My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

After Gu Li and Chang An walked around the store for a while, Gu Li finally found a hairpin he liked on a shelf. It had a plum blossom carved on it.

As soon as she saw the plum blossom hairpin, Gu Li liked it very much. She picked it up and turned around and called out, "Shopkeeper!"

The shopkeeper was introducing diamond jewelry to another young man at the moment. When he heard Gu Li's call, he immediately ran over and said enthusiastically, "Madam Hou, do you have any instructions?"

"How much is this plum blossom hairpin? I want it." Gu Li showed the plum blossom hairpin in his hand to the shopkeeper and asked.

The shopkeeper smiled and replied, "What are you talking about, Madam Hou? I just said that if you want it, I can give it to you. Why do you need to ask the price?"

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, then looked at Chang An who was standing beside him, and heard him say, "It's a kind gift from the shopkeeper, so just accept it."

Gu Li then took the plum blossom hairpin with both hands at ease and said to the shopkeeper, "Thank you very much, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "Madam Hou, you are too polite. Why don't you give the hairpin to me first? I will record it in the account book and pack it for you."

Gu Li nodded and handed the hairpin in his hand to the shopkeeper. Soon, the shopkeeper came back with a box, handed it to Gu Li, and said, "Madam Hou, I have packed this hairpin for you, please take it."

After Gu Li thanked him again, he and Chang An left directly. When they got on the carriage, Huaiqin and Zhen'er were already sitting on it. The carriage started slowly, and Gu Li opened the box, took out the plum blossom hairpin from it, and played with it carefully in his hand.

Chang An asked: "Why did Gu Niang choose this hairpin? There are other hairpins that are better looking."

Gu Li took off the hairpin on his head and replaced it with a plum blossom hairpin, saying, "Because Chang Lang likes plum blossoms, and this hairpin is also very beautiful."

Since when, Gu Li discovered that Chang An liked all kinds of plum blossom decorations on him, so he also began to like collecting jewelry or clothes related to plum blossoms.

"You just love to please people." Chang An pinched Gu Li's cheek, then said to the driver, "Let's go to the carpenter's shop again."

"Why does Chang Lang still want to go to the carpenter shop?" Gu Li asked with some confusion.

"Go get a chair." Chang An explained, "It's for Gu Niang."

Gu Li was still confused - weren't there a lot of chairs and stools at home? Why did they still need to make them? But she didn't ask any more questions, and quietly followed Chang An to the carpenter's shop.

She followed Chang An into the carpenter's shop, and when the owner of the carpenter's shop saw Chang An, he came forward and greeted him, "Marquis Dingkang, are you here to pick up a chair today?"

Chang An nodded and asked, "How's it going?"

"It's ready. Please wait here, Lord Dingkang. I'll get it for you right away." The boss turned around and went to the backyard, and when he came out, he had a pair of chairs in his hands.

The chair looked normal, but there was a hole where people sat, which looked a bit strange.

The boss placed the chair in front of Chang An and said, "Marquis Dingkang, please take a look and see if it is sturdy and meets your requirements."

Chang An reached out and touched the chair. It was very sturdy. Even the four legs of the chair were specially treated to prevent slipping. Then he helped Gu Li over and said, "Mother Gu, can you try sitting on it?"

Gu Li looked at this strange chair, but it was something Chang Lang made for her. Although it was strange, she still liked it. She tried to sit on it, and Chang An asked:

"How do you feel? Is the seat comfortable?"

"It's okay, it felt a little strange when I was sitting." Gu Li stood up and replied.

Chang An nodded and said, "This is for Gu Niang."

Afterwards, Chang An paid the silver and said, "Please help me deliver it to your house later. The shipping fee is here."

"Okay." The carpenter boss responded and watched the couple leave.

Back in the carriage, Gu Li asked, "Chang Lang, what is this strange chair used for?"

Chang An looked at the two maids sitting beside them, and simply leaned close to Gu Li's ear and whispered, "This is for Madam Gu to use when she has to relieve herself in the future."

Gu Li blushed at this moment and asked, "Why?"

"Mrs. Gu, your belly has grown bigger over time, right? It's not convenient for her to bend over like this." Chang An said.

"Oh." Gu Li finally understood, and then smiled sweetly: "Thank you, Chang Lang."

......

The next two days of summer solstice were over, and Chang An was going to return to the Imperial College to continue his classes. Gu Li also got up early as usual to help Chang An change clothes and wash up, and then sent him to the door.

When seeing Chang An off, Gu Li patted his clothes and said, "Chang Lang, remember to come back early."

"I'll run out as soon as the get out of class is over and then ask the driver to come back as fast as he can, how about that?" Chang An said with a smile.

"Of course."

Chang An smiled and touched Gu Li's face. After kissing him goodbye at the door as usual, he got on the carriage and left.

Gu Li returned to the yard at this time, and Chang Qi and Chang Qi just came in with baskets and cloth. Chang An didn't have classes a few days ago, so the two sisters didn't come. Today, Chang An went to school, so they naturally came to teach him how to weave clothes.

Today, Gu Li was able to knit a set of clothes smoothly, and the next step was to sew the details of the edges. As usual, Chang Qi explained and demonstrated it herself, and then Gu Li decided to try it herself.

But at this moment, Zhen'er came in and said, "Sanniang, Mr. Fang is here."

While talking, Gu Li also saw Fang Yi standing behind Zhen'er. She put down her needlework and said to the Chang Qi sisters, "Sister Qi and sister Qi, you two should go out first. We will continue later."

"Yes, Sanniang."

Chang Qi and her sister followed Zhen Er out, and Gu Li asked, "Ayi, what's up today?"

"Nothing, just... just came to see you." Fang Yi said hesitantly, then pointed at the needlework and fabrics on the table and asked, "Li'er, what are you doing?"

"I'm learning how to weave clothes." Gu Li explained.

"Weaving clothes?"

Gu Li nodded and said, "I want to learn how to weave clothes, and then make some beautiful clothes for Xiaoguai and Changlang."

Fang Yi was a little confused and asked, "But can't these clothes be bought? Why do I have to learn how to make them myself?"

"After all, the meaning of buying something and knitting it yourself is different." Gu Li said, and picked up the needle and thread again and began to sew patterns on the ready-made garment.

"Almost all the gifts Chang Lang gave me were made by himself, but the things I gave to Chang Lang were all bought. Chang Lang is so good to me, so of course I can't treat Chang Lang badly."

Fang Yi listened to her talk, and every word she said was about Chang An. Suddenly he didn't know what to say, and then he thought about it again and again, and asked directly: "Forget it, Li'er, I just... have a few questions to ask you."

"What's the problem? Ask it." Gu Li didn't even raise her head as she continued knitting the clothes in her hands.

"What was it like on your wedding day?" Fang Yi asked.

"What else can it be? I am just like other people's wives." Gu Li smiled and continued, "If I have to say that I am different, it's the five songs of makeup."

Fang Yi asked again: "Li'er, how have you been since you got married?"

"It's always been fine. Chang Lang has always been very good to me." Gu Li replied simply.

Fang Yi continued to ask: "Li'er, were you willing to marry him at that time?"

"Yes, of course I am." Gu Li answered without hesitation, but suddenly felt something was wrong, so he stopped what he was doing, looked at Fang Yi, and asked, "Ayi, why are you asking that?"

"I..." Fang Yi was at a loss for words, and then he answered hesitantly, "I just wanted to ask."

"Ayi, have you heard the gossip in the streets?"

Gu Li also knew the truth that "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being fat". Previously, his marriage with Chang An was often criticized, and there were many bad rumors circulating in the streets. Even now, Chang An's reputation as a "pampered wife" spread throughout Chang'an, and he became a marquis who could eat real estate, but there were still many rumors.

However, due to Chang'an's high status, those rumors dare not spread, but Dahei dare not. If they were spread to Chang'an and he reported them, he would be beheaded.

"No, Li'er, I'm just simply afraid that Chang Yonghe will treat you badly." Fang Yi explained quickly.

"But what does this have to do with you, Ayi?" Gu Li looked at him at this time, with a hint of anger in his eyes, and stared at him so hard that Fang Yi became a little nervous.

Gu Li was not a fool, she could naturally understand why Fang Yi asked such a strange question, either he was dissatisfied with Chang An or he had ulterior motives. But no matter which one it was, it was Gu Li's weak spot, and she would never allow such a situation to happen in front of her.

"Have I told you, Ayi, not to say such things again in the future?"

Fang Yi swallowed his saliva. Gu Li was obviously really angry. Then he heard her say:

"Those people in the market can say it, but at least they don't dare to spread it around, let alone spread it to us. Everyone in Chang'an knows how good Chang Lang is to me. Even the current emperor has seen it with his own eyes."

"Besides, I'm married to Chang Lang now, so I belong to him. If he treats me badly, so what? And you're just my friend. To put it bluntly, you're just an outsider."

"Whether Chang Lang treats me well or not, what does it have to do with you?"
