A group of people were having a great time, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Seeing their enthusiasm, Qin Xi smiled. However, she was still preoccupied with something else—what exactly were her elders doing at the Minister's residence?
If it's a family reunion dinner, why not bring your wife?
If it's not a family reunion dinner, then what are we going there for? It can't be to discuss business, can it?
Could it be that you're hiding something from them?
Qin Xi was extremely curious, and after the banquet, she dragged Lu Huai back to the mansion. She didn't even have the mind to release the lanterns anymore; she just wanted to go back and see for herself.
After finally getting off the carriage, I heard a commotion.
"The five champions!"
"May everything go smoothly!"
"Old Xu, you've lost again!"
"What's going on? Qin Fox, are you cheating? Let me see your hand!"
"Hahaha!"
"show me!"
"What are you looking at? I won! This is what I say, this is the name!"
"You won't do it, listen to me!"
"That's my grandson, he has to listen to me!"
"..."
After a moment of silence, Qin Xi frowned, her expression unreadable. "What are they doing?"
"Playing a drinking game." Lu Huai raised an eyebrow. Were these people drinking behind their backs?
Both of them were somewhat confused, but after a quarter of an hour, they understood the whole story.
The butler approached the two with a roll of Xuan paper. "Young Master, Young Madam, please unfold this."
Qin Qi and Lu Huai exchanged a glance, and the latter stepped forward to take it, slowly unfolding it. The next moment, two large, elegant characters appeared before them—"Jian Yuan."
There was also a line of small print next to it—
"Gradually, the sound of the cold wind rises, deep and still in the city." Qin Qi recited softly, then asked curiously, "What does this mean?"
She could tell that the handwriting belonged to Prime Minister Qin, but why write those two characters?
The butler smiled and said, "I heard that the young master gave the young master the nickname 'Coal Ball,' so after careful consideration by the masters, they gave the young master the formal name—Lu Jianyuan."
Qin Xi: "..."
Lu Huai: "..."
How about we think it through carefully? Play rock-paper-scissors?
No wonder I didn't go to Yuxianzhai with them; now I understand.
Gradually moving away from the abyss? The meaning is quite good. Compared to a lump of coal, this is much better.
Qin Xi only considered it for a moment before happily accepting the calligraphy.
So let's congratulate Sijing on gaining another prestigious name!
Lu Sijing, once again under control: "..."
Lu Huai picked up Si Jing, who had just woken up, and looked at Qin Xi's smiling face, feeling an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
Heaven has truly blessed him.
...
Now the land is at peace, and the nation is prosperous and the people live in tranquility. Beneath the idyllic years lies an unseen serenity. The Prime Minister remains the Prime Minister, and the Minister remains the Minister, just as she remains his wife.
Looking at his wife and children playing in the yard, Lu Huai's eyes were clear, and he unconsciously curled up the corners of his lips.
—The End—
