My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

At the beginning of December, when the noon bell rang, Zhou Xuezheng stopped lecturing and said, "Okay, let's end today's class here."

Afterwards, Zhou Xuezheng put the book back on the table and said, "Tomorrow is the winter solstice holiday. Students should review their lessons after returning home. The annual examination will be held again this month."

Chang An stretched out his arms and said, "Let's pack up and go home."

Huaiqin nodded, then smiled and said, "Sanniang can be happy for a long time again."

"Why do you say that?"

"Young Master can accompany Sanniang for another seven days. Sanniang will naturally be happy." Huaiqin said.

Chang An smiled, and then said, "I didn't go out much during the winter solstice last year, so why don't I take Gu Niang out for a walk this winter solstice."

The two walked out of the classroom one after the other. Chang An took a deep breath, and then Huai Qin said, "But Sanniang has been gone for a while now. I wonder where you plan to take her to play?"

"I don't know yet. I'll find out when I go back and ask Mother Gu." Chang An spread his hands to show that he hadn't thought about it. "Don't you have any idea who is in charge of the family?"

Huaiqin nodded and said, "That's true..."

At this moment, Li Weihao's voice suddenly came from behind: "Marquis Dingkang, please stay."

Chang An turned around, looked at Li Weihao and his friends, and asked, "What's wrong with Mr. Li? Is there anything wrong?"

Li Weihao bowed slightly, looking very respectful, and said, "Marquis Dingkang, some of us from outside the province have reserved a place at Zuiyun Tower tomorrow. I wonder if Marquis Dingkang would be so kind as to come and join us?"

Chang An glanced at Huai Qin, thinking that he was just about to fall asleep and needed a pillow, so he asked, "Can my wife go?"

"The wife of Marquis Dingkang is also a talented woman. We have heard the song "Thinking of You" during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Of course she can do it." Li Weihao agreed.

Chang An nodded and said, "That's no problem. I just want to take my wife out for some fresh air."

"Thank you, Marquis Dingkang, for your presence."

"But I'd like to make it clear in advance that if you propose a literary contest, I will not participate. I will just watch from the sidelines. I wonder if Mr. Li is willing to accept it?"

Li Weihao nodded and said, "Of course, no problem."

"In that case, I wonder when the poetry reading will start tomorrow and when we need to arrive?" Chang An nodded and asked again.

"You can arrive early after noon tomorrow. I will be waiting for you in Zuiyun Tower by then."

"Okay, in that case, I'll leave first."

"Marquis Dingkang, take care."

......

When Chang An returned home, he saw Gu Li already waiting at the door.

"Chang Lang!"

Gu Li was standing under the eaves at this time, trying to stretch out her hand to shield Chang An from the snow. Chang An also quickly came to her side and said, "Just after school, Mr. Li invited me to participate in the poetry meeting tomorrow, so I came back a little late."

As he said that, he took the umbrella from Gu Li's hand. Gu Li also freed his hands and took out a handkerchief to wipe the snow off Chang An's body. While wiping the snow, he asked, "What poetry meeting?"

"It's a poetry gathering where candidates from other places invite candidates from Chang'an to write poetry together." Chang An said with a smile, then helped Gu Li walk into the mansion.

"Did Chang Lang agree?"

Chang An replied: "They also agreed to let Gu Niang go with them, and I just happened to be planning to take Gu Niang out for a walk, so I just agreed."

Gu Li frowned slightly and said, "But I am just a woman. I don't have to attend the poetry gathering of scholars like you, Chang Lang."

But Chang An said, "I also said that I want to take Gu Niang out for a walk and get some fresh air. And now someone is planning to take charge of this matter, I have no reason to disagree."

"Besides, I have already stated that I will participate in their fight tomorrow, just to go out for a cup of tea."

"Could it be that Chang Lang asked me if I could go, and then Chang Lang made this decision?" Gu Li said, suddenly realizing.

"That's right." Chang An nodded. "They also said that Gu Niang is also a talented woman. They also know about the poem "Thinking of You" that Gu Niang wrote during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Naturally, she can participate."

"what!"

Gu Li was stunned for a moment, then said, "Have they read my poems too?"

Chang An nodded slightly and looked at Gu Li with a smile. Suddenly, Gu Li's cheeks turned red and he said, "I'm so embarrassed! Others saw this... If I had known, I would not have participated in that competition..."

"Okay, okay," Chang An touched Gu Li's face and said, "Others will know it if they know it. It's impossible to let someone silence them. That would be too bad."

"All right......"

......

The next day, after Chang An and Gu Li had lunch, the former carried the latter to bed and gently took off her shoes and socks. Gu Li asked, "What's wrong, Chang Lang? Aren't we going to attend Mr. Li's poetry meeting later?"

"Don't be in a hurry. Massage Gu Niang's 'radish' first. It won't take much time. It won't be too late to go later." Chang An said, and began to massage Gu Li.

"Where is the 'radish'?" Gu Li pouted and said with some dissatisfaction, and then asked: "When will the poetry meeting end?"

"I don't know. If we get bored, we can leave at any time." Chang An said, "Then we can buy some things. We will start eating dumplings in two days on the winter solstice."

"Hmm!" Gu Li touched his waist and said, "Then we must bring enough silver and buy more things. Maybe there will be guests coming by then."

"Mrs. Gu is the most powerful one in Marquis Dingkang's mansion. She has the final say." Chang An raised his head and said mischievously to Gu Li.

"loquacious."

While chatting and laughing, Chang An massaged Gu Li's feet, then helped her sit on the bed and put on her socks and shoes. After putting them on, he helped her stand up. At this time, Chang An suddenly asked, "When Gu Niang stands up, can you see the ground?"

Gu Li lowered his head innocently at this time, then shook his head and said, "My belly is too big, I can't see the ground."

Chang An touched Gu Li's belly, then took a coat and cloak from the hanger beside him and put them on Gu Li. Finally, he took out a blanket, folded it and let Gu Li hold it in front of his belly.

"Then let's set off now."

Gu Li nodded, and was led by Chang An out of the room and went straight to the gate of Dingkang Marquis's Mansion. After getting on the carriage, the couple went directly to Zuiyun Tower in Pingkangfang.

......

After arriving at Zuiyun Tower, Chang An and Gu Li got off the carriage one after another. Li Weihao walked out of Zuiyun Tower and greeted them, "Marquis Dingkang, Madam Dingkang."

Chang An and Gu Li both nodded slightly to him as a greeting, and then followed him in. At this time, Zuiyun Tower was once again reserved. It seemed that these foreign candidates were not poor and destitute.

Li Weihao brought Chang An and Gu Li to the top seat, then pointed and said, "Marquis Dingkang, Madam, this is your seat."

Chang An was a little surprised at this time and asked, "Who will host this poetry gathering?"

"No talent, it's me."

"Then why don't you sit in the main seat, but let us come?" Chang An felt a little funny at this time, and asked again.

Li Weihao then explained: "Although I am the host of this poetry gathering, Marquis Dingkang is our distinguished guest and the most distinguished person. It is natural that Marquis Dingkang should sit in the main seat."

"This is not only my decision, but also the unanimous decision of all the talented scholars present. Therefore, I hope Marquis Dingkang and his wife will not refuse."

Chang An and Gu Li looked at each other. Now that things had come to this, if they didn't sit down, they would be giving others no face. Helplessly, the couple had to sit in the main seat.

Afterwards, a maid came up with a tray and served tea to Chang An and Gu Li. Then Li Weihao said, "Everyone, thank you for coming today on Qingming Festival and for being willing to participate in my poetry gathering."

"Similarly, I am very grateful to Marquis Dingkang and his wife for being willing to attend this poetry gathering."

All of a sudden, everyone present, except Chang An and Gu Li, applauded. Seeing this, Chang An naturally had to stand up and respond to the students' enthusiasm. He raised his hand and bowed to the crowd below.

Then there was another round of greetings to Chang An and Gu Li: "Meet the Marquis Dingkang and meet the Marquis Dingkang's wife."

"No need to be so polite, everyone. We are all here to attend the poetry meeting today, so there is no need to be so formal." Chang An said, pressing his hand down.

"Xie Dingkang Hou."

Chang An then sat down, and Li Weihao said directly: "In this case, then I announce that today's Winter Solstice Poetry Festival..."

"It has officially begun!"
