The car rattled, and a carriage drove into Xuande Fang.

"Oh, one hundred and fifty zhang further away, it will be your ancestral home."

The empress lifted the curtain and pointed to the end of the street, where the houses were quiet because the sky was bright.

She wore a red gauze skirt, like a waterfall and green silk only held by a jasper hairpin, revealing a delicate pink neck, looking elegant and pure.

"Hmm." Gu Changan nodded, and suddenly said:

"Chang'an peony blooms, the first class among flowers, and finally you can feast your eyes."

The corners of Li Wan's lips raised slightly, and he said gently:

"The spring breeze of willows and the flying swallows of peonies are the most beautiful time of the year."

Remembering the appearance of his wandering around when he first entered the city, and the silence of the soul shadow in the sword box that winter, does the silence of that time and the joy of the present mean a new life?

The carriage stopped in a bluestone alley, which was narrow and cold all year round, and the walls were covered with moss.

"Since I don't want to be disturbed, I don't live in your house, how about here? My private property. ”

The empress pointed to a two-entry house covered with fish scales, with a large bush of plantains in the corner.

In fact, she was very contradictory, as the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, she should have told the Central Plains that Gu Changan had gone home.

But she likes to be obscure, as if only in this way he is not a national hero and belongs to her alone.

"Then I'll eat soft rice."

Gu Changan jumped out of the carriage with the sword box in his arms, and looked at the small house in front of him, the brick joints between the courtyard wall and the ground were clear and straight, staggered, and there was a pleasing beauty to the eye.

"You know that I raise you, but you still don't support me?" The empress snorted.

Gu Changan turned his head to look at her, and the woman's eyes did not blink.

"Please." He walked back and stretched out his right arm.

Li Wan put his five fingers on his cold wrist and stepped out of the carriage with a reserved face.

"I live in the East House, you live in the West House." She couldn't help but say that when she stepped into the courtyard, she already had the demeanor of a hostess.

There was a dog barking from the yard next door, followed by a deep alley that barked like firecrackers.

The woman who got up early whispered, how to live in the idle house next door, she should be interrogated, don't be a thief who steals chickens and dogs.

They placed a bench in the corner of the wall and stood on it to look in.

"I didn't bring any belongings."

"Two sword boxes, hey young is a hero of the rivers and lakes."

"The posture of walking is very noble, and it must be friendly to neighbors."

Living at the foot of the imperial city is still a little discerning, the women let down their guard, and after a while, they went home and walked into the house with a few eggs and a bundle of spring bamboo shoots and cabbage.

The woman with a big waist and a round waist was full of enthusiasm, and looked at the two of them at close range while raising her voice, "You are new to move in, and if you have something to say hello in the future, you're welcome." ”

Gu Changan also changed his face, even his white hair was dyed black by Li Wan, and he looked like a very mediocre young man at this time.

"My surname is Gu." Confused, he took the eggs and vegetables that the woman had stuffed.

"Who is this?" The fat woman looked at Li Wan.

Li Wan smiled lightly and deliberately did not speak.

Gu Changan hesitated for a moment and introduced:

"My wife."

Li Wan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Talented and beautiful, made in heaven, born early with a noble son......" The women praised a few words, and then left under the pretext.

Li Wan glanced at it obliquely, his bright and restrained eyes couldn't be hidden, and he said, "Who is your wife?" ”

The man smiled without saying a word, sitting on the small bench in the courtyard, Li took away a layer of skin on his face, and the breeze blew through the delicate and beautiful face, blowing a few strands of hair.

Gu Changan looked at the noble and elegant empress and quipped:

"Ten fingers don't touch the spring water, you have been pampered for a long time, can you cook?"

Finally, I added:

"I won't anyway."

Li Wan stood stunned, reviewing the habit of government affairs, she subconsciously bit her fingertips lightly with her teeth, and stared at Gu Changan like this.

The two looked at each other without saying a word.

"I'm used to you once." The empress was defeated, took away the basket of eggs and bamboo shoots, and walked to the kitchen with broken steps.

Gu Changan smiled and listened to the roosters and dogs barking next door, this was the life he had dreamed of when he was a child.

After a while, there was a thud from the kitchen knife chopping board.

Gu Changan frowned and said, "Eggs, spring bamboo shoots, which one can use a kitchen knife?" ”

"Cut bamboo shoots." The crisp voice revealed a hint of irritability.

"Lined up together, just a few horizontal and vertical knives."

"Don't make a noise, why don't you come?"

Gu Changan immediately shut up.

After tossing for an hour and a half, Li Wan put two dishes in front of him, "Use it slowly!" ”

Gu Changan looked at the burnt eggs and the bamboo shoots, and then looked up at the angry empress.

"Where's the rice?"

"Where is the rice?" Li Wan said angrily, and handed him a pair of fast children.

Gu Changan caught a quick egg, but he didn't move for a long time, and Hanhu didn't say clearly:

"I'd rather drink the sand."

"What did you say?" Li Wan's eyes narrowed.

"I said it smelled good." Gu Changan put it in his mouth and swallowed it, and if he didn't chew it, there would be no taste.

Li Wan nodded with satisfaction, also sat on the bench, took a piece of bamboo shoots and tasted it, and quickly changed the topic:

"Let's eat and drink all the way, there is only one gold ingot left in my sachet, Chang'an is expensive, we can't sit and eat empty."

"So?" Gu Changan asked.

"You're going to support your family." Li Wan said of course.

"What can I do?" Gu Changan was puzzled, and suddenly remembered that Qin Carpenter had taught him a few times in his spare time when he was guarding the city, and he was convinced:

"Wood Carving!"

Li Bang's eyes turned smartly, and he soon had an idea to make money:

"It's not as good as jade withering, let's rent a shop, specializing in women's business, jewelry and the like, Chang'an women's money is the best to make."

Just do it, she pulled up the man and was about to go out.

"Face!" Gu Changan reminded.

"Oh," Li Wan turned to go back to the room to get the human skin mask.

"Remember to bring money."

"Don't be verbose." Li Wan stopped, returned to tiptoe, and kissed him on the cheek very gently.

The movement is as quiet as water, and the soft "wave" sound seems to be pressed with endless power.

The two picked up for a while, then held hands and walked out of the house, the Tang folk customs have always been open, and the phenomenon of husband and wife holding hands and hugging on the street is not uncommon, but there is no need to worry about causing criticism.

"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu, go out."

The news of the empty house moving into a new neighbor spread all over the alley early in the morning, and the neighbors smiled and greeted each other.

Gu Changan responded one by one, the people in the alley walked lightly, the sunlight shone obliquely through the high wall, the tea was full, and a few people sat around the alley talking and laughing.

An old yellow dog ran out from behind, looking at the two of them, barking wildly.

"Why don't we raise a housekeeper too?" Li Wan whispered in his ear.

Gu Changan thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid of trouble, so forget it." ”

Li Wan didn't care, and the two strolled to the nearby street, and she snapped her fingers and said:

"Rent a shop, contact a jade merchant, buy a cage of hens, five bags of rice, two skewers of bacon from the end of the year, ......"

"And pastries, give back to the neighbors." Gu Changan added.

"Yes!" Li Wan almost forgot about this stubble.

"Is there enough money?"

"It should be about the same, Huajue Lane is relatively remote, and if it is not in a busy area, it is very cheap to rent a shop."

"How do you say the truth?" Gu Changan was amazed.

As if he wanted to show off himself in front of him, Li Wan pulled Gu Changan to the grain store, and asked the shopkeeper casually:

"Uncle, what's going on today?"

The shopkeeper glanced at the couple and gave a thumbs up: "Good emperor! ”

Gu Changan smiled, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, which people dare to say bad things?

"Where's the good?" Li Wan did not relent.

"Li Tang is the best benevolent monarch, attaches importance to the people with virtue, and gives a lot of favors to the people, even if the Central Plains is destroyed by barbarians tomorrow, everyone knows that it is not the fault of today."

The shopkeeper said sincerely, without any falsehood.

Some things are hard to say, but in the hearts of the people of Chang'an, His Majesty is not like an emperor at all, has no grand plans, does not think about how to recover the old land of the Six Kingdoms, and only focuses on the people's livelihood policy.

"Clear." Gu Changan smiled and bowed his head, and saw Li Wan's reserved face, with an imperceptible arrogance in his eyes.

"Leave us five bags of rice." He explained to the shopkeeper and continued to shop with the empress.

At dusk, the two of them were in a spacious and bright shop, with three jade stones on the table.

After walking for a day, the empress rested her feet on Gu Changan's thighs very tiredly, and the latter concentrated on polishing a palm-sized piece of jade.

"There is no copper plate at home now, if you can't carve it, let's drink the northwest wind."

"Don't bother me." The fragrance lingered between her noses, and Gu Changan simply pushed away her messy feet.

The fingers are sword qi, and they are flattened on the edge of the jadeite, and in only half an hour, a pair of earrings are made.

"Handmade." He handed the earrings to Li Wan.

Li Wan stroked carefully, his eyes were full of brilliance, the workmanship was far from exquisite, and it was the roughest in the jewelry shop, but he could calm down and recuperate and get rid of impetuousness.

"That's all I can do." Gu Changan said.

Li Wan was a little reluctant to sell it for a while, after all, it was the first pair of jewelry, she raised her head and looked directly at Gu Chang'an, her amorous eyelashes fanned gently.

"For you." Gu Changan looked serious.

Li Wanzhan smiled, pursed his lips, and hugged him and didn't let go.

……

The days settled down, and it was midsummer in the blink of an eye, and the business of the store was tepid, after all, the style was not eye-catching, and the woman with high vision was too lazy to touch.

In the heavy rain in the evening, Gu Changan walked into the store with an umbrella and a smile on his face.

"Well, a fresh river carp, we'll cook the soup later." Li Lian was holding a three-pound carp in his hand, and seeing his smile undiminished, he couldn't help asking, "What's so funny?" ”

"A chess player in the teahouse." Gu Changan quipped.

"What's wrong? Tell me about it. Li Wan closed the door of the store and hid in an oil-paper umbrella, she was plump and tall, and an umbrella could not cover the two of them.

Gu Changan moved inward a little and explained with a smile:

"Du Mu, I have repeatedly lost and fought in chess, and I have lost a total of thirty taels of silver, but I didn't pay the debt, so I lost a teapot to fill the number."

"Is Du Mu, a Chinese scholar who is known as Little Du Fu? What's so funny. Li Wan glanced at him.

Gu Changan shook his head and was silent.

The great poets of history play tricks, no matter how you think about it, it's funny.

"Go home."

Walking all the way to Huajue Lane, Gu Changan's shoulder sleeves were wet with raindrops.

"It's raining, or you can carry me away." Li Wan looked up at him.

"Why didn't you carry me?" Gu Changan asked rhetorically.

"Huh?" Li Wan's eyes did not blink.

"Come up." Gu Changan had no choice but to bend down, her cooking skills changed with her emotions, although she had been practicing recipes recently, but occasionally when she was resentful, the dishes were difficult to eat.

Li Wan's red lips were mischievously cocked, and the whole person jumped on Gu Changan's back like an octopus, holding an umbrella in one hand and a carp in the other.

Two soft round pots like water fell heavily on their backs, Gu Changan grabbed his round and plump thighs, and said as he walked:

"You're fat."

"Really?" Li Wan didn't care, she was extremely confident in her appearance and figure.

The rain clattered on the oil-paper umbrella, gathered into a line of water, and slid down the edge of the umbrella.

"By the way, there's a regular customer who wants to buy a melter." The empress's expression was slightly unnatural.

"What?" Gu Changan was puzzled.

The empress put her mouth to his ear, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:

"Horn...... Mr. Horn. ”

"What's that?" Gu Changan turned his head to look at her, and his beautiful jade cheeks were close at a moment's notice, but a trace of shame gradually emerged.

"You continue to pretend to be a lake!" Li Wan gently bit his earlobe, "I didn't know before, but now I go to the market teahouse all day long, and I can hear the cocoon coming." ”

"Resolutely not to do it." Gu Changan refused.

"I also politely rejected her at first, but she is a regular customer, and if this makes us feel bad because of this, we will lose more than we gain."

"Besides, she opened her mouth to eighty taels, how much do we earn after removing the rent a month."

Li Wanwan persuaded him.

"How old?" Gu Changan compromised.

"What?" This time, the empress was confused, and after thinking for a long time, she kicked him with her foot, and scolded:

"How do I know?"

The alley was waterlogged, and the loose stone slab was hiding mud, and Gu Changan accidentally stepped on the crooked stone slab, and with a "beep" sound, a stream of mud splashed, staining the hem of the robe.

"No wonder you want me to carry you." Gu Changan didn't say it angrily, and stepped on it twice in succession, and his robe was dirty.

Li Bang laughed loudly, buried his head in his back and laughed loudly, and the neighbors who were resting under the eaves suddenly showed envious eyes.

The couple has a good reputation in Huajue Lane, kind and generous, and has never caused trouble, but Gu Gongzi is a little afraid of guilt.

Of course, everyone speculates that the origin of the couple is not simple.

For example, Mrs. Gu, not to mention the noble temperament that is different from ordinary people, occasionally exudes a kind of majesty that gives orders, although it is well restrained, but the neighbors also keenly capture it.

As for Gu Gongzi, he is even more unique, he rarely talks and often smiles, but he always feels that he has a lot of stories, and when you talk to him, you will inadvertently see a clear look in his eyes, and you will have a kind of sadness.

Weird......

But this does not prevent the neighbors from having a good impression of the couple, hoping that they will live in Huajue Lane forever.

When he returned home and put the carp in a basin, Li Wan went to the well to fetch a bucket of water and brought it into the east house.

She motioned for Gu Changan to lift his feet, Gu Changan lifted his feet very cooperatively, and Li Wan squatted down and pretended to be disgusted and took off his shoes and pulled his socks.

"The lobby is leaking, it should be where the rubble is broken, you can climb up and take a look when the rain stops."

Li Wan lowered his head and spoke, while seriously washing his ankles.

Gu Changan looked at the delicate and beautiful woman, and then looked around at his comfortable house, and suddenly felt extremely happy.

"Uh-huh." He said.
