My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Just as the two of them were happily playing with tea bowls in the room, Huaiqin's voice suddenly came from outside the door:

"Sir, Sanniang, Mr. Gao Shi is here."

Chang An and Gu Li put down their tea bowls and looked at each other. At this moment, Chang An suddenly noticed a hint of displeasure on Gu Li's face.

He reached out and pinched Gu Li's cheek, thinking that Gao Shi's arrival had ruined Gu Li's mood, so he asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy that the guests have come?"

"No, I don't like that Gao Shi." Gu Li pouted.

"Why?" Chang An frowned in confusion.

"Because Chang Lang had a duel with Gao Shi last time, I'm afraid he's going to have another duel with Chang Lang."

Hearing Gu Li's reason, Chang An couldn't help but smile. He lowered his head and kissed Gu Li on the cheek, saying, "I won't compete again. Don't worry, don't be unhappy."

But Gu Li continued to maintain his aggrieved expression, and Huaiqin outside spoke again:

"Sir, Third Lady, Mr. Gao is here."

Seeing Gu Li like this, Chang An could only pat her head gently, and then shouted towards the door: "Bring him in."

At this point, Gu Li had no choice but to put away his unhappy mood, consciously left Chang An's arms, and sat aside. At this time, the door of the room was opened, Huai Qin walked in, followed by Gao Shi, who seemed to be holding a basket in his hand.

"Huaiqin, go prepare another tea bowl." Chang An first instructed Huaiqin.

"Yes, sir." Huaiqin left, leaving Gao Shi standing at the door.

"Brother Gao, my wife is not in good health, so I can only let you in." Chang An raised his hand and greeted Gao Shi, "Please sit down."

Gao Shi also came over and sat down at the low table. He raised his hand and saluted Chang An and Gu Li one after another, saying, "Brother Chang, Madam Gu."

"Brother Gao, why are you here today?" Chang An asked.

"It's like this. After Brother Chang introduced me to Gao Shi some time ago, Gao Shi has been studying at home." Gao Shi said, "But Gao Shi is not very talented and has not learned much. When I was reading recently, I found a few things that I didn't understand. I would like to ask Brother Chang to give me some advice."

Gao Shi then placed the basket between himself and Chang An, and opened it to see that besides a few books, there were also a few eggs and a string of pork. He took out his own books, and then pushed the basket towards Chang An, saying:

"This is the first time Gao Shi has come to visit me, and he has something to ask for, so I have prepared some gifts. I hope Brother Chang will not despise them."

"Brother Gao, you are too polite." Chang An waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "I wonder what and why Brother Gao is confused?"

Gao Shi opened one of the books and found that some of the pages were folded, which might be the part he didn't understand. He handed the book to Chang An and said, "These are the ones above."

Chang An took the book and took a look at it. The contents of those dozen or so pages with folded corners were quite difficult. Although they were not difficult for the students in the Imperial College, they were much more difficult for someone like Gao Shi who studied on his own.

At this time, Huaiqin also brought in a tea bowl and placed it in front of Gao Shi. Chang'an also put some tea leaves into Gao Shi's tea bowl, and then poured some hot snow water into his tea bowl.

"Thank you, Brother Chang."

"You're welcome." Chang An put the book back in front of Gao Shi. "I've read the above parts, and they are indeed difficult."

"Then... I wonder if you know, Brother Chang?" Seeing Chang An like this, Gao Shi became inexplicably nervous.

"Of course I know," Chang An couldn't help but find it a little funny when he heard the question, "Come on, Brother Gao, where do you want to start?"

Gao Shi quickly opened the book and started asking questions from the front folded page. Chang An explained the questions on each page to Gao Shi in a relatively simple way. Before long, Chang An explained all the questions in the book to Gao Shi, and Gao Shi remembered them silently in his mind.

While Gao Shi was still trying to understand what he had just said, Chang An noticed several other books beside Gao Shi. He then quietly glanced at Gu Li who was sitting next to him. She was silently doing her embroidery. When she was thirsty or coughing, she would take a sip of hot tea from the teacup. She was doing her needlework in this way, threading the needle very quickly, but there was no expression on her face.

Gao Shi may not be able to see this little bit of abnormality, but Chang An can definitely see it - Gu Li is angry. On one side is his most beloved wife, so he has to coax her; on the other side is a friend who trusts him, so he has to help him. Chang An is in a dilemma.

Chang An had no choice but to ask Gao Shi: "Brother Gao, is there anything else you don't understand?"

"Not for the time being," Gao Shi put on the book and said, "I've been studying this book recently. These problems are really difficult to study out, otherwise I wouldn't have come to Brother Fanchang."

This meant that Gao Shi had nothing else to ask, so Chang An breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Gao, have some tea."

"Thank you." Gao Shi also picked up the tea bowl and took a sip.

At this time, Chang An thought for a while, then stood up and went to his desk to look around. Seeing that he didn't find the book he wanted, he turned his attention to his bookshelves. He looked around the bookshelves again and finally found the book he was looking for.

He brought the whole set of books and put them in Gao Shi's hands.

"Brother Chang, what is this?" Gao Shi asked in confusion, looking at the whole set of books in his hand.

"I see that the books that Brother Gao is reading should be the Book of Songs. I happen to have a set of annotations to the Book of Songs here. Brother Gao can take it back. With the help of the annotations, perhaps you will understand it better."

Gao Shi knew how valuable such annotated books were to scholars, so he quickly pushed the annotations to the Book of Songs to Chang An and said, "Brother Chang, I can't accept it. What will happen to you if I accept it?"

Chang An waved his hand and said, "I have already mastered the Three Classics and am currently studying the Book of Changes. The Book of Songs is of no use to me for the time being."

"Besides, this is considered as a loan from me to you, Brother Gao. When you graduate from high school, you can return it to me. How about that?"

Gao Shi saw that Chang An had said so, and if he refused again, it would be a bit disrespectful, so he nodded and said, "Then Gao Shi will take it back for the time being to study it, and will definitely return it to Brother Chang."

Chang An took a sip of tea, and Gao Shi beside him drank the tea in the tea bowl in one gulp, then stood up and said to Chang An: "Brother Chang, I am sorry to bother you today. Gao Shi will take his leave first."

"Okay." Chang An nodded.

Gao Shi picked up the book and left the room. Huaiqin was in the pavilion outside. After seeing Gao Shi leave, she went into Chang'an's room and cleaned up the tea bowls Gao Shi had used. At this time, Chang'an pointed to the basket next to him and said:

"This is the souvenir that Brother Gao brought. You can take it to the kitchen."

"Yes, son."

Huaiqin picked up the basket and left. Only Chang An and Gu Li were left in the room. Chang An quickly came to Gu Li's side, took the embroidery silk and needlework from her hands, and wanted to hug her, but Gu Li didn't appreciate it and raised her hand to slap Chang An's hand away.

"Mother Gu?" Chang An called out twice tentatively, "Mother Gu?"

"Brother Gao is gone."

But Gu Li still didn't turn to look at him. Instead, he picked up the tea bowl on the table with an expressionless face and took a sip.

"Mother Gu? Why are you angry?" Chang An was a little at a loss at this time. He quickly moved closer to Gu Li and took her little hand and shook it.

Gu Li still didn't speak, but he didn't pull his hand out of Chang An's palm either.

"Is it because of Brother Gao?" Chang An asked again tentatively, "Is it because Gu Niang doesn't like Brother Gao, and Chang Lang brought Brother Gao in, which made Gu Niang angry?"

But Gu Li's behavior at this time was just like a certain modern system prompt that could make people angry: the system was unresponsive and had no intention of paying attention to Chang An. Chang An couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, so he took Gu Li's hand and brainstormed for a while. He seemed to have thought of a solution, then cleared his throat and said in a pretentious manner:

"Daji, why don't you hurry into my arms?"

Only then did Gu Li smile, picked up the tea bowl in front of him and put it to Chang An's mouth, "This is the teacup I just used, I wonder if the king would like to have a sip?"

Chang An finally understood that she was not angry just now, but wanted Chang An to continue playing with her. So, he smiled gently, took the tea bowl from Gu Li with one hand, and pulled her into his arms with the other hand, then took a sip of the tea in the tea bowl.

"Hmm... sweet." Chang An leaned over and tasted Gu Li's red lips. "This one is even sweeter."

At this time, Gu Li snatched the tea bowl back from Chang An's hand, wrinkled his nose and snorted at him.

"I thought my dear Gu Niang was angry, but your Chang Lang was scared to death." Chang An stretched out his finger and gently poked Gu Li's little nose.

"Angry, of course I'm angry." Gu Li put the tea bowl in his hand on the table, then stretched out his little hand and slapped Chang An hard several times.

"Chang Lang was supposed to play with me, but a customer came and interrupted the game for a while. And just now, Chang Lang didn't even plan to continue. Of course, I was angry."

Chang An smiled, hugged Gu Li in his arms again, rubbed his face against Gu Li's face, and said lovingly: "My baby Gu Niang is already seventeen years old, a grown-up girl, why do you still love to play so much?"

"I don't like playing." Gu Li moved his face away and opened his mouth as if to bite Chang An's nose. Chang An also cooperated by moving his head back and avoiding Gu Li's attack.

"Isn't this called playing?"

Chang An also imitated what Gu Li had just done, opening his mouth as if to bite Gu Li's little nose, but Gu Li directly stretched out one arm to wrap around Chang An's neck, and covered his mouth with the other hand, forcing him to close his mouth. As if he felt that Chang An's mouth was closed, Gu Li moved his hand away, and then quickly left a mark on Chang An's lips.

"Yes, liking to play with Chang Lang and liking to play are two different things."

After doing something bad, Gu Li wanted to escape from Chang An's arms, but Chang An's hands were very strong. Just as Gu Li was about to move, he was pulled back into Chang An's arms.

"You're just like running after playing a bad game?"

Gu Li listened to Chang An's "vicious" questioning and quickly pretended to be pitiful:

"Chang Lang, I was wrong..."
