My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li
Chapter 354: The Prince's Junior Tutor Chang
The matchmakers thought the young marquis was joking, so they said, "Whether it's winning the top spot in the imperial examination or having twin children, they are your own happy events. How can we add someone else's happy event into the mix?"
"My happy event? Tell me about it?" Chang An had already vaguely thought of something in his mind, but he still listened patiently.
When the matchmakers saw Chang An say this, their eyes narrowed into crescents and they said, "It's Huang Zhongcheng from Taipingfang. He has a youngest daughter who just came of age. She's pretty and, most importantly, easy to bear children."
"I have a doctor named Tang from Kaihuafang here. He has a 28-year-old woman at home. Although she is a little thin, she can have children."
"Dr. Xu from Yongjiafang, his daughter just turned 29. Although she is not as pretty as other ladies, she is easy to raise and has a healthy body..."
"Mr. Hu from Changlefang also has a wife who just came of age two days ago. She is also a famous beauty in the neighborhood..."
The more Chang An listened, the deeper his brows furrowed, and he said, "Okay, stop talking."
Before the matchmakers finished talking about the red cards in their hands, they were interrupted by Chang An. They all looked at Chang An in surprise. The guests and neighbors around them also quieted down. Li Ying, Li Ke'er and Li Siqing also came up and stood behind Chang An.
"What do those adults mean?" Li Ying asked at this time.
The matchmakers did not know the identities of the three people, so they said boldly: "It is those gentlemen who want to marry you, Marquis Dingkang, and marry their wives to you, even if it is as a concubine..."
"Then you can go back." Chang An said at this time, "Huaiqin, send someone to return the things they sent. Their gifts will not be accepted."
Several matchmakers immediately became anxious. After all, they had made the marriage a success and there would be more than ten or twenty taels of silver to be gained.
"Marquis Dingkang, you have just received double happiness, don't you want to be more happy?"
"Yes, there are more people at home to serve you, so you don't have to work so hard, Madam Hou."
"The Marquis is still in confinement after childbirth, so you won't be lonely."
At this time, Huaiqin and several servants came back and put the things in their hands at the feet of the matchmakers. Chang An asked, "Are they all here?"
Huaiqin nodded and replied, "It's all here."
Chang An nodded, and then said to the matchmakers: "Go back and tell your masters that I don't need a concubine, let alone their daughters."
"Your Majesty..." Chang An was about to speak, but then he remembered that Li Ke'er was still standing behind him, so he held back his words and changed his words: "After all, before, many officials with higher positions than them wanted to marry me, but I rejected them all."
"What's more, they are several fifth-rank officials?"
"Don't say that, Marquis Dingkang. He is a fifth-rank official after all. It would be easier for us to have another relative in the future."
"Marquis Dingkang, you can be cold to me when you take a concubine, but you still have those sentiments behind you."
Chang An's eyes turned cold, his eyebrows narrowed, and the two children in his arms began to cry. Chang An's face softened instantly, and he turned around and coaxed the children.
"Don't cry, don't cry. Aye is here."
Chang An coaxed softly, switching back and forth between the two modes, the switch was seamless and smooth.
"Marquis Dingkang, are you really not going to consider it?"
"Xiaoguai, don't cry. Erguai, don't cry. Grandpa has taught the bad guys a lesson for you. Can you please stop crying?" Chang An ignored them and walked towards the main hall with the child in his arms.
"Woo-woo-woo, don't cry, don't cry."
While coaxing them, Chang An slowly walked around the main hall. After two circles, the two little ones finally stopped crying and fell asleep in Grandpa's arms.
Huaiqin came forward, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the tears of the two little ones. At this time, Changan handed one child in his arms to Huaiqin and Zhener, and asked them to take the children down to the neighbors to read their fortunes and ask for good luck.
Then he turned around and looked at the matchmakers still standing below, and said, "Look, on a wedding day, gifts from neighbors are not accepted. Do I have to invite you matchmakers to stay for dinner?"
"Please don't ruin the fun of other guests. After all, this is not good for the reputation of you matchmakers."
After all, in the matchmaking business, the most important thing is one's reputation in the industry. If she hit a wall here today and the news gets out, her reputation will be somewhat lower.
Helplessly, they turned around and prepared to leave in shame.
"Wait a minute!"
Several matchmakers turned around happily at this time, thinking that Chang An was going to change his mind: "I wonder if Marquis Dingkang has changed his mind?"
"What are you changing your mind about? Put away your thoughts." Chang An said at this time: "Go back and tell your employer that when you see me in the future, call me Chang Shao Shi, the Chang Shao Shi of the Crown Prince's Shao Shi. Similarly, you can call me Chang Shao Fu or Chang Shao Bao."
"Um... yes, Master Chang."
At this point, the matchmakers picked up their things and ran away. Those who stayed behind to look after Xiaoguai and Erguai were all surprised: The Crown Prince's Junior Tutor! The Crown Prince's teacher! Just by hearing the name, one could tell that his status was not low.
The first level of officialdom crushes people to death!
Although the Prince's Junior Tutor does not have much power, standing behind him is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who does have power.
"I'm sorry, Your Highnesses, for letting you see me lose my composure." Chang An leaned forward slightly and apologized to Li Ying, Li Ke'er and Li Siqing.
Now, the neighbors who came here were even more surprised. They all looked at the noble man and noble lady standing next to Chang An, and hurriedly bowed and greeted: "Greetings, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the Princess."
Li Ying waved her hand and said, "No need to be polite. I don't intend to disturb you today. I just want to see my niece and nephew."
The neighbors all echoed the voice, and after looking at Xiaoguai and Erguai, they left with various reasons.
At this time, Huaiqin and Zhen'er took the child back and put it in Chang'an's arms. Gu Su was a little embarrassed at this time, and Chang'an walked over and asked:
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong?"
"Are these three really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess?" Gu Su was a little nervous at this moment. After all, she was just a woman, and she was naturally subconsciously nervous about such important figures.
Chang An nodded, and Gu Su stood up immediately, and was about to salute the three princes. But at this moment, Li Keer hurried forward, supported Gu Su, and said:
"Mrs. Gu, there's no need to be so polite. We are just here to see Xi today. There's no need to be so reserved."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
At this time, Chang Wenmeng's voice came from the door: "Yonghe!"
As he said that, he walked in and came directly in front of Chang An. After seeing the three princes, he bowed and then went directly in front of Xiaoguai and Erguai.
"Father, I have given birth to two children. Are you satisfied?"
Chang Wenmeng smiled at this time, patted Chang An and said, "Satisfied, of course I am satisfied. Even if you only give birth to a daughter, I am satisfied as a father."
Gu Su smiled and walked forward and asked, "Father-in-law, why didn't you come on the second day of the New Year?"
"Oh, I had some things to deal with in the Imperial College at that time, so I didn't have time to come. It just so happens that today is a wedding, and I came to see my two grandchildren by the way." Chang Wenmeng said with a smile at this time.
Maybe it was because Chang Wenmeng's voice was too loud, but the two little ones in Chang An's arms opened their eyes. Chang Wenmeng said in surprise, "The eyes are really pretty. Which one is my sister?"
"The one with brighter eyes is my sister." Chang An explained.
"Hey, you're all so cute." Chang Wenmeng reached out his hand and gently touched Xiaoguai. Then he raised his head and asked, "How is Li'er? Is he okay?"
"Mrs. Gu is in good health. She can read a book now." Chang An said.
Chang Wenmeng nodded, and Li Siqing said, "Marquis Dingkang, why not send the child back to the Marquis' wife? The child has seen some guests here, and he must be tired."
"it is good."
Chang An nodded, and walked over with the two little ones in his arms. Chang Wenmeng hadn't seen enough at this time, so he could only watch Chang An leave reluctantly. Seeing Chang Wenmeng like this, Gu Su smiled and said:
"Father-in-law, there is no need to do this. There will be plenty of time to look after the children in the future."
"I know, I just haven't seen enough today. I'll make up for it later."
Afterwards, Chang Wenmeng sat down with the guests around him and began to communicate.
Chang An brought Xiao Guai and Er Guai back to the room. Gu Li was reading a book at the time. When he noticed Chang An coming back, he called out "Chang Lang".
Seeing that Chang An wanted to give the child to her, Gu Li put the book aside and took the child. Seeing that the two little ones still had their eyes open, she asked distressedly:
"Didn't they sleep just now? Are they awake all the time to recognize the guests?"
"No, I was scared and cried just now, so I fell asleep...for a while." Chang An said halfway, and seemed to realize that he had let the cat out of the bag, and his voice began to gradually become smaller.
Gu Li frowned slightly and asked, "You are so scared and crying, what happened? Did the guest do it on purpose?"
"No." Chang An explained at this time: "A few officials found a matchmaker to propose marriage, and they also said that they wanted three happy things to happen together."
When Gu Li heard this, his brows furrowed even deeper. Chang An immediately said, "Don't worry, Madam Gu. I've driven them away. I won't take a concubine. Don't worry. I only love Madam Gu."
"It's okay. Chang Lang is in a high position now, and many people want to do the same."
Gu Li shook his head and said so, but there was still some different emotion in his eyes, as if he was lost.
