Chapter 106 Qin Xinyao

After Jiang Man successfully gave birth to her daughter, the whole family seemed to be enveloped in a warm and sweet glow.

Every corner was filled with the joy and hope brought by the new life, and giving this little angel a suitable name became the most important and interesting thing for the whole family.

In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the window and gently fell on the sofa in the living room.

Qin Yishen sat there, with various books scattered on the coffee table beside him in a messy yet orderly fashion.

Ancient and evocative classics like the Book of Songs and the Songs of Chu stand shoulder to shoulder with modern name-giving guides.

He was focused, his slender fingers gently turning the pages, his eyes darting between the lines. Every time he caught a favorite word, it was as if he had discovered a precious treasure, and he would quickly pick up a pen and write it down on the paper next to him.

Jiang Man leaned against him, holding a thick dictionary in her hands, her eyes equally focused. She would stop from time to time, muttering to herself, pondering the meaning and pronunciation of a certain word.

Just then, accompanied by light footsteps, Shi An and Shi Ning, like two cheerful little birds, rushed out of the room.

They squeezed between their parents, one on each side, eagerly.

Shi An's eyes darted curiously among the books on the table before she asked first, "Mom and Dad, are you looking for a name for your little sister?"

Qin Yishen smiled indulgently, gently patted his head, and said, "Yes, baby, your little sister's name is very important. You guys should also help come up with some ideas and help us come up with a really nice name for her."

Shi Ning's eyes instantly lit up like twinkling stars, and she eagerly interjected, "I think 'Qin Tangtang' sounds wonderful! My little sister's smile is so sweet, just like candy."

After saying that, she couldn't help but giggle, her clear laughter sounding like a string of melodious wind chimes.

Jiang Man smiled and gently pinched her little nose, saying, "This name is indeed very cute, just like our little sweetheart. But, let's think about it some more and see if there's a more unique and meaningful name."

Shi An tilted his head, his little face full of serious thought. After a while, his eyes lit up and he said, "How about we name her 'Qin Yueran'? I hope my little sister is happy every day, and that she can be joyful no matter what she sees or encounters."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yishen nodded in approval: "Yes, the name we chose for our son is very meaningful, and it's also easy to pronounce and has a positive and uplifting feel to it."

Jiang Man also cast an approving glance and said, "Yueran is indeed a good name. Just hearing it makes you feel full of sunshine and happiness. If my sister had this name, she would definitely be an optimistic and cheerful little girl."

The family's discussion grew increasingly heated, with everyone chiming in and generating a constant stream of novel and interesting ideas.

Jiang Man pointed to a character in the dictionary and said, "I saw the character '萱' in the dictionary. It represents daylilies, a plant that symbolizes forgetting worries. How about 'Qin Xuan Yao'? Yao also means beautiful jade. I hope our daughter can be as precious as beautiful jade, living a carefree and trouble-free life." Qin Yishen frowned slightly, lost in thought. After a moment, he slowly said, "'Xuan Yao' is indeed a beautiful name, with a wonderful meaning and it sounds pleasant. However, I thought of another one, 'Qin Wan Xi,' taken from the Book of Songs, 'There is a beautiful woman, graceful and charming.' I hope our daughter can be as gentle and graceful as described in the poem, possessing the temperament and charm of a classical beauty."

Upon hearing this, Shi An and Shi Ning's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Shi Ning clapped her little hands and said in a childish voice, "Sister Wanxi, it sounds so nice! It feels as elegant as a fairy."

Shi An chimed in, "Yes, it sounds so poetic. My sister would definitely have a very elegant air with this name."

However, even with so many good options available, people still felt that they needed to consider things more carefully.

After all, this is the name that will accompany my sister for the rest of her life, and there is no room for carelessness.

So Qin Yishen enthusiastically suggested several more names, such as "Qin Shiya," hoping that his daughter would have an elegant temperament and rich inner qualities under the influence of poetry; and "Qin Yuwei," meaning that his daughter is like a rose in the rain, with both delicate beauty and strong qualities, able to bravely face the storms of life.

Jiang Man was not to be outdone. She thought of "Qin Nianchu" and hoped that her daughter would never forget her original intention and always maintain that innocence and kindness, no matter what she encountered on her path of growth.

In the following days, naming the baby became a great joy for the whole family.

Whether at the dinner table or during bedtime family time, whenever the family gets together, the conversation will naturally turn to the baby's name.

They not only delve into the meaning behind the name, but also repeatedly recite it, carefully appreciating its phonetic beauty, striving to find the most perfect choice.

One day, Shi An came home from school and excitedly waved his books as soon as he entered the house, shouting to his family members who were in the living room, "Mom and Dad, I learned a really good character at school today—'Xin'. The teacher said it represents the feeling of hope when the sun is about to rise. I think, how about naming my little sister 'Qin Xinyao'? It has both new hope and is as precious as a beautiful jade."

Jiang Man and Qin Yishen exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with surprise and agreement. Qin Yishen said excitedly, "The use of the character '昕' is brilliant. It signifies a new beginning and boundless hope. Paired with the character '瑶,' it complements each other perfectly, creating a harmonious and beautiful effect."

Jiang Man nodded vigorously and said, "Moreover, 'Xinyao' sounds crisp and clear, yet it also has a gentle feel to it, just like our little princess's personality, lively and cute."

Shi Ning, who was standing to the side, understood what was going on and immediately clapped her hands and exclaimed, "Xin Yao, this name is so beautiful! I love it!"

After repeated discussions, screenings, and deliberations by the whole family, they finally decided to name their beloved little princess "Qin Xinyao".

This name is like a treasure box filled with love and expectations, carrying the deepest blessings from her whole family.

They hope that Qin Xinyao will be like the rising sun, full of vibrant hope and boundless energy, shining brightly on her life's journey; and like a beautiful jade, warm and precious, enjoying a lifetime of happiness and care under the protection and love of her family, radiating her own unique brilliance.
