Chapter 45: Choosing a Name

What is a name to a person?

"Well, have you figured it out?" Ximenqing took the tea bowl and tasted it carefully, not caring.

"Hmm...... I, I want to ......" Sheng Xiao thought of a good word, but he couldn't say it, he was hesitant, not because he didn't know how to say it, but because he didn't dare to say it.

"If you don't think about it, think about it, think about it and then talk about it" Ximenqing is already very tired after a day of arguing with those shopkeepers, although he is the master of the big boss, but those shopkeepers are not vegetarians, and persuasion can also be said to be to surrender those shopkeepers, but it took Ximenqing a lot of thought.

"I, I want to be the only hostess in the house" Sheng Xiao said very quickly, and after finishing speaking, he knelt on the ground with a "poof", lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Ximenqing.

Ximenqing's hand holding the tea bowl immediately paused, without the graceful and leisurely look just now, his brows furrowed slightly, his eyes looked at the sheng flute kneeling on the ground, and put down the tea bowl after a while.

"Oh, yes, then it's up to you" There was no anger in the words, more silence, isn't it crazy to let Lord Simon marry only one lady.

"Master, did you agree?" Sheng Xiao raised his head with some joy and looked up at Ximen Qing who was sitting there.

"Hehe, promise, why don't you agree? It's just up to you" After speaking, Ximenqing continued to pick up the tea bowl and slowly tasted it, but he was not happy in his heart, the maid in front of him was not careful, and became the only hostess in Ximen's mansion?

"Master, you really agreed, then, when will you marry me?" In the second half of the sentence, the little girl was still quite shy to say it.

Ximen Qinggang took a sip of tea, and then when he heard the little girl's words, he almost squirted out, and swallowed it vigorously, the master has to have the majesty of the master.

"After a while, I'll talk about it when I'm done"

"I'm tired, you go out first" Ximen Qing is really tired, he wants to rest and rest, and he doesn't want to see this little girl at this moment.

"So, sir, okay......"

…………

It was already evening when Ju'an returned to the broken temple, and Ju'an, who had regained his self-confidence, was full of hope for his future life. When he returned to the broken temple, he faced a problem, where to find dinner, tomorrow's meal has fallen but tonight's is not, he can rely on excitement to support not feel hungry, but the six little guys who ate two buns at noon are hungry, and when they are hungry, they want to eat, and if they want to eat, they have to find a way.

"Ah Da, Ah Er...... Little Liu, can I discuss something with you?"

"It's okay, Brother Jue'an, you can say anything" Ah Da stopped frolicking and waited for Jue'an to speak.

"I just want to say, can you skip eating tonight?" Ju An was a little ashamed to say, but Ju An really didn't want to beg, and the confidence he had just regained couldn't be ruined by a little bit of food.

"I, I promise that from tomorrow onwards you will all be able to eat and eat delicious, I will hold the pillow, I will ......" Ju An was afraid that the six little ones would not agree, so he hurriedly added.

"Brother Jue'an, this ......" Ah San wanted to say something, but Ah Da dragged him over, and then the two of them whispered on the side, and the other four watched from the sidelines.

"Brother Jue'an, we're not hungry, it's okay if we don't eat...... Ah Da said with a grin, and then took the other people to play.

"Thank you, what I said is true, trust me" Juan still felt a little sorry for the six little guys.

"Brother Ju'an, we have always believed in your ......" It was Ah Da who always answered Ju'an.

Then in the broken temple, Juan leaned against the wall and watched, the six little guys chased and frolicked in the open space, a scene of joy, unconsciously a smile climbed up the corner of Ju'an's mouth and then grinned out loud, and then Juan also joined the frolic.

After playing for a while, they were tired, and the seven of them leaned against the wall panting, but the sudden silence in the broken temple made Juan a little uncomfortable. "Goo" sounded, and then it was like an infection...... Mutter...... ...... grunt" a few times.

"Shall I give you a name?"

"Yes, yes"

"Tell me, what name do you want?"

"Brother Ju'an, I haven't thought about it yet, anyway, I want to have the same surname as Brother Ju'an" Ah Da is actually a little naïve, but he is very sensible when he is older.

"Well, the surname is Hawkish, I want to think about it"

"Then let's call it Tortoise."

"Well, it's Juchen, I'll have a name in the future, my name is Juchen" Ah Da showed off to a few other friends, his face full of excitement.

"Brother Ju'an, I want it too, I want it too......" In addition to Ah Da Juchen, the other gossips all want to have a name.

"Ah Er, what about you?"

"I,I don't know ......" Ah Er belongs to the kind of person who is very introverted, hardly talks much, and is quite timid.

"Then your name is Ju Yu, okay?"

"Uh-huh" Ah Er didn't show off, just whispered "Yu Yu...... Yu Yu ......"

…………

Seven names were given, Juan was already racking his brains, and it took more than an hour to think of it, and the six little beggars all had their own names and surnames.

"Look, this is Hawk Chen, this is Hawk Yu, this is Hawk Luo...... Tortoiseshell, Tortoiseshell, Tortoiseshell, "Juan wrote everyone's name on the ground with a stick, and the little ones were serious on the side, and kept chanting their names in their mouths, whenever Juan read whose name, that person would be excited and grinning.

"Brother Ju'an, what do you mean by the name you gave me?" Ah Da Juchen suddenly asked, this name is too important to him, with a name, he is no longer a brother's child, he has a name, his name is Juchen.

"Well, I just hope that you can all be as valuable as the most expensive jade, as shining as ......" Juan really didn't know what to say, thinking of jade Juan thought that expensive is valuable, so he said so.

"Well, like jade"

"Well, it's like jade"

"Just as good-looking, just as valuable......"

…………

The seven of them chatted late on the topic of names, and gradually the youngest of them began to blink her eyes incessantly, and then fell asleep against the wall. Juan was also a little sleepy, and after the atmosphere gradually quieted down, he couldn't hold it anymore, and after settling a few little guys who were still in an excited state and refused to fall asleep, he also leaned against the wall and fell asleep.

Only Ah Da lay on the "grass bed", sobbing quietly with tears in his eyes.

"Mom, do you hear me? I have a name, my name is ...... Chen."
