My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chang An was pulled back to the room by Gu Li. When they reached the door, Gu Li stood alone between him and the door, as if he was afraid that he would be the first to enter and see the lanterns he had prepared.

After Gu Li opened the door, he entered the room, then turned around, stretched out his hand and stood between himself and Chang An, saying, "Chang Lang can't come in now."

After saying that, Gu Li closed the door again. Chang An raised his eyebrows and felt a little amused. But before he could wait long, Gu Li shouted from the other end of the door:

"Chang Lang! Are you still at the door?"

"exist."

"Then Chang Lang can come in now."

Chang An pushed open the door and was stunned when he saw the scene inside - Gu Li was standing opposite him, holding a lantern in his hand.

The lantern seemed a bit big, and when Gu Li held it, it almost covered half of her body. But at this moment, her face was full of joy, and she said excitedly:

"Chang Lang, this is the Lantern Festival gift I prepared for you!"

Chang An also laughed at this time and walked forward. He stretched out one hand to hold the lantern, and then put the other hand directly around Gu Li's waist, lowered his head and kissed her face hard. It seemed that he felt that this kiss was not enough, so he turned and rubbed her face hard.

"Chang...Lang, do you like this lantern?"

Gu Li's face was pressed hard by Chang An, and he spoke hesitantly.

"I like it. I like it very much. I like everything that Gu Niang gives me." Chang An kept rubbing Gu Li's face. The soft and extremely comfortable skin texture seemed to be endless.

"Hmm...hmm..." Gu Li's face was rubbed by Chang An, and seeing that Chang An liked his gift so much, he hummed twice with satisfaction.

After a while, Chang An left Gu Li's face reluctantly. Then he closed the door, threw the bookcase on his back to the desk, and then pulled Gu Li to sit next to the low table.

"Is it this lantern that Mrs. Gu refused to talk about yesterday?" Chang An held the lantern lovingly in his arms, while his other hand also hugged Gu Li beside him.

"Yes," Gu Li leaned on Chang An's arms and said, "If I had told Chang Lang yesterday, it would have been meaningless, wouldn't it?"

"Mother Gu knows how to create surprises now?" Chang An put the lantern on the low table, then hugged Gu Li and let her sit in his arms.

"Chang Lang is so good to me. If I don't treat Chang Lang better, what if he doesn't want me anymore one day?" Gu Li snuggled into Chang An's arms again and said so.

Chang An leaned down slightly, covering Gu Li in his shadow, and said, "Are you starting to mock your Chang Lang now?"

"No......"

Chang An stretched out his finger and waved it in front of Gu Li's eyes, and then teased Gu Li: "Based on Gu Niang's performance yesterday, if Gu Niang was arrested and tortured one day, she would definitely not tell anyone about me."

"With Chang Lang protecting me, I won't be caught," Gu Li grabbed Chang An's fingers and said as if to flatter him, "Even if I am caught, Chang Lang will come to save me before they even start bullying me!"

"Are you trying to flatter Chang Lang?" Chang An smiled and moved his captured fingers again.

"Uh...yes!"

"This flattery is very pleasant to hear, so I will reward my mother Gu - I will ride a horse to take her out shopping this afternoon!" Chang An said with a smile.

"Okay!" Gu Li didn't care where Chang An planned to take her, she just nodded and agreed.

After lunch, Gu Li drank the medicine while Chang An prepared Gu Li to put on his coat before going out.

After Gu Li finished drinking the medicine, Chang An put the cloak on Gu Li's shoulders and took her out of the room. When they arrived at the stable, their horse had already been saddled and was being led outside by the servants.

Chang An jumped onto the horse directly, then bent down, carried Gu Li to sit in front of him, and then drove the horse out of Chang's mansion.

"There is no curfew anymore, so we can go out and enjoy the lanterns." Chang An rode his horse down the street and asked, "Does Gu Niang want to enjoy the lanterns?"

"I want to!" Gu Li placed his two small hands on Chang An's big hands.

"How about we go to the main street now and then go to East Market?" Chang An asked again.

"Why does Chang Lang keep asking me? Just let Chang Lang decide." Gu Li patted Chang An's hand and asked back.

"Because Gu Niang is my most beloved daughter-in-law, I have to listen to her. The decision whether Gu Niang goes out to play must be made by her." Chang An said.

"Then let's go." said Gu Li.

Chang An smiled, pulled the reins and walked out of Anrenfang. When he arrived at the street, Zhuque Street had already begun to be decorated, and ropes were hung on the eaves around, which seemed to be used to hang lanterns.

A little lower, there were also several rows of ropes, but these ropes were used to hang lantern riddles. Along these ropes, there were several tables, and there was a person sitting next to each table, who seemed to be reviewing the riddles.

Along the way, we saw many lanterns, but no riddles were hung up.

There were many guys working on the road, and Chang An even had to pull the reins several times, otherwise he would hit someone. At this time, Chang An pulled the reins again, and in addition to hearing the neighing of the horse, he also heard the sigh of an old man next to him.

Chang An did not move forward, but looked at the old man beside him. The old man was sitting at the desk and seemed to be the person in charge of reviewing the riddles.

At this time, the old man suddenly raised his head and happened to meet Chang An's eyes. After seeing Chang An, the old man raised his hand and saluted him, and tentatively greeted: "Are you Chang An Changlangjun?"

"That's right." Chang An was a little confused, but still answered politely, "Old man, do you recognize me?"

"I don't recognize him, but I had the honor of meeting him last year when we climbed the mountain." The old man said, "I also heard Mr. Chang's song "Climbing the Mountain". I have to admire his talent."

"Thank you for the compliment, sir. I don't even know your name," Chang An asked.

"My surname is Zhang, and my given name is Ruoxu."

Chang An's heart skipped a beat at this moment, and he quickly dismounted, not forgetting to carry Gu Li off the horse as well. Then Chang An raised his hands, bowed slightly, and saluted to Zhang Ruoxu:

"It turns out to be Mr. Zhang. I am so sorry for the disrespect."

Gu Li also remembered the poem "Spring River Moon Night" and followed Chang An to salute Zhang Ruoxu.

"Ouch, ouch, Mr. Chang, you can't do that." Zhang Ruoxu hurriedly stepped forward and helped the couple up.

"Mr. Zhang, are you Mr. Zhang Ruoxu, one of the 'Four Masters of Wuzhong'?" Chang An asked excitedly at this time.

"The fame I had when I was young is not worth mentioning." Zhang Ruoxu said, waving his hand.

"I once had the honor of reading Mr. Zhang's poem 'Spring River Moon Night', and I was deeply impressed by it," said Chang An.

"Mr. Chang has read my poems!" Zhang Ruoxu was a little surprised at this time. His poems were very unpopular at that time and almost no one sang them.

"That's natural. The spring river tide reaches the sea level, and the bright moon on the sea rises with the tide." Chang An said excitedly, "But this one?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Ruoxu was also excited at this time. He didn't expect that someone would recite his poems. At this time, his eyes were a little moist, "I really didn't expect that someone would read my poems."

"Mr. Zhang, don't get excited. Your poem has already started to spread!" Chang An said with a smile, "A few days ago, the number one song in the Xinluan Restaurant in Pingkangfang was named "Spring River Moon Night"."

"Not only that, Mr. Zhang, your poems have also been hung on the poetry archway of Xinluan Restaurant."

Zhang Ruoxu said happily: "Okay..."

But then, he looked puzzled: "But my poems are not sung by many people, so how did they end up in the Xinluan Restaurant?"

"My son Changlang heard a pipa piece that day and thought it was pleasant, so he wanted to name it." Gu Li also interrupted and said, "In the end, my son Changlang borrowed your "Spring River Moon Night" from Mr. Zhang to name the piece."

"The entire poem, along with Mr. Zhang's name, was hung on the Poetry Archway. I heard it was ranked first."

"Thank you very much, Mr. Chang." After hearing this, Zhang Ruoxu hurriedly bowed and was about to salute Chang An.

Chang An hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhang Ruoxu up and said, "No, no, in my humble opinion, with just the poem "Spring River Moonlit Night", Mr. Zhang can surpass the entire Tang Dynasty."

"That's too kind." Zhang Ruoxu waved his hand and said.

Chang An also saw the desk behind Zhang Ruoxu at this time and asked, "Is Mr. Zhang examining the riddles?"

"That's right. This is a sinecure that can help me make a living," said Zhang Ruoxu.

"Then can I give it a try?"

"It's impossible."

As he spoke, Zhang Ruoxu turned sideways and stretched out his hand to the desk. At this time, Chang An came to the desk, picked up the brush, thought for a while, and then wrote directly:

"I was praised for a word, but was separated from you because of your love. After sending my lover away, I stood alone by the door and cried."

After finishing writing, Chang An nodded with satisfaction - this was a lantern riddle for finding a husband more than a thousand years in the future, and at that time only one person could solve the riddle, but it would be hard to say if it were solved now.

Zhang Ruoxu and Gu Li both came forward to look at the riddle. Zhang Ruoxu twisted his beard, seeming to be still thinking. On the contrary, Gu Li pulled Chang An's clothes and asked in a low voice: "Chang Lang, is the answer to this riddle an umbrella?"

Chang An raised his eyebrows and nodded in surprise. Zhang Ruoxu was a little confused and couldn't guess, so he asked, "Mr. Chang, what is this poem about?"

Chang An smiled and told him the answer.

"There is no mention of rain or umbrellas in the poem, but after knowing the answer, I find it really wonderful." Zhang Ruoxu exclaimed.

"I wonder if this riddle can be solved with a fancy rope?" Chang An asked.

"Yes! Of course I can!"
