Chapter 295 Yiren's Marriage
Ever since Jiaren and An Ning became pregnant, they moved into Ningxin Garden together.
The garden given to them by Prince Chun had a quiet environment and pleasant scenery, making it a perfect place to rest and nurture the baby.
Of course Li Nuo moved with them.
After Prince Chun learned the news, he specially invited two female doctors from the palace and several palace maids who were specifically responsible for serving the concubines to take care of their daily lives.
The two female doctors had extremely rich experience in caring for pregnant women.
After she became pregnant, Jia Ren was completely forbidden to practice cultivation, and An Ning was not allowed to go to the Ministry of Justice to investigate the case.
There are strict regulations on when they rest and eat every day, and what kind of food they eat. These rules were originally set for pregnant concubines in the palace.
Li Nuo looked at the diet plans prepared by the two female doctors for them, and found that they were indeed very reasonable. The doctors' professionalism in this area was beyond doubt.
The female doctor would use the medical qi to regulate their bodies every day. Li Nuo was also forbidden to sleep with the beautiful lady An Ning at night and could only sleep alone in the study.
In the days since he learned that they were pregnant, Li Nuo's mentality has undergone some wonderful changes.
He has always been under the protection of others.
In life, his wife and peace can protect his safety.
In the court, with his father and Prince Chun around, he doesn't have to think too much no matter what happens. Even if the sky falls, there are people to support him. He can do what he wants without any worries.
But when he thought that he would have his own children soon, his mentality changed subtly.
The life span of the code seems long, but it is only fifteen years.
The cultivation level of the fourth realm is far from enough.
He wants to live a very long time, grow up with his children, grow old with his wives, make sure no one can threaten them, and be their strongest support.
In Ningxin Garden.
Yiren was practicing swordplay by the lake, while Fenghuang was accompanying Jiaren and Anning on a boat trip on the lake.
Li Nuo watched from a distance for a while, then left silently.
Butler Wu was squatting in the gatehouse. When he saw Li Nuo leaving, he asked, "Master, where are you going? Do you want me to take you there?"
Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "No need, just do your thing."
Butler Wu did not insist.
Now he is no match for the young master, and being by his side will do him no good.
He wanted to sigh that time flies so fast, and the young master has grown to the point where he is no match for him. Thinking back to when he was chased by a powerless little girl, it seemed like it was just last year...
Then he realized, that was last year.
During this year, the young master won the top spot in the imperial examination, married the princess, was promoted to the fifth rank, and his cultivation level was raised to the fourth level.
After Li Nuo left, he continued the previous topic and said to Old Huang: "You don't know how accurate the fortune teller's predictions are. At that time, the young master and the young mistress had never even held hands, but he predicted that the young mistress would be pregnant with twins. This guy must be a master of the Yin-Yang School!"
Then, he patted his thigh again and said with a look of annoyance: "He only charged ten taels of silver for each calculation. If I had known, I would have asked him more than two questions. I have searched Chang'an for the past few days but couldn't find him..."
Old Huang asked curiously, "What other questions did you ask him?"
Butler Wu said, "I asked him about the young master's marriage, and he said that the young master still had several destined marriages. I didn't believe it at first, until the princess married him..."
Old Huang stroked his beard and said, "It seems that there are at least two ladies who have not entered the house yet."
Butler Wu asked in confusion: "Why two?"
Old Huang analyzed, "He said 'several' marriages. The princess counts as one at most. If the young master had two marriages besides the young mistress, he would have just said two. But he said several, which means the remaining number of marriages is at least three. The princess has already married, so doesn't that mean there are at least two more?"
Butler Wu suddenly realized something and said, "That makes sense. If there are two more of us, wouldn't that be perfect..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly turned his head.
Song Yiren stood at the door, listening with great interest.
Seeing that she was discovered, she pretended to pass by and walked out the door.
At least two...
Doesn’t that mean that even if one is yourself, there is still another one.
Could it be Sister Phoenix?
Thinking of this, she was not angry, but relieved instead.
If it were just her, she wouldn't know how to get along with Song Jiaren and Li Anning.
It would be nice if it was really Sister Phoenix...
She was walking aimlessly on the street when she suddenly heard shouting coming from the corner ahead.
"Calculate marriage and fortune!"
"Two cents a time, no refund!"
"Take a look!"
Song Yiren paused slightly. She used to be dismissive of these street fortune tellers and didn't believe in them, but Butler Wu's words made her change her mind.
She walked to the fortune-telling stall. When a grandfather and his grandson saw that a customer had come, the young man, who had been a little depressed because of the lack of business, immediately sat up straight and asked, "Girl, do you want a fortune-telling?"
Song Yiren didn't have two cents, so she took a piece of silver and put it on the table, saying, "Help me calculate it."
An old man sitting behind the table saw the piece of silver. His eyes lit up. He restrained himself from looking at the piece of silver. He stroked his beard and asked, "Miss, you want to calculate your marriage, right?"
Song Yiren was slightly stunned and asked, "How do you know?"
The old man stroked his beard again, without explaining, revealing an unfathomable expression. He quickly pinched with his right hand, and then said: "Girl, don't worry, your marriage is here. When facing the person you love, you should take the initiative to seize the good fate. Otherwise, you may miss it and regret it for the rest of your life..."
Song Yiren pondered his words, left a silver ingot, and left thoughtfully.
After she had gone far away, the young man asked in surprise, "Master, how did you know that girl was a matchmaker?"
The old man put the ingot of silver into his arms and said, "Eight out of ten young girls like this are destined for marriage."
The boy asked again: "What if it's not?"
The old man said, "We just have to wait for the next one. We will eventually get one who is really predicting our fate. If we meet a rich man like this and make a deal, it will be enough for us to work for several months!"
The young man was stunned and asked, "So when you said that her marriage destiny had arrived, were you lying to her?"
The old man stroked his beard and said, "That's not true. Haven't you heard that if a man pursues a woman, it's easy to get her, but if a woman pursues a man, it's easy to get her. If a girl as beautiful as her takes the initiative to pursue her, which man would refuse..."
After saying that, he glanced at the young man and said, "Learn something, little guy. If you can learn even 30% of my skills, you won't become rich, but at least you will have enough food and clothing..."
…
After leaving home, Li Nuo did not go to the Honglu Temple, but came to the Zhongshu Province.
The transfer letters from the three ministries have not come down yet, so he plans to come to the Secretariat to inquire about the situation.
Before, Li Nuo didn’t mind spending a little longer in the Ministry of Rites or the Honglu Temple, but now the situation has changed and he doesn’t want to waste time with them anymore.
The sooner you enter the Ministry of Justice, the sooner your practice can get on the right track.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Secretariat was extremely tense.
A fierce quarrel was heard coming from a government office of the Secretariat.
"In short, I absolutely do not agree to transfer him to the Ministry of Justice!"
"I have already promised him."
"He is an official of Daxia. It is his duty to share the country's worries. He actually used this to threaten the court. Not punishing him is already a leniency. Letting him choose his official position. What does he think the court is? A vegetable market?"
"He is a law-reformer and is extremely good at solving cases. The Ministry of Justice is the most suitable position for him."
"Li Xuanjing has already made the final decision in the Dali Temple. If his son goes to the Ministry of Justice, the criminal law of Daxia will be unified. Is this what you want to see? Have you forgotten the incident at the Zongzheng Temple last time?"
"The case has been solved."
"The important thing is not the case itself. If something like this happens once, it will happen a second time and a third time!"
"Then let's wait until it happens."
…
Listening to the quarrel between the Left Prime Minister and the Right Prime Minister, the officials of the Secretariat all sat obediently in their seats. Even if they had no official business, they pretended to be busy.
Even several secretaries of the Secretariat did not dare to approach the office of the Left Prime Minister.
The two Zhongshu Shilang stood in the yamen with their heads held high, not daring to say a word.
Several envoys from the State of Zhao had originally come to the Secretariat to sign several treaties related to Daxia, but now they could only stand in the yard and wait.
Inside the yamen, two old men were arguing endlessly.
Just as they were arguing, there was a knock on the door of the yamen.
Li Nuo knocked on the door politely, then walked in, bowed to the Left Prime Minister, and said, "Hello, Left Prime Minister. I came here to ask when my transfer letter will arrive?"
The two Zhongshu Shilang held their breath and couldn't help but admire his courage.
Didn't he see that the two prime ministers were arguing so much? He actually dared to add fuel to the fire. I really don't know if this is a son taking after his father, or if all the top scholars in the six subjects are like this...
The right prime minister looked at Li Nuo.
An invisible force came towards me.
Li Nuo felt a little pressure.
But only a little.
Below the sixth level of Confucianism, he is better at defense than attack, and his righteous spirit makes him immune to the methods of various schools. Li Nuo can't do anything to him, but it is impossible for him to crush him with momentum alone.
Li Nuo looked into his eyes without any fear.
The Right Prime Minister looked at the familiar face.
More than ten years later, just like more than ten years ago.
More than ten years ago, it was Li Xuanjing, and more than ten years later, it was his son's turn.
The last time I saw him in the Secretariat, he looked a little immature.
I don’t know what happened in this short period of time, but he actually showed the same sharpness as Li Xuanjing in the past.
He retracted the aura, looked at the left prime minister, and said: "When the second Li Xuanjing appears in the court, I hope you won't regret it..."
