In the spring and autumn period, "the son is born in March, and the father's name is called", but it will also change according to the specific situation, such as meeting a domineering and unreasonable grandfather like Zhao Ying...... What etiquette, what rules, have to give way to Zhao Qing's mood.

Zhao Ying glanced at the people in the hall: "Surname, surname, name, and character are all related to etiquette, and they cannot be ...... at will" He clicked on the scribe who held the pen and paper in the hall and said: "Zhou She, you have always been knowledgeable, and let's talk about it, what are the particulars of naming?" ”

Zhou She is over thirty years old, with a slender beard under his chin and an old-fashioned complexion, and he is a diner who has been recruited by the Zhao family in recent years. He likes to give direct advice, is a minister, and once stood under Zhao Ying's door for three days and three nights. Zhao Ying's envoy asked him why he was like this, and Zhou She said: "I would like to be a minister of the Emperor, so that I can always follow the lord with pen and ink and wooden scrolls, and write down the mistakes of the lord when I see them." If you keep a record every day and remind you to correct it, then you can get results every month. ”

Zhao Ying felt that with the great increase in the power of the Zhao family, there were more and more flattering people around him, but there were very few people like Zhou She who were outspoken, so he was very moved, and according to his talent, he made a family history around him.

As soon as Zhou She arched his hand, he said: "Since ancient times, there have been five ways to choose a name, there are faith, righteousness, imagery, falsehood, and kind. Naming a baby with what happened at birth is a letter, naming it with auspicious words is righteousness, naming it with simulacrum words is likeness, naming it with the name of something is false, and naming it with words related to the father is class. ”

Zhao Wuxian bowed slightly, what Zhou She said was reasonable, such as Confucius's name "Qiu". It was taken by his father according to the principle of "taking life as an image." After Confucius was born, it was found that the top of his head was special and concave. That is, the so-called "polder", so it is named "mound". After Confucius had a son. It just so happened that Lu Zhaogong gave him a carp, so he named his son "carp", which is based on the principle of "taking things from things is fake".

Zhao Ying asked again: "Then what's the taboo about naming?" ”

Zhou She replied: "You can't use your own name, you can't use your official name, you can't use the name of mountains and rivers, you can't use the name of disease, you can't use the name of livestock, and you can't use the name of utensils and gifts." ”

Therefore, the name of the Spring and Autumn Period must not be the same as the name of the country, and if the monarch uses the official name, the official name will be changed. For example, the Jin State abolished the official of Situ because of the official name of Jin Xi "Situ", and the Song State abolished the official of Situ because of the official name of Song Wu "Sikong".

Zhao Ying bowed his head, had a plan in his heart, and then named his daughter and two grandsons in anticipation.

His doting on his youngest daughter was revealed again, and he was the first to name her "Jia".

Everyone present was full of praise, the best, the good, it can be regarded as named with the word auspicious. It can be seen that Zhao Ying's preference for her.

In the pre-Qin era, aristocratic women were also famous, such as Zhao Wuxian's concubine Bo Mi, who was called Wei. And Ji Mi, the sister of the king of Chu, is called "Ji me".

Wuxian subconsciously glanced at Sister Ji Ying out of the corner of his eye, but it was a pity. Her maiden name, but she doesn't know.

It seems to have a heart. Ji Huan also glanced back at Zhao Wuxian, and smiled.

Shirtless retracts his gaze. sighed in his heart, although it was only a few feet apart, why did he feel like the end of the world?

……

"Hmph......" No one noticed the brief glance between the two siblings, but Han Ji looked at them.

She was very cautious in her relationship with Ji Ying in the early years, so she could spy on her mind, and when she saw it today, it was exactly what she expected. But she didn't break it, because there was no basis for what she said, if the two of them couldn't hold it back, they made the story of Qi Xianggong and Wen Jiang, and when the matter was revealed, then there would be a good show to watch! When Zhao Ying is furious, see what face Zhao Wuxian still has to compete with her husband for the position of the son!

After thinking about it, her attention returned to the center of the hall. In fact, today's naming ceremony, Han Ji has always felt unhappy, her husband was pressed by Zhao Wuxian in everything, her son is the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, he should have been held in the palm of his hand for fear of being cold, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth, but now he has to share the favor with the other two, and he was preempted by a baby girl when naming!

How unreasonable!

Fortunately, Zhao Ying then named the son of Bolu, and Han Ji's face looked a little better.

The son of Beru was named Zhao Zhou, Zhou, Miye, and the faithful were all thoughtful. This is "taking life as an elephant", because Xiao Zhao made people feel as honest as his father when he saw it on Monday, and when he was bullied by his aunt, he couldn't fight back, he cried and looked for his father and mother with tears in his eyes, so he had this name.

Regardless of whether he was dissatisfied, Beru pulled Han Ji down to thank him, grateful.

In the end, it was Zhao Wuxian's turn.

Ji Huan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at the sweat on Zhao Wuxian's forehead with interest, as well as the nervous hand of Bo Qi next to him into a fist. This woman has served by her side for a long time, and she was sent to Lu to serve her younger brother in life, and by the way, let him take care of it, don't contaminate the messy Song and Lu women, it can be seen that Bo Mi is doing a good job, and she is not pampered and arrogant, and when she sees Ji Huan, she is still like a mouse seeing a cat.

Xiao Xiao Zhao, who was lying on the bed, seemed to notice something after his two playmates of the same age were taken away, his big ignorant eyes were open, and his small mouth was slightly open, looking at his grandfather in a daze.

Zhao Ying loved the house and Wu, and felt more cordial to Xiao Zhao than to the son of Bolu, so he only put him to the end because of the family order. He stroked his beard and thought about it carefully, and finally had an idea, and wrote a word on the paper.

It seems to be a one-word name, not too much and not too little, Zhao Wuxian silently counted the shaking of Zhao Ying's wrist, there were a total of twelve paintings of that word.

Once the name was decided, it could not be changed, and this piece of paper was first passed to the family history Zhou She case and asked him to transcribe it. Zhou She glanced at it and bowed his head slightly, it seemed that this word did not violate the taboo principle of naming.

After that, the paper came to the hands of Zhao Luo and Zhao Bolu, who were older, and they were full of praise after watching it, saying that it was a good name.

Finally, the thin piece of paper reached Zhao Wuxian's hand.

At the first glance, Zhao Wuxian's heart was like 10,000 alpacas galloping by, and he scolded secretly:

"!"

……

After the naming ceremony, after Zhao Wuxian said goodbye to the Bolu family, he asked Bo Qi to take the child back in the car first. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ji Huan, who was dressed in red, standing behind him. A serene smile.

"Father's name is good,. Ethics also indicates that the gentleman has something to do and something not to do, and my sister is here to congratulate you. Ji Huan deliberately learned the appearance of a man and raised his coat to give a salute.

"Thank you, sister."

However, Zhao Wuxian couldn't say it, "Cao" was indeed a good word in the Spring and Autumn Period, but for him, a time-traveler more than 2,000 years later, his son's name "Zhao Cao" always felt very awkward. But this name was taken by Zhao Ying, what can he do to change it.

What Zhao Wuxian needs to think about now is. When choosing a character for a child in the future, should we call him "Mengde"?

Also, after having the eldest son and the second son in the future, should it be called "Bofu" and "Zhongmou"?

Thinking of this, Zhao Wuxian successfully amused himself, forget it, Zhao Cao will be Zhao Cao, just get used to it.

"What are you thinking? With a smile on his face? "Ji Ying is careful. Sensing Zhao Wuxian's expression.

"I couldn't help laughing at my son's name, which has always been the case since he was born. I hope my sister won't laugh. ”

Ji Ying was stunned, sighed and said, "You, be yourself." Cruel to the enemy, but only to the family. But it's as intimate as ever. ”

"But this state of mind, I'm afraid I can't feel the same way. Only when you become a mother in the future can you experience the taste. She looked at Bo Mi's distant back, as if she was a little envious.

Zhao Wuxian was confused by this sentence, and couldn't help asking: "When my sister was naming ceremony, I was still young and didn't remember anything, so I didn't know what my sister's name was?" ”

Ji Huan turned her pretty face sideways and showed a soft smile: "Wuxian, don't you know?" A woman's name cannot be said casually, except for the elders, who can only tell the future husband when they get married......"

……

Zhao Wuxian was silent, the topic stopped suddenly, and the sister and brother walked slowly in the Wenxian palace room so quietly, and they didn't talk much, it seemed that they couldn't talk about what was in their hearts, and it seemed that you knew me and didn't need to say more.

The peach blossoms are in full bloom in March, and when it comes to the place to enjoy the flowers, there are probably few places in the whole Nanyang land that can compare with the peach orchard on the bank of the big river in Wenxian County.

Legend has it that these ancient peach trees, intertwined with their roots, were planted hundreds of years ago by Daji of the Su clan...... Although this woman was considered by the Zhou people to be one of the reasons for the demise of Yin Shang, in the eyes of the locals of Wen County, she was an unfortunate woman, and now the heirs of the Su family still have the custom of offering peach blossoms to Daji.

It's just that with the situation of the Jin Kingdom now, I'm afraid there are not many people who have the heart to appreciate the flowers.

Walking in the peach forest, the peach blossoms, clusters, and clusters of peach blossoms bloom all over the branches. The peach blossoms are pink, crimson, and light purple, and they are even more vivid and delicate against the backdrop of verdant green leaves. Some have only unfolded two or three petals, and some petals have fully unfolded, with a hint of red stamens, with tender yellow tips, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Suddenly, a warm wind blew, blowing Ji Huan's black hair in the air, and Wuxian hurriedly stepped forward and protected her with his broad arms. The wind blew Zhao Wuxian's wolf skin into a hunting sound, and the two of them were so close that they could feel their breath and hear their heartbeats.

I don't know how long it took, when the wind was over, Wuxian looked down, but saw Ji Huan's face crimson, and her hair and shoulders were full of pale red peach blossoms.

He subconsciously stretched out his hand to brush off those petals for her one by one, and only after he finished doing it did he realize that Ji Huan was looking at him with a pretty face.

The two of them just stood dumbfounded.

After a long time, Ji Huan pushed him away from his side, covered his mouth and laughed: "Wuxian, you are still the same as when you were young, you must know what you want to know, if you don't tell you, you will be depressed, or not, I will tell you my name." ”

This was a surprise, but she saw Ji Huan close her eyes, open her arms and turn around in place, her deep clothes fluttering, like a colorful butterfly dancing on a flower, she sniffed the fragrance of peach blossoms around her and said: "Poetry, the peach is dying, scorching its bloom." The son is home, and it is appropriate for his family...... My name is one of them. ”

Zhao Wuxian knew that Ji Huan's birthday was the end of March, which was the season when the flowers were in full bloom, and it could be regarded as a name.

Under the flourishing peach tree, the girl in red walked over, she stood on tiptoe gently, attached to Zhao Wuxian's ear, and softly told him the secret that she could only tell her husband: "Wuxian, you remember, my maiden name is called, Yao." ”

……

After the early spring rain, the wedding date is getting closer and closer, so Zhao Wuxian is very busy, he wears the knight, the tie clothes, the reeling clothes, and the tie belt, and is instructed by the Zhao family's etiquette to drill the ceremony all day long.

Although Le Lingzi was born in a famous family, he was not exempt from vulgarity, and he had to practice in another place, and when the Jin Kingdom and even foreign guests came to watch the ceremony, if the procedure was done wrong, Zhao and Le's faces would have nowhere to go.

But on the evening of the second day, Zhao Ying sent Yang Yin, a minister, to call him over.

Yang Yin is nearly forty years old, with a white face and a short beard, and he knows that he is a smart person when he looks at those eyes.

He is also a strange person, originally from Yangyi, a guy who is in the twilight and has no ambition: in his hometown, he was expelled three times; The lord was degraded five times - and later heard that the Zhao family was recruiting, so he came to Zhao Ying.

Zhao Wuxian heard that Zhao Ying was dining at the time, and as soon as he heard about Yang Yin's resume, he sighed as if he had obtained a treasure, and he was about to go out to greet him.

His left and right ministers said: "I was expelled by the villagers three times, which shows that this Yang is not allowed to be felt; Five times he turned away from the monarch, indicating that he was not a loyal servant. Why did the lord respect him so much? ”

Zhao Ying explained: "You don't know that all beautiful women will definitely be hated by ugly women; The people of Shengde will definitely be alienated by the troubled times; The upright will be hated by the wicked. Yang Yin was expelled by the villagers because his talents were not allowed by the public, and he turned away from the lord five times because they could not reuse it, didn't this make the sword dust? ”

After that, he went out to welcome Yang Yin and treated him as a guest, this Yang Yin also thanked him for the grace of knowing the encounter, followed Zhao Ying, and took care of the affairs of the huge Zhao family in an orderly manner for him.

In terms of using talents in an eclectic manner, Zhao Wuxian also admired his father, just like Confucius said: "All evils must be investigated; All that is good will be examined. "Whether a person is liked or disliked by the people around him is not necessarily a criterion for judging his quality and ability.

In short, whether it is a mule or a horse, you still have to pull it out for a walk.

Therefore, Zhao Wuxian still had some courtesy to this Yang Yin, and after meeting him, he found out that there were guests arriving, and Zhao Ying called him to meet him.

Wuxian couldn't help but wonder, what kind of person could be so valued by Zhao Ying?

Yang Yin was as respectful to Zhao Wuxian as he was to Zhao Ying, and he whispered: "It's the head of the Handan clan, Zhao Wu is here!" ”

Zhao Wuxian suddenly became serious, and hurriedly walked to the temple of Wen County, thinking about the Handan clan.

The Handan clan is a small sect of the Zhao clan, and a descendant of Zhao Chuan, who helped Zhao Xuanzi kill the Linggong of Jin in Taoyuan a hundred years ago. They escaped in the difficulty of the lower palace, and now the heirs are vigorous, sitting on Handan, Hanshi, Qianhou, Xiyang four ten thousand counties, with a population of more than 200,000 people, tens of thousands of people, in addition to the six secretaries of the Jin State, the strength of the Handan clan is the strongest!

In the early years, when Handan was still loyal to the Zhao family, the Zhao family was prosperous, but once the blood relationship was weak, after Handan began to take refuge in Fan and Bank of China, the Zhao family was like a broken arm in the east of Taihang.

Zhao Wuxian had a holiday with Handanji, the son of the Handan clan, in order to subdue this unruly small sect, he and Zhao Ying thought of many means, and after taking advantage of the great victory in the war of alignment, and successfully recovering the patriarchal jurisdiction over Handan from the Marquis of Jin, Zhao Ying has been forcing Handan to attack and defend, so that the two weaken each other. In this way, the soldiers of the Handan clan were exhausted, thus reducing their strength.

This method is obviously effective, as soon as Zhao Wuxian entered the palace gate, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a tie robe and wearing a doctor's crown prostrate on the ground, bowing to Zhao Yingji, and said loudly: "Handan dares not only to obey the order of the great sect?" My brother is willing to give up the 500 craftsmen who were plundered from Weiguo last year to my brother, so let them move to Jinyang! ”
