My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li
Chapter 189 Zhang Jiazhen Returns to Beijing
"Hello, madam." Uncle Qian and Mrs. Xu both bowed respectfully to Cui Yu.
"Our house is not big, and the household affairs will be left to you to take care of in the future," said Wang Wei.
"Yes, Alang."
At this time, Cui Yu saw Chang An and Gu Li hugging each other and whispering, and asked, "Mr. Chang, Ms. Gu, how about staying for lunch today?"
Gu Li finally reacted at this time. After looking at Chang An, he shook his head and refused: "Thank you for your kindness, Madam Gu. We have already prepared the food at home, so I won't bother you any more."
At this time, Wang Wei also tried to persuade him to stay, saying, "Brother Yonghe, it's rare to see meat today, please stay and have a meal."
But Chang An picked up Gu Li and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Mo Jie, I'll listen to Mother Gu. Let's save today's meal for the full moon banquet."
Wang Wei had no choice but to give up and said, "Brother Yonghe, Madam Gu, please go slowly."
"Farewell."
After saying that, Chang An carried Gu Li into the carriage and slowly left as Wang Wei's family watched.
Sitting in the carriage, Gu Li was still held in Chang An's arms. Chang An was still teasing her soft face and asked, "How is it, Gu Niang? Did you cause trouble for Madam Cui today?"
"No, I'm very good..." Gu Li said, and suddenly reacted, blushing and said:
"I'm seventeen years old now, and I'm a mother, not a child anymore!"
"I am seventeen years old now, and I am a mother, not a child anymore."
Chang An seemed to have expected this, and the two voices appeared at the same time. Gu Li felt even more embarrassed when he heard this, puffed up his cheeks, and said with grievance:
"Chang Lang bullied me again."
Chang An rubbed Gu Li's face fondly and said, "How could I bully Gu Niang?"
"Hmph..." Gu Li snorted in a pretentious manner, and then asked, "By the way, Chang Lang, why did you come back so late just now? Did you go to the East Market?"
"Yes, when I was on my way to the Imperial College this morning, I suggested to Brother Mojie that he buy two servants to take care of Madam Cui. So we went to the pawnshop to buy servants just now." Chang An said.
Gu Li nodded and agreed: "It is indeed troublesome if no one takes care of it."
"Then Brother Mojie is a believer in Buddhism and doesn't eat much meat on weekdays, so I asked him to buy some meat every day to nourish Madam Cui's body." Chang An said again.
"It should be so..." Gu Li tapped his chin and began to think about what would happen in the future.
……
On Zhuque Street, a carriage was moving slowly. Inside the carriage sat an old man in formal and luxurious clothes, and beside him sat a personal servant.
"My Lord, where are we going now?"
"Let's go to Anyifang first. After we put our luggage away, we will go into the palace to meet the emperor." said the old man.
The old man was wearing a purple official uniform, a jade belt around his waist, a goldfish bag, and a three-beam Jinxian crown on his head. He also wore a fur crown with seven tassels, and his clothes were embroidered with five chapter patterns.
Obviously, this is something that only the prime minister in the entire Tang Dynasty can wear.
The old man sitting in the carriage clearly felt the carriage turn. He lifted the curtain slightly, and the memorial archway of Anrenfang appeared before his eyes.
Suddenly, the driver stopped the car, and the old man asked, "Why did you stop?"
"Sir, there is a carriage ahead."
The old man leaned forward slightly and saw a carriage approaching not far from her ex-husband. He looked around and saw that it was a relatively narrow road with many pedestrians on both sides and some small vendors, so only one car could pass.
At this time, the old man heard the driver of the carriage opposite say to the carriage: "My Lord, Madam, there is a carriage on the opposite side that cannot pass. Should we give way or wait?"
"Let go." A young man's voice came from the carriage.
Then the old man saw the driver turn the car around and find an empty space to park. The driver said, "Sir, please make way on the other side."
"Then let's go."
The old man suddenly became interested in the person in the car. From the voice, it was obviously a young man, but the driver addressed him as "Lord".
"Why don't I remember that there is such a young marquis in the Tang Dynasty?" The old man narrowed his eyes slightly and said in a low voice.
The carriage continued forward and soon met the carriage in front. The old man then saw that the other party had also lifted the curtain - the other party was a young man, with an even younger and more beautiful woman sitting in his arms. The man had no crown on his head and the woman had a bun on her head. It was obvious that they were a couple.
There was only a young woman dressed as a maid in the other party's car, and it was obvious that the so-called marquis was the young man.
At this time, the old man looked at the young marquis who just nodded slightly at him without any noble airs, which made him a little stunned.
The carriage passed by and the old man lowered the curtain.
In the other carriage, the man had just lowered the curtain when his brows suddenly frowned. The woman keenly caught his expression and asked:
"What's wrong, Chang Lang? Is there something wrong with that person just now?"
Chang An shook his head and said, "There is nothing wrong. The man just now should be the newly appointed prime minister."
"Prime Minister? How did Chang Lang know?" Gu Li was a little confused.
"I have only seen officials wearing this kind of clothes before you were dismissed from your post," Chang An explained, "because this is the kind of outfit only the prime minister of our Tang Dynasty can wear."
In fact, not only that, Chang An even knew the other party's identity - Zhang Jiazhen! According to the order of official history, after Song Jing and Su Ke were dismissed, Zhang Jiazhen was appointed as prime minister. Currently, only Zhang Jiazhen can wear such clothes.
"Oh, I see." Gu Li nodded in understanding, "Chang Lang is really amazing. He knew the other person's identity with just one look."
Gu·Little Flatterer·Li boasted like this, which made Chang An very happy. He gave Gu Li a big kiss on the cheek.
Suddenly, there was a "gurgling" sound, and the man and two women in the car were stunned for a moment. Then Gu Li blushed and covered his stomach with his hand.
"Is my Daguai hungry?" Chang An teased with a smile.
Gu Li nodded and said, "A little bit..."
Chang An smiled and scratched her cheek, saying, "Dear Gu Niang, can you bear with it for a while? We are already back to Anrenfang."
"it is good!"
......
After lunch, Li Longji dealt with memorials in Xingqing Palace as usual. Because he had issued an imperial edict some time ago, ordering the whole Tang Dynasty to be vaccinated against cowpox, and now was the time to report, so naturally there were quite a few memorials submitted.
Just as Li Longji was checking the vaccination situation, an eunuch ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang is back."
"Oh?" Li Longji raised his head. "Where is he?"
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Zhang is waiting outside the palace now."
Upon hearing this, Li Longji put down his pen and said, "Xuan!"
The eunuch agreed, turned around and went out to welcome Zhang Jiazhen in. As expected, it was the old man in the carriage just now. Zhang Jiazhen knelt down and said loudly to Li Longji:
"I bow before your majesty, long live my emperor!"
"Prime Minister Zhang, please stand up!" Li Longji hurried forward to greet him, helped Zhang Jiazhen up, and then said, "Someone, serve tea to Prime Minister Zhang!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Li Longji walked back to the throne and sat down, asking, "Prime Minister Zhang, you have been exhausted from the journey, did you have a rest?"
Zhang Jiazhen smiled and said, "I came to the capital today, but I have not seen the Holy Body yet, so I dare not rest."
"Prime Minister Zhang has come to Beijing again. Do you feel any changes in the city?" Li Longji asked.
"Your Majesty, of course there are." At this time, the tea was served. Zhang Jiazhen took the tea and continued, "Nowadays, my Tang Dynasty has produced many talented people. Even those who have not yet reached adulthood have been conferred the title of marquis. This really surprises me."
Zhang Jiazhen was being jealous. She was also 19 years old, and she had just passed the imperial examination and was a ninth-rank official. But the young man she met on the street today was actually a marquis.
Li Longji was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Prime Minister Zhang, you are talking about Marquis Dingkang and Lady Zichuan, right? As husband and wife, they have made contributions to the fight against money corruption and have found a way to prevent smallpox for the Tang Dynasty. They should be rewarded for their contributions."
"If I am not mistaken, there is a scar on Prime Minister Zhang's right arm, which is exactly the preventive method that Ding Kanghou has researched."
At this moment, Zhang Jiazhen finally remembered and lifted up his sleeve. Sure enough, a new pink scar was left on it. This was what he had to do when the imperial edict was issued, and he was sick for several days because of it.
"From what Prime Minister Zhang said just now, he must have met Marquis Dingkang on the street, right?" Li Longji said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, that's right." Zhang Jiazhen admitted.
"What kind of person does Prime Minister Zhang think Dingkang Hou is?" Li Longji asked again.
"He is a young talent, and his behavior is well-behaved. At such a young age, he can manage bad money and prevent smallpox. If he is nurtured, he will surely be a great talent in the future."
Li Longji nodded. When had his vision ever been bad? It was this guy who was inflexible and the princess was unwilling to marry him. When he thought of this, Li Longji felt inexplicably angry.
"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister Zhang. We just returned to Chang'an today and will attend the morning court tomorrow." Li Longji adjusted his mood and said.
Zhang Jiazhen nodded slightly at this time and said, "This is what I should do."
Li Longji nodded and continued, "Then I'll trouble Prime Minister Zhang for now. If there's nothing else, Prime Minister Zhang can go back and rest."
Zhang Jiazhen finished the tea in the cup and handed it to the eunuch beside him. At this time, Cheng Gonggong came over and was about to send him away, but Li Longji stopped him:
"Eunuch Cheng, please don't bother me."
Eunuch Cheng then returned to Li Longji's side, and another person went to see Zhang Jiazhen off.
"Your Majesty, I take my leave."
