Chapter 144 Humble Phoenix
The second day.
early morning.
At the Ministry of Justice, Li An Ning walked into the government office and saw a figure sitting on a chair. He asked in surprise, "Why are you free to come here today?"
In fact, Li Nuo had not originally planned to come here.
But early in the morning, Fenghuang came over to teach my mother how to play the piano.
After all, Li Nuo is not as ruthless as Fenghuang.
It is better to stay in the Ministry of Justice than to suffer at home.
Li Anning handed over the bun in his hand and asked, "Have you had breakfast?"
Li Nuo came out in a hurry and had not eaten breakfast yet.
He didn't hesitate and took a bun from Li Anning.
Li Anning took a bite of the bun and asked, "By the way, how are you and Fenghuang?"
Li Nuo said: "Nothing serious."
He glanced at Li Anning and asked, "Why do you care so much about Phoenix?"
Li Anning lowered his head and pretended to be nonchalant, saying, "Is it not okay to ask out of curiosity?"
In fact, she accidentally heard some news on her way to the Ministry of Justice today.
Regarding the rumors about him and Phoenix that were circulating a few days ago, Phoenix actually took the initiative to refute them.
She knew very well what Fenghuang was thinking.
She actually took the initiative to refute the rumor. Could it be that she really had misunderstood it before?
At this time, there were many people who had the same questions as Li Anning.
Yuyin Pavilion is just a small music house, far from being comparable to giants like Tianyin Court and Lelai Tower. The reason why it has been able to surpass these long-established music houses and brothels in fame in the past few months is entirely because of the son of the Dali Temple Minister.
Unexpectedly, after Yuyin Pavilion became the top music troupe in Chang'an, she immediately cut off her relationship with that big shot.
At first, there were rumors that she had been abandoned by her boyfriend and wanted to find another partner.
But soon, someone confirmed that this Phoenix girl was still a virgin.
It is not difficult to judge this. A martial artist at a high level can determine whether a person is a Yuanyang or Yuanyin body based on his aura.
Now, those rumors were really shattered.
A certain circle in Chang'an also began to become restless.
They didn't dare to have any thoughts about the woman of the son of the Dali Temple Minister.
Since they are not in that kind of relationship, who will eventually win the beauty depends on their own abilities.
Although Chang'an has just selected the top ten courtesans.
But in people's minds, there is someone else who is the leader.
The Phoenix is a top beauty.
A top-notch beauty who is still innocent can arouse a man's desire to conquer her.
Yuyin Pavilion is famous because of the son of the Dali Temple Minister.
But after severing ties with that person, Yuyin Pavilion became even more famous.
For the upper class dignitaries and officials in Chang'an, they would not care about the romantic affairs in these brothels.
But in the social circles of Chang'an, the impact of this incident was indeed not small.
Somewhere in a quaint and quiet garden.
Elegant small buildings are located in the garden, and melodious music can be heard from time to time.
This is one of the largest music halls in Chang'an, Lelai Tower.
Lelailou sounds like a music house, but in fact it is a brothel, music house, dance hall and restaurant in one. It is a large entertainment center whose main target customers are the dignitaries of Chang'an.
The reason why it was named "Lefang" is because "music" is one of the six arts. Some high-end brothels were unwilling to use vulgar names such as "Baihualou" and "Kuaihuolou".
On the second floor of a small building in Lelai Tower, a middle-aged woman frowned and asked, "Really?"
A servant in blue stood below and bowed, saying, "It is absolutely true. The news was spread by Yuyin Pavilion. That Fenghuang and the son of the Dali Temple Minister are not in that kind of relationship. He has not been to Yuyin Pavilion for more than a month..."
The middle-aged woman finally realized something after hearing this. Anger appeared on her face and she said angrily, "We were all deceived by that bitch. I'm afraid this was all a play she put on from the beginning to the end!"
The middle-aged woman was so angry that her teeth were itching.
If Yuyin Pavilion hadn't interfered, Lelai Tower would have had two more vacancies for the top courtesans this year.
They put in a lot of effort, hired people to write poems, and spent a lot of money to create hype. The two courtesans they promoted were eventually overthrown by the two people from Yuyin Pavilion.
If they cannot become the oiran, all the resources previously spent on them will be wasted.
The wasted money and energy are secondary.
More importantly, she has already found places for the two chosen courtesans.
These talented prostitutes, if they are known as the Oirans, are very popular in the circles of minor nobles. Even if they are just concubines, they can bring considerable benefits to Lelai Tower in the future.
The oiran failed to win the election, and the two of them were abandoned, and one of her great hopes was dashed.
Not only that, many of Lelailou’s regular customers were also taken away by Yuyin Pavilion.
She had long disliked Yuyin Pavilion, especially during this period.
It costs fifty taels of silver to see her once. Her face is covered with gold. The most famous girl in Lelai Tower only costs this much.
If it weren't for the fear of the man behind her, Yuyin Pavilion would have been removed from Chang'an long ago.
In fact, if you think about it, her background is not bad. Who can achieve such a scale in Chang'an without some bigwigs behind him?
But I still adhered to the principle that less trouble is worse than more, and I kept holding my breath.
If Yuyin Pavilion had always been taking advantage of the power of others, then she wouldn't mind settling all the old and new accounts with her.
However, to be cautious, she still had to do some investigation to see if she was really a virgin.
Other things can be faked, but this one cannot.
…
Song Mansion.
Li Nuo was sitting in the yard when he heard the sound of the piano coming from the room...
Let's call it the sound of the piano.
He looked down and saw goose bumps on his arms.
After a while, Phoenix walked out of the room with a haggard look.
Li Nuo felt uncomfortable even though he was so far away, let alone her who was so close to him.
Li Nuo couldn't help but feel a little sympathy for her. He poured her a cup of tea and said, "Have a drink of water."
Fenghuang took the teacup with both hands. Drinking the cold tea actually made her feel happy.
This was the first time he offered her tea.
She was indeed a little thirsty. After drinking the cup of tea, she handed the cup back and said, "Thank you..."
Li Nuo took the empty cup. Fenghuang noticed a stain on his sleeve and was stunned for a moment before saying, "Sir, your clothes are dirty. Take them off and I'll help you wash them..."
What was on Li Nuo's sleeves was actually tea.
Just as he picked up the teacup, the sound of his wife's piano suddenly came from the room.
He was so frightened that his hands shook and the tea spilled onto his sleeves.
Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "No need, the maid at home can wash it."
Fenghuang's hand had already grabbed his sleeve and said, "This is tea stain. You need to wash it as soon as possible, otherwise it won't be clean. Sir, you should take it off. I will wash it quickly..."
While she was talking, Li Nuo's coat had been forcibly taken off by her.
Without waiting for Li Nuo to refuse, she pushed him into the house and said, "Sir, go in and change your clothes. It's cold, don't catch a cold..."
It was indeed very cold to stay in the yard after taking off clothes. Li Nuo returned to the room and saw his wife playing the piano attentively according to the score, but none of the parts she played were on the score.
He changed his clothes and when he walked outside, he saw the clothes soaked in a basin of water. Fenghuang was squatting on the ground, rubbing the stain on his sleeve vigorously.
The water in winter is freezing cold, and even the maids in the Song mansion mix hot water when washing clothes.
Her hands were red from the cold, and every time she rubbed them, she would bring them to her mouth and blow out a breath of hot air.
Seeing this scene, Li Nuo felt that he was really committing a sin.
The head of Yuyin Pavilion, who was sought after by thousands of people in Chang'an and earned hundreds of taels of silver every minute, had to endure tremendous mental torture as well as physical abuse when he arrived at the Song Mansion.
Li Nuo walked up to her, grabbed her arm, pulled her up, and said, "Forget it, don't wash it..."
Fenghuang rubbed her slender, white, but red hands from the cold, tears welling up in her eyes. She looked at him pitifully and whispered, "Can you forgive me?"
At this moment, an unprecedented feeling emerged in Li Nuo's heart.
The wife is angry, and he has to coax her.
Li Anning was angry, and he had to find a way to make her happy.
He has always been the one to coax others, but he never expected that being coaxed by others would feel so good...
After coming to his senses, he waved his hand, and said in a lighter tone: "This won't happen again..."
Fenghuang finally smiled, wiped her tears, and said, "Thank you, sir!"
As she walked out of the Song Mansion, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
Children have a temper, so easy to appease...
It would be interesting to have such a husband.
I don't know what Miss Song is dissatisfied with. The two of them are still innocent until now. Isn't she worried that he will be snatched away by someone else...
