Chapter 125 Lei, full of expectations and hope
Hua Lei really looked at Rong Jue with new eyes. This little guy was really weird sometimes, but always adorable.
Hua Lei nodded affirmatively, "Yes, I also think that the name Rong Jue is particularly nice, and has a very good meaning. And I think, Rong Jue, your personality and qualities are completely worthy of such a nice name, worthy of this double preciousness and double beauty." Rong Jue narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Rong Jin, who was standing next to him, looked at his boastful cousin and felt inferior to him. Seeing Hua Lei smiling at Rong Jue with a confident look on her face, she felt envious and wondered what her name meant. Rong Jin, Rong...Jin.
"Sister Hua, I think your name is also very nice. Lei means a flower that is in bud, a flower that has not yet opened, or a flower bud. When you hear it, you feel that the beautiful flower is about to bloom and a beautiful picture is about to appear. It makes people feel full of expectations and hope.
Especially when it is connected with "Hua", it sounds better. Sister Hua, if your last name is not Hua, but Ruan, then you should be called Ruan Lei. Ah, Ruan Lei, a weak spot? Not good. If your last name is Liu, then you should be called Liu Lei, tears? Ah, that's even worse. So it's better to connect it with "Hua", and call it Hua Lei. Sister Hua, do you think I'm right?" Rong Jue said a lot.
Hua Lei was stunned. Her name had such a good meaning. Wasn't it just a random name given by her grandfather because it was easy to pronounce?
Flower…buds, full of expectation? Full of hope? Really? Really! The flower buds smiled, and two deep dimples appeared clearly at the corners of their mouths, just like two peach blossoms in bud, soothed by the spring breeze, and blooming wantonly in the bright spring light.
Rong Jin, who was standing opposite him, stared at the flower buds without blinking. He felt that he had been trapped in the beauty of the peach blossoms. He only wished that he could sink deeper and deeper into the dimples and into this sea of flowers.
"Sister Hua, you look so beautiful when you smile!" Rong Jue, the expert in flirting with girls, no, the expert in flirting with girls, spoke with a smile again.
Hua Lei leaned forward solemnly, held Rong Jue's hand, and said, "Rong Jue, just because of what you just said, Sister Hua will take care of all your candy beans from now on."
Han Qingge stood there dumbfounded. She had originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Hua Lei and teach her some principles of life so as to prevent her from being a bad influence on her younger sister Zhenzhu.
But what happened now? Hualei was praised, and even an ordinary name was said to be full of expectations and hope. Han Qingge was very upset.
After a moment's thought, he asked Rong Jue with a smile, "Rong Jue, I think you are really smart. So tell me, what's good about my name?"
"Uh..." Rong Jue was stunned. He looked at Han Qingge and said carefully, "Singing softly... Qu'er? Did you cry too loudly when you were born, and Uncle Han wanted you to cry softly? So he called you Qingge? That's not right. It should be called light crying or light weeping?" Rong Jue touched his head, a little distressed.
With a chuckle, Pearl finally couldn't hold back her laughter. Han Qingge was so angry that she couldn't say anything.
As they were talking, the carriage had already arrived at the gate of the Marquis's residence. The servants at the gate saw Rong Jin and the others coming back. One of them was busy opening the corner gate so that the carriage could enter the Marquis's residence directly, while another servant had already gone in quickly to report to Old Madam Pei.
The carriage went straight to the second gate, and Rong Jue's mother, Ruan, was already standing there. Rong Jue didn't wait for everyone to get off the carriage, but jumped off the carriage by himself, threw himself into Ruan's arms, and said coquettishly, "Mom, I was admitted, and I ranked 20th in the exam, am I amazing?"
Ruan smiled, which was rare, and patted Rong Jue on the back. She said, "Well, very good, very impressive, come in quickly, grandma has been waiting for you for a long time."
She leaned down again and gently patted Xiaoyuan on the back, "Xiaoyuan, you are amazing. You got the first place in the civil recruitment exam. You are really amazing. Come in quickly, Grandmother Pei is waiting for you." Xiaoyuan nodded and followed Rong Jue. Zhenzhu Hualei and others also got off the car. Ruan greeted them and the group entered Songhe Hall.
In Songhe Hall, Mrs. Pei was all smiles, "Grandma, I ranked 20th in the exam, am I amazing?" Rong Jue started to act funny again. Mrs. Pei held Rong Jue and Xiao Yuan in her arms, one in each hand, and praised them with a smile, "Amazing, Rong Jue is really amazing, Xiao Yuan is even more amazing. Hahaha...Are you hungry? Hurry up and bring out the snacks that you prepared." Mrs. Pei instructed the maids and servants.
"I'm not hungry, Grandma. We just came back from having snacks. After reading the list at the gate of the Imperial College this morning, we went to Helin Street and bought a lot of delicious food. At noon, we went to the Eight Immortals Restaurant to have a seafood dinner. Sister Hua treated us."
Madam Pei paused, looked at Hua Lei, and then looked at Rong Jin. "Really, where did you go after eating the delicious food?" Madam Pei asked Rong Jue.
"After lunch, we went to Zhuque Street to play again. Sister Zhenzhu bought a beautiful gold bracelet, and we also met Brother Jiang at the entrance of Jinyu Mantang.
Brother Jiang wanted to invite us to Mingxiang Pavilion for tea and snacks, but he refused. Then we came back. "Class representative Rong Jue reported everything he had done that day.
"Have you seen Brother Jiang? Jiang Yunqi?" Old Madam Pei turned around and asked Rong Jin.
"Well, yes. We met at the entrance of Jin Yu Man Tang and chatted for a while. Mr. Jiang went to the jewelry store to pick up some goods. He originally wanted to invite us to Ming Xiang Pavilion for tea and snacks, but I saw it was too late and was afraid that you would worry, so I came back directly." Rong Jin said concisely.
Mrs. Pei looked at Zhenzhu. Zhenzhu, who was always carefree, showed a rare shyness of a girl. She lowered her head and said nothing. Han Qingge opened her mouth and closed it again.
Madam Pei nodded and started to tease Rong Jue in her arms again, "Rong Jue, do you smell anything? It stinks."
"Ah, it stinks? I didn't smell it. What is that smell?" Rong Jue sniffed.
"It's you. You stink so much. Go take a shower and change your clothes before coming back. Xiaoyuan, go too. Come back for dinner later." Old Madam Pei drove Rong Jue and Xiaoyuan back to the yard where she lived.
Ruan followed Rong Jue back first, and the maids and servants also left. Han Qingge took Chunhua back to Madam Han first.
Looking at Rong Jin and Zhenzhu who were sitting, Hua Lei who was sitting next to them stood up and said, "Grandma Pei, I'm going back to Qihua Courtyard to change clothes and come back later."
Hua Lei felt that Rong Jin and Zhen Zhu might have something private to say to Old Madam Pei, and it would be inappropriate for her to sit next to them, so she also offered to leave.
