My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

After the poetry contest between Chang'an and Wang Wei ended, many scholars in long robes came into the cloth shop, hoping to write poems to win a new piece of clothing, but no one could get first place.

When no one came up to write poems, Li Mengjuan announced the official opening of the shop, and customers crowded into the new cloth shop to start buying. Because Chang An and Wang Wei got first-class clothes, someone came up to measure them, but Chang An was not interested in new clothes, so he asked the maid in the shop to measure Gu Li.

After everything was settled, Chang An and the other two left the cloth shop.

"Brother Mojie, I have an unreasonable request. I wonder if you can agree to it?" Chang An asked Wang Wei while standing at the door of the cloth shop.

"Mr. Chang, please speak."

"I wonder if I am qualified to be your friend, Brother Mojie?" Chang An said with a smile.

"Of course you can." Wang Wei agreed readily. "It seems that Brother Chang wants to continue his trip with his beloved wife. I will not disturb you any more. I will take my leave first."

"Brother Mojie, take care."

After Wang Wei and Chang An exchanged greetings, they left. Seeing Wang Wei walking away, Gu Li said:

"It seems that Chang Lang likes this Wang Langjun very much."

"I have admired Brother Mo Jie for a long time. When I met him today, he was indeed the same as the rumors said." Chang An nodded and continued to hold Gu Li's hand.

"Well, Chang Lang is the same as the rumors said." At this time, Gu Li suddenly changed the subject.

"My rumors? What rumors are there about me?" Chang An was stunned for a moment and asked. Then he felt something was wrong and quickly added, "Mother Gu, don't believe those rumors. Many of them are false."

"Really?" Gu Li suddenly turned to look at Chang An, his bright eyes fixed on Chang An's eyes, "I don't think it's fake, and I saw it with my own eyes, how could it be fake."

"What?" Chang An couldn't help but become nervous. Could it be that the original owner of his body had done something shameful before?

"Chang Lang says every day that he is not as talented as others say, but today, Chang Lang wrote two poems in a row that everyone praised." Gu Li said, pouting slightly, looking very cute, "Or is Chang Lang actually a liar?"

"Ah... this..." Chang An quickly put on a smile, shook Gu Li's hand, and said flatteringly: "How could I lie to you, Gu Niang, right? From now on, whatever you say is what it means."

Gu Li originally wanted to play a trick on Chang An, but he didn't expect that Chang An's desire to survive was so overwhelming, so he stopped teasing him and just smiled and continued to let him lead him.

Chang An continued to walk around with Gu Li, and finally returned to the gate of the market, where the carriage had already been waiting. After such a long tour of the East Market, they only bought two books and some rouge.

Huaiqin and Zhen'er had been waiting in the carriage for a long time, so when Chang'an and Gu Li got on, the driver took them directly to Chang's house. After returning home, after dinner and a bath, Chang'an and Gu Li read books at their desks. After strolling around the East Market for most of the day, they were exhausted even if they were physically strong, so they went to bed when it was time tonight - after all, Chang'an had to go back to the Imperial College to continue his classes tomorrow.

......

The next day, Chang An woke up on time again. He looked at Gu Li who seemed to be still asleep, so he sat up quietly and put on his shoes. Huaiqin also came in with a basin of water at this time, very punctual.

While Chang'an was washing up, Huaiqin stood quietly by his side. Neither of them spoke, trying their best not to disturb Gu Li who was still sleeping.

But even so, just after washing up, Chang An heard a soft humming sound coming from the room - it should be Gu Li waking up. Chang An looked in the direction of the bed, and Gu Li was slowly sitting up from the bed.

"Chang Lang...you're awake." While saying this, Gu Li was rubbing his eyes.

"Did I wake you up?" Chang An asked after wiping his face.

"No, I woke up on my own." Gu Li moved to the bedside and put on his shoes. "Is Chang Lang going to the Imperial College today?"

"Yeah." Chang An raised his hand to signal Huaiqin to bring in a basin of water, and then he sat back on the bed.

"Then I'll see Chang Lang off."

Gu Li said, then stood up and walked to the clothes rack, took Chang An's clothes, and helped him put them on. After helping Chang An change his clothes, Huaiqin came in with a new basin of water, and Gu Li went forward to wash and change clothes.

When they arrived at the door, Huaiqin took the book box and got into the car first, while Changan was at the door, giving instructions:

"If you are bored, take out the books I put on the desk and read them. If you feel like coughing, drink some hot water. If there is no hot water, ask the servants to fetch some. Breakfast will be ready soon. If you want to eat, go and eat. You don't have to be restrained since only your father is here. When the servants start to prepare lunch, I will probably be home soon after that. If you feel tired of reading and want to go out for a walk, remember to ask the guards to come with you."

Chang An thought about it for a while, and after confirming that he had nothing to add, he said, "That's all you need to pay attention to for now. Did you remember them all, Gu Niang?"

Gu Li nodded and replied, "I'll remember it."

"That's fine." Chang An suddenly kissed Gu Li's soft face, smiled and ran into the carriage, "I'm leaving."

When Gu Li was kissed, her mind suddenly went blank, and her fair little hand unconsciously touched the place where Chang An had just kissed her. When she came to her senses, she wanted to see where Chang An was, but the carriage had gone far away. Only then did she realize that she had been kissed, and her cheeks instantly turned red. She was afraid that outsiders would see her like this, so she quickly ran into the mansion.

As soon as she ran back to the mansion, a maid came towards her and said respectfully, "Sanniang, breakfast is ready. You can go and eat now."

Upon hearing this, Gu Li hurriedly stopped, took a few deep breaths, pretended nothing had happened, nodded slightly, and let the maid lead the way.

But after walking for a while, Gu Li realized something was wrong and asked, "Where are we going to have breakfast?"

"To answer Sanniang's question, we are going to Alang's courtyard," the maid replied, "Alang wants to invite Gu Niang to have breakfast together."

As she spoke, the maid brought Gu Li to Chang Wenmeng's courtyard. Chang Wenmeng was sitting in the pavilion with a bowl of porridge. When he saw her coming, he shouted enthusiastically, "Sanniang, here."

Seeing this, Gu Li couldn't refuse anymore, so she had to come to Chang Wenmeng's pavilion. Before she could even open her mouth to greet him, Chang Wenmeng pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for her to sit down.

Gu Li also called out "Father" and sat down. As soon as she sat down, a maid brought a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of her.

"Chang An never likes to eat breakfast, so I asked someone to prepare some side dishes for you to enjoy." Chang Wenmeng said with wrinkles on his face from smiling.

"No, I'm not picky about food." Gu Li picked up the bowl and took a small sip, obviously a little reserved.

Chang Wenmeng drank two mouthfuls of porridge and found that something was wrong with Gu Li, so he asked, "What's wrong? Did Chang An bully you?"

When Gu Li heard this, he thought that Chang Wenmeng had some misunderstanding, and quickly shook his head and said, "No, Chang Lang is very nice to me. He even took me out to play in the East Market yesterday."

"That's good," Chang Wenmeng nodded, and then said, "This kid is usually a bohemian boy. I'm just worried that he will still be so naughty after getting married."

Gu Li listened while drinking porridge without saying anything, because she also wanted to know more about what kind of person her husband was.

"Oh, and one more thing," Chang Wenmeng finished his bowl of porridge, put it down, and continued, "Here, the kitchen starts to cook lunch when the students at the Imperial College finish school. It only takes about an incense stick of time to get home from the Imperial College. If you see the kitchen cooking for a long time but he hasn't returned home, send someone to the Imperial College to find me."

Hearing this, Gu Li felt a little confused and asked, "Why?"

Chang Wenmeng saw the puzzled expression on his daughter-in-law's face and explained, "Although Chang An is a normal kid and has no problems with his conduct, he just..."

"He just loves to go to the courtyard in Pingkangfang."

"Chang Lang... likes to go to Pingkangfang?" Gu Li felt a little unbelievable, because in her eyes, Chang An was the kind of person who was elegant, generous and omnipotent, and such a person would actually like to go to the Red Courtyard in Pingkangfang? !

"You also knew about it before. Didn't that incident happen in Pingkangfang?" Chang Wenmeng said, and fearing that his beloved daughter-in-law would be sad, he hurriedly said, "If he goes there again, send someone to tell me, and I will bring him back. You are the only one who will be held responsible."

Gu Li still didn't quite believe it, but he didn't let Chang Wenmeng down. He forced a smile and said, "I will."

Chang Wenmeng nodded with satisfaction, stood up and said, "Take your time to eat. I'm going to court now."

Gu Li nodded and watched Chang Wenmeng leave, but he was thinking about something in his heart...

At noon, the kitchen started to prepare lunch on time, and the Imperial College also finished school on time. Gu Li was in the house, reading a book while calculating the time in his mind. When the time of one stick of incense was almost up, Gu Li came to the gate of Chang's house and waited for Chang An to come home from school.

She stretched her head and looked in the direction where Chang An left in the morning. But after waiting for a long time, she still didn't see the shadow of the carriage, which made Gu Li a little worried. She was also a little afraid that Chang An was really going to Pingkangfang.

After waiting at the door for another half an incense stick, Gu Li heard the sound of carriage wheels rolling. She hurriedly looked in the direction where the sound came from - a familiar carriage slowly came into her sight. She couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

When the carriage came to her, she saw Chang An leaning out from behind the curtain with a bookcase on his back and a basket in his hand. As soon as Chang An got off the carriage, he saw Gu Li standing at the door. A smile appeared on his face and he shouted:

"Mother Gu, I'm back."

Gu Li also walked forward with a smile and asked, "Why did you come back so late today?"

"Oh, I went to another shop," Chang An then raised a basket in his hand and showed it to Gu Li like a trophy, "Here, look at what I bought, Madam Gu."

Gu Li was also aroused by his curiosity. He lifted the cloth covering the basket and looked inside. He found only some lard. He asked in confusion, "Why did Chang Lang buy lard?"

"I'll make you some soap."

"What is soap?"

Chang An knew that there was no such thing as soap at that time. He thought about it for a while and explained, "Soap is something used for bathing. When you use it, you apply it on your body. It can not only clean your body better, but also leave a fresh fragrance after use."

Gu Li listened, raised his hands, put them in front of his nose and smelled them, frowned, and asked in confusion: "Does Chang Lang think I'm not fragrant enough?"

Chang An was amused by her cute appearance, "Of course she smells good, who said my mother Gu doesn't smell good."

"Then what do we need this thing called soap for?" Gu Li asked puzzledly.

"Of course it's to make my Gu Niang more fragrant," Chang An stretched out his free hand, took Gu Li's hand, and said, "I want everyone in Chang'an City to know that my Gu Niang is the most fragrant."
