Chapter 146: Phoenix in Trouble
Song Jiaren stood up hurriedly and said, "I'm going to practice..."
After she escaped from the room, Song Muer looked at Li Nuo and said in a low and apologetic voice: "I'm sorry, Brother Li Nuo, I came at the wrong time..."
Li Nuo touched her head and didn't say anything.
But it must be said that she came at a bad time.
This was his first kiss, and before he could even feel it, it ended so abruptly.
No, it was just lip contact.
How can it be called a first kiss if you didn’t even stick out your tongue?
Li Nuo walked out of the door and watched his wife practice sword quietly.
Being looked at like this by him, Song Jia was a little confused, and her swordsmanship also became messy...
Song Muer tugged at Li Nuo's sleeve and said, "Brother Li Nuo, I also want to learn piano..."
Li Nuo usually would not refuse Mu'er's request.
He originally thought that teaching Muer to play the piano would be another kind of torture.
Unexpectedly, Muer is unexpectedly talented in music.
Li Nuo only taught her for a short while and she was able to play simple tunes.
After teaching Mu'er, Ning'er is naturally indispensable.
They are twins, not only do they look alike, but they also have similar talents in all aspects. Ning'er will soon be able to play the piano by herself.
Li Nuo glanced at the lady who was practicing sword and felt very confused.
They are all daughters of the Song family. Mu'er and Ning'er are relatively normal, but why doesn't my wife have any artistic talent?
After much thought, Li Nuo guessed that it might be the genes from her mother's side.
Li Nuo didn't know anything about his mother-in-law.
It was embarrassing to ask my wife these questions. The next day, after leaving the Song Mansion and getting on the carriage, Li Nuo asked Butler Wu, "Old Wu, do you know the beautiful lady's mother?"
Butler Wu said, "At that time, the master's family and Lord Song's family often visited each other, so I naturally knew Madam Song, but I haven't seen her for many years."
Li Nuo asked: "What kind of person is she?"
Butler Wu recalled for a moment and said, "Mrs. Song, she is a very powerful person..."
Li Nuo asked curiously, "How is it so powerful?"
Butler Wu said: "Madam Song is a rare martial arts genius. She was born in a famous sect. She entered the fourth realm of martial arts at the age of sixteen. At the age of thirty, she learned from many masters and became a master of swordsmanship. In the future, she is likely to become a strong person in the sixth realm. Even the young lady is not as good as she was back then..."
Li Nuo took a breath of cold air.
Now, he finally had a deep understanding of how powerful his mother-in-law was.
Although Grandmasters are rare, the world is so big that there are at least eight hundred strong people of this level, if not one thousand.
But a master at the age of thirty is really rare.
Li Nuo thought that his wife's talent in martial arts came from the hidden genes of the Song family, but he didn't expect it to come from his mother-in-law.
No, to be precise, it is the result of the powerful combination of the two genes.
Compared with other families, martial arts pays great attention to bloodline. The more talented the parents are, the more likely they are to give birth to children with high martial arts talent.
Li Nuo couldn't help but become curious about how his father-in-law and mother-in-law got together.
One is a martial arts genius that is rarely seen in a century.
The other is a weak scholar with no talent for martial arts.
They are people from completely two different worlds.
Butler Wu seemed to have seen through Li Nuo's thoughts and explained with a smile: "Although Lord Song is old now, he was also a romantic and talented man famous in Chang'an. In fact, it was Madam Song who pursued Lord Song first..."
It was the first time that Li Nuo heard gossip about his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Back then, it was the girls chasing the boys?
My wife is taciturn, obviously taking after her father-in-law.
She didn't inherit any of her mother-in-law's good qualities.
After thinking for a while, Li Nuo asked a long-standing gossip question: "How did they break up back then?"
Butler Wu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Master, do you really want to ask?"
Li Nuo said: "There's no one else here, so why keep it a secret?"
Butler Wu sighed and said, "Speaking of which, the reason why Lord Song and Madam Song separated was actually because of the young master..."
Li Nuo was stunned: "Me?"
Butler Wu said leisurely, "Back then, the master and Lord Song were close friends. When the two ladies were still pregnant, they arranged for the young master and the young lady to be married. However, after the young master was born..."
He did not say the next words, and turned to say: "Mrs. Song was unwilling to marry her daughter into the Li family, and Lord Song was also very loyal to his promise. The two of them had a fierce quarrel over this. Later, Mrs. Song returned to the sect in anger. Over the years, she has never set foot in Chang'an again..."
He smiled bitterly and said, "If Madam Song knew that the young master had become like this today, I'm afraid she wouldn't object to this marriage..."
“…”
Li Nuo was speechless after hearing this.
It turned out that I was the culprit who caused my wife to lose her mother's love since childhood.
But at that time, he hadn't come yet, so we can't blame it all on him.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Where is the sect of my mother-in-law?"
Steward Wu said, "The sect where Madam Song belongs is called Sanqing Sect. It is thousands of miles away from Chang'an. It is a well-known sect in the martial arts world. The three sect leaders of the three branches have all reached the sixth realm of cultivation. There are more than ten masters in the sect, and countless masters of the realm of controlling objects. In the place where Sanqing Sect is located, even the imperial court has to give them a lot of face..."
Li Nuo fell silent again.
No matter what, she is my wife's mother.
Li Nuo originally wanted to find an opportunity to take his wife to visit her and see if it was possible for the couple to reconcile and reconcile.
After all, this matter was caused by him.
But he didn't expect that his mother-in-law was thousands of miles away and the imperial examination was approaching, so of course he couldn't run that far.
We can only talk about this matter later.
Sanqing Sect.
Li Nuo secretly memorized this name.
The carriage did not go to the Ministry of Justice, but stopped in front of the Dali Temple.
Li Nuo originally came to see Liu Shang. His mistake yesterday was just an unintentional one, so there was no need to make things difficult for him.
After arriving at the Dali Temple, we learned that Liu Shang had gone back in the morning.
Although the person is gone, the money for demolishing the house must be compensated.
The cost of repairing the Dali Temple would cost him at least several months' salary.
But compared with his bright future, this little money is nothing.
He is the first person in the past hundred years to achieve enlightenment through music.
Confucianists must practice to the fifth level before they can master the great sound.
But almost no one can cultivate Confucianism to the fifth level.
Liu Shang abandoned all fancy ways of cultivation and entered the world of music purely. His future achievements will definitely not be low.
A good civil servant turned into a military officer.
This kind of official who is proficient in both civil and military affairs will be promoted very quickly. It is estimated that it won’t be long before he will be recruited by various forces.
There are a lot of fifth-rank officials in the court.
But no one dared to act rashly against an official of the fifth realm.
The Dali Temple did not make things difficult for him, so Li Nuo made the trip in vain.
Originally, he just wanted to deal with his wife.
I didn't expect to have such a big harvest.
It also lets him know that if he wants to gain permanent abilities, he can focus not only on quantity but also quality.
Even if the bonus of ability is removed and only the original skills are retained, it is enough for him.
At least it's enough to pick up girls.
Li Nuo now understood why his wife had such a high talent in martial arts, but she just liked these things.
It turns out that my father-in-law also used these things to charm my mother-in-law.
He ranked third in the imperial examination that year, and must have been proficient in the six arts. Playing the piano and painting were basic skills. My wife's hobbies were in her genes.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye.
Ever since that day when he gave his wife a little test, she hasn't practiced the piano since.
However, Mu'er and Ning'er pestered him every day and asked Li Nuo to teach them.
The two little girls are really talented. In just a few days, they can play a short piece of music relatively fluently.
As for my wife, she is learning flower arrangement from Fenghuang.
Flower arranging does seem to be much easier than playing the piano and painting.
After a few days, although she was far from reaching Phoenix's level, she had gotten started, and the latest flowers she arranged were also quite good.
Li Nuo looked at Fenghuang and said, "Yuyin Pavilion has so many things to do, you don't have to come here every day..."
He knew Phoenix was expressing her apology from before, but she had done enough.
The people in Chang'an who wanted to see her beauty could line up from the South Gate to the North Gate, and each minute they spent hundreds of taels of silver. However, she spent most of the day teaching his wife how to arrange flowers. Li Nuo had already seen her sincerity.
Phoenix smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I won't be here for a few days anyway."
Li Nuo looked at her, not knowing what she meant.
Could it be that she thinks her wife is too untalented and she doesn't want to teach her anymore?
Song Jiaren also looked towards Fenghuang.
Fenghuang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We plan to leave Chang'an in a few days."
Li Nuo was slightly stunned and asked, "Why?"
Fenghuang shook her head slightly and said, "The water in Chang'an is too deep for a weak woman like Fenghuang to wade through. We want to go somewhere else."
Li Nuo frowned and asked, "What happened?"
Phoenix lowered her head and said nothing, but tears fell from her eyes.
In the end, she didn't say why, and left the Song Mansion silently without saying a word.
This time, it wasn't just Li Nuo who was curious.
Even his wife was asked to be questioned clearly.
Li Nuo woke up Song Yu who was sleeping and asked, "What happened in Yuyin Pavilion? Do you know?"
Song Yu, who was originally in a daze, suddenly woke up after hearing this, and stammered without saying a word.
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know something?"
Song Yu said in embarrassment: "Miss Fenghuang didn't let me tell you, brother-in-law, you should go ask Miss Fenghuang..."
Li Nuo looked at Song Yu indifferently.
If you can't get the answer from Fenghuang, then you can ask him?
The person Song Yu feared the most was her brother-in-law. She felt uneasy when he looked at her, so she could only say, "Well, actually, something happened in Yuyin Pavilion these few days. The two most beautiful women selected last time were poached by other music houses at high prices, and Miss Fenghuang was also threatened. Those people asked her to sell Yuyin Pavilion and leave Chang'an as soon as possible, otherwise..."
"Or what?"
"Otherwise, sell them all to brothels..."
Li Nuo asked calmly: "Those people have strong backgrounds?"
If it was an ordinary background, Song Yu could handle it himself.
Song Yu nodded and said, "It's someone from Lelai Tower. Lelai Tower is not just a brothel, there are many dignitaries behind it, and even the shadow of the Prince of Han's Palace, so Miss Fenghuang didn't let me tell you..."
