The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 66 suddenly became a hot topic (seeking monthly ticket)

The second reason is that Wang Xifeng was raised like a boy since she was a child, and she entered and exited Ningguo Mansion as if she were entering and exiting her own home.

There was nothing wrong with playing with Jia Zhen, Jia Lian and other direct descendants of the Jia family.

A girl with this kind of personality would be fine as a playmate when she was young.

But when Jia Lian grew up, he vaguely realized that marrying her would be detrimental to his reputation.

Even thinking deeply, damn, the Wang family has been planning to let their daughter marry someone else into the Jia family.

There is no need to guess what the purpose is. It is obvious that he wants to curry favor with the Jia family. At the same time, the third and fourth generation daughters-in-law are all from the Wang family.

Will the Jia family become a vassal of his Wang family in the future?
Not to mention Lady Jia and Jia Lian, even Lady Wang's own son, Jia Zhu, thought of the same thing, which is why he secretly opposed his mother's decision.

If Li Jingxiao had not appeared, Jia Lian would probably have accepted it even if he understood all this.

After all, even though he was the legitimate heir to the Rongguo Mansion, he had very few marriage partners to choose from.

Either the family backgrounds of the two parties are too different, or their ages are not equal.

But now that he has a better choice, Jia Lian is no longer willing to be plotted against by the Wang family.

After hearing what Jia Lian said, Grandmother Jia fell silent.

If you think about it carefully, if their descendants continue to be rich for several generations, that is indeed what these nobles care about most.

From this perspective, Li Jingyou's status in the emperor's heart is indeed much higher than Wang Ziteng's current status.

More importantly, there are only a few people in the entire Great Zhou who can gain the recognition and trust of both the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor.

After thinking it over again and again, he said to Jia Lian, "Go and call your father, the second master, and Zhu'er."

Jia Lian nodded quickly and walked to the door.

Suddenly, Grandmother Jia said, "Call your elder brother Zhen over as well.

It would be unreasonable not to mention this to him."

Although Jia Zhen is a generation younger than Jia She and Jia Zheng, he is the patriarch of the Jia family after all.

If he didn't tell Jia Zhen about the matters concerning the Wang family, it would indeed make Jia Zhen feel that the relationship between the two families was becoming estranged.
-
Because it was already evening, Jia She, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu arrived at Rongqing Hall soon.

As soon as Li Jingxi, the eldest daughter of the Li family, was mentioned, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu were stunned at first. Jia She even thought that Jia Lian was making a fuss.

But if you think about it carefully, although the family status of the Earl of Xing'an is lower than that of the Ning and Rong families.

But none of the Jia family had any promising members in the past two generations. Instead, they prospered again and could continue to be wealthy for several generations.

If you really count, by the time Jia Rong took over, there was no title to be passed down in Ningguo Mansion.

He only has the glory of being the Duke of Ningguo, but he is actually just an idler.

By the time Jia Lian became the head of the family, he was only a third-class general.

When his son Li Jingxiao was in charge, he was a first-class general.

His grandson and great-grandson were also first-class generals.

At that time, if none of the Jia family's descendants had any promising future, they would have become ordinary people long ago.

Even if Jia Zhu achieves success in the imperial examinations like Lin Ruhai in the future, he can only bring wealth to one generation.

Not to mention, if you study hard and become an official, no matter how high your position is, it will only last for twenty to thirty years.

When you resign and return home, people will forget you and you will never be able to compare to the nobles who can make your family rich for generations.

If you think about it this way, it is indeed a good thing for Jia Lian to marry Li Jingxiao's sister at this time.

Maybe if he follows Li Jingxiao and makes some contributions, the emperor will be happy and Jia Lian will not be demoted to a third-class general when he inherits the title.

Instead, he was given the title of first-class general and was in charge of Rongguo Mansion because of his merits.

When Jia Zhen heard this, he immediately became anxious. He was only a third-class general now, and among the Ning and Rong mansions, Ningguo Manor needed to make achievements the most.

Jia Rong had just returned to Ningguo Mansion, so naturally he had to report in detail about his meeting with Li Jingxiao to Jia Zhen.

So Jia Zhen actually began to think about Li Jingxiao. He quickly said, "Rong'er has reached the age of marriage, and the eldest daughter of the Xing'an Earl's family is only ten years old, seven years younger than Lian'er.

By the time that girl is able to marry, Lian'er will be over 20 years old. This is too difficult for Lian'er."

Li Jingxi is actually 11 years old this year, but Jia Zhen deliberately said he was 10 years old.

And even though he was trying to snatch a wife for his son, it cannot be said that he was wrong.

By the time Li Jingxi is old enough to get married, she has to be at least fourteen or fifteen years old.

After making Jia Lian wait in vain for four or five years, Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zheng couldn't help but hesitate.

On the contrary, Jia Rong is just the right age.

But Jia Lian was not so easy to deal with. Although he was furious, he smiled and said, "Brother Zhen, even if Rong'er is of the right age and status.

But don't forget, Rong'er has to call the eldest daughter of the Li family aunt."

Jia Zhen was stunned. Jia Mu, Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhu all looked at Jia Zhen.

Jia Zhen's face turned red in a few seconds, and he showed an expression of regret and stopped talking.

Jia Lian chuckled inwardly, and when he saw Lady Jia looking at him, he explained, "Last time, after Jingyou saved Brother Zhu, Brother Zhen and I treated him to a drink.

At the banquet, Brother Zhen felt that he had a very pleasant conversation with Jingyou, and asked Rong'er to worship Jingyou as her uncle on the spot.

When Lady Jia and others heard this, they couldn't help but look at Jia Zhen unhappily, and then shook their heads in anger at his lack of fighting spirit.

The expression of regret on Jia Zhen's face became even greater.

He wanted to argue that no one else knew about this.

Moreover, the eldest daughter of the Li family could marry the only heir of Ningguo Mansion, which meant that the Xing'an Earl's Mansion made a huge profit.

But Jia Lian is here, and if I say this, he will definitely make some sarcastic remarks.

He even turned around and ran to Li Jingxiao to complain.

If he really had to choose between Jia Lian and Jia Rong, although Li Jingxiao looked down on both of them, he would indeed favor Jia Lian.

First of all, Jia Lian can inherit the title of third-class general, as his father Jia She is a first-class general after all.

When Jia Rong waited until Jia Zhen, the third-class general, died, Ningguo Mansion became the same as Lin Ruhai's. No matter how prominent your ancestors were, when it came to Jia Rong and Lin Ruhai's generation, they could only rely on their own efforts.

But Jia Rong doesn't look like an ambitious person.

With this calculation, the Ningguo Mansion was indeed in decline, and Jia Rong, a playboy, could not actually marry a girl from a good family.

Secondly, although Jia Lian is a playboy, he actually has some abilities.

Although this guy has all the bad habits of a rich young man, he has strong interpersonal and social skills.

As long as there is a chance, asking him to lead troops to fight will make things difficult for him.

But let him be the deputy, responsible for dispatching and coordinating logistics.

She is also an expert at handling personal relationships and currying favor with superiors.

In this regard, Li Jingxiao felt that he was inferior to him.

Third, of course, Li Jingxiao did not want to be inferior to Jia Lian and Jia Zhen.

Jia Zheng actually has his own little thoughts, and he feels that neither Jia Rong nor Jia Lian are suitable.

He couldn't help but think of marrying Yuanchun to Li Jingxiao again.

After hesitating for a while, Jia Zheng finally decided to be a decent man.

Although he was pedantic, it was precisely because of his pedantry that he could not bring himself to say anything that would cause Qin Ye to cancel the engagement and marry Yuanchun to Li Jingxiao.
