Chapter Seventy-Eight: Choosing a Name

"Secretary Zhang, little brother ......"

"Climb out of the way!"

“……”

Zhang Saburo, who was a little depressed, felt that he was working so hard that he was not as good as a mouth cannon, which was simply ...... It's an insult to my own hard work.

But obviously he felt so aggrieved, and others really recognized his mouth.

When I arrived at the government office, the office was cleaned up, and unlike other places, it was not the servants or slaves of the government who did the cleaning work here, but the internal recruitment of the embassy. Most of them are locals of Jiangxia or Hanyang, and there must be people in the family who work at the Jinkou Ferry Pass.

If you want to say respectful, there is naturally it, but if you want to say that you are servile, it is not enough.

The beloved people of the Tang Dynasty also belong to a signboard, and they can be regarded as people with a small sense of citizenship, but they have a much better life than Qianshou Cangtou.

"Secretary, the tea is ready."

"There is Sister Lao Tian."

"If you want anything, just call me."

"Okay."

Huan Tian was short and fat, but with thick arms, he was used to rough work. Her husband is a guard at the ferry, and if he counts up several generations, he can still have something to do with Huan Wen. Of course, Huan Wen must not have any blessings for them, her honest husband, once he wants to arrest the fugitives, everyone else shrinks, so he buries his head and rushes forward with a spear......

Fortunately, honest people have the benefits of honest people, Huan Tian's family heard that the observation embassy was recruiting internally, how to say that his own Ah Lang is also a person in the system, and he asked three, five or six, and it is said that he has to go and sign up by himself. Other women don't dare, she is spicy, and when she arrives at the observation embassy, she almost performs a big stone on her chest.

She thought it was to observe the embassy recruiting security guards.

After a busy morning, Huan Tian went to get some candy cubes, and when some bureaucrats in the office were not refreshed, they could be happy by eating sugar.

When he arrived at Zhang Li, Huan Tian put down the sugar cube and added a few more plums. Seeing that Zhang Li was closing his eyes and rubbing his eyes, he knew that he was taking a break, so he smiled and said, "Secretary, I have a reluctant request, but I don't know how to speak......"

"Oh, Sister Tian just said, what's the difficulty?"

"It's not that it's difficult, it's my bride, and now she's about to give birth. When the time comes...... When the time comes......" Huan Tian rubbed the rag in his hand, "Can you bother the secretary, help me with the child born by the bride, and approve a big name?" ”

"Don't you look at the birthday?"

"Hey, what do you want to do? This is my little bride, my youngest son's, and I don't want her to have a boy, I already have five grandchildren at home, and I want to think about a granddaughter. Look, secretary, does it matter if this woman is named? ”

"Naturally, it's important, it's better to listen to, it's good after all."

"I estimate that it will be born in the winter moon, and it will definitely not be in the wax moon."

"Winter Moon."

Zhang Li pondered for a while, and then said, "If I don't dislike it, I can give a name now, and I can also get a little blessing from observing the embassy." ”

"What blessing?"

"We'll find out later."

After that, Zhang Li picked up the pen, wrote two words on the paper, and handed it to Huan Tian, "Sister Tian, do you really want the name of Xiaolang?" ”

"Don't, don't, the secretary's iron mouth is like a knife, saying that it is a female baby, it is a female baby!"

Zhang Sanlang's face darkened, and he slightly controlled the mind of tearing up the piece of paper in his hand, until the Huan Tian clan left with joy, all of them were uncomfortable.

After getting off work, Huan Tian arrived at home, cleaned up the table, and several sons, daughters and five grandchildren came over to serve dinner together. After eating the dishes, Huan Tian took out a piece of paper while eating: "Na, a few of you take a look, this is Secretary Zhang's name." In this belly, it must be a clever girl. ”

Originally, the little bride was still a little unhappy, but she saw that Huan Tian took out a big gold bracelet and slapped it on the table, and the dishes and chopsticks were flashed by this light.

The family was wide-eyed, and the daughters-in-law who gave birth to sons were all happy, but Huan Tian said: "As long as it's a granddaughter, this thing is ......."

With a bang, the gold bracelet was pushed in front of the little bride's eyes by thick fingers, and Huan Tian's face was joyful: "Yours." ”

The head of the family didn't seem to see anything, just eating with his head down, without raising his eyelids, and his mother-in-law was there to preside over the speech.

"A-Niang, how can there be a certain number of boys and girls in this life? Besides, why do you want a girl? ”

"You know the."

Huan Tian was not happy when he saw his youngest son, and glared at him: "The old lady is in the yamen, what characters haven't you seen?" This girl is upside down in other places, but here, the girl also has to work, and there is a female clerk in the yamen, which was approved by the imperial court. Let me tell you, in the future, the errand of serving people in the yamen may not be returned to the rough man to do. I don't know elsewhere, but this observation of the embassy, those documents and books, dense like mountains and seas, rough men go to cook, I'm afraid it's not to burn down the archives, this year I recruited two Silla women, saying that it was for what queen did what female officials, anyway, the yamen in charge of building gold, stone and civil engineering, that is all rushing to ask. ”

"Is this an adult's greed for beauty?"

"Beautiful fart, that posture, not as good as the old lady's young appearance, face plate...... How big, how big! ”

Originally, the Huantian clan compared a bowl, and finally compared it to a basin.

"Then A-Niang is going to raise a female clerk?"

"What? Is a female clerk bad? Do you know how many local subsidies in Wuhan are there for observing the documents of the embassy, in addition to the money issued by the imperial court? I'm afraid it will scare you to death if you say it...... A few days ago, the old lady also helped a brother from other places to pick a house. Okay, I don't look at the price, close to that little bit of money, there is a big mansion at the gate of the east of Jiangxia City, there are five or six big rooms, bright and ...... atmosphere."

Looking at the old lady's eyes full of envy for the little star, the little daughter-in-law looked at her husband, looked at the gold bracelet, and then asked, "Auntie, what is written on this paper?" ”

"Alas...... Didn't I say that you, the breadwinners, should also learn more to read and write? I'm watching Li Chunfeng's three plays now...... Ahem, the most literate person in the family is such an old woman, and it's not a shame. ”

After speaking, Huan Tian pointed to the two words on the paper: "These two words are called 'Pan Xue', the name of my granddaughter." Secretary Zhang said that this name can be a blessing to the Observation Embassy, and I don't know what the reason is. ”

A month later, the weather in November was getting colder, with occasional ice ballasts drifting, and the river breeze in the winter months blowing like knives.

And in this scene, in a private house, the midwife of the Xicheng Health Center is busy with her assistants and household belongings.

"Oh, they all said to go to the hospital, but you have to stay at home, this is good, this is good, the weather is very cold in the winter moon, is it still freezing on the road?"

"You stuffy gourd shut up the old lady, the midwife invited by the old lady should be a liar from the field? What noble people haven't seen it? You still suspect things, roll, roll, see annoyance. ”

During the noise, he suddenly felt that the weather was not so cold, and in a daze, the housekeeper who ran outside the house to sulk suddenly shouted: "Oh! Mother-in-law, it's snowing! ”

"Huh, how good is it? Say that you are looking forward to a snow? ”

As soon as the words fell, in the warm delivery room, there was a crisp and loud cry of a baby, which shook inside and out, and was full of joy and joy.

The next day, Zhang Li, who looked confused, stood in the office, surrounded by his colleagues, and said that a relative of his family was about to give birth, and he would see if he would do him a favor.
