Chapter 196: Dragon Boat Festival
Chapter 196: Dragon Boat Festival
"My mother Gu is always thoughtful." Chang An smiled and pinched Gu Li's face and said.
Gu Li also playfully stood on tiptoe, kissed Chang An on the mouth, blinked his eyes, and said, "I am molesting you! I am molesting Chang Lang!"
Chang An picked her up and said, "How dare you, little devil, seduce me, Lord?"
While Chang An was holding her up, Gu Li kissed him on the mouth again, and then said in a very arrogant manner: "I did molest you, so what?"
"Then I want to molest you too. You can't let me take advantage of you for nothing." Chang An simply hugged her and sat on the bed, then gave her a big kiss on the face.
"It's not fair!" Gu Li pouted in grievance, "I only gave two small kisses, and Chang Lang gave a big kiss. This is not fair!"
When Chang An heard this, he leaned forward and said, "Then Madam Gu, can you give me a few more strokes to make up for it?"
"That's good enough..." Gu Li moved forward with satisfaction and then smacked Chang An's mouth twice more.
"We are going out to play tomorrow. How does Gu Niang plan to dress up?" Chang An asked at this time.
"I have thought about it all. Tomorrow I will wear the jade butterfly hairpin that Chang Lang gave me, and then put on the clothes that Chang Lang and I wore when we went out during the Shangsi Festival. I will dress up beautifully." Gu Li had already planned it out, so he said so.
Then she pointed to the clothes rack beside the bed and said, "I have put all the clothes on the hanger. You can change into them tomorrow. I have even prepared Chang Lang's clothes."
Chang An looked in the direction her finger was pointing - on the hanger were the two clothes bought before the Lantern Festival. In addition to Gu Li's skirt, there was also Chang An's robe with a lightning pattern on the cuffs.
"Okay, then we'll wear these two pieces tomorrow." After Chang An finished speaking, he touched Gu Li's hair again, which was almost dry, so he helped her lie down on the bed.
"It's time for Mrs. Gu to go to bed."
Chang An kissed Gu Li on the face, then moved down, slightly lifted the corner of Gu Li's clothes, and kissed her belly.
"Little cutie, you have to sleep well too, and don't bully your mother."
After doing all this, Chang An left the bed and blew out the candle. When she returned to the bed, someone came to her side and kissed her in the dark. Then she heard her say:
"Good night, Chang Lang."
"Good night, Madam Gu."
......
The next day, Chang An woke up and, as expected, slept in again, and Gu Li did not rush to wake him up. As usual, he washed and changed clothes first, then put on some light makeup and a flower hairpin in front of the dressing table, then returned to the bed, kissed Chang An gently on the face, and shouted:
"Chang Lang, wake up. We still have to go watch the dragon boat race later."
After Gu Li finished shouting, he called out twice softly, and then Chang An opened his eyes. Seeing that Chang An had woken up, Gu Li ran to the clothes rack and took the robe.
As soon as Chang An stood up, Gu Li came to him to change his clothes. After everything was ready, Zhen'er also brought the medicine in. After drinking the medicine, they came outside.
Huaiqin also said at this time: "Young Master, Sanniang, Wang Langjun and the others are already waiting at the door."
Whenever they wanted to go out for sightseeing, Wang Wei and Gao Shi would go directly to their home to wait for people. This seemed to have become a consensus.
Chang An nodded, and took Gu Li directly to the gate of the mansion. Wang Wei and his family were also waiting at the gate. Just like the last Shangsi Festival, Wang Wei and his family went in a carriage, while Gao Shi went on horseback.
"Brother Yonghe, Madam Gu." As soon as Wang Wei and Cui Yu saw them, they raised their hands and greeted them.
Chang An and Gu Li also returned the greetings one by one, and then asked: "Why are you here to pick someone up so early in the morning?"
"It's not early anymore. It's still a full twenty miles from the city to the Wei River," said Wang Wei.
Cui Yu also urged with a smile: "Brother Yonghe, Madam Gu, hurry up and get on the carriage, otherwise if you go too late, there will be no good seats."
"Okay, Brother Mojie, Madam Cui, please come in first." In the carriage in front of him was also sitting Uncle Qian, a servant of the Wang family. It seemed that Wang Wei was afraid that Madam Xu would be bored at home alone, so he asked Madam Xu to come out with him.
After Wang Wei and Cui Yu got on the carriage, Chang An helped Gu Li get on the carriage. Before getting on the carriage, he turned around and looked at the doorman. Seeing that his master had set his sights on him, the doorman stepped forward respectfully and asked:
"My Lord, is there anything I can tell you?"
Chang An nodded, and then instructed: "Go and inform Sister Qi and Sister Qi that I am taking Gu Niang to the Wei River to watch the dragon boat race today, and they don't need to come to teach weaving clothes today. At the same time, tell them that they don't need to work and rest today."
"Yes, Lord Marquis."
After the concierge agreed, he turned and went into the mansion to deal with the matters that Chang An had asked him to do. After watching the concierge leave, Chang An got on the carriage and sat in it.
Afterwards, Wang Wei gave an order and Uncle Qian rode away.
The carriage left Chang'an City not long after. At this time, Chang'an lifted the curtain of the window and looked outside. As expected, in the other direction of Gao Shi, two white figures were jumping in the woods not far away, which made Chang'an frown.
"It seems that I have to buy a horse for these two sisters next time..." he decided secretly in his heart.
Gu Li once again saw Chang An's somewhat silent and "speechless" look, so he asked: "Chang Lang, what's wrong? Didn't you get enough sleep?"
Chang An sighed, lowered the curtain, and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I just saw two big white birds. It felt a little strange."
Gu Li frowned his beautiful eyebrows. Why did this sound so familiar? Did he hear him say this before?
At this time, Wang Wei also chimed in, "Madam Gu, you also know that before Brother Yonghe married you, he had been studying at home all the time. He may not have seen some of the more exotic birds."
After Wang Wei finished speaking, he was stunned for a moment, because he didn't know why he wanted to join in, but the instinct engraved in his genes had already taken action before his brain.
After hearing this, Gu Li seemed to have suddenly realized something and nodded, saying, "That's right. Chang Lang was a bookworm and drunkard before. He never left the house."
Then, she seemed to realize that her behavior just now might have disturbed Chang An's desire to hunt for novelty, so she stroked his hand with heartache and said, "Chang Lang, go ahead and watch if you want. It's spring now, and there are many birds. If you see a bird you don't recognize, you can ask me."
“Although I may not know…”
At this time, Gao Shi, who was riding a horse outside the carriage, also said: "Indeed, there are quite a few birds outside now."
Chang An touched her head and said, "Forget it, it's boring."
Compared to the more reserved Wang Wei and Cui Yu, Chang An and Gu Li were more intimate, reaching out their hands to play with each other from time to time. Wang Wei couldn't help but be moved by this.
Originally, I thought that I really loved Cui Yu and was doting on her enough on weekdays. However, after seeing Chang An's situation with my own eyes today, I felt that my practice was still too shallow.
Twenty miles was only half an hour's journey, and they soon arrived at the Wei River. It was still early, but there were already many people. However, some of them were boatmen preparing for the dragon boat race.
Chang An and his companions moved forward a little, and began to be attracted by some shouting around them:
"Gentlemen, come and try to shoot the zongzi!"
"Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Festival, we sincerely invite all talented people to participate!"
"Is there any gentleman willing to meet a friend over a drink?"
"Gambling on the boat, gambling on the boat..."
"..."
......
Such places are not to be underestimated in terms of prosperity during the Tang Dynasty. During holidays, such places are always crowded. It can even be said that such places are small markets. In addition to poetry and wine parties for making friends, there are also some mobile vendors for buying and selling goods.
At this time, Chang An spotted a small vendor selling candied haws, and then shook Gu Li's hand, pointed at the vendor and asked, "Mother Gu, do you want to eat candied haws?"
Gu Li nodded hurriedly, looking at Chang An's two big eyes, which were full of "want to eat". So, Chang An pulled her to the stall.
"Sir, would you like to buy some candied haws?" The stall owner greeted warmly when he saw someone approaching.
"I want two!" Gu Li said directly, then raised two fingers and made a "two" gesture, then turned around and looked at Chang An and said sweetly: "I'll eat one, and Chang Lang will eat one."
"Okay!" The boss turned around and took two candied haws off the stick.
At this time, Chang An also took out a few copper coins from his purse, handed them to the vendor, and then took the candied haws directly. He then handed one to Gu Li and kept one for himself.
At this time, Wang Wei's voice also came over: "Doctor, how much is this candy man?"
Chang An and Gu Li turned around and looked at the source of the sound. At this time, in front of another stall selling candy figures, Wang Wei was holding Cui Yu's hand and asking about the price.
Soon, Wang Wei took out a copper coin from his pocket, paid the money, and handed the candy man to Cui Yu beside him. When he raised his head, Wang Wei's eyes met Chang An's, and then his cold temperament suddenly changed——
I felt a little embarrassed.
