Bai Shan helped Zhou Man up, picked up the bowl and said, "Have some soup, maybe it can whet your appetite."
Zhou Man glanced at the soup in the bowl, felt a little disgusted, turned his head and shook his head.
Bai Shan then handed the bowl to Jiulan, and ordered, "Go, let the kitchen make another bowl of soup, skim off all the oil, and take care to remove the fishy smell."
"yes."
Bai Shan wiped the sweat off her forehead with a wet handkerchief, and asked softly: "Is this also a disease, do you want to prescribe a medicine?"
Liu Sanniang came up with a glass of warm water, and said with a smile: "There is no need to prescribe medicine, just drink some warm water first, and then drink a bowl of brown sugar water later."
She handed the water to Zhou Man and said, "Master, mother is already boiling sugar water in the kitchen, it will be ready in a while."
Zhou Man took a sip of the water and asked, "Where's the child?"
Mrs. Liu personally brought the child over to show her, and said with a smile: "Look, this child is well-raised. When he started crying just now, everyone in the house heard it."
Zhou Man leaned over to look at it, and nodded his cheek, "It really looks like his sister when she was a child."
Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Siblings are naturally alike."
"Father, mother, can you let me in?"
Little Bai Jingxing was held by Wu Yue and stopped outside the door, so he could only hold the door and shout inside.
Bai Shan turned out of the inner room and rescued her from Wu Yue, "Your mother just gave birth to a younger brother, she is very tired, let's not disturb her rest."
"Then can I see my brother?" Bai Jingxing asked, "Why can you all see my brother, but I can't?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded her nose, "Wait."
He turned and went into the house and took the child out to show her.
Kid Bai Jingxing poked his head over and opened his mouth wide, "Okay, so ugly."
Bai Shan smiled and said, "It's the same as when you were a child, and you will grow beautiful after a while."
Bai Jingxing looked suspicious, "Really?"
"real."
"But he didn't even open his eyes."
Bai Shan: "That's because he fell asleep, it's getting dark outside, don't you want to sleep too?"
Little Bai Jingxing thought it was true.
"Okay, my younger brother has also read it. You and grandma can go back to bed and come to see mother and younger brother tomorrow."
Mrs. Zheng also came to coax her, and Bai Jingxing took his grandmother's hand and left.
At night, Bai Shan slept on the couch in the outer room and waited. The next day, the news of Zhou Man's safe delivery was sent to relatives and friends. The house became lively, Zhou's family and Bai Er both came to visit.
Other relatives and friends came over on the day of the third bath, but they could only see the baby once. Zhou Man always didn't like the baby to have too many outsiders to avoid contracting the disease.
The child's name was announced on the day of the three-year baptism, and Bai Shan named him "Mu" and "Xia Mu." Bai Shan looked at Zhou Man with a smile, and said meaningfully: "This also corresponds to his name." Mother's words, I hope he can be like his mother in the future."
Bai Erlang burst out laughing, Zhou Man picked up the pillow at hand and threw it at Bai Shan, Bai Shan caught it and put it back on the bed with a smile, "Mister also said that the name is very good."
"It wasn't this that you took earlier."
"Yes, but after he was born, I felt something in my heart and felt that this name is more suitable for him." Bai Shandao: "A humble gentleman, humble himself and shepherd himself. Is there a better name than inheriting the ambition of his parents?"
"Yes, yes," Bai Erlang tried his best to hold back his smile and said, "How wonderful is the word Qian, now both of you mother and child have become attached to it."
After the two explained this, Zhou Man thought for a while and thought it was really good, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's call it Xia Mu."
She had no objection, but the Bai clan members who came were shocked, and someone said in puzzlement: "Single character? Then why is it called Xia Mu?"
Some knew the inside story of the marriage between the Bai and Zhou families, and immediately asked, "Is this child named Xia?"
When Mrs. Liu nodded, they immediately objected, "This is the eldest son of Zhishan, how can he have a different surname?"
Mrs. Liu said: "It was decided early in the morning, their second child will be named after Xia."
"No, this is the eldest son, and the surname must be Bai. Even if you have to give up a child, it should be the second son."
"That's right, I've never heard of his eldest son's surname."
"This is the root of chaos."
Mrs. Liu was displeased, "This is my great-grandson, no matter what his surname is, his blood has never changed."
"Auntie's words are too natural. The origin and ambition of the ancestors are all in this surname. How can it be irrelevant?"
"What about Zhishan, today is the child's third bath, why did he come out and shake for a while and then disappear? Let him come out and tell us."
"That's right, let him come out. He is now the head of your house, so what's the matter with asking grandma to come out on his behalf?"
Mrs. Liu frowned, and was about to suppress it all the time. Mr. Zhuang who had been sitting beside him suddenly said, "Old lady, since everyone has doubts in their hearts, why don't you ask Zhishan to come out?"
Mrs. Liu looked at Mr. Zhuang in surprise.
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "The children have grown up, this is their responsibility."
Mrs. Liu paused for a moment, then ordered her servants, "Go ask the Lord Lang, and tell him that the elders in the clan have something to say to him."
Bai Shan didn't feel that this matter needed to be discussed with the family. He named his own son and discussed it with the child's mother. His own grandmother and mother never intervened in this matter, so why should he explain it to the clan
So after the three rites, he and Bai Eryin or others hid in the backyard to tease the children. By the way, when the servant came to invite him, he frowned, "Because of the name of Xiaolangjun?"
"Yes," the servant said, "Fifth Master and the others are very angry, saying that Mr. Xiao Lang is the eldest son and should not have his surname."
Bai Shan stood up, turned his head and said to Bai Er and the others: "You guys sit down first, I'll go ahead and have a look."
Bai Erlang thought for a while, got up and said, "I'll go with you. Although my family has branched out, we are still of the same clan."
Yin Yu said: "This matter should not be too strong, it is better to speak softly. The matter of surnames can be big or small. The small ones are just a family matter. You can decide what your surname is and what name you choose; if it is big, then it is up to you." It is a disorderly family, a dispute involving etiquette, and the court and China can impeach you."
Bai Shan, who was a little angry, calmed down, frowned and thought.
Zhou Man leaned on the couch, frowned upon hearing this, thought for a while and said: "Don't go alone, ask my father and my eldest brother, fourth brother, to go together."
Bai Shan understood instantly, so he was even more stunned, "You want the two families to quarrel?"
Zhou Man waved his hands indifferently and said: "It's okay, the quarrel is between Mrs Zhou and Mrs Bai, first at home, and see what's going on, if it really goes to the court, it's my father who impeached, so it's not a big problem."
Thinking of it, Yin clapped his hands and said, "That's right, both your parents have been sealed and can be impeached."
But what is the use of impeaching them
They were not in the court, and they rarely even interacted with the officials' families in Beijing. If they were impeached, they would not lose a lot of meat, and their face would not be ugly.
Bai Erlang turned around immediately, "I'll go find them."
