The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 71 Double Happiness

The dispute over the Grand Ceremony during the Jiajing reign was about whether Jiajing was the son of his biological father or the son of Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao's father.

But there is no such trouble if there is one son and two descendants.

If Li Jingxiao really marries Yuanchun in the future, the child he has with her will still call him dad.

But the child belongs to the second branch of the family in Beijing, and he has to offer sacrifices to Li Huaili and Li Huaili's father every year.

Some children are separated from the family when they are born, and inherit the lineage of their uncle.

Although Li Jingxiao did not have to worry about the distribution of property, he still had to face the question of whether the title would be passed on to Qin Keqing's son or the child of his second uncle's daughter-in-law?

When this question came out, Qin Ye and Li Huaili looked at Li Jingxiao in surprise.

This guy didn't even say a word of refusing and agreed immediately.

Second Uncle was naturally very happy, but Qin Ye snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction.

Then, without waiting for his second uncle to speak, Qin Ye thought that as a father, he still had to fight for his daughter.

He took the initiative to say, "Since ancient times, first come first served has been important. My daughter is naturally the eldest wife of the Li family in Jiangzhou."

Li Jingxiao thought about it and thought to himself that this was indeed the case.

Everything does have a first come first served order, but it doesn’t matter to my second uncle.

Although it was Jia Zhen's idea, what the second uncle wanted was that after a hundred years, his descendants would burn incense and paper money for him.

Otherwise, you will have to go to see your ancestors. Not only will you be ashamed to see them, but you will also be helpless in the underworld in the future.

He even thought that if he helped Li Jingxiao to marry another wife, he would have the confidence to meet his elder brother after meeting him.

As for whether the Jia family agrees to marry into the second wife's family, the second uncle doesn't care.

Some even thought that finding a minor official's biological daughter as a daughter-in-law would be a good thing.

To prevent the daughters of noble families from becoming spoiled and difficult to get along with.

However, since it was Jia Zhen who thought of this matter, and he came to discuss it with me in person.

Now my nephew and father-in-law only care about who will be the eldest daughter-in-law, which means they agree to shoulder the responsibility.

Then I have to go to Ningguo Mansion and talk to Jia Zhen in person.

Thinking of this, the second uncle didn't say anything more and directly agreed that Qin Keqing would be the daughter-in-law of the first wife.

Then, without giving Li Jingxiao and Qin Ye a chance to regret, he stood up, said goodbye, got on the sedan chair and went to the Jia family.

After everyone left, Li Jingxiao and Qin Ye, the father-in-law and son-in-law, were still looking at each other.

Finally, Qin Ye sighed, "Forget it, this must have been the Jia family's idea.

Jingyou, I have only one request. Keqing's child must be the heir to the title of Earl of Xing'an."

Seeing that his father-in-law compromised so quickly, Li Jingxiao had no reason to refuse.

He also realized at this time that the only daughter of the Jia family who was of marriageable age was Jia Yuanchun.

Yingchun and Tanchun were still children, and Xichun, who was born after Jia Jing became a Taoist priest, was only two or three years old.

The most important thing is that Yuanchun is also one of the Twelve Golden Hairpins. If you marry her, you can also gain experience from her.

Plus, marrying Qin Keqing means double the experience and double the happiness.

He hurriedly clasped his fists and promised repeatedly that Qin Keqing would not only be the eldest daughter-in-law, but also that when she gave birth to a son in the future, he would immediately appoint the eldest son as the heir.

As for the offspring of the second wife, I, as their father, will work hard to earn them some honors and titles in the future.

Qin Ye thought about it for a moment and realized that others were just bragging when they said that.

But his son-in-law is a real Taoist master.

The Ministry of Works was in charge of the construction and maintenance of the imperial mausoleum. What happened at the imperial mausoleum could be hidden from other officials, but not from the people in the Ministry of Works.

Not to mention, quite a few officials had their homes confiscated by the factory guards these days.

Although they were all arrested on charges of corruption and abuse of power, everyone in the court knew that these people were related to the deposed crown prince.

In addition, it is impossible to completely conceal what happened in the imperial mausoleum, so it is too late for the civil and military officials in the court to distance themselves from it. Who would dare to stand up and seek death at this time?

As for the exorcism and ghost hunting at the Earl of Xing'an's mansion, there were so many people in the mansion at the time, including the Jinyiwei and the foreign guards. Even if they were strictly ordered not to spread the news, this matter could not be concealed.

So Qin Ye told Li Jingxiao that he would earn a title for the second wife's heir in the future, without any doubt.

He nodded and said, "Okay, as long as you have an idea."

After saying that, Qin Ye wanted to go home and talk about this with his daughter.

Li Jingxiao did not keep him and sent his future father-in-law out. By the way, he also gave him three mastery-level exorcism talismans and told his father-in-law to keep them carefully.

Li Jingxiao has plenty of these things, so he doesn't feel bad about giving them away, not to mention protecting his future daughter-in-law and father-in-law. It would be a problem if he didn't do it.

In order to gain Qin Ye's trust, Li Jingxiao also used his internal strength to activate three evil-repelling talismans.

Then a divine light flashed on the talisman, and a brilliant light moved around the cinnabar of the talisman before disappearing into the talisman.

Qin Ye's breathing became heavier as he looked at it. With an expression of great joy, he quickly put it against his chest and kept it carefully.

Then he looked at Li Jingxiao with a kind face and said, "Jingyou, it is a blessing for our Qin family to have a son-in-law like you."

Li Jingxiao laughed heartily, "It is a great honor for the Li family that my son-in-law can marry your daughter."

Qin Ye laughed out loud after hearing this. His daughter was extremely talented and beautiful, and she was also virtuous and filial. This boy was indeed lucky.

But on the way home in the sedan chair, I suddenly had an idea.

He thought to himself, since this kid has never met Keqing, he is just an official in the Ministry of Works.

In the past, Jing You was just an eighth-rank official with no foundation or support, so it was understandable that he agreed to this marriage without hesitation.

But at this time, Jingyou inherited the title of Earl of Xing'an, and things were no longer the same as before. Now he was even willing to refuse the girl from the Jia family.

That doesn't make sense.

After thinking about it carefully, I cursed inwardly.

Could it be that this kid had used some unknown means to see Keqing in secret?
The more I think about it, the more I feel that my guess is right.

After all, the kid just showed off his power in front of him. Even a fool wouldn't believe him if he said he had no other Taoist magical powers.

Thinking of this, Qin Ye couldn't help but curse.

But when the sedan arrived home, his expression changed, and he smiled and walked quickly into the house.

Although he was angry that this boy was peeping at his girl, since he was determined to marry Keqing, wouldn't it be better if the son-in-law was more powerful?

If you insist on being too picky about etiquette, you will only cause yourself trouble!

Besides, the marriage has been decided and my daughter will be married in 7 days. It’s a waste of time to think so much.

What's more, it is impossible to ask Li Jingxiao to verify this matter.

When Qin Ye saw his daughter, he first sighed and talked about the Jia family's fight for a son-in-law.

As expected, Keqing and her youngest son Qin Zhong were horrified, but fortunately Qin Ye only suppressed them first and then praised them.

He mentioned the idea of ​​one son and two generations again, and Li Jingxiao repeatedly assured that his daughter was the daughter-in-law of the eldest son, and his son was the heir to the title of Earl of Xing'an.

This made Qin Keqing and Qin Zhong smile happily.

As for Li Huaili, after he went to Ningguo Mansion, he discussed with Jia Zhen. Jia Zhen was dissatisfied at first, but then he heard the hint in Li Huaili's words.

Li Jingxiao agreed to take over the throne, which was a decision he made after he had sacrificed his reputation and begged for a long time.

Moreover, Li Huaili wanted his own branch so that he could have offspring to worship in the future, regardless of whether the daughter was from the Jia family.

If it can be accomplished naturally, that would be the best. If it cannot be accomplished, he will not force it.

Jia Zhen almost burst into curses after hearing this.

So after I came up with this idea, you, Li Huaili and Li Jingxiao, uncle and nephew, actually didn't care whether the second wife was a girl from the Jia family?

Isn't this just destroying the bridge after crossing it? Are the uncle and nephew teaming up to bully others?
I, Jia Zhen, have always been the one bullying others, but I never expected that I would be bullied to my full potential now.

But when Jia Zhen was about to get angry, he thought of his biological father Jia Jing.

All the anger disappeared in an instant.
