"Third brother, you give him a name. You named the baby Yuanxue, the eldest of the third generation of our Xia family. You should also name the baby in the belly." The second brother Xia Haoqi suddenly became serious.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Xia Haoyang didn't hesitate to ask about the situation.

"It's also a boy, hehe." Xia Haoqi's face broke into a smile again, and his smile looked really silly.

"Do we have to name them according to generation? With a character of 'Yuan'?" Xia Haoyang asked. The generation in the Xia family tree is: Sheng Yi Hao Yuan, Zhi Cheng Xiu Xing, these eight characters. Xia's father Xia Yimeng is of the Yi generation; Xia Haoyang and his three brothers are of the Hao generation, and their children are of the Yuan generation.

"That should be the case, otherwise it wouldn't be able to get through to my dad." Xia Haoqi thought about it.

"I remembered a line from Qu Yuan's poem "Chu Ci": "As long as my heart is upright and honest, even if I am in a remote place, what harm will it cause me?" This line comes from "She Jiang", which means: As long as my heart is upright and honest, even if I am in a remote place, what sorrow and regret will I have? So the baby can be named Xia Yuanduan or Xia Yuanzhi, hoping that the baby will have an upright and honest character, and be upright and selfless."

"Xia Yuanduan? Xia Yuanzhi?" The second brother Xia Haoqi murmured, "What is the full text of this poem?"

Xia Haoyang was shocked. "I can't remember the whole text. You can search it on your phone. I remember a few sentences: I took a boat to the Yuan River, and the Qi and Wu boats were used to beat the boats. The boat was slow but could not move forward, and the water was flooded and I was stuck. I left Wangzhu in the morning and stayed in Chenyang in the evening. If my heart is upright, it doesn't matter if it is remote. I wandered in the Xupu River, and I didn't know where to go. The deep forest is dark and gloomy, where monkeys and apes live. I can't remember the rest."

"Any other opinions?" Second brother Xia Haoqi didn't seem to like these two names.

"Then let's call him Xia Yuanxiu. The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will search for it up and down. This is also from Qu Yuan's work "Li Sao." Xia Haoyang suggested again.

"I am familiar with this. The road ahead is long and arduous, but I will search for it up and down. What does that mean?" Xia Haoqi looked at his third brother with warm eyes.

"This was a resolution Qu Yuan made after he was demoted. We now also call it setting a flag. The general meaning is that (in the pursuit of truth) the road ahead is long and far, and I will (spare no effort) to pursue and explore it up and down. In this poem, xiuyuan means long-term, but the word xiu itself also includes learning and training in knowledge and character." Xia Haoyang explained.

"Then let's call them Xia Yuanxiu. The eldest will be Xia Yuanxue, and the second will be Xia Yuanxiu. Study and further education. The third generation of our Xia family must all be motivated and work hard. This is a good meaning." Xia Haoqi was very satisfied with the name Xia Yuanxiu.

"As long as you like it." Xia Haoyang breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, I didn't see Jingyi today. Is she not awake yet?" Xia Haoqi looked around.

"No, she went out with her sister-in-law early in the morning. It seems that she went to buy something. I don't know what these women are like."

Yesterday at noon on the 20th, Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi returned to their mansion in Vancouver. In the afternoon, Zeng Jingyi went shopping for half a day with Xia's mother and sister-in-law Kuang Yurou, saying that she was accompanying her sister-in-law to buy jewelry for the wedding.

I ended up shopping until almost eight in the evening and bought a bunch of clothes and other miscellaneous things but no jewelry.

Then she went out again early this morning, reportedly to be accompanying her sister-in-law to buy jewelry to match her wedding dress. This reason also made Xia Haoyang depressed.

Xia Haoyang had a good sleep and didn't get up until almost ten o'clock. When he went downstairs, he ran into his second brother.

"Is there anything to eat?" Xia Haoyang walked downstairs and looked around.

"There should still be some leftover buns, fried dough sticks, porridge and the like on the table from this morning," Xia Haoqi kindly told him.

"As long as there's something to eat." Xia Haoyang walked towards the dining table.

When Xia Haoyang arrived at the dining table, he was wolfing down fried dough sticks and porridge. Not long after, Zeng Jingyi and sister-in-law Kuang Yurou walked into the Xia family mansion arm in arm.

"We came back early from shopping today. Did you buy the jewelry you wanted?" Xia Haoyang asked vaguely, looking up with a bun in his mouth.

"We haven't bought it yet. We were still shopping but just now we got a call from Sister Na, asking me and my sister-in-law to go choose a wedding dress together, so we didn't make any choices. We plan to come back to change clothes and meet up with Sister Na later." Zeng Jingyi replied with a smile.

"You're getting married soon, but you haven't decided on your wedding dress yet? That can't be the case. And considering Sun Na's status, shouldn't she have it custom-made? It will take at least one or two months to customize a wedding dress. And even if you're choosing a wedding dress, you should ask my second brother to go with you, not you guys, right?" Xia Haoyang asked curiously.

"The main wedding dress has been prepared a long time ago. This is the wedding dress for the banquet. Sister Na has also ordered several sets from a brand. Today we are going to choose. Oh, you don't understand. I can't explain it to you clearly. I'm going upstairs to change my clothes."

Xia Haoyang was stunned. "The main wedding dress? The wedding dress for the banquet? Aren't these the same thing?"

Zeng Jingyi, who was going upstairs, turned around and said, "Let me tell you this. Sister Na prepared a total of 6 wedding dresses and 3 Chinese-style dresses for her wedding day, specially for various occasions and environments on the wedding day."

"Fuck, is it that troublesome? I have to change nine sets of clothes a day?" Xia Haoyang was dumbfounded.

"So you don't understand." Zeng Jingyi smiled and walked upstairs quickly.

"Um, second brother, how many sets of clothes have you prepared?" Xia Haoyang, who was sitting at the dining table, asked Xia Haoqi, who was sitting in the living room watching TV.

"I prepared two sets, one is a custom-made Armani suit, and the other is a Chinese-style dress, which was made by the most famous tailor in Vancouver." Xia Haoqi replied.

"Yes, one set of western clothes and one set of Chinese clothes is about right. I can understand that. But why would a woman have eight or nine sets of clothes?" Xia Haoyang was very puzzled.

"Hehe, Nana looks good in anything she wears." Xia Haoqi looked intoxicated.

"Stupid, second brother is stupid. Men become stupid after getting married." Xia Haoyang shook his head and sighed, then continued to eat breakfast.

Xia Haoyang's second brother Xia Haoqi, who was already dumbfounded in his heart, was watching TV alone. Sometimes he laughed out loud for no apparent reason, and sometimes he frowned. He was very curious about what TV show his second brother was watching that could make his expression change so drastically. As a result, when he walked closer, he found that it was actually a pig farming program. How could he watch this with such relish and laugh out loud?

Xia Haoyang sighed again.

Not long after, Zeng Jingyi and her sister-in-law Kuang Yurou came down from upstairs after changing their clothes.

"By the way, second and third brothers, Jingyi and I will not be back for lunch. If mom asks, just say we are going to accompany Nana." Kuang Yurou glanced at the two brothers of the Xia family.

"Okay, I got it. Didn't Mom accompany you out this morning?" Xia Haoyang answered vaguely.

"Mom took the baby to the park for a walk this morning and didn't come with us. Okay, let's go. Bye." After saying that, Kuang Yurou took Zeng Jingyi's arm and walked out of the door confidently.
