"Shen Jin, go wash the fruit your elder sister and Prince Xuan picked so everyone can have a taste." Gu Zhentang pointed to the basket by the wall. "My daughter and Prince Xuan just picked these from the mountain. We don't have much in our village to treat you all with, so please don't mind."
"How could we mind? Fruit picked fresh from the mountains is the best; it's so fresh, nothing like what we get in the Capital. And you, in-law, stop calling him Prince Xuan every other sentence. Just call him Zirui or Hengyuan. It's much warmer that way. He's your son-in-law, so don't stand on ceremony just because of his status. We aren't that formal here." Meng Yuanli felt it grating on his ears every time Gu Zhentang addressed his grandson as Prince Xuan.
"Uncle Gu, please keep calling me Zirui just like before. Don't grow distant from me just because of my title. If you keep calling me that, Ranran will think I'm using my status to pressure you and she'll get furious with me." Chu Hengyuan was the most eager for Gu Zhentang to change how he addressed him.
