My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Going out to play?"

According to the rules of the Dingkang Marquis Mansion, the two masters must go out on holidays, even if it is just to take a walk around the East Market or the West Market.

Seeing Gu Li's expectant eyes, Chang An said, "Then let's go to the West Market, get a comb for Gu Niang, and then go see the doctor."

"Yeah." Gu Li nodded.

Then Chang An suddenly thought of something and said, "Should we go to Doctor Zhang to see Xiaoguai's condition?"

Gu Li frowned slightly, then touched his belly again and asked in confusion: "Is Chang Lang worried that Xiaoguai will get sick? But Xiaoguai doesn't have any bad condition, why do you have to go see him?"

Chang An explained: "Don't you want to know whether Xiaoguai is a husband or a wife? Why don't you go and take her pulse?"

I thought Gu Li would agree, but Chang An found that she shook her head vigorously. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you want to go?"

"No." Gu Li shook his head and said, "I don't want to know it just like that. Now that I know it, doesn't it mean that everything has been concluded?"

"To have a baby, you have to wait for ten months. You can only know the result at the end. Now that you know, what's the point of these ten months?"

Chang An smiled, stretched out his hand and scratched her face, then respected her opinion: "Okay, then we won't go."

At this time, Gu Li raised his hand, held Chang An's hand, and asked, "Chang Lang, do you want Xiaoguai to be your husband or your wife? Which one do you like better?"

"I'm fine with either. Both they are my children, and I like them both." Chang An said as he pulled her to sit on the steps in front of the main hall.

"What if I give birth to a woman?" Gu Li had a strong sense of gender, which inevitably included some old ideas about passing on the family line.

"My wife, I like it too. I'm not the current emperor, and there's no throne to inherit in my family. Why do you have to have a son?" Chang An said.

"But we have titles. Chang Lang is a marquis and I am a lady." Gu Li said again.

"In that case, can't our daughter inherit Gu Niang's title of Lady? Why does she have to inherit my title of Marquis?" Chang An said.

"Is that so? Chang Lang prefers to have a wife..." Gu Li began to misunderstand.

Chang An just laughed and said, "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that we don't have to be so rigid about gender. Whether it's a boy or a girl, they're our children, and I like them both."

"The chances of having a boy and a girl are the same anyway. And we can't control it precisely, so why bother so much? Don't act like a daughter isn't our own flesh and blood."

Chang An began to comfort Gu Li again.

"Okay then." Gu Li began to adjust her skirt again. Chang An stayed where he was, watching the servants in the front yard busying around. He even began to doubt -

Is it my own family? I can still turn around even if I lose myself...

......

Chang An took Gu Li away from home and headed towards West Market in a carriage.

Walking on the streets of West Market, it seems that because of the Qixi Festival, there are many more ladies in West Market today, and everyone has a sewing basket hanging in their hands.

Afterwards, Chang An brought Gu Li to the custom comb shop. Gu Li looked up at the shop's sign and said, "Hey, Chang Lang, my previous wooden comb was also custom-made here."

"Really? Then I'll return the goods to him and buy from someone else." After saying that, Chang An pulled Gu Li and prepared to turn around and leave.

"No!" Gu Li pulled the corner of his sleeve at this time. Chang An seemed to be tied up with a thick hemp rope and could not move at all.

Gu Li pouted, thought for a while, and finally let go of his hand. He asked weakly: "After returning the goods, what should we buy..."

Seeing Gu Li's disappointment, Chang An immediately felt distressed. He quickly stepped forward, rubbed her face, and said, "Okay, okay, Chang Lang was just teasing you. How could I go back on my promise to Gu Niang?"

"Chang Lang bullied me again..."

Gu Li was still twisting her hands unhappily, Chang An quickly pulled her, kissed her hands, and said, "Let's go in, and when we see the comb later, Mother Gu will definitely like it."

"You bully me..." In the second sentence, Gu Li simply removed the nickname and replaced it with the second person, which showed that he was really emotional.

Chang An quickly comforted her, "Mother Gu, I was wrong. Please don't be angry. In addition to the comb, I will give you something delicious to compensate you. Or I can write a collection of poems for you."

"Really..." Gu Li raised his eyes slightly, blinked, and then asked pitifully, "Then...then where is the comb..."

"Yes, we are right in front of the shop now. You can get it when you go in." Chang An added, "Then I will buy some candied haws for Gu Niang later, and then go back to write a new collection of poems for her, okay?"

"Okay then." Gu Li shook his hand, "I don't want the poetry collection, just the candied haws. Chang Lang wants to accompany me today."

As soon as I walked into the store, the shopkeeper came up to me very enthusiastically and greeted me, "Marquis Dingkang, are you here to pick up a comb today?"

"Not bad." Chang An nodded.

"Your wooden comb is ready. Please wait a moment. I will send someone to get it for you."

Chang An nodded, and then the shopkeeper saw Gu Li hiding behind Chang An, and quickly raised his hand to salute: "This must be the wife of Marquis Dingkang. It's my fault for not seeing you just now. Please forgive me, madam."

Gu Li shook his head at the shopkeeper, indicating that it was all right. Then Chang An asked, "Shopkeeper, how much silver do you need for this comb? I'll give it to you now."

"Okay, Lord Dingkang, please follow me." The shopkeeper brought Chang An and Gu Li to the counter, picked up the pen and wrote a few words, then said:

"Marquis Dingkang, apart from the deposit, there is still seven taels of silver to be paid." said the shopkeeper.

Chang An nodded, and took out a silver ingot, which was estimated to be ten taels in size, and placed it directly in front of the shopkeeper, saying, "No need to give me change, the extra amount is your salary."

"Thank you, Marquis Dingkang!" The shopkeeper immediately smiled happily.

During this time, the waiter came over with the box, placed it in front of Chang An and opened it. Chang An didn't even look at it, but directly helped Gu Li to the front and said, "Mrs. Gu, take a look. Do you like it? If you don't like it, I'll ask the store to redo it."

Gu Li looked at the comb in the box, and the shopkeeper said, "Madam, this is carved from a whole piece of plum wood. I wonder if it suits your taste?"

The comb looks like an ordinary comb, but there are plum blossom patterns carved on the head of the comb. Behind the plum blossom area, there are two figures. Just looking at the figures, we can see that the one closer to the plum blossom is a woman, and the one farther away from the plum blossom is a man.

Gu Li's eyes flashed at this moment, and he reached out and picked up the comb. Then he heard Chang An's voice: "How is it, Gu Niang, do you like it?"

She nodded instinctively without thinking. Then she was led out of the store by Chang An in a daze, and suddenly said, "Chang Lang."

"uh-huh?"

"Is this us?" Gu Li looked at the comb infatuatedly and asked.

Chang An turned his head and found that Gu Li was still holding the comb, then raised his head and looked at him. At this time, Chang An's bright smile was reflected in Gu Li's eyes, and he heard him say:

"Yes, this is when we went to the plum blossom forest last year."

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"I like it, how can I not like it..."

Gu Li's hand gently stroked the comb, and then carefully put it into the box. He raised his head and looked at Chang An, as if he had made up his mind, then stood on tiptoe and gently kissed Chang An on the lips.

Chang An's brain flashed for a moment, and when he came to his senses, Gu Li had already stood back in place. He opened his mouth at this time, and then asked in a low voice: "Mother Gu, did you kiss me?"

"Hmm..." Gu Li answered in a low voice.

"What? I didn't hear it. Can you please say it again, Mother Gu?" Chang An started to act naughty again.

"Yeah, how's it going..."

Gu Li knew that Chang An was teasing him, so he just shouted it out, and then continued to walk forward with a blushing face. Chang An looked around at this time, and found that people around him were looking at him, and he could even hear some faint laughter.

He felt a little embarrassed and quickly followed.

"Marquis Dingkang and his wife are truly in love."

"Yeah, it's really enviable."

"Ma'am, how about we kiss too?"

"Can we also learn from Marquis Ding Kang?"

"..."

In this way, when Chang An was only busy chasing Gu Li, some passers-by behind him took the hands of their lovers and did what Gu Li had just done.

Chang An took Gu Li's hand, and Gu Li immediately scolded him: "Chang Lang still knows to follow me, I thought Chang Lang wanted to stay where he was and watch others kiss."

"How could that be? This promotes the relationship between other people's mandarin ducks, so it can be considered a good thing." Chang An said with a silly smile.

But Gu Li puffed up his cheeks angrily and said, "I'm so embarrassed! Chang Lang, stop talking."

"Okay, okay," Chang An smiled and squeezed Gu Li's hand, saying, "Let's go find Doctor Zhang now."

"Go see if Gu Niang is feeling better."
