Chapter 183

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, no matter what my parents say, I just want to be myself."

It's a bit heavy to talk about this topic, and it's useless to talk about it before knowing the truth, so Li Xiaodao wanted to change the topic. The story continued: "I have been failing the provincial examination. It sounds really uncomfortable. I hope that the officialdom will be cleared up this year. The husband didn't go to check it. Wouldn't it be because of this that he failed the examination?"

Pei Zhiqi smiled, and replied: "So for the exam, you just need to have a clear conscience, and the rest of the things are out of my control. Originally, I thought that if I won't get a name in the exam, or if I won the exam, I wouldn't be able to go to Beijing for the exam. It’s a pity to be paid, but then I figured it out. If I really want to do something good for the country, the people, and even the folks and elders, then failing to get fame and official status is not enough as an excuse to give up. How big is it? Strength, just apply as much force as possible."

Pei Zhiqi fanned the wind, looked up at the moon, and then said: "If I fail the exam this time, I will go back to my hometown to work on Zhangluo's village school, and be a teacher so that all school-age children in the village have books to read. Do your best."

The moonlight shone on Xianggong's body, bright and pure, and together with his calm and innocent character, formed a beautiful picture, which made Li Xiaodao intoxicated and unable to extricate himself.

After this conversation, Li Xiaodao understood that Xianggong had really figured it out.She was finally relieved.

Li Xiaodao approached the Xianggong next to him, and said in a low voice: "Sanggong, what you say is so gentle and handsome, it makes me want to kiss you again, what do you think?"

When Xianggong heard the sound, he turned his head and had not had time to answer, Li Xiaodao leaned forward and tapped lightly on Xianggong's lips.

After the kiss, she didn't avoid her husband's gaze either, she looked at him with a sweet smile.

Pei Zhiqi was also amused by the naughty lady, he looked at the moon above his head again, then rubbed the lady's head, smiled and said: "It's late, let's take a shower and go to bed."

"En!" Li Xiaodao replied happily.

A good night's sleep.

Early the next morning, Li Xiaodao was woken up by the violent storm outside the window, she got up and looked, good guy, it was wind and rain again, the rain was very strong, and the wind was also very strong, so heavy that it was about to rain It's horizontal.

The sky was clear last night and the moon and stars were sparse. It was windy and rainy early this morning. This is probably another hurricane.

Xianggong is no longer in the bedroom, he should be busy downstairs.Li Xiaodao put on his clothes and tidied up, then went downstairs to find his husband.

When I arrived at the main room, I saw that the breakfast on the table was kept warm with a bowl, and Xiangzheng was arranging the bookshelves in the study.

Li Xiaodao also walked into the study, rubbed his eyes and muttered: "Yesterday it was fine, but today it rained so heavily... Now it's all right, I want to have a big meal with my husband at noon today, see It looks like I might not be able to get out."

Pei Zhiqi stopped what he was doing, turned around and looked at the lady with a smile: "Let's protect the roof of the house from being blown away. There are a few rooms in the side room with simple roofs, I'm afraid they are not very strong."

Li Xiaodao patted the table and said boldly: "Master, I'm reciting a poem right now! That's the line--August Autumn Gao Feng howls!"

Pei Zhiqi smiled and continued the next sentence: "Roll up the triple hut on my house", and then he said to his wife: "Eat breakfast first, it is not suitable to go out today or tomorrow, I just hope that the weather will be better on August ."

Li Xiaodao and Xianggong walked to the table and sat down, and suddenly realized: "Yes! We have to go to Nanshu Temple to fulfill our vows the day after tomorrow! What if it is windy and rainy."

Uncovering the bowl on the plate, below is Xianggong's delicious fried bacon with red cabbage sprouts, green vegetable porridge, and steamed cakes. It is really a delicious breakfast.

After eating breakfast, the bowl had to be taken to the kitchen. The straw on the roof of the simple wooden framed thatched shed connecting the main room and the kitchen had been blown away by the wind, so the two cooperated. Hugged in his arms, Li Xiaodao was holding the bowls and chopsticks in his husband's arms. He was screaming and walked quickly into the kitchen while being drenched in the rain. The two of them looked at each other when they entered the kitchen. The distance between them was less than ten meters. Except for the head, the whole body was already wet, so both of them laughed.

Fortunately, the rain subsided a little in the afternoon, and it cleared up at noon the next day.

"Great! Tomorrow I can travel normally to Nanshu Temple to fulfill my vow!"

As soon as the sun cleared, Li Xiaodao said happily while breathing the fresh air in the courtyard. Pei Zhiqi was also standing in the courtyard, looking at the bald roofs and thatched sheds of the penthouses, thinking that he must call a craftsman before returning at the end of September. Just fix the roof.

Suddenly Li Xiaodao seemed to think of something, and asked Pei Zhi curiously: "Sir, where do I go to see the results of the provincial examination in mid-September? Is it at the gate of the Gongyuan?"

Pei Zhiqi smiled and said: "You can wait at home first. If you win, someone who announces the good news will send you a good news. You just need to wrap some silver coins in advance as red envelopes. If there is no news for many days, we are so close, and we won't worry about it because of the road. If it’s too late, it’s likely to be a failure, so you can go and have a look at that time to confirm.”

"So that's how it is," Li Xiaodao understood, "I'll go and get the red envelopes ready first!"

After saying that, Li Xiaodao ran into the main room from the courtyard, and Pei Zhiqi screamed from behind before it was too late: "My lady—it's still early—"

That's all, Pei Zhiqi smiled and shook his head.

*

On the morning of August th, Li Xiaodao and his grandfather packed up and prepared to go to Nanshu Temple to fulfill their vows.

Although Nanshu Temple was not built on a mountain but on a relatively gentle hillside outside the city, it was also built on a high point of the hillside. The gate of the temple is opened at the bottom of the slope, and it takes a long distance to walk from the bottom of the slope to the top of the slope.

Li Xiaodao and Xianggong took Xiaoxizi's carriage and arrived at the gate of the mountain on time according to their parents' instructions. They planned to stay in the temple until noon before returning.

Except for the time and place, the parents didn't give any hints, and the parents didn't say who they came here to meet, so they got off the carriage and stood at the gate of the mountain after thinking for a while, and decided to follow the normal situation and go in first to fulfill the wish.

"Sanggong, I didn't expect that there are so many people coming to Nanshu Temple because it is neither a year nor a festival!" Li Xiaodao and Xianggong walked slowly inside together. It will take a long time, so they don't need to worry.

"Nanshu Temple is the most popular temple around the provincial capital, so there are naturally many people," Pei Zhiqi replied with a smile.

Li Xiaodao looked back at the door while walking inside. Although there were many people inside the mountain gate, there was not too much noise. Outside the mountain gate, there was a very long market, like a temple fair, selling everything, and it was very lively. .

Pei Zhiqi looked at Li Xiaodao who turned his head frequently and said with a smile: "Mistress, don't worry, when we turn back after noon, let Xiaoxizi lead the carriage and walk slowly, and we will also walk slowly in the market."

Li Xiaodao nodded happily and said, "Good!"
