Chapter 937: Chapter 937 Lu Shuning
Everybody couldn’t help but look at Meng Yunzheng, who in turn looked at Shu Yu.
Shu Yu turned her head away, don’t look at her, she’s terrible at naming.
Meng Yunzheng could only clear his throat and say, “So, as long as each person thinks of one character, it’s settled. For instance, Yu is called Lu Shuyu, then Sanya…”
“Lu Shuliang?” Sanya immediately asked.
Well done, she wants to just take the latter character of ‘beautiful’?
Meng Yunzheng was almost at a loss for laughter, seeing how the little girl insisted on her own beauty, he could only go along and say, “There are many characters that describe beauty and elegance, such as ‘Ning,’ ‘Ping,’ ‘Zi,’ which also mean beautiful.”
Sanya tilted her head, “That many?”
The next moment, her eyes suddenly lit up, “Then I’ll be called Lu Shuning.”
She turned her head to ask the others, “How about that, is it okay?”
Lu Erbai and the others felt it sounded much better than ‘very smart’ or ‘very beautiful,’ eagerly nodding in agreement.
Sanya then looked at Shu Yu, who wrote the character for her to see.
“You… sure about this?” There are quite a few strokes.
But nowadays, traditional characters do have many strokes.
Sanya wrote it by herself and felt it was no problem.
Shu Yu nodded, “Mm, as long as you won’t regret it, then it’s decided.”
Sanya was very satisfied, laughing out loud looking at her own name.
Her name was decided, and next up was Dahu’s.
Dahu had been educated and already had an idea in mind, so when Meng Yunzheng looked at him, he said, “I, I like ‘Rui’.”
Meng Yunzheng raised an eyebrow, ‘Rui’ means intelligent and farsighted.
“Alright, Lu Shurui, intelligent with foresight, may you top the imperial examinations and bee the top scorer in the future.”
Dahu’s eyes really shone brightly; that was precisely what he liked to hear. Brother Meng truly understood him.
The rest of the Lu family originally just wanted him to get an education and understand characters, not necessarily to excel all the way and bee an official, but at least be literate and reasonable, hence they didn’t want to put pressure on him.
But clearly, Dahu himself didn’t think so. It was good that he had ambition and lofty aspirations.
Moreover, now that they had Young Master Meng who was erudite and talented, it didn’t seem so difficult for Dahu to top the imperial examinations.
Shu Yu also wrote Dahu’s name on the paper. The little guy seemed quite posed just now but was all smiles at this point.
Finally, Shu Yu looked at Daya, who was stunned, pointing to herself, “Me, change too?”
The next moment she shook her head repeatedly, “I don’t need to, I’m used to the name Daya, and I’m already this old.”
The old lady said, “We can still call you Daya, consider it your nickname; your given name should change. Otherwise, every time someone calls out ‘Daya’ in the village, dozens of girls would turn around looking at me.”
Sanya, who was already excited, came over and took Daya by the hand and said, “Big sister, you should change it too, otherwise others won’t know we’re siblings.”
The other members of the Lu family nodded one after another.
Daya’s face turned red, “If that’s the case, then let’s change it.”
Meng Yunzheng then asked, “What meaning do you hope your name carries?”
Before Daya could answer, Zhao Xi squeezed his way through, “I’ll choose Daya’s name.”
This was his future wife; how could he let Yun snatch the right to name her?
Meng Yunzheng glanced at him and quite decisively stepped back, “Alright, you go ahead.”
All eyes were then focused on Zhao Xi, and Daya’s face grew even redder.
Feeling somewhat embarrassed, Zhao Xi still mustered the courage to say, “What do you think of the name Lu Shuyou for her?”
