Madam, protect me!

within the room.

Li Nuo rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the two sisters, and asked: "Madam, Yiren, what are you talking about?"

Song Yiren looked at him and said in surprise: "You're fine!"

Li Nuo said: "I was just a little dizzy just now, but now I'm much better."

Song Yiren turned to look at Song Jiaren and asked, "Does what you just said count?"

Song Jiaren said calmly: "What did I say?"

"How can you break your promise!"

"I promised you nothing."

…

He could no longer stay at home for the time being, so Li Nuo ignored Butler Wu's advice and still insisted on going out.

When passing by Yuyin Pavilion, he stopped by Fenghuang's place, took off the gauze on his head, and washed off the paint on his forehead.

Phoenix looked at him curiously and asked, "How's it going?"

Li Nuo sighed and said, "Don't mention it."

I originally wanted to educate Yi Ren, but I didn’t expect that I would be the one being educated.

Basically, he and Fenghuang used the hearts of villains to save the hearts of gentlemen.

After hearing this, Fenghuang felt a little emotional and said, "I didn't expect that the two sisters, Miss Song, are so affectionate and righteous. In this case, why can't we give them happiness at the same time?"

"ah?"

"Isn't it normal for a man to have multiple concubines, especially for a man as rare as the Young Master? Why not just imitate Emperor Shun and Emperor E and marry all their sisters, so that no one will be let down, and they can still It has become a beautiful story passed down from generation to generation..."

I have to say that Phoenix really knows how to come up with ideas.

My mother-in-law doesn't want to marry any of her daughters. If she marries both of her daughters, will she not be allowed to return to Chang'an from Sanqing Mountain?

I don’t know if Old Wu can stop the Grandmaster of the fifth level.

Moreover, even if the beautiful woman agrees, the beautiful woman will definitely not agree.

Li Nuo is certain of this.

If it weren't for Jade Qing Xinjue practiced by Jia Ren, her character might not be much different from Yi Ren.

Even though Mu'er was very well-behaved in other matters, she never gave in when arguing with Ning'er.

Fenghuang thought for a while and then asked: "By the way, how is the princess's affairs? The imperial examination is over. It's time for them to choose a consort for Princess An Ning."

She really doesn't care about anything. Li Nuo just drove away the doctor from the Ministry of Etiquette yesterday.

Reconciliation is impossible.

It was impossible for him to make his wife his concubine.

As for how the court solves the problem, that is their business.

Let’s take one step at a time.

There was a strange noise in his stomach, and Li Nuo said to Fenghuang: "I haven't eaten anything today, please help me make a bowl of noodles..."

A bowl of clear soup, a few chopped green onions, a few green vegetables, and a poached egg.

After eating too much delicacies from the mountains and seas, I sometimes miss this simple bowl of clear soup noodles.

The house was a mess.

The Department of Punishment is no longer the former Department of Punishment.

Yuyin Pavilion, which he didn't come to often before, has become his safe haven.

Phoenix people are gentle, have a nice voice, and are good at cooking delicious noodles. Although they always like to come up with random ideas, it is better than having no ideas. At least there is someone to talk to.

After Li Nuo had eaten, Fenghuang sat by the piano and said, "I just composed a new piece of music. Master, please listen to it for me. If there is anything that needs to be changed..."

Phoenix's piano skills have improved compared to when Li Nuo first listened to it.

But now, he no longer needs Le Dao.

He had a soft mouth and ate her a bowl of noodles. Li Nuo was too embarrassed to refuse, not to mention he had nothing to do, so he helped her improve the music score and played it for her several times himself.

Phoenix looked at the figure playing the piano seriously, and a confused look appeared in his beautiful eyes.

Listening to him play is really like listening to fairy music.

She was already good at music, so she could naturally tell that this performance was impeccable, a level that she would never be able to achieve in her life.

No wonder Li Anning and Song Yiren were fighting for such a person. At this moment, even she had the idea of ​​taking him as her own...

After Li Nuo finished playing the song, when he looked at Fenghuang, he found that she was looking at him with a strange look.

He had also seen this kind of look on Song Yiren.

But the next moment, that look became as gentle as water, full of admiration and adoration, which made Li Nuo suspect that he had just hallucinated.

After leaving Yuyin Pavilion and returning to Song Mansion, Li Nuo saw another familiar figure.

Lu Sheng, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, was standing there. When he saw Li Nuo frowning, he immediately stepped forward and said, "No. 1 Scholar, don't be angry yet. I am really here for serious business this time!"

After a while, Li Nuo brought Lu Sheng into the Song Mansion again.

However, there was no tea this time and he was not allowed into the room.

Li Nuo sat on the stone bench in the courtyard and said, "What did Mr. Lu do this time?"

Lu Sheng didn't sit down either, and said straight to the point: "In two days, all the new scholars will enter the palace to meet the emperor, thank the emperor for his kindness, then go out for a procession, and finally enjoy the Qionglin Banquet in Furong Garden. I am here this time. , is to confirm the process of the day with Zhuang Yuanlang..."

As the saying goes, wealth that does not return to its hometown is like walking in brocade at night.

What's the difference between passing the Jinshi exam and not being able to show your face in front of others, and not passing the exam?

For the imperial court, after each imperial examination, holding large-scale activities and banquets for new scholars can not only show the importance of the imperial examination to the imperial examination, but also encourage students from all over the world to actively participate in the imperial examination. Once they win, they will be successful. Longmen, show your holiness in front of people...

The top scholar is the first in the imperial examination and has privileges in many things that other Jinshi do not have.

For example, the top scholar in each imperial examination is the only one who can bring his wife to the parade.

In addition, the procession team also needs to pass by the home of the number one scholar, so that the number one scholar can go home to worship, and inform the ancestors of the news, so that the ancestors can have face under the Nine Springs...

If the number one scholar is not from Chang'an, he can also enshrine the ancestral tablets in the inn.

All the inns in Chang'an are willing to cooperate, and even privately offer huge sums of money to compete.

The procedures of these ceremonies were all handled by the Ministry of Etiquette. Lu Sheng took out a map of Chang'an, marked the route on it, and after confirming it with Li Nuo, asked: "Do you want the No. 1 Scholar to bring his wife with him that day? "

Li Nuo nodded and said, "That's natural."

Although the lady is indifferent, she doesn't care about anything.

At least Li Nuo discovered that she was actually a bit vain.

She definitely wanted to go to such a scene where her face was exposed.

Lu Sheng took out a pen and paper from his sleeve, and while recording, he asked: "During the parade, I wonder if the No. 1 Scholar would choose to ride a horse or ride a car?"

Of course, Li Nuo was very familiar with these rituals.

On the day of the parade, the number one scholar will wear a red robe and a black gauze hat with gold flowers and palace flowers on his head. If there is only one person, he will usually choose to ride a horse, but if he is bringing his wife, he can also choose to take a car.

Li Nuo thought for a while and said, "Let's take a ride."

Riding in a car is more comfortable than riding a horse.

The carriages in the parade are not the carriages usually seen on the streets, but open-air carriages without covers. Sitting in the carriage can also be seen by the people along the way.

The number one scholar is the absolute protagonist on the day of the ceremony. Many details of the ceremony must be adjusted according to the needs of the number one scholar. Even the dishes, songs and dances at the banquet, etc., the Ministry of Rites will ask the number one scholar for his opinion.

Because of this, in every imperial examination, young talents from all over the Xia Dynasty competed for the top spot.

Being asked one by one by Lu Sheng, not knowing when he was going to ask, Li Nuo simply took the pen and paper from his hand and said, "Okay, Mr. Lu, there is no need to ask, I will write it myself..."

Li Nuo put the pamphlet on the table and wrote quickly.

After a while, he handed the booklet to Lu Sheng and said, "Okay."

Lu Sheng took the booklet and looked at it. First, he was attracted by this good calligraphy.

His calligraphy is pretty good, but compared with Zhuangyuanlang's calligraphy, it's not good at all.

Looking at the content in the booklet, it covered all aspects of the ceremony, even the small details. Lu Sheng admired in his heart, even if he was a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, he was nothing more than this. He really deserved to be the top scholar in six subjects.

There were still some things that needed attention, but it seemed that there was no need to talk to him about it.

He put away the book and said: "Then the Ministry of Rites will make arrangements according to the number one scholar wrote..."

Before leaving, he looked back and said: "The number one scholar really doesn't think about what I said last time..."

Li Nuo glanced at him, and Lu Sheng immediately shut up and ran away.

Anyway, His Majesty will definitely appear when the Jinshis come to see him. Then he will take the opportunity to report and let His Majesty make his own decision.

Song Jiaren walked out of the room, and Li Nuo held her hand and asked her to sit on his lap.

Song Jiaren's face turned slightly red, but she did not resist and allowed Li Nuo to hold her waist.

Li Nuo looked at her and said, "The people from the Ministry of Etiquette came just now. In two days there will be a procession and banquet for the Jinshi. Let's go together."

Song Jiaren nodded and hummed slightly.

Li Nuo just held her gently and smelled the fragrance of his wife up close.

A few months ago, he wouldn't have dared to imagine such a scene.

Just holding her quietly, both of them could feel each other's heartbeat. Song Jiaren's heartbeat was a little fast at first, but gradually became gentle, maintaining the same rhythm and frequency as Li Nuo's heartbeat...

At this moment, Li Nuo really felt happiness up close.

He wished he could hold her just a little longer.

But a figure jumped down from the wall next to him at an inappropriate time.

Song Jiaren stood up immediately. Although her expression was calm, a red cloud rose on her face.

Song Yiren said to Li Nuo with a straight face: "You step aside, I will tell her something..."

Li Nuo walked towards the room and glanced at the wall she climbed over.

It was originally the residence of Song Jin and his wife, but somehow she persuaded the old lady to change places with Song Jin and his wife, and moved next door to Li Nuo. She would often jump over the wall from there.

Li Nuo even wanted to move back home with his wife.

After he walked back to the room, he hid at the door, trying to eavesdrop on what she and his wife were saying.

But they seemed to be using their true energy to transmit the sound. Li Nuo could only see her lips moving through the crack in the door, but couldn't hear what she said specifically.

However, her expression was very hard, and she definitely didn't say anything nice.

yard.

Song Yiren looked at Song Jiaren with a stern face, and said through a message: "When you are parading in a car in two days, let me sit for a while, please..."
