My understanding is, addressing by name or nickname is a form of endearment which usually exists between the couple…
Thank you so much! But still, why is it that the dudes are so generous with terms of endearment as compared to their wives? Is it a regional norm or a character setting?
I have a doubt about the customs. Why do the husbands refer to their wives by both nicknames and titles, while the wives only address the husbands as "my lord" or "dear"? Now, Daqiao has referred to Bi Zhi by his name while talking about him to others, and I think she's used it to address him once or twice? But Qiao Xiao has had a different experience. When she first called Wei Shao by name, he was like- "did you just use my name" (insert surprised face). The next time she used his name in a sentence (while talking about Su Ehuang's attraction to him), he was like- "you're pretty chill about about my name now, huh?" (or smthg like that). I don't think she's ever used it while addressing him any other time. So yeah, why is it such a big deal when the ladies do it / why do the ladies do it so infrequently?
That sentence is probably like 90% of the total number of things he's ever said to her maids.
(The full name example gave me chills yikes)
