My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li
Chapter 6 Naji and Nazheng
Today, Chang An got up early as usual, and Huaiqin got up right after Chang An and brought the basin for washing in. Huaiqin glanced at Chang An, who was sitting on the bed in a mess. She was no longer surprised by this.
"Sir, the divination from the matchmaker has come out today. After school ends today, we have to go to the Gu residence to hand in the engagement letter and the gift money." While Huaiqin was busy with her work, she told Chang'an about today's schedule.
"Is it out now? Then you can make some arrangements later. When you are on leave from school, go to Yanshoufang and pick up the jewelry you ordered earlier."
Chang An walked to the basin and talked while washing himself. After these few days, he gradually adapted to his current identity and the fact that he had traveled through time.
While Chang'an was washing up, Huaiqin went out and gave a few instructions to the servants, then came back to help Chang'an get dressed.
"Have you prepared all the betrothal gifts for the marriage?"
"Everything is ready and will be taken over today." Huaiqin replied while helping Chang'an put on his clothes.
"Have you finished copying the etiquette book?"
"I have copied it. The young master has prepared so many betrothal gifts that one book is barely enough to write it all."
After tidying up their clothes, the two came to the door. There were two carriages parked at the door. One was for Chang An himself, and the other had two or three servants loading things up. It looked like it was a carriage carrying the betrothal gifts.
Chang Wenmeng came to the door with Chang An Huaiqin. Chang Wenmeng saw the two carriages at the door and asked, "These two carriages, do you want to take two carriages?"
Chang An saw Chang Wenmeng and quickly bowed, explaining, "Father, one car is for Chang An to go to school, and the other is for the betrothal gifts and gift money that I will take to the Gu Mansion after school is over."
"Oh?!" Chang Wenmeng walked forward, opened the curtain, and saw three or four large boxes inside, as well as goose cages placed on top of the boxes. He was a little surprised, "So many?!"
"No...no?" Chang An saw his father's expression and thought it was inappropriate.
"Sure! Why not! It's too good!" Chang Wenmeng laughed, then patted Chang An's shoulder vigorously, "You and Huaiqin go to the Imperial College first, I'll have someone add another box of gift money, and then send a few more people to help you move your things."
"I thought I bought too much and my father was not very satisfied." Chang An breathed a sigh of relief and said while scratching his head.
"You should give this many things when you marry someone." Chang Wenmeng said, "Okay, okay, you go to the Imperial College first, and I will have someone send this cart of things to the Imperial Academy later."
"Yes, father." After saying that, Chang An took Huaiqin into the car and headed towards the Imperial Academy.
When he arrived at the Imperial College, Du Chengming asked him to chat as usual. When school was over, Du Chengming wanted to continue chatting with Chang An, but Chang An declined on the grounds that he had to go to deliver the betrothal gift.
Chang An came to the gate of the Imperial College with his book box. In addition to the carriage he was going to take, another carriage was already waiting there as Chang Wenmeng said. He nodded with satisfaction and got on the carriage under the curious pointing of other students.
According to the morning arrangement, Chang An first came to the jewelry store in the West Market. When the waiter of the jewelry store saw Chang An, he came up to him and asked, "Sir, are you here to pick up jewelry?"
"Exactly."
"Please come with me."
The waiter turned and walked towards a small room. Chang An and Huai Qin looked at each other and then followed him.
The two followed the waiter to the small room, where the owner of the jewelry store was also, holding a necklace in his hand, and was amazed. When he saw Chang An coming, the owner handed the necklace to him and said, "I have never seen such exquisite jewelry. Even if I made it myself, I still feel that it is a work of art beyond imagination."
Chang An took the necklace. The base material of the necklace was platinum. The whole necklace was polished very smoothly and looked very shiny. The appearance was based on the drawing given by Chang An. The main body of the necklace was made of interlocking elliptical rings. In the middle of the necklace, there was a pendant groove, which was inlaid with polished diamonds. The largest one was in the middle, and there were several smaller ones around it.
"These are the earrings, bracelets, hairpins and rings."
Chang An put down the necklace and picked up the most important diamond ring. This diamond ring was also impeccably made - a platinum ring with three diamonds inlaid on it. It was not particularly gorgeous, but it was exquisite.
"That's what I want. Help me get some nice boxes to put it in." Chang An put the diamond ring back. Huai Qin also took out two silver ingots from her purse and handed them to the shopkeeper. "This is the labor fee, plus the drawings are all given to you. How about it?"
"Oh, thank you very much, sir."
Chang'an and Huaiqin returned to the jewelry shop, took the box of diamond jewelry handed to them by the waiter, got on the carriage, and drove straight to Gu's Mansion.
When he and his servants arrived at the lobby of the Gu Mansion, everyone including Matchmaker Wang was already there.
When Matchmaker Wang saw Chang An, she walked up to him with joy, holding a piece of red paper and saying, "Oh, Mr. Chang, good news, good news!"
"What good news?" Chang An asked, pretending to be very interested.
"I went to a fortune teller a few days ago to ask for the fortune of Chang Langjun and Gu Sanniang. Do you know what the fortune teller said?" Matchmaker Wang clapped her hands and continued, "The horoscopes of Chang Langjun and Gu Sanniang are very compatible. Not only do they not conflict with each other, but they are also very auspicious."
"Thank you very much, Matchmaker Wang." Chang An bowed to Matchmaker Wang and happened to glance at Gu Li who was sitting on the side. He saw that she was holding a small box in her hand, which should be the engagement token for today.
"Why are you still standing there, Mr. Chang? Why don't you go and exchange the token with Sanniang?"
"That's natural."
Chang An turned around, took the box of diamond jewelry and the engagement letter from Huaiqin, came to Gu Li, and handed the two items to her. Gu Li took the box and opened it, and the diamond jewelry in the box also came into her sight. These pieces of jewelry were reflected in her dark eyes, as if her eyes were shining with stars.
"This jewelry is so beautiful. Where did Mr. Chang find it?"
"These are several pieces of jewelry designed by me. Each piece is made of platinum as the base material, implying that the future marriage will be as pure and flawless as platinum. The diamonds are used for embellishment. Diamonds are polished from diamonds, and diamonds themselves are extremely hard, which also indicates that the future marriage will be as strong as diamonds, which is stronger than gold." Chang An explained.
"This apartment is really good." Gu Li closed the lid of the box, put it away, and then handed his small box and his letter of appointment to Chang An.
Chang An opened the box, and inside lay a finely crafted jade pendant, which was carved with a heart-shaped knot, and its surface was as white as sticky rice, and it seemed to be warm to the touch. He was so fascinated by it that he actually took the jade pendant out of the box, reached out and took off the original jade pendant on his waist, and hung this heart-shaped jade pendant on it.
The jade pendant was carved by Gu Li himself. When he saw Chang An wearing it around his waist in front of everyone, his cheeks couldn't help but feel slightly hot.
Chang An saw Gu Li's face turn red, and he knew what the jade pendant was about. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He quickly changed the subject, bowed to Gu Ke, pointed to the boxes behind him and said:
"Mr. Gu, this is the betrothal gift I prepared. Please accept it." As she said that, Huaiqin walked up to Gu Ke and handed the gift letter in her hand to him.
Gu Ke also took the gift book with a smile, and symbolically opened it to take a look. However, as he was reading, he suddenly stood up from his chair and said in disbelief:
"Chang Jun, so many?"
"I think that this is the amount you should give to marry a beauty like Madam Gu," Chang An said respectfully.
Gu Ke's smile became more and more open, but he still said, "Thank you so much, Dr. Chang."
"This is not made by my Ah Lang," Huaiqin's voice suddenly sounded, and Gu Ke's eyes were also attracted to it, "This is made by my son himself."
Gu Ke was stunned for a moment, then quickly raised his hand and saluted, saying, "I am really sorry to trouble you, Mr. Chang. I didn't expect that you would care so much about my daughter."
"He personally bought all these betrothal gifts... When I saw him outside the clinic that day, he must have been busy with these things..."
Gu Li, who was standing by, also understood what was said and felt slightly touched.
"The betrothal gifts have been delivered today, so the matter of accepting the marriage is settled." Chang An chatted with Gu Ke for a few more words, then bowed and prepared to leave, saying, "In this case, I will go back and ask someone to find an auspicious date, and then I will come to your house to ask for a date."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Chang." Gu Ke said, and then looked at Gu Li who was daydreaming beside him, "Then it's inconvenient to keep Mr. Chang any longer, Li'er, can you go and see him off?"
"Yes."
Gu Li stood up, stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Chang, please."
"It's time to take care of my wife."
Gu Li brought Chang An to the door, and the servants of the Gu family behind them also carried some selected return betrothal gifts and put them on Chang An's carriage.
"Madam Gu, don't be angry about what Huaiqin said just now, something like "I bought it" and so on. She is just like that, she doesn't hold back when she speaks." Chang An looked in the direction of the Gu family lobby and said.
"Huaiqin didn't say anything nonsense..." Huaiqin was about to argue when Chang'an covered her mouth.
Gu Li looked at the two of them like this, and then looked at Chang An's somewhat embarrassed smile, and couldn't help but burst out laughing. This Yanyan's smile made Chang An blush a little. He thought that his behavior was a bit embarrassing, so he quickly let go of his hand covering Huaiqin's mouth and stood there at a loss.
"It's unlikely that Mr. Chang made a special detour from the Imperial Academy to the West Market that day, so he should have been preparing the betrothal gifts, right?" Gu Li looked at the bewildered Chang An and suddenly felt that he was somewhat likable.
"It's... it's Madam Gu who is smart, unlike a maid like me..." Huaiqin stamped her feet a little aggrieved when she heard it, "Do you like the jewelry I gave you?"
"I am a woman, so I naturally like jewelry. But I don't know if the meanings that Mr. Chang said are true?"
"Of course it's true." Chang An saw that the servants had moved all the things, and he felt embarrassed to stay any longer, otherwise his embarrassing appearance would be seen by his future wife, so he said: "The things are moved, I... I will leave first."
After saying that, he got into the carriage as if escaping, which made Gu Li laugh again. But not long after Chang An got into the carriage, he leaned out half of his body and said:
"Madam Gu, there's just...can I ask you for a favor?"
"Just as Mr. Chang said."
"That's it... on the day of the wedding, after I finish reading the poem urging my wife to get ready, can you please come out quickly? Don't let those uncles and aunts embarrass me..." He felt a little embarrassed as he said this, "If you don't agree, then just pretend I didn't say anything."
After saying this, he hid back in the carriage and urged the servants to drive away.
"Tsunero..."
Before Gu Li called out to anyone, the carriage had already left. She watched the carriage leave, thinking of Chang An talking to everyone in the lobby, and then thinking of how he had just faced her, and couldn't help but smile again.
"Pure and flawless, love is stronger than gold..." After saying this, he thought about Chang An's embarrassing request, then turned to Zhen'er and said, "When Chang Langjun finishes reading the poem, take me to the sedan chair, and don't let the uncles and aunts embarrass him."
