My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li
Chapter 248: The Courtesan Zhang Aiyu
After briefly chatting with Gu Ke and Gu Su, he went to instruct the kitchen to prepare meals.
After arranging everything, he sat back on the main seat. Gu Li then opened the box of untouched pastries and took a piece and put it to Chang An's mouth.
"Chang Lang, try it. This is the first piece."
"Then let me try it." Chang An bit the pastry and the whole thing slid into his mouth.
"Is it delicious?" Gu Li asked expectantly.
"Hmm... um." Chang An had a whole pastry stuffed in his mouth, so he could only express himself vaguely, and then he added a nod.
"That's good." Gu Li picked up the box again and asked several family members: "Father, mother, do you want to eat?"
"This is for you. Naturally, you eat it. We won't." Gu Ke smiled and said.
Then Gu Li turned his attention to his brothers Gu Baizhi and Gu Huashuo, who also shook their heads and said, "We don't like to eat this."
In that case, Gu Li didn't force it. He took out a piece and put it in his mouth, then continued reading.
......
After noon, Chang An and his wife took Gu Ke and others to have a simple meal and then sent them off.
The rest of the time, the two of them sat at the desk, each doing their own thing. Chang An was writing a fairy tale for Xiaoguai to read in the future, while Gu Li was holding the Dingkang Cewen and reading it happily.
Suddenly I saw a very interesting place, which said:
I saw that Ai Yu's eyes were full of water, looking at Chang Yonghe affectionately. But at this moment, a carriage suddenly came from the south, and the one who got off the carriage was Su Meng from Nansu...
Then the next part is that Zhang Aiyu and Su Meng start quarreling and being jealous because of Chang An. In the end, they even propose to perform on the same stage, one playing music and the other dancing, to see who gets the most applause and support.
Because the two women were arguing with each other, in order to prevent the argument from escalating, Chang Yonghe threw himself into the water without caring about his own safety. Chang Yonghe's diving immediately attracted the attention of the two women, and the two stopped arguing, but the two women were not good at swimming and could not save him.
At this moment, a beautiful lady in plain clothes suddenly ran out. It was the third wife of the Gu family! She jumped into the water and rescued Chang Yonghe, but then left quietly...
"Chuckles..."
After reading the last part and seeing that he was included in the story, Gu Li was amused and even laughed like a silver bell. At this time, Chang An shouted:
"Mrs. Gu."
"Hey."
"What did you see? It's so funny." Then Chang An seemed to think of something interesting and cursed, "You're crazy. You made my mother Gu laugh."
Gu Li laughed even more happily now, and then he patted Chang An's hand lightly and said, "Hey, Chang Lang, don't tease me, look..."
Gu Li then lifted up the book, placed it in front of Chang An, and said, "These two pages are so interesting. Although I know they are fake, I still find them funny."
After reading these plots, Chang An almost blurted out: "This is better than what Mr. Liu wrote. This is simply the first science fiction epic masterpiece of our Tang Dynasty."
"Science fiction? Epic masterpiece? What is this?" asked Gu Li.
"Science fiction is scientific fantasy, that is, it is about writing about possible things based on the existence of certain limited things and events, without conflicting with what people know," said Chang An.
"To put it simply, it means daydreaming."
Although this was not the original intention, in order to make Gu Li understand, I had to use this way of expression.
"Oh, it's really a daydream." Gu Li pouted and said, "I know what my Chang Lang is like. He won't be liked by many ladies."
Just now it was Gu Li who was amused by the storybook, and now it was Chang An's turn to be amused by Gu Li. He rubbed Gu Li's face twice "hard", and then said: "Your Chang Lang is suave, handsome, and talented. The ladies who like your Chang Lang can line up from Mingde Gate to the gate of the Imperial City. Who says there are not many ladies who like him?"
"Chang Lang loves to brag."
"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Chang An felt uncomfortable and rubbed Gu Li's face several times.
"Of course, Chang Lang is just famous. He was actually a bookworm before he got married." Gu Li said, "Except for going to my sister's house to drink, he never goes out. There are not many ladies who would know Chang Lang."
Chang An laughed, and then said, "How come Gu Niang understands me so well?"
"Of course I understand Chang Lang. When he opens his mouth, he quotes famous sayings from ancient times, and when he closes his mouth, he quotes the words of sages. He is just a nerd." Gu Li fluttered a few more times in Chang An's arms, changed to a more comfortable position and continued reading.
The two of them continued to maintain the same posture for a long time, and then Huaiqin and Zhener suddenly appeared at the door of the study. After knocking on the door, they said:
"Young Master, Sanniang."
"What's wrong?" Chang An asked.
"Young Master, there's someone outside...someone is looking for you, and he specifically asked for you." Huaiqin said somewhat embarrassedly.
Then Chang An asked again: "Who is looking for me? You know the rules of our family. Just come in."
But Zhen Er said at this time: "But...the person who came is Madam Zhang Aiyu from Pingkangfang."
Chang An's hands froze when he heard the name, and then Zhen'er continued, "Mrs. Zhang Aiyu said she was not qualified to come in, so she asked you to meet her at the door."
Gu Li raised his head at this time, looked at Chang An, and then moved away from his arms. Chang An put down his pen, rubbed his eyebrows, and then said, "Okay, let's go meet him."
Chang An stood up and looked at Gu Li. The other party received his gaze and asked, "Chang Lang, should I go too?"
"Go, I'll be alone with the other ladies, it's better for Gu Niang to watch from the side."
Gu Li then stood up and followed Chang An to the door. At this time, a woman in light red clothes stood at the door. She had a gorgeous face. Compared with Su Meng, the former was like a beautiful girl from a small family, while the latter was mature and generous. Her skin was as white as mutton fat, and her belly was... bulging? !
Chang An walked forward, raised his hand to salute, and greeted, "Meet Madam Zhang Aiyu."
"I dare not. I am here to greet Marquis Dingkang and his wife." Zhang Aiyu lowered her head and, regardless of her long-term pregnancy, bowed respectfully to Chang An.
"Madam Zhang Aiyu, are you... pregnant?" Chang An looked at Zhang Aiyu with a strange expression.
"To reply to Marquis Dingkang, that's right." Zhang Aiyu said, "This child was conceived last year. When her mother found out, she wanted to abort it, but I begged everywhere and finally raised enough money to redeem her."
"Now that I am a good citizen, the child is also kept."
Gu Li frowned slightly at this time and asked, "I wonder why Madam Zhang Aiyu came here today?"
Zhang Aiyu said: "Marquis Dingkang and his wife must have known about the Dingkang Cewen written by Li Dada, right? I have also read that book, but I saw that the author said... said..."
Halfway through her words, Zhang Aiyu suddenly felt a little speechless. If she said such words, her life might not be saved, not to mention the fetus in her belly.
At this time, Chang An thought of an incredible idea——
"Could it be that the book says that this child...is yours and mine?" Chang An asked in disbelief.
"I dare not deceive Marquis Dingkang, that's right..." Zhang Aiyu lowered his head even lower, and his feet unconsciously took two steps back.
Chang An slapped his head and started to have a headache. This kind of story might be taken seriously by someone. Once someone took it seriously and spread it around as a topic, it would definitely be bad for the child. At that time, it might even implicate him and make him look bad.
Who is Zhang Aiyu? The courtesan in Pingkangfang has a child now, but the father still doesn't know who the child is. Before the book was published, some people might have speculated, but once the book was published, it was no less than a breakthrough, and people focused their attention on themselves.
"I am willing to serve Lord Dingkang as a slave, but I ask that Lord Dingkang give my child... a good name."
Give me a legitimate status? Let me keep this child? Just when he thought of something, he suddenly saw a red dress falling down in front of him. He quickly reached out and grabbed Zhang Aiyu who was about to kneel down.
"Madam Zhang, there is no need to do this. You are pregnant now, and you cannot perform such a grand ceremony!" Chang An said as he helped Zhang Aiyu up.
"I don't ask for anything else, and I dare not use this as an excuse to step into the gate of Marquis Dingkang's mansion. I only ask Marquis Dingkang to clarify so that people will have fewer such thoughts. This matter can not only give the child a legitimate status, but also get an explanation from Marquis Dingkang and his wife."
"After this matter is settled, I am willing to entrust the child to a kind family, and I will become a humble servant of Marquis Dingkang to repay his kindness."
"Stop, stop, stop. Don't kneel down. Stand up!" Chang An didn't dare to use force and could only hold her up. "Not only do you not have to perform this great ceremony, I am not qualified to receive your ceremony."
"Madam Zhang, please get up. Chang Lang doesn't like others kneeling to him." Gu Li also spoke.
Seeing that the "prime wife" had spoken, Zhang Aiyu stood up with the help of Chang'an, and then said: "I beg Marquis Dingkang to help my child..."
At this moment, the once high and mighty courtesan was now extremely humble in front of Chang'an, and her voice was filled with tears.
Chang An sighed and said:
"I promise you."
