Chapter 912 Chapter 912: Two Surnames (Part 2) [Please vote]
“Pfft——”
The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and I heard a tiny laugh.
The little girl realized that she was rude, bit her lip and hid behind Kang Nian, saying in a low voice: "Uncle, please don't blame me..."
The roots of her ears were red with embarrassment, and she wanted to crawl into the cracks of the ground.
She was initially afraid of her uncle, and the strange look in his eyes made her want to dodge. But when she saw her uncle panicking and taking the wrong monogram, her nervousness dissipated instantly.
Kang Nian: "Miaoer is not like this when he is at home."
He is not blind. From Qi Shan's reaction just now, he knew that Qi Shan liked his daughter very much, and he was immediately relieved. He changed his slightly stiff tone and became more intimate with relatives, chatting about home affairs: "I am usually restrained by her mother-in-law, but when I come out, I have a childish look, which is an unexpected surprise."< br>
Qi Shan forced himself to look away.
He glanced at the monogram engraved with "Qi Shi Yuanliang", his eyes were full of complexity, he put it back on, took off another jade pendant that looked precious at first glance, and gave it to the watch. The niece served as a welcome gift and led the father and daughter to the small hall inside the tent where guests were entertained.
The three of them sat down and poured tea for Kangnian.
Said: "Children should have the nature of a child. The carefree years are only a few years. When you become an adult, you will know that the world is not yours, and it is difficult to find the original intention of youth. I just listened to you. Father calls you 'Miao'er'? Is this your nickname or your famous name?"
The last two sentences are for my cousin.
Kang Miao whispered softly: "Uncle, it's your name."
Qi Shan boiled a pot of snow pear water for Kang Miao.
Of course there are no fresh pears this season, only pear slices. Put the pear slices into a pot and boil, add sugar cubes, wolfberry, and red dates. The taste is very delicious. This way of drinking was invented by my boss, so that I can drink fruit tea in winter.
What works well and works well, it has spread to the people for some reason.
Every street in Longwu County and Sibao County has similar tea shops. In winter, this sweet and hot thirsty water is especially popular. Qishan said: "This is the popular Sydney pear thirsty water in Sibao County. Children like it."
Kang Miao was flattered: "Thank you, uncle."
Look at her daughter holding the cup Looking at the silver tea bowl in his hand, Kangnian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This cousin is really like what Ji Shou said. He doesn't hide his emotions and anger, and his partiality is blatant. He also observed his cousin's appearance.
My cousin is not similar to my daughter.
When he came, he was still thinking, if his mother was right, wouldn’t Qishan and his daughter look alike if they stood together?
Will outsiders misunderstand that they are father and daughter?
Kangnian thought about it with a smile on his lips.
Qishan: "Did something good happen to my brother?"
Kangnian 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 that she was carved from the same mold as Yuanliang. So when Wei brother came, he was worried about seeing her The beauty of a man's body..."
The smile on Qishan's lips stiffened.
He said bitterly: "To be honest with my brother, my appearance was ruined when I was out in the early years, and now this skin is just a disguise."
As he said this, he looked at Kang Miao: "It's really similar. . ”
“This is because of my brother. I wanted to talk about family matters, but I didn’t want to. Provoking sadness in you." Kang Nian marveled at Qishan's disguise, and he didn't see any flaws at all. At the same time, he felt embarrassed - as his cousin, he came to visit his cousin today to reminisce, but he didn't notice his appearance. If you are sick, isn't this just telling the other person that you don't remember him?
Ordinary people would be angry if they realized this.
Qishan didn’t seem to notice.
The smile returned to its warmth, and he asked with concern: "It's only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, why are you here, brother, and bringing Miao'er with you?"
Kang Nian sighed and told the reason.
I am here to deliver the hostages, and Kang Miao is also a hostage.
Qishan: "..."
Has something wrong with this family been dealt with?
For the sake of stability in various places, the lord will definitely need some hostages under his nose in the future, but this is not a good thing for the family. They can't rush to send them away, right? After hearing that there were many daughters with cultivation qualifications among the hostages, he changed his assessment again - the aristocratic family is really a chicken thief!
Qi Shan disagreed and said: "How old is Miao'er?"
"Brother, how come you don't know that the hostages are in a difficult situation? It's just that Miao'er has been away from Ji Ji for a few years, and in the past six months, other sons have been here one after another. After asking for information, your sister-in-law has accumulated a lot of scrolls, all of which are well-matched... Click There is nothing wrong with this, but when I think about this child spending the first half of her life in the Kang family's back house, and the second half of her life in the back house of an unknown family, and thinking about the free and unrestrained ladies around Shen Jun, I always feel that she has been treated badly. I sent her here with the intention of troubling you and Ji Shou..."
With the support of these two people, who dares to bully Kang Miao?
The above is just one of the reasons for Kang Nian’s 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 as long as Kang Guo's generation lasts, the two of them will be important ministers in the center of power.
If we can win them over——
The Kang family will surely reach a higher level.
Kang Nian doesn’t have to worry about the development of the next ten years.
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 Qi Shan, it is particularly outstanding. They are already in a vortex of struggle and will yearn for emotional comfort.
For them, the best excuse is to use emotions.
Qi Shan said without hesitation: "This is natural."
Kang Nian did not expect it to go so smoothly.
Pouring tea again, Kang Nian’s topics mostly revolved around the changes in the Kang family over the years, and from time to time he would mention the academic personalities of his children. When the warm-up was almost over, Kang Nian asked with a smile: "When Ji Shou sent you a letter from home earlier, when he mentioned you, he was still worried that you were only interested in assisting Shen Jun to dominate the industry and not caring about the family business?"
Qi Shan said: "My little brother has no intention of doing this."
Kang Nian shook his head solemnly: "This is not possible."
Qi Shan did not expect that Kang Nian would urge marriage and give birth, and he suddenly felt bitter. Face: "This kind of thing still depends on fate."
Kang Nian asked: "What if fate never comes?"
Qishan said firmly: "I don't want to give in."< br>
Kangnian moved his father out: "My father was still thinking about you before he died. Although he didn't say it, he was always looking forward to you returning to Kang's house with your wife and children. My aunt's boudoir has always been kept, every day. There are servants cleaning every day.”
Qishan chose to remain silent on this issue.
He didn't know much about the conflict between Qi and Kang. In order not to reveal any flaws, he sent someone to investigate later. Judging from the results of the investigation, it seems that Qi's family was lonely and it was inappropriate for him to belong to the Kang family, so the Kang family tried their best to prevent the marriage.
In addition to family issues, there is also the father of "Qishan" who is really not a good match. The only thing he can show off is his appearance and eloquence, and he is always good at coaxing people. But the mother of "Qi Shan" was raised in a boudoir. She was raised too simply and was ruined.
Getting married despite opposition.
For this reason, I had a quarrel with Kang and had no contact with him for many years.
Kang Nian sighed: "My father passed away many years ago..."
Qishan was surprised: "Kang...when did uncle go?"
"It has been some years. ..." Kang Nian was vague about this, obviously not wanting to get involved in this issue too much, "You have no intention of starting a family, and the Qi family is withering, how can you revitalize it?"
Qishan said his plan: "Just adopt it."
Kangnian was overjoyed and answered exactly what he wanted: "There are only some old people left in the Qi family. Where can you adopt him?"
If it is to be adopted, it is natural to choose someone with close blood relations.
Qi Shan also took the opportunity to reveal his plan: "To be honest with you, I want to adopt a child from the Kang family."
It would be best if you are closer to "Qi Shan" by blood. .
The closest blood relatives are the children of the Kangnian brothers. Qishan originally wanted to take care of Kang Jishou's child, but this cheap cousin was reincarnated and could not solve the problem of being single, let alone having children. The patriarch's lineage would not be adopted easily, so the range of choices for Qi Shan was narrowed, leaving only the second and third brothers in Kangshi. Qi Shan has not yet found out how many children the two have, and has not yet decided which one to adopt.
Now——
No need to worry.
No one is more suitable than Kang Miao. Kang Nian brought Kang Miao to see him, and deliberately directed the topic to the child, so Qi Shan knew his true purpose. Even though there was a conspiracy involved, for Kang Miao's sake, he could pretend he couldn't see it.
Kang Nian sighed: "Including those who died in infancy, the main branch of the family has not had many children born in these years, but the side branches do have suitable children. It's just that the blood relationship is far away, and they started raising children halfway. If you are willing to adopt someone, you are not as considerate as your biological children.”
Qishan suddenly asked: "When is Miao'er's birthday?"
Kangnian smiled broadly: "It's a coincidence."
"Where does the coincidence come from?"
"Miaoer and Yuanliang are born on the same day." As he spoke, something suddenly occurred to him, "If you are determined to adopt an adopted child, what do you think of Miao'er? You have similar looks and the same birthday, so you are more destined than me as your biological father."
Kang Nian Banzhen He was half-pretend to be jealous.
Qi Shan's expression fell into a state of emptiness for a moment.
"Same birth date?"
"Yes, I still heard it from my mother."
Although the two families are at odds over a marriage, they are relatives after all. , my sister gave birth to a baby, and the Kang family also sent someone to send a full-moon gift, so they knew Qi Shan's birth date. When Kang Miao was born, the elders in the family were filled with emotion.
Qishan's lips moved: "The same..."
He came to his senses and asked Kang Miao how old she was now.
Kang Miao said respectfully: "It's eleven."
Qi Shan murmured: "It's eleven, eleven years old..."
[This age, this Appearance, birthday... Qi Yuanliang, tell me, are you back? 】
Qishan seemed to have forgotten the existence of Kangnian's father and daughter. His eyes were filled with red threads at some point, and there were still some glistening tears. His reaction left Kang Nian at a loss - adopting a ready-made daughter was a good thing, but was he so moved?
In the blink of an eye, Qi Shan returned to his normal color.
The tearful red thread has disappeared.
Qi Shan said: "This child is indeed destined for me. However, don't rush the adoption. You always need time to prepare."
Hearing him say "no rush", I thought he would be rejected.
After hearing the following article, I was completely relieved.
Kangnian smiled and said: "This is natural."
Qi Shan: "Sister-in-law, will you agree?"
The child comes out of someone else's belly, and adoption is different from others. Legally speaking, Once adopted, Kang Miao will be Qishan's daughter, and she will become a cousin to the original Kang family, and she will no longer recognize her parents. How could Kangnian’s wife accept it so easily?
Kang Nian sneered: "Isn't this a temporary idea?"
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 reluctantly agreed. Kangnian naturally couldn't say it on the spot. Once he said it, it would be revealed that it was premeditated. He only said to write a letter to ask his wife's opinion.
Kang Nian did not expect that the person who was most opposed to this matter was not his wife, but his troubled brother. In the morning, he tricked Qishan into agreeing, but in the afternoon Kangshi received the news and called him.
"No, I can't agree to this!"
Kang Nian was helpless: "Ji Shou, there must be a reason, right?"
"Brother, do you know what his name is? "Of course Kang Shi can't go up. When he came, he took off Qishan's waistcoat, and after a quick thought, he finally found a suitable reason, "He is an evil plotter! You adopted your niece to him, and the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked!"
Kangnian I thought it was something, but I didn't expect it to be this.
He said calmly: "So what about evil plots?"
In this world, few people can live well, but few are kind: "If Miaoer can learn skills, it will also be Miaoer's blessing."
< br>A good man is bullied by others, and a good horse is ridden by others.
There is nothing wrong with using evil means to protect yourself.
Kang Shi was so anxious that he walked back and forth in the camp, hesitating. At this time, Kang Miao came back. As soon as Kang Shi saw this face, he knew what Qi Shan was planning. His opposition became more fierce, and he even blurted out: "You To adopt Miao'er to him, it is better to find a girl of the right age to marry him, preferably one with a similar appearance to Miao'er... If you force the marriage, I guarantee that he will accept it!"
Kang Nian was so angry that he cursed Kang Shi.
"Asshole! What nonsense are you talking about?"
What does it mean to choose a woman who looks a bit like Miao'er and forcibly marry her cousin? Kang Miao is going to be adopted by Qi Shan. They are a legitimate father and daughter! Is this what a biological uncle should say?
Kang Miao also turned pale and was at a loss.
For a moment, Kang Shi was speechless and couldn't speak clearly.
Finally, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Yuan Liang died many years ago!"
It was Kang Nian's turn to have an empty expression: "What?"
Kang Shi covered his face and stiffened Scalp finished the rest of the content, However, he did not directly reveal Qi Shan’s true identity. He only said that Qi Shan now received life-saving grace from Zhen Qi Shan. In order to repay the favor, Qi Shan has been taking care of Qi family as Zhen Qi Shan, just to let “Qi Shan” "Goodness" lives in the world.
"Brother, I have known this brother for a long time and have worked with him for many years. I know that he has a bad reputation in the outside world, but in his heart he is a kind and stubborn person who knows how to repay kindness. He wants to help' Yuan Liang will revitalize the Qi family, I mean to make him from The Kang family chose someone close to Yuan Liang. He just wanted to adopt him and never get married again. He couldn't completely erase his existence and give up everything he was running now just because of his life-saving grace. , this is not fair!”
Kangnian's expression was much complicated.
Whether it is the real Yuanliang or the fake Yuanliang now, he doesn't have much emotion. He cares more about the Kang family.
"Why don't you help him?"
Kang Shi's eyes suddenly widened: "Brother!"
The tone was vaguely angry.
Kangnian sighed and looked up at his fourth brother: "Ji Shou, since my father and Erlang left, the only one who can speak or negotiate with me is Sanlang. You also know about Sanlang's body. He has supported him all these years. It’s not easy for a family, do you understand?”
Kang Shi opened his mouth: “Brother...”
"It doesn't matter whether he is a Yuanliang or not. The important thing is that he is an 'evil schemer'. You also said that he has been trapped in a knot in his heart over the years. Isn't it just right to let Miao'er solve it now? You don't look down on plotting. , but the brothers are not completely without any sincerity."
The brothers fell into a long silence.
Kang Nian said again: "You should tell your brother about this matter earlier. The adoption has been revealed, how can you take it back? Discuss it later with him. As long as he treats Miaoer as his own daughter, Miaoer will be the best in the future. When they get married, the first child will take his family name, and the second child will take his family name. Is it considered the best of both worlds? "
Kang Shi looked at his brother like this and felt strange.
"If I had told you earlier..."
"Miaoer is the best candidate." Kang Nian said without any secret, "According to what you said, he can't refuse this face. "

Kang Miao must have been adopted. Yuanliang will have multiple daughters, so he no longer has to envy Wuhui for having a little cotton-padded jacket.
