My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 35 How about we become sisters?

Hearing Gu Li's assurance, Su Meng nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Since Madam Gu is so sincere, how about I help you with one more thing?"

"What's the matter?" Gu Li was a little confused. "I don't think I need any help from Madam Su."

"In that case, let me ask you something," Su Meng said, "What does Chang'an do when he is not on leave? Will he always be with you?"

Gu Li thought for a moment and said, "Chang Lang will finish his studies at the Imperial College at noon. He will probably be back in an incense stick of time. After he comes back, he will stay with me all the time."

"Then, what if he goes out like last night?" Su Meng said temptingly.

"This..." Gu Li was stunned by the question.

"I can't guarantee that Chang'an will only go to my Xinluan Restaurant or the most ordinary Zuiyun Restaurant every time." Su Meng said, "The favor I want to help you with is to help you monitor Chang'an when he is away."

"Why do we need to monitor Chang Lang?" Gu Li understood a little, "He won't do that kind of thing."

"That's not what I meant," Su Meng smiled dumbly, looking at the young lady who trusted Chang An so much, and said, "I also know that Chang An would not do anything to let you down, but what if someone did something to Chang An?"

"For example, if he was beaten or kidnapped, it would be good to have someone to look after him, right?"

"Why do you say that, Madam Su?"

"You should know Chang'an. If he gets injured in a duel one day and keeps it from you after coming back, is it your fault as a wife or his fault as a husband?" Su Meng said.

At this time, Gu Li remembered the martial arts competition between Chang An and Gao Shi a few days ago, which was so scary.

"Don't worry, Madam Gu. I don't mean to order people to follow him every day and every moment." Seeing Gu Li's hesitation, Su Niang said, "I am a singer, and my network of contacts is wider than Madam Gu. I will send some spies out to pay attention to Chang An's movements, but it is not a real surveillance."

"Are you assured about this?"

But Gu Li still hesitated and said, "This is inappropriate... Why did Madam Su ask people to pay attention to Chang Lang?"

"You know Chang'an's personality. He just doesn't like to follow the rules." Su Meng seemed to recall something and said, "Just like the time before, Chang'an..."

Gu Li listened to a funny story that Chang An had told him before, and burst out laughing. He asked, "Is this true?"

"How could it be false? I was there that time and I remember it clearly." Su Meng said, "After this incident, he got drunk once and wrote a very stinky limerick..."

"Madam Su, what you said is wrong. Even if Chang Lang is not drunk, he can still write some terrible doggerel." Gu Li said at this time, and then asked Zhen'er to go back to the room to get the poetry collection. He opened the first page and showed it to Su Meng, "It's this sentence. Although he read it, I still copied it down."

After reading it, Su Meng also covered her mouth and laughed, saying: "I thought I was the only one who could grasp some of Chang An's ugly affairs, but I didn't expect that Madam Gu also had them."

"Of course. I remember it was just half a month after we got married. After he came home from school that day..." Gu Li also told the story of Chang An's previous scandal, which made the two of them laugh.

"I still remember one time..."

"Really? I feel so embarrassed..."

"That's not..."

"..."

The two of them were in the pavilion, talking about the scandals they knew about Chang An. Chang An, who was sitting in the classroom of the Imperial College, sneezed, attracting the attention of the teacher and some students.

"I have a cold?" Chang An felt a little embarrassed when he saw so many people looking at him.

In Chang's house, Gu Li and Su Meng talked a lot. They laughed every time they talked about something, and both of them almost laughed to tears.

But at this moment, Su Meng looked at the sky outside, calculated the time and saw that it was almost noon, so he said, "It's almost noon, Chang An should be back soon."

"It seems so." Gu Li also looked at the sky outside the pavilion and said.

"I just asked my mother for half a day off, and I should go back soon." Su Meng said.

But soon, Su Meng seemed to have thought of something, and said: "Madam Gu, I have a suggestion, you must listen to it."

"What proposal?"

"I wonder if I can be considered a friend to Madam Gu?" Su Meng said.

"Madam Su is Chang Lang's confidante, so naturally she is also my confidante. What's more, we have just said so many things, how can it not count?" Gu Li said with a smile.

"Who wants to be a close friend of Chang An?" Su Meng scolded with a smile, "I think you, Madam Gu, are more compatible with me. It's more interesting to talk about his scandals with Madam Gu than to talk about poetry and songs with Chang An."

"How about we become sisters?" Su Meng sat next to Gu Li and took Gu Li's hand, very sincerely.

"Well..." Gu Li looked at her sincere expression and said, "Okay."

"Well, I was born on the same day as Chang'an, but I don't know when Madam Gu was born?" Su Meng said.

"I was born in July of the second year in Chang'an, one year younger than Chang Lang."

"In that case, you can call me elder sister and I will call you younger sister. What do you think?"

"I'm not used to people calling me sister, so you can just call me Li'er." Gu Li also took Su Meng's hand.

"Okay, then I'll call you Li'er from now on."

Gu Li nodded and called sweetly, "Sister."

Su Meng also responded, then stood up and said, "It's almost time, I have to go back, or my mother will fine me if I don't go back."

"Okay, I'll see you off, sister." Gu Li also stood up and asked Zhen'er to wrap up the candies on the table. Then he and Su Meng came to the door of Chang's house.

Su Meng stood at the door, turned around and said to Gu Li: "Li'er, if you have any problems in the future, you can come to Xinluan Restaurant to find me at any time. I will greet someone and bring you in."

"Okay," Gu Li handed the candy in his hand to Su Meng and said, "I asked someone to serve you the candy just now. Sister hasn't tasted it yet, so I'll bring some back for you to try."

"Okay, then I'll thank Li'er." Su Meng smiled, turned around, got on the carriage and left.

Watching Su Meng's carriage go away, Zhen'er couldn't help but ask, "Sanniang, are you and her sisters now?"

"What's wrong?" Gu Li looked at Zhen'er and asked with some confusion.

"Aren't you afraid that Madam Su will compete with you for your favor in the future?"

"No," Gu Li shook his head and said, "If I was worried about this, I wouldn't have talked to her for so long."

"I can see that she really likes Chang Lang and wants to make things better for him." Gu Li said seriously, "Sister doesn't want to make things difficult for Chang Lang. Otherwise, it would go against her original intention, wouldn't it?"

"That's what Sanniang said."

"Okay, don't talk nonsense about this kind of thing in the future. Let's go back and rest for a while. We have to wait for Chang Lang later."

"Okay, Sanniang."

Su Meng sat in the carriage, holding the candies in her hands, not knowing what she was thinking about, and she looked a little absent-minded.

"Miss?"

Yuqi's words brought Su Meng back from her trance, and she responded, "What's wrong?"

"Yuqi doesn't quite understand."

"What don't you understand?"

"My lady likes Mr. Chang so much. If you persist and impress him, even if he is not your legal wife, at least your wish will be fulfilled." Yuqi said.

"What are you still insisting on?" Su Meng looked at Yuqi and said, "I love Chang'an, but I don't want to possess him. If he is truly happy, what does it matter if I am more or less?"

"but......"

"But what? I have been giving so much?" Su Meng picked up a candy and put it in Yuqi's hand. "I have given so much for Chang'an, but I hope he can be happy and happy."

"The happiest thing for him now is to be with Li'er, and I can see that Li'er is really willing to make Chang Lang happy. In this case, my goal has been achieved, so why should I interfere and hurt him?"

"The most important thing is..." Su Meng picked up another candy, put it in her mouth, and said, "I am just a prostitute in Pingkangfang. People gave me the title of Oiran out of respect."

"Who is Chang An? Many people say that he is the most talented person in Chang'an City. How can I..."

"Good enough for him?"

As he spoke, he looked lonely, stretched out his slender fingers to lift the curtain of the carriage, and looked outside...

The carriage drove into Pingkangfang and returned to Su Meng's own courtyard. She glanced at the table outside the courtyard, which was filled with various gifts from admirers, such as cloth, rouge, or new clothes. However, she did not linger on these things, but walked straight into the room.

The two poems Chang An wrote for her yesterday were placed on her dressing table. She slowly picked up the paper and read it again. As she read, she laughed and sighed. Then she threw it into the charcoal basin and threw the fire lighter down.

"Madam! These are the poems that Mr. Chang wrote for you!" Yuqi was very puzzled when she saw Su Meng throwing the two pieces of poetry paper into the fire.

"I know," Su Meng said, "Because this was written to me by Chang An, it should be burned."

"In the eyes of the world, Chang An is a man who would never write poems for prostitutes. If this matter were to get out, wouldn't the world laugh at him?"

Finally, she picked up the piece of paper with the words "We are both wanderers in this world, why do we need to know each other when we meet?" and threw them into the fire, burning them all...

At the gate of Chang's house, Gu Li was waiting for Chang'an as usual. Chang'an got off the carriage with a food box in his hand, and no one knew what was inside.

"Chang Lang!"

Chang An saw Gu Li and hurried over to her. He picked up the food box in his hand and said, "Mother Gu, guess what I bought?"

As if he was sure that Gu Li would not be able to guess, Chang An looked very proud. But unexpectedly, Gu Li thought for a moment and said, "Is it fish? Grilled fish or roasted fish?"

The smug look on Chang An's face disappeared immediately. He opened the lid of the food box and found a braised fish inside. "How did you guess that, Gu Niang?"

Gu Li took the food box from Chang An and said arrogantly, "I won't tell you."

"Did you secretly send Zhen'er to follow me? She even knew that I bought fish." Chang An pulled Gu Li, who turned around and walked into the mansion, and said, "Or is it that my mother Gu and I have a telepathic connection?"

"No, Chang Lang, just guess." Gu Li said in a cocky manner.

"Tell me quickly, your Chang Lang will be so worried that he will die." Chang An kissed Gu Li on the face, "I have kissed Gu Niang, please tell me quickly."

"Then I'll kiss Chang Lang too, then we'll be even. I don't have to tell Chang Lang about you." As he said that, Gu Li stood on tiptoes again and kissed Chang An.

Huaiqin and Zhen'er stood at the door and watched the two people playing around, looked at each other, and then laughed.
