Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

Qin's mother was illiterate. She only knew that farmers named their daughters "Zhao Di" and "Lai Di" to wish for a younger brother, so she insisted on naming her granddaughter "Lai Di", hoping that she would have another grandson.

I don't know how "Lai Di" became Lai Ge Mei Mei.

"They said a brother was coming, how come a sister is coming?"

Qin Yunhe was also feeling overwhelmed listening to this.

A few days ago, Yuger asked Qin Yunhe if the name Lai Di was given because he wanted Di'er to have a younger brother?

Qin Yunhe asked him why he thought of asking this.

Although Qin's mother did have this intention, Qin Yunhe certainly didn't want to say that his daughter's name was in the hope of having a younger brother.

Regardless of whether Qin Yunhe wanted a son or not, he felt that it was not a good idea to name his daughter a son based on another person's expectations. However, he did not think much about it at the time. After all, he could only be officially registered after the age of five, so he was not in a hurry to name her.

His mother asked him to call Lai Di, so he didn't say anything.

Now I feel a little embarrassed when asked by students.

"My groom just gave birth to a little sister and named her 'Zhao Di'. They said they wanted her to have a brother. Di'er is called 'Laidi', so is that also a brother?"

Qin Yunhe said: "The 'Di' in Lai Di is not the 'Di' in brother."

As he said this, he wrote the word "Di" on the paper.

"Look, this is 'Di'. The elder sister calls the younger sister 'Di'."

Qin Yunhe naturally knew that people named them "Zhao Di" and "Lai Di" because of their homophones, which are pronounced as "Zhao Di" and "Lai Di". However, when he was really asked by students, he was embarrassed to admit the meaning of the name.

Yu Ge'er made his own connection and drew inferences: "Then Lai Di's intention is to recruit a younger sister, right?"

Qin Yunhe nodded and said, "Yes."

But he didn't expect that as soon as he told Yuger, Yuger ran to tell Lai Di the meaning of her name.

At this time, his daughter suddenly said it. Seeing his mother's shocked expression, Qin Yunhe had to bite the bullet and explain.

"The 'Di' in Lai Di does not refer to the younger brother. It is indeed the name that the elder sister used to address the younger sister in the previous dynasty."

Mother Qin was immediately anxious: "I don't care whether he is called a younger brother or a younger sister. Anyway, Lai Di is a younger brother. Others call him that, and they will give birth to a boy later. But you think about your sister all day long. How can you give birth to a boy?"

"Children are very good at talking. Whatever they say comes true. Are you teaching a child to say that he wants to find a sister?"

When Qin's mother yelled, Lai Di, who had just been playing the tangram in silence, seemed annoyed by the noise and started yelling while covering her ears: "Ahhhh——"

Yu Ru felt a little depressed, and felt even more distressed to see her daughter like this, so she quickly picked up her daughter and comforted her.

Although Qin's mother was still unhappy, she endured it after seeing the reactions of her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and did not say anything. She turned around and went back to her room.

Yu Ru didn't want to pay any attention to Qin Yunhe, so she picked up her daughter and went back to the dormitory.

Qin Yunhe stood alone in the yard, speechless and depressed. After thinking for a long time, he returned to his room and wanted to coax Yu Ru first.

Lai Di still looked a little unhappy. She lay in Yu Ru's arms, refusing to speak and looking listless.

In fact, she didn't understand what the adults were arguing about or why. It was just that children were naturally sensitive and noticed that the atmosphere was tense, so she felt uncomfortable and started yelling.

Qin Yunhe went over to try to comfort his wife, but Yuru turned to the other side with her daughter in her arms, obviously not wanting to pay any attention to him.

In fact, Yu Ru rarely ignores him like this. Most of the time, even if she is angry, she just argues with him for a few words.

But she felt distressed when she saw her daughter looking so depressed, so she didn't want to pay any attention to Qin Yunhe.

"Yu Ru, don't be angry..."

"I told you to look up historical records and give Di'er a good name, but you ignored me. You have read so many books, but you gave your daughter such a simple name. If you think this name is good, why don't you tell Yu Ge'er that you just want Di'er to have a younger brother?"

Qin Yunhe was speechless.

He really didn't take Yu Ru's words seriously before.

Many times when he looked back on the past, he often felt that he was quite an asshole. In fact, many of the things Yu Ru said were just perfunctory to him and he forgot them in a blink of an eye. He really turned a deaf ear to her.

He was indeed completely focused on playing before, and didn't pay much attention to Yu Ru and his daughter, or rather, he didn't even pay attention to the matters at home.

Until he suffered a series of family disasters, he became devastated and depressed all day long.

Looking back on the past twenty years of my life and thinking about the details of that life, I realized how selfish and unreliable I was.

He is not considerate enough to his wife, not caring enough to his daughter, and not even considerate enough to his mother.

After a long pause, Qin Yunhe said softly, "Okay, don't be angry anymore, okay? It's my fault. I was such a jerk before. When mom said she wanted to call her Lai Di, I thought it was just a nickname and anything else would do. I thought that a child can only be registered at the age of five, so there's no rush to name her, so I didn't take it to heart for a while."

"I really reflected a lot after you left. I've thought about what you said in the future and I'll keep it in mind. You know, I was really busy this year, so I didn't think of giving Di'er a name in time."

After hearing what he said, Yu Ru's heart gradually softened. Thinking that Qin Yunhe had indeed changed a lot in the past year and was indeed too busy to have time, she felt that she was being unreasonable.

Qin Yunhe saw that Yuru didn't say anything but just lowered her head and hugged her daughter and rocked her gently twice. He realized that Yuru's attitude had softened, so he pulled his wife over and held both the big and the small in his arms.

"Don't be angry anymore. I'm going to start thinking, I must give my daughter a nice name, okay?"

Yu Ru nodded gently in his arms.

After comforting Yu Ru, Qin Yunhe went to look for his mother.

In fact, Qin's mother has thought a lot over the past year.

Ever since Yu Ru left, the family has been lonely and deserted for the past year. People who had been secretly making fun of their son for losing his position as a scholar have become even more open-minded. Even Dong Yue, a woman who had been rejected as a bride, was rejected when he asked his son to marry her.

Looking at the changes in her son after Yu Ru left, and what Qin Yun He said to her, she had already made up her mind that as long as her son was happy, she would not say anything and would not care.

I couldn't control myself today and my reaction was a little too big. Now I feel unhappy and regretful. I'm torn between myself and myself. I don't know whether I should continue to teach my granddaughter a lesson later, or take this opportunity to say something soft to my daughter-in-law.

After her son went back to the room and didn't come out for a long time, Qin's mother was very worried.

Unexpectedly, when I was struggling, my son came over.

Mother Qin hadn't figured out what expression to put on when she saw her son come in with a bashful look on his face. He just sat there, sighed helplessly, and said, "Mom."

Seeing her son like this, Qin's mother became anxious and didn't care what attitude she should take. She quickly came over and asked, "What's wrong? Is Yuru angry?"

Qin Yunhe looked at his mother pitifully and sighed softly.
