My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 128: The Beauty with Black Hair Leaves Two Butterflies

"Master, Sanniang, it's time for lunch!" At this time, Huaiqin's voice came from outside the door.

"Here it comes!" Gu Li looked at the lip stain on Chang An's face and laughed again.

Chang An saw her smiling at him, and he was a little confused. Could it be that there was something on his face? Thinking of this, he reached out and touched his face twice - nothing.

Seeing Chang An so cute, Gu Li liked him very much. She moved out of Chang An's arms, poured some water, dipped her fingertips in the water, and wiped the lip balm off Chang An's face.

"Was there something on my face just now?" Chang An saw her wiping her face seriously, as if she was taking it very seriously.

"My lip balm marks." Gu Li pointed at his lips and said, "Does Chang Lang have to go out to eat with the marks? How embarrassing."

Chang An suddenly realized what was going on, and then he picked up the fan that Gu Li had made for him and put it on his waist. He also touched the new purse that Gu Li had sewn for him, and then he pulled her up with satisfaction and went to the pavilion outside to eat.

Before the meal started, Gu Li put a large piece of fish on Chang An's rice and murmured, "Chang Lang has worked hard in his studies. Eating more fish can help replenish your body."

"Okay," Chang An also picked up a large piece of ribs and put it in Gu Li's bowl, "Mother Gu, eat too."

Huaiqin and Zhener saw that the two hosts had already started using their chopsticks, then they looked at each other and began to eat.

Halfway through the meal, Chang An suddenly asked, "Today is the Shangsi Festival. I heard from Brother Mo Jie that we are going back to enjoy the spring and feast by the river. Mother Gu, do we want to go out of town and enjoy the spring as well?"

"Okay!" Gu Li agreed directly without asking where Chang An would take him.

"Then let's go to a small river outside the city." Chang An suggested, "The Wei River is not far from our Chang'an City, just two or three miles north of the city."

Gu Li nodded, then picked up another large piece of fish and put it into Chang An's bowl.

……

After dinner, Chang An was supervising Gu Li to drink medicine when he heard Huai Qin's voice coming from the courtyard gate again:

"Master, Third Lady, Mr. Wang and Ms. Cui are here."

Chang An and Gu Li both looked up at the courtyard entrance, and sure enough, Wang Wei and Cui Yu walked in hand in hand.

"Brother Mojie, why are you here so early today? Didn't we say we would meet at the city gate?" Chang An said with a smile after seeing Wang Wei.

Wang Wei smiled and said, "Originally we wanted to go directly to the city gate, but Ah Yu said that Madam Gu needed to take medicine, so it's the same whether we wait at the city gate or here."

"Ms. Cui is thoughtful." Chang An nodded slightly towards Cui Yu.

As soon as he saw Cui Yu coming, Gu Li drank the medicine in big gulps. Then he greeted her happily:

"Greetings to Mr. Wang and Ms. Cui."

Wang Wei and Cui Yu also returned the greetings.

"Madam Gu, do you want to dress up? There will be a lot of ladies here later." Chang An said, stretching out his finger to wipe the medicine juice from the corner of Gu Li's mouth.

"Yes!" Gu Li stood up and ran into the room, saying as he ran, "We can't let Chang Lang lose face!"

Hearing this, Chang An and the other two standing in the courtyard couldn't help but laugh. After a while, Gu Li came out. She simply put on some powder and rouge, and her lips were still the same green lip balm, with a small flower between her eyebrows. Her face, which had been spoiled since childhood, was already beautiful, and now a little powder and rouge made all the flowers shy.

"Ms. Gu is so beautiful." Cui Yu couldn't help but exclaimed when he saw Gu Li coming out.

Chang An simply smiled, while Wang Wei explained: "Madam Gu was born with a beautiful appearance. She is stunning even without makeup. Now that she is dressed up, she is even more beautiful."

Cui Yu nodded and said, "It's all my fault that I didn't take a good look at it last time. Now that I've seen it, I feel very happy both physically and mentally."

Gu Li stepped forward and asked, "How are we going today? Are we going by carriage?"

Chang An said, "We are going to go for an outing by taking a carriage. It would be unnecessary to go by horseback."

"Are Mr. Wang and Ms. Cui also going by carriage?" Gu Li looked at Wang Wei and Cui Yu and asked.

"That's right. After all, we rented one before. Wouldn't it be a waste of money if we don't take it?" Wang Wei replied, "Lady Gu and Brother Yonghe can take our carriage later. We can chat and relieve boredom on the way."

At this time, Chang An took out the folding fan from his waist, opened it with a "swish", and then took Gu Li's small hand - it was soft and fragrant just by touching it.

The four of them arrived at the gate of Chang's mansion and got on Wang Wei's carriage. Just as the carriage was about to start, the four people sitting in the carriage also heard a voice coming from outside the carriage:

"Brother Yonghe, Brother Wang!"

Chang An and Wang Wei each lifted the curtain, and the four of them looked outside the carriage - they saw Gao Shi riding a horse and walking towards them.

"Brother Gao." Chang An and Wang Wei were both a little surprised by Gao Shi's arrival.

"We are planning to go for an outing along the Wei River. Brother Gao, do you want to join us?" Chang An asked.

Gao Shi smiled and said, "I came here today for this very purpose. I wonder if I can go with Brother Yonghe and Brother Wang? I can ride a horse."

"Of course." Wang Wei nodded.

But Gu Li asked again: "Isn't Mr. Gao at my sister's place? Did he have a day off today?"

Gao Shi shook his head and said, "Thanks to Brother Chang's "Impromptu Composition for the New Luan Guests" at that time, I have been relatively free these days, and Madam Su Meng granted me today's leave."

Seeing that no one spoke, Wang Wei said, "In that case, let's go. If we go later, there will be too many people."

So, the five of them, one carriage and one horse, headed directly out of Chang'an City. Two or three miles was not too far, and it took only about an incense stick of time. At the same time, under Wang Wei's guidance, they came to a small river.

Chang An, Wang Wei and others got off the carriage, while Gao Shi got off the horse. Curious baby Gu Li opened his eyes wide and looked at the surrounding scene. Although they were in a small forest now, Chang An had excellent hearing and could vaguely hear the sound of flowing water.

At this time, Wang Wei pointed in a certain direction and said to Cui Yu, "That's where the ladies are washing themselves. You go first. We are in the opposite direction. Come find us when you are done."

Cui Yu nodded, took a package from the carriage, and walked in the direction Wang Wei pointed.

After arranging Cui Yu, Wang Wei took Gao Shi, Chang An and Gu Li and walked in the opposite direction of Cui Yu. Just after crossing a forest, they could see a river, and many people gathered by the river.

Chang An looked at the bank of the river and finally understood why so many people came here for an outing - the river bank was lined with flowers, and the small woods behind him was also a forest of flowers.

In addition to the young couples walking hand in hand by the river, there are also many single men and women who want to come here to "find a partner". Some of them even pick a flower from a tree or bush after they have fallen in love with each other, come up to the other person to chat, and ask about their name, family, etc.

Chang An squeezed Gu Li's hand at this moment and called out lovingly, "Mother Gu?"

"Hey."

Originally, Gu Li was looking at the scenery around her, but when Chang An called her, she turned around and looked at Chang An.

"Mrs. Gu, do you want to take a walk along the river bank?" Chang An asked with a smile.

Gu Li nodded and said, "I do."

So Chang An said to Wang Wei and Gao Shi: "Brother Mo Jie, Brother Gao, I will take my wife for a walk and will be back later."

Wang Wei and Gao Shi nodded, and Chang An led Gu Li down the river bank along the flowers. Just like in the plum forest of Zhongnan Mountain before, Chang An let Gu Li walk in front, and he followed behind her in a safe range.

Gu Li was jumping in front, and the jade butterfly hairpin on her head looked like a real butterfly dancing in the sun, which attracted the attention of some ladies. Some men wanted to approach Gu Li to chat with her after seeing her. But after taking two steps closer, they saw Chang An smiling and following behind her, and naturally understood what was going on, and did not move forward.

Chang An followed behind Gu Li, and looking at her jumping around, he shouted, "Mother Gu!"

"Hey!"

When Gu Li heard Chang An's call, he stopped, turned around with his hands behind his back, and smiled like a flower.

"Walk slowly, don't be in a hurry." Chang An shouted with a smile and slowly walked in front of her.

Gu Li looked at Chang An coming forward, and simply smiled and took Chang An's hand, saying: "Then Chang Lang, hold my hand."

"Okay." Chang An opened the fan with a tremble of his hand, and then gently waved it beside Gu Li. "You must be tired from running. How about I fan you, Gu Niang?"

"Okay." Gu Li gave Chang An a sweet smile and slowed down his pace.

After walking for a while, Gu Li pointed to the side and said, "Chang Lang, look!"

Chang An looked in the direction that Gu Li pointed - some not very tall flowers stood opposite him. Although it was only early March, the branches were already full of pink flowers. From a distance, the flowers looked like peach blossoms.

"The mountain peach blossoms are in bloom!" Gu Li smiled and said as he led Chang An towards the mountain peach trees.

Chang An smiled and looked at Gu Li and asked, "Does Gu like mountain peach blossoms?"

"No, I just think the mountain peach blossoms are beautiful." Gu Li approached the mountain peach tree, closed his eyes and smelled the fragrance of the flowers, "I like plum blossoms."

“Why do you like plum blossoms?”

Gu Li opened his eyes, looked at Chang An beside him, and said with a smile: "Because when Chang Lang took me out to play for the first time, we went into the plum blossom forest."

"Is that so?" Chang An lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the clothes on Gu Li, which were decorated with plum petals.

"of course."

"Hey! Husband, look—there are two butterflies landing on that woman's head!"

At this time, a woman's exclamation reached the ears of Chang An and Gu Li. At this time, Chang An looked at the ends of Gu Li's hair, and in addition to the jade butterfly hairpin he gave her, there was also a real butterfly resting on it.

"Hey, Chang Lang, look!"

Gu Li also felt the strange feeling coming from the ends of his hair. He was surprised but a little afraid that the butterfly would fly away, so he whispered:

"Chang Lang, there are butterflies landing on me too."
