Chapter 27: The birth of Lin's son Guo Fu as a mother; to celebrate the birth, all the relatives gave her a good name
It was mentioned in the last chapter that after Kublai Khan withdrew his troops and returned to Mobei, he relied on the power of Han advisers to obtain the throne of Khan, changed the ancestral system, and implemented centralized power according to the Han system.
Not to mention that the Mongolian regime was lively and lively, the politics were clear and clear, and everything was prosperous.
Last time it was said that Taoist Baishu wanted to occupy Shuanglong Temple in Wudang Mountain, but was subdued by monk Zhang Junbao. Zhang Junbao temporarily stayed in Wudang Mountain to prepare for the rescue of Xiangyang City.
Who would have thought that Zhang Junbao's decision to stay temporarily would actually allow him to stay here for the rest of his life, and China would also give birth to Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Tai Chi and the founder of Tai Chi, a Wudang master who shocked the past and the present. This is something to talk about later, let’s not mention it for now.
It is said that after Guo Jing and others recovered Xiangyang City, they assisted Lu Wenhuan in guarding Xiangyang City. Guo Jing also asked Yeluqi to dispatch the heroes of the Beggar Clan to the prefectures and counties near Xiangyang City to help defend the city, creating a situation where the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty jointly fought against the Mongolian army.
Yeluqi has been very busy these days. It turns out that Yeluqi's wife Guo Fu has given birth. Although there are servants and maids taking care of her, Miss Guo has a very bad temper. She loses her temper and throws things at every turn. Even Huang Rong, who is full of ingenuity, is helpless with this precious daughter, so she has to sacrifice the tea sets and other utensils and porcelain at home. Product, let her vent her anger. Later, seeing that Guo Fu had an alarmingly hot temper, she had no choice but to ask Yeluqi to accompany him every step of the way. With Yeluqi's company, Guo Fu's temper became a little calmer. However, the leader of the Beggar Clan, the largest gang in the world, had a complicated affairs, so he had no choice but to suggest that Yeluqi set up a deputy leader to help handle the affairs within the gang. Finally, after careful consideration, Chen Chen, an elder from Jiubao who had repeatedly made military exploits and was highly skilled in martial arts, was selected as the deputy gang leader. This Chen Chen had military exploits for rescuing the old gang leader's daughter Guo Xiang in officialdom, burning the Mongolian army, and recovering Xiangyang City. Huang Rong did not treat Chen Chen badly and asked Guo Jing to teach him the three moves of "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms".
While Yeluqi was waiting by his wife's side day and night, he received a personal letter sent by Kublai Khan, the Great Khan of Mongolia.
It turns out that when Yelu Qi's father Yelu Chucai was fleeing trouble in the south of the Yangtze River, he saw that after the Mongols occupied the Central Plains, they did not engage in farming and mulberry production, but instead scrambled to enclose land for raising horses. As a result, large areas of fertile land were barren, and the people were displaced and starved of food. . Yelu Chucai was very distressed after reading it, so he gathered his disciples to compile a "Nongsang Ji Yao". After this book was compiled, there was no chance to present it to the Mongolian Khan until Yelu Chucai died. The book was then presented to the Mongolian noble Kublai Khan. Kublai Khan was busy with the war at the time and had no time to take a closer look. After he was appointed as the Great Khan, he discovered that Yelu Chucai had been buried. He remembered that Yelu Chucai still had a son and a daughter left in the south, and he was eager to recruit him with a letter and entrust him with important tasks, hoping that Yelu Chucai would return to Mongolia to serve.
When Yeluqi saw the letter, he became furious and said:
"Back then, my father and eldest brother were loyal and devoted to the prosperity of Mongolia. They did their best to assist Genghis Khan and Ogedei to pacify the four sides, and they made outstanding achievements. Who would have expected that they would believe the slander and be innocently executed. Now you want me to make the same mistake again?"
Huang Rong also said:
"This is a trick used by the Mongols. They want to separate the forces in Xiangyang City, and then defeat them separately, killing me! Qi'er must not be gullible."
Yeluqi said bitterly:
"Qi'er and Kublai Khan have a sworn hatred, and will never be easily fooled into believing his false favors!"
Guo Jing said with a stern face:
"Speaking of this matter, you can't blame Kublai Khan. The culprit who sent your father to death did not have a good result later. It is better to dissolve enemies than to make enemies. Don't continue the seeds of hatred to the next generation. "
When Yeluqi heard this, he couldn't help but be silent.
Guo Fu saw her husband showing a rare anger. For a moment, she didn't know how to relieve herself. She felt angry and anxious, and she didn't realize she was pregnant. He only felt pain in his abdomen, so he let Yeluqi support him and lay on the bed. When Yeluqi saw Guo Fu's face bursting with sweat from the pain, he was immediately in a panic and was helpless, so he hurriedly asked Huang Rong for instructions. When Huang Rong saw it, she was secretly amused. She thought that these young people were young and ignorant, and their wives were about to give birth.
After a while, a middle-aged woman, accompanied by a maid, hurried over. This middle-aged woman was dressed voluptuously and swayed as she walked, holding a silk scarf in her right hand and a basket in her left hand, which contained scissors, gauze, and red-headed rope. Huang Rong saw this woman and said with a smile on her face:
"Auntie, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are getting younger and younger. I have to rely on you today."
The Wen Po became even happier when she heard Huang Rong speak like this. She twisted her waist and said in a tone of voice:
"Mrs. Guo, don't worry, I have never failed in my hands."
Huang Rong laughed along with her and led her into Guo Fu's boudoir, telling Guo Jing and Yeluqi to avoid her.
Yeluqi glanced at Guo Fu, who was clutching the sheets with both hands and in great pain, and walked out of the room anxiously. Guo Fu's heart-rending cry made his heart beat like a knife, and he was at a loss when a loud cry came from his ears. He heard Huang Rong say in surprise:
"Fu'er, it's a boy!"
When Yeluqi heard this, he was overjoyed that he was finally a father. He rushed into the room regardless of avoiding it. Huang Rong was cutting the umbilical cord and washing herself with Po Wen and the maid. Yeluqi looked at this cute little life with the tenderness of a loving father on his face.
Wu Dunru and Yeluyan heard that the back hall was busy and hurriedly came to visit. As soon as they walked into the door, they saw Yeluqi coming out with a happy face and said to Yeluyan:
"Sister, your second sister-in-law also gave birth to a fat, white boy. You came at the right time."
Wu Dunru and Yeluyan hurriedly congratulated him. Yeluqi returned the salute and said:
"Rejoice together and rejoice together."
He walked out with brisk steps.
When Wu Dunru and Yeluyan arrived at the house of Yeluqi and his wife, it was already bustling inside. In the outer room, Guo Jing, Zhu Ziliu, Wu Xiuwen and Wan Yanping, as well as Chen Chen, the deputy leader of the Beggar Clan, sat aside. Huang Rong held the little baby in her arms, smiling like a flower. Guo Xiang stood aside, talking and teasing him.
When Huang Rong saw Yeluyan coming in, she hurriedly handed it to her and said:
"I'll give you, my aunt, a hug."
Yeluyan took it carefully and smelled the baby's breath with joy.
Huang Rong smiled and said:
"Okay now, his aunt is here, and everyone likes this baby. I have an idea. In order not to bury everyone's talents, everyone can give him a name and let his parents choose, okay?"
Everyone cheered loudly, and Wu Xiuwen rushed to say:
"This year is the year of Xin Chou. In my humble opinion, it is appropriate to choose a single name with the word 'Xin'."
Huang Rong shook her head and said:
"Too vulgar!"
Wu Xiuwen stuck out his tongue and hurriedly kept silent. How could he dare to speak again?
Wu Dunru, on the other hand, was relatively mature and had been accustomed to fawning over Guo Fu since he was young. He smiled and said:
"Brother Yelu lives mainly in the south now. He seems to be marrying into the Guo family. I think we might as well call him 'Guo Nan'."
Guo Fu listened clearly in the inner room and said through the door curtain:
"Brother Dawu is right, I want this baby to bear my surname and this name is good."
Huang Rong shook her head again and said:
"It doesn't matter whose surname you have. As long as the baby grows up healthily, that is the biggest wish of the elders. The word 'Guonan' has the same sound as 'national disaster', which seems unlucky."
Guo Xiang leaned over the baby, smelled it, and said:
"The Book of Songs says, 'Lin's toes, Zhenzhen Gongzi, come to complain about Linxi.' Zhenzhen means benevolent appearance. It is better to name him 'Yelü Zhenlin'."
Huang Rong admired her in her heart and said with a smile:
"This little guy likes to quote scriptures, as if others don't read."
Guo Fu said in the inner room:
"It's not bad to call me Guo Zhenlin."
Huang Rong smiled and said:
"You'd better have a good rest. We're just drafting a few more names for him. The final choice is yours."
Wu Santong said:
"I think Fu'er, this precious son, was born with a straight nose and square mouth, and a dignified appearance. If the name is too common and has the same name as others, it will not be beautiful. It is better to find a unique name from "Erya" to show his uniqueness. Very different from ordinary people.”
Huang Rong smiled and said:
"Although a name is just a symbol, it actually indicates a person's future. People who have subjugated their country like to use uncommon names. Emperor Yang Guang of Sui Dynasty and Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to give their sons a unique name. Who knows what will happen to these descendants? None of them have a happy ending. This child is blessed with a great fortune, and we cannot harm his life in his name."
Zhu Ziliu shook his folding fan and said:
"Although the name is just a few words, it contains a lot of knowledge. The first thing is to determine the birth date according to his birth date, and see which line of the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth is missing, and then use the name or radical to make up for it; the second thing is to determine it based on the phonology. , it must be matched with oblique tones. If only the oblique tone is not loud enough, the character will be weak; if only the oblique tone is too intense, the character will be extreme; thirdly, you can also match it according to the strokes of the name..."
As soon as everyone heard that his name had so much knowledge, they all dared not say anything. They all looked at Guo Jing and said:
"Let's let this grandpa make the arrangements."
Guo Jing sighed:
"Brother Zhu is really a learned scholar, and a simple name can bring out so much knowledge. Unlike poor people like us, whose names are chosen based on commemoration. I think back then, when Master Qiu named me and Brother Yang, we were called 'Guo Jing' 'Yang Kang' was to make us not forget the 'shame of Jingkang'; later, we also followed this naming method, Guo Xiang and Guo Polu were to commemorate the battle of Xiangyang."
Guo Jing pondered for a while. Guo Jing suddenly remembered something and said:
"Qi'er was originally from the Khitan tribe, and the latter family worked for the Mongols, while Fu'er is from the Han nationality, and this baby was born in troubled times. In my humble opinion, I think it is best to name it with the single character '和'. In this way, I wish the Han and Mongolians Isn’t it wonderful to see friendship and peace among ethnic groups from generation to generation, and live in harmony among all ethnic groups without war or hatred?”
When everyone heard this, they all applauded and thought this name was the most auspicious.
Huang Rong clapped her hands and smiled:
"Okay, it really is true that 'the general's forehead can run horses, and the prime minister's belly can punt boats'. Brother Jing is called the 'Northern Hero'. It seems that this hero does have a broad mind as broad as the sea. Compared with the two Han and Meng Those treacherous villains in the regime who fight for power and profit and start wars at every turn are tens of millions of times more powerful! I think it would be better to call him Yelu He."
Huang Rong has said so, who dares to object?
It's just that: a fierce girl tends to give birth to a precious son, and a child in troubled times likes to be rich and famous. If you want to know the result, please listen to the next chapter.
