Pei Zhiqi still noticed it. He looked at Li Xiaodao with gentle eyes, and said softly: "If there is anything you want to say, lady, it's okay to speak up. The lady seems to have something bothering her these two days. If you want to talk, you can talk to me."

Li Xiaodao sighed softly, "Yes", she did have something to worry about, but it's not time to talk about it.

So she asked another question.

"Sanggong, can ordinary people enter that Jingde Academy? Can I go in? Tomorrow, I want to go to the academy with Xianggong. Xianggong is going to take an exam, and I will go around and visit."

Pei Zhiqi replied: "Of course. The qualifications to live in the academy, concentrate on studying, and get daily guidance from famous teachers need to be passed. However, ordinary people have lectures on the first, fifteenth, eighth, and 23rd of every month. , you can go to listen. It’s okay to go to the academy for a visit. After all, private academies are different from government schools. The original intention of private academies is to hope that the knowledge of sages and sages can be taught without distinction, so that everyone can learn Chance."

Li Xiaodao thought for a while, and said, "But if Mr. Xiang takes the exam with his wife, he will inevitably be ridiculed by his classmates. Mr. Mr., I have a bold idea, do you want to listen to it?"
