Chapter 1791: Chapter 1791: Naming (8)
Yang Ruxin paused for a moment, truly not expecting the other party to make such a request, and this request inexplicably gave her a sense of heartache.
âSister Ruxin, I was babbling, donâtâŠâ Upon seeing Yang Ruxin frown, the third child immediately got anxious. She had mentioned this to the eldest brother before, but the eldest brother refused, saying that Sister Ruxin hadnât formally accepted them yet, and suggested they discuss it later. But earlier, she couldnât hold back.
Now it seemed indeed a bit delusional.
âIt was my oversight.â Yang Ruxin sighed abruptly, hastily gesturing with her hand, âPeople should have names.â
The third childâs eyes instantly lit up.
âSo none of you have names? And you donât know your own surnames?â Yang Ruxin scanned the crowd.
Everyone shook their heads.
âHow about this, the boys will take my husbandâs surname Gu, and the girls will take my surname Yang, alright?â Yang Ruxin pondered for a moment, âIn the future, youâll follow me⊠but youâll have to sign the Selling CovenantâŠâ
âWeâre willing.â The children immediately rejoiced upon hearing this, then collectively knelt down: âPlease bestow us names, Sister Ruxin.â
Yang Ruxin, however, touched her nose, though she wished everyone to have their own names, she was truly not skilled at naming. Otherwise, she wouldnât have named Xiaoheiâs son directly as Xiaohei Junior, which led to the family despising her. She involuntarily looked at Du Juan: âWhy donât you name themâŠâ
Du Juan couldnât help rolling her eyes: âYouâre the master.â
âIn the future, youâll be their eldest sister.â Yang Ruxin showed a flattering smile.
Du Juan shook her head: âA servant cannot overstep boundaries.â
Yang Ruxin felt exasperated and sighed: âStarting to miss Du Man.â
Du Juan raised her eyes to the sky.
âForget it, letâs just name them.â Yang Ruxin suddenly waved her hand, then started pacing back and forth, earnestly pondering.
Their heads collectively followed her back and forth.
Finally, when Du Juan felt dizzy, Yang Ruxin stopped: âThe eldest shall be named Gu Mingli, the second Gu Mingyi, the fourth Mingxiang, Xiaowu Mingxiao, Xiaoqi Mingxin, as for the girls, the third Yang Mingjin, Xiaoliu Yang Mingyao, and Xiaoba Yang MingxuanâŠâ
The children laughed. They didnât yet understand the meaning of the names, but they knew they finally had names, and no one would call them little bastards or little beasts when they went out anymore.
âMing, is the hope that you will understand right from wrong in the future and not be confused.â Yang Ruxin further explained, âCourtesy, justice, integrity, honor, filial piety, loyalty, and trust are the basic principles of being human, while Jin and Yao both mean beautiful jade. I hope you can be flawless like jade, and girls should learn self-love.â
âWhat about mine?â Xiaoba hurriedly asked, âSister Ruxin, what does my name mean?â
âXuan is a very beautiful grass, Xuancao also has another name called Forgetfulness Grass.â Yang Ruxin touched Xiaobaâs face, âSister Ruxin hopes youâll be carefree in the future, alright?â
âAlright.â Xiaoba blinked her big eyes at Yang Ruxin. At only four years old, the little girl had few thoughts. She simply felt this Sister Ruxin was like a mother, suddenly reaching out and hugging her leg, âMom!â
Yang Ruxinâs mouth twitched slightly.
âXiaoba.â The eldest hurriedly came over to pull Xiaoba away.
Xiaoba seemed to realize her mistake, hurriedly letting go, kneeling down, appearing somewhat anxious.
âItâs okay.â Yang Ruxin couldnât bear to see the little girl upset and went over to pick her up, âYou canât call me Mom, Sister Ruxin isnât that oldâŠâ
