My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Gu Baizhi was very efficient. He quickly found the monk, exchanged two brand new wooden signs for him, and stuffed them directly into the hands of Chang An and Gu Li.

"How about it, your eldest brother's work efficiency is pretty good, right?" Gu Baizhi's words were obviously showing off.

"Of course, big brother is very fast in doing things." Gu Li also said in cooperation.

"Alright, alright, big brother, stop bragging," Gu Huashuo patted Gu Baizhi and said, "You two should go write the sign and hang it up first."

"Okay." Gu Li and Chang An both answered.

Next to the shelf with the sign was a desk, on which pens and ink were already laid out, ready for pilgrims to use. Chang An stood beside the desk, thinking for a long time before solemnly writing:

"My family is well and healthy, my wife is healthy and free from illness, my country is peaceful and prosperous, and my friends and relatives are on the list of successful candidates."

After finishing writing, he put down the pen and looked at Gu Li beside him, only to find that she had already finished writing and was standing beside him looking at him.

"Has Mrs. Gu finished writing it?" Chang An asked.

"I have already written it down," Gu Li replied, "Chang Lang, what wish did you write down?"

Chang An then showed his prayer board in front of Gu Li. After seeing it, Gu Li pouted and said, "Why are these two sentences written by others? Doesn't Chang Lang pray for himself?"

"No need," Chang An took back the wooden sign and asked, "What did you write, Gu Niang?"

Gu Li raised his hand a little embarrassedly and put the sign in front of Chang An. There was a simple sentence on it:

"Everything a loving husband wishes for can be fulfilled."

Chang An smiled at this time, stretched out his finger and scratched the tip of Gu Li's nose, "Let's go hang up the sign."

Gu Li nodded, and then followed Chang An to the shelf, and hung the sign on the shelf with Chang An. There were already many wishes hanging on the shelf, and Chang An and Gu Li had some difficulty hanging the sign in a slightly empty position.

After hanging it up, Chang An clapped his hands, and then he realized that his and Gu Li's signs were close together because there was not enough space on the shelf. Almost half of the two signs were stuck together. He looked at Gu Li on the side in a daze, and the other turned his head at the same time, presumably also noticing this problem. The two looked at each other and then smiled knowingly.

When Gu Ke and his two sons saw Chang An and Gu Li standing in front of the shelf and flirting with each other, they thought that the prayer signs must have been hung up, so they all walked forward.

After approaching, Gu Ke said, "I thought Li'er would be wronged if she married Yonghe, and then I heard rumors. After seeing her today, I realized that I was worrying too much."

"Father, what are you talking about? Chang Lang treats me very well." Gu Li spoke up to defend Chang An, then took Chang An's hand and muttered unhappily, "Why does everyone say something bad about Chang Lang when they see me?"

"Okay, okay, it's father's fault." Gu Ke hurried over, pulled up Gu Li's other hand, and patted it gently.

Then, Gu Ke looked at Chang An again and said, "Yonghe, come with me. I have something to tell you."

Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other, then let go of Gu Li's hand and followed Gu Ke to the side. Gu Ke then looked at Gu Li and the two brothers not far away, wanting to confirm whether they could hear it.

Chang An saw Gu Ke's mysterious look and asked, "Father-in-law, you asked me to come here, but what do you want to say?"

"Oh, that's right," Gu Ke turned around and said, "Actually, I heard about you and Li'er before, but today I saw that you were very kind to Li'er, so I feel relieved for the time being."

"But I have an unreasonable request. I wonder if Yonghe can agree to it?"

"Father-in-law, please speak."

"You are now famous, and even the prime minister has accepted you as his student. You have a promising future. If you choose to take a concubine in the future, please don't let Li'er down."

Chang An was also a little surprised at this time, and didn't know why Gu Ke said such a thing.

"Don't blame me. I see that Li'er is devoted to you, Yonghe, and I'm afraid that you will neglect her and wrong her if you take a concubine, so I said this." Gu Ke looked a little humble in front of Chang'an at this time. "Or, you can divorce Li'er and marry another one in a grand sedan chair."

"Just don't hurt Li'er."

Chang An finally understood why Gu Ke said this after hearing this. He smiled, bowed slightly and said, "Father-in-law, you are wrong about this."

Gu Ke was slightly startled, and then he listened to Chang An continue:

"I have no intention of neglecting, wronging or hurting Gu Niang, and I have no intention of taking a concubine or remarrying after divorce."

When Chang An said this, his face was full of seriousness and solemnity. Such an answer made Gu Ke a little unbelievable: "But, a man has three wives and four concubines..."

"Having three wives and four concubines is indeed normal for most people, but for me, Chang An, it's the exact opposite."

Chang An was telling the truth. Although he had been a national protected animal for nearly thirty years before he came here, the modern concept of marriage was already deeply rooted in his mind. In his subconscious, he already had a wife, and the idea of ​​taking a concubine had never even occurred to him.

"What you said... is it true?"

"Father-in-law, I am not a man who cares about the world, nor do I have a big heart, so I naturally will not tolerate other wives and concubines." Chang An smiled at this time, and then said: "What's more, you also know that my life was saved by Gu Niang herself."

"You know everything? Was it Li'er who told you?" Gu Ke asked, a little surprised.

"That's right," Chang An said, "My life was saved by Gu Niang. I belong to her completely and I can't share it with another woman."

"But I am sincere to Gu Niang, so you can rest assured, father-in-law."

After listening to this, Gu Ke also sighed and said, "If that's the case, I am judging others by my own standards."

"I dare not, I dare not. You are my father-in-law, my elder. How can you compare me to a villain?" Chang An raised his hand to salute and bowed, saying, "You are Gu Niang's father. It is normal for you to have such thoughts. It is also my fault that I did not give you enough confidence before. It should be my fault."

"Oh my, you are so serious." Gu Ke quickly helped him up, "Good son-in-law, we have said so much, they must have been waiting for a long time."

"it is good."

So, Gu Ke sorted out his emotions and pulled Chang An back to Gu Li and the others.

"Father, are you also going to embarrass Chang Lang?"

After Chang An was taken away by Gu Ke, Gu Li had been paying attention to them. She noticed that for a while, both of them looked a little off. In addition, she had heard many people say bad things about Chang An before, so she naturally had some doubts in her heart. Now that Gu Ke brought Chang An back, she questioned him angrily.

"No, my father-in-law just came to ask me some questions, to ask how Madam Gu is doing in our Chang Mansion."

Gu Ke was a little embarrassed at this time and didn't know how to answer, but Chang An took the initiative to speak and helped Gu Ke out.

"But, I just saw Chang Lang and his father had very serious expressions for a while. What's going on?" Gu Li asked again, obviously a little unconvinced.

"Because I told you that you had a fever a while ago." Chang An's mind turned quickly and he continued to make up stories... Oh no, he explained: "Your lung disease was caused by a high fever. This time, your father-in-law was afraid that you would have another disease, so he was a little nervous."

"Really?" Gu Li frowned his pretty little eyebrows and turned to look at Gu Ke.

Gu Ke also nodded and replied quickly: "Yes, Li'er, you know that you are in poor health. Our whole family is always nervous when you get sick."

Although Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo didn't know what Gu Ke and Chang An had said, there must be some things that they couldn't tell Gu Li. Out of tacit understanding between men, they quickly interrupted and said:

"Li'er, you had a fever a while ago? Why didn't you tell us?"

"Yeah, even if we didn't say it at the time, we all feel a little scared now that we say it."

Chang An then said, "I was negligent. I was so busy looking for a doctor and taking care of Gu Niang that I forgot to inform my father-in-law and my two brothers."

"Forget it, forget it. Li'er's illness has been cured. What's the point of saying this now?" Gu Baizhi waved his hand.

"Remember next time. Even if Li'er is slightly ill, you must send someone to inform us. We only have one sister, right?"

"My two elder brothers are right."

Gu Li suddenly felt that he was being too aggressive, and it seemed that he had even caused his own family member, Chang Lang, to apologize to them. He was at a loss what to do, so he quietly walked to Chang An, pulled his sleeve, and asked in a low voice:

"Am I being a little aggressive?"

"It's nothing," Chang An gently patted the little hand that was pulling his sleeve and comforted her.

Although Chang An comforted him, Gu Li still lowered his head a little embarrassedly. At this time, Chang An exchanged glances with the two brothers Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo. Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo also nodded slightly at him, and the three of them secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Like the tacit understanding between men!

"By the way, Yonghe, do you know what Li'er likes to eat the most?" Gu Huashuo asked again, as if to change the subject.

"It seems to be spareribs," Chang An said, and deliberately glanced at Gu Li on the side, and then continued with a hint of sarcasm: "Every time we make spareribs, Gu Niang is always the one who eats the most. She doesn't look like a lady at all."

"Yes, it's spare ribs." said Gu Baizhi.

"Hey, Chang Lang, what are you talking about again?" Gu Li saw Chang An making fun of him in front of his brother, and immediately patted him embarrassedly, and then muttered softly: "It's so embarrassing..."

Seeing that the topic was over, Gu Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's getting late. Li'er is not in good health. Son-in-law, you should take her back first."

"Okay." Chang An saw that Gu Li was so shy and thought there was nothing he could do, so he agreed and left with Gu Li.

The two of them left Jianfu Temple and got on the carriage. Chang An said, "Let's go back home. Let's buy some buns on the way back."

Gu Li sat in the carriage, listening to this, and felt something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he didn't say anything. Until the carriage stopped at a place, Chang An got off and got on again, the only difference was that there was a bun in his hand.

Chang An stuffed one of the buns into Gu Li's hand and said, "This meat bun is hot, eat it quickly, Madam Gu."

As he said that, he picked up a meat bun, put it in his mouth and took a bite. Gu Li then remembered what was wrong, so he asked, "Chang Lang, don't you dislike buns?"

"No, who told you that?" Chang An was stunned for a moment and asked, leaving half a bun in his hand.

"Nothing, nothing. Is Chang Lang hungry?" Gu Li thought for a moment and felt that Chang Lang must be a little hungry, so he handed over the meat bun that he had not touched yet and said, "If you are hungry, give mine to Chang Lang."

"It's okay, you eat too, Mother Gu. I would be so embarrassed if I eat and you don't." Chang An said with a smile, and with half a bun stuffed in his mouth, he looked a little silly at this moment.

"Yeah." Gu Li looked at him and smiled, then put the bun in his mouth and took a bite.
