Chapter 500 Her name is Xiaokui

Although being alone is lonely, it is also easier to concentrate.

Chu Jincheng quickly dug a piece of land and buried the sunflower seeds there. Just like he had done countless times before, he scattered the seeds with his hands and kicked the soil with his feet.

After planting, he took a step back and imagined what the sunflowers would look like in full bloom... so golden and beautiful.

Eunuch Huang came over and said, "Your Majesty, the birthday gifts for the young master and young lady are all ready. There are more than ten items in total, all of which are the most precious things in the world. Would you like to choose?"

The little devil went to take a look and saw everything from jade pendants to novelties. "They are all really good. It's hard to choose. Let's send them all."

Eunuch Huang was stunned. He reminded, "Your Majesty, these are unique pieces. If you give them away, you will have none left."

The little devil said nonchalantly: "If I want to see it, can't I just let them wear it into the palace?"

Eunuch Huang replied, "Okay, okay, I'll take them to the young master and young lady. Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, have they been named?"

Chu Jincheng thought for a moment and said, "It seems not yet. I didn't hear them shouting."

Eunuch Huang smiled and suggested: "Then the emperor can give them names, which is a great honor!"

The emperor bestowed names on the children of his subjects, which was a unique favor in the world, especially since he himself did not have any children.

The little devil's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said, "Let's go, I'll go give them names and send them off with these gifts!"

"yes."

Sitting at the desk, Chu Jincheng bit the pen and thought about what name to choose.

The first thing I thought of was the name of the eldest son.

Although he will become my elder brother-in-law in a dozen years, he is still the biological son of my father and mother, and my father's eldest son in the true sense.

Chu Jincheng wrote his name on the paper stroke by stroke: "Zong...Jin...Che."

Jincheng, Jinqing.

It's obvious they are brothers.

Although his surname is no longer Zong, he has used it for more than ten years. Now that his younger brother is born, not only does his younger brother have to inherit his surname, but the first character of his name also has to be passed on to him!

After thinking about his elder brother-in-law's name, he continued to think about the little queen's.

The little devil's poetry composing ability is at an above-average level, but his recitation is the best among the best. He thought of various poems about women's appearance and talent in his mind, from Bodhisattva to Song of Everlasting Sorrow, from Qingping Diao to Goddess of Luo River. The words and artistic conception in the famous poems are very beautiful, but he always feels that something is missing.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of a sunflower seed that had fallen on the table. He reached out and picked it up, smiling and calling out, "Xiaokui."

After he thought of the second name, he put it in an envelope after the ink dried and asked Eunuch Huang to send it out of the house. Originally, he wanted to write it in the imperial edict as a name, but he was afraid that his mother would not like it.

General's Mansion, evening.

Xu Wan was in the room with the two children when Zong Zhao came in with a letter and said to her, "Jin Cheng sent over a dozen precious Christmas gifts and gave them two names. Let me tell you if they sound good."

Xu Wan said with a sigh: "If I don't like it, can I just not use it?"

Zong Zhao chuckled: "Of course, he listens to you the most."

Xu Wan reached out and took the name. The little devil wrote it on two pieces of paper. The first one said "Zong Jinche", which was the name for the boy.

Xu Wan smiled and sighed, "If Jin Cheng was still in our house, this name would be perfect. Clear... at first glance, they are close brothers with a very good relationship, but now the word 'Jin' clashes with the emperor's name."

How could a minister like them get the same name as the royal family?

Zong Zhao took the name she handed over and replied, "Then change 'Jin' to 'Wen'. How about Sui Wenxiu's name?"

Zong Wenxiu was named in the slums. After the old marquis found him and brought him back to the mansion, he thought he was not Zong Yan's child, so he did not change his name to Jinxiu. Later, after knowing the truth, he had already gotten used to calling him by this name, so he did not change it.

"Zong Wenche." Xu Wan whispered, "Not bad, it doesn't affect their clear brotherhood."

Zong Zhao smiled and nodded, then asked, "What about the girl's name? Did he pick something messy?"

Xu Wan thought about what he said and burst out laughing: "You are not worried that he will give his daughter a name like 'Zongfeng Empress' or 'Zonghuang Empress'?"

Zong Zhao twitched his lips and said, "It's not impossible."

This also made Xu Wanxin excited. She looked carefully and saw five words written on it: "Zong Xiangkui, Xiaokui."

"Xiao Kui?" they both said at the same time.

Xu Wan looked at him and said, "It seems good. It's simple and cute, and more three-dimensional than the poetic names you thought."

Zong Zhao smiled and said, "Then call her Xiaokui."

"Xiao Kui..." Xu Wan looked at the two children sleeping peacefully, and suddenly remembered to ask, "They are twins of a dragon and a phoenix, so it's easier to recognize them. Have you and Zong Yan ever been mistaken for each other when you were little?"

Zong Zhao said: "We don't look the same."

Xu Wan spread her hands: "But you see, newborn babies seem to be the same, all of them are wrinkled."

Zong Zhao's brows were knitted together.

The baby suddenly started crying. It was Xiaokui.

Zong Zhao quickly checked around and found nothing unusual.

Xu Wan asked, "Is she hungry?"

"The nurse just fed them."

Zong Zhao picked up Xiao Kui and tried to comfort her with the coaxing and patting method he had just learned, but he didn't know if he hadn't learned it well or what, Xiao Kui cried even louder.

On the contrary, Zong Wenche kept his eyes shut, neither crying nor making a fuss.

Xu Wan suggested weakly: "How about... asking a nanny to come and coax her?"

Although she was good at educating children, she was helpless when it came to babies, let alone Zong Zhao. She didn't dare to use force when holding the child, as if she was kicking a time bomb.

"I'll go call the wet nurse." Zong Zhao put Xiao Kui down again, and the baby cried even louder.

The nurse was experienced. She came in and touched Xiao Kui's belly, guessing, "Maybe the young lady has stomach discomfort. Let's wait for the palace doctor to come and take a look. I will rub her belly first."

"Ah?" The two new parents were stunned.

Will the baby have stomach pain right after birth?

The two of them didn't understand anything. They just saw the nanny taking care of the baby. The crying did become a little quieter, but still very loud.

There was a knock on the door. I thought it was the palace doctor, but it was Cuizhi who came in and said nervously, "General, in the next courtyard... the second young master seems to have had an accident. The Marquis wants you to go over and take a look."

"Zong Yan!"

Zong Zhao was very worried, but his daughter was still crying.

Xu Wan waved at him: "Go quickly, don't let anything happen to Zong Yan. The child should only have a minor problem, and it can be solved when the court doctor comes. Besides, there are so many of us here."

Zong Zhao hesitated for a moment and said to her, "I'll be back soon."

Xu Wan smiled at him and said, "Go ahead. We are so close to you. Nothing will happen to you."

"good……"

When Zong Zhao rushed over, Zong Yan was still in the room, but the old marquis had been driven out.

"Dad, what's going on? Is Zong Yan in pain again?"

The old marquis shook his head in confusion: "I don't know either. He wouldn't let me in, let alone touch him. Oh, by the way, he started to make trouble when he heard the crying. He was very well behaved before that."
