Bai Shan helped Zhou Man up, picked up the bowl and said, "Drink some soup, maybe it will whet your appetite."
Zhou Man glanced at the soup in the bowl, felt a little disgusted, turned around and shook his head.
Bai Shan handed the bowl to Jiulan and ordered: "Go, let the kitchen make another bowl of soup, skim off all the oil, and pay attention to the fishy smell..."
"yes."
Bai Shan wet the handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead, and asked softly: "Is this also a disease? Do you want to prescribe some medicine?"
Liu Sanniang brought a glass of warm water up and said with a smile: "There is no need to prescribe medicine. Just drink some warm water first, and then drink a bowl of brown sugar water later."
She handed the water to Zhou Man and said, "Master, mother is already boiling sugar water in the kitchen. It will be ready in a moment."
Zhou Man took the water, took a sip, and asked, "Where is the child?"
Mrs. Liu personally carried the child over to show her, and said with a smile: "Look, this child is so well raised. When he started crying just now, everyone in the house heard it."
Zhou Man leaned forward to take a look and tapped his cheek, "She looks exactly like his sister when she was a child."
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Sister and brother, they are naturally similar."
"Dad, mother, can you let me in?"
The child Bai Jingxing was held by Wuyue and blocked outside the door. He could only hold the door open and shout inside.
Bai Shan turned out of the inner room and rescued her from Wu Yue's hands, "Your mother just gave birth to a younger brother and is very tired. We don't want to disturb her rest."
"Then can I see my younger brother?" Bai Jingxing asked: "Why can you all see your younger brother, but I can't?"
Bai Shan smiled and nodded her nose, "Wait."
He turned around and went into the house to take the child out and show it to her.
Little boy Bai Jingxing looked over and opened his mouth, "Okay, it's so ugly."
Bai Shan smiled and said: "Just like you when you were a child, you will become beautiful after a while."
Bai Jingxing looked suspicious, "Really?"
"real."
"But he didn't even open his eyes."
Bai Shan: "That's because he fell asleep. It's dark outside. Don't you want to sleep too?"
When kid Bai Jingxing thought about it, it was really true.
"Okay, my brother has also seen it. You and your grandmother can go back to bed and come back to see your mother and brother tomorrow."
Mrs. Zheng also came to coax her, and then Bai Jingxing took his grandmother's hand and left.
At night, Bai Shan slept on the couch in the outer room and waited. The next day, news of Zhou Man's safe delivery was sent to the homes of relatives and friends. The house became lively, and both the Zhou family and Bai Er came to visit.
Other relatives and friends came over on the day of the third bath, but they could only see the baby once. Zhou Man always didn't like the baby to come into contact with too many outsiders to avoid contracting the disease.
The child's name was announced on the day of the third bath. Bai Shan gave him the name "Mu", "Xia Mu," Bai Shan smiled and looked at Zhou Man, and said pointedly: "This also agrees with him.
I hope he will be like his mother in the future."
Bai Erlang burst out laughing. Zhou Manshun picked up the pillow at hand and threw it at Bai Shan. Bai Shan caught it and put it back on the bed with a smile, "Mr. also said this name is excellent."
"This is not what you picked up earlier."
"Yes, but after he was born, I felt something in my heart and felt that this name was more suitable for him." Bai Shandao said: "A humble gentleman is humble enough to shepherd himself. Is there any better name than inheriting the ambition of his parents?"
"Yes, yes," Bai Erlang said, trying hard to hold back his laughter: "The word Qian is such a good word. Now you, mother and son, have become attached to it."
After the two explained this, Zhou Man thought for a moment and thought it was pretty good, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's call him Xia Mu."
She had no objection, but the Bai clan members who came were shocked. Some people asked in confusion: "One word? How can it be called Xia Mu?"
Some people knew the inside story of the marriage between the Bai and Zhou families, and immediately asked: "Is this child's surname Xia?"
When Mrs. Liu nodded, they immediately objected, "This is the eldest son of the Supreme Being, how can he have a foreign surname?"
Mrs. Liu said: "It was decided early in the morning that their second child will bear the surname Xia."
"No, this is the eldest son, and the surname must be Bai. Even if one child has to be given up, it should be the second son."
"That's right, I've never heard of the eldest son's surname."
"This is the root of chaos."
Mrs. Liu was unhappy, "This is my great-grandson. No matter what his surname is, his bloodline has never changed."
"Auntie's words are too natural. The origins and aspirations of our ancestors are all in this surname. How can it be irrelevant?"
"As for Zhishan, today is the third day of the child's bath. Why did he come out and wander around and disappear? Let him come out and talk to us."
"Yes, let him come out. He is now the head of your house. What's the point of asking grandma to step in for him at this time?"
Mrs. Liu frowned and was about to press it down. Mr. Zhuang, who had been sitting next to her, suddenly said: "Old Mrs., since everyone has doubts in their hearts, why don't you ask Zhishan to come out."
Mrs. Liu looked at Mr. Zhuang in surprise.
Mr. Zhuang said with a smile: "When the children grow up, this is their responsibility."
Mrs. Liu paused and then ordered her servants, "Go and invite Mr. Lang and tell him that the elders in the clan have something to say to him."
Bai Shan didn't think this matter needed to be discussed with his family. He could name his own son and discuss it with his mother. Even his grandmother and mother had never intervened in this matter, so why did he need to explain it to his clan members?
So after the three baptisms, he and Bai Eryin or others hid in the backyard to entertain the children, talking by the way. When the servants came to invite him, he frowned and said, "There was a dispute over the young man's name?"
"Yes," the servant said, "the fifth master and the others are very angry, saying that the young man is the eldest son and should not have his surname."
Bai Shan then stood up, turned around and said to Bai Er and others: "You guys sit down first, I'll go to the front and take a look."
Bai Erlang thought for a while, stood up and said, "I'll go with you. Although my family has branched out, we are still of the same clan."
Yin Yue said: "This matter should not be too tough. It is better to speak more gently. The surname can be big or small. Small is just a matter of the family. You can decide what your surname is and what name you choose. If it is big, then that's up to you.
If you cause chaos in the family and the clan, and if it involves a dispute over etiquette, the government can impeach you."
Bai Shan, who was already a little angry, calmed down and frowned in thought.
Zhou Man leaned on the couch, frowned when he heard this, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Don't go alone, ask my father and my eldest brother and fourth brother to go together."
Bai Shan understood instantly, so he was even more stunned, "Are you trying to get the two families to quarrel?"
Zhou Man waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. The quarrel is between Zhou and Bai. Let's start the quarrel at home and see what happens. If the quarrel comes to the court, it will be my father who is impeached. It won't be a big problem."
Yin You thought about it, clapped his hands and said, "Yes, your parents have been sentenced to imperial edicts, and they can also be impeached."
But what is the use of impeaching them?
They are not in the court, and rarely interact with the official families in the capital. If they are impeached, they will not only have a lot of meat, but also not lose face.
Bai Erlang immediately turned around and said, "I'll go find them."
