The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 26: Deal with the Father-in-Law First

Qin Ye was given a Sanhua Yulu pill to take with water. After just a dozen seconds, Qin Ye felt a sense of comfort in his lungs.

He was overjoyed and stood up and bowed to Li Jingxiao.

He said with emotion, "I have heard that Lord Li's medical skills are unparalleled. Today, I saw it with my own eyes and realized that the rumors are indeed true."

Li Jingxiao said a few humble words, but Zhao Junming, the flag officer next to him, made a suggestion.

"Sir Qin, a few days ago, the eunuch in charge of the imperial farm came to ask for medical treatment and medicine. One Sanhua Yulu pill cost 10 taels of silver, and Sir Li was a little reluctant to spend it.

In the end, it was only after Eunuch Zhong begged for a long time that Lord Li agreed to give him the medicine."

Qin Ye was stunned, but the officials of the Ministry of Works at the imperial mausoleum had a smug look on their faces.

After Eunuch Zhong returned, he naturally couldn't help showing off.

But when the eunuch asked for medicine, Li Jingxiao did not agree immediately. It took the eunuch's repeated requests before he agreed.

When officials from the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Rites used medicine, they only had to suggest better medicine.

Li Jingxiao took out the Sanhua Yulu Pills without saying a word.

Such obvious differential treatment immediately showed that although Li Jingxiao did not rely on his academic achievements, he still considered himself a scholar.

Naturally, some people began to praise him.

If Li Jingxiao knew, he would definitely curl his lips in his heart.

I didn't know how happy I was when I accepted the money from the eunuch. How could I really treat him differently?

But he said, "It's just that the main medicine of old age is hard to find, so I think that Sanhua Yulu Pills are not necessary to treat Eunuch Zhong's illness."

It would have been better if he hadn't said this, but once he said it, it immediately made people feel that Li Jingxiao really looked down on Eunuch Zhong.

But if it reached the ears of Eunuch Zhong, Li Jingxiao had already tried to persuade him several times.

It was the eunuch himself who disliked Sanqi Powder.

So Li Jingxiao was not worried at all that Eunuch Zhong would feel that he looked down on him.

Since it wasn't Li Jingxiao, it must be the civil officials who deliberately did something bad.

To alienate him from Li Jingxiao, and even to alienate the relationship between the eunuchs and Li Jingxiao, the miracle doctor.

Qin Ye looked at Li Jingxiao not only with gratitude, but also with some other meanings.

He is young, a miracle doctor, and an eighth-rank official. He will definitely not be short of money in the future, and many officials will definitely try to win him over.

Adding all these together, Qin Ye immediately felt that Li Jingxiao was already very impressive among the younger generation.

Not to mention the Jia family's grandchildren and nephews, even some of the third and second-class Jinshi scholars would probably not have a better future than him.

Qin Ye, who has been an official for decades, knows very well that if one wants to get promoted, ability is indeed important, but opportunities and connections are more important.

Any official who had been treated by Li Jingxiao would definitely feel grateful to him.

And for the sake of future health, only a fool would offend him.

If Li Jingxiao had not been so obsessed with fame, wealth and power, he would probably have lived a comfortable life.

Not to mention anything else, officials from top to bottom in the Ministry of Works would definitely be willing to accept a colleague who does not take charge of much work but can cure diseases and work effectively.

Once someone in the family is sick, it is much easier to ask Li Jingxiao to come to the house.

Especially as for offspring, there are too many children who die young these days, and many of them die of colds.

High fever is dangerous in modern society, let alone in ancient times.

Qin Ye subconsciously asked, "How old is Lord Li?"

Li Jingxiao and the officials around him were stunned. The people in the Ministry of Works quickly realized that this official seemed to have a daughter who was about to get married.

Li Jingxiao reacted quickly and answered every question.

When I heard she was only 15, she was just the right age.

As an orphan, he has no brothers or sisters to support him, and no parents to guide him, so his family background seems a bit weak.

But a colleague nearby said with a smile, "You can't choose your birthplace, but this is actually a good thing. You don't have to honor your parents-in-law or take care of your brother-in-law or sister-in-law."

As soon as you enter the house, you will be the mistress of the house. Life will be so comfortable."

After saying this, he looked at Li Jingxiao and continued, "Jingyou will definitely not be short of money in the future. He is handsome and kind-hearted.

You can't find it even with a lantern, so please don't miss it."

Qin Ye nodded subconsciously, then realized that he had asked too many questions.

It was easy for colleagues to see that this was a selection of a son-in-law.

He waved his hands quickly and said it was a misunderstanding.

In fact, she was still thinking about Jia Rong.

At this time, Qin Ye actually had nothing to do with the Jia family.

At most, he was just an official in the Ministry of Works with Jia Zheng.

Moreover, as a sixth-rank official in the Ministry of Works, the heads of the Ning and Rong mansions looked down on him.

Otherwise, Jia Zhen, the lustful and evil man, would have accidentally seen Qin Keqing, who looked like a fairy.

Qin Ye's wish to marry his daughter to Jia Zhen's only son, Jia Rong, was basically wishful thinking.

Fu Shi, the Tongpan of Shuntian Prefecture, held a much higher official position and had much greater power than Qin Ye.

He had a younger sister, Fu Qiufang, who was about to get married and was also very beautiful.

But even if Fu Shi wanted to marry his sister to Jia Baoyu as a concubine, the Jia family would look down on his daughter because they thought Fu Shiguan was younger than them.

This is a concubine, and her brother is the third in command of Shuntian Prefecture.

This shows how arrogant the Jia family is.

Seeing Qin Ye embarrassed, the colleague beside him said with a smile, "My elder brother also has a daughter of marriageable age. If Lord Qin doesn't like her, then this is just a good opportunity for me."

Qin Ye was reluctant to let him go now. It was really hard to find a good son-in-law, not to mention Qin Zhong, the only child in the family, who had not been in good health since childhood.

If I had a brother-in-law who was a miracle doctor, I would have grown up smoothly.

Thinking of this, Qin Ye subconsciously held Li Jingxiao tightly.

The old man also realized later that Li Jingxiao had just become an official and was not very famous.

If he hesitated at this moment, there was no guarantee that someday a powerful person would take the lead and Li Jingxiao would become his son-in-law.

Moreover, if he hesitated any further, Qin Ye was worried that he would anger Li Jingxiao.

A capable person, still a 15-year-old young man, is proud and can't stand being looked down upon.

He hurriedly asked Li Jingxiao, "My dear nephew, are you free these days? I have an only son in my family, and he has been in poor health since he was a child.

I also asked my nephew to come over and help take a look."

Li Jingxiao pretended to be hesitant and didn't say anything, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Qin Ye became anxious now.

He was afraid that his denial of wanting to find a son-in-law had already made Li Jingxiao unhappy.

Fortunately, Li Jingxiao was just pretending and agreed after hesitating for a few seconds.

Since we know that Qin Keqing is one of the most beautiful girls in the Red Mansion.

The opportunity is right in front of you. You’d be a fool not to act sooner rather than later.

Moreover, Qin Keqing is also one of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. If you marry her home, there will be plenty of opportunities to try and gain experience from these "romantic and cunning" women.

Three days later, Li Jingxiao asked for leave and took the small flag officer Zhao Junming and four Daolu Si Lishi to change into casual clothes.

Ride back to Beijing.

He first did some shopping and bought a lot of gifts before bringing people to the door.

When we arrived at the place, we saw the old servant of the Qin family waiting outside the door from afar.
