People in the countryside all believe that a humble name is easier to raise.
Of course, the real reason is that they have little culture, and they can give their children nicknames as casually as they want. Some people simply don't bother to give their children nicknames, and just call them according to the order of their teeth. Boys are called Xlang, and girls are called Xniangzi, Xya, and Xniuer.
Bai Su is one of them.
I didn't think much of it in the past.
Since her relatives passed away, no one called her by her nickname anymore, and she gradually forgot about it. When Shen Tang suddenly brought it up, Bai Su was stunned for a moment, and then her face fell. She seemed to be unable to speak and said, "I have something to ask of you..."
Shen Tang understood immediately: "You want me to take it?"
"Yes, Su has neither blood relatives nor teachers in the world, so the matter of choosing a name..." Bai Su's expression became a little gloomy as he spoke.
In fact, Bai Su could also give herself a name, but she was not very confident in her cultural level.
As a lord, it is reasonable for Shen Tang to give names and characters to his subordinates, and it can also save a lot of trouble.
Facing Bai Su's eyes full of expectation, Shen Tang scratched his head and agreed: "Okay, I'll go back and think about it."
Choosing a name is a major event in life.
Shen Tang took it seriously and searched for it overnight.
The second day.
Shen Tang picked up the pen and wrote with great vigor and vitality.
"What do you think of this word?"
Bai Su took it and looked at it carefully, muttering to herself.
"Shaoxuan? Bai Shaoxuan?"
In fact, Shen Tang thinks the name "Suzhen" is also okay.
_(:з)∠?)_
However, no matter how much he plays with the memes, it is impossible for Shen Tang to really create a "Bai Suzhen" - it would not be fun if the "Holy Land of Mountains and Seas" really spit out mythological stories related to the Legend of the White Snake.
Bai Su put the letter away carefully.
He thanked her and said, "Thank you, my lord, for the calligraphy."
Seeing that Bai Su accepted it so quickly, Shen Tang wanted to persuade Bai Su to think about it again: "After all, this is a lifelong event. If you don't like it now, you can change it..." She actually wanted to discuss it with Wu Hui and learn from him to choose a nice name.
Bai Su smiled and said, "It has a connection with Su."
"Fated?"
Is there any other coincidence here
Bai Su did not hide it, her eyes were filled with warmth as she recalled the past: "My Lord, you may not know that 'Shao Xuan' was the name my teacher used when she was young. Her family suffered a great change, and after several ups and downs, she changed her name to 'Wuming'."
She didn't expect Shen Tang to be so coincidental and actually gave her the word "Shao Xuan" as a pen name. The moment she saw these two words, a voice in her heart whispered "This is it".
Shen Tang had heard Bai Su talk about her mentor before, but the past of that "unknown" heroine was only briefly mentioned.
This is the first time I know her name.
“… No need to be shy?”
Shen Tang felt that it was not appropriate.
Bai Su shook her head and curved her eyes: "No need to be shy, and my master has abandoned the name 'Shao Xuan' for many years. I believe my master will be pleased that I am carrying on his aspirations... Besides, she has always been the one who spoils me the most... If I can make a name for myself under the name 'Shao Xuan' in the future, wouldn't that be great? She will understand."
The biggest regret of my teacher's life was that she could not reach the top. Just because she was born a "woman", she was restricted in every way and was forever deprived of the qualification to reach the top. This was a shame for her who had always been proud. Bai Su was luckier than her.
With the name "Shao Xuan", it can be said that the master and the apprentice are, in a sense, moving forward side by side and reaching the summit together!
Shen Tang was relieved: "That's good."
Bai Su acted very low-key, so low-key that it was not until many days later that Zhao Feng was reminded of this by Gu Chi.
She politely declined Zhao Feng's kindness.
Said: "The Lord has already given the word."
Zhao Feng asked: "What word?"
If you have a proper word, you should use it to refer to the character.
Bai Su replied: "Shao Xuan."
Zhao Feng pondered it carefully, stroked his beard, and nodded in affirmation: "This word is suitable for your name."
Bai Su gathered her courage and some people were happy while others were worried.
The person who is "worried" is Lili.
It's not that he was jealous, but Bai Su's success as a latecomer put him under a lot of pressure. When he thought about his own martial courage not showing any signs of improvement, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep for a few days. But pressure is the motivation to go further. Half a month later, under Li Li's crazy hard training, he also gathered martial courage, and everything came naturally. Shen Tang heard the good news.
Actively ask Li Li: "Do you want to give it a name?"
The name Lili can only be considered a nickname.
He is in a similar situation to Bai Su, both are alone, and as a lord he should take the initiative to give warmth to his subordinates.
Unexpectedly, Li Li refused.
Who said he was a loner
He has a wife!
My wife had chosen a name for him many years ago.
When Li Li thought that the name his wife gave him would be permanently engraved on his Wudan Tiger Talisman, he couldn't help but grin.
Shen Tang: “…”
Come to think of it, she still doesn't know what Li Li's name is.
Li Li just said to keep it secret.
Only when he truly condenses the Wudan Tiger Talisman, will he be truly qualified to introduce that name.
Shen Tang: “…”
She was very suspicious. If she split Li Li's brain with a sword, would it be filled with the word "Madam"
If she asked, Li Li would probably pat his chest and tell her that the word "Madam" was also engraved on his heart.
Singles don’t understand the world of love-brained people.
Spring ploughing is in full swing.
The weather is getting warmer day by day.
The flower buds of the ornamental peach trees bloom one after another.
Fugu City was also gradually filled with annoying barking dogs, meowing cats and chirping birds. Shen Tang held her chin with one hand and handled official business with the other hand, and from time to time she had to secretly move her butt to change her center of gravity. She didn't know when she could get away from the heavy workload. If she continued to sit like this, she would get hemorrhoids sooner or later, and she didn't know if the current medical skills could cure it... Thinking of this, she yawned.
“Sleepy… I feel sleepy in spring, tired in summer, exhausted in autumn, and hibernate in winter. I don’t get enough sleep all year round… I’m the governor of Heyin County, but I don’t even have five social insurances and one housing fund…” With heavy eyelids, Shen Tang simply put down his pen and prepared to lie down for a rest and recuperate.
Before anything could happen, Lin Feng came running in from outside.
He shouted, "My dear, my dear, something terrible has happened!"
Shen Tang suddenly woke up: "What happened?"
Lin Feng, who was dressed in plain spring clothes, looked pretty, but her face was full of worry and nervousness: "A fight has started!"
Shen Tang was confused: "A fight broke out?"
She managed to stand up from the mat.
Because of the numbness in both legs, he almost fell.
"Who started the fight? Or who broke in?"
Lin Feng stamped his feet anxiously: "It's the teacher and Mr. Qi."
Shen Tang's sleepiness flew away completely - how did Chu Yao and Qi Shan fight? It also scared Lin Feng so much that he rushed over like a rescuer - she was extremely anxious, supporting her numb legs, limping out, and hurriedly said: "Lingde, lead the way!"
"only!"
What Shen Tang thought was the crime scene: a bloody scene.
The actual crime scene: heads in twos and threes secretly poking out of the wall, watching the fun and eating spectacles.
Shen Tang pushed away Gu Chi and others who had arrived at some point in time.
Angrily said: "What are you doing-"
Shen Tang: “???”
She was stunned when she saw the scene clearly.
My mind is full of questions.
who is she
Where is she
What is she doing
Qi Shan and Chu Yao didn't fight, so why did Lin Feng act as if the two of them were fighting to the death? She thought something serious had really happened_(:з)∠?)_.
Lin Feng emphasized that he did not make a false report.
"Teacher, they really took action just now—"
Shen Tang: “…”
Why doesn't she believe it
The two people who were fighting as Lin Feng mentioned were standing about ten feet apart, looking at each other, with a cat and a dog squatting not far from their feet.
Needless to say, the cat is the beautiful cat Su Shang who has gained a lot of weight recently. The dog is short and chubby.
It looks like he was born just over a month ago.
The beautiful cat Su Shang was now arching her back, with her tail erect, her fur standing on end, and breathing wildly at the dog.
The brown and yellow dog huddled at Chu Yao's feet, with its ears drooping and whimpering timidly, looking so pitiful.
She vaguely remembered that half a month ago, Chu Yao said that he went out and picked up an abandoned puppy on the roadside. Shen Tang didn't pay much attention to it. What did her subordinates like to raise cats and dogs have to do with her? Chu Yao didn't like cats and preferred dogs, which had nothing to do with her.
As it turned out, it had nothing to do with her.
But it’s about Qishan and Qishan’s cat!
Qi Shanyang's Su Shang was pampered by him, and his temper grew day by day. He was called the cat king of Fugu City! Wild cats came to provoke him, but he was also beaten back. He could even fight against many cats alone, and the fight was fierce, which was very different from his sweet and cute appearance.
This is where the problem lies.
Chu Yao's silly dog likes to pee everywhere to mark its place.
It would have been fine if it had marked itself in Chu Yao's courtyard, but it had the audacity to sneak into the next door and wander around Qi Shan's courtyard. How could Su Shang tolerate that? Seeing that the puppy was not big, he scratched it several times and beat it back without any suspense.
Chu Yao came back and found that his dog had been beaten.
But I don’t know who did it.
In this way, the puppy was beaten twice again.
It so happened that when he was beaten for the fourth time, Naigou fled back to his own territory, while Su Shang became more and more courageous and fought back.
Chu Yao then realized who had done this. Seeing that Su Shang was not giving in, and remembering Qi Shan's face, he helped his own dog and interfered with Su Shang's attack. The milk dog successfully counterattacked for the first time.
That day, Qishan learned that his own Su Shang had been beaten.
I'm so angry.
He soon discovered who the "murderer" was.
then-
Shen Tang was stunned: "And these two started fighting because of their own cats and dogs???"
Lin Feng whispered: "Not entirely."
She added: "Su Shang is pregnant."
Shen Tang was almost speechless: "Calculate the age, Su Shang is also at the age of estrus, isn't it normal for her to be pregnant? Yuan Liang wouldn't think that the kitten in Su Shang's belly is Wu Hui's puppy, right? These two are reproductively isolated..."
Qishan naturally didn’t think so.
But he was indignant that Chu Wuhui shamelessly bullied a pregnant woman.
Of course, before that, he was trembling with anger—which shameless wild cat got Su Shang pregnant? How old is Su Shang! He wanted to castrate all the male cats in Fugu City!
To put it simply, the dispute between the cat and the dog escalated to the owner. Chu Yao was worried that his dog would suffer a loss, so he used his literary energy to interfere with Su Shang's attack. As for Qi Shan, he used his literary energy to suppress the puppy, who was bigger than Su Shang, to ensure the safety of the pregnant woman.
Before the cat and the dog could decide the winner, these two drew their swords first.
It started from a quarrel between cats and dogs - such as Su Shang barking day and night after the spring, and the puppy urinating everywhere and destroying and biting the flower seedlings planted by Qi Shan - to the past disputes between the two, and even involved Shen Tang.
Qi Shan still did not give up the plan to cultivate a gentleman, and was annoyed that Chu Yao indulged Shen Tang in various ways instead of correcting him in time. Chu Yao laughed at his old-fashioned thinking. How could a "evil schemer" want to cultivate a gentleman? The mind of a young man should not be constrained by rules and regulations.
In a nutshell, in a word.
When the two failed in their verbal fight, they resorted to physical fight.
The sword shadows are dizzy and the sword lights are flashing.
Lin Feng was so frightened that he lost his mind and hurriedly called for his savior who could stop the two of them—Lover Shen Tang!
Shen Tang: “…”
Her fists are about to harden!
They are all too idle!
They actually have the leisure to help cats and dogs fight and spray each other, while she, the lord, is too tired to worry about getting hemorrhoids!
"Qi Yuanliang, Chu Wuhui!"
As the master, Shen Tang punished Su Shang and the puppy to write a thousand-word self-reflection book, accusing them of destroying the harmony of the team, urinating randomly, and fighting randomly. Those who couldn't finish writing within the deadline would be locked up in a small dark room! They would be released when they admitted their mistakes!
What
Cats and dogs can’t write
Haha, their owners always know!
Xu Jie came over to do business and heard the story, then he slightly polished it and sent it back. Wu Xian was eating rice porridge when he heard the story, and he almost spit out a mouthful of rice porridge. He laughed so hard that he slapped his thigh and said, "This, haha, this is actually true?"
Xu Jie said: "It is absolutely true."
Cat and dog self-reflection books were also posted.
Wu Xian turned around and told Qin Li about this. He wanted to laugh every time he heard this joke. He said, "Qin Qing, are you sure this is someone you know? Pfft—Is this the evil scheme you know?"
Even his five-year-old sons wouldn't do such a childish thing, let alone write a self-reflection book for a cat or dog.
Qin Li was also speechless for a while.
The literati use their literary spirit to do this...
It's really embarrassing.
But he was still determined and sighed, "No matter how absurd Qi Yuanliang's behavior is, my lord can't take it lightly. How do you know that this is not a trick to confuse the enemy?"
Wu Xian said that he would pay attention, but he was muttering in his heart - what method can be used to confuse the enemy? Such a naive move would be too costly.
After talking about the light things, Xu Jie talked to Wu Xian about serious matters, which were very heavy. Coincidentally, Shen Tang was also discussing the same thing in the meeting - refugees.
"Last year, the rebels of King Zhui failed to attack Sibao County and retreated to the defense line to engage in a tug-of-war with Zheng Qiao..."
Shen Tang received news that more than a thousand refugees poured into Heyin, stealing and looting, causing a great impact on Heyin's public security. If he didn't find a way to settle these people, even greater troubles would come later.
As spring plowing season ends, the war will expand from local conflicts, and she is worried that Heyin and other places will also be involved.
“… The number of refugees counted was over 1,300.”
Shen Tang asked: "Where are you from?"
Gu Chi had already been prepared.
The refugees were originally from all over Xin State, and even a small number of them came from Geng State... They also revealed a piece of information that made Gu Chi very worried. The overall strength of the King of Zhui was not as good as Zheng Qiao, and he had connections with Shiwu and Beimo, and wanted to borrow troops.
Shen Tang couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
"These two brothers are interesting. They are like-minded. They have the same brain circuit when it comes to fighting! If they can't win, they'll try to get the tiger's skin... Are they planning to allow the two places to send troops into the country? Northern Desert jackals, Ten Crows, tigers and leopards. I remember that Zheng Qiao conquered Xin State by cooperating with Ten Crows, so that Ten Crows could tie down the border troops of Xin State and prevent them from returning to defend? After Zheng Qiao succeeded, he didn't pay much attention to Ten Crows. Ten Crows suffered losses before, so how could they still believe in the Pig King?"
