The daily life of a talented young husband who travels through a book and suffers from cruelty

Chapter 107 Sweet Holiday

"Xianggong..." Li Xiaodao was a little embarrassed, she had never been patient with her hair.

Withdrawing his hands back, Li Xiaodao obediently sat in front of the mirror, watching the gentleman gently and patiently help him untie the messy bun, then picked up the comb and combed it gently strand by strand, not in a hurry Not dry.

Li Xiaodao watched Xianggong's movements in the mirror, and she sighed softly in her heart.

It has to be said that she misses the peaceful life she used to have every day in Baima Village.

When Xianggong just left home to go to the academy, many things were very difficult, and there were too many things he was not used to. Fortunately, he survived them one by one. After half a month, he gradually got used to it.

But as soon as Xianggong came home, he awakened the memory before coming to the provincial capital, which made Li Xiaodao feel emotional.

Forget it, it's only a year, and it will be fine until August next year.

If Xianggong is admitted to Juren next August, he can go back to Baima Village again.

But there is a popular saying that a man will turn bad when he has money. When his husband is admitted to Juren, will he start thinking about monogamy and multiple concubines like those scholars in the book... This was legal in ancient times. Will Xianggong still comb his hair quietly in front of the mirror like today?

The husband promised to live up to her, but can a man's promise count?
Bah, bah, bah, Li Xiaodao closed his eyes to get rid of distracting thoughts.

Don't doubt, don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious.

Suspicion begets dark ghosts, so trust your husband.

Li Xiaodao opened his eyes again to look at Mr. Xianggong. He lowered his head and concentrated on twisting his hair into a bun. There was no trace of stray hair in Mr. Xianggong's bun, which was very smooth and round.

After the bun was finished, the Xianggong picked up the hairpin again, looked at himself in the mirror, and examined where the hairpin fit.

"What do you want to do today, my lady? I will put down my books today, and not do other things, to be with my lady," Pei Zhiqi said after putting the hairpin in the right place, and checking her hair bun.

"I...I don't have any plans today." When asked suddenly, Li Xiaodao hurriedly collected his thoughts and began to think about his husband's question: "It's good to stay at home with your husband and prepare for the New Year. Things that should be unpacked and washed Wash it before parents come, otherwise they will definitely find work when they come; my red paper has already been cut, and if my husband wants to write couplets, he can write it; but it’s good to go shopping today, before parents come Buy new clothes and shoes for the two old people..."

Li Xiaodao answered whatever he wanted, he is on vacation today, just be more casual.

"Then go shopping in the street in the morning, do some shopping in the afternoon, how about doing some housework in the afternoon? The lady has never had any hairpins on her head, so I can buy some new hairpins today," Pei Zhiqi suggested.

Li Xiaodao replied with a smile: "Okay!"

After combing his hair and putting on his make-up, Li Xiaodao locked the gate of the courtyard with his husband and went out.

Now that there is a special carriage, you don't have to walk to buy things on the street, and your husband doesn't need to carry bamboo baskets. You can just put the purchased things in the carriage.

Li Xiaodao went to the medical clinic to find Xiao Xizi to drive the carriage, the two got into the carriage, and the three went out happily together.

Xiao Xizi first drove the carriage to the garment shop, let Miss Li and Mr. Pei Xiucai get off the carriage, and then he found a place where the carriage could park.

This street is the long row of ready-to-wear shops that Li Xiaodao pointed out to Mr. Li on the first day in the provincial capital.

The sun is not very warm in the winter morning, but the streets are already crowded with people, and every clothing store is overcrowded. After all, it is almost the Chinese New Year, and the people have to wear new clothes. Some people make them at home, and some people come to the clothing store buy directly.

"There are so many people..." Li Xiaodao sighed from the bottom of his heart. It seems that this year's big purchases and buying new clothes on the street were a phenomenon that existed in both ancient and modern times.

The places to buy clothes in ancient times were not like the big shopping malls in modern times. The places were limited and there were so many people that she doubted whether she could squeeze in.

Xianggong was afraid that he would get lost, so he held his hand tightly.

"Do you want to go in and have a look?" Pei Zhiqi turned around and asked the lady at the door of a shop.

Li Xiaodao nodded heavily and said: "Go in! Go shopping! Li Xiaodao will never lose!"

Pei Zhiqi turned around with a smile, and led the lady to squeeze inside.

"Madam, let's go slowly. If we get separated later, we'll meet up at the carriage," Pei Zhiqi said as he walked forward.

Li Xiaodao replied "Yes", and kept looking for clothes suitable for older people.

Suddenly she saw a row of shelves, hanging a few jackets of common colors for middle-aged women.

Li Xiaodao pointed to the shelf and shouted to Pei Zhiqi: "Mister! Look over there! There!"

Pei Zhiqi led Li Xiaodao and walked over there.

When there are a lot of people, the store clerks are too busy, and no one greets them at all. If you want to see which one is good, you can go directly to the clerk to pay the money and take it away. And you have to start quickly. If you slow down, the suit you want may be bought by others. up.

After finally squeezing to the target shelf with Xianggong, Li Xiaodao asked Xianggong: "What should we do, we don't seem to know the size of my mother, can we buy it?"

Pei Zhiqi thought about it, "I remember the size of my father's and mother's shoes, but I can only estimate the size of the clothes, and there shouldn't be too much difference."

The two picked and picked, but this family didn't see the suit they wanted, so they squeezed out and rushed to the next family.

Li Xiaodao picked out the colors, Pei Zhiqi looked at the size, and the two cooperated. After shopping around several stores, they finally bought a new dress and shoes for Pei's mother and Pei's father.

The two discussed that today they would just buy it for their parents. If they wanted to buy it, they would come back when there were not so many people. Anyway, they were away from home, and they didn't need to visit any relatives during the Chinese New Year except for their elder brother Li Xiaoxin's family.

The Xianggong's family is even more so. Until now, Li Xiaodao didn't know any other relatives in the Xianggong's family, let alone her, even Xianggong himself didn't know.

Li Xiaodao was holding new clothes in his arms, and Pei Zhiqi was carrying two pairs of new shoes. The two found Xiao Xizi and put the clothes and shoes into the carriage, and then got into the carriage again. Pei Zhiqi said that he would go shopping with his wife again at the grocery store.

Xiao Xizi drove the car for a while, and came to another street. Compared with the clothing store, this street was a different kind of bustling scene.

On both sides of the street are some grocery stores selling odds and ends of daily necessities, as well as jewelry stores, and hairpin flower shops are also open here.

There are also various small vendors on the street, there are tea shops with simple sheds, sugar makers, miscellaneous snacks, and jugglers beating gongs to attract officials. There are adults and children on the street, and it looks a lot messier than the main street where the clothing store was just now.

"Mr. Xiucai and Mrs. Li are strolling slowly. There are many people here, and the carriage may have to be parked farther away. After a while, look for me in that direction. I have to go there to see if there is any place to tie a horse. " Xiao Xizi pointed in the direction and said to Li Xiaodao and Pei Zhiqi.

"Wait a minute! Mr. Xiang also wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Li Xiaodao said to Xiao Xizi and Pei Zhiqi, and trotted to the front after speaking.

The lady's legs were too fast, before Pei Zhiqi had time to ask what she was doing, the lady squeezed into the crowd and disappeared.
