My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"He...he didn't bully me."

When Xue Jing heard the word "bully", she stood out a little and said, "Wei Hao is very good to me."

This reaction aroused some thoughts in Chang An. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Of course I know. I know what kind of person Brother Qingming is. Even if he has a hundred courages, he won't dare to bully you!"

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Li who was still behind him. The other party was also smiling, as if he remembered something.

Li Weihao and Xue Jing were also looking at the two people's riddle in confusion. At this time, Gu Li picked up the golden fan and said, "Okay, okay, it's time to go buy something."

"You will only marry one person in this lifetime. If you go early, you will have more time to choose. If there is anything you don't know, Mr. Li can ask my Chang Lang. He knows a lot."

As he said this, Gu Li started laughing.

Li Weihao nodded, and they went out together.

The four of them rode in Chang'an's carriage. Gu Li and Chang'an were playing with the children all the way, while Li Weihao and Xue Jing seemed much quieter. Halfway through the journey, Chang'an lifted the curtain and said:

"Go to the jewelry store opposite the clinic and order a set of jewelry for the new bride first."

Li Weihao was puzzled for a moment and asked, "Aren't there many jewelry stores in West Market? Why do you want to go to the one opposite the clinic?"

Chang An smiled and replied, "Nowadays, it is a trend for women in the Tang Dynasty to wear diamond jewelry when they get married. If you want to give Madam Xue a grand wedding, it is naturally necessary."

"But will it be very expensive?" Xue Jing asked worriedly.

When Chang An heard this question, he held his chin up and thought for a while, then answered: "If you go to buy it, it should cost about ten or twenty taels of silver. If Gu Niang and I go to buy it, it will be much cheaper."

"Why?" Li Weihao and Xue Jing were both confused and asked.

"The first person to wear diamond jewelry when she got married was my mother, Gu." Chang An said, "I took the first set of diamond jewelry to that shop to make it custom-made, and I happened to leave the drawings and materials with them."

"After I was conferred the title of noble, this set of jewelry was naturally treated as a commodity by them, with my name and that of Gu Niang on it."

Li Weihao suddenly realized: "In other words, they are using Brother Yonghe's name and reputation to sell them in the store?"

Chang An nodded, and Li Weihao asked again: "But don't some of Brother Yonghe's previous things have any impact?"

"Yes, but not much."

While they were chatting, the driver said, "My Lord, Madam, we have arrived."

"Then get out of the car!"

All four of them got out of the car. The shopkeeper, who was introducing the diamond hairpins to a few gentlemen at the door, walked up to him enthusiastically as soon as he noticed Chang'an.

"Greetings to Duke Kang and Madam Kang. What kind of jewelry would you like to buy today? I can recommend them to you."

Chang An waved his hand, pointed at Li Weihao and Xue Jing beside him, and said, "Today, I brought my friends here to buy jewelry."

"No problem," the shopkeeper nodded, and then asked, "What kind of jewelry do you want?"

"Shopkeeper, don't play dumb. This man is the Secretary of Taichang Temple. Do you need to ask for things for your wedding?" Chang An said with a smile.

The shopkeeper immediately understood, and then said, "I understand. Please follow me."

Then, the shopkeeper took Li Weihao to the place where the diamond jewelry was displayed and said, "Sir, these are the most famous diamond jewelry in our shop. Many grooms will buy Najib's jewelry from me."

As he said that, he picked up a diamond hairpin. Chang An couldn't help but nod when he saw it - he didn't expect that they knew how to improve and develop new jewelry.

Xue Jing saw this shiny and beautiful hairpin and asked, "Is this expensive?"

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "This jewelry is only one or two taels of silver. The materials are not expensive. They are just worthless diamonds and platinum. And the gentlemen who come here to buy diamond jewelry don't come here just for the low price."

"More importantly, it's to bring good luck. Platinum represents purity, while diamonds represent love that is stronger than gold. And the first person to develop this kind of jewelry was this Duke Kangguo."

"The story of Duke Kang and his wife is well known throughout Chang'an. After all, who wouldn't want a husband like Duke Kang and a wife like the Lady of the County?"

Xue Jing looked at Chang An and Gu Li, who were playing with their children beside the carriage, with some surprise, and Li Weihao asked, "How much silver would it cost if I wanted a complete set of this jewelry?"

"The total is 25 taels for a set, but since you are a friend of Duke Kangguo and were brought here by Duke Kangguo himself, I will give you half off, how about 12 taels?"

Xue Jing was even more surprised. Chang An was so arrogant.

"Wait a minute!"

At this time, another man's voice came over. Li Weihao and Chang An were a little confused, but this voice sounded familiar - Wang Wei.

Wang Wei came over with Cui Yu and Wang Youpeng, then took out some silver from his pocket and put it in the shopkeeper's hand, saying, "I'll buy this set. Please give it to Li Sicheng as a gift."

"Wang Sicheng."

Wang Wei did not encounter the problem of Wu Huangshi now. Queen Wang, for the sake of Chang An, promoted Wang Wei to the position of Taichang Temple Secretary, the same as Li Weihao.

"You can't do that. You absolutely can't do that."

Wang Wei immediately stuffed the box into Li Weihao's hand and said with a smile: "When I got married, I didn't buy this set of jewelry for my wife, but you can't miss this."

"No, no, sir, you can't do that. It's very expensive." Xue Jing also helped Li Weihao and wanted to refuse.

Wang Wei smiled and said, "It's okay. Just consider this as my contribution. Don't forget my contribution when you send me the invitation. If Brother Qingming doesn't accept it, it means he is not giving face to me as a friend."

"This..." Li Weihao reluctantly accepted it, and then said: "Then Brother Mojie should drink more wedding wine, don't lose out."

"That's natural!"

Then Wang Wei looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Can you give me a set of diamond jewelry? Although it's not for marriage, it's for my wife. Is that okay?"

"No problem, no problem."

Wang Wei said, and took out another sum of silver and put it in the shopkeeper's hand. Cui Yu was about to say something, but Wang Wei stopped her and said, "If other women have it, you can't be short of it!"

Cui Yu pinched him and said coquettishly, "You are only learning useless things."

"When will you learn to work harder like Mr. Chang? He already has three children."

Wang Wei fell silent immediately, scratched his head in embarrassment, and then changed the subject: "Brother Yonghe, what are you planning to do?"

"Help Brother Qingming prepare for his marriage."

Chang An then explained today's arrangements. Wang Wei nodded and said, "In that case, I know a cloth shop that makes beautiful wedding dresses. I ordered my wedding dress there before."

Gu Li suddenly remembered and said, "Is it at Li's Cloth Shop?"

Wang Wei nodded, and Gu Li continued, "I know where it is. The clothes and fabrics there are all top quality, but the shop is on the other side of the East Market."

"We can go later." Wang Wei said.

After the shopkeeper brought Wang Wei's jewelry, they were ready to continue walking. At this time, Gu Li saw the clinic opposite. Chang An followed her gaze and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"

"No, I just remembered the time when I came to see the doctor once a month." Gu Li shook his head and said.

At this time, Doctor Zhang came out with a cane, and when he saw Chang An and Gu Li, he nodded slightly. The couple also returned the greeting and then continued to walk forward.

He strolled around the West Market and bought whatever he wanted. If he needed something custom-made, Li Weihao would leave his address and have it delivered to his door.

Xue Jing, however, widened her eyes at the discounts again and again - because every store that Chang An and Gu Li took them to was willing to give him a big discount.

She blinked her big eyes curiously, and then asked, "Weihao, why are things so cheap today?"

Li Weihao was also puzzled, after all, the jewelry store was because Chang An brought them direct profits. But the shops specializing in sedan chairs and some shops that decorated wedding rooms also gave Chang An a 50% discount.

At this time, he walked over and asked, "Brother Yonghe, what's going on?"

"What's going on?"

"These shops, do they have any relationship with you, Brother Yonghe? Why are these things half price today? You seem to be very familiar with them." Li Weihao asked.

"Because when I married Gu Niang, I came here one by one to customize it personally. This is how we met. And when Quan Chubi came to Beijing, some well-known things happened here. They must have done this for the sake of their face at that time." Chang An explained.

Li Weihao nodded in understanding and said, "Doesn't that mean that all the shops in the West Market are..."

"good."
