Chapter 386: Peace Lang

"Qianniang, come and salute Mr. Yuwen!" Li Xiu personally took Qiniang to the courtyard where Yuwenjiu lived, and then ordered with a smile that Shu Xiu had already delivered it when he went to pick up Yuwenjiu. However, the whole family was busy giving birth to a child these two days, and Li Xiu had no time to see Yuwenjiu. It was not until this morning that he took time to bring Qiniang to come.

"Qi Niang greets me!" Qi Niang also came forward very politely at this time to salute Yu Wen Shou. However, although she was respectful on the surface, she had already made up her mind that unless the other party's knowledge of shipbuilding could meet her requirements, she would unceremoniously ask the elder brother to terminate the teacher-student relationship. After all, what she was looking for must be the best shipbuilding master.

"You have to be polite. Since you like to build ships, I have already promised your brother that you will give me all your money in the future. However, building ships is not an easy task. It requires a solid foundation and it is very boring to learn. I hope Qi Niang will not give up halfway!" Yu Wenxu, who was sitting in a wheelchair, looked at Qi Niang at this time, and felt a little disappointed. He never felt that a woman could learn his ability to build ships, but since he agreed to Li Xiu, he could not break his promise and be fat.

Li Xiu is also a personal talent, so he can naturally see the thoughts of Yuwen Su and Qi Niang, which makes him feel a little funny. It seems that the master and apprentice are not happy with each other for the time being, and they both doubt the other party's strength, but he can't control these things, so let them solve them by themselves.

"Mr. Yuwen, I should have been to welcome you that day, but I must have known what happened at home. I am really sorry!" Li Xiu said apologetically to Yuwen Ze. After all, he only had time to see the other party for two days. This was indeed a bit rude.

"Li Jijiu is so polite. He also wants to congratulate Jijiu on his diary. It just so happened that I had nothing to do. I made a small thing, so I gave it to the young master for the purpose of a game!" Yuwen Huo naturally knew about Li Xiuchu's father, and said that, as he took out a wooden ball made of many small wooden pillars from behind his wheelchair and sent it to Li Xiu.

"Is this... Luban Lock?" Li Xiu took the gift from Yuwen Ju and looked it up, and finally recognized it. Luban Lock is also called Kongming Lock. It does not require nails and ropes, but can be connected tightly by the connection and support of its own structure. It is a casual toy that exercises brain power and finger flexibility. It has been rare in later generations, but in ancient times it was a casual toy suitable for both young and old.

"Yes, this is the Luban lock made by the old man. Because it is spherical, it is also called Luban ball. The solution is different from the ordinary Luban lock, and there are several deformations. The young master may not be able to use it now, but when he is a few years older, he can be regarded as a good toy." Yuwen said with a smile. Although this Luban lock is not a valuable gift, it condenses his own mental strength and technology. In a sense, it is indeed hard to find a fortune.

"Mr. Yuwen has to worry!" Li Xiu tried it himself several times, but he couldn't solve it. After all, it was the first time he played this thing, but he still expressed his gratitude to Yuwenju.

But at this moment, Qi Niang next to her suddenly took the Luban lock in Li Xiu's hand. After trying it a few times, she quickly found a solution. She first removed a small pillar from it, then her hands were flying, and in the blink of an eye, she dismantled the complex Luban lock into a pile of small wooden pillars. Now Lian Yuwen Ju couldn't help but look at his female disciple in surprise.

"If you can untie it, can you assemble it again?" Yu Wenhu suddenly said to Qi Niang at this time, with a satisfied smile on his face. This Lu Ban ball is different from ordinary Lu Bansou. It can be untie in such a short time. It has shown that Qi Niang's foundation is absolutely good. If she can assemble it, then he will not let this disciple go.

"I can untie it and install it!" Qi Niang seemed very confident. She used to play Luban Locks often. After learning with Li Xiu, she was more comfortable with this kind of game. After all, it was a test of people's spatial imagination and computing ability.

However, Qi Niang obviously underestimated Yuwen Ju. This Luban ball is different from the ordinary Luban Zuo. It may be easier to untie it, but it will increase the difficulty if you want to reinstall it. The first time she installed it halfway, she found that it was not feasible. After trying it a few more times, she tried it a few more times, but she was not discouraged at all. After careful observation and thinking, she tried it a few more times, and finally installed the Luban ball.

"Haha~, it's not bad, Qi Niang, you're so smart, but this kind of Luban ball is not just one way to assemble. I'll demonstrate a few other ways, you can take a look!" Yu Wen Huo saw that Qi Niang really assembled the Luban ball, and then laughed excitedly and began to teach her several other ways to assemble. In fact, this is also the entry point for carpenters. In ancient times, shipbuilding was essentially a carpenter job, so he had already started formal teaching.

Yuwen Huo taught carefully, and Qi Niang seemed very interested. Li Xiu next to him couldn't help but smile when he saw this. He immediately signaled Liu'er next to him and asked her to take good care of Qi Niang, and then he quietly retreated.

After leaving Yuwen Xiao, Li Xiu immediately went to Yi Niang's place. As a result, he happened to see the little guy awake. He was just full and was lying beside Yi Niang sucking his fingers. Yi Niang was lying down to tease him. However, the little guy was too young and didn't react very much to the outside world. However, he also showed a bright smile from time to time, which made Yi Niang's smile full of doting.

"Come on, call him dad!" Li Xiu immediately lay on the edge of the bed after coming in, and said to his son with a smile, "I have been a human being for two lives and finally become a father, which makes him very eager to hear his children's voices."

"Husband, the child is still so young. If you want him to speak, you have to wait at least ten months later." The lady in the air cursed Li Xiu's words, but she gave Li Xiu a little bit of a look. Then she thought of an important thing and said again, "Husband, now my son is born, you haven't chosen a name yet. You can't let our son never have a name?"

When Li Xiu heard the lady Yi ask for her name, she felt that her head was big and she could drag it away before, but now that the child is born, there is no reason to drag it anymore. This made him smile bitterly. After a while, a sudden light flashed in his mind: "My lady Yi, the child is too young. According to custom, choosing a too good name is not a good thing for the child, so why not just give it a nickname first?"

People in this era are superstitious, which has led to many taboos in life. For example, if a child’s name is too good, you will be afraid that the child will not be able to suppress the good name, which will have a bad impact on the child. This statement is very popular in the Central Plains, so many children only have nicknames when they are young, and they will only get formal names when they are older.

"Hmph, my husband is ruling again. Our children are definitely not ordinary people. No matter how good the name is, they can be suppressed!" The lady in the air said unconvincedly. In the eyes of her mother, her children are naturally better than others.

"Our son is definitely not an ordinary person, but you should be careful. It just happened that our son had seven jin when he was born. I think it would be better to call him seven jin!" When Li Xiu said the last thing, he suddenly felt a little shameless, but it wasn't that he was lazy. It was really too difficult for him to name it.

"Qijin? Husband, please use this name to make me foolish?" The lady in the air was a little unhappy when she heard this. Even if it was a nickname, it was too perfunctory to call it Qijin.

"This..." Seeing the woman in the clothes get angry, Li Xiu was speechless for a moment and could only smile with her face.

"Hehe, my husband is really too lazy. If you don't dislike me, how about I give my child a name?" At this moment, I suddenly heard someone speak outside the door, and then Princess Pingyang walked in with a smile on her face.

"Sister is here so good. I don't think I can count on my husband for naming this kind of thing. I wonder if my sister has a suitable name?" The lady in the air immediately spoke with a smile when she saw Princess Pingyang. Since the imperial edict for marriage was issued, she and Princess Pingyang have officially called each other sisters. Of course, this sister is called by age, and the two are actually not of different sizes in status.

Princess Pingyang walked to the bed with a smile, reached out to tease the little guy lying down. Li Xiu hurriedly gave way to her, and then she sat down and smiled: "Sister, we mothers don't ask for anything else, we only hope that our children can grow up safely. When this child was born, they did encounter many twists and turns. Now they think it's a little scared, so I think it's better to use the word "An" as his name, hoping that he will be safe all his life, so we will worry less!"

Li Xiu was originally hijacked from Yi Niang, but for such a big thing, the people in the mansion were too verbal, so Yi Niang knew about it yesterday, and she was so scared that she was sweating all over. Later, Li Xiu comforted her for a long time before she let her relax. In addition, she was difficult for the child to give birth when she was born, which made her a little worried. After all, there were so many disasters and difficulties in the first place, and what might happen in the future?

"Okay, just call Ang Lee!" Thinking of the above, the lady in the clothes spoke almost immediately. Her greatest wish was that the child was safe and nothing else was important.

"And Lee? Isn't that the movie made?" Li Xiu couldn't help but whisper when he heard the name of Princess Pingyang. He thought that there seemed to be a great director in the future.

"What movie do you say about husband?" The lady in the air had a sharp ear and couldn't help but ask when she heard Li Xiu's words.

"No, I said this name is good, that's it!" Li Xiu hurriedly denied, "What if he doesn't matter, his son used the first name, and there must be eight hundred people in the future who are called Ang Lee in the future. Maybe his son is the first person to call this name?

"A formal name is available, but there is still a nickname. Since the meaning of the name is Ping An, I think it is better to be called Ping Anlang?" Seeing that the nun Yi agreed with the name she gave, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but be very happy, and then proposed another nickname.

"The name of Peace Lang sounds nice and easy to remember, I think it's decided!" The lady in the air smiled again when she heard this. These two names were so in line with her requirements.

Seeing the two women chattering and deciding their son's name, Li Xiu suddenly felt a little strange, because he remembered that Princess Pingyang didn't seem to be able to name it very much. Just look at the four maids around her, she probably only thought of the names such as helmets and armor, but today she actually gave the child such a normal name, which was really surprising.

But at this moment, Li Xiu's eyes accidentally swept over the maid next to him and found that Yue Chan was looking at them with a mysterious smile. When she met Li Xiu's gaze, her little face turned slightly red, and then her eyes moved unnaturally, which made Li Xiu understand something at once.

Pingyang and Niang Yi talked about women, and Li Xiu couldn't even get into it, so after teasing Ping Anlang for a while, he stood up and left. However, when he left, he hinted that Yue Chan and left with him. When he left the room, he smiled at Yue Chan and said, "Yue Chan, did you think of those two names?"

"Sister...sister..."

Yuechan seemed a little embarrassed, but at this time Li Xiu couldn't help but tap her little head gently and said, "If you have such a thing in the future, tell the master first, so as not to eat and sleep well for such things!"

"Master, you are a talented man from Chang'an. I think you have already thought of your name in your heart, so I dare not show any ugly things in front of you." Yuechan hurriedly explained when she heard Li Xiu's words, and indirectly admitted that the two names were indeed from her.

"Haha, no one is perfect. Do you think I can do anything, Master?" Li Xiu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, but then he said strangely, "Yuechan, since you think of such a meaningful name, why don't you tell Yi Niang directly, but you have to say it through Pingyang?"

"I... I am a low-level servant. I am afraid that my wife will dislike it, so it is better for the princess to tell her!" Yuechan couldn't help but lower her head when she heard this. In fact, her background is not worse than that of Pingyang, but now she is just a slave of the Li family. Although Li Xiu has never regarded her as a person now, the gap in identity still makes her feel a little inferior.

When Li Xiu heard Yue Chan's words, he was stunned at first, and then he realized that the same name was spoken by different people, and the effect was indeed different. Looking at Yue Chan's inferiority complex, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. After all, this kind of class actually exists, even in later generations, but it is just more hidden. It can be said that as long as someone exists, this kind of class distinction cannot be completely eliminated.
