My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 123 5 Young Men Fight for Head Wraps

After finishing the hot pot, Huaiqin and Zhener came over with a few bowls of food and placed them in front of the four people. Wang Wei and Cui Yu looked at the four bowls of yellow liquid and asked:

"Brother Yonghe, what is this?"

"This is rock sugar and snow pear soup, which can remove heat and moisten the lungs. If you eat this after eating hot pot, you won't have to worry about the greasiness." Gu Li explained first.

After Gu Li finished speaking, she wanted to take the bowl in front of her, but before she started drinking, someone reached out and took the bowl away. Then she felt a light tap on her forehead, and then she heard Chang An say:

"You can't drink rock sugar and snow pear before taking medicine! You can drink it after taking the medicine."

Gu Li realized it a little later and had to take his hand back obediently. He stared at the entrance of the courtyard, hoping that Zhen'er could bring the medicine over quickly.

"Brother Mojie and Madam Cui, you drink first. I will wait for Madam Gu to drink the medicine before I drink." Chang An put the bowl in his hand back on the table and said to Wang Wei and Cui Yu.

"Then we won't be polite." Wang Wei and Cui Yu both nodded slightly to Chang An, then picked up the candied pears.

After drinking it, Wang Wei actually laughed and asked, "Brother Yonghe, did you also make this rock sugar and snow pear soup?"

"That's true." Chang An nodded, and then asked, "What's wrong, Brother Mo Jie? Is it not to your taste?"

"No, I'm just asking, I don't have any other intention." Wang Wei smiled and shook his head.

As Gu Li expected, Zhen'er finally brought the medicine. Gu Li excitedly took the medicine bowl, blew a few times, and then drank it.

At this time, Chang An asked again: "By the way, I haven't seen Brother Gao since the results were announced. Did Brother Gao return home as well?"

"Brother Gao?" Wang Wei was also stunned for a moment, then said, "If Brother Yonghe hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten that Brother Gao went to be a bodyguard for Madam Su Meng some time ago."

Chang An and Gu Li were both stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Wei at the same time.

"Brother Gao...are you going to be Su Meng's bodyguard?" Chang An asked in disbelief.

"I don't know why, but some time ago, probably after the Spring Examination, a lot of people suddenly came to see Madam Su Meng, causing a lot of trouble to her daily life." Wang Wei explained.

"At that time, Brother Gao was looking for a way to make a living until the exam, so he happened to go there."

Chang An asked in disbelief, "And you really got the job?"

Wang Wei nodded.

"What happened to Su Meng? How could it cause so much trouble?" Chang An asked again.

Wang Wei replied: "It is said that many candidates at that time liked Madam Su Meng very much, and after the Spring Examination was over, they all went to find Madam Su Meng. Some of them even said they wanted to redeem Madam Su Meng, and then..."

Chang An knew what was going on before he said anything else. He held his forehead with some helplessness. He knew how high Su Meng's standards were. How could she be so easily deceived by those candidates?

But if Su Meng didn't refuse, she couldn't refuse, so she would always get into trouble, just like some modern stars who are being pursued.

"Young men from Wuling are competing to tie their hair into knots, and there are so many red ribbons to wear for one song, right?" Chang'an sighed and said to himself.

"Brother Yonghe, what did you say?" Wang Wei vaguely heard Chang An's complaints, and then asked.

Chang An waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."

At this time, he turned his attention to Gu Li who was standing beside him. When Gu Li saw him looking at her, she showed the medicine bowl in front of Chang An. After confirming that Gu Li had finished the medicine, Chang An handed the candied pear in his hand to her.

Gu Li also took the bowl with a silly smile and began to drink with relish.

In the Xinluan Restaurant in Pingkangfang, Su Meng sat in her own courtyard, leaning on a stone table with her eyes closed. At this time, the courtyard door was opened, and a man came in with a bunch of boxes and a food box in his hand.

After Su Meng heard the noise, she raised her eyelids and saw the person who came in. He was holding so many boxes that his face was covered. But she could still tell who it belonged to by looking at his figure, so she said helplessly:

"Mr. Gao, I asked you to return a plate, why did you bring back so many things?"

"These are gifts given by those students, who asked me to pass them on to you, Madam Su Meng." Gao Shi replied.

"You don't have to take back the things the students gave you. Isn't it troublesome for you to walk with so many things?"

As he said that, he still walked forward, stood on tiptoe and took down the boxes on the top. Gao Shi's face was revealed. Looking at Su Meng's helpless expression, he smiled foolishly and said:

"These are their gifts to Madam Su Meng, so I took them."

Su Meng sighed, turned around and walked towards the table, and said to Gao Shi: "They gave me a token of their love, but what about you, Mr. Gao? Are you just letting them do their bidding for nothing?"

Gao Shi was stunned for a moment, then said, "This isn't like being ordered around for nothing, right?"

Su Meng piled the gift boxes in her hands on the ground, then stood up and looked at Gao Shi and said, "Did those gentlemen give you any reward?"

"No." Gao Shi stared blankly at Su Meng as she walked over, then took the food box in his hand.

"That's it." Su Meng said, and then took the lunch box into the house. "This kind of busy work has no meaning and no benefits. Why do it?"

"If it's something else of practical significance, you've done a good deed and accumulated merit by helping for free. But does helping to deliver a gift to the Oiran have any meaning to you or others?"

She didn't hear Gao Shi's response, so she felt a little confused, and then she looked up in Gao Shi's direction. Seeing him standing there stupidly, holding those boxes in his hands, she didn't know if he understood or not. She smiled helplessly, and then urged:

"What are you still standing there for? Come over here and put your things down. Aren't you tired of carrying them?"

Gao Shi came back to his senses and quickly ran to Su Meng's side, imitating her and putting the gift box on the ground. Seeing that the boxes were placed in a mess, he reached out and gathered the boxes together. After doing all this, Gao Shi came to the door and planned to close it.

As a result, they just closed the door and turned around before they took two steps, and then they heard another knock on the door. Gao Shi and Su Meng were both a little confused, because no one should come to the door at this time.

"Who is it?" Su Meng shouted towards the door.

"It's me, and Mother Gu." Chang An's voice came from the door.

Su Meng was a little confused, but still signaled Gao Shi to open the door. After opening the door, Chang An and Gu Li also appeared in front of Gao Shi and Su Meng.

"Brother Gao, Su Meng."

"Mr. Gao, sister!"

The two of them greeted each other, and Su Meng looked at Chang An and the other two with some confusion, and asked, "Chang An? Why did you suddenly come today?"

"Because we heard about your situation from Wang Langjun." Gu Li said, "I heard that many people have caused trouble for you recently, so Chang Lang and I decided to come and see you."

"It's nothing, it's just that the candidates have just finished their spring exams and have nothing to do, so they came here." Su Meng said, "But it's not entirely a bad thing, at least our restaurant has more business."

"But they are all coming for you." Chang An and Gu Li walked into the yard, "I didn't expect that the candidates nowadays are so crazy that you have to ask Brother Gao to be your bodyguard."

Su Meng also smiled at this time and said to Chang An: "It's all because of you."

Chang An and Gu Li were both stunned for a moment. Chang An also asked with some amusement: "What does it have to do with me? I didn't instigate them to trouble you."

Su Meng watched Chang An and Gu Li come to the table and sit down, and said, "Because you are married, your Lord Chang is now famous for doting on his wife. Previously, they didn't come because of your face."

"Now that we know you're married, and the Spring Examination has just ended, there's nothing much to do. Aren't all the young masters and students here?"

Gu Li also smiled and said: "That's because you are both talented and beautiful, so many men are attracted to you."

"Forget it. I'm called an oiran just to give her face. If I lose this title, I'll have half the work to do." Su Meng shook her head and smiled.

Gao Shi also came over and stood beside Su Meng, very responsible. At the same time, Gao Shi also said: "But I also heard Madam Su Meng complain that the sons of those high-ranking officials have all come."

"Indeed, the ones who are more troublesome than the candidates are these young masters." Su Meng said this, and pointed to a pile of gift boxes behind him. "These are probably sent by those young masters. This is the fourth batch after the Spring Examination."

Chang An and Gu Li also looked in the direction Su Meng pointed. The pile of gifts, which was about as high as a stone bench, made their eyelids twitch.

"So many..." Gu Li pointed at the boxes with his fingers, "There must be about twenty boxes, right? What are these gifts?"

Su Meng bent down, picked up two boxes and put them on the table, then opened one box, which contained a gold hairpin. Then Su Meng opened the second box, which contained a jade bracelet.

"It seems that these gifts are of great value." Chang An couldn't help but sigh.

"Isn't that right?" Su Meng closed the box and threw it into the pile of gifts behind her. "All the gifts I received are things I don't need. It's troublesome to deal with them every time."

"Deal with it? How do you plan to deal with it, sister?" Gu Li also asked.

At this time, the four heard the sound of the door opening, and the person who walked in was Yuqi. When Su Meng saw Yuqi, he said, "Are you not going to come up with a solution now?"
