My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

"Chang Lang, get up! Get up, get up!"

When Chang An was still sleeping, he suddenly felt a weight on his body, and then heard Gu Li's voice. When he opened his eyes halfway, he felt a warm feeling on his lips.

"Chang Lang, get up quickly!"

"Get up, get up."

Chang An sat up, then stretched out his hand and took Gu Li into his arms. Then he buried his face in Gu Li's arms, and when he raised his head again, he was full of energy.

"Hmm! Mrs. Gu smells so good, I feel energetic!" Chang An said, and kissed Gu Li.

"Then let's get up and wash up." Gu Li said with a smile, then pulled Chang An up and changed clothes with him.

After washing up, Chang An went out to arrange the trip, while Gu Li put on makeup in the house and waited for Zhen'er to bring the medicine.

Soon, Zhen'er came in with the medicine, followed by Wang Wei and others:

"Madam Gu."

"Mr. Wang, Madam Cui, Mr. Gao." Gu Li took the medicine bowl and bowed slightly to them.

"Where is Brother Yonghe?" Wang Wei was a guest and it was not appropriate for him to look around in other people's rooms, so he asked at this time.

"Chang Lang has gone out to arrange our outing." After Gu Li finished speaking, he took a sip of the medicine.

After saying that, Chang An came in, holding two boxes in his hands. After seeing Wang Wei, Gao Shi and the other two, he greeted them one by one:

"Brother Mojie, Brother Gao, Madam Cui, you are here?"

"Brother Yonghe (Brother Chang)."

Wang Wei said, "My wife had eaten mooncakes at Madam Gu's place yesterday and told me how delicious they were. Today, she was eager to eat some, so she came here directly."

Gao Shi also said: "Today, His Majesty issued an edict, saying that a banquet will be held at Qujiang Winery in Qujiang, inviting all the talented scholars to attend. Although His Majesty will not be there in person, Princess Yongmu and Princess Changfen will come on his behalf, and the scene will surely be very lively."

"Oh?" Chang An raised his eyebrows. Are Li Ke'er and Li Siqing coming? And they will also participate as hosts.

"In that case, if we don't go to His Majesty's banquet, we will be disrespectful. Let's set off now." Chang An said, then thought for a moment, handed the mooncake to Zhen'er, and ran away:

"I'll go get a few more boxes of mooncakes. Madam Gu and Brother Mojie can just wait for me at the door!"

……

After Gu Li and the others waited at the door for a while, Chang An came over with two boxes of mooncakes and said:

"We can go now."

Gao Shi did not come on horseback today, but followed Wang Wei in a carriage. However, Wang Wei's carriage was relatively small, so this time they took Chang'an's carriage.

Just as he was about to get on the carriage, a female voice came: "Marquis Dingkang, wait a minute!"

Chang An and the others turned their heads and saw a person dressed as a maid coming over in a carriage. She bowed slightly to Chang An and Gu Li and greeted them:

"Marquis Dingkang, Lady of the County."

"Whose maid are you?" Chang An first carried Gu Li into the carriage, then asked.

"Replying to Marquis Dingkang, I am the eldest princess's person." said the maid.

"Then I wonder what the princess wants to convey?"

"Today, His Majesty ordered the eldest princess and the second princess to prepare a banquet at Qujiang Restaurant. However, we don't know whether Marquis Dingkang will attend, so the two princesses ordered me to come and ask."

"So that's the case. Please inform the two princesses and we will of course go." Chang An said.

"Okay, I will tell the two princesses what Marquis Dingkang meant." The maid nodded slightly, and then said, "If Marquis Dingkang and his party are coming, the princess has already reserved a good seat for them."

"Thank the two princesses for me." Chang An raised his hand and saluted the maid.

"Marquis Dingkang, your message has been delivered. I will return to report for the time being. Goodbye."

"Okay, walk slowly."

After watching the maid leave, Chang An got on the carriage and sat in. After he sat down, the carriage became very symmetrical - Gao Shi was in the middle, while Wang Wei and Chang An, each with their wives, sat on both sides of the carriage.

It looked like two couples, with Gao Shi sandwiched in the middle.

Then, Chang An took out a box of mooncakes and opened it, revealing the mooncakes inside. Half of the eight mooncakes were baked and the other half were steamed.

"Come on, Brother Mojie, Brother Gao, have a taste." Chang An put the box in front of Wang Wei and Gao Shi.

"Are these two types of mooncakes?" Gao Shi picked up a mooncake at random and asked.

"good."

Wang Wei also picked up a piece, and Gao Shi's was steamed and baked. They both took a bite, nodded, and said:

"tasty."

Chang An smiled, then handed the box to Wang Wei and said, "Take your time to eat. I have another box here."

"Thank you, Brother Yonghe."

"You'd better eat faster, so as not to give Brother Gao too much." Chang An also said.

"Brother Chang, please don't make fun of Gao Shi. Brother Wang and I will share it. If Madam Cui also wants some, I will give her more." Gao Shi smiled and ignored Chang An's joke.

Chang An then took out another box, opened it, picked out a piece for Gu Li, and then ate a piece himself.

……

The carriage entered Qujiangfang, and several people got off the carriage first, but Wang Wei was the only one who hadn't gotten off yet. Chang An waited there with some confusion, and then he saw Wang Wei getting off the carriage. At this time, Wang Wei was holding a pipa in his arms, which looked somewhat familiar. It seemed to be the pipa he used when he played "Yu Lun Pao" at the dinner at Prince Qi's Mansion.

Chang An was stunned for a moment, and then Wang Wei said, "I wonder if what Brother Yonghe said yesterday still counts?"

Chang An smiled and said, "Yes! Of course! As the saying goes, a gentleman's word is as good as gold."

"Then let's go." Chang An stretched out his hand, made a "please" gesture, and then walked in with Gu Li.

As expected, people set up poetry reading platforms everywhere in Qujiang. Not only that, some people even brought a few tables and competed with each other on playing musical instruments.

Chang An and Wang Wei looked at each other, then walked to a more conspicuous place. Chang An cleared his throat and shouted:

"All the talented people! All the musicians! Please look over here!"

Soon, this voice attracted everyone's attention. Chang An saw that the response was good, so he continued:

"My name is Chang Yonghe! The people next to me are my two best friends: Wang Mojie, the Minister of Music of the Imperial Palace, and Gao Shi, the Director of the Ministry of War! And these two are my wife Gu Li and Madam Wang."

Of course, everyone had heard of Chang Yonghe's name, so they bowed and greeted them:

"Marquis Dingkang."

"Wang Lecheng."

"..."

Then Chang An pressed his hand again, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then said: "I made a bet with Brother Mo Jie. If Brother Mo Jie's music can impress everyone present, I will write a poem and show it to the talented people present to see if it is good enough."

"I wonder if everyone could give me some face?"

The audience looked at each other in bewilderment. Wang Wei's music and Chang An's poetry were both very famous, and they were just making a comparison, so there was no need to compare, and it was not embarrassing. In this way, they did not suffer any loss.

So, the first person agreed, and the next person agreed as well. In this way, Chang An borrowed a table and moved it behind Wang Wei himself.

After Wang Wei sat down, he began to play a piece of music. Chang An, who was not familiar with music theory, asked Cui Yu, "Brother Mo Jie, what piece of music is this? I don't understand music theory."

"This piece of music is "Lovesickness", the poem that my husband once gave to Mr. Chang." Cui Yu said with a smile, "Later, my husband adapted this poem into a piece of music."

Chang An smiled and said, "Then thank Brother Mo Jie for me."

Cui Yu nodded slightly, and then continued to listen to Wang Wei's music. When the song ended, the audience applauded.

"This song is clear, and it expresses joy, as if one has met a bosom friend. It has the same effect as the song of high mountains and flowing water."

"That's right, as the saying goes, a soulmate finds a kindred spirit, and this piece of music also matches the song 'Red Beans'."

"..."

As expected, the audience gave a lot of praise, but I don't know how many people came for Chang An's reputation. Wang Wei put away his pipa and said, "Brother Yonghe, it's your turn."

Chang An smiled, then borrowed the four treasures of the study from a talented scholar, and without thinking, he picked up the pen and wrote:

"Thank you, Wang Wei - I met a soulmate in the mountains and flowing water, and his poetic talent moved my heart. I want to advise you to keep your good rhyme, and I hope you can always keep your pure rhyme. The fragrance of the pen will be appreciated by the ages, and the ink will show the future. The sound of nature moves my heart, and I want to find the soulmate."

After finishing writing, Chang An showed the poem paper. As Chang An's number one fan, Gu Li was naturally the first to come up and look at the poem.

"The song is about mountains and flowing water, and the poem is also about mountains and flowing water. You are indeed good friends."

Chang An smiled and showed the poem to Wang Wei, then handed it to the scholar closest to him and said:

"We still need to attend the Qujiang Banquet. Everyone, I will take my leave now."

"Marquis Dingkang, take care."

Then, they turned around and walked towards the direction of the Qujiang Banquet. Halfway through, the maid from the morning came over and said:

"Meet Marquis Dingkang."

"The two princesses just noticed what happened on Marquis Dingkang's side, so they asked me to come and pick you up." said the maid.

"Has the banquet started?" Gu Li asked.

"No, it's just that the two princesses want to meet Marquis Dingkang. Come here early so that I can arrange seats for you."
