Adoption brings disaster

I went to the Gu King's house and accepted the hydrangea from the Gu King's granddaughter. Both Ada and Qingyu were a little worried. After they gave them instructions on what I had arranged, they hurried to wait outside the Gu King's house.

The two waited for a long time, and when they saw me coming out of the Gu King's house, Qingyu and Ada immediately surrounded me.

However, the two people's emotions were quite different. Ada looked like his mother had died, with a sad face. Qingyu was very happy, with a grin on his face, and making a "hehe" sound from time to time.

"Your Highness, are you really going to marry Miss Duoduo?" Ada asked unwillingly.

"Since I've already accepted the bouquet and promised Senior Gu King to marry Duoduo, then I must marry her." I continued with a bit of pride, "Let's not talk about Qianxi needing the Gu King to save her life. Just looking at Duoduo, she's also a good girl. If she marries me, she'll be wronged."

"Your Highness, you can't marry her." Seeing how happy I was, Ada was about to cry.

"I know that monogamy is the norm in the Miao village. If we can find a good man, it would be a great thing to be together for the rest of our lives." I said, looking forward to my future with Duoduo.

Qingyu didn't seem unhappy at all about my plan to marry Duoduo. She said, "The Miao village doesn't practice monogamy. Men here also have three wives and four concubines. If a man is capable, he can marry ten or even a hundred wives."

Qingyu finished speaking, but fearing I wouldn't believe her, she added, "That's what the Miao people said when I was fixing something for them just now."

Qingyu was very happy when he said this, but I was so immersed in the happy future life with Duoduo that I didn't notice it.

"It's not this reason." Ada was extremely anxious, but he couldn't explain it clearly, so he could only worry.

"I know. If I marry Duoduo, I have to stay in the Miao village. It's okay. This place has beautiful mountains, clear waters, and fresh air. I think it's much better than the capital."

I am so happy now. I have even thought of names for my children. I will have a boy and a girl. I will name my daughter Aido and my son Jiuge.

I secretly made up my mind that no matter what difficulties I encounter, I will not give up on Duoduo, this good girl.

"I don't think there's such a rule in the village," Qingyu said. "People in the village told me that women should obey their husbands after marriage. They should follow their husbands and serve them well. They shouldn't be jealous and should give birth to more children for their husbands."

As Qingyu spoke, her face was full of shyness.

"If that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with marrying Duoduo?" Looking at Ada's anxious look, he felt a little annoyed.

"I just can't, Your Highness, I really can't." Adadu knelt down and begged me, "My Your Highness Qianqiu, Qianxi is just a servant, there is no need, let's go now, stay away from Miaojiang, and don't come back."

This Ada kept saying these things, and I was a little annoyed. Anyway, he asked me to ignore Qianxi's life or death, which made me even more annoyed with him.

I kicked him away and said viciously, "You are so great now that you are meddling in my affairs. I want to see what reason you have to ask me to give up Qianxi's life and not marry Duoduo."

Seeing this, Qingyu also scolded him angrily, "A man should keep his word. The principal accepted the bouquet from Miss Duoduo and promised the Gu King that he would marry her. What is your intention in instigating the principal to be such a dishonest person?"

Ah Da looked at Qingyu, who had previously agreed with him that I shouldn't marry Duoduo, and now actually supported me marrying Duoduo. He was also in disbelief and said, "That's not what you said just now."

"I'm only doing this for the principal's own good. I initially disagreed because I thought Duoduo was not a good girl, but after asking the people in the village, everyone praised Duoduo highly. They believe that such a good woman should all marry our principal."

Ah Da was also angry and blurted out, "According to what you said, everyone in the martial arts world would praise you for your goodness. So, do you want to marry His Highness Qianqiu as well?"

"You are right. As long as the principal is willing, I am willing to marry His Highness together with Miss Duoduo." Qingyu said naturally, and then looked at me shyly.

Seeing their talk getting increasingly outrageous, I quickly interrupted, "I've made up my mind. Stop talking, both of you. Hurry and get ready for the wedding. Don't delay."

Seeing that I had made up my mind, Ah Da knew that it was useless to persuade me any further. After agreeing miserably, he just followed me and Qingyu pitifully, not daring to say much, for fear that he would anger me again and drive me away.

I didn't really want him to leave, I was just saying that out of anger at the time. Now seeing his expression, I softened my heart and said to him, "How are your arrangements going?"

Seeing me asking him about something, Ah Da naturally knew that I would not chase him away, so he came over like a lackey and said, "According to your instructions, the things were prepared half a month ago. We are just waiting for your order and can be shipped in at any time."

I was quite satisfied with Ah Da's efficiency, so I nodded and said, "Then please bring it in quickly."

Ah Da took the order and left without mentioning it.

Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, the stage from yesterday's festival celebration was piled with all kinds of things. The Miao people got up early to do farm work, and those who passed by kept staring at it. Those who didn't pass by the stage would also make a big circle to take a look.

I saw that the time was almost right, the supplies had been delivered, and the staff had been arranged, so I asked the children to go and call all the Miao people to the stage in exchange for five meat buns per person.

Everyone had guessed it in their minds, but when they saw me speaking humbly and politely on the stage, they were all overjoyed.

"I've been invited by Miss Duoduo, the granddaughter of the Gu King, to stay in the village for a few days. I'm sorry for bothering you all, so I've prepared some small gifts. Please don't despise them."

Under the arrangement of the Miao King, the Miao people lined up in an orderly manner, with one person from each family. When the first one received something, the whole Miao village went crazy.

Each person was given 100 kilograms of high-quality grain, a piece of cloth, a pair of good iron farm tools, various seeds, kitchen utensils, etc., which were enough for many Miao people to use for several years.

The Miao people had never seen so many good things before, and they lined up in an orderly manner and chattered.

"You see, the grains are all top quality, and the grains are plump. I wonder if we can save some for seeds and grow such good crops next year."

"Don't even think about it. This kind of food is produced in the rich Central Plains. How can we, with our poor and barren land, produce such good food?"

"The grain is good, but the cloth is even better. I don't know how it was woven, but it's so thick and dense. Wearing it might give you more energy while working."

"You women have long hair and short knowledge. Food is gone once it's eaten, and clothes will rot after being worn for a long time. Only farm tools are good things that can be used for decades. I have lived for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen farm tools made of such good iron."

The Miao people were very happy to receive these good things. One of them said greedily, "What do you think? If we elect him as the Miao King, will we get these good things every year?"

When these words came out, the Miao people were obviously interested. They looked at me with fiery eyes, thinking about how to proceed.

At this time, someone whispered a reminder: "Shh, don't say that. Look at Tang Shan's eyes, he wants to eat me."

"If this person wasn't there, Tang Shan would indeed be the best candidate for the next Miao King, but he's no match for him. You didn't notice that yesterday, with just one whip, the fist-thick stone slab instantly cracked into several pieces."

"How could I not have noticed that the slate he broke was my house? I don't know where they found it. The big man next to him brought a new slate in the evening."

"Speaking of that big guy you mentioned, his martial arts skills are also very powerful. When he first came, Tang Shan couldn't stand his close relationship with Miss Duoduo, so he gathered a group of people to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, he was taught a lesson by the big guy instead."

………………

As the Miao people spoke excitedly, the Miao King came over to me and said, "Our area is poor and desolate, and most of these Miao people live a life of hunger and hardship. If you can help everyone live a good life, you don't have to be the Miao King."

I looked at the picturesque Miao village and said with a smile, "I believe you when you say everyone is hungry, but I don't agree with you when you say this place is poor and destitute."

I looked at the people busy in the school below and continued, "I'll leave a few people in the Miao village. I think it won't be long before everyone has a good life, but they won't have to go hungry."

"Don't worry, as long as everyone lives a good life, I will immediately convene a Miao village meeting and give the position of Miao King to you." The Miao King said somewhat frustrated.

"How come you have such a strange idea?" I asked speechlessly.

My life goal is to have a wife and children, a warm bed, and to live a life of ease and wait for retirement. How could I possibly become the Miao King and suffer so much?

However, the Miao King obviously did not believe this and asked, "Then why do you want to marry Miss Duoduo?"

Listening to these two completely unrelated topics, I didn't want to explain to King Miao. I rolled my eyes at him and said, "She likes me, I like her, so it's natural for us to be together. There's no need for any reason."

After that, I pointed at Ah Da and said, "Did you see that man? He has such fighting power. I have at least 3,000 men under my command. If I attack your Miao village, how many days, hours, or even a few incense sticks can you resist?"

I pointed at the black fish and said, "That girl is proficient in agricultural machinery and has mastered scientific research methods. In a year, she can increase the food supply of this village by one-third. I can always call out sixty or seventy such talented people."

I pointed at the mountain of grain on the ground and continued, "If I distribute grain every year, how long do you think it will take for everyone in the village to side with me? One year or two? So if I want your position as Miao King, there are plenty of ways to do it. Why bother using your marriage as a bargaining chip?"

After hearing what I said, King Miao was stunned and looked at me in disbelief.

Seeing a hint of disbelief in his eyes, I continued, "You probably don't know that I'm also a prince in Beishang Country. I really don't look down on your little Miao village. You sound nice, but if the Gu King didn't live in your village, just look at how many villages in the entire Miao region would still recognize you as the Miao King."

Having said that, the Miao King also knew that I had no interest in the position of Miao King at all. After all, a person who can eat delicacies from mountains and seas anytime and anywhere would not covet hard and unpalatable wild vegetable dumplings.

However, although the wild vegetable dumplings were looked down upon by the rich and powerful, they were a rare delicacy for the poor people who had no food to eat, so the Miao King quickly brought his son to apologize to me.

"Yesterday, my useless son was impolite and offended the guests. I hope Qianqiu will not be angry with him." After saying this, he took Tangshan to apologize to me.

Although I look like a teenager, I am already over thirty years old at heart. How could I get angry with a teenager?

He waved his hand nonchalantly and said, "It's okay. Tangshan is still young, so it's normal for him to be a little hot-tempered. Besides, if he's not hot-tempered, he's still a young man, right?"

After saying this, he and King Miao looked at each other and burst into laughter.

"Dad, why are you siding with this stranger?" Tang Shan said angrily. "I'm going to complain to my grandma."

After saying this, he ran away quickly without paying any attention to his father's scolding.

I looked at Tangshan which was running away, and thought about the time when Chongguang was a child when he had such a period of time.

During that period, Chongguang just couldn't stand Liushui. Whenever he saw me interacting with Liushui, he would lose his temper. No matter how I explained, he just didn't like Liushui. The more I explained and tried to educate him, the more angry he became.

Thinking of Chongguang, I was still very happy. I smiled and said, "I had a child like this when he was young, but he got better later."

"Qianqiu, you already have a child." The Miao King said in disbelief, "You look so young."

I knew the Miao King had misunderstood, so I chuckled and said, "He's not my biological child, he was just raised by me."

King Miao didn't understand this rule, so he naturally didn't know what I was talking about. However, this matter was not important to him at all, so he pretended to understand, nodded, and said, "I see."

Speaking of Chongguang, it seems like I haven't heard from him for a long time, and I haven't taken the initiative to write to him. It seems that as a father, I should be more proactive, otherwise the father-son relationship will gradually fade.

I am a very proactive person, so when I thought about this, I said, "I have something to do. I'll excuse myself first."

After saying goodbye to King Miao, I went back and wrote a long letter to Chongguang, and called A Da to ask him to deliver the letter to His Royal Highness King Yong as quickly as possible.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.
