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

Chapter 65 The day the academy released its rankings

"The fragrance of tea and the fragrance of milk complement each other so well," Xianggong said after drinking.

Li Xiaodao was satisfied.

After drinking milk tea, she went to check and accept the straw target made by Mr. Xiang, but she didn't have a knife to test it, so she could only feel it with her hands, and then beat it with her small fist. It was really good. Li Xiaodao praised Mr. Be round and firm.

After finishing all the miscellaneous things, Li Xiaodao went back to the study. In the afternoon, when she was practicing calligraphy and memorizing in the study, Pei Zhiqi went out to the doctor's clinic next door, and carried a bamboo basket on her back when she went.

He prescribes the medicine prescribed by his elder brother Li Xiaoxin. He prescribes ten prescriptions for daily recuperation and three prescriptions for emergency pain relief. The medicines he grasped filled half a bamboo basket.

The guy who picked up the medicine said that the boss told him to take half of the price for the medicine, but Pei Zhiqi still insisted on paying the normal price.After grabbing the medicine, he went home.

When he got home, he put the medicinal materials in the kitchen cabinet, took out the small pot for decocting the medicinal herbs, and went to the study to call his wife over.

Li Xiaodao was called to the kitchen by her husband, and as soon as she entered the kitchen, she smelled a faint fragrance of herbs.

"Sir, did you just go grab medicine with the bamboo basket on your back?"

"Well," Pei Zhiqi took the pot and explained to the lady in detail: "If I enter the academy, the lady will remember to decoct the medicine every day from about the eighth or ninth day of the twelfth lunar month. A pair of medicine will be decocted once in the morning and evening, twice in total. Get a new one every day for frying. Use this pot when frying. After boiling on high heat, cook on low heat for at least half an hour, add water to about this position..." Pei Zhiqi said while using his hands to fry the casserole Make gestures.

Li Xiaodao smiled and watched Xianggong teach her how to make medicine, and nodded in response.

This worrying husband-in-law was really worried that his hair would turn gray early.

Xianggong also explained which packs of painkillers are used, and which day is best to cook in advance... Li Xiaodao is ashamed, it happens every month, Xianggong remembers it much better than her.

"The academy rests for a day every tenth day, I'm afraid my lady... I just won't be here..." After explaining, Pei Zhiqi said again worriedly.

"I've written down what Xianggong said!" Li Xiaodao heartily patted Xianggong on the back to comfort him: "Don't worry, I've been very experienced in carrying it alone before, and it should be much better with the medicine this time, don't you Worry!"

Pei Zhiqi heaved a long sigh.

He just couldn't be bothered.

The few days of waiting for the announcement of the rankings were very peaceful. Li Xiaoxin came to check how his brother-in-law was doing in the exam, but Li Xiaodao could only tell him that the rankings would be released after two days, so he chatted a few words and went back home.

"Ever since we lived here, my brother hasn't been kicked out. Is he preparing this guest room for nothing?" After Li Xiaoxin went back, Li Xiaodao joked with his husband, "This is a good thing! I hope brother and sister-in-law There will always be peace and harmony in the future!"

There was still a day or two of free time before the list was released. Pei Zhiqi suggested taking his wife to a clothing store. It was almost Chinese New Year and bought some new clothes, but Li Xiaodao refused to go, saying that he wanted to stay at home with his husband and cook together for the next two days. Cooking, reading, doing housework, and buying new clothes, I want to wait for my father and mother to come to the provincial capital and then go shopping together as a family.

"I don't know if my parents will come and when, and I haven't sent a letter yet," Pei Zhiqi sighed softly.

"It will definitely come, we have both agreed, father and mother will not break their promises," Li Xiaodao actively comforted him.

Peaceful days always pass quickly, and the more reluctant you are, the faster they pass.

Li Xiaodao had a premonition that he was about to separate from Xianggong, so he refused to go out and wanted to stay with Xianggong for a while.

But finally came the day to release the list.

In fact, there is no need to worry about reading the list, the list will be posted all day long, but this morning, Li Xiaodao and Xianggong woke up very early.

Li Xiaodao was still full of energy in the morning, which was rare. She didn't have ink marks at all, changed her clothes in a hurry, and hurriedly stuffed two breakfasts, and told her husband to hurry up and go to the carriage and horse shop to take the car.

Pei Zhiqi smiled and shook his head, and pulled the lady who hadn't finished the meal back to sit down again: "Don't worry, lady finish the meal first, the morning is still long, if you don't eat enough, you will be hungry after a while."

How could she be in the mood to eat? Jingde Academy released the results at five o'clock in the morning, and it should be almost six o'clock in the morning now. She wanted to see the results immediately.

Being dragged back by my husband, I had to sit down again, patiently finished the porridge in the bowl and the steamed cakes in the plate, picked up the dishes with chopsticks, and then cleaned up the dishes with lightning speed.

It's finally time to go!
Along the way, Pei Zhiqi held the lady's hand, which was always cold in winter, and after he held it for a while, the lady would change the other hand to keep both hands warm.

After arriving at the chariot and horse shop and renting a carriage, Li Xiaodao told the coachman to drive quickly.

Today is really much faster than last time, and it didn't take long to arrive at the place where I got off the carriage last time, in front of the mountain gate at the foot of the mountain.

Just like when I came to take the exam that day, there are many people who come to see the list today.

Today Li Xiaodao didn't wear his husband's scholar's clothes, not because of other reasons, but simply because he was too anxious in the morning and forgot.

It was only when we got to the mountain gate that we realized that we were wearing ordinary clothes.

"Oh~" She sighed, and said to Pei Zhi in surprise, "Sir, it should be normal to have family members accompanying you when you come to see the list... It's okay... you won't be laughed at..."

Pei Zhiqi smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, my lady is worrying too much", then took Li Xiaodao's hand and walked halfway up the mountain.

When Li Xiaodao and Xianggong came to the main gate of the academy to take a look, it was as expected, um, it was crowded.

A bunch of people squeezed in front, and some jumped up happily after reading it and shouted that I passed the exam, as happy as if I had won the Jinshi; some people shook their heads after reading it, and turned around dejectedly Going back; more people can't squeeze in front of them and can't see them at all, as if they are holding a competition to grow their necks, one by one stands on tiptoe and stretches their necks and squeezes forward.

Li Xiaodao is so small that he can't see what's ahead even when he jumps up.

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said to her: "Lady, stay here for a while, don't go far, I'll go ahead and look at the list."

Li Xiaodao nodded his head and said yes, and then saw the gentleman dodging left and right, politely saying "please let me go, excuse me", while walking forward, it didn't take long before he fell into the front of the watch The list of troops.

In ancient times, there were no telephones, and the only way to communicate was by shouting. Li Xiaodao was afraid of getting lost with his husband, so he stood there without moving, his eyes fixed on the front, waiting for his husband to read the list before squeezing out from the crowd.

She stared and stared, and suddenly found a familiar figure among the crowd looking at the list.

Isn't that the scholar who hitchhiked temporarily when he went to Fucheng?It seems to be called... what is it called?

Li Xiaodao recalled in his head for a long time before he remembered the name Qin Jin.

Why did he come to the provincial capital?Is this the same academy as Xianggong?
