Ch 82: The Style Name “Changsong”

Such a student was a pleasure to teach, and someone to boast about!

He was nothing like the two troublemakers in the school!

Who summoned Little General Guo every other day!

Madam Wan felt that Xing Ge’er and Ji Ge’er would not pass the school’s regular examination after the New Year!

Let alone the Prefectural Examination next summer!

And after that, the Provincial Examination!

Yuan Xueyue smiled, “How about asking Teacher Wan to give Song Ge’er a style name?”

When he goes to school after the New Year, he should have one, shouldn’t he?

Teacher Wan was delighted, but waved her hands repeatedly, “How could I dare, how could I dare? It depends on Song Ge’er’s own wishes.”

Song Ge’er quickly responded,

“I’m willing! I agree to everything Mother says.”

Teacher Wan smiled.

This child not only listened to his teachers, but also listened to his mother!

With such a child, why not be happy?

Teacher Wan knew in her heart that Madam had asked Little General Guo to invite her to be Song Ge’er’s teacher.

Teacher Wan was already very grateful in her heart, and she didn’t expect Song Ge’er to be better than she imagined!

“Good, Song Ge’er, how was your given name chosen?” Teacher Wan asked.

Song Ge’er bowed and said,

“In response to Teacher, my given name was chosen by a fortune teller in Lucheng based on the Guo family’s generational naming order. My surname is Guo, and my given name is Song, making my full name Guo Zisong.”

“Grandfather once said that I have a solitary nature and a dull complexion, a humble and stable person of the earth, so the fortune teller gave me the name Song.”

Teacher Wan nodded repeatedly.

It was a good name, and shouldn’t be discarded, after all, a person’s name should fit them!

Teacher Wan thought for a moment, then said,

“Guo Zisong, style name, Changsong.”

“May you, like the Evergreen, grow as you wish, grow as you think, and grow for a lifetime!”

Song Ge’er’s eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down, kowtowed, and bowed in thanks, “I thank Teacher Wan for bestowing this style name!”

Guo Changsong.

That’s right, it was the original style name!

Yuan Xueyue felt a pang in her heart, Guo Zisong, he had returned to his own path.

He would not lose!

With Teacher Wan’s early acceptance and the bestowed style name, this reputation was not something anyone could bear.

But Song Ge’er had done it.

Teacher Wan also greatly admired such a student, and reached out to pat his small shoulder, saying,

“Grow up quickly, achieve success in the examinations, I can’t wait to see it.”

Yuan Xueyue smiled, “Song Ge’er is only six years old now, it’s still early.”

Teacher Wan said, “It’s not too early. After the Provincial Examination, after the Metropolitan Examination, exceptional talents are born! Many young and promising scholars appear, and Song Ge’er is capable!”

Song Ge’er’s face was calm, but his gaze flickered towards Yuan Xueyue. He knew that by his mother’s side, he would not be lacking!

It was the day of Great Cold.

Heavy snow began to fall in the Capital City, and every household piled up firewood.

Xing Ge’er felt even more uncomfortable, and didn’t want to go to school at all!

It was colder and harder to walk than before!

When Ji Ge’er saw that Xing Ge’er wasn’t going, he also started to laze in bed. After all, they were both Eldest Sons of the General’s Residence, their mother wouldn’t favor anyone, and their grandmother didn’t really care about them. In the future, they were guaranteed a life of luxury!

As long as their father, the General, didn’t meet with any misfortune, he would be fine for the rest of his life!

Moreover, Ji Ge’er was the Eldest Son, and there were manors in the family property. Now, with the manor’s half-yearly harvest, he occasionally went to the Pear Garden to visit his mother and learned that there were several hundred taels!

It was really encouraging!

Ji Ge’er didn’t expect this dream to come true so quickly. Would the entire residence belong to him in the future?

He was so happy that he didn’t want to study boring books anymore!

His grandmother didn’t make things difficult, his mother didn’t scold him, and his father only occasionally came to the school to reprimand them, which was neither painful nor itchy!

When Yuan Xueyue heard that the two young masters hadn’t gone to school, she remained calm and continued to bury herself in copying things. She had also been influenced by Song Ge’er and gradually began to make progress.

Every word and line was beautiful!

Cuiping was puzzled, “Madam, are you really not going to say anything to them?”

Yuan Xueyue said, “You inform Manager Li in the Front Courtyard, and have him send someone to notify the school. Just say that the young masters don’t want to go.”

◈◈◈

Cuiping said, “Alright, I’ll go and tell him right away.”

What young masters, Eldest Son and Second Young Master, Yuan Xueyue only wanted to take care of Song Ge’er now!

Because he was teachable!

And because the two of them went to school, they had no idea that Song Ge’er’s relationship with his mother was getting better and better.

Song Ge’er always got up early to pay his respects to his mother, even on the days of Great Cold, through wind and rain, he spared no effort, almost driving his two brothers to death.

Because of this, Yuan Xueyue also studied diligently along with Song Ge’er. She had read some poetry and scriptures in Lucheng, so it wasn’t difficult. Her handwriting also had its own style.

On days of harsh wind and snow, Yuan Xueyue didn’t get up so early either, especially since her Mother-in-Law didn’t want to see her on such days.

Unexpectedly, Song Ge’er was waiting for her in the Main Hall.

Yuan Xueyue had no choice but to wash up and go, ordering Cuiping and the maids to prepare breakfast!

As soon as she entered the room, the charcoal fire was ready, and Song Ge’er looked very good. He had eaten well, drunk well, and lived well for half a year, and he had grown taller. Surprisingly, he hadn’t developed any laziness.

As soon as Song Ge’er saw Yuan Xueyue, he immediately bowed and said,

“Your son pays respects to Mother!”

Yuan Xueyue came over and helped him up, saying, “Why did you get up so early in such cold weather?”

“Teacher Wan isn’t coming today, she’ll be here tomorrow.”

Song Ge’er said indifferently, “It’s fine, your son is willing to come and accompany Mother.”

Yuan Xueyue smiled, “You, why do you have to work so hard? You can also learn from your two brothers. They won’t get up until Si Shi in this weather.”

Song Ge’er said, “Your son wouldn’t dare to do that, for fear of displeasing Mother.”

Yuan Xueyue was puzzled, “Mother won’t blame you, you can be lazy occasionally.”

In this lifetime, she didn’t want to be so conscientious.

Especially since Song Ge’er was so self-aware!

Song Ge’er hesitated and said, “Your son, your son just wants to spend more time with Mother.”

Yuan Xueyue was stunned, “…”

Yes, his thoughts were so simple, why should she say that?

“Alright, Mother misunderstood. Come, let’s eat.” Yuan Xueyue said.

At this time, Cuiping and the others also brought in breakfast, fragrant meat porridge, pastries, and delicious stir-fried dishes.

Song Ge’er’s eyes were filled with joy. He looked up at his mother beside him, she was so beautiful and kind!

If it were previous years, Song Ge’er might be in the kiln house in Lucheng, eating bran and vegetables!

He would also have to endure such harsh cold weather, shivering in a tattered Fur Coat, his hands and feet covered in frostbite!

Yuan Xueyue silently picked up her chopsticks to eat, her eyes inadvertently glancing at Song Ge’er beside her, who was raising his hand to eat.

Song Ge’er’s hand inadvertently appeared, that small hand with red and mottled marks, was very desolate!

Yuan Xueyue was shocked, and immediately grabbed his hand!

“What happened?” Yuan Xueyue said with heartache.

Song Ge’er didn’t care, and smiled,

“It’s nothing, Mother. It’s been frostbitten every year in Lucheng. My hands look like this on this day, and they’ll be fine in a couple of days.”

“It doesn’t hurt at all.”

Yuan Xueyue said, “How can it not hurt? Your hands are like this.”

Song Ge’er quickly said, “Your son won’t delay his studies and writing, please rest assured, Mother!”

Yuan Xueyue was stunned.

This child was always worried about not doing well, it was too heartbreaking!
