My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

After lunch, Huaiqin Zhen'er cleaned the table while Chang'an cleaned up Gu Li. The latter watched the two maids clean up the dishes while Chang'an stood by the wardrobe, choosing the coat that Gu Li was going to wear when he went out.

Chang An looked at the closet, with a coat and a cape in his hands, and seemed to feel that they were not suitable. He looked at the clothes in his hands, then at Gu Li, and simply walked towards Gu Li.

He looked at the cape and said to himself, "The cape shouldn't be calculated according to the size of pregnant women..."

So, he put the cape aside, picked up the coat, and helped Gu Li put it on. There was no problem when he put it on at first, but when he tried to button it, he found that it couldn't be buttoned.

"Chang Lang, why don't you leave this button unbuttoned? The weather is not very cold yet, and I can put on another cloak outside, so it shouldn't be a problem." Gu Li said.

Chang An looked at Gu Li, then at the cloak, thought for a moment, and asked worriedly, "Is this really okay? If you don't button it, the cold wind will blow into your stomach and make you uncomfortable."

Gu Li thought about it for a while, and then said, "Then I'll get another blanket, fold it and put it on my arm. When I hold my stomach, it will just block the wind."

Chang An nodded and said, "That's fine."

So, Chang An left his coat and cloak to Gu Li, who put on his coat and tied his cloak. Chang An went to the closet and took out a blanket.

It looked a bit flimsy, and he remembered that this was a blanket that Chang Qi and Chang Qi had knitted together, and they were planning to use it when their child was born. But now that the child wasn't born yet, this was the only use it had for the time being.

Chang An simply folded it a few times and handed it to Gu Li. After everything was ready, the couple went out with two maids. But just as they got on the carriage, Gu Li suddenly leaned close to Chang An's ear and whispered, "Aren't Sister Qi and Sister Qi coming with you?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "They followed, but not in the same group."

Gu Li thought about it for a while, nodded after he understood, and then Chang An spoke and asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the West Market.

......

The driver parked the carriage in front of the West Market Clinic with ease, and then Chang An got off the carriage first, and then carried Gu Li off the carriage. When they entered the clinic, the medicine boy greeted them as usual, and then asked Chang An and his wife to wait in their seats, and then left to find Doctor Zhang.

When the medicine boy came out to call them, the two of them went in. Doctor Zhang looked at Gu Li as soon as she came in, and then said, "Madam Hou's health is getting better and better."

Gu Li smiled and said, "Thank you, Doctor Zhang."

"Is today the day for the lung disease follow-up checkup?" Doctor Zhang asked with a smile.

"To be honest with you, Doctor Zhang, that's right." Chang An nodded.

Doctor Zhang then took action and motioned for Gu Li to put his hand on the table, and he also began to feel the pulse. Finally, after the pulse was finished, Doctor Zhang smiled and nodded, saying, "Not bad."

"Mrs. Hou's lung disease has improved. Starting tomorrow, you can reduce the dosage of the medicine again." Doctor Zhang said, "From one dose in the morning and evening, change to one dose per day, morning and evening."

Chang An nodded, and then asked, "Doctor Zhang, my wife's legs have been a little swollen recently. Is there any way to relieve it?"

Doctor Zhang asked, "What is the degree of edema? I wonder if Marquis Dingkang can tell me in detail?"

Chang An thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing else wrong. It's just swollen, but it doesn't hurt or feel sore."

"This is normal. Many new mothers have asked me about this. It is easy to relieve it. Just drink water normally, not too much or too little; then eat some light fruits and vegetables, and massage.

"Then there are the medicines that Madam Hou needs to take. Since Madam Hou's lung disease has improved greatly, the medicine should be reduced to once a day. I will also modify Madam Hou's prescription. Marquis Dingkang can take Madam Hou to get the medicine later."

"Thank you, Doctor Zhang."

After waiting for a while, until Doctor Zhang wrote the prescription, Chang An took Gu Li to get the medicine.

Back in the carriage, Gu Li asked, "Chang Lang, are we going home now?"

"Let's not go back yet. Let's go to the carpenter shop to get some things." Chang An said.

"it is good."

The carriage came to the door of the carpenter's shop again, and then Chang An carried Gu Li down and entered the carpenter's shop. When the carpenter saw Chang An coming, he came forward to greet him enthusiastically.

"I wonder if the shopkeeper has prepared the items I ordered." Chang An asked.

"It's all done. I've also made the extra gadgets you ordered." The carpenter nodded quickly and said, "Marquis Dingkang and his wife, please wait here for a while. I'll go get them for you."

Chang An nodded and watched the carpenter run away. Gu Li asked, "What did Chang Lang order again?"

"The second set of cradle and stroller." Chang An explained.

"Why do we need to order a second set? Don't we only have one Xiaoguai now?" Gu Li asked with some confusion.

Chang An said, "It's okay. It will be useful when the time comes."

"Didn't Mother Gu say that she wanted to give birth to ten good babies? What if this second set is for our second good baby?" Chang An smiled mischievously when he said this.

When Gu Li heard this, his face immediately turned red, and then he bit his teeth and said angrily, "Chang Lang, what are you talking about? We are still outside. It would be bad if others heard it."

Just as the couple was flirting, an inopportune person suddenly walked in: "Marquis Dingkang?"

Chang An and Gu Li looked over. The former recognized him, but the latter saw him for the first time, so he asked, "Chang Lang, who is he?"

Chang An looked at Li Weihao and replied, "This is a scholar from outside the country. His name is Li Weihao, and his courtesy name is Qingming. I heard that he is a talented person who has won five first prizes. He is now my classmate."

Gu Li was not in a position to perform a salute, so he nodded slightly and said, "Greetings, Mr. Li."

Li Weihao looked at Gu Li at this time and found that although she was pregnant, her figure was not out of shape at all. Moreover, she had no makeup on her face, but she was very beautiful.

He looked away. As a scholar, it was rude to look at someone else's wife for too long. He lowered his head and greeted, "Meet the Lady of Dingkanghou."

At this time, the carpenter and his apprentice came out with the things. They first passed by Li Weihao who was standing aside and said to Chang An, "Marquis Dingkang, this is what you wanted, and there are some small toys. How about you take a look?"

Chang An first checked the cradle and stroller normally, and they were indeed similar to the previous set. Then he picked up a wooden sculpture -

It was a strange human sculpture, with two eyes as big as salted eggs, strange patterns on its body, and a round object on its chest. The connection between the limbs and the torso could be rotated, and Chang An moved it and felt that there was no problem. Then he looked at other human sculptures, except for the appearance of humans and animals, they were almost the same.

Gu Li looked at the little wooden sculpture and asked curiously, "Chang Lang, what is this?"

"This is called Salted Egg Man." Chang An said with a smile, looking at this thing, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes, "I have never played with this thing, but I hope Xiaoguai can play with it."

"Oh, but why do you call him Salted Egg Man? That's weird."

"Mother Gu, look, do this person's eyes look like salted eggs?" Chang An smiled, pointed at the character's eyes and asked.

Gu Li leaned over to take a closer look, nodded and said, "It does look a bit like them."

"That's right, that's why we call him Salted Egg Man." Chang An said with a smile.

"Okay." Gu Li was also used to Chang An's weird ideas. He could always find ways to come up with something different.

Chang An looked at the other wood carvings again, nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Boss, please help me deliver these things to Dingkang Marquis Mansion later, and the concierge will pay you the travel expenses."

"Okay, I'll arrange it later." Seeing Chang An so satisfied, the carpenter nodded in agreement. Then he noticed Li Weihao who was still standing aside, and asked enthusiastically:

"Sir, what do you want?"

Li Weihao said, "I wonder if we can order a chair here. The chair at my place is a little uncomfortable."

The carpenter nodded and said, "Of course it's no problem. Just go to the counter and tell the person over there."

"it is good."

Li Weihao nodded, then looked at Chang An and said, "Marquis Dingkang, is your wife about to give birth?"

"Not yet, it's only seven months now." Chang An shook his head and replied.

Li Weihao nodded, then looked at Gu Li and asked with a smile: "I have always had a wish, I wonder if Madam Hou can fulfill it for me?"

Gu Li blinked, looked at Chang An with some confusion, and then asked: "What is your wish? Why do you want to tell me?"

"Because I have talked to Marquis Dingkang before, but he refused." Li Weihao said, "I want to compete with Marquis Dingkang in writing and poetry again, and I heard from people in Chang'an that you and Marquis Dingkang are very affectionate, so I want to see your opinion. I wonder if Madam Dingkang can help me."

"Why again? From what Mr. Li said, she must have competed with my husband before." Gu Li frowned slightly and asked.

"Last time, Marquis Dingkang gave me two articles, but I couldn't compare with either of them, so I wanted to compete in poetry and prose," Li Weihao explained.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I can't agree to anything that my husband has refused, no matter what it is." Gu Li shook his head and rejected Li Weihao's request.

Seeing this, Li Weihao didn't want to continue to beg in front of their husbands, so he nodded and said, "Well, in that case, I won't bother Marquis Dingkang and his wife any more."

"Farewell."

Chang An and Gu Li both nodded slightly to him and left, while Li Weihao was the only one standing there. He just watched the two of them get on the carriage and left, while he stayed in the carpenter's shop and sighed with some regret.
