Gu Qingcheng's eyes were filled with encouragement, "You say!"
Because she was so warm-hearted, Ma Dabing was not so decisive.
He didn't answer but asked, "Do you know my name?"
Gu Qingcheng was stunned for a moment. She really didn't know.
Neither the original owner's memory nor the gossip he heard while eating in the hotel mentioned the name of Commander Ma.
However, seeing that Ma Dadan's face was full of embarrassment and awkwardness, Gu Qingcheng guessed that the name of this Commander Ma should not be very pleasant.
It should be a derogatory name like Gousheng or Yezhu.
This is not just because "a cheap name is easier to live with", but because as the lowest class of people, they are illiterate and cannot come up with any good names with meaningful meanings.
Gu Qingcheng said apologetically, "I haven't asked Commander Ma's name yet. I'm sorry!"
Ma Dabing felt that Gu Qingcheng was more and more cultured——
Tsk tsk, listen to what he said, he didn’t say that he didn’t know, but that he was rude!
Oh my, it’s the same sentence, why do people say it so nicely and elegantly?
"My name is Ma Dadan!"
When he said his name, Ma Dabing's dark face turned red.
He scratched his head again in embarrassment, "Well, I don't have any other strengths, but I'm brave!"
During the battle, he dared to charge forward.
When he went to the battlefield for the first time, other recruits were so scared that they were shaking, but he dared to raise the big knife and kill with all his might.
Strangely enough, the recruits hiding in the back were either injured or killed.
As for him, he always rushes to the front and survives.
At that time, his friends laughed at him, "You fool, how can you be so brave?"
Someone else described him like this, "Yes, that's the guy, a fool and audacious!"
So bold, so bold.
Gradually, he, a man without a name, began to have a "nickname" - Ma Dadan.
Later, his fellow soldiers either died or fled, leaving only Ma Dadan.
He saved the governor and was promoted all the way.
Perhaps it was because he was promoted too quickly, many people would politely call him "Commander Ma" in front of others, but would contemptuously call him "a bold fool" behind his back.
Ma Dabing is also a bachelor. You are afraid of me, dislike me, look down on me, and deliberately use nicknames to make fun of me.
I am not afraid, I even call myself "Ma Dadan".
Out of frustration, Ma Dabing did not ask anyone to help him change his name after he became successful.
After these years, Ma Dabing has become calm and experienced, no longer as competitive as he was when he was young.
He began to think that he should change his name.
I am the commander now!
He treated his subordinates well, and they didn't dare to call him by his name.
When going out to socialize, if you meet other warlords or foreigners, others will help introduce them to you.
"This is Commander Ma Dadan!"
When those people heard their names, there was shock and surprise in their eyes, and some were even trying to hold back their laughter.
Ma Dadan: ...Damn it! What's wrong with my name being Dadan? Is it really that ridiculous?
But those people were not the ones he could lose his temper with.
Not only did he not care, he even played dumb and joked to himself, "Hey, I don't have any other strengths except that I'm brave!"
To be honest, every time Ma Dabing made fun of his own name, he felt an inexplicable sense of humiliation.
change!
It must be changed!
He wants to change his name to a nice and elegant one.
However, Ma Dabing did not trust the scholars who depended on him.
He always felt that these people were respectful on the surface, but in fact they looked down on him from the bottom of their hearts.
Ma Dabing was worried that these people would take advantage of their education and use the opportunity of naming him to deliberately humiliate him.
He is illiterate and doesn't know what is good or bad. If he takes a piece of rubbish as a treasure, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?
On the other hand, this Gu family in front of him is very educated, but he doesn't look down on others.
Moreover, Ma Dabing knew that this woman was very smart and she would definitely not do anything stupid.
"Courageous? That's a huge advantage."
"A military commander must be fearless and courageous."
"Bold, dare!"
"In ancient times, there was a general whose name contained the character 'Gan'."
"He was the son of General Li Guang, and poets even wrote poems about him, praising his bravery!"
Gu Qingcheng talked a lot incessantly.
The more Ma Dabing listened, the brighter his eyes became. "Dare? Yes, others don't dare, but I do!"
"Haha, that's a great name! From now on I'll be called Ma Gan."
Gu Qingcheng: ...Well, Gan is a good name, but when paired with the surname Ma, it is easy for people to give it a nickname.
However, it doesn't matter. If someone really wants to make a fuss about the name, no matter what the surname or the given name is, people can find loopholes.
"Brave, daring, these words are very suitable for the general."
Gu Qingcheng thought about it and gave an alternative.
When Ma Dadan said the two words "Ma Gan", his heart skipped a beat.
Ma Gan, the meaning is very good.
But, the homonym is "ma gan er".
How could a big and strong man like him be called a sticky boy?
Oh, why does my surname have to be “Ma”?
Ma Dabing seemed to have forgotten that during the day, when he listened to Gu Qingcheng's nonsense about General Fu Bo Ma Yuan, he was happy that he had such an awesome ancestor.
Just when Ma Dabing was struggling, Gu Qingcheng said the word "courage" again.
Ma Dabing silently repeated in his heart: Ma Yong! Well, at least people won’t associate him with Ma Ganer!
Courage is also good.
