Chapter 912
"puff--"
The atmosphere was extremely awkward, and a tiny laugh was heard.
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 my ears were red with embarrassment, and I wanted to crawl into the cracks in 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 she is at home."
He was not blind. From Qishan's reaction just now, he knew that the other party 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.
Well, going out here makes me look a little more childlike, which is an unexpected surprise."
Qi Shan forced himself to look away.
He glanced at the monogram engraved with "Qi Shi Yuanliang", and his eyes were full of complexity. He put it back on, took off another jade pendant that was precious at first glance and gave it to his niece as a meeting gift.
The father and daughter led them to the small hall inside the tent where guests were entertained.
The three of them sat down and poured tea for Kangnian in prayer.
Said: "Children should have the nature of children. There are only a few years of carefree life. When you reach adulthood, you will realize that you can't control the world, and it is difficult to find the original intention of youth. Just now I heard your father call you 'Miaoer'
'?Is this a nickname or a big name?"
The last two sentences were said to my cousin's niece.
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. Boil the pear slices in a pot, throw in sugar cubes, wolfberry, and red dates. The taste is very delicious. This way of drinking is invented by my boss, so that it can be drunk in winter.
To fruit tea.
It works well, but somehow it spreads to the people.
There are similar tea shops on every street in Longwu County and Sibao County. When winter comes, this sweet and hot thirsty water is especially popular. Qishan said: "This is a very popular tea shop in Sibao County.
The popular Sydney Thirsty Water is loved by children.”
Kang Miao was flattered: "Thank you uncle."
Looking at the silver tea bowl held by his daughter, and then looking at the one in his own hand, Kang Nian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. This cousin was really like what Ji Shou said, he didn't hide his emotions and anger, and his partiality was blatant.
He also observed his cousin's appearance.
My cousin is not similar to my daughter.
When he came, he was still thinking, if what his mother said was right, Qishan and his daughter would look alike if they stood together?
Will outsiders misunderstand that they are father and daughter?
Kang Nian thought about it with a smile on his lips.
Qishan: "Brother, has something good happened to you?"
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 that she was carved out of the same mold as Yuan Liang. 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."
Then he looked at Kang Miao: "It's really similar."
"It's my brother's fault. I wanted to talk about family affairs, but I didn't want to make you sad." Kangnian marveled at Qi Shan's disguise. He didn't even see any flaws. At the same time, he felt embarrassed - what he did
The cousin of the other party came to visit him today to reminisce about old times, but he didn't find that the other party looked sick. Isn't this just telling the other party that he doesn't remember him?
Ordinary people would be angry if they realized this.
Qishan didn't seem to notice.
His smile returned to its warmth, and he asked with concern: "It's only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, why is my brother here and bringing Miao'er with him?"
Kang Nian sighed and told the reason.
He was here to deliver the hostages, and Kang Miao was also a hostage.
Qishan: "..."
Is something wrong with this aristocratic family?
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 afford to rush to deliver them, right? I'm waiting to hear that many of the hostages have cultivation qualifications.
His daughter, he changed his evaluation again - the family is really a chicken thief!
Qi Shan disagreed and said, "How old is Miao'er?"
"Why don't you know that the hostages are in a difficult situation? It's just that Miao'er has been away from Jiji for a few years, and in the past six months, other men have been inquiring about the news. Your sister-in-law has accumulated a lot of pictures, all of which are well-matched... Ordinarily there is nothing wrong with this, but
When I think about this child spending the first half of her life in the back house of the Kang family, and the second half of her life in the back house of an unknown family, and then thinking about the free and unrestrained ladies around Shen Jun, I always feel that I have treated her badly. Sending her here this time is also a good idea.
I don’t want to trouble 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 will be important ministers at 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 in 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, this is particularly prominent. They are already in the whirlpool of struggle, and they will be more interested in relationships.
of comfort.
For them, it is best to use emotions as an excuse.
Qishan said without hesitation: "This is natural."
Kang Nian did not expect it to go so smoothly.
Pouring tea again, Kang Nian's topic centered more on the changes in the Kang family over the years. 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: "Ji Shou sent it earlier
When I mentioned you in the family letter, I was still worried that you were only focused on assisting Mr. Shen to dominate the industry and not caring about the family business?"
Qishan said: "My little brother has no intention of doing this."
Kangnian shook his head seriously: "This is not possible."
Qishan didn't expect that Kangnian would urge marriage and give birth to a child, so he suddenly made a bitter look on his face: "This kind of thing still depends on fate."
Kangnian asked: "What if fate never comes?"
Qishan said firmly: "I don't want to give in."
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 your return to Kang's house with his wife and children. My aunt's boudoir has always been kept.
There are servants cleaning every day.”
Qishan chose to remain silent on this issue.
He didn't know much about the conflict between the Qi family and the Kang family. In order not to reveal any flaws, he sent someone to investigate later. Judging from the results of the investigation, it seemed that the Qi family was lonely and not related to the Kang family. So the Kang family tried their best to
Stop this marriage.
In addition to family problems, 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. And the mother of "Qishan" was raised in the boudoir.
, was raised too simple and was ruined.
She wants to get married despite objections.
Because of this, I had a serious quarrel with Mr. Kang and had no contact with him for many years.
Kangnian sighed: "My father passed away many years ago..."
Qishan was surprised: "Kang...when did uncle go?"
"It's been a few years..." Kang Nian was vague about this, obviously not wanting to get involved too much in this issue, "You have no intention of starting a family, and the Qi family is withering, how can you revitalize it?"
Qi Shan expressed his plan: "Just adopt him."
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 adopted, naturally you should choose someone with a close blood relationship.
Qi Shan also took the opportunity to express his plan: "To be honest with you, I want to adopt a child from the Kang family."
It would be best to have a blood relationship closer to "Qi Shan".
The closest blood relatives are the children of the Kang Nian brothers.
Qishan originally wanted to have Kang Jishou's child, but this cheap cousin was reincarnated and could not solve the problem of being single, let alone having a child. The lineage of the patriarch would not be adopted easily, so Qishan had a wide range of choices.
Only the second and third brothers of Kang Shi are left. Qishan has not yet investigated how many children these two have, and has not yet decided which one they will adopt.
now--
No need to worry anymore.
No one is more suitable than Kang Miao. Kang Nian brought Kang Miao to see him, and deliberately directed the topic to the children. Qi Shan knew his true purpose. Even though there was a conspiracy in this, but for Kang Miao's sake,
He can pretend to be invisible.
Kang Nian sighed: "Including those who died in infancy, the main branch of the clan 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 people are willing to adopt them, it is not as good as biological children.
Children are considerate."
Qi Shan 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 said this, something suddenly occurred to him, "If you are determined to adopt a child, what do you think of Miaoer? You have similar looks and the same birthday, but you are more beautiful than my biological father.
Fate."
Kang Nian was half-seriously jealous.
Qishan's expression fell into a state of emptiness for a moment.
"Same birthday?"
"Yes, I heard my mother tell me this."
Although the two families were at odds over a marriage, they were 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
Feelings abound.
Qishan's lips moved: "Same..."
He came to his senses and asked Kang Miao how old she was now.
Kang Miao said respectfully: "It's October."
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, and his eyes suddenly turned red, and there were still some faint tears. His reaction made Kang Nian confused - adopting a ready-made daughter is a good thing, but, as for
Are you so moved?
Blinking, Qishan returned to his normal color.
There was no trace of the tearful red thread.
Qishan 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 I was going to be rejected.
After hearing the following article, I was completely relieved.
Kangnian smiled and said: "This is natural."
Qishan: "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 Qi Shan's daughter, and she will become a cousin to the original Kang family. She will no longer be able to recognize her parents. How could Kang Nian's wife easily
Accept?
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 his daughter's future, he reluctantly agreed. Kangnian naturally couldn't say it on the spot, and as soon as he said it, it was revealed that this was a premeditated matter. He only said to write a letter to ask his wife
Opinion.
Kang Nian did not expect that the person who was most opposed to this matter was not his wife, but his troubled brother. He tricked Qi Shan into agreeing in the morning, but in the afternoon Kang Shi received the news and called him.
"No, I can't agree to this!"
Kangnian was helpless: "Ji Shou, there must be a reason, right?"
"Brother, do you know his name?" Kang Shi naturally couldn't come up, so he took off Qishan's waistcoat. After thinking about it, he finally found a suitable reason, "He is an evil plotter! You will adopt your niece to him.
If the beam is not straight, the beam will be crooked!"
Kang Nian thought it was something, but he didn't expect it to be this.
He said calmly: "So what about the evil plot?"
There are few good people who can live well in this world: "If Miaoer can learn skills, it will also be Miaoer's blessing."
A good man will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridden by others.
There is nothing wrong with using evil means to protect yourself.
Kang Shi was so anxious that he wandered 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 intense, and he even blurted out: "You will adopt Miao'er to him."
, it’s better to find a girl of the right age to marry him from the clan, preferably one with a similar appearance to Miao’er… force the marriage, and I guarantee 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 to forcefully 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 explain clearly.
Finally, he had no choice but to tell the truth.
"Yuanliang died many years ago!"
Now it was Kangnian's turn to have a blank expression: "What?"
Kang Shi covered his face and forced himself to finish the rest of the content. However, he did not directly reveal Qi Shan's true vest. He only said that Qi Shan had received the life-saving grace of Zhen Qi Shan and that Qi Shan wanted to repay his kindness.
, has been taking care of the Qi family as a true Qi Shan, just to let "Qi Shan" live in the world.
"Brother, I have known this brother for a long time. I 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 to general Qi.
By revitalizing, I mean to let him choose someone from the Kang family who is close to Yuan Liang. He just wants to adopt a child and not get married again in this life. He cannot completely erase his existence and run the business now just because of the grace of saving his life.
Give everything away. Brother, this is not fair!"
Kangnian's expression was much complicated.
Whether it was the real Yuanliang or the fake Yuanliang now, he didn't have much emotion. He cared more about the Kang family.
"Why don't you help him?"
Kang Shi suddenly widened his eyes: "Brother!"
His tone was vaguely angry.
Kangnian sighed and raised his eyes to look 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..."
"Whether he is a Yuanliang or not is not important. What is important is that he is an 'evil schemer'. You also said that he has been trapped in a knot in his heart these years. Isn't it just right to let Miao'er solve it now? You don't despise scheming, but for your brother
There is no trace of sincerity at all.”
The brothers fell into a long silence.
Kangnian said again: "You should tell your brother about this matter earlier. The adoption has been revealed, how can you take it back? Discuss with him later. As long as he treats Miao'er as his own daughter, Miao'er will get married and have their first child in the future.
If the surname is Sui Qi, the second child will take his original surname. Is it considered the best of both worlds if he has both surnames?"
Kang Shi looked at his brother like this and felt strange.
"If I had told you earlier..."
"Miao'er is the best candidate." Kang Nian said without any hesitation, "According to what you said, he can't refuse this face."

Kang Miao must have been adopted. Yuan Liang will have multiple daughters, so he no longer has to envy Wu Hui for having little cotton-padded jackets.
