35, Chapter 35
Qin Fang raised his eyebrows: "Do we still need to give it a name? What name should we give it?" Erdan? Donkey Egg? Tiedan? When Qin Fang was in his hometown, the whole village was full of names like this, so when Yang Haiyan asked, he subconsciously thought about it. "You should choose it." He felt that he was not good at naming, and even the names of his two younger brothers took him a long time to come up with.
Yang Haiyan thought about it: "Then let's call it Wu Shuai." Wu Shuai Wu Shuai, the more Yang Haiyan thought about it, the better it sounded.
Nanny Lian was curious: "Why is it called Wu Shuai?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Wu means black, its whole body is black, so we took the word Wu, Shuai means marshal, Wu Shuai, is the marshal of horses." Generally speaking, in ancient times, names had their origins, or had other artistic conceptions. Take the name of the original owner, for example, there were four maids who served Miss Yang with her, all from a poem:
The fine grass is sad about the smoke, the quiet flowers are afraid of the dew. Leaning on the railing is always a place of ecstasy. The sun is high and the courtyard is quiet, no one is around, and sometimes the sea swallows fly away in pairs. The silk dress is loosened, and the incense is fading. The long sky cannot stop the long road. The weeping willows only know how to attract the spring breeze, but never can they tie the travelers to stay.
Fine grass, secluded flowers, sea swallows, weeping willows.
Four names.
At that time, the original owner was only five years old, and Miss Yang was about the same age. Naturally, she didn't know the poetic meaning of it, and even didn't recognize many words. It was the lady who took a collection of poems and asked Miss Yang to turn to one of the pages. She read it while Miss Yang circled the names of the four people with a pen.
This is the origin of the name, which is more interesting than her own name. Her name was given by her grandmother, but there is no origin or artistic conception.
Thinking about it, she has never thought of her grandmother since she came here. On the contrary, when she was at home in modern times, she would think about it almost every day, and she felt inexplicably sore and wanted to cry. Obviously, she was successful in her career at that time, and her grandmother had been dead for ten years.
Qin Fang thought about it and said, "Wu Shuai, this name is good, and the wife is smart."
Yang Haiyan came to her senses and bowed to Qin Fang mischievously, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Everyone admired Wu Shuai's handsome face and went to do their own things. Yang Haiyan went to the room and opened the box given by the wife of the prince. She was a little surprised to see the things inside. It was a set of ruby head ornaments. It was not complete because the number of pieces was not complete. There was only a ruby hairpin and a pair of ruby earrings. The ruby here is also called red jade. Red jade is hard to find and there are few of them, so it can't be made into large pieces. It can only be made into small pieces such as hairpins and earrings, and they are very delicate.
Although this jewelry is not expensive, it costs a hundred taels of silver. The main reason is that it can't be bought, so it is very meaningful. But why did the wife of the prince give this to herself?
The maid of Madam Qinzi didn't understand this question either.
"Miss, why did you give this red jade jewelry to Madam Qin?" You should know that at the beginning, the young lady didn't order this set of jewelry, but later asked her to secretly change it. "This is a new product that just arrived in the Treasure Pavilion. You liked it very much when you saw it." It was just bought and originally planned to be worn during the New Year, but because of the young master's matter, Madam Qinzi didn't want to dress too brightly, so she never wore it.
Madam Xiaozi said, "My dear Lady Qin has fair skin and is at a young age, so she is very suitable for such bright colors."
Madam Xiaozi smiled and said, "You are absolutely right."
Madam Xiaozi: "Nurse, what do you think of Lady Qin and Madam Yang?"
Madam Xiaozi said frankly, "Lady Qin is smarter, and Madam Yang is more pragmatic, but they both have clear eyes and are not the kind of people with bad intentions."
Madam Xiaozi nodded, "I think so too." The gift she gave to Yang Dahua was not bad.
At this time, Yang Dahua was also looking at the gift given by Madam Xiaozi.
Like Yang Haiyan's, it was also a hairpin and a pair of earrings, but Yang Dahua's was a pearl hair bun and pearl earrings. For Yang Dahua, simple accessories are more suitable for her, and she can't stand too complicated ones.
So the wife of the prince still had some thoughts when choosing gifts.
The pearls were not big, nor were they small, and they could hold up the scene among the wives of officials below the fifth rank. Officials above the fifth rank would not be able to rise to the occasion, but they would not be shabby.
The wife of the prince could certainly afford a bigger pearl, but any bigger pearl would not be suitable for Yang Dahua's status. Sometimes, jewelry that does not suit you will overwhelm you.
Yang Dahua looked at Han Zhen: "This is a gift from the wife of the prince. This... is too expensive, right?"
Han Zhen naturally did not know the price of women's things. He comforted Yang Dahua: "We saved the young master. This is the prince's wife's intention. You can keep it. If you don't keep it, it will seem that they still owe us this favor."
Yang Dahua accepted it without hesitation. However, she felt that she would not have the chance to take it with her. "By the way, when I was chatting with Haiyan before, Haiyan mentioned that in March, Mr. Qin's military service will be over, and they plan to return home. Do you have this idea?"
Han Zhen never told Yang Dahua about his family situation. He didn't say it at first because he felt it was unnecessary. Now that their relationship is getting better and better, and they have children, he naturally wants to say: "No, just treat me as if I died outside. My family is different from the Qin family..."
Yang Dahua couldn't help but feel sorry for him after hearing this: "Husband, you still have me and our children. We will be a family in the future.
Han Zhen hugged her: "Yeah." He is also a family, so he won't think about that cold home anymore.
…
after dinner
Qin Fang was reading in the study, and Yang Haiyan was doing embroidery in the study. Today's doll reminded her of something. Ancient embroidery was cheap, but on the platform, the price was very expensive. Although the family did not worry about money. , but no one would mind having too much money, so she planned to sell embroidery on the platform.
Qin Fang: "Yanyan, I'm going to the military camp tomorrow, and I won't be here for the next few days." He has been resting for five days, which is considered good.
Yang Haiyan was stunned: "Is it my turn to be on duty again at night?" After a long time, she even forgot her duty time.
Qin Fang: "No. It's about the barbarians. The barbarians are preparing to attack the barbarians." He did not elaborate. After all, it was military.
Yang Haiyan didn't ask, just concerned: "Then you have to protect yourself, be careful in everything, don't rush forward risklessly, you have to remember me, remember your father and mother, remember that we are not here yet child."
Qin Fang was moved by what she said: "Well, we still have a baby."
When it comes to children, people in ancient times favored sons over daughters. Yang Haiyan decided to trick him: "Ms. sir, do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
Qin Fang thought about the women in the countryside who liked their sons but not their daughters, and worried that she would be afraid of this, so he immediately said: "I like daughters." In fact, he really liked daughters.
Yang Haiyan knew that Qin Fang would not tell lies, but she was a little surprised that there were men who liked girls in ancient times.
Qin Fang was relieved when he saw that she looked fine. "What about you? Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
Yang Haiyan: "I like them all." As long as they are born by themselves. However, she had no idea of ancient generations living together in a big house. If it's okay to have a daughter, then naturally they won't be able to live together when the daughter gets married. If it is a son's wife, a house should be prepared before the son gets married, and they will live separately after they get married. As for what his son's life will be like, he will be responsible for it after he gets married. When she becomes ill in the future, she can make a will. If the child becomes pregnant, the property will be divided equally.
But she was just thinking about it temporarily, who knew if she would change her mind in the future.
next day
Qin Fang and Kun Shi had breakfast early in the morning and went to the military camp. They met Han Zhen on the way, and the three of them went together. I have to say that Qin Fang and Han Zhen's horses are quite eye-catching.
When Han Zhen saw Qin Fang, he said, "I finally have a horse. You don't need to carry me anymore."
Speaking of which, before Kunshi came, it was Qin Fang who set up Han Zhen. After Kunshi came, this task was handed over to Kunshi.
Qin Fang glanced at him: "Does your horse have a name?"
Han Zhen groaned: "Is this still a name? Isn't it too particular? Did you choose a name? Captain Qin Qian, this is not your past style."
Qin Fang touched Wushuai and said, "My wife took it from me and called it Wushuai."
When Wu Shuai heard Qin Fang calling him, he responded excitedly.
Qin Fang's eyes widened immediately after looking at it: "Does it still know that this is calling it?"
Kunshi said: "The adults hung it with food and called Wu Shuai at the same time. It took a long time to train it to react like this."
Han Zhen: "This is too smart."
Qin Fang: "Do you know what Wu Shuai means?"
Han Zhen: "It's just like an iron egg and a donkey's egg, is it still interesting?" Han Zhen is more illiterate than Qin Fang.
Qin Fang's tone was a bit proud: "Of course, Wu means black, Shuai means generalissimo, and Wushuai means the generalissimo of Mali."
When Han Zhen heard this, he said, "I know the name of my horse."
Qin Fang couldn't say no: "Iron egg?"
Han Zhen sighed: "It's Wu Jiang. These two horses are of the same breed. If I don't compete with you for the marshal, I will compete with you for the general. How about Wu Jiang?"
Qin Fang: "Not very good." This guy is so shameless. Wu Shuai was named by his wife, Maer, so how could Han Zhen apply it?
Han Zhen didn't mind, he said to Wu Jiang: "From now on you will be Wu Jiang, Wu Jiang, charge, drive..."
"Drive..." Qin Fang also speeded up.
As soon as Qin Fang arrived at the military camp and rested for a while, General Ao sent someone to call him over. Qin put it in the camp of . In addition to and General Ao, there was also a captain under General Ao. After a while, three more captains came, and the prince spoke: "The purpose of calling you here this time is because of the barbarian incident. The barbarian tried to use despicable means last time. We threaten our military camp and want to seize the opportunity to occupy Yongzhou. This time I decided to fight back. We have a total of 50,000 people in the Yongjun military camp. General Ao will take the 5,000 people under you to lurk to the barbarian side. The remaining 45,000 soldiers will go from there. Frontal interference..."
