In ancient times, people attached great importance to names. Generally, children's names are taken by their elders, and even a person's attention at home can be seen from their names, especially in a large family like Jia. This is like Lin Hongyu's word "Jade", which was changed to "Little Red" because it violated the taboos of Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. However, there is a strange phenomenon. Wang Xifeng's daughter Qiaojie was actually named after Grandma Liu, and Wang Xifeng also asked Qiaojie to recognize Grandma Liu as a foster mother. Generally speaking, it is profitable to recognize an adoptive mother. For example, many servants struggle to recognize Wang Xifeng as a foster mother just for shade, and the princess recognizes Tanchun as a foster daughter so that Tanchun can replace her daughter and relatives. Strangely, however, Wang Xifeng, a poor peasant like grandma Liu, wanted her to be her daughter's foster mother. So what is Wang Xifeng's intention? Let's see:

First of all, in the past, rich families were pampered and couldn't stand the wind and rain. Like Qiaojie, she was ill, because she ate a cake in the wind, but Banel was free to run in the cemetery. Therefore, "longevity" has become what these wealthy families are most willing to pursue. Granny Liu is old, but her health is still strong. Therefore, just as Xifeng said, "I'll lend you my life", only "poor people" like Grandma Liu Can have pinned Qiaojie down, which shows that it is not easy to recognize the foster mother.

Speaking of names, big families in ancient times gave their children some "base names" for fear that their children would not grow up, so that they could live a good life. For example, in Song Wudi in the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the fine print means to send slaves. Also, the lady dowager had the word "Baoyu" written, and people called it everywhere, which is the same reason. Since Qiaojie appeared, she has either "acne rash" or "fever", which shows that her health is not good. Xifeng naturally noticed it, and she was also worried about raising Qiaojie. Granny Liu is called Granny Liu because she was born in poverty, so it may make Sister Qiao "easy to raise".
