My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 301: Teaching People the Way of the World

"Of course. I haven't seen Brother Yonghe's house so lively for a long time." Gao Shi nodded and agreed.

Su Meng said, "Ai Yu and I can't drink for long. It's almost time, so we should leave."

"We have to wait until the time. It's still early." Chang An smiled and helped Gu Li up, then returned to the low table and said, "Mother Gu has not been allowed to go out for some time. She is almost bored at home."

"What nonsense are you talking about, Chang Lang?" Gu Li stretched out her hand and pinched Chang An, then said coquettishly, "I'm not bored at home! I still have to take care of the household affairs with a big belly."

"I'm so busy that I have no time to rest. How can I be bored?"

After saying that, Gu Li pouted unhappily, causing Chang An to touch her cheek. Su Meng then came to Gu Li's side, took her hand, squeezed it gently, and said:

"Li'er, why are you still so thin? Is it because Chang'an is starving you and not giving you and Xiaoguai food?"

"Of course not." Gu Li understood Su Meng's joke at this time, and answered seriously: "Didn't sister see it? Xiaoguai is fat now, how could Chang Lang treat us badly."

"If Chang Lang really starves me and doesn't let me eat, I will run away from home! I will run to my sister's place and eat with her."

At this time, Zhang Aiyu asked, "Wouldn't Marquis Dingkang be worried?"

"Let him worry about it. Our Li'er is such a good wife. It's a good fortune for him to marry her. How could he have the courage to let our Li'er starve?" Su Meng said with a smile.

Gao Shi also nodded, and then said: "If Brother Chang dares to starve Madam Gu, I will teach him a lesson on behalf of Madam Gu."

"That's right. You knew it last time. How badly Mr. Gao beat Chang An. There are plenty of people to help you vent your anger." Su Meng also nodded in response.

Gu Li covered his mouth and smiled, saying, "Okay, okay, Chang Lang won't do that, Sister and Mr. Gao, don't worry."

"Oh right..." Su Meng suddenly thought of something. She said to Zhang Aiyu, "Isn't Mr. Zhang their nephew now? From now on, Aiyu, you don't have to call him Marquis Dingkang anymore. Just call him Mr. or Madam."

"This is not good." Zhang Aiyu was obviously a little bothered.

Chang An said at this time: "It's nothing. Just like Su Meng said just now, since Yi Sun is our nephew, there is no need to call him Marquis Madam. We don't like it either."

Zhang Aiyu nodded and called out tentatively, "Mr. Chang, Madam Gu."

Chang An and Gu Li both nodded, and then the latter asked: "By the way, Madam Zhang, in recent days, and..."

But he suddenly stopped talking halfway, leaned close to Chang An's ear and asked, "Chang Lang, what should I call our nephew?"

"Gu Niang is his elder, so you can just call her by her name." Chang An replied.

"Okay." Gu Li nodded, and then continued to ask Zhang Aiyu: "Madam Zhang, how have you and Yisun been doing these days?"

Zhang Aiyu nodded and said, "It's not bad. Didn't some scholars from outside come to Beijing a few days ago? Aiyu's family has a few more courtyards, so we invited two or three scholars to rent them in. Anyway, it's empty anyway, so it's a good opportunity to rent it out and earn some rent money."

"I heard from Ai Yu that one of them was a talented person who won five prizes in a row."

"Win five prizes in a row?" Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other, and then the former asked, "Madam Zhang, is the man who won five prizes in a row named Li?"

Zhang Aiyu was a little stunned, then nodded, and then said: "Sure... How did Chang Langjun know?"

Chang An smiled and said, "He is my classmate. We have met several times."

"I see." Zhang Aiyu said, "I feel like he is as talented as Chang Langjun, but I feel like he is a little bit inferior to Chang Langjun. I just don't know where the difference is."

Chang An said, "He is a little ignorant of worldly affairs. I would like to ask Madam Zhang to teach him in this regard."

When he said this, Chang An was a little amused. Zhang Aiyu also nodded, thinking that Chang An's words were a request for help. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he asked, "But how do I teach this?"

"How do you teach him?" Chang An took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said, "Just teach him how to get along with others, teach him what the ways of the world are."

Zhang Aiyu nodded and said, "But I see that Mr. Li is very eloquent in his conversation. He doesn't look like one of those people who can't talk."

Chang An shook his head and said, "That should be because Madam Zhang doesn't have much contact with him. You two should just say hello to each other on weekdays. It's normal that you don't know each other well."

"I don't really know much about it, but he came to see me before, and although what he said was good, it was a little awkward."

This is like a newcomer to the workplace, who doesn't understand the ways of the world and knows nothing. If he enters the officialdom, he might be ostracized and targeted.

Zhang Aiyu thought about it for a while, and then said, "If I have a chance, I will remind him a little."

"Thank you, Madam Zhang."

"Does Chang plan to participate in the next spring exam?" Zhang Aiyu asked. "I heard that Li plans to win six prizes in a row."

"I will complete my studies at the end of this year, so naturally I will take part in the Spring Examination." Chang An said.

"Then Ai Yu feels that he can't win six prizes in a row." Zhang Ai Yu said with a smile at this time.

At this time, Gu Li suddenly said, "By the way, Chang Lang."

"uh-huh?"

"Is Chang Lang finishing his final year of studies this year?" asked Gu Li.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"After completing this year's studies, will Chang Lang still have to go back to the Imperial Academy to attend classes?"

Chang An shook his head and said, "You can go, or you can not go."

Seeing the couple talking to each other here, Su Meng couldn't bear it any longer. How long would they last? So she said, "Chang'an, are you stupid? Li'er is asking you if you can stay at home with her if you don't go to the Imperial College next year!"

"Of course. My idea is to not go to class after the annual exam this year." Chang An said.

Gu Li just laughed "hehe" and said nothing. At this time, Zhang Aiyu stood up holding Zhang Ji and said, "Mr. Chang, Madam Gu, Ji'er is still young, and Aiyu can't stay outside for too long, so I'll take my leave for now."

Chang An nodded, and then Su Meng also said: "I'll take Ai Yu back."

"it is good."

Chang An stood up and escorted the two of them outside the house. At this time, Gao Shi also came to his side and said, "Brother Chang, I am also planning to leave. I don't want to bother you any more."

"Okay," Chang An suddenly thought of something, and then asked, "By the way, Brother Gao, have you told Brother Mo Jie about your resignation?"

Gao Shi shook his head and replied, "No, I just resigned today and did not inform my brother. I will leave later and plan to go to my brother to tell him."

Back in the house, Gu Li was sitting at the low table drinking hot tea. Chang An walked over to her, quietly waiting for her to finish the tea in the cup, then picked her up and put her on the bed.

"Come on, Madam Gu, it's time for us to massage our feet."

"Well," Gu Li stretched out his hand to take off his shoes, but he couldn't bend down at all, and then said: "Chang Lang, help me take them off."

"I can't ask for it!"

......

When Zhang Aiyu returned home, she happened to meet Li Weihao and his friends who were about to go out. When Li Weihao and his friends saw Zhang Aiyu coming back, they greeted her politely, "Mrs. Zhang."

"We were just planning to go look for Madam Zhang."

Zhang Aiyu was a little confused, so he asked, "I wonder what the two gentlemen want to see me about?"

"Nothing, I just want to ask Madam Zhang to help Brother Qingming." After the friend pulled Li Weihao in, he said, "Some time ago, Brother Qingming went to seek apology from Marquis Dingkang, but was told by Marquis Dingkang that he didn't know how to speak."

"So I specially pulled him out of the study today, hoping that Madam Zhang would help teach Brother Qingming. Otherwise, if he goes to find Marquis Dingkang in the future, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Zhang Aiyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "When I went to look for Marquis Dingkang just now, Marquis Dingkang also told me the same thing."

"Madam Zhang also knows Marquis Dingkang?!" Li Weihao was a little surprised, and then said, "Let's go inside and talk, so the child won't get cold."

Zhang Aiyu nodded and followed the two back into the house. Li Weihao asked excitedly, "Madam Zhang, do you know Marquis Dingkang? Why haven't I heard Madam Zhang mention this before?"

"Mr. Chang saved my mother and me before, and then we had several interactions, so we naturally became familiar with each other and knew each other," said Zhang Aiyu.

"So Madam Zhang went out just now to look for Marquis Dingkang?"

"Yes, just now, I accidentally told him about Mr. Li's stay at my place, and he asked me to help him. He wanted me to teach Mr. Li some tips on the ways of the world."

Li Weihao and his friend were immediately shocked. His friend said, "Marquis Dingkang is the unity of knowledge and action. He not only said it, but also really did it. He is truly a role model for our generation..."

At this time, Zhang Ji in Zhang Aiyu's arms suddenly started crying and had to be comforted by Zhang Aiyu, so she stood up and said, "The child is crying, I will go back and comfort him first."

"As for teaching Mr. Li, we can start when I come back."

After saying that, Zhang Aiyu left...
