Chapter 584 Give the Child a Name

The role of chestnuts is to blend their sweetness into the originally salty aroma of the rice, so that the rice not only absorbs the deliciousness of the spareribs, but also blends in the sweetness of the chestnuts, making the taste fuller and more layered.

The chopped green onions just sprinkled on top add a hint of fragrance to the already rich-flavored stewed rice, which is like the icing on the cake.

Rong Jin, who had just come back from work, had a great appetite and ate two large bowls of rice. After the two of them finished their meal, they walked around in the room hand in hand to help digest the food.

Only when they felt the pain in their stomachs was gone did they wash up and get on the kang. Rong Jin flipped through a book in his hand for a while and asked softly.

"Sister Hua, let's give the baby a name. What do you want to name the child? How about Dingyuan? Pei Dingyuan?"

"Um, what's the point of this? Is there any rule in naming children in the Marquis' Mansion? Will grandfather and father have any opinions?"

Hualei remembered that some aristocratic families all had family trees, and their children’s names would have a fixed character as their generation.

"There isn't any in the Marquis' Mansion. My great-grandfather said that since we are a family of military generals, we shouldn't learn to be literary and learn from other families' civil servants. So, there aren't any rules in our Marquis' Mansion. As long as you feel it's good, it's fine." Rong Jin explained.

"What does Dingyuan mean?" Hua Lei asked puzzled. "It means fate is destined for three lifetimes. Sister Hua, I think our fate is destined for three lifetimes."

"Dingyuan? What if it's a girl also named Dingyuan?" Hua Lei felt that if she gave her daughter this name, she would definitely quarrel with her when she grew up.

"Let's name our daughter Yuanyuan. Marrying you makes me feel that my life is complete." Rong Jin said in a somewhat straight-man tone.

This... is not as good as the name your own father, the straight man Pei Jingyang, gave to Ruyi. Hua Lei complained in her heart.

Looking at Rong Jin who looked very proud, Hua Lei put her arms around Rong Jin's waist and said with a smile, "My dear, I think if it's a boy, we should name him Jinnian, Pei Jinnian. If it's a girl, we should name her Jinshi.

Because I feel that I met the most beautiful you at my best age. For me, that is the best time. From now on, the days with you will also be the best time. What do you think? "

"Jinnian? Jinshi? These are good names! Okay, let's do as Sister Hua says, the boy will be named Jinnian and the girl will be named Jinshi." Rong Jin thought about it and was very satisfied.

After a pause, he asked again, "Sister Hua, do you really think that you have met the best me? Is it true?"

"Of course..." Hualei answered without hesitation. Looking at Hualei in his arms, Rong Jin couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth and asked.

"But you weren't attracted to me at all in the beginning. You kept avoiding me, you..."

"Didn't you hate me at the beginning? What do you mean by that? We are destined to be together for three lifetimes. If you really believe that we are destined to be together for three lifetimes, would you tell your grandmother that you would rather become a monk?" Hua Lei retorted.

"Sister Hua..." Rong Jin looked at Hua Lei with resentment and said, "We can't get over this, right? I've explained it to you, I..."

"Then tell me, when did you start to like me?" Hua Lei asked, looking at Rong Jin who had a resentful look on his face.

"Well..., I was moved the first time I saw you. However, it was just moved. At that time, I hadn't reached the point of wanting to marry you." Rong Jin said honestly.

"Heh..." Hua Lei asked again, not knowing whether she was dissatisfied with Rong Jin's answer or what, "Does this count as being attracted by her beauty?"

"How can this be considered lust at first sight? It should be called love at first sight." Rong Jin argued cunningly.

"Tanhua Lang, what does love at first sight mean is that as soon as two people meet, you develop a liking for each other and then firmly choose the other person. But you are obviously not that.

You didn't like me at the beginning and rejected me, but after just meeting me once, you thought I was pretty good and had bad thoughts about me. This is lust at first sight, not love at first sight! Don't fool me." Hua Lei teased Rong Jin deliberately.

"I don't have any bad thoughts about you, I just... I have the idea of ​​wanting to get to know you better. Sister Hua, please don't misinterpret me." Rong Jin complained.

"Oh, the idea of ​​continuing to get to know me? No wonder you came to Qingyun Lane in person and asked Xiaoyuan and me when we would move into the Marquis' Mansion? So you wanted to test me? To see if I am qualified to be your wife, right?" Hua Lei asked again.

"Well..." Rong Jin said honestly again.

"Wow..., it turns out that you are not only attracted to me, but you also weighed the pros and cons of me. If I was greedy for money once, or did not meet your expectations once, you would not agree to this marriage, right? I thought you really loved me, but I didn't expect that I was just your backup.

If someone with a better family background or better looks than me appeared, you would have left me without hesitation, right?" Hua Lei said in a sullen tone.

"No, Sister Hua, you misunderstood me again. I didn't..., you were the one who weighed the pros and cons for me, you considered and weighed me again and again, and in the end, I guess it was because of Grandfather Hua's marriage letter that you agreed to this marriage, right? Sister Hua, you are really too bad." Rong Jin used offense as defense.

"Oh, you're putting the blame on someone else." Hua Lei couldn't help but laugh. Because she couldn't deny that she had considered and weighed the pros and cons of Rong Jin again and again.

"Look, you're laughing. You're just like that, Sister Hua. You're really so bad." Rong Jin's hands tightened around Hua Lei's waist, as if this proved that what he said was true.

After a pause, he said unwillingly, "Just now you said that you met the most beautiful me at your most beautiful age. You are just fooling me. If you really thought so at the beginning, you would not have avoided me at all. Sister Hua, you are a liar." Rong Jin held Hua Lei's earlobe in his mouth and licked it slowly.

"Um...no, it's itchy." Hualei shrank her neck to avoid Rong Jin's teasing, and said dissatisfiedly, "What if I didn't run away at that time? At that time, mother was always looking for other young ladies from noble families for you.

I heard that at that time, all the unmarried young ladies from the noble families in the capital came to the garden of the Marquis's Mansion. Each of them was as beautiful as a flower, and was proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

I heard that you like one of them, whose surname is... whatever, anyway, she is a lady from a very good family background." Hua Lei started to deceive Rong Jin because of what Zhenzhu said during the day.

"When did it happen? Sister Hua, where did you hear such nonsense?" Rong Jin asked, staring at Hua Lei.
