My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Today, as usual, Chang An was going to go to the Imperial Academy to study. Before getting on the carriage, Chang An Tai suddenly asked, "Today is the seventh day of the first lunar month, right?"

"Yes, what's wrong? Chang Lang." Gu Li nodded and replied.

"The seventh day is Human Day, and ladies are supposed to wear human ornaments, right?" Chang An asked again.

"Yeah." Gu Li nodded again.

"Then wait until I come back today, and I will make a human statue for Gu Niang with my own hands." Chang An touched the top of her head.

"Okay! I'll ask someone to buy some colored paper and wait for you!" Gu Li smiled and said sweetly to Chang An.

"Then I'm leaving. Just wait for me at home." Chang An left his last words and got into the carriage.

The carriage started moving, heading to the other end of the street. Gu Li stood at the door and watched Chang An's carriage go away. She turned back to the mansion only after she could no longer see the shadow of the carriage.

Back in the room, she took out the unfinished jade pendant as usual. Some areas had been carved out on it, and the general shape could be seen. She took out a pebble of the right size from her tool box and prepared to polish it.

At this time Zhen'er came in with medicine. Gu Li put down the jade pendant and pebbles in his hand before he started the work at hand.

While drinking the medicine, Zhen'er suddenly said, "Sanniang, aren't you going to write back to Mr. Fang?"

Gu Li was drinking medicine at the moment and couldn't speak, but she frowned slightly to express her doubt.

Seeing that Gu Li didn't seem to know anything, Zhen'er said, "Sanniang, have you forgotten? Every time Mr. Fang wrote to you, you would reply."

Gu Li swallowed the medicine in his mouth and asked doubtfully: "But can't I just not reply to the letter?"

"But it's better to reply one letter for the time being this year," Zhen'er said, "After all, I need to explain to Sanniang that you're married first, otherwise when Mr. Fang comes to visit, wouldn't it be a bit troublesome to explain?"

Gu Li took another sip of the medicine and thought about it for a while. He seemed to have thought of something and asked with a frown, "Zhen'er, the trouble you are talking about is that A Yi will make things difficult for Chang Lang?"

Zhen'er nodded and said, "Even if it's because of your respect, Sanniang, Mr. Fang might embarrass you in private."

Gu Li nodded, drank the rest of the medicine in the bowl in one gulp, then handed the bowl to Zhen'er and said, "Put the bowl away, and ask a messenger to come later. I'll write a letter later."

"Yes, Sanniang." Zhen'er replied and left.

Gu Li came to Chang An's desk, took some paper and ink, and after some consideration, he began to write...

Chang An, relying on his title of "excellent student" in the Imperial College, began to slack off under the nose of Zhou Xuezheng. Relying on the original owner's extremely flexible mind, he thought back and forth about the appearance of the human win in his mind. He also vaguely remembered that the human win seemed to be made according to the appearance of the woman who wore it, and he was very familiar with Gu Li's appearance.

After carefully recalling Gu Li's hairstyle and outfit today, he quickly formed a preliminary idea of ​​Ren Sheng's appearance in his mind.

Huaiqin, who was sitting next to him, saw that Chang'an was so absorbed in his thoughts that she did not bother him too much. It was not until he came back to his senses that she asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about, young master?"

"The one who wants to do it for Gu Niang wins." Chang An put his hand under his nose, covering his mouth, and said in a low voice.

"Oh." Huaiqin nodded slightly, "Young Master, do you know how to win as a human being?"

"Underestimating your young master?" Chang An glanced at her.

"Huaiqin dare not..."

The bell outside the classroom rang, and Zhou Xuezheng stopped his lecture on time and said, "Students, school is over."

Chang An also stretched slightly at this time, then packed up and left the Imperial College. The carriage returned to the gate of Chang's house. When he got off the carriage, he saw a messenger standing at the door. He looked inside the house in confusion, and Gu Li just came out with a letter in his hand.

"Oh! Chang Lang is back!" Gu Li was still so excited when she saw Chang Lang coming home. She lifted her skirt and ran to him quickly.

"You're so impatient. What if you fall down?" Chang An supported him and said lovingly.

"No!" Gu Li's eyes were like the moon.

Chang An pinched Gu Li's cheek and asked, "Are you going to send a letter, Madam Gu?"

At this time, Gu Li remembered that she was holding an envelope in her hand. She handed the envelope directly to Chang An and said, "Chang Lang, take a look."

"Show it to me?" Chang An raised his eyebrows and asked with amusement, "Why should I read Gu Niang's letter?"

"Because this is a letter I wrote to another man, and Chang Lang is my husband, so of course he needs to know the letter I wrote to another man." Gu Li said as if it was a matter of course.

"You don't have to show it to me. The letter you wrote is your own secret. I won't read it actively, but Mother Gu can tell me." Chang An said with a smile.

Gu Li tilted his head and thought for a while, as if he had thought it through, and then he handed the letter in his hand to the messenger standing beside him. Then he took out a silver ingot from his purse, put it in the messenger's hand, and sent him away.

Then, Gu Li took Chang An's hand and walked into the mansion.

"Chang Lang, that letter was written by me to Mr. Fang in Yangzhou." Gu Li said as he walked, "It talked about some recent events and my marriage to Chang Lang."

"Then what?" Chang An asked cooperatively.

"Then, if he wants to come to Chang'an to look for me, I will ask him to come to our Chang Mansion and introduce him to you, Chang Lang."

"Well..." Chang An nodded and walked into his and Gu Li's room. "But why did Gu Niang tell me this?"

"Because I think Chang Lang needs to know." Gu Li said as he watched him throw the book box next to the desk.

"Why do you think it's necessary? Gu Niang can keep this as a little secret and not tell me." Chang An and Gu Li sat down at the low table and asked again.

"That's because... Chang Lang told me before that I would find another man." Gu Li said, seeming a little aggrieved, and her little mouth pouted again.

Before? When?

Chang An thought about it carefully in his mind. It seemed that this incident happened on the second day after Gu Li's fever subsided. He made a joke to her after returning from school. Unexpectedly, this joke was remembered in Gu Li's mind, causing her to think that she might be embarrassed because of this kind of thing, which naturally led to the situation today.

After finishing his recollection, Chang An held Gu Li on his lap, gently scratched her face with the tip of his nose, and said lovingly: "Okay, okay, Chang Lang's precious Gu Niang, it was just a joke from me at that time, why did you take it so seriously?"

"Have you prepared all the materials for cutting the human figure today? We agreed this morning to make a human figure for Gu Niang."

"Oh, yes."

At this time, Gu Li broke free from Chang An's arms, took some colored paper and scissors from her dressing table, and put them on the coffee table.

Chang An also went to get a pen and ink, and took a piece of colored paper at random, and began to draw on the colored paper with pen and ink. Since he had spent half a morning thinking carefully when he was in the Imperial College, he had thought about the general pattern and production method.

So it didn't take Chang An much time to draw the pattern. Gu Li also leaned forward and looked at the little man on the colored paper: a vivid Q version of Gu Li.

"Is this me? I look so cute!" Gu Li whispered.

"Because Gu Niang is so cute in my eyes."

Chang An smiled and continued with the next step. He picked up the scissors and started cutting along the edge of the Q version of Gu Li. Then, he put his eyes slightly closer to the colored paper, and then operated the scissors with his right hand to hollow out the inside part.

Finally, Chang An cut out patterns on the clothes and hair of the Q version of Gu Li. When he put down the scissors, Huaiqin and Zhen'er came in with servants carrying food.

Gu Li also quickly cleaned up the coffee table and put the remaining colored paper and scissors back on the dressing table. He also wrapped the scraps of paper in a piece of paper and placed them casually on the ground.

While the servants were still setting the table, Chang An came to Gu Li's dressing table, found a nice hairpin, and hung the cut-out "Q version of Gu Li" on the hairpin.

Then he came behind Gu Li, stretched out his hand and gently took out the hairpin that was originally inserted into Gu Li, which startled her and she cried out softly:

"Oh!"

Chang An casually tied the hairpin he had just taken off on the top of his head, and then inserted the hairpin with the human victory on it into Gu Li's bun. It was in the same position as the hairpin just now. Gu Li reached out and gently touched the newly replaced hairpin.

As if she was not satisfied after touching it, she stood up again and came to the dressing table. Looking at herself in the mirror, and then at the "Q version of Gu Li" hanging on the hairpin, she felt very fond of it.

"Don't look at me. My Gu Niang is already very beautiful." Chang An took off the hairpin on her head and put it back on Gu Li's dressing table. "Let's go eat. We'll go for a walk on the street later and show off then."

"it is good!"

Gu Li happily left the dressing table and ran to the low table. She almost jumped over this short distance, and the hairpin on her hairpin swayed back and forth, looking very cute.

"Chang Lang, come and have dinner!" Seeing that Chang An didn't move, Gu Li called out sweetly, "Take me out shopping later."

"Okay, here we come."

Chang An walked to the low table with a smile and sat next to Gu Li.

"Remember to eat well, because you don't know how long you'll be out shopping."

"it is good!"
