Chapter Twenty-Seven: Soo's Arrival, Choosing a Name for the Son
On the official road leading to Bianjing in Yan'an, sparsely populated, a team of 300 elite border cavalry, dressed in iron armor, armed with spears, broadswords, bows and crossbows, carefully guarding a carriage, going from south to north. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info full\本\小\say\net
"My lord! Who is that ugly girl with golden eyes in the carriage! actually let us, the most elite of the Great Song Dynasty, escort her to Bianjing! At the front of the team, a tall young soldier asked with a smile at a middle-aged man dressed as a general.
"Don't talk nonsense, the one in the carriage, but the concubine of Yuanhao of Western Xia, I heard that the princess of a small European country is a dead country, and her status is noble! But to be honest, this princess is really ugly! The general turned his head to look at the carriage and said with a playful smile to the soldiers beside him.
If you let Sophia in the carriage hear these words, she must be mad, you must know that Sophia is a famous beauty in Europe, but after arriving in Asia, she is treated like a monster, and the understanding of beauty by different nationalities is very different!
"How could the imperial court take in such a woman, you must know that this woman will bring military disasters to the Great Song Dynasty, Yuanhao of Western Xia is a guy who must be repaid, the year before last because of a Sunuer, he sent troops to Gyeongju, and now that the imperial court has taken in this woman, Yuan Hao is still not playing with the Great Song Dynasty!" The young soldier complained and said to the general.
"Don't talk nonsense, how can we guess about the affairs of the imperial court, but Xixia Yuanhao! I'm afraid that at this time, he will arrest all his wives, and he will not dare to use troops against the Great Song Dynasty. Don't forget that he has just been defeated in the Western Expedition, losing more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and now the vitality of Western Xia is greatly injured, and at this time, he dares to make a move with the Great Song Dynasty! The general explained to the people around him with a sneer.
"That's right, in that case, why did the imperial court want so many of us to escort this woman to the Jingzhao Mansion Station?" The young man scratched his head. He asked puzzled.
"I heard that Western Xia Yuanhao was very unwilling, but he didn't dare to directly fight with the Great Song Dynasty, so he sent a small team of killers to chase and kill the woman in the carriage, and our duty is to escort that woman to Jingzhao Mansion and hand it over to Lord Han Qihan, the deputy envoy of the new army who is changing guards." The general said to the young strong man.
"Master Han Qi of the new army training envoy!" When the young soldier heard this name, his eyes lit up, and he drove his horse close to the middle-aged general, and asked in a low voice eagerly: "Dad!" I heard that the salary of the new army is five times that of other armies, and the new soldiers and soldiers are equipped with the latest weapons of the Great Song Dynasty, and the treatment is even more enviable. Dad, do you have a relationship with Lord Han, can you arrange me to go to the new army. ”
With his son's longing eyes, the middle-aged general sighed and said: "It's impossible, the high treatment of the new army is known to the entire Great Song Dynasty, and countless generals and soldiers have sharpened their heads and want to enter the new army." But they were all rejected by Zhao Lei and Lord Zhao, and Lord Han also invited his father to serve as the commander of the infantry in the new army, but he thought about his father that the commander of the infantry of the new army was only from the official position of the seventh grade, and the father was the military attache of the seventh grade, and the new army was not demoted by one level. So I shirked it, and now it's too late to regret it. ”
"General! This is also too unfair, our soldiers on the three sides are working hard. On the contrary, he is so much lower than those guys of the new army who have never been on the battlefield, don't the other armies have an opinion! A personal soldier beside the general complained with an uneven face.
"Fair! For you veterans, General Ben thinks it's fair, you must know that those non-commissioned soldiers of the new army have to train for five hours a day, and you veterans are basically no longer trained now, even the recruits we recruit rarely train for so long. Although the new army has not been on the battlefield, once it appears on the battlefield, it will definitely be the most dangerous place, and the general will think it is very fair at that time! After snorting coldly, the general stopped the others from continuing to ask, and walked vigilantly on the official road with the three hundred soldiers around him.
The three hundred border troops escorted Sophia, the concubine of Yuanhao who fled from Western Xia, cautiously came all the way to the post station outside Jingzhao Mansion, and after handing over Sophia to Han Qi, who came from the change of guard, he immediately returned to the frontier.
Han Qi, who handed over the task of repairing the canal to Yang Zun, led 5,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and returned to Bianjing with Sophia, who was trembling and frightened along the way.
……
Just when Han Qi came to Bianjing with Sophia, the princess of Europe and Concubine Yuanhao, Zhao Lei was having a headache in the Zhao Mansion, and this matter was the issue of Zhao Lei's child's name.
Wang Su, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, and Zhao Lei's three erudite friends all gathered in Zhao's study to discuss the naming of Zhao Lei's child, while Tian Lan, Bai Xinlan and Xiaocui, holding four cute babies crying, sat gently to take care of their son.
Tian Lan is holding a son and a daughter at his hand, one of which is the daughter of Shengguo, but it is claimed to the outside world that Tian Lan gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, after all, the matter of Shengguo and Zhao Lei belongs to the top secret of the Zhao Mansion, and they dare not spread it at all, so the daughter of Shengguo can only be handed over to Tian Lan to raise, and when there is a chance, find a reason to give it to Shengguo.
In the hearts of all people in the Great Song Dynasty, the name is a means to affect fate, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and it inherits people's feelings, intentions and aspirations, contains people's essence, qi and spirit, and conveys the mystery of heaven and earth, so the Song people attach great importance to the name, and the words of the generations are also spread from the Song Dynasty. And the five sons of the Lu family, a low-key famous family in Bianjing, are all named after the public, showing their seniority.
It is precisely because the name is so important that Zhao Lei has no research in this aspect, so he invited Wang Su, Ouyang Xiu and Su Xun to help their children choose a good name with their experience and wisdom.
"It is the responsibility of the elders to name their sons, but the thirty brothers are lonely and have no relatives, so we brothers should not let it go." Wang Su heard Zhao Lei's request, and said to Ouyang Xiu and Su Xun with a smile.
"Not bad! The name is related to the number of 100 years, so be cautious! Su Xun also nodded in agreement with Zhao Lei's cautious approach and said.
"What's there to think of with that name! The elders of the three stones have already thought about it, look at the name of the three stones, the name Lei is three stones, six stone characters, the stone characters belong to the soil, it seems that the elders of the three stones are using the soil to help the fortune of the three stones! Since the name of the three stones belongs to the earth, it is obvious that the Zhao family is famous for the five elements, the five elements are reincarnated, and the earth is followed by gold, so these children can just take gold as the word. Ouyang Xiu pondered for a while, and immediately took Zhao Lei's name to make a name, and said loudly to Zhao Lei, Wang Su and Su Xun.
"No! The word gold, full of copper smell, the house of knowledge is reluctant to use it as a name, if it is changed to the gold word, take a single name is good! Su Xun immediately waved his hand against Ouyang Xiu's words and said.
"There aren't many names to choose from!" Wang Su pondered for a while, shook his head and said.
"Haha! Brother Zhongyi laughed, although there are not many words next to the golden characters, there are always hundreds of words, so many words are enough for Brother Sanshi to choose, is Brother Zhongyi still afraid that Sanshi's children are over hundreds! Hearing Wang Su's words, Ouyang Xiu laughed and said.
"That's right! By the way, Brother Sanshi, your three sons and one daughter were born at the same time, who is the big and who is the youngest! After Wang Su finished speaking to Ouyang Xiu with a smile, he turned his head to Zhao Lei and asked seriously.
If Wang Su's question is placed in the Tang Dynasty, it will definitely make Zhao Lei's head as big as a fight, because the Tang Dynasty implemented the primogeniture inheritance law, and the family's foundation is inherited by the eldest son, so Li Jiancheng became the crown prince and Li Shimin rebelled, and the Song Dynasty was a designated inheritance law, that is to say, the previous controller will appoint a successor, and the inheritor does not need to be the eldest son to inherit the family property, and the Northern Song Dynasty emperor did not have a family business inherited by the eldest son, so Zhao Lei did not need to worry about this at all.
"Xiao Cui!" Zhao Lei beckoned Xiao Cui, who was holding his son, took the baby in swaddling clothes, and said to Wang Su, Ouyang Xiu and Su Xun: "This is the eldest son, the first born child!" ”
Wang Su, Ouyang Xiu and Su Xun all looked at the baby in Zhao Lei's arms at this time, and Zhao Lei, the eldest son who was born at the earliest, was not afraid of people at all, looking at the three heads leaning over, smiling and waving his little white hands, he actually wanted to grab Wang Su's long beard.
"What a son of the Zhao family, not afraid of people, full of courage, I think this son might as well be named Feng!" Wang Su looked at the cute baby who grabbed his beard, sighed in admiration, and said to Zhao Lei, Ouyang Xiu and Su Xun.
"Zhao Feng! Nice name! Son, from today onwards, your name will be Zhao Feng. When Zhao Lei heard the name Zhao Feng, he felt very good, and immediately coaxed the baby in his arms and said.
When the baby heard Zhao Lei's name, he giggled happily, which made Zhao Lei and others think that the name Zhao Feng was the most appropriate for the baby's character.
Then Zhao Lei hugged Bai Xinlan's second son in front of the three of them, who knew that this baby saw Wang Su and the three of them, crying like a surging river, endlessly, Ouyang Xiu immediately named the child Zhao Zhong, which means that the reputation is loud.
And Tian Lan and Zhao Lei's son, who is well-behaved and cute, was named Zhao Yu by Su Xun, which means the treasure of the Zhao family, and the daughter of Tian Lan in name, the biological daughter of the actual rise to the country, was named Jin by Wang Su, which means that she will be as beautiful as a flower when she grows up.
After choosing a suitable name for his children, Zhao Lei left Wang Su, Ouyang Xiu, and Su Xun to have a good drink, and at this moment, a palace attendant came to Zhao's mansion to announce that Zhao Lei entered the palace to see the driver, but it turned out that Sophia had already come to Bianjing.
