My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"By the way, sir." Chang An had just agreed to Song Jing's request, and suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked:

"Besides us and the present generation, does anyone else know about the news of the governance of evil money?"

"There are still some officials who are completely trustworthy," Song Jing replied, "but the criminals we have found are almost arriving in Chang'an."

"It will probably not take many days for the prisoners to be escorted to Beijing. By then, the news will spread quickly and many people will know about it."

"You are a talented person. Even the present is protecting you. All I can do is to try my best to keep you in this matter until it is resolved."

"This..." Chang An felt a little amused, and said, "But sir, you can take all the credit for my contribution, and the reward you give me is actually dispensable."

"The students didn't have any thoughts on the rewards, they just simply put forward my ideas."

"You want me to take all the credit? I'm afraid that won't work. The least serious consequence is that I will be impeached. The worst consequence is that it will affect the government and the country, causing the ministers to act in a targeted manner, which is not good for the people or the country."

Song Jing smiled and explained, "You want me to die anyway. If that's the case, then as a teacher, I might as well use this opportunity to give you, my student, a push. As long as you don't disappoint me and the current emperor, it may not be a bad thing."

"But students don't really want to be pushed..." Chang An scratched his hair, pointed at Gu Li who was sitting next to him, and said, "I have a wife now, so..."

Song Jing also understood the temper of this student. He pointed at him and scolded him with a smile: "I know that you are just thinking about your wife every day. But no matter what, you have to be the one to take the limelight this time!"

Chang An turned his head helplessly at this time and looked at Gu Li. The other party also read the emotions in his eyes, reached out and held his hand, and squeezed it gently.

"Prime Minister Song is here!"

The teacher and student were wondering how to continue the communication when they heard Chang Wenmeng's voice coming from outside.

"Prime Minister Song has come here today. Is there anything you can do to find my son?" Chang Wenmeng walked over and asked with a smile.

"Where is the dog?" Prime Minister Song said, "Will it still be called the dog after a while?"

Chang Wenmeng laughed dryly and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"Of course something happened, and it's a happy event!" Song Jing said, "Yonghe's method is effective, and the matter in a county has been investigated!"

"Really!" Chang Wenmeng came to the pavilion at this time and was a little excited.

"Of course it's true. Even the current emperor knows about this kid!" Song Jing pointed at Chang An and said with a smile, "He was almost going to issue an imperial decree to reward him today!"

"A little bit worse?" Chang Wenmeng was a little confused. "Why is it a little bit worse?"

"Because things have only just begun to show results, if we give out rewards too early it will inevitably involve the two of them. It would be better for the current ruler to postpone it and make plans after this matter is resolved." Song Jing explained.

"I see." Chang Wenmeng nodded.

"Okay, okay, it's time for lunch at Dr. Chang's house. I won't bother you any more and will take my leave now."

Song Jing stood up, nodded slightly, and left. Chang Wenmeng glanced at Chang An, pointed at him and said with a smile, "You are really good, you little bastard," and then stood up and followed Song Jing, intending to see him off.

Chang An, who was finally freed, breathed a sigh of relief at this time.

"Chang Lang is so awesome!"

At this time, Gu Li said, Chang An looked at her, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Mrs. Gu, did you understand what the master just said?"

"Hmm... Didn't Prime Minister Song just say that Chang Lang had made great contributions, and the current emperor wanted to reward Chang Lang?" Gu Li blinked and said, "But I just can't tell what kind of great contribution Chang Lang has made."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's better if Madam Gu doesn't know." Chang An reached out and patted her head, then stood up. "It's still a little cold outside, let's go back to the house."

"Good!" Gu Li nodded. "Chang Lang is so amazing. He can actually make contributions to the present emperor. By the way, what will the present emperor reward Chang Lang with when the time comes? Will it be gold or beautiful cloth?"

"The present emperor is wise and wise. How can we influence his will?"

"That's right..."

"Ah!" After returning to the house, Chang An just closed the door and heard Gu Li scream: "I forgot."

"What's wrong? Did Madam Gu forget something?" Chang An raised his eyebrows and asked.

"The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and I forgot to buy lanterns..." Gu Li said this, and suddenly felt that he might have said something wrong, so he quickly covered his mouth.

"Forgot to buy lanterns?" Chang An was a little confused. "Why do we need to buy lanterns? Isn't there a curfew during the Lantern Festival? We can just go to the streets to enjoy the lanterns then. Why do we need to buy lanterns?"

"Um..." Gu Li hesitated at this time, "I just want to buy some lanterns and then... then hang them up at home. It will be so festive."

Chang An was amused. Seeing her hesitant look, he knew what she was thinking.

So Chang An reached out and pinched her cheek, then moved closer to her and said, "Are you hiding something from me again?"

"Ah... I... I don't... I don't have any ulterior motives..."

"Really?" Chang An narrowed his eyes slightly, "I can read Gu Niang's mind."

"Really...really not..."

Gu Li was a little nervous at this time, and the fingers of her two little hands were entangled together in a bit of confusion. But Chang An did not respond to her words, but stared at her straight, making her blush. If Chang An continued to ask questions, she would be in a state of fainting.

Seeing that he had been "threatened" to this extent, Gu Li still did not reveal his little thoughts. If he continued to threaten, something might happen.

So, Chang An slowly straightened up and stopped scaring her. Gu Li came back to her senses at this time. Her heels were weak under Chang An's "threat" just now, so she staggered two steps and almost lost her balance.

Chang An smiled, picked her up lovingly, and placed her next to the coffee table.

"Why is Mrs. Gu so tight-lipped that she can't even tell Chang Lang?" Chang An said with a smile.

"I don't have any ulterior motives..." Gu Li was still being stubborn, as if he was planning to keep this little secret hidden forever.

"Forget it, forget it. The old rules apply. If you want to say it, Madam Gu, say it. If you don't want to say it, don't say it." Chang An moved closer to Gu Li's face and kissed her hard, even leaving a faint red mark on her face.

Gu Li also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and quickly poured a glass of water, and then placed it in front of Chang An. He said flatteringly: "Chang Lang, you have worked hard to kiss me, drink some water."

Chang An was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently.

The next day, Chang An wasted half a day in the Imperial College before it was almost noon.

At this time, Zhou Xuezheng also closed the book in his hand and said, "Okay, students, today's class ends here. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so I would like to wish you all a happy Lantern Festival."

At this moment, all the students looked happy, even the drowsy Chang An raised his head.

But Zhou Xuezheng changed the subject and said, "However, I still have to assign some homework so that you will not forget your studies."

As soon as these words came out, the joy on the students' faces froze, which made Chang An feel a little familiar. Because before he returned to the Tang Dynasty, when he was in school, there were always teachers who liked to assign some homework to students before the holidays, so he himself didn't feel anything about this matter.

After Zhou Xuezhen arranged the homework, the bell rang and he waved his hand to let the students go home.

At the same time, Zhen'er got off the carriage at the gate of Chang's house, holding a beautiful lantern in her hand. When she got off the carriage, she stretched her head to look in the direction of the Imperial College, and after confirming that there were no "suspicious" carriages, she trotted into Chang's house.

She ran all the way back to Chang An and Gu Li's room, and as soon as she entered the room, she turned around and closed the door. Gu Li, who was sitting in the room doing embroidery, noticed the movement, put down the embroidery in her hands, and turned to look in the direction of the door.

Zhen'er came directly to the low table with the lantern in her arms, and put it on the table while saying, "Sanniang, the lantern is back. I asked the craftsmen to hurry up and make it."

"Thank you for your hard work," Gu Li said happily, "In this way, Chang Lang will have a Lantern Festival gift!"

"Zhen'er, do you think Chang Lang would be very happy to see this lantern?"

Gu Li was examining the lantern with great joy at this moment, and had already begun to imagine the scene after Chang An saw the lantern.

"How could you not like the things given by Sanniang?" Zhen'er also replied with a smile.

"That's good!" Gu Li clapped his hands, then stood up from the couch and said, "Let's get ready and go outside to welcome Chang Lang."

Gu Li opened the door and stretched out her hand to feel the temperature outside. It was already early spring, and the temperature had risen a lot, so she just put on a cloak and came to the door.

She stood at the door, stretched her head and looked at the other end of the street. Since the beginning of winter last year, Gu Li had never come out to the door and stood for half an incense stick waiting for Chang An to return. So when she came to the door again today, she felt a little familiar.

Soon, the familiar carriage came into her sight, and then slowly came to her. After seeing Chang An half-sticking out of the carriage, she shouted with joy:

"Chang Lang!"

Chang An settled down for a moment, then got off the carriage and came to Gu Li.

"What's wrong? Were you disobedient today and sneaked out to wait for me for so long?" Chang An took her hand, without any blame in his tone.

"It's spring now and it's not that cold anymore. Can't I go out?" Gu Li said coquettishly.

"Yes, yes, yes. I didn't say no!" Chang An smiled and tapped her nose.

Gu Li was pulling Chang An towards the mansion at this time, and said as he walked: "Chang Lang, I have prepared something for you."

"what?"

"Don't tell Chang Lang yet..."
