Chapter 912: Two surnames (Part 2) [Please give me a monthly vote]
"Puff-"
The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and I heard a very small smile.
The little girl realized that she was rude, bit her lip and hid behind Kang Nian, and said in a muffled voice: "Please don''t blame me..."
The ears were so swelling that they wanted to drill into the cracks on the ground.
At first she was afraid of this cousin''s uncle, and the other party''s strange eyes made her want to dodge. When she saw her uncle panic, the nervousness instantly dissipated.
Kang Nian: "Miao''er didn''t do this when she was at home."
He was not blind. From Qi Shan''s reaction just now, he knew that the other party liked his daughter very much, and he immediately felt relieved. After changing the slightly stiff tone, there was a bit of intimacy among relatives, and chatting about family matters: "On a day, she is detained by her mother, but when she goes out, she adds a bit of childish appearance, which is also a surprise."
Qi Shan forced himself to move his eyes away.
He glanced at the literary charm engraved with "Qi Yuanliang", his eyes were filled with complexity. He put it back, took off another precious jade pendant that was as a meeting gift for his cousin''s niece, and led the father and daughter to the small hall where the tent was entertained.
Three people took their seats and prayed that they would pour tea for Kang Nian.
He said: "Children should have the nature of children. They are only a few years of carefree life. When they become adults, they know that the world cannot help themselves and it is difficult to find the original intention of young people. Is your father calling you ''Miao''er''? Is this a nickname or a big name?"
The last two sentences were said to my cousin.
Kang Miao whispered softly: "I''m a great name when I return to my uncle."
Qishan cooked a pot of thirsty water for Kang Miao.
Of course there are no fresh pears in this season, only pear slices. Put the pear slices into a pot and boil them, throw them into sugar cubes, wolfberry, and red dates, which tastes very beautiful. This way of drinking is done by my lord, which makes it easier to drink fruit tea in winter.
The upward and downward effects were somehow spread to the people.
There are similar tea shops in each street of Longwu County and Sibao County. When winter comes, this sweet and warm thirsty water is particularly popular. Qishan said, "This is the very popular Sydney thirsty water in Sibao County, and all children like it."
Kang Miao was flattered: "Thank you uncle."
Looking at the silver tea bowl her daughter was holding, and then looking at the one in her hand, Kang Nian couldn''t help but twitch the corners of her mouth. This cousin is really the same as Ji Shou said, without hiding his joys and angers, and he is so biased that he is blatant. He observed his cousin''s appearance again.
My cousin is not similar to his own daughter.
When he came, he was still thinking, if his mother was right, would Qi Shan stand with his daughter very much?
Will outsiders misunderstand that they are father and daughter?
Kang Nian thought about it, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Qi Shan: "Brother, have you encountered a good thing?"
Kang Nian continued to smile and said, "No, I just remembered that when Miao''er was born, her mother said that she looked like her aunt, and said that she was carved from the same mold as Yuanliang. When she came, she was worried about seeing Miao''er in a man..."
Qi Shan’s smile on the corner of his lips became stiff.
He said bitterly: "I will tell you my brother that I ruined my appearance when I was away in my early years, and now this skin is in disguise."
As he said that, he looked at Kang Miao: "It really looks like it."
"This is for my brother. I wanted to talk about family matters, but I didn''t want to provoke your sad things." Kang Nian exclaimed that Qi Shan''s disguise was seamless. He didn''t see any flaws, and at the same time he felt embarrassed. As the other party''s cousin, he came to see his cousin today to reminisce about the past, but he never found that the other party''s appearance was bad. Isn''t this just telling the other party that he doesn''t remember anyone?
Ordinary people are already angry when they realize this.
Qi Shan seemed to have not noticed it.
The smile returned to warmth, and he said with concern: "I am only the fifth day of the first lunar month today. Why are my brother here? Is he still bringing Miao''er with me?"
Kang Nian sighed and told the reason.
I am here to send hostages, and Kang Miao is also a hostage.
Qi Shan: “…”
Has this aristocratic family been dealt with?
In order to ensure the stability of various places, the lord will definitely want some hostages to be under his nose in the future, but this matter is not a good thing for the aristocratic families. They don’t have to come and see them off, right? After hearing that there were many daughters with cultivation qualifications among the hostages, he changed his evaluation - the aristocratic family is really a thief!
Qi Shan disagreed and said, "How old is Miao''er?"
"How can I not know that the hostages are in a difficult situation? It''s just that Miao''er has been away for a few years. In the past six months, other families have been asking for information. Your sister-in-law has accumulated a lot of pictures, all of which are good-for-family... It''s nothing wrong with this, but when I think of this child in the first half of his life in the Kang family''s back house and the rest of his life, and when I think of the free and casual female lords around Shen Jun, I always feel that I have treated her badly. I''ve sent her this time, and I have the intention of bothering you and Ji Shou..."
With these two people supporting him, who dares to bully Kangmiao?
The above is just one of the reasons why Kang Nian made the decision. The most fundamental purpose is to take this opportunity to win over Qi Shan and Kang Shi. No matter how many years Kang Guo can exist, at least during the continuation of Kang Guo''s generation, both of them were important officials in the center of power.
If you can win them over—
The Kang family will definitely go to a higher level.
Kangnian doesn’t have to worry about the development in the next decade.
However, these cold profit calculations will always make people frown and need to be covered with a fig leaf. Especially for people like Kang Shi and Qishan, it is particularly outstanding. They are already in the vortex of struggle and will yearn for emotional comfort.
For them, it is best to use feelings as excuses.
Qixiang without thinking: “This is nature.”
Kang Nian didn''t expect the progress to be so smooth.
Pour tea again, Kangnian’s topic revolves more about the changes in the Kang family over the years, and from time to time, they will mention the academic personality of the children under their knees. After the warmth was almost over, Kang Niancai asked with a smile: "Ji Shou sent a letter from home. When he mentioned you, he was worried that you would be dedicated to assisting Shen Jun''s dignity and not interested in the family business?"
Qi Shan said, "I have no intention of this."
Kang Nian shook his head seriously: "This is not possible."
Qi Shan didn''t expect Kang Nian to urge her to get married and give birth, and suddenly felt a bitter face: "This kind of thing still depends on fate."
Kang Nian asked: "What if fate never comes?"
Qi Shan said firmly: "I don''t want to give in."
Kang Nian brought out his father: "My father was still thinking about you before he died. Although he didn''t say anything, he always hoped that you could take your wife and children to Kang''s house. My aunt''s boudoir has always been kept, and there are servants cleaning it every day."
Qishan chose to remain silent on this issue.
He knew little about the conflict between Qi and Kang. In order not to reveal flaws, he sent someone to investigate later. Judging from the results of the investigation, it seems that the Qi family is lonely and is incompatible with the Kang family, so the Kang family tried their best to stop the marriage.
In addition to the issue of the portal, there is also the father "Qixiang". He is really not a good match. The only thing he can show off is his appearance and eloquence, and he is accustomed to coaxing people. The mother who "prays to be kind" was raised in the boudoir, and she was too simple and was scumbag.
He wants to get married despite his opposition.
I had a very irritating situation with Kang for this and I haven’t had any contact for many years.
Kang Nian sighed, "My father passed away for many years..."
Qi Shan was shocked: "When did Uncle Kang go?"
"It''s been a few years..." Kang Nian was vague about this, obviously not wanting to get involved in this issue. "You have no intention of getting married, and the Qi family has withered. How can you revitalize it?"
Qi Shan said his plan: "Just adoption."
Kang Nian was overjoyed and answered in his heart: "There are only some elderly people left in Qi family. Where can you adopt them?"
If you are adoptive, you naturally have to choose one with similar blood ties.
Qi Shan also took the opportunity to say his plan: "I will not hide it from my brother, I want to adopt a child from the Kang family."
Best, be closer to "Pray for goodness".
The children of Kangnian brothers are the closest blood relationship. Qi Shan originally wanted to squat Kang Jishou''s child, but this cheap cousin, the reincarnation of the plague god, could not even solve the problem of being single, let alone having children. The clan leader''s lineage will not easily adopt it, so the range of choices available for Qishan is smaller, leaving only the second and third brothers in Kang Shi. Qishan has not yet investigated how many children these two have, and has not decided which one to adopt.
Nowadays—
Don’t worry.
No one is more suitable than Kangmiao. Kang Nian took Kang Miao to see him, and deliberately guided the topic to the child, so Qi Shan knew his true purpose. Even though there is a plan in between, he can be seen in Kang Miao''s face.
Kang Nian sighed: "Including those who died young, there are not many children in the main branch of the clan who have passed away in recent years, but there are suitable children in the side branch. But the blood relationship is far away and I have started to raise it halfway. If someone is willing to adopt it, it is better to be caring about the biological children."
Qi Shan suddenly asked, "When is Miao''er''s birth date?"
Kang Nian smiled and said, "It''s a coincidence."
"Where did it come from?"
"Miao''er and Yuanliang, your birthday is the same day." As he said that, he suddenly thought of something, "If you are determined to adopt one, what do you think of Miao''er? You look similar and your birthday is the same, but you are more destined to be more destined than my biological father."
Kang Nian was jealous of half truth and half falsehood.
Qi Shan''s expression fell into a flash of vain again.
“The same birthday?”
"Yes, I heard from my mother."
Although the two families were stiff due to a marriage, they were relatives after all, and their sister gave birth to a child. The Kang family also sent someone to give a full moon gift, so they knew Qi Shan’s birth date and horoscope. When Kang Miao was born, the elders in the family were filled with emotion.
Qi Shan''s lips moved: "Same..."
He came to his senses and asked Kang Miao how old he is now.
Kang Miao said respectfully: "It''s 11th."
Qi Shan murmured: "It''s eleven, eleven years old..."
[This age, this appearance, this birthday... Qi Yuanliang, tell me, are you back? 】
Qi Shan seemed to have forgotten the existence of Kang Nian’s father and daughter. His eyes were filled with red silk at some time, and there was still a faint sense of crystal tears. His reaction made Kang Nian confused - adopting a ready-made daughter is a good thing, but, as for how moved it is?
In the blink of an eye, Qi Shan returned to his usual beauty.
The tears are gone.
Qi Shan said, "This child is indeed destined to be with me. However, don''t be anxious about adoption, you always need time to prepare."
Hearing him say "no hurry", he thought he was going to be rejected.
I was completely relieved after hearing the text.
Kang Nian smiled and said, "This is natural."
Qi Shan: "Can you agree with your sister-in-law?"
The child is born from the stomach, and adoption is different from other people. Legally speaking, once adopted, Kang Miao is the daughter of praying for goodness, and she becomes cousin with the original Kang family and can no longer recognize her parents. How could Kang Nian''s wife easily respond?
Kang Nian smiled awkwardly: "Isn''t this a temporary intention?"
If his wife didn''t know, how could she have a cold war with him? Just for the sake of my daughter''s future, I also agreed to it with great pain. Kang Nian naturally couldn''t say it on the spot, and once he said it, it was revealed that it was a premeditation. He only said that he would write a letter to ask his wife for her opinion.
Kang Nian didn''t expect that the biggest objection to this matter was not his wife, but his bad brother. He tricked Qi Shan in the morning and agreed, and in the afternoon he received the rumor of wind and called him.
"No, I can''t agree to this!"
Kang Nian was helpless: "Ji Shou, there is always a reason, right?"
"Brother, do you know what his name is?" Kang Shi naturally couldn''t come up and took Qi Shan''s vest. After a flash of his mind, he finally found a suitable reason, "He is a bad plot! You adopt your niece to him, but the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!"
Kang Nian asked why, but he didn''t expect it was this.
He said calmly: "So what about bad plot?"
There are few good people who can live a good life in this world: "If Miao''er can learn skills, it will be Miao''er''s blessing."
A good person is bullied, and a horse is ridden by others.
There is nothing wrong with using evil means to protect yourself.
Kang Shi was so anxious that he was wandering back and forth in the camp, hesitating. At this time, Kang Miao came back. When Kang Shi saw this face, he knew what Qi Shan was planning. The objection became even more intense, and even blurted out: "It would be better to find a woman of the right age in the clan to marry him. It would be better to have a look similar to Miao''er... Force a marriage, and he will obey!"
Kang Nian was so angry that he scolded Kang Shi.
"Bastard! What nonsense are you talking about?"
What does it mean to choose a woman who looks a bit like Miao''er and forcefully marry her cousin? Kang Miao wants to be adopted by Qishan, these two are legitimate father and daughter! Is this like something a uncle should say?
Kang Miao also had a white face and was at a loss.
For a moment, Kang Shi couldn''t explain it all over his body.
In the end, the truth was revealed.
"Wonryu was dead many years ago!"
Now it was Kang Nian''s turn to have an empty expression: "What?"
Kang Shi covered his face and finished the rest with a tough bullet. However, he did not directly reveal Qi Shan’s true vest, but just said that Qi Shan has received the life-saving grace of True and Kid. In order to repay his kindness, Qi Shan has always taken care of Qi as a true and Kid, just to let "Ji Shan" live in the world.
"Brother, I have recognized this younger brother for a long time. I have worked with him for many years. I know that his reputation in the outside world is not good, but he is a kind and stubborn person in his bones. He wants to help "Yuanliang" revitalize the Qi family. I mean, let him choose someone close to "Yuanliang" from the Kang family. He just wants to adopt him and never get married in this life. He cannot completely erase his existence because of life-saving grace, and give up everything he has done now. Brother, this is unfair!"
Kang Nian''s expression is much more complicated.
Whether it is Zhen Yuanliang or the fake Yuanliang now, he has no feelings for him, and what he cares more about is the Kang family.
"Why don''t you help him?"
Kang Shi suddenly widened his eyes: "Brother!"
The tone was faintly angry.
Kang Nian sighed and looked up at his fourth brother: "Ji Shou, since his father and Erlang left, the only ones that could speak and discuss with me for my brother were left. You also know that Sanlang''s body. How difficult it is to support the family in these years, do you understand?"
Kang Shi opened his mouth: "Brother..."
"It doesn''t matter whether he is Yuanliang. What''s important is that he is a ''bad plot''. You also say that he has been in a knot in his heart over the years. Isn''t it just right to let Miao''er solve it now? You look down on the plot, but Brother Wei is not completely without a trace of sincerity."
The two brothers fell into a long silence.
Kang Nian said again: "You should tell your brother Wei earlier. If you have told me about this, how can you take it back? Let''s discuss with him that as long as he treats Miao''er like his biological daughter, Miao''er will get married in the future, the first child will follow the Qi family, and the second child will follow his family''s surname. If you have both surnames, is it the best of both worlds?"
Kang Shi felt unfamiliar when he looked at such a brother.
"If I told you earlier..."
"Miao''er is the best candidate." Kang Nian did not hide it, "As you said, he couldn''t refuse this face."

Kang Miao must be adopted. Yuanliang wants multiple daughters, so he no longer has to envy Wuhui for having a small cotton-padded jacket.
