My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Humph!"

Gu Li turned his head away in a tantrum, not intending to pay attention to Chang An. But Chang An directly took out his trump card - the hug tactic!

He immediately leaned down, then put his arms around Gu Li's knees and picked her up, and she sat on his arms. Gu Li was startled again and let out a soft cry.

"How is it? Are you still angry?" Chang An lifted Gu Li up and asked after holding him firmly.

"Chang Lang is already like this, how can I not calm down?" Gu Li stretched out his white jade fingers and poked Chang An's face.

......

Chang An held Gu Li in her arms until they came to the door of Doctor Zhang's clinic, and then she put Gu Li down. Then she asked, "How is it, Chang Lang, are your hands sore?"

"I'm not jealous. I've hugged Gu Niang like this before. Why are you asking this suddenly?"

"Because there are two of me now, plus Xiaoguai, shouldn't I be heavier than before?" Gu Li said, putting his hand on his belly.

Chang An touched her head and said, "Xiaoguai is so young, and she doesn't weigh much."

After saying a few simple words at the door, Chang An led Gu Li in. When the pharmacist working in the clinic saw the two of them, he greeted them, "Marquis Dingkang, Madam Marquis."

"Are you two here to see Doctor Zhang?"

"Exactly."

"Sir, I am free now. Please follow me."

The couple followed the medicine boy into Doctor Zhang's small room. Doctor Zhang was sitting in the room, holding a medical book in his hand and reading. When he noticed Chang An and his wife coming in, he greeted them, "Marquis Dingkang, Madam Marquis."

"What do you want to see today? Are you looking for a doctor or something else?"

When he said this, Doctor Zhang smiled with an ambiguous tone. Chang An and Gu Li said awkwardly, "No, Doctor Zhang, you misunderstood. We are just here for a follow-up check."

"Oh, is that so?" Doctor Zhang smiled, and then asked, "I thought Madam was here to see a man and a woman today."

"Why does Doctor Zhang say that?" Gu Li asked in confusion, "Does this mean that many people will come to ask this question?"

Doctor Zhang nodded and said, "That's true. Whenever my new mother reaches the age of Marquis, she will come to me to check her pulse and ask questions. But unfortunately, if it were a girl, it would be a big sin for some families."

"I've strayed off topic. Madam still needs to get checked for lung disease today, right?"

Chang An and Gu Li both nodded, and then Chang An said, "I wonder if Doctor Zhang could also take a look and see if there is anything else that needs to be treated for my mother Gu."

"it is good."

Doctor Zhang nodded, then stretched out his hand and placed it on Gu Li's wrist. After a brief examination, he let go of her hand and said, "Madam's lung disease has recovered well, but I don't know if you still have a cough recently? Or if your chest still hurts?"

"No, I haven't coughed for a while." Gu Li replied.

"That's good, but ma'am, don't be too happy too soon. Your body is not yet at the point where you can reduce the dosage of the medicine, so you still need to continue taking two doses a day." Doctor Zhang said.

"Okay, thank you, Doctor Zhang."

Doctor Zhang gave a few simple instructions, and then Chang An took Gu Li away.

......

After Gu Li and Chang An finished their dinner, they came to the front yard again to conduct a final inspection of the preparations for the needle-threading ceremony to be held that night.

At this time, the front yard had been arranged, with a table placed in the middle of the yard, on which fruit plates and livestock were placed. Above the table, cloths of different colors were hung.

Gu Li glanced around the front yard, spotted Chang Qi and Chang Qi, and called out, "Sister Qi, Sister Qi!"

The two sisters were originally arranging the aftermath work in the front yard, but after hearing Gu Li's voice, they put down their work and walked forward.

"Sanniang, young master."

"Have you prepared the needles and threads you want to buy today?" Gu Li asked.

"Sister Sanniang, everything is ready. We can arrange it after nightfall." Chang Qi said, "There are sixty-two women in the family, including you, Sister Sanniang. Each of them needs seven needles, so we bought four hundred and forty needles, and each needle costs half a cent."

"Then we bought ten rolls of five-colored thread, ten coins per roll. We have already returned the remaining silver to the warehouse."

Gu Li nodded and said, "It's only 320 coins in total. I'll remember that. How is the layout here now?"

"Madam, the stage has been set up. We can start praying for wisdom when night falls."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work. You will receive an extra 200 coins in monthly salary this month." Gu Li smiled and said.

"Thank you, Sanniang."

After Gu Li checked other aspects personally, she left with Chang An. Chang An saw how hard she worked and asked, "Mother Gu, do you manage the house like this when I'm at school?"

Gu Li blinked and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong?"

"Of course not, Gu Niang is doing a great job." Chang An touched her face and said affirmatively, "I feel relieved to have Gu Niang at home to take care of the family."

"What's the matter?"

"Does Gu Niang work so hard every day?" Chang An asked, "I see that you do everything yourself."

"Of course, this is the home of Chang Lang and me." Gu Li clapped his hands and said, "And didn't Chang Lang say that I am the mistress of the family, so of course I have to do what a mistress should do."

Chang An smiled and leaned over, kissed her on the head, then hugged her lovingly and said, "Mother Gu did a great job, but now Mother Gu has a little baby in her belly."

"Now the days are not long, so it's okay to be a little tired. Just treat it as daily exercise. But after a long time, Gu Niang will not allow you to be so tired. If you have anything, you can ask Zhen'er or Sister Qi or Sister Qi. Do you understand?"

Gu Li nodded obediently, and then looked up at the sky with his big eyes. It was already June, the summer, so the time of darkness was naturally delayed a lot.

"Stop looking. Looking at the sky is bad for your eyes." Chang An naturally noticed Gu Li's gaze and then said.

"Then I won't look at it anymore. Look at Chang Lang." Gu Li quickly retracted his gaze, then held Chang An's neck and kissed him on the face, "Chang Lang saw me looking at other things, is he jealous?"

Chang An held her in his arms and jumped twice on the spot. She was so scared that she quickly hugged Chang An tightly.

"I'm just jealous, so what?" Chang An responded lovingly, "It's just that it's not dark yet, Gu Niang will be there soon after taking a bath, there's no need to rush."

"okay."

......

As expected, when Gu Li and Chang An finished their baths, it was already dark. The lights in the Dingkang Marquis's mansion were also turned on, turning the darkness into light.

Chang An followed Gu Li to the front yard. The moon was hanging in the sky at this time. The women in the family also came to the front yard under the leadership of Sister Qi and Sister Qi.

The two sisters were holding two baskets in their hands. They walked up to Gu Li and said, "Sanniang, here are all needlework. The women in the family are all here."

Chang An looked around and saw that all the women were standing in the front yard. The originally spacious front yard seemed a bit crowded. Gu Li nodded and said, "Then let's get started. Starting early will allow them to rest early."

When Chang Qi heard this, she put the basket on the ground, patted the mat in front of the table, brushed off the dust, and said, "Sanniang, you are the mistress of the family, so you should be the first one."

"it is good."

Gu Li knelt on the mat at this time, and Chang Qi bent down and opened the basket. It was filled with needles and threads, but these needles and threads were inserted into the balled cloth, which made Chang An's eyelids twitch——

Fortunately, this is the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty. No other dynasty would dare to live so extravagantly. This is a ball wrapped in cloth with seven needles inserted into it.

Then Gu Li took the thread handed to her by Chang Qi, and Chang Qi also put the lantern in front of Gu Li to illuminate her vision.

"Sanniang, you can start now."

"Ah."

Gu Li twisted the thread, raised her head slightly, pointed the "needle and thread ball" in her hand at the moon, and then began to thread the needle. Chang An was standing behind her at this time, watching her movements quietly——

Gu Li slowly passed the thread through the hole of the first needle, and then without changing hands, he continued to pass the thread through the holes of the second and third needles in this way, until he passed the thread through the hole of the seventh needle.

After all the silk threads had passed through the needle holes, Gu Li breathed a sigh of relief. Then, holding the ball of cloth in his hand, he prayed earnestly to the moon.

After doing all this, Gu Li stood up with the help of Chang Qi and returned to Chang An. Chang An asked, "Did Gu Niang just beg for skills?"

"Yes." Gu Li nodded, "I even prayed to the Vega in the sky."

"Oh?" Chang An was a very qualified listener and showed great interest at this time, "What wish did Gu Niang make?"

"Of course I want Chang Lang and I to have peace in the future. And now we have a little boy named Xiaoguai. I also hope that Xiaoguai can be safe in the future." Gu Li said.

"Most importantly, I hope Chang Lang will like me more in the future."

After saying this, Gu Li's face turned red. The women around him also laughed and said:

"Madam, the Marquis has always loved you the most."

"Yes, my Lord, I like it the most. I can't like it more."

"..."

At this time, Gu Li simply buried her face in Chang An's chest. Obviously, it was the maids' instigation that made her even more embarrassed.
