Zhao Luoning regretted it deeply, extremely deeply. She shouldn't have given the right to name the children to others in the first place.
The most troublesome thing was that no one was willing to back down on this matter.
So they all set their sights on Zhao Luoning.
Each of them tried to persuade her with emotion and reason, all attempting to convince her to accept their chosen names.
It was truly a situation where it was hard to choose between equally loved ones.
All of them were relatives of her and the children. If she sided with one, it was bound to make the others unhappy.
Naming a child should have been a very simple thing, but now it had been turned into a complete mess because of their squabbling.
Zhao Luoning's body hadn't fully recovered yet. How could she withstand such successive pestering from everyone?
Ji Shisu had no choice but to issue an order to evict the guests. He held the pair of sons and guarded Zhao Luoning's bedside all the time.
When someone came, he would hand the children over to them.
Normally, after people played with the children for a while, they would forget their original purpose.
Even if they remembered, they didn't dare to voice their thoughts because of Ji Shisu, who was extremely protective of his wife.
This way, Zhao Luoning finally got a day or two of peace.
Zhao Luoning was half - reclined against the head of the bed, pushing the rocking chair with one hand.
On the other side, Ji Shisu was also busy.
The elder son didn't sleep as much as the younger one, so Ji Shisu had to hold him, rocking him while talking to Zhao Luoning.
"It's better to decide on the children's names earlier."
How could Zhao Luoning not know the current situation? She hoped more than anyone that this matter could be resolved earlier.
But as long as they kept arguing, Zhao Luoning couldn't make up her mind.
It wasn't that Zhao Luoning couldn't name the children herself. It was mainly because these two little guys had important statuses.
The elder son had been arranged to be the successor of the Bai family. It was relatively easier to name him. Although there were disputes over a few courtesy names, not many people paid too much attention.
The younger son was different.
He would be the heir of the Jun family in the future and would have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of revitalizing the family business. The name not only had to sound good and be easy to remember but also had to be in line with feng shui and fortune - telling.
Madam Zhao, Zhao Luochun, and Zhao Luoyu almost turned against each other because of this child's name.
Zhao Luoning's words didn't work anymore.
"I should have decided on the names before the children were born. It would have saved us all this trouble. I'm really scared. Unless these two little brats name themselves, no one's choice will satisfy everyone."
Zhao Luoning's words woke Ji Shisu up. He immediately had a brilliant idea.
Finally, the names of the two children were decided during the zhuozhou ceremony.
The method was very simple. They just used two wide - mouthed porcelain bottles and put the names chosen for the two children into the bottles.
Each paper ball was the same size, and the two bottles were filled to the brim.
Zhao Luoning held the elder son, and Ji Shisu held the younger son. Just like in the zhuozhou ceremony, they let the two sons reach out and grab the paper balls in the porcelain bottles by themselves.
The result was unexpected.
The name Zhao Luoyu had chosen for the younger son, Zhao Mo, was grabbed by the elder son.
The name Zhao Luochun had chosen for the elder son, Zhao Yan, ended up in the hands of the younger son.
Seeing this result, everyone burst out laughing.
For the younger son, this name was acceptable. But the most restless one had grabbed a name with the character'mo' (silent). Zhao Luoyu was laughing while teasing the still - swaddled Bai Zhaomo.
"I wonder if this little Zhaomo will become more peaceful with such a name."
The names were chosen by the children themselves, which was very fair. And in the end, no one got their way. So everyone had no choice but to accept it.
Using the same method, the courtesy names of the two sons were also decided.
The elder son, Bai Zhaomo, had the courtesy name Jing Huan.
The younger son, Jun Zhaoyan, had the courtesy name Jing Ru.
These two were secretly put in by Zhao Luoning. Finally, the two little guys grabbed them out.
It seemed that there was a certain fate in the dark.
The children's names were finally decided.
Ji Shisu was a bit proud of his brilliant idea.
He leaned close to Zhao Luoning's ear, his tone full of pride.
"In the future, we'll name our other children this way too."
Zhao Luoning was speechless.
She had had enough of this once. Name them this way again?
Moreover, wasn't he satisfied with having a pair of sons? How many more children did he want?
Giving birth to these two little devils had almost killed her. Have a few more?
Did she still want to live?
It seemed that she had to have a good talk with Ji Shisu about this issue when they got back to their room!
After the children's first - birthday banquet, their names were submitted to the clan to be registered in the household register.
There was no problem with the elder son's name.
But there was a problem with the younger son's.
The head of the Jun clan didn't recognize Jun Zhaoyan.
He even didn't recognize Jun Zhifou.
This was within Zhao Luoning's expectation.
After all, if they recognized Jun Zhaoyan, they would have to return the property that had been divided up because this branch of the family had no male heir.
Zhao Luoning had been in poor health during her pregnancy. Moreover, Ji Shisu had handed in so much money that she didn't even have enough energy to sort out Ji Shisu's accounts. How could she have the time to deal with the Jun family's affairs?
Seeing the letter she had sent being returned, Zhao Luoning thought it was time to visit the Jun clan.
"Miss, miss."
Caixue rushed in excitedly.
Bai Zhaoyan, who was lying in the cradle, was startled by her loud voice and cried out a few times.
Zhao Luoning had to pick him up again and comfort him softly before he fell asleep again.
Caixue was used to rushing into the room and shouting good news to Zhao Luoning as soon as she got it.
After Zhao Luoning gave birth to the children, she had to take care of the two little guys' temperaments, and Caixue really wasn't used to it.
Caixue stuck out her tongue. She sat down next to Zhao Luoning, but lowered her voice a lot.
Fortunately, it was Jun Zhaoyan in the room now.
Bai Zhaomo was different from Jun Zhaoyan. If he was woken up, he would cry for a long time.
"What's making you so happy?"
Caixue had been worrying about Yang Ming coming all the way to take her back recently. Every time she came here, she was sighing.
After all, it was related to the diplomatic relations between the two countries, so Zhao Luoning couldn't help Caixue make a decision.
Considering the overall situation and reality, Caixue was bound to return to her country with her elder brother.
But considering their many years of master - servant relationship and Caixue's feelings for Zhao Luoming, it would be the best choice for Caixue to stay in Huangcheng.
This was a difficult choice for anyone.
Unexpectedly, Caixue had solved this difficult problem.
"Master has agreed to let Luoming go to Buda with me."
Zhao Luoming was going to Buda with Caixue?!
"Is he going to Buda? What about Madam Zhao?"
Caixue showed a hesitant look and said, "Miss, you don't know yet. A few days ago, Madam Zhao heard that Zhao Luoyue was dead and had died a tragic death. She banged her head against the wall and died."
