Chapter 211 Lotus Tower (14)
After Ji Xiao stepped out of the room, Li Xiangyi walked forward, gently closed and locked the remaining door. Then, he walked forward, took Ji Xiao's hand, and walked towards the carriage parked outside the door.
When they approached, they saw Fang Duobing sitting at the shaft of the carriage with an excited look on his face, and he shouted impatiently: "Master, please get on the carriage! I will drive the carriage this time."
Li Xiangyi rolled his eyes helplessly, then pulled Ji Xiao into the carriage first, and then came out again after a while. The other party asked naggingly: "Do you know how to drive a horse and a carriage?"
Fang Duobing touched his head somewhat embarrassedly and answered hesitantly: "Uh... Actually I'm not quite there yet, but I can learn. I've always been a fast learner."
"Haha." Li Xiangyi chuckled, "Besides, I'm not your master. Don't call me like that in the future, so as not to cause me unnecessary trouble. If your parents hear about this, they will probably come to your house to argue with you."
However, Fang Duobing was stubborn and said without backing down: "No, I insist on calling you that! You are the master I have chosen, and you have never argued before. And if my parents knew that I had found you, they would be overjoyed. How could they not allow me to worship you as their master?"
"Oh, really? Then listen carefully. I'll only tell you once. Don't whip them too hard with the whip. You just need to keep an eye on them and don't let them run around."
After he finished speaking, he rolled his eyes secretly in his heart, then turned and went into the house, still complaining in his heart: You still say that you are not stupid, but who would rush to find work for me?
Fang Duobing didn't care at all about Li Xiangyi's bad attitude. After all, everyone has his or her own little temper!
So he just responded casually, "Oh." Then he waved the whip in his hand and drove the horse to move forward.
However, at this moment, Li Xiangyi seemed to suddenly remember that there was something he had not explained clearly, so he hurried out of the house and shouted loudly: "Remember to stop when we get to Jishiditang later."
"Oh, I see." Fang Duobing responded again.
Along the way, Fang Duobing remained silent and concentrated on driving the carriage, fearing that this huge carriage, as big as a house, would deviate from the road and hit pedestrians along the way.
When passersby saw this iconic carriage, they stopped and looked around curiously. Soon, they noticed Li Xiangyi and his wife sitting on the second-floor terrace, so someone asked, "Dr. Li, Madam Li, where are you going?"
"Yes, where are you and your wife going?"
Li Xiangyi looked at the people around him with a smile and replied calmly, "The reason for this trip is, firstly, to find some rare herbs for emergency use; secondly, I want to take this opportunity to take my wife around and enjoy the scenery along the way."
Hearing him say this, everyone expressed their concern: "That's great, Madam has been very hard-working during this period, it's good to take her out for a walk. But you must be more careful when you go out!"
"That's right, that's right, don't tire yourself out."
"May your journey be smooth and safe."
"Okay, thank you all for your good wishes. It's getting late now, so everyone should go home early to prepare meals."
"Okay, see you later."
"Yeah, see you later."
Ji Xiao sat quietly aside, with a faint smile on her face, listening to Li Xiangyi's happy conversation with the villagers. This lively and humane scene made her a little overwhelmed, after all, she was not good at dealing with such a warm atmosphere.
In the past, most of the household affairs were handled by the housekeeper Song Bo and the maid Banxia, and since marrying Li Xiangyi, these interpersonal relationships have also been handled by him. Ji Xiao can handle ordinary interactions with ease, but facing such overly enthusiastic situations, she is really a little overwhelmed.
The villagers also knew that Li Xiangyi's wife was not good at speaking, so they usually just greeted her and then turned to chat with Li Xiangyi. When they parted, everyone waved goodbye, showing the simple folk customs.
