Chapter 181

Li Xiaoxin shook his head and said, "Don't do that, when I'm at home your sister-in-law told me not to drink alcohol because it hurts my health, but when you're here, it's still the same—"

After saying this, all three of them laughed.

The food, wine, bowls and chopsticks were all ready, and the three of them raised their glasses. Li Xiaoxin said some auspicious words to wish his brother-in-law to win the middle school, and then drank it down in one gulp.

Putting down his cup, Li Xiaodao looked at his brother thoughtfully and said, "Brother, it seems that my sister-in-law never drove you out at night. Thinking about it carefully, you haven't even slept in the little guest bedroom you carefully prepared for yourself. You How did you do it?"

Li Xiaoxin smiled and said, "Guess?"

Li Xiaodao looked at his husband, then at his elder brother, "How could I guess... You took the initiative to hand over all the small treasury?"

Li Xiaoxin looked at his brother-in-law in embarrassment while making a "shh--" movement, and then angrily said to Li Xiaodao: "How can there be! How can there be any small treasury! There is nothing!"

Li Xiaodao covered his mouth and smiled, let's talk about a topic other than the small treasury: "Then what good method did brother use?"

Li Xiaoxin whispered: "Now as long as your sister-in-law wants to drive me out at night, I will tell my sister and brother-in-law to see me if I stand outside the house in my underwear at night, so that my sister and brother-in-law will laugh at us, and then she will Never chase me away!"

Li Xiaodao and Xianggong looked at each other and smiled, "Is it good for us to live next door to you? Not bad."

Li Xiaoxin smiled smugly and said: "Thanks to my good vision and wise decision, I let you and my brother-in-law live next door to us. Your sister-in-law sees you two flirting with each other all day long, and your relationship is very good, and she is jealous in her heart. It's much better than before! And my sister is here, even if she wants to have a fit, she has to resist being laughed at by you, which really helped me a lot. It's just..."

Well said, Li Xiaoxin suddenly sighed.

Li Xiaodao asked suspiciously: "Just what? What's wrong with brother? Is there anything unhappy?"

Li Xiaoxin took a mouthful of food, ate it, took another sip of tea, put down the teacup and said slowly: "It's just that you and your brother-in-law are going back to Baima Village next month, and I can't bear to miss you. To be honest, I'm also a little homesick , If you haven’t been here, tell me otherwise, come and go back again, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.”

Brother's words reminded Li Xiaodao suddenly: Yes, the list will be released in the middle of next month. After reading the list, no matter what the result is, she will go back to Baima Village with her husband.

If you fail the exam, you will naturally have to return.

But even if he passed the exam, Xianggong couldn't stay here with other candidates, waiting to take the official car arranged by the government to go to the capital for the exam.Xianggong and she can only go back to Baima Village first, waiting for news from Manager Li.If the situation is not good, Xianggong's imperial examination path will end here, and he can only be a lifetime examiner from now on.

Before the exam, my brother asked my husband what he planned to do after the exam, but he only replied that he would make plans after returning to his hometown. To this day, my brother may still think that my husband is planning to go home to visit relatives, and then take a carriage to the capital to take the exam.

"I said brother-in-law, why do you bother? You might as well rent this house for another year. The provincial capital is closer to the capital than Baima Village. Xiaodao is waiting for you in the provincial capital. You can go directly to Beijing in a government car." How nice, you don’t need to pay, you can eat and drink, and you can use the official posts along the way if you get a fire card. Going by yourself is a toss, and it is dangerous. If you encounter robbers on the high mountain and the long road..."

The elder brother said a lot, but the husband just smiled and remained silent. Li Xiaodao looked at him, and she was suddenly drawn from the joy that he was finally safe, to the sadness of his suffering.

Since the fate of Xianggong being killed can be changed, why can't his fate of not being able to go to Beijing to catch the exam be changed at the same time?Li Xiaodao sighed in his heart.Is it because I am too greedy?But Xianggong has been studying for more than ten years, and even if he wins the exam, he can't be as happy as others. Thinking of this, she still feels panicked.

"Xianggong..." She couldn't help shouting, and lightly held the hand under the Xianggong's table. Xianggong just sat there and didn't pick up food for a long time.

Pei Zhiqi smiled at the lady, "I'm fine."

When Li Xiaoxin finished speaking and stopped to drink tea, Pei Zhiqi asked, "Brother, have you ever considered going back to the hometown with us to visit relatives at the end of next month? During the Chinese New Year, we were unable to reunite because of the Japanese invasion. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I was taking exams. There is no reunion, and now that the exam is finally over, it is time to go home and have a good reunion."

Pei Zhiqi's words made Li Xiaoxin ponder for a long time: "Should I go back now... Let me think about it... Then Baihetang has to be taken care of by someone. If I go back, I will stay for at least a month. If I don't stay in the hospital for too long I think it will affect the business...the most important thing is to get the wife's consent..."

Li Xiaodao said: "Brother, I don't think you need to care about the things around you. You should go home and ask sister-in-law. If sister-in-law agrees, then go back with us!"

"You stinky girl, I know, I know, I'll ask when I get back, come on, let's finish this drink first!" Li Xiaoxin greeted.

After drinking two more cups, Li Xiaoxin said to his sister and brother-in-law: "If you don't want to continue to live, you don't have to worry about this house. The time is only in November. Even if I can't come to the provincial capital in time when I return home, I will Ask someone to handle the matter of renting out the house. If my brother-in-law is really successful, then the owner of this house will be happy to brag about the Feng Shui of his house and raise the price!..." After finishing speaking, Li Xiaoxin laughed uncontrollably .

Li Xiaodao also smiled with his elder brother and chatted for a while, then his elder brother got up and said goodbye and went back to the next door.

After his brother went back, Li Xiaodao was thinking about things while cleaning up the dishes on the table.

I don't know when the news of Guanshi Li will come in September. Although Xianggong is safe now, how exactly Xianggong's family offended Fuguo Prince's Mansion, and who are Xianggong's biological parents are still unknown.

Hey, the happy world after the exam is so short, and I was dragged back by the painful reality all at once.

Just as she was thinking, Li Xiaodao suddenly found that the plate and bowl in her hand had been picked up by her husband. She was a little dazed and raised her head to look at him.

"The lady stood at the door of the kitchen for a long time with the dishes and dishes. I filled up the bath water and came back to see that you are still standing here." Pei Zhiqi smiled as he carried the dishes into the kitchen and put them in the basin for washing: "What is the lady thinking?"

Li Xiaodao also entered the kitchen, picked up a gourd ladle to scoop water from the water tank and poured it into the dishwashing basin, and muttered: "I just feel aggrieved, good people are not rewarded, and I feel unwilling."

Pei Zhiqi looked at the grievance of the lady, raised her hand, and imitated what the lady did to herself last time—scraped gently on the bridge of her nose, and said with a smile: "Silly lady, I'm fine, you don't have to Worry."

Xianggong's words didn't relieve Li Xiaodao's depression, she raised her head and forced a smile at Xianggong, then nodded, "Yes".

Seeing that the lady still couldn't let go, Pei Zhiqi said while washing the dishes: "My lady, do you still remember Shen Ruqian, the master of the Yamen in Anzhou?"

Li Xiaodao put the dishes that Xianggong had brushed into clean water and washed them again, then wiped the water stains with a clean cloth, and then stacked the dishes neatly one by one.

Hearing Xianggong's question, she nodded and replied, "Of course I remember."

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said: "Master Shen talked to me about his story when he made tea with me, my lady, would you like to listen to it?"
