After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Chapter 165 Nickname: Iron Egg

Jia Hu came over and poked his younger brother's face. Jia Lian didn't cry or fuss, but laughed and drooled. Jia Hu was a little disgusted.

Seeing Jia Hu's expression, Zhang smiled and wiped the drool from Jia Lian's mouth.

"Oh dear, Mom, we need to wipe it off quickly, otherwise Brother will dislike us and won't like the chain anymore."

Jia Hu smiled and continued poking.

"Has your younger brother already been named?"

Zhang nodded. "Your grandfather got up a long time ago."

Everyone already knows that this kid's name is Jia Lian; Hu'er has said it to herself so many times.

Jia Hu looked at his younger brother, who reached out to grab him, but suddenly remembered...

"Mom, let's give my little brother a nickname!"

Zhang looked at her two sons.

"Get up what?"

Jia Hu:

"Mom, let me name my little brother!"

Zhang knew at a glance that Hu'er was up to no good.

"Fine, he's the younger brother, and you're the older brother."

Jia Hu grinned slyly.

"Let's call him Iron Egg!"

"what?"

Zhang was surprised at how Tiedan came up with this idea.

Jia Hu said coquettishly:

“Mother, I heard people say that it’s easier to raise a child if you give him a humble name.”

While this is one explanation, more likely, Jia Hu was reminded of what Jia Lian had done before.

Although it has nothing to do with my current younger brother, I still want to give him a nickname.

If he ever makes me angry in the future, I'll call him by his nickname. This will become my younger brother's embarrassing history, so I need to create it in advance.

Zhang smiled helplessly:

"Alright! It's only allowed to call out in private at home. When you get older, you absolutely mustn't call out in public."

Zhang knew that Hu'er had always been a good child. If Hu'er did something wrong, it must be because of Lian'er. She wondered what Hu'er had done to upset her in the future.

Furthermore, there is indeed a saying that giving a child a humble name makes them easier to raise.

In that case, it's fine to name Hu'er that.

Upon hearing his mother's agreement, Jia Hu exclaimed happily:

"Little brother, from now on your name will be Tiedan, Jia Tiedan! Hahaha!"

Jia Lian responded enthusiastically to his brother's words, waving his little hands incessantly, trying to grab his brother's hand, and smiling with his mouth wide open.

Jia Hu was delighted.

"Mom, look, my little brother likes it too. What a great name I came up with, Tiedan."

Zhang looked helplessly at Jia Lian, who was grinning foolishly. She thought he would cry when he grew up and understood things.

The brothers were getting along well, but the old woman and maid standing nearby couldn't help but laugh.

Young Master, really! When Young Master Lian finds out, I wonder how he'll cry!

Jia Hu took his younger brother's hand; it was time to get down to business.

"Mother, the Emperor has ordered my grandfather and me to go on a southern tour."

Zhang was holding and looking at Jia Lian's little clothes when she heard this and paused for a moment.

"Hu'er, what are you saying? You're so young, yet the Emperor has asked you and your grandfather to go on a southern tour together!"

Left with no other choice, Jia Hu told them what had happened.

Madam Zhang was completely astonished. She knew that with her son's talent and miraculous remedies, the Emperor would always be curious and would definitely want to meet Hu'er.

But I never expected it to be in this form. The southern tour was long and arduous, and I had no idea what the situation would be like on the way.

Although we are with the Emperor, there are other dangers as well. Hu'er is so young and has never been on a long trip before!

This is my first time going on a long trip, and to such a far place at that. How can I not feel at ease?

Jia Hu looked at Zhang Shi with a worried expression, then smiled and took her hand, saying:

“Mother, you know me. Besides, there’s also my grandfather and great-uncle.”

My grandfather said that the youngest grandson of the emperor is going too, as is my cousin, so it will definitely be very safe.

"If there were any danger, how could the Emperor possibly bring his young grandson along?"

Looking at her son, Zhang felt a warmth in her heart. Her son was so young, yet he had thought of everything so thoroughly.

The eunuch has already said that everything must have been decided beforehand, and how can the Emperor's golden words be changed!

Zhang hugged Jia Hu and said, "Mother is fine. Mother is just a little worried about you. You've never been on a long trip before."

Jia Hu raised his arm, making a gesture of flexing his muscles, and rubbed his arm.

"Mom, look at all these muscles I have, I'm not even afraid of a tiger."

Looking at him, winking and making funny faces to make her laugh, Zhang suppressed her worry, reached out and pinched Jia Hu's little arm, and chuckled:

"Our Hu'er is a little man now. When you're out, stay close to your grandfather and the others and don't run around. Do you understand?"

Jia Hu nodded obediently in agreement.

Zhang gave him many more instructions, which Jia Hu listened to very carefully. Although his mother lived in the compound, her knowledge and experience were far superior to many others.

Thinking that her maternal grandfather could become a Grand Tutor, how could her mother, with her keen and insightful mind, be anything less?

Zhang talked a lot, until Xiao Jialian realized that no one had come to take care of him for a long time.

As soon as it heard someone's voice, it started screaming.

Jia Hu laughed and said:

"Mother, I've remembered everything, so don't worry. My little brother is even jealous."
