Chapter 139 Sisters united in purpose can accomplish anything!
night.
Song Mansion.
Li Nuo and Song Jiaren sat on either side of the desk, one reading essays on previous imperial examinations, and the other reading a martial arts master's insights into swordsmanship.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Nuo closed the book and said in surprise, "Why didn't I see Mu'er today?"
In the past, Mu'er spent most of her time with them until bedtime.
Li Nuo sometimes even felt that she was too clingy to him and his wife.
This left them with a lot less space for two people.
Song Jiaren closed the book and said, "I don't know. I just saw Ning'er chasing her..."
Li Nuo also put away the book and said, "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
Just as he was about to close the door, a figure suddenly broke into the yard.
Li Nuo looked at Mu'er, who was soaking wet and panicking, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Song Muer ran into the room and said, "Song Ning'er is chasing me, Brother Li Nuo, let me hide for a while..."
As soon as he finished speaking, another figure caught up.
Song Ning'er was also soaking wet, holding a small basin in her arms, and said angrily: "Song Mu'er, don't run!"
For some unknown reason, the two sisters started quarreling again.
If she were outside, Song Muer would have a place to hide.
Ning'er was not as strong as her, and she was holding a small basin of water in her arms, so she couldn't catch up with her at all.
But she ran into the room and was blocked by Song Ning'er, leaving her with nowhere to hide.
Crash!
Song Ning'er poured all the water in the small basin onto Song Mu'er.
Li Nuo finally understood why both of them were wet.
A basin of water was poured over, not only Mu'er was soaked like a drowned chicken, but even Li Nuo's bed was half wet. The quilt that had just been changed yesterday was also wet and could no longer be used to cover himself.
"Song Ning'er, just wait for me!"
After pouring the water, Song Ning'er ran away. Song Mu'er chased after her and soon disappeared from the sight of Li Nuo and Song Jiaren.
They came quickly and left quickly.
Li Nuo and Song Jiaren looked at the half-wet bed and quilt, with helpless expressions.
Song Jiaren picked up the quilt to prevent the mattress underneath from getting wet, and then said to Li Nuo: "I'll go get another quilt..."
They originally had three quilts.
One bed was accidentally wet by Mu'er yesterday, and it was not dry yet after being washed today. The other bed that was just changed today was wetted by Ning'er again.
The two sisters even do this matter in exactly the same way.
Song Jiaren was out for a long time before coming back.
When she walked back to the room, her hands were empty.
Li Nuo was slightly stunned and asked, "Where is the quilt?"
…
Li Nuo never expected that all the quilts in the Song Mansion would be destroyed by the two sisters.
In the afternoon, the two sisters started quarreling for some reason.
Ning'er poured a basin of water on Mu'er. Of course, Mu'er would not let it go and poured a basin of water back at her.
If things ended here, it would be fine.
But once the two sisters start a fight, they will never give up.
Ning'er took advantage of Mu'er's unpreparedness and poured a basin of water on her, soaking the clothes she had just changed. Mu'er chased her all over the Song Mansion. Even if she hid in her parents' bed, she could not escape Mu'er's pursuit.
As a result, my fourth uncle and his wife's quilt also suffered.
Now it's Ning'er's turn to chase Mu'er.
Mu'er hid in the room of his second uncle and his wife. After being found by Ning'er, another quilt was wet.
The two of them chased each other like this, one after another, and became the quilt killers of the Song Mansion.
Originally, the Song Mansion had many spare quilts for the beds.
Because of their commotion, all the quilts were replaced.
The lady went out and asked around, but there wasn't even a single extra quilt.
When she came back, Mu'er and Ning'er were being spanked by their mother, and she couldn't stop it.
Li Nuo was very confused after hearing this.
It would be fine if Ning'er was just being naughty, but why did Mu'er follow her in making trouble?
It's so cold, he can't sleep at night without anything covering him, right?
Although my relationship with my wife has developed rapidly these days, it has not yet reached the point where we sleep under the same quilt.
Li Nuo thought about it and could only say, "I'll sleep in the side room tonight. I should be fine if I cover myself with more clothes. Tomorrow, I'll ask Butler Wu to bring a few quilts from the Li residence..."
He turned and walked out of the room. When he reached the door, a voice suddenly came from behind him: "Forget it. It's too cold at night. Be careful not to catch a cold."
Li Nuo turned around and looked at his wife with a look of surprise on his face.
Song Jiaren spread out the only quilt and said, "Let's just cover ourselves with one quilt..."
…
“A-choo!”
“A-choo!”
In another room in the Song Mansion, two sisters were lying on the bed and sneezed at the same time.
Song Muer touched her nose and said to Song Ning'er, "Thank you."
Song Ning'er's butt was burning with pain, tears welled up in her eyes, but she still pretended to be strong and said, "Hmph, no need to thank me, I'm helping Brother Li Nuo, not you!"
She has always felt guilty towards Brother Li Nuo.
I treated her so well in the past, but she is still so good to me. No matter what good things I give to Song Muer, I will prepare one for her as well.
In order to repay him, it is reasonable to suffer a little grievance.
Song Muer didn't argue with Song Ning'er. She lay on the bed, feeling exhausted and soon fell asleep...
At the same time, Li Nuo, who was lying on the bed, was not sleepy at all.
He never thought that the first time he shared the bed with his wife was because of Mu'er and Ning'er's unintentional mistake.
Everything is destined by God.
Just do your job and don’t worry about east or west.
All your efforts will be rewarded.
If it weren't for the continuous strategy over the past month, she would never have invited me to sleep with her even if there was only one quilt left.
He turned his head and saw that his wife had fallen asleep.
The bed was very large. Even though they shared the same quilt, there was still some distance between their bodies.
But this is the only distance left.
A few months passed, and before they knew it, their relationship had gone through a lot...
Soon, Li Nuo fell into a contented sleep.
Beside him, Song Jiaren's long eyelashes trembled and her eyes slowly opened.
She tilted her head slightly to take a look, and a touching curve appeared at the corner of her mouth.
…
The next day, when Li Nuo got up, there was no one around him.
There was still a hint of warmth and rich fragrance in the quilt.
Song Jiaren came in with breakfast. Li Nuo had breakfast and did not mention what happened last night. Everything was as usual.
However, when Butler Wu came in and asked him if he wanted to go out today, Li Nuo said, "After you send me to the Ministry of Justice, go to the Li Mansion to get two quilts..."
Song Jiaren's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't say anything.
A moment later, at the entrance of the criminal department.
Li Nuo jumped off the carriage, and Butler Wu asked, "Master, are two quilts enough?"
Li Nuo asked: "What quilt?"
Butler Wu was surprised and said, "Didn't the young master just say..."
Li Nuo said: "No need to take it. If the young lady asks, just say you forgot..."
It is normal that Butler Wu is old and has a poor memory.
After telling him to forget about the incident, Li Nuo walked into the Ministry of Justice.
When he arrived at the yamen, Li Nuo was slightly stunned.
There was a familiar figure sitting behind the table in the room.
Li Nuo said in surprise: "You're back!"
Li Anning just raised his eyes slightly and nodded expressionlessly.
Li Nuo was stunned.
Considering the relationship between the two of us, after not seeing each other for a whole month, even if you don’t give him a warm hug, at least you can give him a warm smile, right?
Who offended her again?
However, she has been guarding her mother's tomb for the past month, so it is normal for her to be in a bad mood.
Give her some time to relax.
He didn't say anything else and sat silently opposite Li Anning.
After a while, a constable brought a stack of files and said, "Your Highness, these are some files that have been accumulated over the past few days. After you stamp them, you can submit them to the Dali Temple..."
Li Anning nodded and said calmly, "Leave it there."
Li Nuo is waiting.
Usually, Li Anning would let him do this kind of things.
But he waited for the whole morning, and Li Anning didn't even mention it.
When he was about to go back for lunch, Li Anning suddenly coughed lightly a few times.
Li Nuo didn't care. When he walked to the door of the yamen, he heard her cough twice more, and it was heavier than before.
Li Nuo turned around and said with concern: "Your throat is uncomfortable. When I come this afternoon, I will bring you a bottle of loquat juice..."
Li An Ning said softly: "When I came to the Ministry of Justice this morning, I heard a poem, but I don't quite understand its meaning. You are very knowledgeable about poetry, right? Can you help me analyze it..."
Li Nuo walked back and sat down opposite her again, and asked, "What poem?"
Li Anning leaned back in his chair, folded his arms, and said, "There is a beauty, I never forget her when I see her. I miss her like crazy when I don't see her for a day... I wish I could be as virtuous as you and go hand in hand with you. If I can't fly, I will perish."
Li Nuo thought for a moment and explained, "This is a fu. It's titled "Character", but it's actually about aspirations. The beauty here refers to lofty ideals. The whole fu is apparently about the pursuit of beauty but not getting it, but in fact it expresses the author's unfulfilled ambitions and his worries about the country and the people..."
