Liu Wanyun, Guan Xiaoyu, and Zhang Xinyue, three best friends, got drunk at KTV and accidentally fell into the water on their way home, transmigrating to an unknown ancient era.
The three wan...
Thanks to the three of them exercising well during pregnancy, and thanks to God's blessing, Zhang Xinyue gave birth smoothly without any problems.
As expected, Zhang Xinyue gave birth to two sons.
Old Master Shen, Master Shen, and Old Third Shen were all so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
The two elders were naturally happy because the boy born would carry on the family line.
Shen Lao San was happy because he could own one or two more shops than his two brothers.
But he didn't dare smile too happily in front of Zhang Xinyue, because his wife was not happy when she heard that they were both sons. He was afraid that his wife would think that he favored boys over girls and that he had forgotten her after having a son, and that he had neglected her.
After all, it was her own baby. Zhang Xinyue felt regretful for two days, but then she accepted the fact.
Now, all three of them are in confinement after giving birth, and there is no one to talk to them, which makes them feel very depressed.
To relieve boredom, Liu Wanyun and the other two asked the servants to pass them small notes and chat every day, which they found very interesting.
At first, the three of them thought that it would be so hard to give birth to and raise children, let alone two. Later, they found that they were overthinking it. Now they are the young ladies of a wealthy family. When their children are born, they have a wet nurse to take care of them and there are special maids to serve them.
At most, I just have to keep an eye on it myself to prevent the wet nurse and the maid from being careless.
When I want to see the baby, I just let him be brought to me. I don’t have to get up at night to feed him. He can eat when he wants and sleep when he wants. The confinement period is very comfortable. If it were not for the convenience of living in our own courtyards, the three of us would like to go to Jingxinzhai to spend the confinement period together and play mahjong every day when we have nothing to do.
The only worry is what to name the child.
Shen Chaodong was not in a hurry about this matter. After all, the child was not even a month old. In addition, Old Master Shen lived in the mansion, so he wanted his grandfather to help name his child.
When Shen Lao San saw that his wife had given birth to two sons, he was no longer anxious about the matter, because there was a high probability that he would not be the one to name the children.
Only Shen Laoer, because he had two daughters, thought his father would not interfere with him, so he looked through books and thought of two nice names for them.
Liu Wanyun and the other two didn't know what their men were thinking. They thought they were not in a hurry and just wanted them to name the baby.
The three of them racked their brains to think of names, but most of them were some funny homophonic names, such as Chen Xin, Chen Li, Chen Mo, Chen Jing, Chen Shi and so on. There was not a single serious and profound name.
In order to come up with a name, the three of them passed around a basket of notes, and because of these funny names, they laughed every day.
After Boss Shen found out, he quickly told Liu Wanyun his thoughts, fearing that she would be too happy and get angry later when she found out that what she took was useless.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Wanyun heard that she was asked to name her child, Old Master Shen, she immediately refused.
“Brother Dong, I don’t want my grandfather to give me a name.”
Boss Shen was puzzled, "Why?"
Liu Wanyun hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth, "Look at Grandfather and Second Uncle's names, Changfu and Changgui, how tacky!"
Boss Shen wanted to laugh, but he held it back and explained, "That's because my father and his family's generation name is the eldest."
Liu Wanyun: "What about the names of you three brothers? Was it given by Grandfather or Grandfather? Are you from the Chao generation?"
Boss Shen nodded, "Our names were also chosen by our grandfather, the generation name is Chao, and our children's generation name should be Wenzi generation."
Shen Wen...
It seems that these two characters together make it easy to name a child, but Liu Wanyun doesn't want her child's name to be just one character different from the others. The most important thing is that in ancient times, generation characters were generally used for naming boys, not girls.
She didn't want her daughter to feel that she was being treated differently, and she hoped that the names of her two children would be related so that people could tell at a glance that they were brother and sister.
"Does it have to be named by my grandfather? Can we name it ourselves? I gave birth to this child with great effort..." Liu Wanyun said aggrievedly and began to act like a spoiled child.
Shen Chaodong was a little embarrassed. Usually, being named by an elder is a great honor and also a respect for the elders.
But he also understood that his wife was worried that the name his grandfather had chosen was not nice. "How about we take a look at what name his grandfather had chosen first, and then you can decide whether to use it or not?"
Liu Wanyun shook her head.
Once you agree to let your grandfather choose the name, you will no longer have any say in whether it sounds good or not.
An idea suddenly struck her mind, and she acted as if she was giving in reluctantly. "If you insist on having my grandfather name me, then I have a request. My son and daughter are twins, and I want their names to be related. Either my daughter should also be named after her generation name, or we can both use no generation name at all. Is that okay?"
"Also, I hope I can finally confirm this name..."
With sister-in-law Liu Wanyun as an example, Guan Xiaoyu and Zhang Xinyue also made the same statement.
After learning about his grandson's wife's request, Old Master Shen looked at the name he had chosen and decided to give up. However, he couldn't think of a better one for the time being, so he had to send someone to invite Master Shen Er.
In comparison, among the elders of the Shen family, Mr. Shen Er is indeed more literary.
In fact, he was not very satisfied with his own name, but he did not dare to refute it at the time. Later, when he grew up, he felt that it did not matter. Now, after seeing the name proposed by Old Master Shen, he did not say anything, but shook his head silently.
The whole family pondered over the names of the three pairs of twins for a long time, and finally confirmed them when Liu Wanyun and the other two were out of confinement.
Boss Shen’s son and daughter are named Shen Xingchen and Shen Mingyue respectively.
Shen Lao Er's two daughters are named Chen Mengdie and Shen Ziyan.
The two sons of Shen Lao San adopted generation names, and were named Shen Wenhao and Shen Wenhan respectively.
Overall, everyone was quite satisfied with the name.
Because the six children were born as twins, they were weaker than those born as singletons. In order to make them easier to raise, Mrs. Shen asked their mothers to give them each a more humble nickname.
So, Mr. Shen's son was named Daniu, and as for his daughter, Liu Wanyun really didn't want to give her a name that sounded too ugly, so she named her Xiaoduo.
Shen Lao Er's two daughters are named Daya and Erya.
Shen Lao San's two sons are named Da Gou and Er Gou.
After the three of them finished their confinement, the first thing they did was to hold their children and study together who the six children looked like.
It turned out that these six children all looked like their father. In addition, the baby swaddles and clothes prepared by the mansion were of similar styles and materials. When put together, it was difficult to tell who belonged to which family!
Zhang Xinyue was so amused, "The genes of this child's father are too strong! We need to find out if there is anything special about our child, otherwise we won't be able to tell if we give him the wrong one!"
Two days after these words were spoken, Guan Xiaoyu's maid discovered that one of the Miss Suns had turned into Young Master Sun when she was bathing the Miss Suns.
