My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chang An had just returned home from school that day when he was called to Chang Wenmeng's study.

"You have been running back and forth in the Gu Mansion recently. What progress have you made?" Chang Wenmeng asked.

"I informed the Gu family of a good date yesterday, and they had no objection." Chang An replied, "I asked Huaiqin to ask a fortune teller to predict a good date, which happens to be the next day when the Imperial Academy is closed for public holidays."

"That's great." Chang Wenmeng nodded and said, "Since I told you the other day to personally supervise all matters related to the wedding, then you must supervise it to the end."

"Yes." Chang An didn't know what Chang Wenmeng meant, so he could only agree first.

"On the wedding day, you have to personally take care of the guests to be invited, the chalet to be bought, and the sedan chair for Gu Sanniang to ride in." Chang Wenmeng said, "If the money is not enough, I will give it to you as long as you ask for it."

When Chang An heard this, he started to think about it in his mind. He never expected that his father would attach so much importance to this marriage.

After talking to his father about the wedding in the study, Chang An left Chang Wenmeng's study and returned to his own room.

"Young Master, you're back." Huaiqin was reading a book in Chang'an's study. When she saw Chang'an coming back, she stood up and called out.

Chang An nodded slightly at her in response, and then sat down directly next to his own coffee table. Huaiqin also followed him from the desk, sat opposite Chang An, and poured him a cup of tea.

"Huaiqin, what do you think of the sedan chairs at that time? Should we buy one with four or eight bearers?" Chang An held up his chin and asked seriously, "Is there any difference between a sedan chair with four bearers and one with eight bearers?"

"Of course, a sedan chair with eight bearers is more formal than a sedan chair with four bearers. A sedan chair with eight bearers means that Madam Gu was married in a formal ceremony and will be the principal wife in the future." Huaiqin explained, "If the young master wants to take a concubine in the future, he can't use a sedan chair with eight bearers."

Chang An nodded as if he understood, "Then we'll order a sedan chair with eight bearers."

Huaiqin nodded, silently noted it down, and then asked: "What about the elders and relatives who will be invited at that time?"

"That's easy. The elders in my family, my father's friends, and Brother Du's parents, I'll write the invitations and you can just send someone to deliver them."

"Then I will go to the wedding procession, and Brother Du and Brother Cui will also go with me."

"You are so thoughtful, sir."

Chang An thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and said, "Go arrange a carriage, and let's go to the West Market."

Gu Mansion——

In addition to Chang An who was busy preparing for the wedding, Gu Li was also arranging various matters for the wedding day.

Gu Li sat in front of her dressing table, looking at the jewelry in front of her - these jewelry were the headdress and earrings she would wear on her wedding day, plus hairpins and some other facial makeup, which almost took up the entire table. Seeing this, Gu Li frowned, turned around and asked Zhen'er behind him:

"Zhen'er, why did you buy so many jewels? Didn't we agree to leave early?"

Zhen Er said with some embarrassment: "These were all bought by A Lang, saying that he wanted San Niang to go there in style."

Gu Li looked at the jewelry in front of him again, and said helplessly: "Then on the day of the wedding, we should get up early and not let the man wait for a long time."

"Yes, Sanniang."

As she spoke, Gu Li opened the rouges again, looked at the first one, frowned, and looked at the second one. After she finished looking at all the rouges, she sighed, stood up, and ordered: "Zhen'er, go prepare the carriage."

"Are you going out, Sanniang?"

"These rouges are too dark in color. If I wear a veil, it will easily ruin my makeup. I plan to go to the West Market and buy some lighter ones myself."

"Okay, Sanniang."

Zhen'er went out and called a servant, who came back after giving him a simple instruction. Gu Li had also arranged his clothes. Zhen'er also took a cloak from the closet and went out with Gu Li on her arm.

When they arrived at the West Market, Gu Li asked his servant to drive directly to the rouge shop.

"Madam Gu is here." The maid of the rouge shop saw Gu Li and came forward enthusiastically, "Madam Gu wants to buy that kind of rouge."

"I'm getting married in a few days. The colors my father bought are a bit dark, so I want to buy some lighter colors. Do you have a suitable rouge?" Gu Li asked.

"It's suitable for marriage, and it should be plain..." The maid thought for a moment and said, "Yes, please follow me."

The maid took Gu Li to a shelf and said, "These are newly imported from the Western Regions. The colors are all light crimson or slightly red."

Then she pointed to the lip balm shelf nearby and said, "These are the lip balms that were purchased together with the rouge. There are not only red ones, but also green and jade white ones that are more elegant. They are just right for women like Madam Gu who like plain clothes."

Gu Li looked at the rouge and lipstick and felt very satisfied, so he asked, "Can I try it?"

After getting the maid's consent, Gu Li picked up a green lip balm and applied it on his lips. The maid next to him was also very considerate and brought a mirror forward for Gu Li to look at.

Gu Li also looked at himself in the mirror and felt quite satisfied, so he asked, "How much are these rouge and lipsticks? Is there a price tag?"

"Of course we do." The maid said, and began to introduce the prices one by one.

After hearing this, Gu Li nodded and said, "Then give me two of each of these lip balms and rouge."

"Yes."

As the maid started to pack rouge and lip balm, she handed them to Zhen'er, and then followed Gu Li to choose flower ornaments and skin care products. After all the selections were completed, Gu Li and Zhen'er paid the silver and planned to go to the cloth shop to ask about the wedding dress and veil.

But as soon as he arrived at the door of the cloth shop, Gu Li heard a familiar voice coming from the cloth shop:

"Are these colors too bright? Are there any lighter colors? I'm afraid the bride won't like them and I'll have to trouble her to make another trip."

Gu Li had a vague idea of ​​the name in his mind, but in order to verify his idea, he tentatively looked into the cloth shop, and sure enough, he saw the tall and familiar figure.

"Okay, sir, please wait a moment. I will get it for you."

While Chang An was waiting there, he heard a cough coming from the door. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the door: Gu Li was standing there with a white hand covering his mouth.

Gu Li, who was standing at the door, didn't want to do it. She just stood at the door, and suddenly a breeze blew, causing her chest to itch slightly, and she couldn't help coughing. This was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that when she wanted to look up to see if Chang An had noticed, Chang An was already looking at her. Seeing this, her face turned red.

"Since you are here, Madam Gu, why don't you come in?" Chang An showed a gentle smile and said, "It is often cold outside. It would be bad if you get cold."

After hearing what Chang An said, she felt embarrassed to stand at the door any longer, so she let Zhen'er take her arm into the cloth shop and stand next to Chang An.

Although they were a couple of newlyweds, they were speechless when they stood together.

"Um..." Gu Li was the first to speak and break the silence, "Mr. Chang came to the cloth shop to order red clothes?"

"No, I ordered my red dress some time ago." Chang An replied, "I came here to buy some cloth to take back. Then...when you come over, I will make clothes for you."

As he was talking, Chang An started scratching his head again. Huaiqin, who was standing behind him, saw her son scratching his head and knew that he was starting to feel embarrassed again. She couldn't help but laugh to herself: It turns out that her son can also feel embarrassed.

When Gu Li heard these words, her face turned even redder.

"I...I will bring some of my own clothes when I go there...I can buy them myself then." Gu Li said a little embarrassedly.

"This... This is just in case." Chang An laughed dryly and said, "I have never been married, so I don't know much about these things."

Just as the two were in a stalemate, the waiter from the store came over with two pieces of cloth in lighter colors.

"Sir, please take a look at the fabric you requested and see if it's suitable."

When Chang An saw someone coming out to warm up the crowd, he quickly took the cloth, looked at the color, and twisted the base of the cloth, "The workmanship is good, and the base material feels good too..."

He suddenly thought of Gu Li who was standing beside him, so he asked her, "Mrs. Gu, take a look, do you like this fabric?"

Gu Li glanced at Chang An, reached out his hand and touched the cloth, then nodded and said, "Of course it's good."

"Then this color..."

"I also like this light color. I wonder how Mr. Chang heard that I like this color?" Gu Li asked.

"I guessed," Chang An put away the cloth and handed it to Huaiqin behind him, saying, "I usually see Madam Gu's makeup and clothes are almost all of this light color, so I dare to think that Madam Gu likes this type."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Chang first." Gu Li smiled and bowed to Chang An.

Chang An also bowed in return, and then asked: "Madam Gu, you must be here to buy cloth or clothes, right?"

"No, I came to ask about my wedding dress and veil, to ask how they are going." Gu Li said, then turned to the waiter beside him to ask about the wedding dress.

The waiter replied, "Looking back at what you said, your wedding dress and veil are already ready, and we are just waiting for you to inspect them."

"Then bring it over and have a look."

The waiter responded and went to the backyard, and soon came out with an embroiderer, who was holding a wedding dress in her hands. Gu Li took the wedding dress, unfolded it, and showed it to himself and Chang An: This wedding dress is covered with a ruffled half-sleeve, with large and wide sleeves, blue material, and the leather belt and shoes are the same color as the dress.

"Take a look, Mr. Chang, how do you feel?"

Chang An looked at the wedding dress and couldn't help but blurt out: "A cloud of silk, a jade shuttle, a thin silk... It's really nice."

Gu Li heard Chang An reciting the poem, and naturally understood that Chang An was praising her beautiful clothes. At this time, she was naturally a little shy and whispered: "That's good..."

The waiter saw two people standing here, and their faces were slightly red, with a faint sense of ambiguity. And Mr. Chang just said that he wanted to buy cloth for the new bride, and here Mrs. Gu came to buy wedding clothes...

Chang An saw that the waiter was still here, and hurriedly said, "Doctor, settle... settle the bill."

"Doctor... let's settle the bill too."
