After showing enough affection outside, Li Nuo and his wife returned to the Song family. Since some people like to spread rumors, use facts to shut them up. Why should my wife suffer this injustice? She likes poetry, so give her poetry. One poem is not enough, so give her a book. With my wife's culture, she can't see what's good about these poems. So Li Nuo opened a bookstore and deliberately set the price of the poetry collection very low so that people who can understand it can read it. "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" is well known in Chang'an, and "Collection of Beautiful Women" cannot be left behind. After this series of moves, no one spreads rumors about him and Fenghuang anymore. The relationship with my wife has also been further improved.
It was not until they walked back to the courtyard that the two of them loosened their clasped hands. Even Song Muer noticed the changes between the two of them during this period of time. She was very pleased with this. They are becoming more and more like a couple. But it's not enough. Where are couples sleeping with two quilts at night? Dad and mom only sleep with one quilt. She was swinging on the swing in the yard, her eyes rolling around, not knowing what she was thinking. Li Nuo sat in the yard reading a book. Before he knew it, it was already mid-November. Although he had made all the preparations, his writing was still his weakness and there was still a lot of room for improvement. A maid from the Song Mansion came in from outside, holding a bunch of things in her arms. She walked into the yard and "crashed" all of them on the table in front of Li Nuo, saying, "Son-in-law, those women sent things again..." Most of these things were letters, and some handkerchiefs and scarves. As soon as "Collection of Beautiful Women" came out, the lady became popular, and Li Nuo also became popular. Letters inviting him to discuss poetry and lyrics flew in like snowflakes every day. Some of these letters came from the courtesans of brothels and music halls, and some came from the ladies of Chang'an. Daxia as a whole respects literature over martial arts. Men like talented women, and women like talented men. Even a martial arts genius like my wife prefers poetry and songs, even if she doesn't understand them at all. For these invitations, whether they are really about discussing poetry or other things, Li Nuo ignores them all. One reason is that he is not interested.
Safety is also an important factor. Women outside are not trustworthy. The so-called invitation may be a cover, and the real purpose is to take his life. Although he has lived a peaceful life for a few days, he has not forgotten the dangers of the previous times. Only with my wife can he feel safe enough. Another fake wife who can give him a sense of security is not in Chang'an now, so Li Nuo even goes to the Ministry of Justice less often. Li Nuo tilted his head and glanced at my wife who was practicing sword. She was not angry at all when these women poached her in front of her. She was really not angry. Not only was she not angry, but every night, she would open the letters with Li Nuo to see what those women wrote in the letters. Li Nuo suspected that she had practiced it. At the beginning, those rumors were so fierce outside, and Li An Ning accidentally spread them, but they still came through safely. Compared with those, the implicit invitations in these letters are really nothing. When the sky gradually darkened, Li Nuo went back to his room to read. I don’t know what happened to Mu’er today. Usually at this time, she would have gone back to her room to sleep. Until very late today, she was still playing in their room. She sat on the bed, holding a water cup in one hand and flipping through a picture album with the other hand. “Ouch!” At a certain moment, her exclamation suddenly came to Li Nuo’s ears. Li Nuo turned his head and saw her looking at the quilt on the bed with a distressed face. The water cup in her hand was overturned on the bed, and the quilt was wet. Song Mu’er looked back at Li Nuo and said pitifully: “I accidentally wet the quilt…” Li Nuo said: “It doesn’t matter, it’s wet.” Could a big family like the Song family still lack quilts? He picked up the quilt that was wet by Mu'er and hung it outside. Song Jiaren brought a new quilt from the wing room. There were quilts prepared for guests in the wing room next door, which could be used temporarily. Song Mu'er looked at Li Nuo, then at Song Jiaren, sighed helplessly, and said, "I'll go back to my room to sleep..." When she returned to the room, Song Ning'er was still asleep.
Song Mu'er sat on the edge of the bed, with a thoughtful look on her face. She had limited power alone and needed Song Ning'er's help. But she didn't know if she would agree. Although she was unsure, she still wanted to give it a try. Song Mu'er looked at the other self on the bed opposite and said, "Song Ning'er." Song Ning'er was fiddling with a doll, looked up and glanced, and asked, "What are you doing?" ... The next morning, Li Nuo hung the quilt that was wet by Mu'er outside, and it was still not dry. It was already mid-winter, and although it hadn't snowed yet, the weather was already very cold. Mu'er drank sugar water, so even if it was dried, she couldn't cover herself with it directly. In order to prevent the quilt from getting moldy, Li Nuo gave the quilt to the maids in the Song Mansion and asked them to wash it thoroughly. During the day, Li Nuo went to the Ministry of Justice. The Anti-theft Department was operating as usual. In the past month, the number of thieves caught every day has stabilized at a very low number. There are always people who want to get something for nothing. There are endless thieves in this world. Although the performance has decreased, Li Nuo did not let them idle. Every few days, he would ask the people from the county government to take them to the streets to popularize anti-theft knowledge for the people. Unless they can truly understand the true meaning of theft and can steal from a distance, the people can avoid theft in most cases by being more careful on weekdays. This month, several ordinary murders occurred in Chang'an. There is no difficulty in solving them, but Li Anning is not there, Li Nuo is not familiar with the officials of the Ministry of Justice, and he has no chance to intervene in these cases. I really miss Li Anning a little after not seeing her for a month. Mainly because he has more work to do when she is there. Li Nuo stayed in the Ministry of Justice until the end of the yamen. Although he did not wait for any opportunities, he did not gain nothing. After practicing calligraphy with Xiao Gu for a month, his calligraphy has improved greatly. Although it is still far from being comparable to her, it is at least decent. Not long after, Li Nuo left the Ministry of Justice and returned to the Song Mansion. At the same time, a convoy slowly drove into the gate of Chang'an. The guards at the gate bowed and saluted when they saw the carriage in front. Li Anning sat in the carriage and returned to Chang'an again. She was looking forward to it. Although she didn't know what she was looking forward to.
The carriage drove for a while, slowly stopped, and didn't start for a long time. She lifted the curtain and asked, "What's wrong?" The female official driving the carriage said, "Your Highness, there are many people gathered in front, and the road is blocked." Li Anning looked forward and saw many people gathered not far away. She jumped off the carriage and said, "Anyway, we are almost there, I will go over." When she passed the place where the crowd gathered, she found that this was a shop. People gathered here, seemingly to buy something, crowded on the street outside the shop, arguing endlessly. "I came here first!" "It's obviously me who came first, sell it to me first!" "Don't push, don't push, we printed a lot more this time, everyone can get one!" "Everyone line up, don't block the traffic!" ... Most of the people queuing here are young women. Judging from their clothes, they may be maids from wealthy families. Li Anning thought that this shop sold women's things such as rouge and powder, but when she saw them happily holding a thin book, curiosity appeared on her face. What kind of book was it that made them fight so hard? Driven by curiosity, she also lined up in the queue and bought a copy. The price of this book is not expensive, it can be bought for fifty coins, compared with other expensive books, this price is conscience. Li Anning felt that this bookseller could not make any money at all. I don't know what he is after. "Collection of Beautiful Women". The name of the book is very strange, she casually turned a page. "There is a beauty in the north, peerless and independent. One look from her can make the city fall in love with her, another look can make the country fall in love with her..." Haha, she is quite good at flattering. How beautiful must a woman be to make people not even want her country? This is too exaggerated... There is another line of small words below the poem. In October of the 33rd year of the Holy Emperor, it was presented to his wife, the Beauty. It turned out to be a love poem, presented to his wife, the Beauty. There is actually a woman with this name. She knew that there was only one person named the Beauty. Li Anning suddenly realized something and turned back to the cover again. At the bottom of the cover of this book, there are two small words that are easy to ignore.
Li Nuo. Is it such a coincidence that the two people have the same name. She was stunned and opened the book again. The beauty hides the present and the past, the lotus is ashamed of the jade face..., haha, how dare you to praise. The beauty will meet for a thousand years..., haha, you should live for a hundred years first. A glance at the crowd, the color of the world is like dust..., hehe, only Song Jiaren is the most beautiful in the world, they are all dust, you really dare to write! The mountains have no edges, the rivers are dry, the winter thunders, the summer rains and snows, the heaven and earth merge, and I dare to break up with you..., hehe, she doesn't know whether she dares to break up with you, but she knows clearly that you don't even let you hold your hand. The maids who helped their young lady buy "Collection of Beautiful Women" all had smiles on their faces. In the crowd, there was only one woman whose smile was getting colder and colder. She looked at the poetry book expressionlessly, and at this time, a melodious song came from the music hall opposite. "There is a beauty, I never forget her. If I don't see her for a day, I miss her like crazy. The phoenix flies and soars, and the four seas seek the phoenix..." A woman said with envy: "If someone writes such a poem for me, there will be no regrets in this life..." Another woman glanced at her and hit her mercilessly: "Don't dream, you must have the talent and beauty of that Phoenix girl first to be worthy of this "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"..." After the voice fell, a woman with a proud figure looked at her and asked: "Sister, I just came to Chang'an from another place. This song is very nice. I want to ask, what you said just now..." "You mean "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", this is a poem that Mr. Li gave to Phoenix girl in Yuyin Pavilion. Everyone in Chang'an knows it. You are from another place, so it's normal that you haven't heard it..." The proud woman breathed a sigh of relief and murmured: "Is that so..." It seems that many wonderful things happened in Chang'an during her absence for a month...
