If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 24 Guan Laoya's Shocking Plan

"By the way, Lao Zhong, how did you arrange for Guan Yu?"

As the conversation was about to end, Guan Huchen finally remembered his adopted daughter.

However, when talking about "Guan Yu", he still felt uncomfortable and his expression was unnatural.

"After returning yesterday afternoon, I picked two daughters from the family of the drugstore clerk, one named Xia Zhi and the other Yong Xue, and asked them to serve Miss Yu. Now."

He didn't know what happened today, but last night.
Guan Zhong's face twitched a few times, and he said, "This early morning, I accompanied the master to the county governor's mansion, and I haven't seen Miss Yu yet.

But last night, Miss Yu ate a lot."

"What did you eat a lot?" Guan Huchen asked puzzledly.

"I ate a lot of medicinal food and a lot of rice."

As if thinking that "a lot" was not enough to give the master a concrete impression, Guan Zhong added, "Miss Yu drank three jars of the medicinal food specially prepared for warriors to build their foundation, which is the Guan family's famous 'bone strengthening soup'!"

"Three jars? What jars? Why give her bone-strengthening soup?" Hu Chen asked in surprise.

Guan Zhong sighed, "At first, I didn't prepare any bone-strengthening soup for her. She smelled the aroma of the medicine herself - it was the medicinal food prepared by Shopkeeper Zhang for his son. After asking why, she clamored to drink it, too.

Shopkeeper Zhang explained to her that the bone strengthening soup was prepared for martial arts children who were building their foundation, and ordinary people should not drink it casually.

She said she was also a martial arts child and could bring a bowl for her to try.

After trying it, she couldn't stop. She said, "I feel great, as if I came back to life today." From the beginning of the Shen hour to the end of the You hour, nearly an hour and a half, she drank the soup while the pharmacist in the kitchen cooked it.

She drank from three ceramic jars that could boil two liters of thick soup!
For an ordinary person, drinking even half a jar, let alone three jars, will cause the body to feel hot and the skin to become red, just like a cooked prawn. If the body is a little weak, there will be a long nosebleed.

She just blushed and white steam came out of her head, like smoke from a chimney.

But in addition to the three jars of bone-strengthening soup, she also ate two roast chickens, a steamed shad, a braised pork elbow, a large bowl of stir-fried pork with green garlic, white flour steamed buns and millet porridge. "

Hu Chen was surprised: "She is so small, how can she fit it in her small belly?"

"She couldn't fit it all in one go, so she chewed it slowly and ate it for an hour and a half," said Guan Zhong.

Hu Chen wanted to ask: Did you run past the toilet on the way?
He also felt that this was not polite, and Guan Zhong might not care about this matter, so he didn't say anything.

"It's a good thing to be able to eat." Hu Chen nodded.

If you can drink three jars of bone-strengthening soup without having a nosebleed, your body will be as strong as a calf.

As for the silver coins that were eaten.
Hu Chen didn't care at all.

Bone-strengthening soup is certainly not a street-side product like meat buns and sesame cakes. The Guan family pharmacy sells it for six taels of silver per pack.

One packet can only make one jar of two liters of thick soup, which is enough for six or seven martial arts apprentices to use in a day.

Thinking of his arrangements and expectations for Xiaoyu, let alone dozens of taels of silver, even if it was 100,000 taels of gold, even if he lost all the Guan family's wealth, as long as it succeeded, he would still make a huge profit.

"Not only should we make sure she eats and drinks well, we should also find one or two female teachers outside to teach her how to read and write. Well, we are about to return to the interior of the country, so don't worry. After you return, you can go to Yingxiang Mansion to invite famous teachers.

If Yingxiang Mansion doesn't have it, go to Luodu. Just get the best and don't be afraid to spend money. "Hu Chen ordered.

Guan Zhong frowned, hesitated for a moment, and asked doubtfully: "Master, why do you want to adopt a Shaman with an awkward status as your adopted daughter, and plan to spend a lot of effort to train her?

You already have Miss Tianfeng, and you have many daughters and cousins ​​in your family.

Besides, there is already a female teacher at home.

The young lady in the mansion may not be well-educated, but at least she can read, write, and participate in poetry gatherings, which is enough."

Guan Huchen shook his head and said, "Not enough, far from enough! What kind of talent is it to participate in a poetry meeting in Yingxiang Mansion? I want Guan Yu to shine in China and in the imperial capital of Xianyang—"

After a pause, he changed his tone and said, "It's okay to shine, but at least you have to be able to integrate into the most high-end circle of literati in Xianyang, and not be laughed at as a blockhead or a barbarian."

Guan Zhong was shocked and said, "Master, what are you going to do? She is just a barbarian. Even you can hardly... Well, I mean, you are a military commander and can hardly fit into the circle of literati."

Not to mention the most high-end literary circle in the imperial capital Xianyang, his master couldn't even squeeze into the literary circle of Yingxiang Mansion.

Not only am I unwilling, but my ability is also a little insufficient.

Hu Chen smiled and said, “It’s not that I’m wishful thinking, it’s that you don’t understand her.

Although she was born into a barbarian family, she was born with innate wisdom, a gift that is even rarer than great supernatural powers.

Before the Emperor attained enlightenment, she might even have become a "saint of the human race."

Even in today's prosperous times, she, a ten-year-old girl, has nurtured a dragon vein that is strong enough to dominate the West.

Not to mention what I am going to do next, even if I just adopt her as my adopted daughter, she is fully qualified.

As for my arrangement for her, of course it is dedicated to His Majesty the Emperor, hahahaha."

Thinking of the wonderful thing, he laughed triumphantly, "I, your master, am truly blessed by fortune and heaven!

When I was on my way to Daqin, I met her. Hahahaha, my ambition is just around the corner!"

"Dedicated to His Majesty the Great Qin Emperor?!" Guan Zhong was shocked at first, then his expression twisted, and he murmured, "Master, are you thinking too much? Don't blame me for being abrupt. Miss Yu may be born with wisdom, but her appearance and demeanor are not as good as our Guan family's maid."

"Lao Zhong, are you blind? In terms of appearance and figure, she is a peerless beauty; in terms of temperament, she may not meet the standard of 'gentle and virtuous' in the eyes of ordinary people, but she can face me and Qingsong Taoist boy calmly in the desperate situation where her fate is beyond our control, and she can talk to us fluently and even have some tricks.

From beginning to end, there was no trace of genuine humility or self-ashamedness in his eyes.

You actually said she was worse than a maid.

Let alone the maidservant of Guan Mansion, even my Tianfeng. No, even the Lord of Qinghe, even the famous 'Thirteenth Princess' in Luodu, are far inferior to her in terms of temperament and generosity! "

Guan Zhong's face showed obvious disagreement and rejection, but he didn't open his mouth to refute.

Seeing this, Hu Chen sneered and said, “The demeanor you display in front of people of equal status is never your true demeanor.

You think that a beautiful woman with excellent temperament is nothing more than a "flesh screen".

The flesh screen made it difficult for her to even enter the harem of the King of Shu.

Not to mention the Great Qin Emperor who ruled the world and aspired to immortality.

In the face of great crisis and terror, those who can still talk and laugh calmly are true heroes and great heroes. Neither you nor I can be considered true heroes. We only dare to gossip about others behind their backs and vent our frustrations.

Facing the Qingsong Dao thief and the Yu Yu boy, he was as honest as a frightened quail, afraid that saying an inappropriate word would offend the noble and ruin his future.

The girl named Shaman Guanyu is only eleven years old.

You should have seen her flattering the Taoist priest Qingsong and jokingly calling him "Old Ancestor", as well as the peaceful atmosphere at the meeting, which was like warm soup."

Master Guan exposed his shortcomings and made it clear that he was not a true hero, and Guan Zhong gradually seemed to understand.

“Master, I also think Miss Yu is not an ordinary person, not like a barbarian, although she eats a little too much.

However, when it comes to demeanor, my vision is not as good as yours, so I cannot comment on it.

If I say that she has the appearance of a peerless beauty, isn't that an exaggeration?"

After saying that, he quickly added: "Master, you have always followed the way of a gentleman and rarely get close to women. It is inevitable that you have some..."

"Do you think I haven't seen enough women to distinguish between beauty and ugliness?" Guan Huchen squinted at him, "Have you forgotten my immortal eyes?

All the young ladies within a thousand miles are like lines on the palm of your hand.

I have seen more beautiful women than you have ever met in your life."

"Master, you actually use the eyes of an immortal to look at women?!" Guan Zhong was shocked and began to worry.

He had a wife and three concubines.

In addition, he also had mistresses in different places such as Tianmen Town, Yingxiang Prefecture, and Luodu.

He thought that his aesthetic taste was normal, and that his wife, concubine, and mistress were all beauties picked from thousands.

He has a daughter and a mother. Could it be that the master has seen everything?
“Everyone has a youth, when they are full of vigor and vitality.”

Hu Chen admitted it calmly.

But he also told the truth.

At first I saw excitement, then I saw calmness, then it disappeared from my sight, and then I started to see handsome boys and strong men.

After all, clairvoyance is not aimed at single men and women.

Husband and wife, adultery, adultery, and adultery... you can see it all. He has seen it all, and it is as detailed as observing the lines on the palm of your hand.

Hu Chen is a young man from a noble family, rich and powerful.

He is not limited to hiding behind the computer screen and chattering excitedly. He can practice anything he wants.

In the end, he reached the state of emptiness and became completely desensitized to matters between men and women.

Now, nothing can arouse his strong feelings except the "great future".

Therefore, in recent years, he has gradually earned the reputation of a "gentleman" among the public.

"I still feel that Miss Yu is a little far from being a peerless beauty. Alas, my eyesight is limited and not as good as yours." Guan Zhong said stubbornly and chose to compromise.

"Even if Miss Yu has the appearance of a peerless beauty, temperament and talent, and can hire a famous teacher to train her, how can you send a lowly Shaman to the imperial capital of Xianyang?"

If you really have such powerful means, wouldn’t it be better to send Miss Tianfeng over directly?

Hu Chen was a little impatient and said, "Master, I have been talking for a long time, and you nodded on the surface, but you still don't agree in your heart, right?"

Guan Zhong said quickly: "I am convinced! But just having natural wisdom, extraordinary bearing and beautiful appearance is not enough!

The Qin Dynasty was the most powerful country in China. What kind of extraordinary women did it not have?

It is said that many Chinese monarchs have been favored by goddesses and fairies.

Without connections, even a true fairy maiden in heaven cannot see the emperor."

Hu Chen smiled proudly, “After all, she is just a Shaman, her status is too low.

No matter how smart and magnanimous she is, I would never want to send her to the Xianyang Palace.

I'm not crazy, I'm very self-aware.

But I still took the initiative to acknowledge her as my adopted daughter for two reasons. "

He raised his right hand and pointed his index finger, "First of all, it is the custom of the Chinese nation that when one goes on an expedition to conquer barbarians and returns victorious, one must offer captives to the Imperial Ancestral Temple to demonstrate one's military achievements.

Kill the enemy chief and offer sacrifice to the ancestors.

Bring beautiful women from foreign countries into the palace to serve the king.

There are countless precedents for this.

Yu'er reminded me at that time.

With her status, talent and beauty, if she acts properly, she may have a chance to enter the Xianyang Palace.

There is just a chance.

The chances are still very, very slim.

Just crossing the 800-li Quicksand River is extremely difficult.

Marquis Lieyang didn't bring many people with him when he came, and he won't bring a large number of Western "beauties" with him when he leaves.

But my Yu'er is not only a beauty who can bring disaster to the country.

The most important thing is that she looks very similar to another woman. "

"Similar to whom?" Guan Zhong asked in surprise.

"The mother of Lieyang Hou Yu Yu, the most beloved concubine of the Emperor!" Hu Chen laughed proudly.
