Chapter 130 Adopting Anger
Chapter 130 Adopting Anger
Time flows through everyone in the same way, but people spend time in different ways.
Jiang Li stood on the highest pavilion in the courtyard, gazing towards the direction of Yanzhou City.
I thought that Zhou Chunfeng should have already led his troops to Jingzhou City.
I felt reluctant, but had to suppress my inner feelings.
Jiang Li couldn't help but smile as his daughter Lan Jie'er was babbling and waving her little pink fists in his arms. He lowered his head and rubbed the little girl's forehead with his cheek.
"My dear, let's wait together for your dad to come home."
In the past, Zhou Chunfeng worked hard for her and the children's future.
Today, that man has a strong ambition in his heart, working hard for the happiness of the people and the well-being of their lives!
She and her children will silently support him in his steps, follow the right monarch for the sake of the country and the family, and provide shelter for their descendants.
At this time, Yuan Niang walked slowly onto the pavilion and said, "Madam, the luggage and belongings have been packed. My uncle has taken my son to the newly built study in Jianglin Pavilion for his studies."
Jiang Li sorted out his thoughts and his gaze fell on the courtyard below. Many guards were busy shuttling around in the courtyard, helping their family deliver their luggage to Jianglin Pavilion.
Yes, she decided to move into that square city with her children.
She had a solid roof, a soft bed, and a luxurious bedroom, so why did she insist on her own opinion? She should have lived happily and enjoyed the honor that belonged to her with her children.
Since she had promised the old island owner to protect Changsheng Island, she would definitely not go back on her word.
Initially, it was the beautiful scenery of this island that attracted her. The tribesmen working in the fields and the young men fishing in the sea, they relied on their own hands to obtain the gifts from heaven and also had richness in their hearts.
Now, she has a new understanding and calculation, perhaps guided by the thoughts of later generations, who cannot bear to see such good resources wasted.
She hopes that more people will know about Changsheng Island and the Daning royal family who once contributed to the peace of the people of the world. Changsheng Island can maintain its original mystery, but it needs to grow stronger.
The idle days of working behind closed doors will only make the tribe members comfortable and lazy, and will also trigger many crises.
For example, a scholar kept indoors could easily contact the outside world and lay layers of murderous intentions on the island.
For example, generation after generation of young people yearn for the lively world outside.
Instead of keeping the tribe members on the island, it is better to broaden their horizons.
Her next plan is to lead the people on the island to contribute to Changsheng Island and even the nearest Yanzhou City.
The opportunity of building a city and developing a nation allows the tribe to develop in many aspects, such as doing business, farming, hunting, or passing on medical skills, which can make the people of Changsheng Island prosperous and enhance the reputation of Changsheng Island and the outside world.
When it comes to making money and building fame, Jiang Li has never been a woman who keeps to herself.
Her man is working hard to make a name for himself outside, so she will provide him with full support from behind, and they will create their future together.
"Okay." Jiang Li slowly retracted his gaze and said with a light smile, "Is the Uncle Qi you mentioned earlier willing to teach the child?"
"I'm willing." Yuan Niang said with a smile, "Uncle Qi is a man of high rank. He is the most knowledgeable elder on our island. When he learned that you wanted him to teach your son, he immediately accepted the job without hesitation. In the future, with your uncle and Uncle Qi teaching the child, you will have less worries."
"That's great." Jiang Li felt relieved now that the child's education was settled.
The reconstruction of Yanzhou City, the return of people, and the re-establishment of the school cannot be accomplished in a short period of time. Que Ge'er and Heng Ge'er are at the right age and must not miss the good opportunity to study.
"My uncle has chosen an auspicious date. Ten days from now, I will need Yuan Niang to pay more attention to the adoption ceremony at the ancestral hall."
"Yes, my lady." When Yuan Niang mentioned this, she couldn't help but feel excited.
Lady Li, mindful of the island owner's kindness, agreed to adopt a son under the name of the Liu family of Daning. This way, the master followed by their clansmen would have an heir to carry on the family line.
Yesterday, Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng mentioned the old island owner's last wish. After repeated consideration, the couple agreed to her wish.
Emotionally, Jiang's biological mother, Liu, wouldn't have survived until she was abducted at the age of seven if she hadn't been reborn and raised by the old island master. Logically, Jiang Li now controls Changsheng Island, and the legacy will ultimately fall to his children. The Daning Liu family, having endured countless hardships to reach this place a century ago, ultimately left no descendants to carry on the legacy – a truly moving and heartbreaking experience.
However, we need to skip the name of Heng Ge'er. Heng Ge'er is the eldest son of the couple. From ancient times to the present, the eldest son and grandson are the family inheritance.
Therefore, the adopted son was chosen from Jing'er and An'er and recorded in the Daning Liu family tree. After the uncle calculated the birth dates of the two brothers, he concluded that An'er's birth date was the most compatible with the Liu family.
Time passed quickly, and soon it was the day of the adoption ceremony.
The guards stood guard at their respective posts with solemn expressions. Jianglin Pavilion invited a representative from the descendants of the island's loyal ministers and famous generals to come to the Liu Ancestral Hall to witness this adoption ceremony of extraordinary significance.
Ang'er changed into new clothes that had been made in a hurry. The black brocade robe embroidered with a qilin made the child look particularly energetic.
Ang'er, who didn't quite understand what was happening, held his mother's hand and, under the expectant gaze of everyone, stepped step by step into the brightly lit, solemn and quiet ancestral hall.
Jiang Li also changed out of her previous simple attire and wore a sky-blue dress embroidered with auspicious clouds and crabapple flowers. Her black hair, which had been well maintained in the past two years, was tied up with just a few silver and jade hairpins. She looked intellectual and elegant, and her gentle and graceful temperament was fully displayed.
Que Ge'er and his two younger brothers watched quietly. The children's clothes had changed, and they all looked like the sons of wealthy families.
Uncle Clan and Uncle Qi presided over the ceremony in the ancestral hall. Jiang Li led An Ge'er to lift his robe and kneel on the cushion. The tablets of the ancestors of the Daning Liu family were neatly placed on the altar in front of them.
Yuan Niang stepped forward and lit two incense sticks, three in each, and carefully handed them to Jiang Li and An Ge'er.
Anger took the incense in a daze, and first looked at his mother beside him, wanting to ask something but not daring to.
Jiang Li gently gestured to An Ge'er: "Do you remember what mother just said to you?"
"Yeah." Ang'er nodded heavily.
He remembered what his mother had said, and he would just follow whatever his mother said.
"I am the third son of the Zhou family, Zhou Yi'an, two years and five months old."
Upon hearing this, An Ge repeated it in a childish voice. He knew Zhou Yian, it was his name.
"Thanks to Mr. Liu's protection, I have heard that the king's will is fixed and will be passed on to his heirs. Therefore, the four seasons are in order, and heaven and earth are prosperous."
Ang'er trembled his little body and recited it again seriously.
"Now that I have changed my surname, I wish to succeed Mr. Liu, carry on his legacy, continue his bloodline, and offer sacrifices to his spirit. I hereby change my name to Liu Yi'an, the descendant of the Liu family."
"From now on, your descendant Liu Yi'an will surely be able to inherit the orthodox tradition, protect the country from danger, and achieve order before chaos. We will carry out Mr. Liu's great aspirations and protect the safety of our clan."
The elders of the clan who were watching the ceremony saw the future young master kneeling down to worship the tablets of the deceased masters in a young and sensible manner. Their hearts were filled with excitement and they could not help but lower their heads to wipe the moisture from the corners of their eyes.
Thanks to God’s blessing, the master their ancestors followed finally had descendants!
After going through the tedious process, Anger followed his mother's instructions, burned incense, kowtowed, swore an oath and gave mourning speeches, and successfully completed the adoption ceremony.
From then on, Anger became a descendant of the Daning royal family, but he was also the child of Jiang Li and Zhou Chunfeng.
Ang'er will have his own mission and responsibility in the future, and he and his brothers will carry the banner that belongs to them!
