My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 10 Chang Lang Meets Gu Niang

After Chang An, Du Chengming and the other two returned to their private room, the boss heard about this farce. He wisely asked the waiter and the waiter to kick the three people out of Zuiyun Tower and never set foot there again.

Afterwards, the boss personally came to Chang'an's private room to apologize to him. It was not until Chang'an said he would pay the money that the boss realized the matter was over.

"Brother Chang, don't be angry anymore, drink some wine." Du Chengming saw Chang An's angry look just now, and was afraid that it would affect his good day tomorrow, so he wanted to divert his attention.

Chang An took a few deep breaths, and then he calmed down. He picked up the wine glass and said, "I lost my temper just now. Let's continue drinking. We won't go home until we are drunk tonight!"

"Okay! Drink!"

"I wish Brother Chang a smooth wedding tomorrow!"

"Do you really need to wish for this? Brother Chang has made such a grand ceremony that everything will go smoothly without your blessing."

"I agree with what Brother Zhao said. Brother Chang is a handsome man, and Madam Gu is a stunning beauty. They are a perfect match..."

"Come, come, come..."

......

When they were almost drunk, Chang An also obediently followed Huai Qin's instructions and sent someone home to call her to pick him up. As soon as Chang An got home, Huai Qin helped him fall on the bed and he fell into a deep sleep.

When Huaiqin saw him like this, she helped him cover the quilt while muttering, "You must cover yourself with the quilt, otherwise you will catch a cold."

When Chang An woke up again, it was already daybreak. He stood up and called out twice, and Huaiqin, who had been ready outside, came in, carrying a basin of water as usual.

"Young Master, wake up, come and wash up."

Huaiqin walked to Chang'an's bed and folded the quilt for him. After Chang'an washed up, Huaiqin took the red dress that had been hanging on the hanger and helped him put it on. Then she brought a large mirror and stood in front of Chang'an holding it.

Chang An took a few steps back and looked at himself in the mirror wearing a bright red dress. His already tall and straight figure looked even more heroic in the red dress.

He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Not bad. I only saw the clothes before but never wore them myself. Now that I see them, they are really good."

"Of course, you are the best looking young master!" said the little flatterer Huaiqin.

"By the way, there are still some things that need to be arranged. Are they all arranged?" Chang An tapped Huaiqin's forehead lightly and asked.

"The decoration has already begun, and many of our uncles and aunts have come." Huaiqin said, "Sir, let's go to the front and meet the uncles and aunts."

Chang An nodded, and when Huaiqin put down the mirror in her hand, he walked out with her and came to the front. As Huaiqin said, many people had already come to the lobby of the house. Chang An was led by Huaiqin to bow to all the relatives. His father Chang Wenmeng went to the morning court and would be back later.

After meeting with all the uncles and aunts, Chang An heard a familiar voice coming from the door -

"Brother Chang!"

Chang An turned around and looked towards the door. Du Chengming, Cui Hujin and the other four had also arrived.

"Brother Du, Brother Cui, Brother Zhang, Brother Zhao."

Chang An bowed to them one by one.

"You invited us to help you get dressed, so how could you be late?" Zhang Rushi said.

Zhao Guanzhong walked around Chang An twice and said, "Brother Chang is very handsome. I didn't expect that he would look even more heroic in this formal suit."

"Okay, okay, you bootlicker," Chang An smiled and patted him.

Chang An chatted with a few people for a while, and his father came back. The wedding procession was already standing at the door.

"My son, the auspicious time is about to arrive, why don't you get on your horse and get ready?" Chang Wenmeng looked at Chang An, who was dressed in red, and couldn't help feeling relieved.

"Yes, father." After Chang An bowed to Chang Wenmeng, he came to the door with his four friends.

In addition to the long procession of people welcoming the bride, there were five tall horses standing in front of the procession. The horse in the middle had the brightest fur and was standing closer to the front. It was obvious that Chang An was going to ride it to pick up the bride. In the middle of the procession, there was a large sedan chair with eight people standing in front and behind it.

Chang An looked at the procession and nodded with satisfaction. At this time, Wang the matchmaker standing in front of the procession shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived, the groom is on his horse, and he is going to welcome the bride!"

Chang An and the four people behind him exchanged a glance, then walked to the front horse, grabbed the reins and jumped on the horse. Huaiqin also handed Chang An the basket filled with wedding candies and red envelopes. Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao followed Chang An and got on the four horses behind.

With Chang'an's shout of "Go", the huge team set off with Chang'an.

Walking on the street, you can hear the gongs and drums going up to the sky, the fireworks and firecrackers going off continuously, and the momentum is very magnificent. When the pedestrians on the street see the wedding procession, they give way to the groom and discuss whose husband he is.

"Isn't that Mr. Chang'an? I didn't expect that he would get married so soon."

"Mr. Chang is so talented, I wonder whose young lady is so lucky..."

The discussions of passers-by were nothing more than this, and Chang An couldn't help but smile as he listened to these discussions - he had never been married in his previous life, and in this life he finally fulfilled this dream, and he didn't expect that getting married would feel like this.

Chang An looked back and saw that several people in the team had thrown out the wedding candies in their baskets. At this time, many children were scrambling to grab the thrown wedding candies.

Du Chengming saw Chang An looking back, so he smiled and shouted, "The groom dislikes the low voice and is afraid that the bride can't hear him, so he should make the gongs, drums, and trumpets louder!"

This was originally just a joke by Du Chengming, but the musicians behind him also understood and played harder, which made the scene even more lively, and Chang An smiled even more. Matchmaker Wang, who was walking in front, also smiled when she saw it - this was quite a grand occasion.

When Chang An led the wedding procession to the Gu Mansion, the Gu Mansion was also filled with joy. Today's bride, Gu Li, was also sitting in the room, with several maids helping her change clothes.

At this time, a woman came in. Gu Li saw the person and called out, "Mother."

"Li'er is getting married today." This is Gu Li's mother, Gu Su. "People outside are saying that the young master of the Chang family is coming to pick you up with gongs and drums. He looks very impressive."

Gu Li smiled faintly, then Gu Su came forward, picked up the Begonia powder on the table, and said, "Auntie, let me perform the three-comb ceremony for you, okay?"

"Thank you, mother."

Gu Li sat down at the table and closed her eyes, while Gu Su gently smeared the crabapple powder on her face, then picked up the scissors and trimmed her temples, which was called "opening the face". After opening the face, Gu Su picked up the wooden comb and performed the three-combing ceremony for her:

"Comb all the way to the end..."

"The second time I comb my white hair to the eyebrows..."

"Three combs bring forth many descendants..."

After the three combing rituals, Gu Su stretched out her hand to call the maids to help Gu Li dress up, while she sat aside, looking at her daughter with tears in her eyes.

"Mother? Why are you crying?"

"Silly girl, what mother wouldn't cry when she sees her wife getting married?" Gu Su scolded with a smile, and said, "When the time comes, if you give birth to a daughter and she gets married, you will know."

Gu Li smiled after hearing this. The maid in charge of makeup combed Gu Li's long green hair up high, put it on her head, and then tied it up with red and green silk thread. She also pulled out a strand of hair on both sides and tied it with silk thread, letting it hang in front of her shoulders. After combing the hair, the maids were divided into two groups, one group was putting makeup on Gu Li, and the other group was putting on a headdress for Gu Li.

Just as the maids finished dressing Gu Li, a woman shouted from outside the door: "The groom is here!"

After hearing this, Gu Li stood up, and Gu Su walked in front of her with the veil, and after a reluctant look, she covered her head with the veil. Zhen'er picked up the fan and put it in Gu Li's hand, and finally held up the umbrella, led her to the door, stepped over the saddle at the door, and the maids who had been waiting outside the door threw rice grains in the air.

Chang An and several friends stood in front of the door, while many female members of the Gu family stood in front of the gate of the Gu Mansion, as if they were trying to stop them.

Chang An smiled slightly, walked forward, bowed, handed the red envelopes in his hand to the women one by one, and asked, "Excuse me, when will the new bride come out?"

The leading female family member said, "The bride is still dressing up, I'm afraid the groom will have to wait a little longer."

"If the groom is impatient, why not recite a poem to urge him on?"

"Hurry up?" Chang An looked at the four buddies behind him, took two steps back, cleared his throat, and recited in a clear voice: "In the past, when I was going to Yujing for a tour, the first immortal promised me the top spot. Today, I am fortunate to be meeting Qin and Jin, so I will ask the phoenix to come down from the dressing room early."

At this time, Gu Li, who had been standing behind the door, was about to go out after listening to the poem, but before he could take a step, he heard another clear and melodious voice reciting a poem from outside:

"Where is the best place to get married in the spring? Two rows of bamboos in cages, a tree of flowers between fans. The guests are seated at the banquet, and the carriage with curtains is welcomed in person. The poem to urge the bride to get married is not finished, and the stars are gradually tilting - Dai Changlang recites the second poem to urge the bride to get married."

This was not Chang An's voice, but just as he was wondering, another voice came from outside: "I don't know what night it is, urging me to get close to the mirror on the balcony. Who said that lotus flowers grow in water, and a branch blooms in the bronze mirror - recite the third part of "Urging to put on makeup" on behalf of Chang Lang."

This was repeated for a total of five poems urging the bride to get ready. All the women at the door were amazed - they did not expect that Mr. Chang had such amazing talent. Even his friends who followed him read poems for him, all of them were poems he had written.

"This Chang Langjun is really anxious..."

Everyone couldn't help but praise.

"The bride is coming!"

A voice came from behind the door, and the women at the door made way after hearing it. Then the door opened, and Chang An saw a maid leading a woman in a green dress out. The woman had a red veil on her head and held a fan in front of her with both hands.

"Please get the bride into the bridal sedan!"

Zhen'er took Gu Li's hand and came to the front of the sedan chair. After leading her to the sedan chair, she stood aside. At this time, Chang'an came to the sedan bearers, called them together, and whispered:

"The bride is not feeling well. When you guys rock the sedan later, remember not to rock it too much, or you will get a lot of reward money."

"understood."

The leading sedan bearer said, and Chang An raised his hand to salute him gratefully. Then, he returned to the front of the team and climbed onto his horse.

Matchmaker Wang on the side also shouted loudly:

"The groom is welcoming his bride home!"

Afterwards, she raised the red bouquet in her hand and threw it high in the air. The long wedding procession turned around and continued to rush towards the Chang Mansion in a hurry.
