Chapter 152 Official Move-in
After Chang An arrived at the Imperial College, he heard Du Chengming's voice as soon as he entered the door: "Greetings, Earl Ji Kang!"
Chang An was stunned for a moment, then looked inside. At this time, all the students focused their attention on Chang An. They all stood up and greeted Chang An, "Meet Ji Kangbo."
Chang An was so enthusiastic that he thought they were fanning the flames. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Don't be like this, just call me the same way you used to call me."
"Brother Yonghe, let me tell you, we all heard yesterday that the current emperor not only conferred a title on you, but also conferred a title on Madam Gu." Du Chengming walked up at this time.
"I heard that you were given a big house as a reward. When will you move in? When will you host a dinner?"
When Du Chengming said this, he even began to rub his hands, and it seemed that he was eager to bankrupt Chang An, the new Lord.
"Brother Du, what you said is wrong. Brother Yonghe has made great contributions and was directly granted a title as a scholar without even reaching adulthood. Why don't you learn from Brother Yonghe? Why do you just want to eat his food?" Zhao Guanzhong, who was sitting in his seat at this time, said with a smile.
Chang An waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We don't care about auspicious days. So we will move today, and if you want to come, you can come tonight and have fun together."
"it is good!"
"Then I would like to thank Brother Yonghe."
At noon, the Imperial College was dismissed again, and Chang An and Huai Qin got on the carriage. The driver asked, "Sir, where are we going?"
"Hmm..." Chang An thought for a moment, then said, "Let's go back to the new house."
"Yes, sir." The coachman agreed, then drove directly, taking Chang'an and Huaiqin away from the Imperial College.
Because Chang'an's Jikangbo Mansion was right next to Chang'an's Mansion, the horse could only walk a few steps. When Chang'an got off the carriage, he found Gu Li standing at the door of Jikangbo Mansion, smiling as he watched him get off the carriage.
"Chang Lang!"
When Gu Li saw Chang An, he walked up to him with joy, but he couldn't completely hide the tiredness on his face.
Chang An came up with a look of distress, picked up Gu Li, and asked with concern: "Mother Gu has been busy all morning, right? Are you tired?"
Gu Li put his arms around Chang An's neck, shook his head and said, "Not tired."
Chang An took a step forward and walked directly into the Jikangbo Mansion. Looking around, he found that it didn't look like a new house at all - everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Obviously, this was all thanks to Gu Li.
"My mother Gu is really great. She managed to make the new house so tidy in just one morning."
"No way." Although she didn't take credit for it, the smile on her face showed her satisfaction.
At this time, Cui Yu and Su Meng also came over.
"Chang Langjun."
"Chang'an."
Both women greeted Chang An.
"Chang Lang, Madam Cui and my sister helped me today. Without them, I wouldn't have done so well." Gu Li said at this time.
Chang An put Gu Li down, then smiled and said to Cui Yu and Su Meng, "Thank you."
"Okay, okay, Lord Ji Kangbo, why don't you put away your bookcase?" Su Meng said at this time, "Our Li'er has tidied the master bedroom very well."
Chang An raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at Gu Li, and asked, "Oh? How has Mother Gu managed it?"
Gu Li took Chang An's hand and walked directly to the master bedroom. As he walked, he said, "Chang Lang, come and take a look and you will know."
Chang An let Gu Li lead him around the front hall and walked towards the master bedroom. At this time, there were no other servants in the master bedroom yard, so Gu Li led Chang An directly into the room.
As soon as he saw the layout of the room, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows - isn't this the same as his original room? Even the wardrobe and the dressing table that he personally made for Gu Li were placed in the previous position. Except for the original desk being a sitting couch that could not be changed, the rest of the place was basically the same as the previous room -
It can even be said to be exactly the same!
It is hard to imagine how clearly Gu Li remembered the previous room, but it is also obvious how much Gu Li liked the original room.
"Mrs. Gu decorated it so well. It's almost exactly the same as the room there." Chang An put the bookcase next to the low table and said, "How did Mrs. Gu remember so much?"
Gu Li lowered his eyebrows slightly, his face was a little red, and said: "Because that is our wedding room..."
Chang An smiled and touched the top of her head, then asked, "Where are we having lunch today?"
"Let's eat here. I have already asked the servants to cook. I think it will be ready soon." Gu Li said.
At this moment, Chang An suddenly thought of Cui Yu and Su Meng, so he turned around and asked, "Madam Cui, Su Meng, would you like to stay for lunch today? I also want to thank you for helping my mother Gu."
"No need. My husband must be home soon, so I won't stay any longer." Cui Yu said with a smile.
Su Meng also said: "My time out is almost up, I have to go back, otherwise my mother will deduct money from me."
"Well then." Chang An had no choice but to give up after hearing this. "If you have time tonight, please don't forget to come and have a dinner with us."
Both of them smiled, didn't give any response, turned around and left.
Gu Li said, "Chang Lang has worked hard in studying. Take a rest for a while, then you can have lunch."
Chang An was led by Gu Li to sit at the low table. As soon as he sat down, he pulled Gu Li over and asked her to sit on his lap. Then he raised his hand and pinched her shoulder, saying gently:
"My mother Gu has been walking around all morning today. She has worked hard."
"It's not hard." Gu Li said, and put his hand on Chang An's hand that was pinching his shoulder, "Chang Lang is tired too, there's no need to pinch him."
Chang An patted her face directly, and said like coaxing a child: "Be good, be obedient, and give Chang Lang a pinch."
Having gotten the upper hand, Gu Li had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I can only pinch you for a short while."
After kneading for a while, Chang An kissed Gu Li on the cheek again and said, "The one just now was a shoulder kneading, this one is a shoulder pounding."
"Chang Lang, you are cheating!" Gu Li twisted his body, trying to break free from Chang An's arms, but was pulled back by Chang An.
"Oh!"
Chang An put his arm around her waist and said, "I've already received the money, so why would you run away?"
"But Chang Lang has worked hard too. I haven't massaged Chang Lang's shoulders yet." Gu Li had no choice but to sit quietly in Chang An's arms and enjoy his massage service.
"Then Madam Gu, please massage it for me tonight." Chang An said with a smile.
"also……"
Chang An squeezed it until lunch time. After lunch, he asked the servant to find a shovel, and then went straight to the Chang Mansion.
After Gu Li finished his meal, he sat in the pavilion and drank medicine. From time to time, Chang An ran in with a shovel and loquat saplings, and then planted the saplings directly in the empty garden.
Huaiqin and Zhener have also moved in and live in the side room next to their courtyard.
At this time, Huaiqin came in and said, "Sir, Sanniang, Mr. Gao, Mr. Wang, and Ms. Cui are here."
Chang An had just finished planting the saplings, so he stood up, clapped his hands, and said, "Please come in quickly. We can't let these two guys go back hungry today."
"Yes, sir." After Huaiqin went out, Chang'an and Gu Li also followed him out.
When he arrived at the door, Chang An saw Wang Wei and his wife and Gao Shi standing there, each holding a basket in their hands.
When the three of them saw Chang An, they were about to greet him, but Chang An said first: "Call me the same way you did before, or you will all be kicked out."
Wang Wei and Gao Shi were both stunned for a moment, smiled at each other, and then greeted each other:
"Brother Yonghe, Madam Gu."
"Brother Chang, Madam Gu."
Both of them said so.
Chang An then smiled with satisfaction and said, "Please come in quickly. After the decoration is completed, we can start the joining ceremony."
"it is good!"
The three of them walked in, and were then placed in the main hall by Chang An. Before they started chatting, they heard a loud shout from the gate:
"Brother Yonghe!"
Chang An looked towards the door and saw Du, Cui, Zhang and Zhao all standing at the door, each holding a basket in their hands.
"Please come in quickly!" Chang An waved at them.
After the four came in, they were all seated in the main hall under Chang An's hospitality. After the four and Wang Wei and the other two greeted each other, Du Chengming asked:
"Brother Yonghe, we came here right after dinner, so we shouldn't be late, right?"
"No no."
Chang An waved his hand, and then saw Chang Wenmeng, Song Jing and Chang Wenqing at the door again. As usual, Chang An welcomed them in, and then went to find the servants and asked them to arrange the table.
Seeing that everything was almost arranged, the surrounding neighbors and some officials also came to pay a visit.
Then Chang Wenmeng smiled and said, "Yonghe, almost everyone has arrived, why don't you go cut the ribbon and unveil the plaque?"
Chang An nodded, and then came to the gate with the guests and the servants. Two maids came over with a big embroidered ball and put the red cloth strips at both ends into the hands of Chang An and Gu Li.
At this time, Chang An said to Song Jing: "Sir, if you hadn't helped me to bring my words to the emperor, I wouldn't be where I am today. I wonder if you could give me a favor and open a plaque for me."
"of course can!"
Then, Song Jing walked under the plaque and held the hanging red cloth. Huaiqin and Zhen'er stood behind their respective masters, while Chang Wenmeng held the scissors and said after standing:
"Yonghe, Li'er, are you ready?"
"Get ready, your father is about to cut the ribbon!"
Chang An and Gu Li both nodded, and then Chang Wenmeng put the scissors in front of the red cloth and cut it off. After cutting off the hydrangea, Song Jing immediately tore off the red cloth, and the red cloth covering the plaque fell directly, revealing the entire plaque. Then the guests and servants around applauded and said congratulations.
After handing the cloth strips to the maid, Chang An and Gu Li turned around and looked at the plaque -
There are four golden characters on the plaque:
A wise man who is good at managing the world.
