My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

After having dinner at Gu's house, Chang'an and Gu Li wanted to stay there for a while longer, but they were pushed out of the house by Gu Su on the grounds that "Li'er has been pregnant for a long time and it is not appropriate for her to stay outside for a long time."

Helplessly, Chang An had to carry Gu Li into the carriage, then turned around and said goodbye.

But Gu Ke pulled him aside and said, "Don't worry, my dear son-in-law. I have something to give you later."

Chang An stood there in a daze, and then watched a servant walk out of Gu's house with a small box in his hand. When the servant came forward, opened it and showed it to Chang An -

A gold hairpin?

This hairpin is made of twisted gold wire, and the entire hairpin is in a spiral shape. At the end, the gold wire is spread out, and a piece of blue jade is inlaid on it. Then the gold wire goes around the jade and twists again on it, finally forming a phoenix head. The phoenix feather behind the phoenix head is hooked with a golden, spiral branch, and pearls and jade are hung on its top.

"This hairpin... seems to be too valuable. I can't accept it. Even if I accept it, Mother Gu won't accept it." Chang An put his hand on the lid of the box and pushed it back.

"This is a hairpin, not a hairpin." Gu Su smiled and said, "Li'er likes these hairpins the most. You can take them back and make her happy. Isn't that good?"

As she spoke, Gu Su took the hairpin herself, then took Chang An's hand and placed it on top. She said, "You are now a marquis or a lady, and you will surely pass the imperial examination this spring. Why are you still dressing up as simply as before?"

"Put it away quickly. Although Li'er doesn't dress up much on weekdays, you, as her husband, should supervise her well. You can't let a third-rank lady look lower than others."

"You've slept with her for so long, can't you see it? Li'er doesn't dislike dressing up. She obviously feels sorry for the money at home, so she told you that she doesn't like dressing up. What girl doesn't like dressing up?"

Chang An looked at Gu Su, a little absent-minded. Gu Su finally put the box completely in Chang An's hand and said, "Okay, okay, don't let Li'er wait anxiously."

"...Okay, I understand. Thank you, mother-in-law."

After saying that, Chang An got on the carriage and asked the driver to leave.

......

Sitting in the car, Gu Li gently stroked her belly and called softly, "Chang Lang."

"uh-huh?"

"What did my mother say to you just now?"

"I told you about your story." Chang An smiled, then handed the box in his hand to Gu Li and said, "This is what my mother-in-law gave to Gu Niang just now."

Gu Li blinked, a puzzled look all over her body. Then she opened it and found it was a hairpin. She looked at it and seemed to be in a trance.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it?"

"I..." Gu Li didn't know what to say at this moment. She picked up the hairpin, twisted it with her fingers, and said:

"It's a hairpin made of soft gold thread... It's hand-twisted. It's very expensive."

As she spoke, she seemed a little unhappy, and Chang An said, "Okay, okay, since you've left it here, just take it home. No matter how expensive this kind of thing is, it's for people to use. If you don't use it, isn't it a waste?"

"Yes, but it's very expensive." Gu Li said again.

"Okay, okay, no matter how expensive this thing is, it can't be more valuable than the thought of my mother-in-law. Just keep it. I love watching Mother Gu dress up." Chang An took the hairpin with a smile, then put it on Gu Li's head and compared it, and said:

"My mother Gu is just beautiful."

Gu Li smiled, then pretended to be angry and snatched the hairpin from Chang An's hand, saying, "What's so beautiful about it? It's not beautiful!"

"What's not beautiful about her? Gu Niang just loves to lie." Chang An sat next to Gu Li, took her into his arms, gently rubbed her face, and said, "My Gu Niang is the most beautiful."

"Chang Lang is always a chatterbox." Although Gu Li said this, he still obediently leaned towards Chang An.

"Mrs. Gu doesn't like to hear it?"

"I love to listen. Chang Lang, please tell me more."

......

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, Chang An and Gu Li had already returned to Dingkang Marquis's mansion. The former was preparing for the latter's birthday at home. But at this moment, a doorman suddenly rushed in and shouted, "Marquis, Madam, someone from Wang Lecheng's family is here, saying that Madam Wang has given birth!"

When Chang An heard this, he immediately put down the Rensheng in his hand and asked, "Did Madam Cui give birth?"

After he asked, he looked at Gu Li who was sitting opposite him, and then said, "Tell Huaiqin to prepare the horse, I will go over now."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Chang An stood up, walked to Gu Li, and said, "Mother Gu, I'm going to check out the situation and see if there's anything I can help with. Mother Gu will wait for me at home, understand?"

"it is good."

Gu Li nodded, then watched Chang An leave.

Chang An came to the stable, where the groom had already brought out the white horse and put the saddle on it. Chang An jumped on the horse and said to the groom, "Go and tell Huaiqin Zhen'er to take good care of Gu Niang. I'm going!"

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

After saying that, Chang An rode away on his horse, straight out of Anrenfang and headed towards Xuanyangfang.

This was the second time Chang An rode his horse and galloped on the street, and the first and second times were both because of Wang Wei. Riding on the horse, Chang An leaned forward slightly and smiled at this moment.

"Brother Mojie, Brother Mojie, if I get a speeding ticket, the money will be charged to you."

Xuanyangfang and Anrenfang were not far away, and Chang An rode his horse at full speed and soon arrived at Wang Wei's door. At this time, the outside of the house was cleared, after all, it was somewhat impolite to watch others giving birth.

Chang An was riding on a horse, trying to relax his breath. A neighbor who heard Chang An's movements came out and said, "My dear, the mistress of this house is giving birth, so you'd better not pass by here."

"I know, that's what I'm here for."

Chang An said, then he dismounted and said to the neighbor, "Brother Mo Jie is my good friend. He sent someone to look for me, so I came to see if I can help."

After listening to this, the neighbor nodded and said, "So this gentleman is also a friend of Wang Lecheng. One of them has already come just now."

One person has already arrived, it must be Gao Shi.

Chang An nodded, watched his neighbor close the door, tied the horse at the door, and walked straight in. Wang Wei and Gao Shi were sitting on a stone bench in the yard at this time. Gao Shi looked as if he wanted to say something but hesitated, while Wang Wei frowned and looked very nervous.

"Brother Mo Jie."

Chang An called out, and Wang Wei looked up, and after seeing Chang An, he responded, "Brother Yonghe."

"how's it going?"

Chang An asked with concern, but just as he finished asking, he heard the screams of pain from inside again. It seemed to be much more serious than Zhang Aiyu's, so he simply changed the topic and asked:

"How long has Madam Cui been in there?"

"It's been more than two hours." Wang Wei said, "Before the 11th hour, my wife's water broke and she woke up in pain. She has been in pain until now."

Chang An frowned at this time. He thought of Cui Yu's difficult childbirth and the death of her son. This was a historical fact. After all, even Gao Shi was about to leave Chang'an. Could it be that there really was such a thing as the power of historical revision?

"Don't worry, Brother Mojie." Chang An thought of another possibility at this time, "Giving birth for the first time is naturally more difficult and will naturally take longer. Brother Mojie, don't worry."

"Mrs. Cui is in good health now, and the child must be fine too."

"Thank you, Brother Yonghe, for your good words."

Wang Wei stood up at this time, looked in the direction of the delivery room, and then sat down. But after sitting down for a while, he stood up again and stood anxiously in the courtyard.

Chang An didn't know how to help him relieve his mood, after all, he was a new father. When Gu Li gave birth, he would probably be even more anxious.

I waited for almost two more hours, and around noon, a loud voice suddenly came from the delivery room -

"Whoa!"

Upon hearing this voice, Wang Wei froze in place.

"Whoa!"

The second cry completely pulled Wang Wei back from the world outside the gods. He looked as if he had not come back to his senses. Then he turned his head mechanically and looked at Chang An, his lips trembling and his voice trembling:

"Brother Yonghe, I...I..."

Wang Wei couldn't speak clearly anymore, so he could only point to the door of the delivery room. Chang An smiled at him and said, "Yes, Brother Mojie, Madam Cui has given birth."

"Okay!"

Even though Wang Wei was a genius, at this moment he could only utter "Okay!"

At this time, the door opened and the midwife asked, "Where is the baby's father?"

"I'm here!"

At this time, Wang Wei stumbled in. Chang An and Gao Shi also stood at the door, looking inside.

Their eyes were fixed on Wang Wei, while Wang Wei's eyes were fixed on the child in the midwife's arms.

The child's skin was red, and his eyes were tightly closed. Wang Wei finally smiled, with tears in his smile. He carefully reached out his hand and gently touched the child's face, as if to confirm that all this was real.

"Congratulations, Wang Lecheng, you gave birth to a little boy."

"Where is my wife? How is she?" Wang Wei asked directly when he heard the midwife's voice.

"Mrs. Wang was too tired and fell asleep."

"She fell asleep...she fell asleep because she was tired. It's time to take a rest." Wang Wei looked at Cui Yu lying on the bed. The slightly rising and falling quilt also indicated that she was sleeping soundly.
