Chapter 406: ten o'clock
Chapter 406 Ten Points of Water
After Jiang Ling's life story spread, grandfather Jiang Qinliang justly brought gifts to Jiang's house to thank him. The gifts are ready to be brought from Yingzhou, including medicinal herbs for Mrs. Jiang, precious ancient books for Uncle Jiang, rare antiques for Jiang Erye, and beautiful seafood for the children of the Jiang family. What moved Yan very much was that Jiang Qinliang also prepared a box of gifts for her husband Jiang Huai, which contained stones of different shapes and colors.
Jiang Huai thanked Jiang Qinliang, patted Jiang Ling on the shoulder again, and said gratefully in his heart, but did not say it. Jiang's family in Yingzhou could know that he was fond of stones, and it must be Jiang Ling who wrote about it. Although this child doesn't talk much, he still remembers him in his heart.
After the ceremony, the elders talked in the front, and the little ones opened the gifts in the back. The box that Jiang Ling's grandfather prepared for them comes in two colors: red and green. Guys and girls, the little guys took one each, got together to take it apart and looked at it, and then they all said "wow".
In Jiang Liu's box, there is a palm-sized pink coral, as well as pink coral beads, beautiful conch shells, and peacocks made of small shells of various colors and shapes... She took them out and looked at them all, and she liked them so much. .
"What is this, what do bugs do? It looks so strange."
Everyone looked at a small two-inch long khaki-yellow tail that Jiang Saburo was holding, but they didn't recognize it. Jiang Liu recognized it at a glance: it was a dried seahorse, but she didn't say a word, but waited for her sister to explain.
Jiang Muyan saw that the brothers and sisters didn't recognize it, and said, "This thing is called a seahorse, and you can see that its head looks very similar to a horse."
Xiao Shirou lowered his head and pulled it out of his box, and soon pulled out a small seahorse, held it up and looked at it carefully, sighing, "Sanjie is right, its head looks like a horse. Is this edible?"
Jiang Mujin glared at his younger brother, "I know what to eat! Can the food to eat be mixed with the things to play?"
Koishirou stuck out his tongue and glanced at the seahorse in his hand. Jiang Liu turned around and found that there was nothing in her box. Then she looked up and saw that the second brother was also holding one. She thought that this was for the boys in Yingzhou Jiang's family, and she also wanted to…
Just thinking about it, Jiang Liu had one in front of him. Jiang Liu grinned, "Thank you, brother."
Jiang Ling pushed her box in front of her sister, meaning that this box was hers. Xiao Shiro was jealous, and looked eagerly at the box in his sister's hand. Jiang Mujin hugged the box tightly and said, "You think beautifully!"
Xiaoshiro made a face at her, and continued to play with the little seahorse, "The seahorse is so small, who is it riding for, mermaid?"
"Stupid! A merman is also a fish, so it must have a tail, so what's the point of riding a horse!" Jiang Saburo gave his fourth brother a blank look.
Xiaoshiro was not convinced, "That man still has legs, doesn't he also ride a horse?"
Jiang Saburo said, "Do seahorses have legs?"
"The sea is full of water, why do you want your legs?" Xiaoshiro pushed back, and the two of you quarreled with each other.
Everyone is used to it, and they don't pay attention to these two guys anymore. Jiang Erlang asked the third sister, "Does the third sister know what this seahorse is used for?"
Jiang Muyan explained, "I've seen this herb in a drugstore, but I just don't know its efficacy."
Jiang Erlang nodded, then smiled, "The one who will put the herbs in the box should be Brother Ling's cousin or cousin."
Hearing what the second brother said, Jiang Ling explained, "There are three sons and two daughters in my uncle's family. The third cousin, Xichen, is nine years old this year. I heard from my grandfather that he is the most naughty. come in."
"Cousin Xichen is so nice." Jiang Sanlang fondly played with the little seahorse, thinking that he must have a good chat with him, "Brother Ling, next time we write, please invite them to come to Kang'an to play?"
Jiang Ling nodded and invited people from his grandfather's family to come to Kang'an to play. Because he hasn't set up a house in Beijing, and when the house he's looking for moves out, he can send a letter to invite them to play after he rebuilds the house.
Thinking of the yard in the picture, Jiang Ling's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. His inadvertent action frightened Saburo, so he didn't dare to say a word.
In the front yard, the old General Jiang Qinliang was talking, but he couldn't help crying. After thanking the Jiang family again, he talked about the matter of his grandson worshiping Jiang Erye as his adoptive father. Naturally, he had no opinion. When it comes to which guests to greet, Jiang Qinliang said, "Yingzhou is thousands of miles away from Kang'an, and the family can't make it in a while. Except for Zuo Weiwei's commander-in-chief, General Wang, this old man will visit the Marquis of Pingxi tomorrow, and invite him to come and watch the ceremony. ."
Although I don’t know what the relationship between Ling’er’s grandfather and the Marquis of Pingxi was, since he opened his mouth, he should be able to invite people. Mrs. Jiang was naturally happy, "On the side of the Pingxi Hou, there is Lao Lao General. There must be good delicacy and wine in the mansion, waiting for the Hou Ye to drive."
Jiang Qinliang smiled brightly, "There is one more thing, Qinliang wants to ask Mrs. Sister-in-law for an idea."
Mrs. Jiang bowed, "General, please speak."
"Ling'er's name was named by his grandfather. In recent years, he was brought up by his wife's wife and his adoptive father. He walks in Kang'an under the name Jiang Ling, and everyone has become accustomed to this name. So Qinliang thought about it. When he is young, why don't you ask Jiang Feng to give him the name Jiang Ling, what does Mrs. Sister-in-law think?" Jiang Qinliang suggested. Men's characters are generally taken when they are 20 years old and crowned. Ling'er's situation is special. His life was saved by his adoptive father.
Madam Jiang raised her head to see the eldest son and the second son. Seeing that they were both smiling and nodding, she said, "The general's intentions are understood by the old man, and he also feels that Ling'er takes the word Jiang Ling, which is convenient for walking in the future. The word 'jiang' is changed to general. 's surname—Jiang of Three Points Shui, whose word is Jiang Ling, does the general think this is good?"
Jiang Qinliang was stunned for a moment, then nodded quickly, "Okay, okay."
Although Erye Jiang was smiling, he was unhappy in his heart. He accompanied the old general to dinner with his son and sent him away. Erye Jiang angrily ran to the north courtyard to complain to his mother, "How good is Jiang Ling, mother Zuo? I even want to change him to a river with three o’clock water, Jiang Ling Jiang Ling, a name with five o’clock water in it sounds cold, don’t you think it’s a little too much?”
The little girl had water in her head, and it took several years to raise her. Now that her son has been stuffed into the water nest again, Jiang Erye is full of rejection.
Mrs. Jiang did not speak, but pointed to the hangover soup on the table. Jiang Erye picked it up angrily and drank it in one bite, then looked at his mother pitifully and said, "Mother don't push Linger far away, she really hates him, and wants to keep him by his side, with him by his side. , my heart is at ease."
Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at her silly son, and the old **** said in the tunnel, "Linger's parents have both died, and the person he is closest to in this world is his grandfather. What's wrong with using his birth mother's surname when taking the characters?"
"No one takes this..."
Madam Jiang stared, "That's because they didn't catch up with Ling'er!"
That's true... Jiang Erye is still uncomfortable.
Mrs. Jiang saw her son's head bowed, and then urged, "Don't tell General Jiang that five o'clock water is not cold or not. Ling'er's uncle's name is Jiang Haoda, and his name has six o'clock water!"
Jiang Erye said angrily, "Mother is wrong, it is seven o'clock water, and there is still a little water in the word 'Da'."
Mrs. Jiang narrowed her eyes, "If you think about it like this, there is a 'jing' in the 'Hao', and the jing has three points of water!"
"That's ten o'clock water..." Jiang Erye muttered, his eyes lit up, "Jiang Haoda has been stationed at the seashore all year round to fight against Japanese pirates, just because there is too much water in his name, mother, right?"
Mrs. Jiang laughed angrily at her son, "It's pure nonsense!"
