Chapter 294: Yin Zhang
But at this moment she suddenly raised a question.
"You said the heroine's parents favored boys over girls? But from what you wrote, the heroine's name is Su Yinzhang, how nice it sounds!
In that feudal and closed era, it was obvious that this name was specially given by a learned person.
This shows that her parents value her, otherwise why don’t they just pick someone randomly?
And if boys are favored over girls, and she is the eldest daughter, why not call her Zhaodi, Yindi, Laidi, etc.?
Or do you want to change it? Wouldn't it be more reflective of the heroine's parents' attitude if the name was changed to this? "
Zhao Yanshu was silent for a long time, and finally he sighed and looked at her and said: "The heroine's father is set in the text as a teacher in the old society.
Although he favors boys over girls, as a scholar, he doesn't want others to know, or doesn't want to show it so obviously.
The character "璋" in the heroine's name is the same as the character "章" in "article" in ancient times, and articles were usually written by men.
So "章" generally represents a man, and "引璋" can also be written as "引章", which means to bring out a son.
...It actually means the same thing as what you said about Zhao Di, Yin Di, and Pan Di."
“…”
Lin Yuzhu was completely confused. "What? So Yinzhang is Yindi? It's just a more subtle way of saying it?"
"right!"
Lin Yuzhu was a little speechless, "You are too... No, I mean you literati really know how to have fun!"
Lin Yuzhu felt that her suggestion was unnecessary and a little embarrassed. She coughed twice, pretending not to care, and nodded, "Well, you wrote it well. The outline didn't mention the heroine's father's occupation. I didn't even think of that."
"Yeah." Zhao Yanshu also smiled and said, "Blame me. I was too careless."
Although he said so, Lin Yuzhu always felt that he was making fun of herself, so she couldn't read any more, put down the outline and said, "Well, it's good, the story is good, and it's very different from the previous ones. I think some people will like it. It's winter vacation soon, so you can start writing. I will tell Shuyao not to disturb you."
Zhao Yanshu still smiled and nodded, "Okay."
Seeing this, Lin Yuzhu couldn't stay any longer and left quickly.
…
In the days that followed, Zhao Yanshu stayed at home writing books. Before the New Year, since Lin Yuzhu had to go to work, he would also take time out to buy New Year's goods.
Maybe because of the relaxation this year, several large markets were held in the surrounding suburbs to sell some agricultural products.
After Lin Yuzhu found out, she took advantage of the holiday and went there with Zhao Yanshu. It was very lively and there were a lot of people.
The two also bought a lot of things, especially some bacon, planning to give them as gifts to Director Liu, Professor Li and others during the New Year.
After all, they are leaders and elders, and there are many taboos due to their positions and backgrounds. If you give them too good a gift, they probably won't accept it. It's just right to give them some agricultural products.
When the Chinese New Year came, the country directly stipulated three days of holiday, and combined with the public holidays, it became four days of holiday in total.
Because it was the first Spring Festival in their new home, Lin Yuzhu and his wife wanted to have a good time. Not only did they clean the house and put up Spring Festival couplets, they also prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner.
After the New Year, there were many visits to relatives and friends to wish them a happy new year. It was very busy. Even though Lin Yuzhu was still young, she felt a little tired. The only happy person in the family was probably Shuyao. The little girl received a lot of red envelopes.
By the time she returned to work on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the preliminary preparations for the new project had been almost completed. However, it was a little colder this year than in previous years, so Lin Yuzhu discussed with the construction team and planned to start work later, probably in April or May. Therefore, she had a relatively relaxed period during this period.
