Lin Hai carefully rolled up the painting and put it back in his painting box. Think about it, I laid down the drawing paper and picked up the pen, but for a while, I still couldn't write. When did my wife become a blur?
The next day, Lin Hai arrived at Rong Mansion. It happened to be the day to take Daiyu home, and no one else knew about the old lady, so they went directly to pick up the girl.
Lin Hai was really depressed. He wanted to see the old lady, but he didn't dare to ask. He looked at Daiyu, who tilted her head and looked at her biological father. What was wrong? She also packed her things early and was waiting. When she heard that her father was coming, she came out with Yuanyang and Qingwen. As a result, looking at his father's appearance, he seemed a little unhappy to see him.
"Is the old lady okay?" Lin Hai was depressed and turned to look at his daughter.
"Very good." Daiyu thought about it and wondered if something was wrong with her own father.
"How about I go see the old lady." Lin Hai thought about it and thought, why don't he go and admit his mistake to the old lady? Although he still didn't feel that he had gone wrong.
After being married for many years, he doesn't feel that he treats Jia Min badly. He leaves all the big and small matters in the family to Jia Min. He had been childless for many years, didn’t he say anything? The old lady felt sorry for her daughter's early death. Didn't she also feel sad for losing her first wife? The main thing is that the old lady may just let herself admit her mistake, then admit it, she is busy with official duties and neglects her wife and daughter, and she is indeed responsible.
"But the old lady is just a little better. What should I do if I see you and get sick again?" Daiyu still understood her father's position in the old lady's heart and hurriedly waved her hand.
Yuanyang and Qingwen lowered their heads, feeling that Daiyu was really arrogant now and showed no mercy to her father. But yes, she does this to the old lady sometimes. The old lady doesn't care. They are just girls, so they better leave it alone.
Lin Hai looked at this leaky little cotton-padded jacket and really felt that he couldn't have this baby.
Angrily, he took his daughter into the car. After thinking about it, he still felt that he couldn't do this. He looked at his daughter, "Diel..."
"By the way, dad, the second uncle named Bao's second brother Jia Jue. The old lady asked you to give your daughter a serious name. Dai is blue and black, which sounds like it is not a serious name. She said that she gave Bao a formal name. The second brother named her randomly because he was afraid that he would not be able to support her. He said that his daughter is almost eight years old and can be given a new name. I want you to give her a name so that it can be included in the family tree." Daiyu thought about it and said hurriedly.
"Ah? Your name has already entered the family tree." Lin Hai was depressed. He really couldn't say that the Jia family was wrong to give Baoyu an official name, but his daughter's name was not considered an official one? The word "Dai" is so beautiful and poetic. The old lady herself has never studied. It seems that this is not correct. The old lady still teaches people to read in the school. I heard that she teaches people well. But I still feel a little uncomfortable.
"So actually you don't love me at all? The old lady said that the Wang family doesn't love their daughter at all. The daughter is not allowed to read. She said that she raised Sister-in-law Lian as a boy. You can tell she doesn't by looking at her name. The Wang family is named after someone from this generation. And to name the second sister-in-law Xifeng? And the mother is just like the two uncles, with a literary name. To treat everyone equally." Sister Lin finally looked like Sister Lin, her eye circles were red, and her tears were as if she wanted no money. Rolled down.
Lin Hai was depressed, but Jia Min really did what the old lady said, he really treated her like a boy by naming her and raising her like a boy. Think about it, "Then their girls don't have serious names either! Yuanchun, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, these are also names. Are the names of the maids better than this?"
"Changed it, the eldest sister is getting married, so she has to change her name before she is asked. By the way, the second sister and the others have changed it. The eldest sister's name is Yuan, which is Da Kongzhi Bi; the second sister's name is Ying, whose original meaning is jade. The meaning of the latest glory; the third sister is Fen, the jade name; the fourth sister is changed to Jue. Did you see, they are all from the edge of jade. To show the old lady's intention of equality between men and women. I should admit frankly, this is what the old lady said, The four sisters should have had a smooth journey."
Lin Hai is also a well-educated person. He knows the words without Daiyu's explanation, but the four words are connected together to show the vision in his heart, which is not bad. It can be seen that the old lady has good intentions. He also chose words that were as close as possible to the original name, so that he could ask. It can be said that it was chosen this way before, but because of fear of the reputation of the boudoir, the name was not revealed. Everywhere is justified.
"Our family has passed down a single branch for several generations. It is separate from the main branch and forms its own body. The names are all chosen spontaneously.
, you see, the name of your father is like a game to your grandfather, and your name also has a meaning. On that day, the old lady of the Zhen family in Jiangnan knew that your mother was about to give birth, so she hurriedly asked someone to send a piece of warm jade. Give your mother a natural delivery. Your mother gave birth to you safely soon. When you were just born, the piece of jade was placed in your swaddling clothes to keep you warm. Your mother thought the jade was very good, so a hundred days later, she named you Daiyu. . "
Lin Hai hurriedly went to the study to get the black piece of warm jade. Show it to Daiyu. It shows that this is the name given to her by her mother.
"Why don't I remember this jade?" Daiyu frowned as this jade was not in her memory.
"One day your mother was reading and sighed. The poets of the Tang Dynasty used the phrase "the sun is warm in the blue field, and the smoke is produced in the fine jade" to describe the poetic scenery that is elusive and out of reach. Your mother has always valued you, so after thinking about it, she accepted this jade. Lin Hai sighed softly when he thought about it, then raised his head and thought, "So it's not like I really can't remember your mother."
"Father! I'm sorry." Seeing her father like this, Daiyu felt that she had just made her father sad and felt guilty.
"It's okay, it's okay. Now that I think about it, since the jade has been collected, the name must be retaken." Lin Hai hurriedly touched his daughter's face, but still handed the jade to Daiyu, "The jade is not wrong after all. .”
"Yes!" Daiyu thought about it and decided to hang it up. "The old lady said all kinds of good things to Cousin Jue when she put the stone on her head. She even hid it from her mother. I think my mother put the jade away because she thought it was good. Jade, I’m afraid my daughter won’t know how to cherish her.”
"Yes, that's what I thought." Lin Hai felt that his daughter was really good. After thinking about it, "I thought that my father's memory was not good, so why not do this? From now on, I will draw some portraits for you, so that when you grow up, you can Collect these portraits yourself. Like the scroll you made for your father."
"Okay!" Daiyu smiled and nodded, not caring so much about her name.
However, Lin Hai remembered Jia Min's name from Brother Cong, and now Yuanchun and the others also came from this generation of boys, Congyu. It represents the importance they attach to girls. However, the ancestors of the Lin family separated from the main branch after Taizu (were driven out). In these years, the heirs had a hard time. He didn't ask about his main skills. Now they only have the father and daughter in their branch, which is really pitiful. It's difficult to even give her a name.
Thinking about it, when they returned to Jiangnan to serve as officials, if Jia Min hadn't paid a visit to the old lady of the Zhen family first and had the support of the four Jinling families, it would have been difficult for him to become an official. Therefore, it is difficult to support a single tree, otherwise, his father would not have named him Hai, with the word like Hai. It’s also an expectation for the family to grow! Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh slightly.
