My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li

Chapter 117 That Day, the Spring Breeze Brings Chang'an

Chang An held the scroll in one hand, tightened the reins with the other, leaned down, and galloped wildly on Zhuque Street. It was already noon, and there were more pedestrians on the road. Chang An could not care less and could only gallop wildly on the street while shouting loudly:

"Let me get out of the way! Let me get out of the way!"

Pedestrians on the road often dodge as soon as they hear the sound, and the moment they dodge they feel a gust of wind whistling past them.

At this time, Chang An looked up and could see the city gate, but he didn't know whether Wang Wei had left the city. In a hurry, Chang An shouted loudly: "Brother Mo Jie! Brother Mo Jie!"

Wang Wei, who was about to ride out of the city gate, suddenly heard Chang'an's shout and turned back to see Chang'an running towards him. He stopped his horse and looked at Chang'an.

Chang An reined in his horse. The officers and soldiers were already on alert. If he came any closer, he would probably be arrested for "disturbing public order." He could only throw the scroll in his hand and shout:

"Brother Mojie! Got it!"

Wang Wei looked at the poem scroll flying in the air and reached out to catch it.

"Brother Mojie! Open it and take a look!" Chang An shouted again.

Wang Wei was somewhat puzzled, but he still followed Chang An's instructions and opened the scroll in his hand - inside was a poem urging her to get ready:

"Written on behalf of my friend Mo Jie to urge the makeup: The golden carriage has arrived in front of the crape myrtle, the phoenixes hold candles but are still timid about the makeup. The rich are happy to embrace the silk and silk, and they don’t need to wear white and red makeup. The south wind is in my mind, and I dream of the west island. I remember the past, and the head is like a promise. The people in the Guanghan Tower are as beautiful as jade, but I am afraid that the moon will pass and the sky dog ​​will be gone."

After reading the poem, Wang Wei raised his head and laughed out loud.

"How about this song to urge you to get dressed, Brother Mojie!" Chang An asked in a shout.

Wang Wei smiled and responded: "Good poem! Good poem, Brother Yonghe!"

"This is the poem I promised you, Brother Mojie, to urge you to get ready in the Guanyin Temple that day. Do you like it?" Chang An asked again.

"Thank you, Brother Yonghe, I like it very much!"

The two men laughed at the same time. Chang An pointed at the city gate and shouted, "Brother Mo Jie! The city gate is just ahead. Let's go out laughing. How can we be ordinary people?"

"Brother Yonghe, I'm leaving!" Brother Mojie put away the scroll of poems and bowed to Chang'an from a distance.

"Brother Mo Jie! Have a safe trip!" Chang An also raised his hand and saluted Wang Wei from a distance.

Wang Wei turned around and rode away, reciting the poem in his heart: "Before leaving Xijing, I looked at the towers and pavilions. A white horse galloped like the wind to take me back. That day, the spring breeze blew up Chang'an, and I was no longer a weed!"

This is Wang Wei's poem, but it is not a poem in history books. Chang An smiled and shouted, "Brother Mo Jie, when you come back, remember to make up for my wedding!"

Wang Wei did not look back, but raised his hand and shook it with his back to Chang An.

Chang An rode on the white horse and watched Wang Wei leave quietly. He watched Wang Wei ride out of Chang'an City, and then the figures of the man and the horse began to slowly shrink until they shrank into a dot and finally disappeared completely from sight.

It was only at this time that Chang An turned his horse around and rode towards home.

When he returned to the door of his house, Gu Li was still standing at the door waiting for him to come back. When she saw Chang An coming back, she waved to him happily and called out sweetly:

"Chang Lang!"

Chang An got off the horse, walked up to her, held her little hand, and kissed her on the lips. He asked lovingly, "Why are you still waiting for me here, Mother Gu?"

"If Chang Lang doesn't come back, I will wait here. I will wait for Chang Lang to come home." Gu Li replied.

Chang An smiled, hugged Gu Li in his arms, and walked towards the mansion while saying, "Mother Gu has been waiting for so long, her feet must be tired."

"Chang Lang is studying and chasing after Wang Langjun, but he is even more tired than me." Gu Li said, and patted Chang An, "Chang Lang, put me down, I can still walk."

Chang An smiled and asked, "Didn't Gu Niang say that she would listen to Chang Lang?"

"Yeah, what's wrong with that?" Gu Li asked after Chang An distracted his attention.

"Then I order Mother Gu to let me hold her obediently." Chang An said "viciously".

For some reason, Gu Li suddenly remembered that he was frightened by Chang An on the Lantern Festival, and hurriedly hugged him tightly.

"I'm obedient, I'm obedient..." Gu Li pouted, "Chang Lang can hold me if he wants, I'm obedient."

Chang An shook Gu Li in his arms again and asked, "Is the meal ready? I'm hungry."

"Of course it's ready, just waiting for Chang Lang to come back and eat it."

......

After dinner, the young couple sat on the bed, one sitting inside the bed, the other sitting on the edge. Chang An sat outside and held Gu Li's two little feet.

"What is Chang Lang doing?" Gu Li asked with some confusion when he saw Chang An pulling his feet over.

"Mrs. Gu waited for me at the door for so long today, her feet must be sore." Chang An said as he gently lifted up Gu Li's trouser legs, then tested the temperature of his palms and started kneading them.

"I'll give Gu Niang a massage, and she'll feel better."

"Okay." Gu Li nodded, and then asked, "Where is Wang Langjun's hometown?"

"Puzhou."

"Where is Puzhou? Is it far?"

"Not far," Chang An shook his head, "Puzhou is about 200 to 300 miles away from Chang An. If things go well, Brother Mo Jie will be able to return home tomorrow."

"Why did you suddenly ask this question, Madam Gu?"

"Because Mr. Wang is going home to get married, I asked someone to find a fortune teller to ask for an auspicious day for the wedding, which is the 25th. If Mr. Wang can't go back earlier, it will take a long time." Gu Li said, shaking her little feet mischievously.

"That's true," Chang An raised his head slightly and said thoughtfully, "Brother Mo Jie's engagement partner seems to be surnamed Cui. If I bring her back to Chang'an City, she might be able to keep Gu Niang company."

"That's great. Chang Lang and Wang Langjun are good friends and confidants. I am Chang Lang's wife, and Wang Langjun's wife and I are friends. The relationship between our two families will become better and better." Gu Li said happily.

After kneading both feet, Gu Li was about to pull his feet back, but Chang An pulled them back again.

"Chang Lang is going to do...Ah!" Gu Li hadn't said half of her words when she saw Chang An leaning down and kissing the back of her feet, which startled her and she screamed.

"What is Chang Lang doing? It's dirty."

Gu Li was so embarrassed that she pulled her feet back and pulled the quilt over her feet. But Chang An directly lifted the quilt and pulled her two pairs of white jade feet over.

"Where are they dirty? Gu Niang's feet are like white jade, and she just took a bath." Chang An held Gu Li's feet like a treasure, "I don't mean to dislike Gu Niang, or to say..."

"Mrs. Gu dislikes Chang Lang?"

Gu Li shook his head and said anxiously: "I don't dislike Chang Lang."

Chang An put down Gu Li's feet, came up to her, and asked, "You really don't mind?"

"No, I like Chang Lang the most, how could I dislike him..." Gu Li looked at his reflection in Chang An's eyes and answered a little nervously.

"You really don't mind it anymore?" Chang An asked again.

"Really, if Chang Lang still wants to kiss me, then... then kiss me." As Gu Li spoke, he began to feel shy again.

"But what should I do if I don't want to kiss Gu Niang's feet now?" Chang An asked with a smile.

"Ah... then... then wherever Chang Lang wants to kiss me, I... I will allow it..." Gu Li felt dizzy at this moment, and even his speech became incoherent.

"I want to kiss Mother Gu..." Chang An leaned close to Gu Li's ear and said the last two words.

After hearing this, Gu Li replied in a voice like a mosquito: "Okay...but the door doesn't seem to be bolted yet."

"Who said there wasn't any? I locked it when I just came in." Chang Lang smiled evilly and fell on the bed with Gu Li.

"Chang Lang is so bad..."

"It's going to get worse..."

"OK then......"

......

At noon the next day, Wang Wei rode back to Puzhou. When he arrived at his home, he dismounted, patted his clothes, took a deep breath, and knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from inside.

Wang Wei's eyes reddened when he heard the familiar voice, but he sniffed and shouted inside: "Mother, it's me! Mo Jie!"

The door was opened directly, and the woman inside couldn't help but get excited when she saw Wang Wei: "My son is back!"

When Wang Wei saw his mother, Cui, he knelt down with a plop, kowtowed on the steps, and said, "Mother! I have passed the imperial examination and am back."

Cui quickly helped Wang Wei up and said with relief, "It's good that you're back. It doesn't matter whether you succeed or not."

"Mother, I was able to pass the imperial examination this year because I met a noble person." Wang Wei said as he was pulled into the house by Cui.

"Your Excellency?" Cui asked hurriedly, "Who is that high-ranking official?"

Wang Wei shook his head and replied with a smile: "It's not a high-ranking official, but a friend of mine, a new friend."

"What's his name, and where is he from?"

"His name is Chang'an, with the courtesy name Yonghe, and he is from Chang'an City." Wang Wei replied, "If it weren't for Brother Yonghe's introduction, I would have wasted a lot of time."

"Brother is back!"

"Brother!"

The conversation between Wang Wei and Cui was heard in the back room. Wang Wei's two youngest sisters, Wang Zhi and Wang Qing, ran out. When they saw Wang Wei, they rushed forward with great joy.

"Who is this Mr. Chang?" Cui asked, looking at her two little daughters lovingly.

"He is the most talented scholar in Chang'an City, known as one of the two best in Chang'an, and a student of the prime minister of the dynasty." Wang Wei replied: "And he introduced me to the prime minister."

“This is a great benefactor.”

Cui was a little surprised, because she had never heard of a student introducing others to a teacher.
