My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 157 Chang An's Strange Ideas

As the carriage was passing through Pingkangfang, Eunuch Cheng suddenly said, "Mr. Jikang, I remember that you still have quite a few servants in your house, right?"

"Indeed."

"Now that you and your wife have been infected with cowpox, can it be transmitted to your family members?" asked Eunuch Cheng.

"Eunuch Cheng, after the cowpox is introduced into the body, there will only be some similar symptoms, but it will not affect others." Chang An said, "Just be careful not to let the wound come into contact with water."

Eunuch Cheng nodded. Since the smallpox had been introduced into the wound, if it came into contact with water, the smallpox would be washed away.

When they got back to the door, Eunuch Cheng got off the carriage, put the platform on the ground, and said, "Mr. Ji Kangbo, we have arrived at the mansion."

Chang An opened the curtain, got off the carriage, and helped Gu Li down. Then he smiled and said to Eunuch Cheng, "Eunuch Cheng, would you please honor me by coming into my humble abode for a cup of hot tea?"

"I am very grateful for the kindness of Lord Jikang and his wife, but I still need to return to report to the emperor, so I dare not stay any longer." Eunuch Cheng declined politely.

At this time, Gu Li took out a purse from his sleeve, put it in Eunuch Cheng's arms, and said, "In this case, you might as well take it and buy some tea to drink during your break."

You don't even need to weigh the money to know how much money is in the purse, but Eunuch Cheng remained calm and said politely, "In that case, I would like to thank Madam and Earl Ji Kang for their kindness. I will go back and report now."

"Take care, Eunuch Cheng."

After watching Cheng Gonggong leave, the couple returned home. At this time, Huaiqin and Zhener also heard the announcement from the concierge and hurried over.

"Master, Sanniang, you are back!"

Chang An smiled and said, "Well, I'm just a little tired. Can you help me get some food?"

"Yes, son."

After returning to the house, the couple changed back into their regular clothes, and Huaiqin and Zhener also brought some cakes into the house.

At this moment, they saw Chang An and Gu Li doing the same action - untying the scarf wrapped around their forearms, and the wound caused by the knife was exposed in front of their eyes.

"Young Master (Sanniang), you are injured!"

Huaiqin and Zhen'er were both a little nervous. They put down the plates of snacks in their hands and went out to get the medicine.

Chang An looked at the two of them and shouted, "What are you doing? We are fine."

"How can he be fine? There's a big cut on his hand. Could it be that the young master and Sanniang have caused the Holy Wrath..."

The more Huaiqin thought about it, the more frightened she became. She was almost about to burst into tears.

"What are you thinking? How dare we do that?" Chang An said with a smile, "Gu Niang and I are just doing an experiment."

"Experiment?" Huaiqin sniffed, looked at Zhen'er, and then asked, "What experiment?"

"It's an experiment on smallpox. I have a way to prevent people from getting smallpox. And we just went to see the emperor to talk about this matter." Chang An explained.

"So that means, this knife wound is used to prevent people from contracting smallpox?" Huaiqin asked again.

"Yeah, otherwise why would I have the time to cut a hole in myself?" Chang An felt a little funny.

Zhen'er asked again, "Is Sanniang like this too?"

Gu Li nodded, and then Zhen'er asked, "Then how do you prevent people from getting smallpox? Can we all do it?"

"Of course, everyone can prevent smallpox in this way." Then, Chang An changed the meaning to one that was easier for people to understand, and told the two of them what he had said to Li Longji.

"Ah!" Huaiqin was so frightened that her legs went limp, and tears as big as beans hung in the corners of her eyes. "Sir, how could you introduce smallpox into your body? What if... What if you..."

"Huaiqin, don't let your imagination run wild. Young Master has never done anything that he is unsure of." Zhen'er patted her on the shoulder and comforted her, "Besides, Young Master is fine now, right? Don't worry."

"Yeah, it's just a cut on the body. We are fine now." Gu Li also helped.

At this time, Chang An said in a very strange tone: "That's not right. We are all fine. Why does Huai Qin think that something will happen to me..."

After hearing this, the three girls were stunned for a moment, and then they heard Chang An continue: "Could it be that Huaiqin has taken a fancy to some man and is hoping that something bad will happen to me, and then..."

"No!" Huaiqin was unhappy when she heard it, "Huaiqin didn't want anything to happen to the young master!"

"Then why do you think something will happen to me?" Chang An asked jokingly.

"Huaiqin is just worried about the young master!" Huaiqin pursed her lips.

Gu Li also smiled and pulled Chang An, saying, "Okay, okay, stop joking. Huaiqin is almost crying because of you."

Chang An waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I won't tease you anymore. Help me with something."

When Huaiqin heard that she was asked to do something, she sniffed and held back her tears. If there was something she needed help with, it meant that she was really fine, so she nodded and said:

"it is good."

Then, Chang An said, "The West Market is open now. You and Zhen'er can go and order some things for me."

"What is it?"

Chang An stood up and said, "Wait, I'll go get the blueprint first."

After saying that, Chang An left the room directly, and after a while he brought back two more pieces of paper. On them were some things that are very familiar now - of course not from the Tang Dynasty.

Gu Li followed and looked at the blueprint in Chang An's hand. He found that it was a chessboard, and there was a chess piece in each of the four corners. The chess pieces were round, and there was a bird on each chess piece, and each bird looked different.

"Chang Lang, what is this?" Gu Li asked curiously.

"It's called flying chess," Chang An said, "It's a very fun game."

"Game?" Gu Li blinked his eyes. "How do we play?"

Chang An thought for a moment and said, "It's hard to explain now. We can play it tomorrow after it's done. Anyway, we can only stay at home these few days, so it's a good opportunity to play this game together to relieve boredom."

Then Chang An showed the next drawing, which was a larger chessboard with more loops. There were some strange symbols on the grids of this chessboard, and a few little people were drawn next to the chessboard.

"What's this behind it? It looks like flying chess, but it also doesn't." Gu Curious Baby Li asked again.

"This is called Monopoly, and the gameplay is almost the same as Flying Chess, but it's more interesting than Flying Chess." Chang An said.

Gu Li nodded, and then said: "It seems that Chang Lang likes to study some weird things..."

Chang An raised his eyebrows, then leaned close to Gu Li's ear and whispered something in a very low voice, which immediately made Gu Li's face red.

Huaiqin and Zhen'er watched their intimate actions with great curiosity, and then saw Chang'an took out a handful of white silver, put it in Huaiqin's hand, and said, "You go to the West Market now and have someone make it. I want it by tomorrow afternoon at the latest. You and Zhen'er can use the remaining money as pocket money."

"it is good."

Huaiqin packed the silver, while Zhener took the drawings and they went out together.

Chang An and Gu Li sat back at the low table. Gu Li raised her fair arm and gently rubbed the wound with her handkerchief to wipe away the blood. Then she pulled Chang An's arm and wiped away the blood on his forearm.

"That's good. The wound won't get dirty." Gu Li put away her silk handkerchief and said with satisfaction.

"Mother Gu, come in quickly. Chang Lang hasn't hugged you today." At this time, Chang An opened his arms and opened his arms.

Gu Li looked at him like this, smiled and crawled in. As soon as she sat in Chang An's arms, she leaned on his chest with satisfaction.

"Mrs. Gu?"

"Hey!"

Chang An gently pinched her hand, looked at the knife marks on it, and asked, "Why did Gu Niang want to try with me today? Aren't you afraid of failure and then death?"

Gu Li also gently touched Chang An's wound at this time and said, "So what? I said, I want to rely on Chang Lang for the rest of my life."

"What does this have to do with it?" Chang An kissed her on the cheek and asked.

"If I don't try it with Chang Lang, what if Chang Lang fails? If he fails, Chang Lang might die. If Chang Lang is gone, what's the point of me trying alone..." said Gu Li.

"So I just followed Chang Lang and tried it. If it succeeds, I can continue to be with Chang Lang. If it fails, don't think my words are unlucky. I think it's better to die with Chang Lang than to buy Duhuo alone."

Although it was not auspicious to say such a thing, it was her truest thought. When Gu Li said this, she did not notice that Chang An's arms around her were getting tighter and tighter.

Chang An buried his face in Gu Li's shoulder and asked, "Mother Gu, are you telling the truth?"

"Of course it's true."

Living and dying together, although it is easy to say, not many people can do it. But now, the person in his arms did it without saying anything.

"By the way, Chang Lang." Seeing that the atmosphere seemed a little heavy, Gu Li spoke again.

"what happened?"

"That's... that..." Gu Li's face flushed at this time, and he said softly: "Didn't Chang Lang just say that he had some new research and wanted to try it with me?"

"The door is not closed." Chang An smiled and said.

"I'll shut it down!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Li broke free from Chang An's arms, ran to the door, closed it, and bolted it. Then he ran back to Chang An, took off his hairpin, and said teasingly:

"Let Gu Niang see what interesting things Chang Lang has researched."

Chang An raised his eyebrows, picked her up, and brought her to the bed and put her down.

"Then I will let Gu Niang take a look..."
