My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

The carriage stopped. Chang An pulled open the curtain, leaned out, and looked up to see his destination: the Gu Mansion in Guangdefang.

The servants of the Gu Mansion had already put the pedal in place. When Chang An got off the carriage, he saw a middle-aged man walking towards him. Through the memories that appeared in his mind, he also learned the identity of this man: Gu Ke, a wealthy merchant in Chang'an City, who occasionally visited his family's house and seemed to have some relationship with his father Chang Wenmeng.

"Chang An has met Mr. Gu."

Chang An searched his mind quickly before saying this address, and while saying it, he raised his left hand to hold his right hand, raised his right thumb, and showed his left little finger in a formal cross-hand salute. But this salute didn't matter, everyone present was stunned, and even looked at each other, confirming whether this person was Chang An.

You know, in the Tang Dynasty, many scholars and aristocratic families looked down on merchants. Although Chang An did not mean to look down on merchants, he would never pay attention to any merchant, let alone pay respect to him.

But what they don’t know is that this Chang’an is not the same Chang’an. The original Chang’an disappeared long ago, and the current Chang’an is a person who traveled through time and space and “took over” his body.

Gu Ke was the first to react and quickly returned the greeting: "Mr. Chang, you are too polite. Please come in quickly."

After that, he took Chang'an's hand, walked into the house, led him to the lobby, and even personally pulled him to the second seat. At this time, Huaiqin and the servants also moved two boxes to the door, and also brought a lively wild goose.

When Chang An saw these things, his eyelids couldn't help but jump: Isn't this the gift of marriage in ancient times?

"Chang Jun, please take a seat."

"Thank you, Mr. Gu."

Chang An bowed again.

Mr. Gu smiled naively and sat on the main seat. Opposite Chang'an were already two men sitting. When they noticed that Chang'an was looking at them, they bowed and Chang'an returned the greetings one by one.

Then he hooked his finger towards the side, and Huaiqin leaned over and listened to Chang An's words:

"Are these two the young masters of the Gu family?"

"Yes, they are Gu Baizhi, the eldest son of the Gu family, and Gu Huashuo, the second son of the Gu family."

"Then...who is that Miss Gu?"

"She is the third daughter of the Gu family, her name is Gu Li."

"Gu Li?!"

Huaiqin nodded, but Changan looked incredulous. My name is Changan, and her name is Gu Li? !

"Oh my, this gentleman looks unfamiliar, but is he Dr. Chang's husband?"

Before Chang An could continue asking, he heard an extremely flattering voice coming from the door. He looked up and saw a fat woman in a red dress walking in, followed by another person, who also looked like a woman.

"Mr. Chang, this is the matchmaker Wang that Dr. Chang invited to be the matchmaker today."

Chang An raised his hand to salute, which made Wang the matchmaker feel flattered. She quickly returned the salute and turned sideways to reveal the true face of the young lady behind her. When Chang An saw this young lady, he didn't know if it was an illusion, the birdsong disappeared, the wind stopped, the leaves were still, and everything was silent. He couldn't help but look at the young lady in front of him.

I don't know if this lady is shy, because her eyebrows are slightly drooping and her cheeks are slightly red. She wears light makeup, with only a red flower on her forehead, which makes her already beautiful face look even whiter. She wears a straight-collared shirt with a plain back over it, a long skirt with a red and white skirt belt tied to her chest, and a light blue shirt with large sleeves on the outside, with a few plum blossoms embroidered on the cuffs.

"Mr. Chang, the lady behind me is Sanniang Gu... Sanniang, please quickly meet Mr. Chang." Matchmaker Wang said.

"My name is Gu Li, nice to meet you, my dear."

Gu Li clasped his hands together, with his right hand on top, placed on his left waist, leaned forward slightly, moved his hands slightly, bent his knees slightly, and saluted Chang An:

"My name is Chang'an, nice to meet you, my lady."

Chang An stood up, bowed slightly and returned a standard crossed-arm salute.

This scene stunned Gu Da and Gu Er who were standing by.

"He is Chang An? That Chang An usually doesn't even look at us, but now he actually salutes us?!"

"I don't know either... They didn't just randomly find someone and say it's Chang An..."

"That's unlikely... Even if we haven't seen him, my father has seen him. It's impossible that even my father would make a mistake, right?"

"Did he take the wrong medicine?"

"..."

Chang An heard the two people whispering and couldn't help feeling speechless. It seemed that the previous Chang An was good in every way except that he just didn't like to deal with businessmen.

Matchmaker Wang took Gu Li and sat opposite Chang An. After settling Gu Li, she came to Chang An and said with a smile, "Are you satisfied, Mr. Chang?"

Chang An raised his eyebrows, turned sideways and whispered to Huai Qin beside him: "What are you dissatisfied with?"

Huaiqin glanced at Chang'an, and when she thought of the various things that had happened since morning till now, she stopped thinking and whispered, "I just want to ask you if you are satisfied with Madam Gu. If you are satisfied, it means you are willing to marry Madam Gu."

After getting the answer, Chang An resumed his sitting position and said to him, "Since my father chose her for me, she must be a beautiful woman. Now that I see that Madam Gu is such a beautiful woman, how can I be dissatisfied?"

Matchmaker Wang smiled even more happily, turned around and went back to Gu Li, and asked the same question: "Is Miss Gu San satisfied?"

Gu Li heard the question and looked from Matchmaker Wang's shoulder to Chang An. She saw that the young man was sitting there, taking a sip of tea slowly. She had often heard the two brothers say that he was not close to businessmen and was very arrogant. But when she saw him today, she knew that Chang An looked handsome, suave, well-educated, and modest, which was completely different from what the two brothers said.

Gu Li retracted his gaze, looked at Matchmaker Wang, and said, "I am satisfied too."

"So good!"

Matchmaker Wang smiled happily, then turned around and came to Chang'an, and asked with a smile: "Since both the man and the lady are satisfied today, why not do the marriage proposal and the marriage proposal together?"

I already know about Nacai and Wenming Chang'an, which are the six rituals of marriage.

"Matchmaker Wang, please."

Chang An stretched out his hand and signaled to Matchmaker Wang, who then returned to Gu Li and asked, "Mrs. Gu Sanniang, would you like to tell me your birthday? I can then go back and ask someone to divine for you."

Gu Li smiled slightly, "Of course I am willing. My birthday is the 14th day of the seventh month in the second year of Chang'an."

After Wang the matchmaker wrote it down, she stood up, bowed to Gu Ke and Chang An, and said, "Now that I have learned your birthdays, I will go and ask for your divination. I will take my leave now."

After getting Gu Ke's consent, she left. At this time, there was no one between Chang An and Gu Li to block their vision. Somehow, the two of them met each other's eyes, but they left each other's sight after a moment.

In order to avoid any embarrassing scene of being laughed at, Chang An stood up and bowed to Gu Ke. Huaiqin also ordered the servants outside the door to bring in two boxes, and she also helped to bring in the cage containing the wild geese and put it in front of Gu Ke. This was a gift, and she finally mentioned it in Chang An's ear.

"Now that today's work is done, I must go back and inform my father so that he can prepare the supplies for the surrender. I am sorry to bother you any further. I will take my leave now."

"Are you leaving now? Why not stay and have lunch together?" Gu Ke wanted to persuade Chang An to stay, but seeing that Chang An was determined to leave, he had to agree.

Chang An turned around and left with Huai Qin, but before leaving, he looked back at Gu Li for some unknown reason, and happened to see Gu Li looking at him, and the two looked at each other again. Chang An nodded slightly, and then left neatly, but before leaving, he heard a slight cough, which seemed to be from Gu Li, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

When they arrived at the gate of Gu Mansion, the carriage and servants were still waiting. After the two got on the carriage, they drove towards their home.

In the carriage, the two began to ask me questions.

"Sir, that Madam Gu is so beautiful."

"Hmm..." Chang An nodded slightly, "What's wrong?"

"Could it be that the young master sent someone to check out Madam Gu's appearance in advance? Otherwise, why would he be willing to come here today?"

"What are you imagining? I haven't asked anyone to look for Madam Gu."

Chang An indeed did not ask anyone to investigate Gu Li, because he had just traveled through time today.

"Then why did you come today, young master?"

"I have to go because of my father's order."

"This is not like you, sir."

Huaiqin said.

"Young Master is acting strange today. He got up earlier than me, ate steamed buns, and even agreed to the marriage with the Gu family. He complained to me yesterday that he didn't want to go to the Gu family..."

"It's going to get even weirder later."

Chang An reached out and tapped Huaiqin lightly, and Huaiqin stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

They said nothing along the way and let the servants drive the carriage.
