Qin Fang raised his eyebrows: "Do we still need to give it a name? What name should we give it?" Erdan? Donkey Egg? Tiedan? When Qin Fang was in his hometown, the whole village had such names, so when Yang Haiyan asked, he subconsciously thought about it. "You should give it to it." He felt that he was not good at naming, and even the names of his two younger brothers took him a long time to come up with.
Yang Haiyan thought about it: "Then let's call it Wu Shuai." Wu Shuai Wu Shuai, the more Yang Haiyan thought about it, the better it sounded.
Nanny Lian was curious: "Why is it called Wu Shuai?"
Yang Haiyan said: "Wu means black, its whole body is black, so we took the word Wu, and Shuai means general, Wu Shuai, which means general among horses." Generally speaking, names in ancient times have their origins, or have other artistic conceptions. Take the original owner's name, for example. There were four maids who served Miss Yang with her. They all came from a poem:
The thin grass is sad about the smoke, and the flowers are afraid of the dew. The gate is always a place of ecstasy. The sun is high and the courtyard is quiet and empty. From time to time, the sea swallows fly away in pairs. The belt is slow, the silk clothes are loose, and the incense is withered. The long days cannot stop the long road. The weeping willows only know how to attract the spring breeze, but they have never been able to tie down the travelers.
Thin grass, faint flowers, sea swallows, weeping willows.
Four names.
At that time, the original owner was only five years old, and Miss Yang was about the same age. Naturally, she didn't know the meaning of the poem, and she didn't even recognize many words. So the lady took a collection of poems and asked Miss Yang to turn to one of the pages. She read it while Miss Yang circled the names of the four people with a pen.
This is the origin of the name, which has a longer origin than her own name. Her name was given by her great-grandmother, but it has no origin or artistic conception.
Come to think of it, she has never thought of her great-grandmother since she came here. On the contrary, when she was at home in the modern world, she would think of her almost every day, and she felt inexplicably sore and wanted to cry. Obviously, she was successful in her career at that time, and her great-grandmother had been dead for more than ten years.
Qin Fang pondered the meaning of this: "Wu Shuai, this name is well chosen, and your madam is smart."
Yang Haiyan came back to her senses and bowed to Qin Fang mischievously: "Thank you for the compliment, sir."
Everyone admired Wu Shuai's handsome face and went about their own business. Yang Haiyan returned to her room and opened the box sent by the Crown Prince's wife. She was a little surprised to see what was inside. It was a set of ruby head ornaments. It was not a complete set because the number of pieces was not complete. There was only a ruby hairpin and a pair of ruby earrings. The rubies here are also called red jade. Red jade is hard to find and there are few of them, so it cannot be made into large items. It can only be made into small items such as hairpins and earrings, and they are very delicate.
Although this jewelry is not expensive, it is worth a hundred taels of silver. The main reason is that it is not available, so it is very meaningful. But why did the Crown Prince's wife give this to herself?
The Crown Prince's wife's nanny did not understand this question.
"Miss, why did you give this red jade jewelry to Mrs. Qin?" You must know that at the beginning, the young lady did not order this set of jewelry, but later asked her to secretly change it. "This is a new item that has just arrived in the Treasure Pavilion. You liked it very much when you saw it." She had just bought it and originally planned to wear it during the New Year, but because of the young master's matter, the prince's wife didn't want to dress too brightly, so she never wore it.
The prince's wife said, "I see that Qin Ruren has fair skin and is at a young age, so this bright color is very suitable for her."
The nanny smiled and said, "You are very right."
The prince's wife: "Nanny, what do you think of Qin Ruren and Madam Yang?"
The nanny said frankly, "Qin Ruren is smarter, and Madam Yang is more pragmatic, but both of them have clear eyes and don't look like the kind of people with bad intentions."
The prince's wife nodded, "I think so too." The gift she gave to Yang Dahua was not bad.
At this time, Yang Dahua was also looking at the gift given by the prince's wife.
Like Yang Haiyan, she also had a hairpin and a pair of earrings, but Yang Dahua had a pearl hairpin and pearl earrings. For Yang Dahua, simple accessories are more suitable for her, and she can't stand too complicated ones.
So the wife of the prince still put some thought into choosing gifts.
The pearls are not too big, nor too small, and they can be worn by wives of officials below the fifth rank. For officials above the fifth rank, this is not acceptable, but it will not be shabby either.
The wife of the prince can certainly afford bigger pearls, but any bigger pearls are not suitable for Yang Dahua's status. Sometimes, accessories that don't suit you will oppress you.
Yang Dahua looked at Han Zhen: "This is a gift from the wife of the prince. This... This is too expensive, isn't it?"
Han Zhen naturally didn't know the price of women's things. He comforted Yang Dahua: "We saved the young master. This is the wife of the prince's heart. You can keep it. If you don't keep it, it will seem that they still owe us this favor."
Yang Dahua accepted it without hesitation. However, she felt that she would not have the chance to take this thing with her. "By the way, when I was chatting with Haiyan before, Haiyan mentioned that in March, Lord Qin's military service will be over, and they plan to return to their hometown. Do you have this idea?"
Han Zhen had never told Yang Dahua about the situation at home. He didn't say it at first because he felt it was unnecessary. But now that their relationship is getting better and better, and they have a child, he naturally has to say it: "If you don't go back, just think of me dying outside. My family is different from the Qin family..."
Yang Dahua couldn't help but feel sorry for him after hearing this: "Husband, you still have me and our child. We will be a family in the future.
Han Zhen hugged her: "Yeah. "He has a family now, so he won't think about that cold home anymore.
...
After dinner
Qin Fang was reading in the study, while Yang Haiyan was doing needlework in the study. The doll today reminded her of something. Embroidery was cheap in ancient times, but it was much more expensive when put on the platform. Although the family didn't have to worry about money, no one would complain about having too much money, so she planned to sell embroidery on the platform.
Qin Fang: "Yan Yan, I'm going to the barracks tomorrow and I won't be back for the next few days." He had been on rest for five days, which was a lot.
Yang Haiyan was stunned: "Is it my turn to be on duty at night again?" It's been a long time, and she has forgotten her duty time.
Qin Fang: "No. It's about the barbarians. The prince is preparing to attack the barbarians. "He didn't explain in detail, after all, it was a military matter.
Yang Haiyan didn't ask much, but said with concern: "Then you have to protect yourself, be careful, don't rush forward recklessly, you have to remember me, remember your father and mother, and remember that we don't have children yet."
Qin Fang's heart was moved by what she said: "Well, we still have to have children."
Speaking of the issue of children, the ancient people were very serious about favoring boys over girls. Yang Haiyan decided to test him: "Husband, do you like sons or girls?" Qin Fang
thought of the fact that women in the countryside like sons but not girls, and worried that she was afraid of this, he immediately said: "I like girls." In fact, he really likes girls.
Yang Haiyan knew that Qin Fang would not tell lies, but she was a little surprised that there would be men in ancient times who liked girls.
Qin Fang was relieved when he saw that she looked fine. "What about you? Do you like a son or a daughter?"
Yang Haiyan: "I like both." As long as they are her own children. However, she did not have the idea of several generations living together in a big house like in ancient times. If she gave birth to a daughter, it would be fine. When the daughter got married, they naturally could not live together. If it was a son, she would prepare a house before the son got married, and live separately after the marriage. As for the son's life, he would be responsible for it after the marriage. When she was ill in the future, she would make a will. If there were many children, the property would be divided equally.
But she was just thinking about it for the time being. Who knew if she would change her mind in the future.
The next day
Qin Fang took Kun Shi to the military camp after breakfast. On the way, he met Han Zhen and the three of them went together. It must be said that Qin Fang and Han Zhen's horses are quite eye-catching.
Han Zhen said when he saw Qin Fang: "I finally have a horse, and I don't need you to carry me anymore."
Speaking of which, before Kun Shi came, Qin Fang always carried Han Zhen. After Kun Shi came, this task was handed over to Kun Shi.
Qin Fang glanced at him: "Does your horse have a name?"
Han Zhen exclaimed: "Is it still a name? It's too particular, isn't it? Did you give it a name? Captain Qin, this is not your usual style."
Qin Fang touched Wu Shuai: "My wife at home gave it the name Wu Shuai."
Wu Shuai heard Qin Fang calling it, and responded excitedly a few times.
Qin Fang's eyes widened immediately after seeing it: "Does it know that you are calling it?"
Kunshi said: "The master kept it lured with food and called it Wu Shuai. It took a long time to train it and it will react."
Han Zhen: "That's too smart."
Qin Fang: "Do you know what Wu Shuai means?"
Han Zhen: "It's just like Tiedan Ludan. Is there any meaning in that?" Han Zhen is even more illiterate than Qin Fang.
Qin Fang's tone was a little proud: "Of course, Wu means black, Shuai means Grand Marshal, Wu Shuai is the Grand Marshal in horses."
Han Zhen heard it and said: "I know what to name my horse."
Qin Fang couldn't deny it: "Iron Egg?"
Han Zhen said: "It's Wu Jiang, these two horses are of the same breed, I won't compete with you for the marshal, I will compete for the general, Wu Jiang, how about it?"
Qin Fang: "Not so good." This guy is too shameless, Wu Shuai is the name his wife gave to the horse, how can Han Zhen apply it?
Han Zhen didn't mind, he said to Wu Jiang: "You will be Wu Jiang in the future, Wu Jiang, go, drive..."
"Drive..." Qin Fang also speeded up.
As soon as Qin Fang arrived at the military camp and rested for a while, General Ao sent someone to call him over. Qin Fang went to the prince's tent. In addition to the prince and General Ao, there was also a captain under General Ao. After a while, three more captains came, and the prince spoke: "The purpose of calling you here this time is because of the previous incident with the barbarians. The barbarians tried to threaten our military camp with despicable means last time, and wanted to take the opportunity to occupy Yongzhou. This time I decided to fight back. There are a total of 50,000 people in our Yongjun military camp. General Ao will lead 5,000 of you to ambush the barbarians, and the remaining 45,000 soldiers will interfere from the front..."
