My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 119: Chang An in Distress

"Moreover, I was able to pass the imperial examination this time thanks to the help and recommendation of Brother Yonghe, otherwise I would not have been able to come back so early." At this point, Wang Wei laughed again.

"Is he a high-ranking official?" Cui Yu was a little surprised.

"No, he is just the son of an official, and his husband is the prime minister of the dynasty." Wang Wei shook his head, "He introduced me to the gentleman who recommended him."

"He didn't even let his teacher recommend him, but recommended someone else. This guy is really weird." Cui Yu frowned, "Could it be that he wants to use you?"

"No, from the day I met Brother Yonghe, I knew he was upright, broad-minded, and not an ordinary person." Wang Wei denied Cui Yu's statement.

"Then why would he introduce you to him? I really can't understand." Cui Yu frowned.

"I can't figure it out either, but Brother Yonghe not only introduced me to you, he also introduced another young man to you." Wang Wei was also a little puzzled by this.

"What benefit will he get from doing this? Has he gained any benefit from you?" Cui Yu asked again.

"No, we only sent some small gifts during festivals, but he would also invite us to stay and have dinner together," Wang Wei replied.

"Forget it, today is a happy day for both of us, let's not talk about other things."

Cui Yu wanted to raise a few more questions, but Wang Wei didn't intend to talk about them anymore.

"The auspicious time has come!"

After they both rested for a while, they heard the voice of the good man coming from outside the tent, announcing that the wedding ceremony of Wang Wei and Cui Yu was about to move on to the next stage. So the two of them adjusted their formal clothes and sat down to wait for the start...

While Wang Wei and Cui Yu were having the ceremony, Chang An was also sitting at home, resting his head on Gu Li's legs, watching her embroidering. He just sat there bored on Gu Li's legs, and yawned twice.

Chang An sniffed the fragrance of Gu Li, but he didn't seem to be satisfied, so he moved closer to her belly. But it seemed that it was not enough, so he just stuck to her belly and leaned into Gu Li's gentle embrace.

"Hmm?" Gu Li felt the sensation coming from his lower abdomen, so he stopped what he was doing, reached out and touched Chang An's cheek, and asked, "What's wrong, Chang Lang, are you tired?"

"Smells so good..." Chang An just nestled in Gu Li's arms and said infatuatedly.

Gu Li knew what he meant, so he smiled and said, "If Chang Lang feels it's fragrant, just stay a little longer. Anyway, there's a whole afternoon."

"Hehe..." After getting Gu Li's permission, Chang An rubbed against her twice in satisfaction, "Mother Gu is so nice..."

As she spoke, Chang An yawned, which made Gu Li laugh. She chuckled and asked jokingly:

"Why do I always feel sleepy when Chang Lang rests his head on me? Is it because I, Gu Niang, can't make Chang Lang perk up?"

"No way, how could it be..." Chang An put his face on Gu Li's belly, "Mother Gu is so gentle, I have been intoxicated by her gentleness, of course I would feel sleepy..."

"Then take a nap if you're sleepy. I'll wake Chang Lang up when dinner is almost over, okay?" Gu Li asked gently, stroking Chang An's hair.

"No, I'm not going to sleep..." Chang An raised his eyelids and looked at Gu Li and said, "How can I sleep alone?"

Gu Li blinked, not understanding what Chang An meant at first. But she soon came to her senses, blushed, and pointed in the direction of the door:

"The door is not yet bolted."

"Turn it off and go to sleep..."

Chang An got up immediately, opened the door and checked the yard outside. After confirming that no one was there, he bolted the door. Then he turned around, picked up Gu Li, and gently put him on the bed.

"Chang Lang..." Gu Li suddenly spoke at this time.

"Hmm?" Chang An gently pulled out the hairpin on Gu Li's head and untied her hair.

"Chang Lang, wait a minute... can you..." Gu Li felt a little embarrassed when he said the last few words, and asked in a low voice:

"Can you... be a little more gentle..."

Chang An raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"

"I still have to have dinner with Huaiqin Zhener tonight, and Changlang knows that I'm very shy..."

"alright."

……

Ever since Dr. Zhang announced that they could have children, Chang An and Gu Li began to do shameless things every day without restraint. One was eager to have a child, and the other wanted to eat meat without restraint. So no matter when or where, as long as one of them opened his mouth, the two bundles of dry firewood would spontaneously ignite without fire.

After the two of them rested for a while, they got up and put on their clothes. Because it was close to the evening hour, Gu Li simply didn't bother to put her hair into a bun. She just sat in front of the dressing table and simply tied her long hair with a hairpin.

"By the way, Chang Lang, have the gifts we sent to Wang Langjun and his wife arrived?" After Gu Li finished tying her hair, she sat down at the low table and asked, "Today is Wang Langjun's big wedding day."

Chang An poured her a cup of tea and said, "It should have arrived. I sent it expedited. It's about 250 miles to Puzhou, and the cargo isn't that much, I think."

Gu Li drank some water, coughed twice, and said, "It's not too little actually. There are still 19 rolls of silk."

"If you can make it, it's okay to arrive late." Chang An said.

Gu Li nodded, drank the tea in the cup, picked up the needle and thread that had just been placed on the table, and started knitting again. Chang An came forward and asked:

"What is Gu Niang embroidering?"

"It's a new purse embroidered for Chang Lang." Gu Li said with a smile.

"Embroider a new purse? Why? It's not any new festival, is it?" Chang An was a little confused and began to calculate the days. It seemed that there was no new festival.

Gu Li said, "Of course, today is February 25th, and in a while it will be March 3rd."

"March 3rd? What day is this?" Chang An thought about it in his mind, but even the original owner's memory did not have any memory of a festival related to this day.

"It seems Chang Lang has read too much again," Gu Li smiled, thinking that Chang An often stayed at home to study and didn't know about these festivals. "March 3 is the Shangsi Festival, which is a festival for men and women to meet, swim and feast."

Chang An raised his eyebrows and suddenly realized that March 3rd was equivalent to February 14th in modern times, and Shangsi Festival was Valentine's Day. Damn, I didn't know that. If I wanted to order gifts, I had to start now.

Oh no... not now either. Chang An had never been in a relationship before. This time he married such an older wife, so naturally he had to pamper her. Most importantly, Chang An wanted to prepare a surprise and create some romance.

Gu Li saw that Chang An had not spoken for a while, so he looked up and found that he was leaning on the table. It was obvious that he was thinking about something.

She stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of Chang An's eyes: "Chang Lang? Chang Lang?"

Chang An came back to his senses at this time and responded: "Hmm? What's wrong?"

"What is Chang Lang thinking about?" After seeing Chang An come back to his senses, Gu Li continued to embroider the new purse in her hand.

"I won't tell Mother Gu, this is my little secret." Chang An chuckled evilly and started to keep the suspense again.

Gu Li was already used to Chang An's suspense, so he raised his eyes slightly and thought for a while, then said: "Chang Lang, could it be that he didn't know about the Shangsi Festival, so he forgot to prepare anything, and was just thinking about what to give?"

Chang An was stunned for a moment, and silently swallowed his saliva. He didn't expect that keeping the secret would not work on his wife. He quickly replied hesitantly:

"No... No, I didn't forget. I remember it very clearly... I wasn't thinking about the gift. You misunderstood, Gu Niang."

Gu Li narrowed his eyes slightly at this time, obviously not believing Chang An's words, so he said: "That means Chang Lang has no intention of giving me a gift, right?"

"Okay, but this purse is only half embroidered... Next time when Wang Langjun's wife comes, give it to her as a meeting gift."

After saying that, Gu Li simply put down the work in his hands, looking like he was angry. Chang An quickly came to Gu Li and said flatteringly: "No, I'm ready, but I'm still working on it at someone else's place."

"But doesn't Chang Lang know what the Shangsi Festival is?" Gu Li hit the nail on the head, making Chang An a little embarrassed. "Now he says he has prepared a gift. Did Chang Lang lie to me from the beginning?"

"No, no, no, Gu Niang knows me. I always like to prepare surprises for you. Surprises are interesting and can show my love for you, Gu Niang, right?"

"A surprise, a surprise, it's an unexpected joy. If I had told Mother Gu at the beginning, it wouldn't be a surprise." Chang An moved forward and wanted to kiss Gu Li on the cheek, but the other party turned his face away, obviously not accepting Chang An's flattery.

Seeing Gu Li like this, Chang An obviously looked a little disappointed, so he had to straighten himself up, scratched his head in embarrassment, and looked a little unhappy. Gu Li secretly glanced at Chang An, and his heart moved slightly——

He was now just like the day before the wedding when Chang An stood at the door and asked her if she could ask the women in the family not to embarrass him. He was so embarrassed and at a loss. He was so embarrassed and scratched his head, looking embarrassed in front of him. The only difference was that he did not escape to the carriage embarrassedly.

Seeing this, she felt inexplicably distressed.

So, she didn't plan to tease Chang An anymore, but came forward and smacked Chang An on the face. She smiled and said, "I'm teasing Chang Lang, don't be unhappy, Chang Lang."

"hey-hey......"

"Chang Lang's appearance just now is just like the day when Chang Lang came to deliver the Najib gift." Gu Li took Chang An's hand, "Chang Lang is the cutest at this time."
