Streets of Chang'an. Li Nuo took his wife's hand in one hand and Mu'er in the other hand, strolling on the street in front of the Song Mansion. In the past, when the three of them went out, Mu'er walked in the middle, and he and his wife each held one of her hands. Now, he was in the middle. Many changes happened quietly without him noticing. This month, Li Nuo did not go to Yuyin Pavilion again. Because of an article "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", the rumors about him and Fenghuang were once again spread all over the city. The rumors that he and his wife were divorced were also rampant. Not going to Yuyin Pavilion was to avoid suspicion. Of course, it was more than just avoiding suspicion.
Looking back on the whole thing, at first, he just thought it was Fenghuang's narcissism. But under the condition that Li Nuo asked her to keep it secret, the next day, this article was almost spread throughout Chang'an. After that, those rumors that were about to subside were brought up again. Yuyin Pavilion once again stood at the cusp of the storm. As the person involved, Fenghuang naturally became the center of public opinion, and countless people wanted to see the beauty. Just to see her once would cost fifty taels of silver, and a piece she played casually would be worth a hundred taels. Even if Li Nuo was slow, he could still think that someone must be behind this. Phoenix and Nightingale had helped him a lot, and if they needed help, he wouldn't mind helping them, even if they didn't need money. But he hated this kind of secret calculation. He treated them as friends. But she treated him as a fool. Li Nuo didn't intend to argue with her, but the previous friendship was written off from then on. Speaking of which, the most outrageous thing in the whole thing was some people's interpretation of that fu. What was called courtship, but in fact it was a veiled criticism of His Majesty, it was simply outrageous. Li Nuo didn't say anything himself, but they just accepted this statement. Once this charge was confirmed, it would be a serious crime. The lightest sentence would be exile. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have been arrested and taken to the Mingjing Division for tea. Fortunately, the Mingjing Division was opened by their family. The three people walked leisurely on the street. Every time they passed a place, there would be a whisper from the crowd.
"Didn't they say that these two people were going to divorce?" "Divorce bullshit, have you ever seen a couple who are about to divorce walk hand in hand every day?" "So, those rumors are false." "Not only are they false, but the couple's relationship is very good. Haven't you read the book "Collection of Beautiful Women"?" "What "Collection of Beautiful Women"?" "It's a collection of poems that was just published half a month ago. You can buy one and see it." "Who are you?" "I'm a clerk at the Beautiful Women Bookstore. My name is Zhao Er. If you tell me my name, I can give you an employee price when you go to the bookstore to buy books..." ... "Collection of Beautiful Women" is a new collection of poems published in Chang'an half a month ago. It was sold out on the first printing day. In just half a month, it became completely popular in Chang'an. The literati of Daxia like to publish some poetry and prose collections. It is probably the common dream of every literati to have their works praised by the world. Those famous talents all have their own poetry collections, and they have many admirers. Every time the poetry collections are updated, they will be snapped up by admirers. Officials in the court also liked to compile their own collections in the past. Not only for fame, but also for certain profits. The collections signed by some officials, a thin volume, can be sold for hundreds or thousands of taels of silver at any time, which used to be an important means for them to accept bribes. This method is reasonable and legal, and even the court has no reason to prohibit it. Until the past few years, Li Xuanjing, the Minister of Dali Temple, has been engaged in text terror. Any sentence may be distorted and deconstructed. Those officials are afraid of being caught, so they dare not write anything again. This "Collection of Beautiful Women" was written by the son of the Minister of Dali Temple. The first poem in the collection is a short poem. One look can make the city fall, and another look can make the country fall. In just two short sentences, the beauty is written to the extreme. After that, those who write about beauty can only sigh. The poem is called "Beauty", which echoes the name of the collection and the name of his wife. As soon as this poem came out, the rumors about their marital discord were refuted. How beautiful is the beauty that can make him abandon even the country? In terms of writing about beauties, even the "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" cannot compare. However, for the sake of beauty, even the country is abandoned. On the surface, the values of this poem are not worth promoting and are contrary to Confucianism. But Confucian scholars have made a deeper explanation for this. How could the person who can write "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" only praise his wife in this poem?
No matter how beautiful the beauty is, how can she abandon the city and the country for one person? The beauty here is not a beauty, but the dream of your majesty to live forever. He never meant to say that for the sake of beauty, he can give up the world. On the contrary, he used such an exaggerated method to advise His Majesty to put the country first and not abandon the world and the people for the sake of illusory immortality... The literary and political value of this poem is even higher than that of "The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix". In addition to this poem "Beauty", the other poems in this collection are also extremely rare masterpieces. "The beauty hides the present and the past, and the lotus is ashamed of the jade face", which once again praises the beauty of his wife, which is similar to "One look can make the city fall, and another look can make the country fall". "It's been a thousand years since the beauty met" once again embeds her name into the poem, expressing her beautiful wish to grow old together with the one she loves forever. It makes people feel that there is no more affectionate confession in the world than this. "Mountains have no edges, rivers are exhausted, winter thunders tremble, summer rains and snows, heaven and earth are united, but I dare to be separated from you." As soon as it came out, people knew that what lasted longer than heaven and earth was the destruction of heaven and earth. "If love lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?" I don't know how many women have resonated. … "Collection of Beautiful Women" contains twenty poems, each of which is a masterpiece that those who consider themselves talented people could never write in their lifetime. Compared with her wife Song Jiaren, the Phoenix girl from Yuyin Pavilion has become a joke. Also let those rumors disappear completely overnight. These poems all contain his strong feelings for his wife. The collection of poems is called "Collection of Beautiful Women". The poem is called "Beauty". Poetry is also full of "beauties". Even the bookstore is called Jiaren Bookstore. Is there any need to guess the intention behind this? He used the most direct, simple and crude way to silence all those who spread rumors. As soon as "Collection of Beautiful Women" came out, for half a month, not a single poem by the talented people in Chang'an was leaked. The women in Chang'an, especially those who admired talented people, were envious of Song Jiaren and went crazy with envy. If they had such a husband-in-law, they would declare their love for them to the whole world in this way, and they would be willing to do whatever they asked them to do, even if it meant death. Damn those who spread rumors. Fuck Heli! If this couple gets divorced, there will be no love in the world! For half a month, many people even lingered in front of the Song Mansion all day long, just to see with their own eyes this peerless beauty in the poem.
How beautiful a woman is to deserve such a poem? There are also many women who step out of their homes despite criticism and want to see what kind of person can write such poems? Along the way, wherever Li Nuo and Song Jiaren walked, there were constant discussions. "She is indeed a rare beauty..." "It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the city has conquered the country, but it's not in vain." "The two of them are such a perfect match. Is that little girl their daughter?" "How is it possible? They just got married. Where did they get their daughter..." … Somewhere in an alleyway. The woman with Mu Li held a "Collection of Beauties" in her hand. Watching the two people drifting away, her fists clenched involuntarily, and her nails left deep marks on the cover of the poetry collection. After a long time, she breathed a sigh of relief, put away the book of poems, and walked into a small courtyard deep in the alley. After closing the courtyard door, she took off the curtain on her head, revealing a charming face. She walked straight into a room somewhere. One wall of the room is covered with paintings. The women in the paintings are extremely beautiful, either holding a sword and looking back, or leaning on a railing and looking into the distance, with an extraordinary temperament. The artist who painted the painting is also very skilled. Looking from a distance, the woman in the painting seems to be walking out of the painting. As the woman looked at these paintings, a trace of fantasy emerged in her heart, and the corners of her mouth could not help but curl up. The next moment, her expression changed and she said coldly: "Who!" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned back and looked inside, the sword in her hand already clenched. A figure walked out of the back bedroom. It was an old woman with gray hair and a wrinkled face. She was wearing a white robe. There were three hill-shaped marks on her left shoulder. She looked at the woman with a smile and asked, "You can hide for a while, how can you hide for a lifetime?" When she saw the old woman, the woman did not draw her sword. She threw the sword on the ground angrily and said angrily: "If I don't hide, how can I go back and get married? That vulgar martial artist can't play the piano, draw, write poetry, and can't beat him." I am absolutely worthless, why should I marry him..." The more she talked, the angrier and angrier she became. She even cried in aggrievedness. She wiped her tears vigorously and cried: "Whoa, why should she? These are all mine. She robbed my home." Forget it, even my husband wants to take it from me..."
