Chapter 337: Chapter 141: Thousand Character Classic

Looking at the chubby little baby blowing bubbles, Yun Rui suddenly asked, lifting his head with bright eyes towards Yun Wanye.

Yun Wanye: “…”

He was slightly stunned, looking at Yun Wanqing in his arms, then at the others. Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanyao were clearly just like him.

Oh right, their little sister was born quite a while ago, and they’ve always been calling her either little sister or Xiao Si, still unaware of her actual name.

“Dad, Mom, what’s little sister’s name?”

Yun Rui: “…”

How come even second brother doesn’t know the little sister’s name?

Yun Wanqing: “…”

[Second brother, can you manage or not, how could you not know my name?]

[Could it be that Dad and Mom haven’t given me a name yet?]

[No way, no way, am I really nameless in this life too?]

Yun Wanqing had never thought about this issue; if the little guy hadn’t brought it up today, who knows how long she would have ignored it?

[What was my name in the story? Let me think carefully.]

[Oh, in the story, this super cannon fodder of mine seems to never have a name mentioned; Dad, Mom, and Seventh Uncle have always called me Xiao Si, and the brothers and sisters call me little sister, while outsiders call me Fourth Miss~]

“I remember Mom said to Dad when she was pregnant: if it’s a boy, name him Yun Wanye, and if it’s a girl, name her Yun Wanning, right Mom?”

A flash of inspiration suddenly crossed Yun Wanyao’s mind, vaguely recalling some blurred memories.

She turned her head, somewhat uncertainly seeking confirmation from Lady Yun.

Lady Yun smiled slightly, yet before she could speak, the little baby’s joyful thoughts echoed aloud.

[Wow, really, really?]

[Did Mom name me something with the same pronunciation as my previous life?]

[Is this coincidence, or destiny?]

Hearing these inner thoughts, everyone was stunned, so was she named Yun Wanning in her previous life?

Of all people, Lady Yun felt it the deepest.

Because the little one’s name indeed had that pronunciation, and she had chosen it.

At the time, she had listed many names with her husband, but she liked that one the most, and finally settled on it.

Destined amid the unknown, Xiao Si was meant to be a part of her family.

Lady Yun snapped out of her thoughts, nodded with a smile, and said, “Yes, Xiao Si’s name is indeed Yun Wanqing. ’Ning’ is chosen as ’Ning Ning’, not the ’An Ning’.”

The latter ’Ning’ means peace and stability, which is a good meaning by itself, but adding a ’Wan’ makes its overall meaning not so good.

Hence, she chose a homophone ’Ning’.

[Ah ah ah ah ah, that’s right, it’s indeed the ’Ning Ning’.]

[Even the characters are exactly the same, Mom truly is my destined mother.]

[Love you, Mom, mua~]

Yun Wanqing, with a heart full of joy, had her mouth curved into a high smile, her face filled with happiness, obvious to anyone.

Yun Wanye curled his lips, looking at her, teasing on purpose.

“Oh my, why is little sister suddenly so happy, did you understand us discussing your name?”

[…]

Well, duh?

Internally, Yun Wanqing rolled her eyes, her mouth twitching slightly.

Forget it, forget it, second brother doesn’t know she reincarnated with memories, so she wouldn’t disdain him.

[Oh dear, almost forgot something very important.]

Ignoring Yun Wanye, Yun Wanqing suddenly thought of something crucial, and everyone immediately perked up, curious about what significant thing she had forgotten.

[Since Dad and Mom adopted this little guy, wouldn’t this little guy be the fourth? So, will everyone have to start calling me Xiao Wu?]

[Suddenly being forced to change ranking, I feel a little unused to it…]

Everyone: “…”

The little baby’s thoughts really are quite lively.

After that, except for Yun Zhan who was away from home, everyone in the Yun Family gave Yun Rui a greeting gift.

Yun Zheng gave an Enlightenment Master, Lady Yun gave a longevity lock, Yun Wanchen gave hidden books, Yun Wanye gave a hidden sword, Yun Wanyao gave a puppy…

Even Yin Shuang didn’t miss out.

Upon hearing the Yun Family couple adopted a boy, she immediately went to the market, carefully picking a colt and giving it to Yun Rui.

As for Yun Wanqing, she internally shouted about wanting to give her golden pendant to the little guy, but everyone acted oblivious, not willing to reveal they could understand her thoughts.

Her gift naturally remained temporarily undelivered.

In a blink, two days passed.

Yun Rui was already well acquainted with the Yun Family; the little guy didn’t talk much, nor did he love smiling, but he was very well-mannered.

He absolutely stayed away from places he shouldn’t go, and didn’t touch things he shouldn’t touch, nothing like a wild child with no parents or guidance, making Lady Yun even more curious about his identity.

However, curiosity is curiosity, and Lady Yun didn’t ask further.

At noon, the sunlight was just right.

On the soft bed by the window, Yun Rui held a book, sitting next to Yun Wanqing, his dark, beautiful eyes earnestly looking at her.

“Sister, I learned Thousand Characters Classic today. Master said it’s a must-learn enlightening rhyme and the first lesson I need to study. Shall I recite it to you?”

In aristocratic families, all children must learn the Six Arts of a gentleman.

Though Yun Rui was adopted, since the Yun Family couple said they would treat him as their own, he was no exception.

The Six Arts of a gentleman: propriety, music, archery, charioteering, writing, and mathematics.

Shooting, charioteering, and music were taught personally by Yun Wanchen and Yun Wanye, while the rest were passed down from masters, yet to start.

Yun Wanqing, dangling her little feet, was initially drowsy from the sun, but perked up instantly upon hearing his words.

[Sure, recite it to me, let’s see how well you’ve learned it.]

[With your memory, this should be a piece of cake, right?]

“Ahem…”

Yun Rui cleared his throat and slowly began to recite: “The sky is black and yellow, the universe is vast. The sun and moon shine, the constellations are arranged. Cold comes and summer goes, autumn harvest and winter stores. The leap overtakes the year, harmonizing yin and yang, clouds swell and make rain, dew condenses into frost. Gold originates from rippling waters, jade emerges from Kunlun mountains…”

A thousand characters, a tea’s time was spent reciting, not rushed or slow, very standard pronunciation, Yun Wanqing applauded him in her heart.

[Wow, this memory is truly phenomenal.]

[21st-century kindergarten kids learn this in parts, and it takes a long time for each section.]

[This little guy, after just one day, recites it so standardly, impressive.]

[His master dare teach him so much, probably knowing his amazing memory, I wonder if the master feels having found treasure, I certainly do.]

[…]

On the side, Lady Yun occasionally glanced at the two little ones, her lips forming a slight smile.

Compared to others, Yun Rui seemed to prefer the little baby more these two days; whenever free, he would stay by the little baby’s side talking to her.

It’s strange; clearly, it was Ye’er who took him in, shouldn’t he like Ye’er the most?
