Chapter 194 Birthday Gift
Song Mansion.
The lady and Mu'er went out, and Li Nuo sat alone in the yard. At one point, he said to the air, "Yiren, come here."
A figure flew over the courtyard wall and fell from the sky.
Song Yiren glanced at him and asked, "What?"
Li Nuo thought for a moment and asked, "What kind of person is your mother?"
Although he had never met his mother-in-law, she had a profound influence on Li Nuo's life even though she was far away in Sanqing Mountain.
If she hadn't taken her away and taught her the Jade Purity Heart Technique, the relationship between the three of them wouldn't have become what it is now.
When Song Yiren heard Li Nuo talking about his mother, her expression changed slightly and she whispered, "Why are you asking about my mother?"
Li Nuo said: "Nothing, just curious, just asking."
Certain memories emerged in her mind, and Song Yiren's face turned slightly pale.
She didn't know how to answer this question.
Ever since she could remember, her mother had been extremely strict with her.
Every day she had to get up before dawn, read, and practice martial arts until dark.
My mother has strict rules for when to get up, when to eat, and when to go to bed.
If you miss lunch, you can only wait for dinner. If you miss dinner, you will have to go to bed on an empty stomach.
So, she developed the habit of hiding steamed buns since she was a child.
Everything she did had to get her mother's approval.
Any disobedience will be severely punished.
So, she envied everything Song Jiaren had.
They are sisters who are the same in every way, so why does she have the love of her family and such a good husband, while she has to suffer that kind of torture alone in the bitter cold of the far north?
Li Nuo finally understood why her father-in-law wanted to separate from her.
There's nothing wrong with being a strong woman.
But I'm afraid few people can stand such a strong desire for control.
Li Nuo couldn't imagine what it would feel like to stay with her for eighteen years.
Putting himself in Yiren's shoes, Li Nuo seemed to understand everything she did.
He walked into the room, came out holding the piano, and said, "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to hear me play the piano? Now I have nothing to do, so I'll play a few songs for you..."
After a moment.
Song Yiren sat on the swing in the yard, swinging slowly and listening to the pleasant piano music. Her originally sad mood was gradually soothed by the soothing and melodious music.
Seeing the smile on her face again, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief.
Comforting people invisibly is one of the great conveniences of the Tao.
My wife and my beloved’s birthday is March 29th.
According to Daxia customs, one can only hold a grand birthday banquet after turning sixty years old. Before the age of sixty, it can only be called a "birthday celebration".
Young people’s birthdays are even more casual.
In addition to some important moments, such as the coming of age of a girl or the coming of age of a man, there will be some additional small ceremonies, usually eating a bowl of longevity noodles, and the birthday is considered to have been celebrated.
The weather is nice today, it's early spring, neither too cold nor too hot, so Li Nuo takes them out to visit the park.
Qujiang Garden is also a very famous royal garden in Chang'an.
However, unlike Furong Garden, Qujiang Garden is not open to the public and is only for royal family visits.
Li Nuo is now considered half a royal family member, and with the addition of Li Anning, it is easy to bring people into Qujiang Garden.
In Qujiang Garden, Li Nuo was sitting on the grass, Mu'er and Ning'er were competing to fly a kite, Fenghuang and Niangzi were sketching in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and Li Anning came over, sat next to Li Nuo, peeled a grape and fed it into his mouth.
Song Yiren saw it, walked over from a distance and sat on the other side of Li Nuo. Li Anning felt embarrassed to lean on Li Nuo anymore.
Li Nuo glanced towards the center of the lake and felt that it was about time.
He picked up a willow leaf, put it to his mouth and started to play it.
Seeing that Li Nuo could make such beautiful music by blowing leaves, Song Yiren also picked a leaf and imitated him, but the sound she made was unbearable and extremely unpleasant.
She threw the leaves aside angrily and listened quietly to Li Nuo's playing.
In the pavilion in the center of the lake, Fenghuang heard the music and said to Song Jiaren, "We have been painting for a long time. Let's go for a walk by the lake."
Song Jiaren nodded, and the two of them walked along the corridor on the lake to the lakeside. They heard Li Nuo playing music, so they walked over slowly, stood on the grass, and listened quietly.
Song Jiaren was listening intently and didn't notice that Fenghuang had quietly retreated.
At a certain moment, the music that Li Nuo played with the willow leaves suddenly had some strange power.
A field of colorful flowers suddenly grew on the grass under Song Jiaren's feet.
The flowers surrounded her, emitting a refreshing fragrance.
Phoenix turned and looked towards a tall building in the distance and waved gently.
The nightingale drew her bow and shot an arrow, which hit a mechanism on the top of the willow tree. Petals fell from the sky and Song Jiaren was enveloped in a rain of flowers.
Li Anning and Fenghuang, who already knew the plan, just looked at the scene with envy.
Song Yiren looked confused.
It's blowing nicely, what is this for?
At this time, Mu'er ran over and handed an exquisitely carved wooden box to Li Nuo.
Li Nuo held the wooden box and walked to Song Jiaren. Nightingale shot an arrow from a distance, and another rain of petals fell. Li Nuo looked at her and said with a smile: "Happy birthday, my lady."
He opened the wooden box.
This wooden box is hollow, with many exquisite patterns carved on the outside, and there is another world inside the box.
After opening it, a clear sound of music came out from the box. It was the music that Li Nuo had just played.
In the small wooden box, the courtyard where they lived was reproduced, with a garden, a stone table, a pavilion, and a woman sitting on a swing in the courtyard, swaying slowly to the music.
The woman on the swing is only two inches tall, but she moves freely like a real person. If you look closely, you will find that her face is exactly the same as Song Jiaren, as if she is a smaller version of her.
Li Nuo handed her the music box and said, "This is a birthday gift for my wife."
Song Yiren looked at the magical box that could play by itself, then looked at Li Nuo and Song Jiaren with a dazed look on her face.
Aren’t we here to visit the garden today?
Sprinkling flowers and giving gifts...
What is this for?
Why didn't anyone tell her that this happened?
Song Jiaren took the music box, a smile appeared on her face, and said, "Thank you, husband."
Li Nuo made a lot of preparations for this moment.
Li Yun was asked to work overnight, Phoenix and Nightingale were asked for help, and Li Anning was asked to make an appointment to visit the garden, bury flower seeds here in advance, and set up the mechanism for petals to fall from the sky.
Faced with such a romantic scene, if it were a normal woman, she would have had some other reaction, if not be moved to tears.
But the lady only smiled and said thank you.
Although Li Nuo felt a little disappointed, he also knew that it was not his wife's fault.
Damn Yuqing Heart Technique, he must solve the problem of his wife's cultivation method and make her become like Yiren...
Yiren just let it go.
It would be great if my wife could become like Li Anning or Fenghuang...
Although the music box does not have much complex technology, it is undoubtedly a very advanced thing in this era.
Mu'er and Ning'er surrounded their lady, looking at the box that could play music by itself when opened, their faces full of surprise.
Li Anning quietly tugged at Li Nuo's sleeve and said, "I want one too..."
Li Nuo promised Li An Ning that he would make one for her in a couple of days. This time it was his wife's birthday, and she was sensible enough not to be jealous.
Afterwards, several people had a birthday party together in Qujiang Garden.
The cooks were brought from the Song family by Li Nuo. Phoenix and Nightingale both praised their cooking skills. Song Yiren, the most greedy person, did not say a word during the meal and did not even take a few bites of the food.
After returning to the Song Mansion, she returned to her room alone in a depressed mood.
She sat in a chair with tears in her eyes.
Everyone is celebrating Song Jiaren's birthday.
But today is also her birthday...
No one ever celebrated her birthday.
At this time, there was a knock on the door.
Song Yiren opened the door, glanced at Li Nuo, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Nuo handed her an identical box and said, "Happy birthday."
He had accumulated enough experience in getting along with twins from Mu'er and Ning'er.
He asked Li Yun to stay up late to make another music box of the same kind.
Yiren and my wife have the same birthday. If I only focus on my wife, she will definitely feel disappointed.
Although she did not have the flower petal rain of her wife, nor the flowers blooming in the grass, and lacked many romantic ceremonies, the gifts were exactly the same.
Song Yiren took the music box blankly, opened it, and soon heard familiar music.
Inside the wooden box, there is also a small courtyard and a woman swinging on a swing.
This magical box is exactly the same as the one given to Song Jiaren.
Her nose felt sore and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Li Nuo was stunned and asked, "What's wrong? Don't you like it?"
Song Yiren hugged the music box and threw herself into Li Nuo's arms, saying with emotion: "Wow, this is the first time I have received a birthday present, thank you..."
