My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 187: Chang Wang's 2 Families

"Then when it comes to sewing the hem, we have to do this..."

Cui Yu then picked up the needle and thread, took out the stitches, and began to demonstrate to Gu Li. Before long, two more stitches appeared on the clothes in Cui Yu's hand. She pulled them in front of Gu Li and found that they were very firm.

"What beautiful stitches!" Gu Li couldn't help but exclaim.

Cui Yu smiled and said, "No, it's not a big deal. When Madam Gu learns how to do it, she will definitely weave better than me."

"That will probably take a long time."

Cui Yu looked at Gu Li and suddenly asked, "Madam Gu, your life is so short, how did you know you were pregnant?"

Gu Li was a little puzzled, wondering why Cui Yu would ask this question. After thinking for a while, she replied: "It's just some minor symptoms..."

"Minor illness?" Cui Yu was a little confused, but her interest was aroused, so she put down the needle and thread in her hand and listened attentively.

"Yeah," Gu Li nodded, "I just have a stuffy nose, can't eat, and feel a little tired. I always want to sleep for a while. At first, Chang Lang and I thought I had caught a cold, so we went to see a doctor."

"But when I went to the doctor, he said it wasn't a cold, and he couldn't even feel my pulse. Then when I went to the West Market, a doctor told me that I was pregnant."

Cui Yu was still a little confused and asked, "That's strange, what if it's not true?"

"I didn't really believe it at first, but Chang Lang asked me...about menstruation." When Gu Li said this, he felt inexplicably embarrassed. After all, this was something that was not easy to say out loud.

"Yue..." Cui Yu was a little stunned, and immediately blushed for Gu Li, and asked: "Why do you ask this?"

"It was Chang Lang who asked me if I hadn't had my period for some time..." Gu Li's voice became smaller for some reason, and then he said, "Chang Lang said that if you haven't had your period for a long time, you should be pregnant."

"This... is there such a saying?"

Cui Yu felt a little bit unbelievable, after all, this was a modern judgment method. But then he thought about it and recalled his own situation a month ago, and felt that this statement was not unreasonable.

"I don't know either. This is what Chang Lang said. I don't think it should be false." Gu Li believed what Chang An said 100%.

Cui Yu nodded and said, "In that case, Madam Gu, please take good care of yourself."

"I know." Gu Li smiled at Cui Yu, and then said, "Madam Cui, please continue weaving clothes. I will continue to learn."

But Cui Yu frowned, raised his hand to cover his mouth, as if he was feeling uncomfortable, and then ran away. Gu Li was a little nervous and hurried to follow him. Cui Yu leaned against the wall and retched into a clay jar on the ground.

"Is Madam Cui okay?" Gu Li hurried over to pat her back to help her calm down.

Cui Yu vomited for a while, and when he felt better, he wiped his mouth, stood up, shook his head, and said, "I'm fine, Madam Gu, don't worry."

Don't worry? Gu Li looked at Cui Yu's pale face and asked with concern: "But Madam Cui, you don't look well now?"

"Madam Gu, it's still early for you. After a while, you will be the same as me." Cui Yu smiled and said, then took her back to the table.

"Madam Gu, don't you want to learn how to weave clothes? Let's continue."

......

Chang An sat in the carriage and Wang Wei rode a horse.

"Brother Mojie, how are you doing in Taichang Temple recently? Is your work going well?" Chang An asked at this time.

"It's okay. On weekdays I just organize the actors to perform. Sometimes I have nothing to do all day, so everything goes smoothly." Wang Wei smiled. It seems that he is very satisfied with his current job.

"By the way, may I ask, is Madam Cui feeling well today?" Chang An asked.

Wang Wei said: "It's not bad, but I sometimes have dry heaves."

Chang An nodded and asked, "Brother Mo Jie, are you planning to buy some servants for your family?"

"Buy a servant? Why?" Wang Wei was a little puzzled. His house was not big to begin with, and the two of them were enough to manage it. There was no need to hire a servant.

"But Brother Mojie, you also have to go on duty on weekdays. As time goes by, you probably won't be able to take care of everything by yourself." Chang An said.

"What's more, when Madam Cui gives birth in the future, she will need someone to find a midwife, so this will be a great help."

"If Brother Mojie is worried, he can just find two or three older ones who are more skilled and can come back."

After hearing this, Wang Wei held his chin and thought for a while. He felt that there was some truth in it, so he nodded and said, "Brother Yonghe is right."

Then Chang An thought about some things. Wang Wei was a Buddhist and usually ate vegetarian food. He was afraid that since Cui was pregnant, she would also follow him in eating vegetarian food. Such food was not like what his own daughter ate on weekdays, with meat and soup every meal. The nutritional supply was completely insufficient.

So he asked, "Brother Mojie, what does Madam Cui eat on a daily basis?"

Wang Wei felt that Chang An's question was a bit strange, and replied: "What I ate before is almost the same now, but there are more foods for my wife to nourish her body."

"Is there any meat?"

Meat is the most important source of nutrition, especially in the Tang Dynasty, where people mostly eat mutton, which is the best way to replenish the body. But Wang Wei was afraid that after a month, there would be no meat on the table at home, and Cui Yu would not be able to get enough nutrition.

"Brother Yonghe, have you forgotten that I am a believer in Buddhism and I don't eat much meat?" Wang Wei smiled and reminded.

Chang An sighed, and an expression of "I knew it" appeared directly in Wang Wei's eyes, which made him feel a little strange, so he asked: "What's wrong, Brother Yonghe? Is there anything wrong?"

Is there something wrong? This is so wrong...

"Brother Mo Jie, this is a bit presumptuous..." Chang An said awkwardly, "How about adding some meat to the dishes next time we eat?"

Wang Wei was puzzled at this time and asked, "Why is this?"

"Brother Mojie, please don't think I'm being presumptuous. Madam Cui is pregnant now, and there's another person with her. If you don't take advantage of her like you normally would, it would be inappropriate."

"Mrs. Cui's body won't get enough nutrition if she only eats vegetarian food, not to mention that she has a child. The meat added to every meal is not for you or Mrs. Cui, but for the child. We should at least consider the child."

When Chang An said this, his expression was serious.

"Brother Mojie, your child is not yet born. Giving the child some meat to eat is to save his life. The Buddha will definitely not blame you."

Wang Wei smiled at this time, which made Chang An a little nervous. Then he said, "Brother Yonghe, you don't need to be so nervous and presumptuous."

Upon hearing this, Chang An raised his eyebrows.

"Brother Yonghe has said so much, isn't it just to make me think more about my wife?" Wang Wei said with a smile, "I am not one of those stubborn people. I will naturally consider the suggestions that Brother Yonghe gave me."

"That's good." Chang An nodded with a smile.

"It's just right. Now that Brother Jing Yonghe said that, I also want to eat some meat." Wang Wei said with a smile.

Chang An knew that the other party was giving him a way out, so he responded, "Then eat more. The wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart."

After saying this, the two looked at each other and laughed out loud. Wang Wei even pointed at Chang An and said, "What a good saying: wine and meat pass through the intestines, but the Buddha remains in the heart."

As they chatted, they came to the gate of the Imperial College, and then Chang An said, "Brother Mo Jie, I'm here, and you should go to the Taichang Temple too."

"Okay," Wang Wei raised his hand, bowed, and said, "Then I will come to find Brother Yonghe at noon today, and go to my home together, and pick up Madam Gu by the way."

Chang An got out of the carriage, bowed to Wang Wei, and said, "Then I will wait for Brother Mo Jie at the door."

"Farewell."

After Wang Wei said the last sentence, he turned his horse around and left.

Chang An and Huai Qin came to the classroom and sat down. As soon as they sat down, the four people of Du, Cui, Zhang and Zhao came up to them, as if they were going to do something bad to them again.

"Brother Yonghe."

"Brother Du..." Chang An returned the greetings one by one and asked, "Brothers, what's the matter today?"

Du Chengming said slyly at this time: "It's not a big deal. There's just a new Hu Ji who has come to Xinluan Restaurant and will be performing on stage for the first time tonight."

"Brother Yonghe, do you want to join in the fun?"

Chang An refused without even thinking about it, saying, "I'm sorry, brothers. I won't go."

Du Chengming and his friends did not expect Chang An to refuse, and refused so decisively. The four of them looked at each other, and Cui Hujin asked with some doubt:

"Why? Is it because Madam Gu disagrees?"

"No, it's me who doesn't agree to go by myself." Chang An replied.

If you don't agree to go, then to put it bluntly, you don't want to go. Du Chengming also asked: "Why don't you want to go?"

"There are some special circumstances at home. I probably won't drink for a long time in the future." Chang An said.

The special case is of course Gu Li. Now that Chang An has just become a father, he is afraid that he has drunk too much and Gu Li will smell the alcohol on his body. It may be okay to smell it once or twice, but if it happens too many times, there may be problems.

"Special case?"

"Something happened to Madam Gu?"

Chang An shook his head, stretched out his hand for them to bend down, and then whispered to them about Gu Li. After hearing this, Du, Cui, Zhang, and Zhao finally understood, and then stood up calmly.

"In this case, we won't force Brother Yonghe." Du Chengming said pretentiously at this time.

"Sorry."

The topic ended like this, and Zhou Xuezhen walked into the classroom.
