Chapter 118 Naming
The two returned to the town. Xie Anci did not want to show up, so Pei Xuan brought the baby to the county government.
Fortunately, with Pei Xuan's identity, the county magistrate took over the case very enthusiastically.
"Don't worry, Master Guo, I will give you an answer in three days." The county magistrate smiled and sent Pei Xuan out of the house.
"Thank you, come to Tongyuan Inn to find me if you have any news." Pei Xuan hugged the little guy, and the little guy looked at Pei Xuan with his eyes rolling.
"Okay, okay, please don't worry." The county magistrate rubbed his hands, watched Pei Xuan leave, and quickly sent someone to find the baby's parents.
When Pei Xuan returned to the inn, he saw Xie Anci teasing the little white rabbit on the table.
The little white rabbit grew very fast and ate a lot every day. Now it has grown into a big rabbit.
"How is it?" Xie Anci asked when he saw Pei Xuan coming back.
"The county magistrate has sent people to look for his parents. If they can't find them, we'll take him away." Pei Xuan lowered his head and looked at the delicate little baby.
"That's great." Xie Anci poked the little boy's chubby face, and the little boy giggled.
"How about giving this little thing a name?" Xie Anci had an idea. Otherwise, if he kept calling him "little boy" and "little thing", the child would probably be unhappy.
Pei Xuan chuckled, "Okay, how about you come and get him?"
Xie Anci shook his head, "Since you plan to give him to Pei Lin to raise, he can be considered as your apprentice, so you should come and get him, and he can take your last name."
Pei Xuan thought about it and it made sense. He pondered for a moment: "Why not call him Pei Muan?"
Xie Anci blinked his eyes when he heard it, and then reacted.
Pei Muan?
The thoughts of the state master are really easy to guess...
Xie Anci was a little embarrassed, and lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice.
"In this case, we should take him to buy some things. He is wearing such thin clothes in such a cold day, I am afraid he will freeze." Pei Xuan touched Pei Muan's face, fortunately it was still warm.
"Well, let's go out and buy some things." Xie Anci nodded.
The two came to the street. There were not many people today, but there were not a few either.
Many people were surprised to see the two men holding a child.
"Two men raising a child? Where is the child's mother?"
"Although they are both men, they look a good match..."
"..."
The discussion of the crowd reached the ears of Pei Xuan and Xie Anci.
The two did not care at all and brought Pei Muan to the tailor shop. The
two men were tall and straight, which was very eye-catching.
Xu Xiao, who was lying on the eaves, looked at the child in Pei Xuan's arms in a daze.
"I just haven't been with them for a few days, how come they have a child?"
"Master, that's a child they picked up." The woman next to him looked helpless.
"Picked? I also want to pick one with Anci." Xu Xiao was very envious, but he didn't dare to show up, for fear of scaring Xie Anci away.
The woman in red: "..."
"When will this kind of life end?" Xu Xiao complained bitterly.
"More haste makes waste. Has the Pavilion Master forgotten what you did before? In order to make Master Xie forgive you, you'd better be patient." The woman comforted Xu Xiao, "And aren't there two more people on this wall?"
The woman raised her chin. Xu Xiao looked across and saw Xie You and Zhou Yunqing also sneakily following Xie Anci and the other two.
The two men looked at each other with contempt, turned around and left quietly.
Pei Xuan and the other two who had just entered the tailor shop
were greeted by a graceful woman. The woman was slightly startled when she saw the two men, and then smiled.
"The two gentlemen, please come in..."
