After Lu Hongti disappeared, the street was still in chaos. The corpses and blood on the ground told what happened just now.

Some people were frightened and fled in a hurry, far away from this bloody place. There were also brave people who were curious. The murderer was gone and there was no danger. They squeezed against the flow of people to see what was going on.

There were also a few greedy people who carefully approached the slain soldiers and guards and boldly groped around on them, occasionally finding some broken silver and copper coins.

Li Mu stood on the second floor of the teahouse, watching quietly. Suddenly he turned his head and glanced in the distance. A group of soldiers were approaching hundreds of feet away.

"This is reinforcements coming, but it's a bit late."

He threw a piece of broken silver on the table, turned to Su Tan'er and the others and said, "Soldiers are coming. They will probably search the shops one by one later. Let's go and save ourselves the trouble."

Su Tan'er nodded: "Listen to your husband."

After getting off the teahouse, a few people walked out of the street along the exit on one side and entered the long street on the other side. It was still peaceful here, with all kinds of lanterns, shops, food stalls... everything was available, and it was very lively, as if the experience just now was just a dream.

.

However, as a group of people walked on the street, they heard people talking about the fight just now.

"Have you heard? There was a river of blood on the street just now. It is said that the person who did it was a female assassin. Song Xian, who was supposed to assassinate Wu Liejun in Feiyan Pavilion, had too many guards there, so he failed to kill him and was killed instead.

The officers, soldiers and guards pursued him, but they were all killed."

A few people walked around for a while, and such comments came to their ears many times. It seemed that the fight just now had a considerable impact.

Everyone doesn't know who Song Xian, the captain of the Wulie Army, is, but the reputation of the Wulie Army who guards Jiangning is not good, and Song Xian is naturally not a good person.

As he spoke, his tone was inevitably a bit gloating.

Soon, soldiers of the Wu Lie Army also appeared on this street, searching and investigating everywhere, causing a lot of noise. Everyone looked at the shining weapons and did not dare to cause trouble, so they could only curse in secret.

As a result, naturally nothing was found.

However, tonight's assassination and fighting are destined to be just a small episode. The captain of the Wu Lie Army is not a great figure in Jiangning. It is okay to use soldiers to search in a small area, but to search in a large area.

You can only make yourself uncomfortable if you choose the wrong path.

Our country, the Great Wu Dynasty, has its own national conditions, emphasizing culture over military force, and using culture to suppress military force. This is not nonsense.

By the time Li Mu and the others walked to the Jiuyulou near Wuyi Lane, the street had completely returned to calm, as if there was no such bloody fight just now.

Jiuyulou is one of the largest restaurants in Jiangning. It is five stories high and covers a vast area. It is said to be a restaurant, but it is more like an entertainment center. You can find it here in Jiangning.

There was also a small poetry meeting held here tonight. Li Mu and the others walked nearby, and a scholar recognized him and invited him upstairs, but Li Mu declined politely.

In fact, this is also a good opportunity to show off. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, during the Lantern Festival, I will compose a song called "The Case of Sapphire", which will amaze everyone with my skills and enjoy everyone's shock and admiration. It is hard to refuse even thinking about it.

However, Li Mu is not lacking in fame now. His unique Song script and thin gold script have already made him famous, and these poems are just the icing on the cake.

When you encounter a suitable occasion, there is nothing wrong with writing a poem. There is no need to deliberately show off.

The group of people wandered around for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they returned to the Su Mansion.

After returning to the small building and chatting and laughing for a while, Su Tan'er suddenly said: "Ms. sir, I have something for you."

Li Mu asked curiously: "What?"

Su Tan'er blinked: "My lord, please wait a moment."

As she said that, she led a few girls, put on lanterns, and walked towards the small building where she used to live. After a while, light footsteps sounded downstairs. Su Tan'er walked in front, and the three little girls each held a small child.

The package followed.

Li Mu said: "This is..."

Su Tan'er said: "I made some clothes for you." After saying that, she asked several little girls to put the packages on the table and open them one by one.

Clothes, hats, shoes and socks are all available.

Xiaochan said: "Uncle, the lady and the rest of us made this stitch by stitch. It took a long time, and some parts were not satisfactory. The lady also took us to ask the weaver in the house for advice, and went back several times.

I have to work hard to finish these two sets of clothes."

"Uncle, please take a look and see if you like it."

Li Mu picked up the clothes and looked at them: "I like it, of course I like it."

After saying that, he walked forward, hugged Su Tan'er gently, and said softly in her ear: "Thank you for your hard work, madam."

Su Tan'er's face was slightly red, and she seemed a little emotional. She glanced at the girls shyly and said, "You guys go down."

Several girls with flushed faces winked at the words and walked out with smiles.

…

On the other side, during the Lantern Festival, Nie Yunzhu and Hu Tao rarely came out to enjoy the lanterns as they were busy with "Bamboo Records" every day.

I happened to meet a woman from Jinfeng Tower who came out to get medicine. Nie Yunzhu had taught her how to play the piano before. After saying hello, I found out that Yuan Jiner had contracted the cold and was lying ill in the backyard of Jinfeng Tower.

The two had a very good relationship, so they took Hu Tao to visit.

The backyard of Jinfeng House is not big, but it is very exquisite. It is divided into several separate small courtyards. It is not a top-notch one, and it is probably impossible to live in such a place.

All the way into the small courtyard where Yuan Jin'er lived, he was lying on the bed looking at the oil lamp in a daze.

Seeing Nie Yunzhu, he was a little surprised: "Sister Yunzhu, why are you here?"

Nie Yunzhu stepped forward and touched her forehead: "I heard you had a cold, how are you doing now?"

Yuan Jin'er stood up and said, "I'm much better now after taking the medicine."

Nie Yunzhu said: "Tell your mother to take a good rest for two days."

Yuan Jin'er smiled bitterly. As the signature of Jinfeng Tower, even if it was cold, it was not easy to close the door and thank guests.

"Well, it's not that heavy actually. It's just that the menstrual period happened to be coming, and I was sore and weak due to the wind and cold. It would be difficult for me to play and sing. Fortunately, my mother agreed to help me block these guests today, but today is the Lantern Festival, so upstairs

It’s very lively in there, and my mother is very worried when I stop her.”

"Many guests didn't believe me when they said I was sick. They insisted on coming over to visit me once or twice. After confirmation, they said a few words of comfort before leaving."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Nie Yunzhu nodded: "It's hard for you, my mother's heart is quite good."

She said this out of emotion. Jinfenglou's mother was somewhat conscientious. If it had been elsewhere, she probably wouldn't have been able to redeem herself.

While the two were talking, Yuan Jin'er's maid Kuo'er sent in a poem.

"Miss, this is a poem specially written for you by Mr. Cao Guancao."

Yuan Jin'er had no choice but to open it and read it. It turned out to be a poem praising a sick beauty. He handed it to Nie Yunzhu and asked Kou'er out to thank him according to etiquette.

Nie Yunzhu looked at the poem in his hand. It was quite beautiful. The two of them had met many talented people. Although such poems written casually were talented and surprising, it was a bit difficult. After looking at it for a few times, he put it down.

.

He joked: "This Cao Guan is also a well-known talent in Jiangning. He is considered to be very talented in literature. What do you think, sister?"

Yuan Jin'er shook his head: "What can you think? It's just the reputation of a talented scholar and a beautiful woman. He can send this little poem conveniently. At this moment, he is probably drinking and having fun with a group of people in the front hall."

"For us, what difference does it make whether it is Cao Guan... or Li Pin? For Cao Guan, what is the difference between Yuan Jin'er and Lu Caicai?"

"Talents and beauties, if there are talents and beauties, their reputation will increase if word spreads about them. It doesn't actually matter which talent or beauty is which."

Nie Yunzhu wiped her face with a towel: "I see you full of energy on weekdays, but after a cold, this is a profound enlightenment."

Yuan Jin'er chuckled and said, "Jin'er has now figured out what the point is of a talented and beautiful woman, sweet talk, and probably still destined to be a concubine in the end."

"Jin'er has to choose now, and probably only chooses two kinds of people."

Nie Yunzhu asked curiously: "Which two types?"

Yuan Jin'er clasped her fingers and said seriously: "The first option is to find someone who is rich and powerful and treats Jin'er well. It's best to raise Jin'er like a pig. Of course, he can't be too old or too ugly."

Then he stretched out his second finger: "The second type! The kind of pretty guy who has good character, keeps his word, is handsome, and has talent. It doesn't matter if he is poor, Jin'er will support him."

Nie Yunzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you thinking? Even the pretty boy has come out, and you still support others."

Yuan Jin'er said seriously: "Sister Yunzhu, I am serious. Is there really such a person? Do you know Ning Yi?"

A look of surprise flashed across Nie Yunzhu's face. He was a little curious that Ning Yi and Yuan Jin'er were actually in contact. It's not like that!

"You're talking about Ning Yi, who wrote the song "Shui Tiao Song Tou".

Yuan Jin'er nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, this is Ning Yi. He is also the son-in-law of the Su family."

"Didn't you hear what people said! In order to keep his promise and fulfill the marriage contract made by the previous generation, Ning Yi, a famous talent, is willing to marry into the Su family. I heard that he is handsome and elegant, so he can take advantage of the Su family's young lady.

.If I could meet someone like Ning Yi, I would be willing to support him."

Nie Yunzhu touched his forehead and smiled bitterly: "Not to mention that he is already married, even if he is not, he does not need you to support him. I have never heard that his calligraphy is now worth a fortune. If he writes any calligraphy, the retouching fee will be a lot, which is more than yours.

The small treasury is much richer."

Yuan Jin'er held her heart with both hands and said with a silly smile on her face: "That's not better. He can make money, which can just support me."

The corners of Nie Yunzhu's mouth moved and he was completely speechless.

Yuan Jin'er smiled, then pursed her lips and thought for a moment, "Such a pretty boy is indeed rare to find."

"Sister Yunzhu, I heard that your snack business is very prosperous now. What do you think if Jin'er also redeems herself and sells snacks with you?"

Nie Yunzhu smiled and said: "Aren't you talking nonsense?"

Yuan Jin'er said: "Of course it's not nonsense. I heard that Hu Tao is about to get married. After she gets married, you will be the only one left, Sister Yunzhu. Wouldn't you be lonely? Jin'er can just accompany you."
