My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

The two kids heard Gu Li's shyness for the first time, and they were at a loss. They thought that their father had bullied their mother, so they ran forward, hit Chang An with their tender fists, and said:

"Aye, don't bully my mother!"

The two little ones said this, and Chang An was a little overwhelmed, and quickly explained: "I didn't hit my mother, I didn't hit my mother..."

Xiaoguai and Erguai stopped at this time, and then looked at each other in confusion, and then Erguai said: "But my mother is crying, and my father-in-law doesn't bully my mother, so why would my mother cry?"

"It was Aye who bullied A Niang!"

As they were talking, the two little ones were about to raise their little pink fists to hit Chang An, but fortunately, Gu Li stepped in and pinned the two little ones down.

"Aye didn't bully Aye. Xiaoguai and Erguai please stop hitting Aye, okay?" Gu Li's face was still red at this time, but he still had to explain to Xiaoguai and Erguai.

"But why is mother crying?" Xiaoguai asked.

Gu Li subconsciously touched her face, it wasn't wet, just a little hot. She explained: "Mother didn't cry, she just felt unwell."

Erguai then asked, "Previously, Aunt Huaiqin said that my mother got sick because she saved my father. Is that true?"

Gu Li and Chang An were both stunned for a moment, and they looked at each other - Gu Li's lung disease had been cured long ago when he gave birth to the two cubs. Now even coughing is a very rare thing. It can be said that he is very healthy.

"I'm not sick, I just have a fever, it's okay."

Although the two little ones had wrong thoughts, such concern still warmed Gu Li's heart. She reached out and touched the heads of the two siblings.

"Okay, Xiaoguai and Erguai, go play with your toys. It will be time for dinner soon." Gu Li said.

"it is good!"

The two little ones were still children after all. When they heard that their mother was fine, they happily ran to the couch to play.

Gu Li looked at Chang An at this time. The other party smiled foolishly at her. She suddenly became a little angry and stretched out her hand to poke Chang An.

"It's all Chang Lang's fault!"

......

On the second day of the seventh lunar month, Gu Li was pregnant and had entered a period of late sleep. After Chang An got up, he washed up quietly and went to the front yard to ask people to prepare for the birthday party.

In the morning, he arranged the banquet and the activities for the Zhongyuan Festival. After arranging everything, Chang An returned to his room.

He sat down beside the bed, and seemingly because of the noise, Gu Li opened his eyes.

"Hmm~ Chang Lang..."

Gu Li didn't care that he couldn't see anything when he just opened his eyes, he just shouted softly based on his feeling.

"I'm here." Chang An leaned over and kissed Gu Li on the cheek.

Gu Li was kissed, hummed with satisfaction, and then leaned towards Chang An. Chang An smiled dotingly. They had been married for a long time, and every time Gu Li slept late, she liked to get close to him. He simply picked Gu Li up and let her fall into his arms.

"Why do you still want to hold me while sleeping? What if Xiaoguai and Erguai come in and see us?"

"Hmm~ Just for a while, not long..."

Gu Li didn't think about it at all, and held Chang An's clothes tightly in her hands. After a while, she reluctantly came out of Chang An's arms, and then got out of bed to wash up.

After she washed up, Chang An took out the prepared clothes and put them on her. This dress was made when Chang An helped to quell the rebellion of Quan Chubi in Chang'an City. When Li Longji came back, he was very pleased and ordered a famous embroidery in the palace to sew a colorful dress for Gu Li.

This dress is made of the finest silk, light and soft, with a smooth touch. The color of the dress is a deep and noble purple-red, as if it was captured from the sunset in the sky, and it also fits Gu Li's current status as a second-rank county lady.

The clothes are embroidered with exquisite patterns, interwoven with gold and silver threads. The patterns are mainly flowers and birds, which are lifelike and seem to fly out of the clothes at any time. Each flower blooms with brilliant colors, and each bird shows a smart posture.

The collar and cuffs of the colorful dress are inlaid with a circle of fine pearls, each of which is round and full, exuding a soft luster. These pearls not only add a sense of magnificence to the dress, but also make people feel the noble status of the owner.

The skirt is wide and flowing, and the woman walks as naturally as flowing water. The skirt is embroidered with layers of petals, and there are ribbons intertwined at the arms. As she moves, the petals seem to sway in the wind, and the ribbons follow like thin clouds, which is beautiful.

“This dress is just beautiful.”

This dress is very beautiful and expensive. Gu Li is reluctant to wear it on weekdays. She only wears it on holidays when she goes out to attend big events.

After changing clothes, Chang An took her to the dressing table.

"Mrs. Gu, please sit down. Today, Chang Lang will do your makeup, okay?"

"it is good."

Gu Li nodded gently, and her long black hair began to sway as she nodded, as if a waterfall was really falling from the sky. Chang An sat behind Gu Li, picked up the wooden comb with the snowy scene of Meilin carved on it, and gently combed Gu Li's hair.

Then, he made a bun that Gu Li often made, and gently inserted the phoenix-head hairpin to secure it. But it seemed that it was not beautiful enough, so he embedded a hairpin in her head and hung some hair accessories, and then he was satisfied.

After dressing her up according to Gu Li's favorite makeup method, Chang An put his hand on her shoulder and asked with a smile:

"How is it, Madam Gu, does it look good?"

"Is Chang Lang asking about me or Chang Lang's makeup?" Gu Li asked back at this time.

"Of course it's Mrs. Gu who thinks she's pretty or not."

"Then Chang Lang should not ask me this question, but ask Chang Lang himself." Gu Li looked at Chang An through the mirror, and that smile was simply beautiful!

Chang An then went over and hugged Gu Li's abdomen, saying, "It's beautiful. My mother Gu is the most beautiful."

"loquacious."

Gu Li blushed, and at this time Chang Qi and Chang Qi came in, holding Xiaoguai and Erguai. After coming in, the two sisters put the two little ones down and let them run towards Gu Li.

"Mother, mother!"

"This is a gift from Aye to Aniang!"

Erguai then raised the box and stuffed it into Gu Li's hand. Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and then heard the two little ones shouting sweetly, "Happy birthday, mother!"

"Mother looks so good today!"

Gu Li laughed when he heard the two little kids' innocent voices, then pulled them over and kissed each of them. Chang An then said, "Mother Gu, open the things quickly, it's gold."

Gu Li smiled, then opened the box. He was stunned when he saw what was inside - a golden abacus! Although it was small, it was made entirely of gold, and even the beads on it could be moved.

"Chang Lang! Is this pure gold?"

Chang An nodded, but at this time he pressed down the small golden abacus with his hand and said, "But you are not allowed to bite it."

"No bite, no bite." Gu Li was now happily holding the small golden abacus and fiddling with it in his palm.

Chang An then asked, "Are you satisfied now, Madam Gu?"

"Why are you not satisfied? Could it be that Chang Lang has a bigger plan?" Gu Li said with a smile on his face.

Chang An laughed even louder now, and shouted towards the door: "Huaiqin Zhener! Bring it in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huaiqin and Zhen'er came in with a big box, placed it next to Gu Li, and then opened it -

"Oh!"

"Chang Lang! This..."

Gu Li's eyes froze when she saw the big golden abacus. She pulled Chang An and pointed at the golden abacus, and said after a long while:

"This... this is also made of gold!"

After seeing Chang An nod, Gu Li was even more surprised, and then said: "This is so expensive! We can't spend our money like this."

"It's not a waste," Chang An picked up the golden abacus and put it in Gu Li's hand.

"Since Gu Niang started keeping accounts, our family has never missed a single income or expenditure, and this is all thanks to Gu Niang. Whether it's because of her birthday or because of her credit for keeping accounts, it should be given as a gift. Gu Niang deserves to be the golden abacus of our family."

"This is so expensive, it's all gold." Gu Li's eyes were red at this time and he looked like he was about to cry.

Chang An touched her face and said, "It's nothing. We have a lot of gold in our family. Besides, this is my private savings. Don't worry, Madam Gu."

Gu Li was holding the golden abacus at this time, looking at Chang An with slightly red eyes, and said: "Thank you Chang Lang, I like it very much."

"It's nothing, this is what I should do." Chang An said, and helped her stand up, "Put your things away, let's go out and celebrate your birthday now!"

"Ah."

There were still some guests in the front yard. Wang Wei and Cui Yu were holding Wang Youpeng in their arms, and there were also elderly people like Yuan Qianyao, Chang Wenmeng, and Song Jing.

But in a certain position, there was another woman, the one he least wanted to see at the moment: Wu Qinghui. She was accompanied by an eunuch named Cheng, who was holding a box in his hand.

Although Chang An didn't have to bow to her, she had to bow. So she stood up and bowed to Chang An as the only one in the main hall: "Greetings, Duke Kangguo."

Although Chang An was hostile to her, he couldn't show too much unnaturalness in front of Gu Li. He nodded slightly and responded: "Greetings, Concubine Wu."

"I have heard before that the Lady of Zichuan County is extremely beautiful, and that she and Duke Kangguo are a perfect match. Seeing her today, I can see that her reputation is indeed well-deserved."

Gu Li didn't know the grudge between the two, so he also wanted to greet them, "Greetings, Concubine Wu."

"Duke Kangguo doesn't need to bow, and the Lady of the County doesn't need to bow either." Concubine Wu smiled and said, "I am a guest, so how can the host bow to the guest?"
