My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

After saying this, Chang An turned around and was about to go in, but at this moment another old man called out to him, "Master Chang, please stay."

Chang An did not intend to stop at this time, but walked directly into the mansion gate. The old man said again: "Master Chang, please don't be angry. It was us who offended Master Chang. I hope Master Mo will forgive me."

"These are the gifts I brought with me. We have made a personal connection today. I hope Master Chang will not despise them."

This man is old for a reason. Although he can only get by in the fourth or fifth rank, he still knows a lot about the ways of the world. Chang An turned around and saw the old official holding a basket and preparing to come forward.

"There are people who understand the situation." Chang An smiled and seemed to be no longer angry, but his words sounded a bit strange in the ears of those officials.

"You keep waiting. If you really want to marry me..." Chang An seemed to have given in at this time, and the officials were shocked when they heard it.

As a result, Chang An's next words made the ministers even more angry:

"Why don't you marry me yourself? Don't worry, I will give you the betrothal gift, not a penny less." Chang An said jokingly, "The one who wants to get married is you, not your daughter. Why do you have to bring your daughter to please me? It's better for you to come by yourselves."

"You are so brave! How dare you insult the court officials! How dare you!" One of them was so angry that he pointed at Chang An and cursed.

How dare you? Chang An walked directly in front of him, glanced at the young lady standing behind him, and said, "Stand a step away."

"what you up to!"

The woman subconsciously took a step back, and then screamed in fear: "Father!"

Chang An had already walked back to his doorstep. He loosened his wrist and said, "Old bones are old bones. They are really hard."

The official who was slapped was lying on the ground, supported by his daughter. From this angle, he could look up at Chang An. He was so angry that he raised his hand, pointed at Chang An, and wanted to curse:

"How dare you!"

"I just don't believe that none of these ladies have an ideal husband! I also don't believe that these ladies are willing to marry me as concubines." But Chang An ignored him and just said so.

At this time, Chang An was about to continue speaking, but at this time a cursing voice came from the side: "What's going on? Didn't I clear the road in advance before I went out?"

"I want to see you today, how could someone be so ungrateful?"

It was Li Ying's voice, and the officials immediately made way, not daring to block the prince's carriage. Then, Li Ying's carriage arrived in front of Chang An, and when he got off the carriage, he winked at Chang An:

"Well, what I just said was good, right?"

Li Ying came up to Chang An, who nodded slightly, then called the doorman and said, "Please send the carriage to the stables for His Highness, and don't damage it."

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

Li Ying looked at the people below and asked, "Who are these people?"

"Oh, Your Highness, they are all people who are trying to commit treason." Chang An said with a look of "disapproval", "and some of them want to make random relatives. They want their grandson to become Your Highness's nephew."

All of a sudden, the officials became anxious and said quickly, "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. This man just started beating people because of a disagreement!"

"And he even cursed me directly, which is disrespectful!"

Li Ying frowned slightly at this time, turned around and asked secretly: "You are insulting, what did you say?"

"Damn it."

Li Ying nodded, then turned around and shouted, "Why did Marquis Dingkang have to scold you? Why did he have to beat you? Don't you know why?"

"He is my teacher now. You are the ones who committed the crime of disobeying me first. He..." Li Ying turned around and asked, "Did you hit them? How did you do it?"

"A slap."

Li Ying immediately responded: "He just slapped you in the face and didn't send you to the Dali Temple to be punished. You are lucky! You can't be unaware that he and the Dali Temple Minister are friends."

By now, these ministers knew that the Crown Prince was clearly showing favoritism. Then Li Ying asked again, "You just said, whose child wants to recognize me as his uncle?"

"Your Highness! This person made this up in an attempt to frame us."

"We dare not claim any kinship with Your Highness! Please be discerning!"

"This person has ruined our reputation. Your Highness, please do not listen to his slanderous words."

Li Ying said at this time: "Whether it is a rumor or a false accusation, don't I know? Do I need you to tell me the truth?"

The officials were stunned and felt a little strange. Then, as expected, Li Ying said, "This palace and my two sisters have made an agreement with Marquis Dingkang that every child of Marquis Dingkang will be the nephew of this palace and the two princesses."

"And this was all allowed by my father, and my father witnessed it with his own eyes. Did you hear about it and want to get married?"

Those officials just stayed where they were. Although they didn't know whether what the prince said was true or false, regardless of whether it was true or false, it was obvious that he was biased towards Chang An.

At this time, Chang An said, "Your Highness, let's go in and talk."

Li Ying had been annoyed with these old guys who "craved Chang'an's body" for a long time. He had heard of them before, and had only seen one or two of them. But he didn't expect to see so many shameless people today.

"What about them? Should we chase them away?"

"Leave them alone. They didn't enter my house. Whether they want to stand here or leave, I have no control over it." After Chang An said this, he took Li Ying into the house, and then the doorman closed the door heavily.

......

After returning to the room, Gu Li heard the door open and looked towards the door out of habit. When he saw Li Ying, he was stunned for a moment, then shouted:

"Your Highness?"

Su Meng also stood up at this time, bowed to Li Ying, and said, "Greetings, Your Highness."

"No gift, no gift."

Li Ying waved her hand, Chang An returned to the bedside, and Gu Li whispered "Chang Lang". Chang An smiled and whispered lovingly, "Did Gu Niang miss me just now?"

"I do." Gu Li nodded, then glanced at Li Ying and asked, "Your Highness, are you here today for something important?"

Chang An was reminded at this time, and then he stood up and asked, "I wonder what your highness is doing today?"

"If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I'm here to send Shu Xiu off." Li Ying finally came to her senses and asked Yang Shu to bring the things over.

Yang Shu immediately presented a box, and then opened it: five pieces of silk, a pot of wine, a table, and five pieces of rice, the standard apprenticeship gift - of course, if you ignore the large amount of gold inside.

Li Ying said at this time: "This bundle of silk is from a famous family, the dried meat is also the best tribute from Tubo, and the wine is the good wine brewed by the winemaker in our palace."

"Besides, I didn't even give any gifts to the three old men before you, so I just let them teach me for nothing - although their teaching was not that good either."

The ancient ritual of paying tuition was very important, after all, it was a tradition left by Confucius. If the tuition was not paid, the students would not be teachers and students, and the students would not have any rights.

It’s like not being allowed to go to school if you don’t pay tuition.

The three old men before were only temporary tutors to the crown prince, so it was normal that they did not have to pay the tuition. However, Chang An was officially appointed as the tutor to the crown prince by Li Longji, and he had served in this position for three consecutive years, so of course he had to pay the tuition.

Chang An picked up the gold and asked tentatively, "Your Highness, could it be that this gold... is also part of the land?"

"Of course, although you are a human being and only need to pay tuition to one teacher. But after all, you are different, a little different from other teachers." Li Ying nodded and said.

"Why is it different?"

Chang An felt a little funny at this time, but the reason given by Li Ying made him speechless: "You are the position of three teachers, I think it is reasonable to give you three tuition fees."

"It's just that we can't change the rules of our ancestors. I might as well change it to gold. The value is the same anyway. You can buy these things with the gold."

When Li Ying said this, he looked calm and composed - but that was normal, as these things were just a drop in the bucket for him.

Although Gu Li was in confinement, her eyes lit up when she saw so much golden gold. Chang An naturally noticed the light in her eyes and stuffed a piece of gold into her hand to play with.

But he regretted it the next second, and quickly reached out to cover her mouth - "Don't bite it, Madam Gu, it's real gold, and it's dirty."

But Gu Li frowned, as if dissatisfied. After Chang An let go of her hand, she said, "I am dirty now too. Chang Lang still touches me every day. I just bit a piece of gold, but Chang Lang was not happy."

Seeing Gu Li's coquettish look, Chang An said, "It's not that I'm not happy, it's mainly because this gold is really hard to swallow."

Then Su Meng's voice came over: "Chang'an, you are so good. Li'er is in Yue now, and you still want to touch her? Are you a human being? What's the difference between you and those people in the restaurant?"

As she spoke, Su Meng slapped Chang An's hand away, then stood in front of Chang An holding a baby.

"I didn't do anything. It's just what Gu Niang and I did before, and what we are doing now." Chang An looked confused and felt a little puzzled.

"She gave birth to your child, can't you just keep quiet for a month? No matter how much you two love each other, you can't joke about human body." Su Meng said at this time.

"No, I can't even... even kiss you on the face?"
