Madam, protect me!

Phoenix's face turned pale and he walked out of the room in despair.

When she crossed the threshold, she accidentally tripped and almost fell.

Li Nuo almost spit out his tea.

Laughing to death.

She still wants to teach her how to play the piano. Does she think she hasn’t tried it yet?

Some things cannot be forced. A lady will never have a chance to have talent in her life. Li Nuo has long recognized this reality.

She has her own track.

At the entrance of Song Mansion.

Phoenix got on the carriage with a smile on his lips.

Nightingale said distressedly: "People are obviously ignoring you. At this time, how can you still laugh?"

Phoenix had a slight smile on his lips and said, "What do you know? Being angry means that you care. If he doesn't care at all, that would be the worst result..."

Nightingale asked directly: "What are you going to do next?"

Fenghuang said: "I made an appointment with his wife. When I have free time, I will come over and teach her flower art."

Yuanyang smiled and said: "I know, this is a roundabout tactic in the art of war. If you can't fight head-on, then avoid its sharp edge and use roundabouts to outflank..."

In fact, Phoenix felt helpless.

She also wanted to go head-to-head.

But they didn't give her a chance to confront her head-on.

She had no choice but to make this decision.

This is really a bad idea.

Teaching this to my wife is really more uncomfortable than killing her.

He still had to pretend not to care.

But she made the mistake first, and no matter how uncomfortable it was, she had to grit her teeth and endure it.

Li Nuo thought that if Fenghuang taught his wife once, he would be impressed by her and give up his plan to teach her.

Unexpectedly, when he came back from the Criminal Department the next afternoon, he saw Fenghuang at home again.

She can really endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate and teach what ordinary people cannot teach.

In a place like Chang'an, it is impossible to run a small music shop into what it is now without some extraordinary skills.

Li Nuo made an appointment with some old gentlemen today and when he finished teaching them, Fenghuang had already left.

There are two vases of flower arrangements on the table in the room.

One of the bottles is staggered in height and density, with consistent density, movement and stillness, and is both solemn and harmonious.

Li Nuo could even feel the slight sadness of the person who arranged the flowers from this vase.

And another bottle.

It can also be regarded as a vase of flower arrangements.

Song Jiaren sat at the table, looked up at Li Nuo, and asked expectantly: "Can you tell which vase of flowers was inserted by me?"

Li Nuo was silent for a moment and said, "I...can't tell."

In front of his wife, he rarely lies.

But sometimes, it doesn't hurt to tell a little lie.

After a moment, he pretended to be careless and said: "Actually, if you don't like it, you don't have to learn these messy things..."

Song Jiaren said: "I like it very much..."

Li Nuo said nothing more.

After all, there is no law that stipulates that those who are talented in martial arts cannot enjoy playing the piano, painting, and arranging flowers...

Li Nuo thought that Phoenix would only persist for two or three days, but he did not expect that she actually persisted for half a month.

Even Li Nuo had to admit it.

This woman is really cruel to herself.

This is not teaching people, it is clearly atonement.

Madam and Mu'er went out with the old lady and haven't come back yet.

Phoenix was waiting in the room.

Li Nuo was reading a book by himself. At a certain moment, he felt a little thirsty. As soon as he made a move to pick up a cup, Fenghuang immediately came over and prepared to refill him with tea.

Li Nuo took the cup away and said, "I'll do it myself, I don't dare bother Miss Phoenix."

Although Chang'an selected the top twenty oirans, besides the twenty oirans, there was also an uncrowned king.

Among the twenty great oirans, there are two in Yuyin Pavilion.

But most of the guests who go to Yuyin Pavilion are going to Phoenix.

Just to see her is fifty taels, to listen to her play the piano is one hundred taels, and to drink a cup of tea that she pours herself is two hundred taels.

He couldn't afford such expensive tea.

Li Nuo poured a cup of tea and read for a while, then suddenly realized that there had been no movement in the room for a long time.

He turned his head and glanced, only to see Phoenix standing beside him, tears falling down.

The carefully applied makeup on her face was gone, and when she wiped her tears, she wiped them elsewhere. Her face, which could have charmed all living beings, was streaked with red and white, giving it a messy and ruined beauty.

Li Nuo immediately stood up, kept a certain distance from her, and said, "Don't cry, I didn't do anything to you..."

The lady will be back soon, don't let her misunderstand.

Not only did Fenghuang not stop, but she cried even louder. She squatted down, buried her head in her knees, and said with choked sobs: "It's all my fault, it's my fault. I was the one who spread those rumors, Yuyin." They threatened us that if Yuyin Pavilion did not move away, we would die without a burial place. We are just weak women, helpless in Chang'an, and have no background. I, I There is no other way..."

She cried so hard that her whole body was shaking.

Li Nuo said helplessly: "Can you stop crying first..."

Phoenix raised his head and asked, "Then can you forgive me?"

Phoenix did not do it right.

However, Li Nuo was sometimes unkind to them.

Putting himself in his shoes, if he were Phoenix, he probably wouldn't have a better way to deal with this situation.

And the way she expressed her apology was sincere. At least these days, she paid a lot of attention to her.

He taught her how to arrange flowers and how to play the piano.

Especially the latter.

Even Li Nuo sometimes felt that he was too cruel to her.

But Li Nuo did not agree immediately.

The lady is the lady, and he is him. If he forgives her easily, she might dare to do it next time.

Li Nuo helped her up and said, "We'll see how you behave in the future..."

…

Song Jiaren walked into the room, looked around, then turned around and looked at the yard, and asked, "Didn't Miss Phoenix come today?"

Li Nuo said: "She came here just now, but you were not at home and she went back again."

"oh."

Song Jiaren responded and sat opposite Li Nuo.

Li Nuo glanced at his wife and asked on a whim: "What do you think of Phoenix?"

Song Jiaren said: "It's amazing."

This is a compliment from her heart.

She can play the piano, dance, know calligraphy, draw, and arrange flowers. She can do everything she can't do. Song Jiaren is very envious of these.

She looked at Li Nuo and asked, "You seem...not to like Miss Phoenix very much."

Although the rumors outside were very outrageous, in Song Jiaren's memory, he didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about Miss Phoenix from the beginning.

Especially this half month.

She clearly felt that his attitude towards Miss Phoenix was very bad.

When Miss Phoenix talks to him, he always seems to be ignoring her.

He didn't even want to look at her again.

Li Nuo looked at Song Jiaren and asked, "Should I like Miss Phoenix?"

Song Jiaren said nothing.

He really doesn't seem to be interested in the things he likes.

But he can do very well on his own.

Is this a smart person?

…

At this moment, in Yuyin Pavilion.

When I was in the Song Mansion just now, all the carefully prepared makeup made me cry.

Fenghuang sat in front of the mirror and touched up her makeup, with a faint smile on her face.

Nightingale stood beside her and asked, "Has he forgiven you?"

Phoenix said: "No."

Nightingale rolled her eyes at him, "Are you so happy without you?"

Phoenix said happily: "But he talked to me."

Nightingale asked: "What did he say?"

A smile appeared on Fenghuang's face and he said: "He said that he has never forgiven me. It depends on how I behave in the future. If he is willing to say this, it means that he has decided to forgive me. As long as I behave better in the future, I can go back to the past... …”

Nightingale looked at the humble Phoenix with suspicion in her eyes.

She murmured: "Didn't you say that you can have all the men in the world at your fingertips? You can play with them as you please. I think you are the one who is being played with. From the beginning, we agreed to let Mr. Li I can’t extricate myself from your charm, but why do I think you fell into it first?”

"How is it possible for me?" Phoenix chuckled and said, "It's just that I was indeed at fault in this matter. If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made my own decision and told him the truth..."

Nightingale said sadly: "You didn't expect that people are not interested in you at all, right?"

Phoenix said angrily: "Will you die if you don't tell the truth?"

…

Since the time has entered the twelfth lunar month, the weather has become colder and colder.

The lady herself practiced cold-type exercises, so she was naturally not afraid of the cold, but Li Nuo already felt that it was not enough to cover herself with a quilt at night. Last night, he was woken up by the cold once.

It snowed yesterday, which means winter has really arrived.

This morning, the Song Mansion's maid removed the two thin quilts and replaced them with a thick winter quilt.

Neither Li Nuo nor Song Jiaren said anything. When they took Muer out for skiing, they saw a store promoting the sale of winter quilts. Li Nuo pretended not to see it, and Song Jiaren didn't mention it.

After playing with Mu'er for most of the day, the three of them returned to Song Mansion.

Li Nuo walked into the room and saw two winter quilts on the bed.

He turned to look at the maid who was cleaning the yard and asked, "Xiaodie, who sent the other quilt?"

The maid turned back and said, "I don't know. When I came, there were two quilts there. Maybe the old lady was afraid that my uncle and young lady would be cold, so she had someone give me another quilt..."

"I know, there's no need to clean here, you can go do other things."

"But I haven't finished cleaning yet..."

"Nothing to worry about, go ahead!"

"Oh, then I'm leaving..."

Watching the little maid leave, Li Nuo looked around, picked up a quilt, and walked into the side room.

When I walked out again, my hands were empty.

night.

Since there is only one quilt, the two of them can only share one quilt tonight.

It was snowing heavily outside, Li Nuo was covered with a thick quilt, and next to his sweet-smelling lady, he closed his eyes and said in his heart: "It's so warm..."

The cold wind was howling. In another small courtyard of the Song Mansion, a woman was huddled on a bed without a quilt. She could only circulate her true energy to keep out the cold. She gritted her teeth and said, "This damn weather is so cold..."
