Chapter 103 Asking for the Name
Next, it’s about asking for your name.
Zhu Huaizhen originally didn't want to bother.
She was living a carefree life in Liuting Tower.
In the morning, after a late sleep, she woke up to the sun. Then, she had her favorite white porridge with pepper mushrooms, spicy beef, and broth. It was perfect.
Ahem, there is a little episode here.
Zhao Lian'er didn't know what kind of advice she had given to Chen Ming'an, but Chen Ming'an actually came over and told her, Zhu Huaizhen, that she was no longer Princess Ronghua, but Zhu's concubine, and that she had to be frugal and not have more than three dishes per meal.
Zhu Huaizhen didn't want to listen to Chen Mingan's nonsense and scratched her ears. As a result, Chen Mingan compared her with Zhao Lian'er, saying that Zhao Lian'er understood the suffering of the people very well and mostly ate vegetarian dishes for three meals a day.
Damn, with the way Zhao Lian'er eats, her life will be at least ten years shorter. No wonder she feels like fainting all the time.
Of course, Zhu Huaizhen rolled his eyes at the time and was too lazy to argue.
Zhu Huaizhen knew too well that Chen Mingan was a man of his word.
If she resisted, Chen Mingan could reduce her dishes to one plate.
Then it will be a disaster. You will have to eat chicken legs secretly.
After breakfast, we walked around Liuting Tower a few times and then started to listen to opera.
Yes, Chen Ming'an still had some conscience and left the troupe to her, but only allowed her to select one play per day. Chen Ming'an suggested that she listen to it in the afternoon, as the afternoon was longer.
However, Zhu Huaizhen is very smart.
Who knows, if Chen Mingan changes his mind one day, she won’t be able to attend the opera anymore.
Orioles chirp at dawn in the jade trees of Jinling, flowers bloom early in the Qinhuai waterside pavilions. Who knew the ice would melt so easily? I watched him build his red mansion, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his mansion collapse. Here, amidst the mossy, blue tiles, I once slept in a dreamlike state; I've witnessed fifty years of rise and fall. No one in Wuyi Lane is surnamed Wang, ghosts cry at Mochou Lake, and owls roost on Phoenix Terrace. Dreams of the ruined mountains are the most real, the old land hard to lose. I don't believe this map is changing manuscripts. I'll compose a lament for Jiangnan, and sing it until I grow old.
I'd rather listen to "Peach Blossom Fan". It goes in one ear and out the other. It's pretty good.
"Tu Mi, that actress who sings Qingyi, has fair skin and a face as red as peach. She is more beautiful than A Li." Zhu Huaizhen held his rosy cheeks, smiled and his eyes moved.
As a result, this news reached Chen Mingan's ears, and Chen Mingan stopped the opera.
Hey, Chen Mingan is so busy, it must be Zhao Lianer who complained.
So, when the ceremony of asking his name came, Zhu Huaizhen came uninvited.
"You have made progress." Chen Mingan snorted coldly.
When it comes to naming, the birth dates of Chen Ming'an and Zhao Lian'er are compared to see if they are auspicious or inauspicious. This is usually a good omen, unless the money given by the host family is too little. As the saying goes, a poor couple suffers from many sorrows.
Therefore, Zhu Huaizhen instructed Tu Mi to intercept the fortune teller in advance and give him a bag of golden melon seeds.
Tu Mi asked the fortune teller to first predict a very bad omen, then a slightly bad omen, and finally a very good omen.
Humph, she, Zhu Huaizhen, would also snort coldly, wanting this questioning to make Zhao Lian'er uncomfortable.
Sure enough, the fortune teller would do his job if he received money.
The path is steep and rugged, the moon is obscured by clouds and the sky is dim. I want to ask what's in my heart, but I'm afraid my destiny is not yet clear. This is a very bad omen.
During drought, the fields are all withered. Thank goodness for the rain. Flowers, fruits, and plants are all moistened. Only then do we realize that a rain is worth a thousand gold. This is a sign of minor misfortune.
Marriage is destined to bring joy, and they have been together for thousands of years. After the couple's greetings, they will have a long and prosperous marriage. This is a very auspicious sign.
"Oh, Zhao Lian'er, your marriage with Chen Ming'an is not very good." Zhu Huaizhen pretended to yawn.
