Madam, protect me!

Yuyin Pavilion.

Second floor room.

Li Nuo looked at his wet shoulder with a helpless look.

Women are really made of water.

He just wanted to try out his new music skills. If he had known that he would make her cry, he would not have played it just now.

Seeing her crying so sadly, those who didn't know the situation would think that it was a second-generation official who ruined a good family.

However, the top scorer in the music department is really amazing.

The same song, played by him, has a completely different effect.

Even if Fenghuang is the arranger, the effect of playing is not as good as him.

Li Nuo pushed Fenghuang who was occupying his shoulder and crying, and said: "Hey, stop crying, you have stained my clothes."

She had makeup on her face, and this was the clothes he just changed today.

Fenghuang grabbed his shoulders tightly, sobbing and saying: "Don't talk, you are so annoying!"

Li Nuo pushed hard, but found that he couldn't push it at all.

This woman is quite strong.

After trying several times, Li Nuo had to give up.

After an unknown amount of time, Fenghuang finally stopped crying and quietly left Li Nuo's shoulder.

Seeing Li Nuo staring at her, she snorted and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Li Nuo said honestly, "Your makeup is ruined by crying, and your face is all red, white and black. Don't you want to wash it?"

Fenghuang covered her face and ran back to the inner room.

The door slammed shut.

After a while, Li Nuo slowly walked out of Yuyin Pavilion.

His shoulder was wet, and there were red and white spots on it, which were the rouge and powder on Fenghuang's face.

Miss Fenghuang looked weak, but she was really strong.

When she lay on Li Nuo's shoulder and cried bitterly, Li Nuo couldn't push her away.

It must be said that her piano skills are really good, but she just happened to meet a more talented peerless master.

The top scholar in the music department who can get the "excellent" evaluation is naturally not an ordinary person. Liu Shang has obviously reached a certain level in the way of music.

He has no cultivation, and can manipulate the listener's emotions with just a simple piano.

This is the result of his neglect of skills.

It is hard to imagine how strong he was at his peak.

After leaving Yuyin Pavilion, Li Nuo went back to Dali Temple.

After learning what happened after he left, he knew why the Code was lit up.

Liu Shang felt that his self-esteem was hurt, and practiced the piano madly in the cell.

What is outrageous is that in just a short time, he was really recognized by the Code.

Li Nuo once thought that the Code obtained the ability of the prisoner at the moment of imprisonment.

Now it seems that it is not.

The Code did not like Liu Shang just now.

But when he played it several times, found the feeling, and improved his skills, he was immediately recognized by the Code.

I just don't know whether this dynamic ability capture only counts the time he spent in prison, or is deeply bound to him and changes with the changes in his abilities.

If it is the latter, wouldn't he have to keep urging the other party?

Otherwise, if the other party's ability suddenly fell below the recognition line of the code during the imperial examination, he could only wait to be embarrassed.

Li Nuo thought about it and it should not be the latter case.

Otherwise, the prisoners who were captured before died, and their abilities should disappear.

Leaving the Dali Temple for the second time, Li Nuo breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

In any case, he didn't have to worry about the imperial examination.

Even if he didn't have Liu Shang's peak strength and couldn't win the top prize in this subject, his ranking would not be too far behind.

Fenghuang's tears are the best proof.

While the carriage drove towards the Song Mansion.

Yuyin Pavilion.

Fenghuang sat in front of the mirror to put on makeup.

When she changed her clothes just now, she also touched up her makeup specially, wanting to show her most beautiful side in front of that person.

It's not that women dress up to please themselves, but she wants to prove herself.

As a result, not only did she not show her most beautiful side, but she exposed her most embarrassing side.

She really couldn't figure it out.

Did he come to Yuyin Pavilion just to mock her piano skills and then show off how good his own piano skills are?

But it must be said that he is really good.

He can play the original song exactly after listening to it once.

He can also hear the story behind the music through the appearance of the rhythm.

She felt that Li Nuo understood this song better than she, the composer.

How could he know nothing about music?

He must be a master of music who has reached the pinnacle of skills.

Fenghuang has seen such masters of music before.

But those few masters, without exception, have passed the age of sixty and have been immersed in music for a lifetime.

But even they can't play at the level he just played.

Music is not getting better with age.

Even though their understanding and perception of music have reached the pinnacle, their aging bodies can't support their perfect performance like when they were young.

Without more than ten years of hard practice, no matter how talented they are, they can't reach this level.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but get angry.

The intelligence agencies of Daxia are all a bunch of incompetents!

They investigated such a young master of music for 18 years, and the result they got was just a fool...

Whoever believes it is a fool!

Song Mansion.

After a long time in Dali Temple and Yuyin Pavilion, when Li Nuo returned to Song Mansion, it was almost time for dinner.

After dinner, he and his wife went back to their room together.

Recently, both of them read a book before going to bed.

The couple sat opposite each other at the desk. Song Jiaren glanced at Li Nuo's shoulder and said, "Your clothes are dirty. Take them off and put them aside. I'll ask them to wash them tomorrow morning."

This dress was actually what Li Nuo had just changed in the morning.

But Fenghuang had just held her shoulders and cried bitterly. The rouge and powder on her face were smeared on Li Nuo's clothes, causing his shoulders to be dirty.

Li Nuo had just changed his clothes. When he turned around, he saw his wife holding the dirty clothes he had just changed and smelled them.

Li Nuo suddenly realized something.

Fenghuang had just cried on his shoulder for so long. She had a strong fragrance on her body. His clothes were likely to be stained with her smell.

County Magistrate Pei once mentioned to him that when he went to the brothel, he would prepare a set of identical clothes, take a bath outside, change clothes and go back.

Li Nuo did not go out to fool around with other women without telling his wife, so he naturally could not think of these details.

He took the initiative to explain: "I just came back from the Dali Temple and passed by the Yuyin Pavilion. I heard a musician playing a good song, so I went in to listen for a while. It happened that Miss Fenghuang asked me to teach her piano skills. I played a sad song, and she was moved to tears. She insisted on lying on my shoulder and crying. I couldn't push her away - that's how my clothes got dirty."

That's what happened. Li Nuo didn't tell a single lie.

Song Jiaren put down her clothes and didn't say much.

Li Nuo felt that she didn't believe it.

He looked at her and asked, "Don't you believe it?"

Song Jiaren said lightly, "No."

She still remembered the lesson from last time.

Mu'er was right.

Husbands and wives should trust each other.

Even if she didn't believe it, she wouldn't say it.

She had never heard him play the piano, and she didn't even know he could play the piano. Last time, he said he knew nothing about music.

But since he said so, she had to reluctantly believe it, otherwise what could she do?

Li Nuo saw that she didn't believe it.

In order to prove his innocence, he borrowed a zither from Song Yu.

Tomorrow, this ability will disappear. Unless he kills himself, he can't clear himself even if he jumps into the Yellow River.

I saw a zither when I drank in Song Yu's room a few times before.

This thing is required for the imperial examination. Even if you are tone-deaf, you must have an instrument.

Song Yu's zither has a layer of dust on it, and the pitch is not accurate.

Li Nuo wiped the whole zither and tuned it.

Song Jiaren looked at him as if he was serious, and her heart moved slightly. Could he really play the zither?

In her somewhat surprised eyes, Li Nuo's fingers slowly placed on the strings.

After a soothing prelude, gradually enter the story.

Music is the language of the soul.

Even without words, people can feel the emotions that the player wants to convey.

A good musician can control people's joys, sorrows, anger and happiness through music.

Fenghuang is actually a little bit capable. Her zither skills are so-so, but the arrangement is really good.

Song Jiaren didn't understand music, nor did she know the story behind this song, but she just felt an inexplicable sadness.

This kind of sadness is hard to control.

As the music became more and more sad, her beautiful eyes were first covered with a layer of mist, and then tears fell one by one, and she couldn't stop it...

After playing the last note, Li Nuo looked at Song Jiaren who was wiping her tears with her sleeves and asked, "You should believe it now, right?"

He had already tested it on Fenghuang just now, and Li Nuo was very confident in his ability.

Unless she is heartless, she will definitely cry.

Obviously she is not.

Song Jiaren wiped her tears, turned her head, and asked, "Didn't you say last time... that you know nothing about music?"

Li Nuo smiled and said, "That's just a humble statement. In fact, I know a little bit about music."

Seeing his wife crying, he actually felt quite accomplished.

If she can't make her cry by beating, will she make her cry by playing?

At this time, Song Muer ran in from outside, seeing the tears on Song Jiaren's face, looked at Li Nuo, and said in shock: "Brother Li Nuo, you made Sister Jiaren cry!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Sister Jiaren was just moved by the music."

Li Nuo patiently explained to her, but Song Muer didn't believe it at all, frowned and said: "How can you make Sister Jiaren cry? The book says that men can't let their women cry..."

I don't know which book she is reading.

Is this a book for a six-year-old girl?

But since she doesn't believe it, Li Nuo can only prove it for himself.

After a while.

Li Nuo's hand left the strings, and two beauties, one big and one small, sat side by side, one was about to cry, and the other was in tears.

Even when she listened to it for the second time, Song Jiaren still couldn't control her emotions.

Muer couldn't control it even more when she listened to it for the first time.

She didn't know why she wanted to cry after listening to the music played by Brother Li Nuo, and her tears couldn't stop.

Another little girl stood at the door, watching the scene in shock.

Song Ning'er looked at Li Nuo blankly and asked, "Why are they crying?"

...

When Li Nuo woke up, there was no one around him.

His wife didn't sleep with him last night, but went to Mu'er's place to keep warm.

Yesterday, Li Nuo played a song three times, earning the tears of the three young ladies of the Song family. Although he drove his wife away, it also meant that he didn't have to worry too much about music.

At this level, it would be easy to win the top prize in Leke.

Today is the first day of September in the thirty-third year of the Holy Holy year.

Prince Gong succeeded his brother Prince Chun and served as a one-month supervisory authority.

At this time, there are still five full months before the spring exam.

It's exactly half a year before the imperial examination.

Now that Leke has been taken care of, there are still three subjects left: etiquette, imperialism, and archery.

Etiquette is a liberal arts subject, so just study hard. If not, your second uncle will take care of it.

Yuke Zhouyu is working hard for him every day, so there is no need to worry for the time being.

As for the shooting department, Li Nuo still has to find a candidate.

My wife's archery skills seem to be good.

Li Nuo looked at the lady who was teaching Mu'er swordsmanship in the yard. An idea just appeared in his mind, but he suppressed it the next moment.

The lady's mind is as small as her breasts.

Playing the piano yesterday made her cry, so she ran to sleep with Mu'er.

If she was caught in jail, he would have to stay alone in an empty bed for at least a month.

There is nothing wrong with it.

Phoenix seemed to have said yesterday that there is a girl named Nightingale in Yuyin Pavilion who seems to be good at archery, but just listen to her words.

No one knows packaging better than them. She also said that she is good at music, but that’s it.

Apart from being beautiful, having a good figure, and being able to arrange flowers, what else does she have left?

While Li Nuo was thinking about these things, Mu'er, who had finished practicing, ran over quickly holding the hem of her skirt and said, "Brother Li Nuo, I want to hear you play the piano for me, but you can't play like you did last night..."

Li Nuo certainly did not refuse Mu'er's request.

He could only meet her request for half a day. After today, he would have to wait until the spring exam or the imperial examination to have a small luxury.

He moved Song Yu's piano outside and started playing it freely. A soothing tune began to flow on his fingertips.

After the song ended, Song Muer held her chin with both hands, with an expression of enjoyment on her little face, and murmured: "Brother Li Nuo plays so beautifully, much better than brother Bi Yu. Why haven't I seen you play the piano before?" "

Li Nuo said: "I don't like playing the piano very much. My hands hurt after playing for a long time."

Song Muer said obediently: "Then we'll stop playing after a while."

Li Nuo touched her head and said, "I want you to hear enough for today, and you won't play anymore."

Song Jiaren held her sword and leaned against the pillar at the door.

Melodious music floated not far away, and she closed her eyes, feeling extremely peaceful inside.

At this moment, she finally understood why Song Yu and the others liked to listen to music outside so much.

Because it sounds really good.

The sound of music can make people feel extremely peaceful and relaxed.

Arithmetic, writing poetry, painting, music... there seems to be nothing he doesn't know how to do.

And these...

None of her could.

When I was a child, I secretly skipped classes to listen to books. In the stories, among the knight-errant couples traveling around the world, one person always danced the sword and the other played the piano.

At that time, she didn't understand why someone had to play the piano next to her during the sword dance. Until now, when she heard the sweet piano music and held the Qingshuang in her hand, the urge to dance the sword arose in her heart...

After a while.

Li Anning and Li Yun stood at the door of the small courtyard.

Li Anning looked at Li Nuo playing the piano and said in surprise: "He can actually play the piano, and he plays it so well?"

She felt that even the piano players in the palace could not play as well as him.

Li Yun looked at Song Jiaren who was dancing the sword and said with envy: "When will the mechanism dancer I made be able to make such flexible movements..."

Although their perceptions at this moment are not the same, there is one thing that they understand the same.

These two are truly a match made in heaven.

One in literature and one in martial arts, one in piano and one in sword, they all work together in such a tacit understanding. Watching them play the piano and dance with the sword is really a visual enjoyment.

After Li Nuo finished his song, Song Jiaren put away her sword and stood silently beside Li Nuo.

Li Anning and Li Yun came over.

Before Li Nuo could say anything, Li Yun gave him a big bear hug and said with a joyful face: "Brother Shi, thank you so much!"

Li Nuo looked confused. What did he do?

Li Yun smiled and said, "Thanks to your guidance, I was able to break through so quickly."

Li Nuo was still confused.

He couldn't remember what he had told Li Yun before. He was from the Mo Xiu family and he was from the Fa Xiu family. No matter what, they couldn't get along with each other.

Until after listening to Li Yun's explanation, Li Nuo was still a little unbelievable.

No, he just told him that the mutual prime principle of the meshing of two gears allowed him to break through from the third realm of the Mohist family to the fourth realm?

Is it so easy for the Mo family to break through?

Li Yun smiled and said, "Shidi doesn't know something..."

Li Nuo learned from Li Yun that it was not easy for the Mohist family to break the situation. Although it was not like Confucianism, which required great political achievements, and it was not like Legalism, which required killing several dignitaries and sacrificing flags, it still needed to defeat the Mohist family. contribute to development.

In the past, some mechanism families relied on their ancestral experience to design stronger mechanisms that would last longer.

These experiences are kept secret.

It is precisely because of this that the mechanisms designed by these mechanism families can often be sold at higher prices.

Li Nuo's reminder made Li Yun suddenly realize.

He has been conducting experiments these days.

Experiments have proven that mechanisms designed according to that method can indeed run longer.

From now on, this is no longer a secret experience of those aristocratic families, but common sense that all Mohist machine masters know.

Not only that, he also put the empirical things on paper and turned them into precise numbers.

Although this is not a groundbreaking achievement, it can be regarded as a small step forward in the development of mechanical arts.

And this small step is enough for him to advance from the third realm to the fourth realm.

If he had known that there would be such a thing in the future, Li Nuo should have studied mechanics instead of law. If he had practiced Mohism, it would not be so difficult to break through the realm.

He looked at his wife, Li Anning, and Li Yun...

The three schools of martial arts, legalism, and Mohism joined forces. Even if they faced a master, they would probably have the strength to fight.

The four of them are really amazing.

Li Yun did not come empty-handed, he also brought many gifts.

Li Anning was not with him either. The two met at the gate of Song Mansion.

Li Yun stood with this young girl who was younger than him, feeling uncomfortable all over. After giving the gift, he left in a hurry.

After Li Yun left, Li Anning looked at Li Nuo and said, "Come with me to the Ministry of Justice. There are two murder case files. The Ministry of Justice can't make up its mind. You can help take a look."

Originally, the Ministry of Justice would directly submit the files without obvious flaws to the Dali Temple.

But since the last incident, they felt that there was something wrong with any file.

It is a taboo for the Legalists to take human life lightly.

Once there is a mistake, it will not only ruin other people's lives, but also affect one's own cultivation.

So she had to come to the Song family to ask Li Nuo.

After all, his intuition is surprisingly accurate.

If he says there is no problem, they can submit it with confidence.

After a while, when Li Nuo walked out of the Ministry of Justice, his life span was increased by two days.

He has decided that after the imperial examination, he must apply to the Ministry of Justice.

This is simply his dream court.

In the whole of Daxia, all the files of imprisonment, exile and death penalty must pass through the Ministry of Justice. The number of cases gathered here is more than that of the Dali Temple.

At that time, he can try the case openly.

When he left the Ministry of Justice and was about to go home, he saw the fortune-telling stall opposite the Ministry of Justice.

I don’t know what the fortune-telling old man was thinking, why would he set up the fortune-telling stall here.

This is not the main street. Are they expecting to make money from the officials of the Ministry of Justice, or from the prisoners?

This time, Butler Wu sat in the car honestly and did not chat with the fortune-telling old man. Li Nuo was a little interested and walked over and said, "Old man, fortune-telling."

He wanted to see if he could calculate his own destiny.

The old man looked up at Li Nuo and shook his head, saying, "It doesn't count."

Li Nuo was slightly stunned, then said, "You can tell me how much silver you want."

The old man looked firm and continued to shake his head, "The stall has been closed today, no matter how much silver you ask, it doesn't count."

Li Nuo said, "I can add money."

The old man pulled the corner of his mouth, "When I tell fortunes, I don't look at silver, I only look at fate. You and I are not destined to be together, so you should leave."

Since everyone else said so, Li Nuo could only shake his head helplessly and leave.

These charlatans like to make these things vague and mysterious, making them seem unfathomable.

Li Nuo got on the carriage, and the old man snorted and said, "You can't ruin my Taoism!"

The little girl beside him asked in confusion, "Grandpa, why don't you tell him?"

The old man looked at the carriage that was gradually going away, and then looked up at the sky above his head. His eyes gradually became deep, and he murmured, "This person is a person outside of fate, and the nemesis of our Yin-Yang family. If you meet such a person in the future, stay as far away as possible..."
