Chapter 142: Different Customs, Request for Permission
According to the rules of the Lantai family, when naming a newborn, the name is taken with overlapping words. As for which word it is, it depends on the wishes of the parents. The name of the newborn is full of all the good wishes of the parents and relatives, but there is another way to choose the name, which is to take the name of the ancestor.
Exactly like the name of the ancestors, it is not disrespectful here in the Lantai clan, on the contrary, for those whose names can be reused by future generations, this is an honor, a kind of inheritance, and it is also an alternative rebirth. In its name, it reappears in another young life.
Moreover, not all the names of the ancestors will be favored by future generations, only those who are famous in the history of the Shantai clan and have made great contributions are qualified, and they will be admired by future generations, so that they expect their children to be like a certain ancestor, what kind of great things to do, therefore, this way of naming has always been highly respected in the Shantai clan.
Of course, there is also some meaning of asking the ancestors to bless the newborn.
However, this matter is highly respected, but in fact, in the history of the Lantai clan, it is not common, and not every newborn can have this qualification to take the name of the ancestor.
Everything depends on the prophecy of the great shaman of the clan to bless the newborn after surgery. Every time a newborn can get the words of the great witch official and take the name of the ancestor, it will definitely be a figure that can benefit the Lantai family.
The great sorcerer of the Shantai clan is similar to a celestial master, but he is not a celestial master, and he has many and wide abilities, including prophecy, blessing, witchcraft, and so on. Some of the Great Wizard's abilities have similar effects to those of the Celestial Master, but there are differences. For example, prophecy, she can know all the future, but she can't change anything, and even the content of the prophecy is relatively vague, and the future she sees is uncertain, only when it comes to the future of her own clan, the Tantai clan, is it clear and accurate.
The Great Witch Officer, in the Lantai clan, is similar to the deputy patriarch, and his status is almost equal to that of the patriarch. It's just that the great witch officials are only passed down from generation to generation in one person, and most of them are recluses, so although the great witch officials of the past dynasties are the most important figures in the Shantai clan, they will hardly interfere in the daily affairs of the Shantai clan unless there is a major event, just a blessing to the newborn of the Shantai clan, look at the future, and then the clansman has a disease and help treat it.
Therefore, from the judgment of the Great Wizard, no one in the clan will have any objections.
Just like Shantai Kangkang and Shantai Pingping, when they were born, they had already been predicted by the great witch officer about the future of the two daughters, which was the hope of the Shantai clan and would become the king's figures.
Tai Kangkang, the destined king of the future Tantai clan, will bring the Tantai clan back to the Supreme Son of Heaven, so that his clan will become a prominent royal family again.
The Tai clan is the forerunner, the fateful one who found the Supreme Son of Heaven, the faithful and reliable king, but he no longer belongs to the Tai clan.
Although I don't quite understand the Great Witch Official's prophecy about the Tai Pingping, why he no longer belongs to the Tai clan, but it is just a few prophecies, which is enough for the Tai Chacha to value the two.
The names of the two are naturally in accordance with the customs of the Shantai clan, they are all overlapping words, and because the great witch official's prophecy for the two of them is extraordinary, therefore, the two daughters are very valued by the two sons of the two children named by themselves, or in accordance with the rules of taking the names of the ancestors.
It's just that this time, the names of these two children were not taken from any of the ancestors of the Tai, but from the Tianyu Dynasty's Kangping Tainu's promise to the Taitai Chacha, and she took the title of Her Royal Highness.
Kangkang, Pingping, taken together, is actually the "Kangping" of Mrs. Kangping.
In the mind of Tantai Chacha, she has always been reluctant to admit the death of Her Royal Highness, so she has always called her a title, not her nickname.
Of course, what Her Royal Highness promised her back then was only a title.
With the permission of Her Royal Highness the Empress Dowager, Tantai Chacha has always kept this matter in his heart, but he has never easily given the clansman the title An Mingyu once had, but it was not until the two sisters who were prophesied that they were born, and they looked forward to the blessing of the Empress Kangping, hoping that after the second daughter got this name, the Supreme Son of Heaven who followed was His Royal Highness who had returned, and named the two of them.
Whenever he thought of this incident, he was like an ordinary old man, he liked to nag, and he had to repeat it to the two sisters every time: "Kang'er, Ping'er, you must be worthy of your name, that is the name given by His Royal Highness, her noble title, and it cannot be given if it is not the future pillar of my Tantai clan. The two of you will be the ones who will lead our clan to become king again in the future, especially you, Kang'er, don't let Taizu and Grandma me down!"
At the same time, she will also recall the bits and pieces she used to get along with Her Royal Highness, and Her Royal Highness once promised this matter.
"Your Highness, can I let my descendants take the words in your name?" At that time, she suddenly had such a thought, and she had the courage to ask His Highness, but she would inevitably still have some apprehension in her heart.
Because in the customs of the dynasty, the name of the ancestor must not be desecrated, even lifting the word. When such a thing happens, it will be seen as disrespectful to the ancestors. And Her Royal Highness, who is a royal family, her name is even more noble. If one day she becomes the emperor and ascends the throne, all words with the same name as her must be avoided and cannot be used again.
It is conceivable how disrespectful her request would be in the eyes of the people of the dynasty, and the great eunuchs present at that time had already glared at her.
However, at that time, Her Royal Highness was not unhappy, let alone angry, and reprimanded her, but smiled faintly and asked her curiously: "Why do you want to use the words in the name of the orphan?" Is there something special about it? ”
"Weichen definitely does not mean to be disrespectful to you, but in the customs of the Lantai clan, it will be an honor to be able to obtain the name of the ancestors in the name, and it will be an honor to be protected by the ancestors, and at the same time, the ancestors will also feel honored, and only extraordinary people will have descendants who want to give her name. And you, in the minds of the ministers, are like this. There will be one of your descendants who will be protected by you, who will be as wise and wise as you. ”
"Oh, as you say, it would indeed be a lonely honor." Her Royal Highness's smile was so kind, I saw Her Highness nodded, and without saying much, she agreed to her request, but she still compromised on this request, "Then take the words in the lonely title." ”
Her Royal Highness has always done things like this, and she has never been prejudiced against people and made conclusions at will. She is always like that, she always listens to the reason before making the most appropriate decision.
After all, in the Imperial Dynasty, the name of the ancestor was very disagreeable, so she did not fully agree to her request, but she still took into account her request and wishes, made appropriate adjustments, and gave her title.
This made Tantai Chacha feel a kind of respect from her again, and experienced a sense of comfort that he would never be looked at differently.
