Chapter 173 Ancient Times (27)
The next morning, Banxia got up early and started preparing breakfast. After she and A'da had a simple breakfast, she put Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi's food on the stove to warm it up. Then she took A'da out to buy some fresh vegetables and seasonings.
Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi came out of the room almost at the same time. Their doors were facing each other, so they saw each other as soon as they opened the door. The moment he saw Ji Xiao, Li Xiangyi subconsciously used the graceful steps to come to Ji Xiao's side.
"Good morning, Xiaoxiao!" Then he calmly took Ji Xiao's hand and said, "Your hands are a little cold, let me warm them up for you."
If you don't look at his red ears, you will be fooled by him, Ji Xiao thought in her heart, he is still a pure and innocent dog! So cute, I want to pet him!
But when you open the door in the morning, you can see a handsome guy, and he is a sunny and handsome man. Who wouldn't be happy and confused? Ji Xiao was still able to control her eager hands, but Ji Xiao still responded to him in a gentle tone, and then let Li Xiangyi lead her.
"Good morning, Xiangyi! Did you have a good rest last night?"
But if someone who didn't know the situation was different, they would think that she didn't like it! Who made Ji Xiao have no other expression on her face!
"Well, I haven't had a good rest for a long time. I slept very comfortably."
While the two were having breakfast, Banxia and Ada were packing their luggage. By the time they had packed all the belongings and loaded them onto the carriage, it was already afternoon.
This time, the number of carriages for the return trip was changed from two for four people to three. Ji Xiao and Li Xiangyi's carriage was driven by Li Xiangyi, Banxia drove the carriage in the middle, and Ada was at the end.
When the weather was good, Ji Xiao would stay outside with Li Xiangyi. When the weather was bad, she would let the horse walk by itself, or find a place with flat terrain and convenient water source to rest, and then continue on the road when they had rested enough.
Since there was little good weather along the way, by the time Ji Xiao and his party arrived in Qingyun Town, it was already the twelfth lunar month, and in two days it would be Laba Festival.
The New Year's goods have to be prepared one after another. Fortunately, Ji Xiao has been sending things back along the way, and many of them can be directly given as New Year's gifts.
Finally, at noon on the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the group finally arrived home. Since entering Qingyun Prefecture, the carriage has moved much faster, after all, the road is cemented.
Uncle Song was already waiting at the door with his men. As soon as Ji Xiao's carriage stopped, Uncle Song walked over.
"Girl, you are finally back." Then Song Bo looked at Li Xiangyi who was standing next to Ji Xiao, "Mr. Li."
"Uncle Song."
"Uncle Song, let's go in first."
"Ok."
"Xiang Yi went in."
"coming."
Since Ji Xiao returned home until the Laba Festival, she had no time to rest properly. Because Ji Xiao had people prepare the ingredients for cooking Laba porridge, some of which were sent to the temple, and some were used as alms for Laba porridge. Then she had to arrange the New Year gifts, deal with the things accumulated in the past six months, and then find time to check the accounts, so she was busy until the Laba Festival.
On the morning of Laba Day, Li Xiangyi and Ji Xiao had a simple breakfast at home, and then brought the cooked Laba porridge to the place of alms and distributed it. The porridge was cooked by Ji Xiao using diluted spiritual spring water, so it has a certain fitness effect.
Around 10 o'clock in the morning, all the Laba porridge had been distributed, so when going back, Ji Xiao said to Li Xiangyi, "I have to go to my uncle's house today to deliver Laba porridge, and also deliver the New Year gifts in person, so I won't be at home all day."
After hearing this, Li Xiangyi looked at Ji Xiao pitifully and said, "Can I go with you?"
"Then in what capacity do you want to go?"
Li Xiangyi said uncertainly, "Your fiancé?"
Ji Xiao raised her eyebrows and said meaningfully, "Oh~ Just a fiancé?"
Instantly, Li Xiangyi came to Ji Xiao's side, hugged her into his arms, and said, "As your husband, it's not impossible for me to go with you."
Ji Xiao let him hug her, while she leaned in Li Xiangyi's arms, holding his face with both hands, shaking it left and right and looking at it.
"Your face is still as handsome as before, and your skin is still as good as before, but it has only been a short time, how come you have become so shameless?"
Li Xiangyi let Ji Xiao touch his face, and he continued to kiss and rub her. In Li Xiangyi's eyes, any behavior of Ji Xiao was so cute.
So Li Xiangyi exclaimed, "Xiaoxiao, you are so cute! I like you~" and then hugged her and took a deep breath, "And you smell good too."
Ji Xiao reluctantly stepped out of Li Xiangyi's arms, looked at him and said, "You think I'm cute because you like me, and you're like a big puppy right now, kissing and rubbing against me."
"Really? But that's not important. What's important now is that this is my first time going to my uncle's house with you. Do you want to bring some other gifts? And they don't even know me. Is it okay for us to just go there like this? I'm a little nervous now."
Ji Xiao touched Li Xiangyi's head and said, "It's okay. I asked the housekeeper to send a letter to my uncle the day I got home, so you don't have to be so nervous. My uncle is prepared."
"That's good. I was afraid my uncle wouldn't agree!"
"No, well, we're home now, let's get a carriage and go!"
"Uh-huh."
Afterwards, the two of them changed to another carriage and were driven by the coachman to where their uncle's family lived in the back mountain of the academy. They stayed at their uncle's house until the afternoon, when they were allowed to leave.
