"By the way, sister, isn't the new mother not allowed to drink alcohol?" Gu Li suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Indeed, what's the matter?"

Gu Li expressed her doubts: "But wasn't Madam Zhang an oiran before? Aren't oirans almost the same as my sister, and have to accompany guests to drink?"

"She stayed in the restaurant for a while longer, so it's inevitable that she would..."

When Su Meng heard this, she knew what Gu Li wanted to say, so she said, "You can rest assured about this. Ai Yu is a courtesan after all, and she still has her own rules."

"Her rule is: drink tea instead of wine."

After hearing this, Chang An's eyebrows unconsciously raised again - using tea instead of wine, can it be used on the courtesan?! It really subverted his senses.

"For some reason, Ai Yu has a strange disease. After drinking, she will feel dizzy and nauseous, and even have a rash on her body. She cannot drink any kind of alcohol, even sweet wine, so she simply replaces alcohol with tea and no longer drinks."

After drinking, she felt dizzy, nauseous and had a rash. Chang An said, "Mrs. Zhang is allergic to alcohol, but she still managed to become an oiran by not drinking. She is quite capable."

"Alcohol allergy? Does Chang Lang know about this strange disease?" Little stars flashed in Gu Li's eyes. My Chang Lang is worthy of being the number one talent in Chang'an. He is knowledgeable and experienced.

"This isn't a strange disease. It's not fatal, but it's incurable." Chang An said, "The only way to avoid it is to stay away from alcohol. And in Madam Zhang's case, no matter what kind of alcohol it is, she can't touch it."

"Forget it, it depends on whether Ai Yu can survive this incident." Su Meng sighed and said.

"If she survives, it will be a great thing, which means another girl from our Pingkangfang has made it out. If she doesn't survive, it is not a good thing either, at least she has made it out."

It can be seen that Su Meng is still very happy for Zhang Aiyu.

"In that case, I will send someone to tell you when I find Mr. Li." Chang An said, "I won't bother you any more. Goodbye."

Su Meng looked at Chang An, and suddenly said unhappily: "If you want to go out, go out by yourself. I still have something to say to Li'er."

"Ah? Me...me?"

Gu Li was a little surprised, and looked at Su Meng and then at Chang An. When he found that the latter just smiled, he went out and closed the door considerately.

Chang An sat in the yard, taking a nap on Su Meng's stone table. After a long while, he heard the door open, and he looked up, only to find Gu Li's face flushed.

"Chang Lang! Let's go home quickly..."

Chang An knew at a glance that Su Meng was probably teaching Gu Li something bad again. So, before he could react, Chang An was dragged away by Gu Li.

......

At night, Gu Li was a little different from usual. He didn't lean on Chang An's arms, but curled up in bed, playing with the quilt by himself. Chang An sat on the bed, but as soon as he sat in his position, Gu Li turned over and pressed him under him.

He was a little confused, but still asked softly, "What's wrong, Gu Niang?"

Gu Li thought about it, opened his mouth, and said: "Chang Lang, Xiaoguai is three months old..."

Chang An raised his eyes slightly at this time, then calculated the time in his mind, then nodded and said: "It has indeed been three months, what's wrong?"

"Xiaoguai is three months old. I heard from sister that... when he is three months old, he can... go to sleep." When Gu Li said this, his little hands twisted together unconsciously again.

Chang An was stunned for a moment, and in that moment, he felt his hand being pulled. Then he heard Gu Li say, "I know that too. Chang Lang has to help the current emperor solve his problems, study at the Imperial Academy, and take care of me. It's very tiring."

"And now Madam Zhang's matter has made Chang Lang even more tired. I have also seen Chang Lang's stress. So, now Xiaoguai is three months old, I..."

"I can also help Chang Lang relieve...relieve some of his stress."

Chang An smiled and said, "It's okay. When Madam Zhang's matter is over, I won't have any pressure anymore."

"But...but what if it's not that fast?" Gu Li puffed up one cheek and drew circles on Chang An's chest with one finger, looking a little frustrated.

Chang An reached out and touched Gu Li's face slightly, saying, "There's nothing we can do about this. Besides, he's only been around three months old, and he's not well behaved yet. What if something happens?"

"Only occasionally..." Gu Li pouted unhappily, and then tried to get off Chang An, while complaining: "Since Chang Lang is not under much pressure, forget it..."

Seeing this, Chang·Never Disappoint·An said: "In fact, the pressure is still very great..."

"What Gu Niang said is true. If Li Dada can't be found, the pressure may become greater and greater, but I just don't know how to relieve it."

Gu Li was delighted at this moment, and stopped the action of leaving, returned to his original position, and said: "Then... I will sleep with Chang Lang and relieve Chang Lang's stress, okay?"

Chang An embraced Gu Li and let her fall on him, then asked teasingly: "How do you want to relieve it, Madam Gu?"

"Chang Lang is bad..."

“Is this bad?”

……

On the third day, Chang An was still "taking classes" at the Imperial College when Zhou Xuezheng's bookboy suddenly walked in. Zhou Xuezheng noticed him and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"Xuezheng, there is someone outside who asked me to give a note to Dingkang Hou Chang Yonghe." The book boy replied.

"Then give it to him quickly." Zhou Xuezhen said and continued his lecture.

After Chang An got the note, he opened it directly and saw that it said: Li Chengyuan, southeast street, Qinrenfang. It was probably sent by the two sisters Chang Qi, and their efficiency was pretty good.

After reading the note, Chang An crumpled it into a ball and put it in his pocket, and then began to think about the follow-up development of the matter.

When he got home from school, Chang An said, "Mother Gu, are you planning to go to the government office today?"

"Go to the government office?" Gu Li didn't react at first, then he asked, "Could it be that you have found Mr. Li? Are you going to sue the government office today?"

Chang An nodded and smiled, "Not bad."

"I'll send someone to tell Madam Zhang about this later. After lunch, we'll sue Mr. Li."

"it is good!"

Seeing that Gu Li had no objection, Chang An directly sent someone to find Zhang Aiyu.

......

It was about lunch time, Huaiqin and Zhen'er had just set up the table, when the maid who had just been sent to look for Zhang Aiyu came back and said to Chang'an, "My Lord, Madam Zhang is here."

Chang An looked up and saw Zhang Aiyu standing behind the maid with a big belly. He followed the traditional etiquette and asked, "Is Madam Zhang here? Have you eaten yet?"

Zhang Aiyu was stunned for a moment, shook his head honestly, and said, "Just now I heard that Marquis Dingkang sent someone to look for him, saying that he had found Li Dada, so I came directly here."

"Okay, Huaiqin, go get another set of bowls and chopsticks, as there are more people eating today." Chang An ordered directly.

"Yes, son."

"Marquis Dingkang, you must not do this. I am not a good family member and have no right to dine with you." Zhang Aiyu quickly grabbed Huaiqin who was about to get the bowl and chopsticks and said.

"Even if a prisoner who is to be beheaded immediately enters my courtyard, he is entitled to an extra set of bowls and chopsticks, let alone you, Madam Zhang?" Chang An said with a smile, "In our family, even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to sit at the same table with the Kunlun slaves. Why are you being polite?"

"Huaiqin, go quickly, don't dawdle."

Huaiqin responded again and left. Helplessly, Zhang Aiyu had to sit down and have lunch with Chang An.

In the southeast street of Qinrenfang, Li Chengyuan was writing his "Dingkang Cewen" at home, chewing the buns in his hand while writing. Suddenly, he heard someone knocking on the door outside the yard, and shouted:

"Madam, open the door!"

"Come here!"

Then, a woman came to the door and opened it. But the person who came made her stunned for a moment, and then she said with a smile: "Gentlemen, what is the occasion today?"

"Today someone beat a drum and sued Li Chengyuan for defamation. The Wannian County magistrate summoned Li Chengyuan to court." said the leading constable.

The woman and Li Chengyuan in the room were both stunned for a moment. The latter even ran out of the room and asked, "Sir, you have misunderstood. I am just a scholar."

"Yes, we are looking for the scholar. Someone has sued you for defamation. Please come with us!" Although the leading constable was very polite in his words, his action of waving his hand to signal people to come forward to arrest was extremely cold.

"I'm not an official. I'm just a writer. How can I be guilty of slander and rumor-mongering?"

But this time, the constable ignored him and took him to the yamen.

In the yamen, Chang An and Gu Li were sitting in the court, and the county magistrate was serving them respectfully. Even Zhang Aiyu was lucky enough to sit there.

"I don't know how Li Chengyuan slandered Marquis Dingkang, and Marquis Dingkang actually came to the government office in person to sue him." The county magistrate asked respectfully.

"It's not us who are going to sue, it's Madam Zhang." Chang An said, and pointed at Zhang Aiyu, "I just don't know if the county magistrate can handle it impartially."

"That was natural then," said the magistrate.

"That's fine. You can handle it yourself when the time comes. You don't have to favor us just because I'm a marquis. Otherwise, I will report you to the emperor." Chang An nodded and said.

"Yes Yes."

The government office fell silent again until a voice came from the door: "Li Chengyuan has been brought in!"

The county magistrate shouted as if he had seen a savior:

"Okay, come on! Let's go to court!"
