Chapter 334 The new name
"Come back?"
Mr. Lin glanced at Lin Ergou and knew that he was thinking about it.
Yes, who did you show me the look of being useless two days ago?
"When are you going to leave?"
Unexpectedly, his father asked this question directly. Lin Ergou was stunned for a moment, and then answered respectfully.
"The sooner the better."
"Then it'll be fine in seven days. I'll go to help you with Madam Chen." Mr. Lin took a step further and looked at Lin Ergou up and down, "Speaking of this, you have been a grown-up for a long time, but you have been using the name 'Ergou'. Why are you reluctant to change it?"
Lin Ergou was so amused that this was not a question of whether he could bear it or not. As long as his father didn't speak, he had to bear this name even if he had children.
"Originally, I wanted to hold a ceremony for you in the Hui tribe to tell you that you have a formal name, but now the matter of Sanhua cannot be delayed. It would be fine if you go back tomorrow and follow me to bring incense sticks to your mother." Mr. Lin smiled, "How about it, do you feel wronged?"
"Don't feel wronged." Lin Ergou shook his head, "When I first arrived at the academy, I thought this name was a bit bad, but it has been so many years. Those who are biased against me because of this name are not worthy of being together. It is actually not very important if you don't tell me."
"It's great if you think so." After stroking your beard, Mr. Lin showed a satisfied look on his face, "Go to rest early and go back early tomorrow morning."
It is said that it is a simple incense stick, but it is not just a incense stick. After all, changing the name is a big deal, and no one can be missed in bathing and burning incense.
Lin Ergou's mother's ranking is placed in Mr. Lin's bedroom, offering three incense sticks in the morning and evening, and seasonal fresh fruits and vegetables. Lin Ergou remembers that he had stolen tributes when he was a child, but was beaten for the first time after his father discovered it.
Lin Ergou was very dissatisfied with this.
"This is for my mother, why can't I eat it? If she were there, she wouldn't be reluctant to let it go!"
Mr. Lin was so angry that he was trembling, but he couldn't say anything when he looked at Lin Ergou's stubborn eyes, so he was finally punished to kneel in the yard all night. That night, Lin Ergou felt a lot of resentment towards his mother.
Why did you leave so early? All the children have mothers, but he only has no one.
After many years, Lin Ergou was kneeling in front of his mother's tablet again, but he was no longer complaining. Instead, he was full of gratitude, thanking his mother for letting him come to this world, giving him the opportunity to see different scenery and meet different people.
"When you were a child, you were in poor health, so you could support me with a bad name. I thought I could change it when you became an adult, but I didn't expect it to be delayed for a long time." Looking at Lin Ergou who was kneeling, Mr. Lin was very moved, "When Yuanyuan and I thought of many nicknames for you, but none of them were useful."
Recalling the time when his wife was pregnant, Mr. Lin showed a warm expression of nostalgia on his face, but then it dimmed again.
"As for Daming, your mother searched through the books and finally got the word "Yong".
"If you are ordinary, then be content with yourself and be a mediocre person, you may as well live your life peacefully and happily."
"If you have such a little talent, it is not easy to do things in vain. I just hope that you stick to your true heart and keep following what you want."
Mr. Lin took out two brocade bags from his arms and handed one to Lin Ergou.
"Open it and see, this is what your mother left for you."
Lin Ergou opened his eyes and saw a small seal of Hetian jade inside. It was not in style, but the word "Lin Yong" was engraved in the refreshing Yang. The font is handsome and has its own style.
Mosuo was holding this little seal, thinking that this was what his mother had prepared long ago, Lin Ergou felt his eyes warm.
"When your mother gave her a name, the characters fell on me. Since ancient times, they were either extended or complementary to each other. But if I gave you a word called "Bufan", it would be a little shameless. "Mr. Lin smiled and threw the remaining brocade bag in his hand to Lin Ergou, "The word "Yong" has always been connected. Since your name is Yong, then your character will be hung on "Zhong". From now on, you can't use the name Lin Ergou. Your surname is Lin, your name is Yong, and your name is Zizheng."
When I opened another brocade bag, there was also a seal inside, which was a circle larger than the previous one, which was exactly Mr. Lin's handwriting.
There are three large characters engraved on it, Lin Zizheng.
Lin Yong held the seal for a long time, put it in the sleeve bag with the previous one, and bowed to Mr. Lin three times. Then, he bowed to his mother's tablet three times.
"Lin Yong must live up to his parents' expectations, cultivate his integrity, be impartial and do not move things."
After patting Lin Ergou on the shoulder twice, Mr. Lin sighed.
"Get up."
Looking at the son in front of him who was a little taller than him, Mr. Lin was a little confused. His wife was also a petite person, so why did she give birth to a son as tall as she was?
Well, if Yuanyuan heard this question, she would definitely be scolded by her.
"You have a proper position in the south, so I won't say much. Just remember that no matter what you encounter, if you still want to get married to Sanhua smoothly, you must come back before the May wedding."
Mr. Lin spoke solemnly, and Lin Ergou answered equally firmly.
"I will."
On the other end, Ah Niang was familiar with her in the new yard for a few days, and then she started to go to the Qiu family from time to time. Every time the Qiu family was well received, Zhang Xiaohua and Ah Niang didn't feel anything, and Zhang Sanhua began to feel something was wrong.
"My mother, are you going too frequently?"
"Is there any? No."
My grandmother didn't realize the problem Zhang Sanhua was talking about, but instead began to think about doing something to make up for Xiaohua tomorrow.
Zhang Sanhua had no choice but to use other things to distract her mother from her attention.
"My mother, my wedding dress has not yet been settled. Didn't you say you would accompany me to find the embroiderer?"
My grandmother was stunned and then remembered the preparation of a dowry.
"Sorry, San'er, look at my mother's memory, we will go find someone tomorrow."
"I'm afraid I can't find a very good embroiderer in the town. Why don't you go to the city to have a look? Do you have to find someone to fight for furniture or something?"
"Just just find you Uncle Qiu with furniture. He is skilled and in-laws, can he still deal with you perfunctory?"
"Okay, okay, you have the final say." Zhang Sanhua spread her hands and saw that Ah Mom was planning what to beat again, so she yawned in boredom.
This day is really boring.
Although it was winter, the house was burning with carbon, which was warm. Zhang Sanhua yawned and then felt a little sleepy.
Seeing that my eyelids were about to droop, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
Zhang Sanhua didn't want to move, so my mother glanced at her and got up to open the door.
After a while, my mother came back, and there were two people following her, namely Mr. Lin and Lin Yong.
When he saw Mr. Lin, Zhang Sanhua stood up and saluted, and yawned again. When Lin Yong saw him, his face was not very good.
"Miss Chen, I have something to say to you. Why don't you let the children go out for a walk?"
My grandmother was a little hesitant. Although she was a relative, she was also a man after all, so it was not convenient. The main reason was that they were two widows and widowers, and it was easy for people to gossip together.
Seeing her doubts, Mr. Lin spoke to comfort her.
"It's not good for the health of burning carbon in this house for a long time. It's better to open the window and get some air. Children can stay in the yard for a while."
My mother hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Zhang Sanhua followed Lin Ergou out of the house, but was shocked by the cold wind and woke up suddenly. He walked aside, and Zhang Sanhua poked Lin Yong with his elbow.
"Lin Ergou, what did your father say to my mother?"
"Do you want to know to listen?" Lin Ergou smiled and returned to normal. "Also, I don't call him Lin Ergou now. I have a big name, my name is Yong, and my name is Zizheng."
Zhang Sanhua looked at him with disgust and twitched twice.
"It's amazing to have words."
Lin Ergou smiled and didn't say anything. It wasn't that he couldn't tell that Zhang Sanhua was actually a little envious. Aunt Chen never thought of getting the word "Sanhua" for her. It is estimated that Sanhua will only have this name in her life.
"To be honest, what did your father tell my mother?" It was not that he couldn't hear it, but Mr. Lin clearly didn't want him to know, and she couldn't eavesdrop on it.
But it would be another matter if Lin Ergou took the initiative to tell.
"Zhenyang sent a letter before, saying that his young uncle had lost news in Nanyue, so he asked me to ask for help. I received the relevant information, and the situation was a bit complicated, so I probably had to go there in person. Are you going together?"
Lin Ergou did not answer Zhang Sanhua's words, but changed the topic, and Zhang Sanhua's thoughts were taken away by him at once.
"Little uncle, do you think Yin An?" Zhang Sanhua recalled the unpleasant boy at the time and curled her lips, "Who on the top of her head long?"
When Lin Yong heard this adjective, he pursed his lips and smiled.
"You have dealt with each other? Others are a little arrogant, but they are still good."
Without commenting on this sentence, Zhang Sanhua focused on another part.
"Nanyue, it's quite far away, your father asked you to go?"
"This year, the river water has not frozen, so it's only half a month to go by boat. The wedding date is in May, and it's time to go." When talking about the wedding date, Lin Yong's smile became brighter. "Yin Yong has helped me a lot. Now I have something to ask for, and I can't refuse. Besides, life is at stake. If something happens to Yin An, it's always good to go early."
Zhang Sanhua said oh, feeling a little depressed. Nanyue, she wanted to go, but my mother must be inaccurate.
"If you want to go, I'll help you with Aunt Chen."
"real?"
Zhang Sanhua suddenly became happy and looked at Lin Yong's mouth tilting upwards.
Lin Yong also looked at her, his eyes as gentle as water.
"Um."
I will do it for you as long as you want.
