My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chang An was sitting at the desk writing something when he suddenly heard the sound of the door being pushed open. He looked up and saw that it was Gu Li who had just run out, hiding his face with a book, and then immediately closed the door.

After doing all this, Gu Li sat down at the desk with a red face.

Seeing this, Chang An pulled her to his side, held her hand, and asked, "What's wrong?"

It would have been better if she hadn't said anything. But when she did, Gu Li felt a little aggrieved again. She raised the poetry collection and wanted to slap him, but it stopped in the air. After thinking about it, she put the poetry collection aside and pinched the back of Chang An's hand instead.

"It's all Chang Lang's fault!" He said this and turned his head away angrily.

Chang An saw that she was a little unhappy, so he simply pulled her into his arms, sniffed the fragrance on her body, and comforted her: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault. But Gu Niang, you have to tell me why you blame me, so that I can die with a clear mind, okay?"

"I met my father when I went out just now..." Gu Li said with a red face.

"Met my father?" Chang An was puzzled. "I just ran into my father, so what?"

"If it was just my father, it would be fine, but..." Gu Li's face turned redder as he spoke, "But my father is accompanied by the prime minister of our Tang Dynasty."

Prime Minister? Chang An thought for a while and said to himself: "It's just two people, it shouldn't be like this..."

So he asked again: "What happened?"

Gu Li had no choice but to tell what had just happened: "Just now I ran out to hide from you, Chang Lang, but accidentally ran to the front yard. I thought there was no one in the front yard, so I found a place to read poetry."

"Then I became so absorbed in reading that I didn't even notice my father coming."

"Then I was laughed at... It was so embarrassing!"

The more Gu Li spoke, the more embarrassed he felt. He raised his hands to cover his face and made a whimpering sound.

Chang An had no choice but to pat her back gently and coax her: "It's okay, it's okay, father and the prime minister won't remember it. Don't be afraid, and think about it, Gu Niang, you are so beautiful, no one will say anything wrong about some small things."

"Besides, my father and the prime minister are both very busy people. They will probably forget about this matter in a few hours. You don't need to take it too seriously."

After being coaxed like this, Gu Li slowly lowered his hands from his face and asked cautiously, "Really?"

"When has your Chang Lang ever lied to you?" Chang An scratched the tip of Gu Li's nose with his fingers, his eyes full of doting.

"No......"

"That's it, do you want to read a book or embroider something?" Chang An said, picking up the poetry collection that had just been thrown on the desk and shaking it in front of her eyes.

"Read a book." Gu Li snatched the poetry collection from Chang An's hand without hesitation.

"Then read your book well. Chang Lang will take Gu Niang to climb the mountain to bid farewell to Qing tomorrow, okay?" Chang An said, and rubbed Gu Li's little nose gently with his fingertips.

"Yeah." Gu Li nodded. All the little emotions just now were long forgotten. Now he leaned peacefully in Chang An's arms and read poetry.

......

The next day is the Double Ninth Festival. Not only will the Imperial College be closed on this day, but the officials in the palace will also be closed so that they can worship their ancestors and bid farewell to their ancestors.

Therefore, after Chang An and Gu Li got up, Chang Wenmeng arranged for them to bathe and burn incense. Then they were taken to the ancestral hall at home to worship their ancestors.

After worshipping the ancestors, Chang Wenmeng ordered people to prepare the carriage, while Chang An and Gu Li returned to the room to prepare the things they would bring for the climb.

After returning to the house, Chang An took a sword from his sword rack and hung it around his waist, while Gu Li went to the desk and picked up the collection of poems written by Chang An.

Chang An saw that she was always carrying the poetry collection, so he asked with a bit of a smile: "We are going to say goodbye to Qing today, why does Gu Niang want to take the poetry collection with her?"

"Because I like it, and it can help me relieve my boredom when I take it over." Gu Li replied.

Seeing this, Chang An didn't say anything more and just let her go.

After getting out of the door and getting on the carriage, Chang Wenmeng and his family of three headed straight out of the city. Because Chang An lived in Anrenfang, which was still some distance from the city gate, Gu Li took advantage of the time in the carriage to hold Chang An's arm and read the poetry collection again. From time to time, he pointed to a sentence and asked Chang An what it meant.

Chang Wenmeng, who was sitting opposite the two of them, smiled and said nothing when he saw the harmonious scene between them.

After the carriage passed through Zhuque Street, it arrived in front of Mingde Gate, waiting to leave the city. Chang An took this opportunity to lift the curtain of the carriage window and look outside. He found that there were far more carriages on the street than before. It should be that those dignitaries had a rare leisure time today, so they took advantage of the Double Ninth Festival to go out of the city to climb high and enjoy the scenery.

From time to time, the carriage left the city and stopped in front of a mountain outside the city.

Chang An and the others got off the carriage, and then Chang An found that there were many carriages parked next to his own carriage, most of which were officials and their families who were usually busy. Gu Li also closed the poetry collection at this time, and changed from holding Chang An's arm to holding his hand.

Chang Wenmeng also saw those officials at this time, bowing and greeting each other.

Chang An and Gu Li were still standing there, trying to recover from the bumpy ride of the carriage. At this moment, they heard Du Chengming's voice from behind:

"Brother Chang! Madam Gu!"

Chang An and Gu Li looked back and saw Du Chengming, Cui Hujin, Zhang Rusi and Zhao Guanzhong walking towards them. Seeing this, the couple saluted them, and the other four also returned the salute.

"I knew that on such a festive occasion, Brother Chang would bring his beloved wife here to bid farewell." Du Chengming walked forward and said as if to show off.

"Looking at you guys, you must have arrived a long time ago."

"Don't mention it, Brother Chang. I was still asleep this morning when my father woke me up. We offered sacrifices to our ancestors early and came here." Cui Hujin said with a haggard face.

"Brother Chang, you don't know, Brother Cui went to Zuiyun Tower to drink again last night, and was brought here before he sobered up." Zhang Rushi pulled Cui Hujin and said jokingly.

"Stop it, everyone. We are here today to bid farewell to the past, not to laugh at me...haha..." Cui Hujin yawned again and said.

"Then let's not talk too much," Zhao Guanzhong said, "Let's quickly climb the mountain and enjoy the scenery up there."

Several people responded and walked along the stone steps in front of the mountain towards the higher ground. Along the way, they talked and laughed, and from time to time they brought up Gu Li in the topic, so she had to respond a few words.

As they were talking, Zhang Rusi saw the book in Gu Li's hand and asked, "Madam Gu, why do you need to bring a book to read when you go up a mountain?"

When asked this question, Gu Li also lowered his head to look at the book in his hand and replied: "This is a collection of poems written by Chang Lang. I was afraid that I would be bored on the way, so I brought it here to read."

"Is this entire book filled with poems written by Brother Chang?" Zhao Guanzhong also asked in confusion.

Gu Li nodded, and Du Chengming said, "You don't understand who Brother Chang is. Don't tell me it's just one book. In a couple of days, when Madam Gu has finished reading it, Brother Chang will come up with another one that's completely different."

"You are the only one who knows how to flatter, right?" Seeing this, Chang An pulled up his shirt and was about to kick him, but Du Chengming dodged and said as he dodged:

"This is not flattery at all. You know me, Du Chengming. I only speak the truth and never flatter or kiss up to anyone."

"That's right, Brother Chang. He is telling the truth." Zhao Guanzhong also echoed.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking," Chang An pretended to kick Zhao Guanzhong, "You just want to snatch the book from my mother Gu. Your purpose is so obvious."

Gu Li couldn't help but laugh as he watched them playing. Chang An was dealing with the teasing of the four people, scaring them so much that they all ran away laughing. If he hadn't been holding Gu Li's hand, he would have rushed up to chase them.

At this time, Gu Li suddenly coughed a few times, and Chang An's attention shifted from the four buddies to Gu Li.

"Coughing again?" Chang An came over and asked with concern.

"It's nothing. It's early morning and the mountain is a little chilly and cold." Gu Li cleared his throat and felt better.

"Can we still go up? If not, let's go back."

"It's okay, I just coughed because I felt a little cold." Gu Li saw Chang An's concerned face, and was afraid that he didn't believe it, so he said, "I know my own body. If I really can't go up, I will tell Chang Lang."

Chang An nodded with relief and said, "That's fine. If you can't stand it anymore, please tell me."

Gu Li nodded, and Chang An led him up. The four people standing on top just stood there and watched the two of them being affectionate, watching with such concentration.

"Tsk tsk tsk...very showy, but not pretentious."

"Your uncle is always your uncle, and your brother Chang is always your brother Chang."

At this time, a breeze suddenly blew, and Chang An quickly turned sideways, fearing that the wind would blow Gu Li. When he saw that Gu Li's hair was a little messy, he stretched out his fingertips to comb it for her, and then the two smiled at each other. This scene was so warm and sweet.

Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao, who were standing on top, watched with their eyelids twitching. Then they turned their backs to the two men and whispered:

"Brothers, I feel the wind is a little strange today."

"I also think that wind is tasteless, but today's wind seems to have a strange smell..."

“It tastes sour…”

"Now that you mention it, it's a bit sour..."

Chang An led Gu Li to the front of the four people and said, "My mother Gu had a cough just now, so I stopped and asked about the situation."

"Uh...I understand. I understand."

"Yes, yes, Madam Gu is ill, and we all know about it."

"It's still early and we have a whole day. The worst that can happen is that we just have to wait for you a little longer."

"Yeah."

Chang An glanced at them and felt something was strange but couldn't tell what it was, so he stopped thinking about it and said:

"Shall we keep going then?"

The four of them nodded in agreement hurriedly, but they all turned their backs to Chang An and Gu Li and walked in front of them, not wanting to see what the two were doing -

It’s so hurtful!
