The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 75 New Home
If Jia Zhu succeeded in the imperial examination and was selected as a Jinshi by the emperor, he would be a disciple of the emperor.

Jia Zheng and his son, one is the emperor's man, and the other is the emperor's man.

The Jia family was also using the most stable method to get closer to the emperor.

Unfortunately, in the original novel, Jia Zhu died early, which disrupted the Jia family's plan.

At this time, Li Jingxiao couldn't help but feel that Jia Zhu was seriously ill, and there might be someone behind the scenes who was unwilling to let the Jia family smoothly pass through the critical moment of the transfer of imperial power.

"Father-in-law, my uncle was seriously ill some time ago. Do you have any advice?"

Xia Shouzhong's pupils shrank, and Li Jingxiao immediately noticed it.

"Looks like we're really in trouble," Li Jingxiao murmured, pretending to regret, "I shouldn't have listened to my second uncle. The Jia family has been a noble family for generations, and we've never done anything wrong.

My ancestors had two dukes who had made outstanding contributions and were favored by the Saint and His Majesty. They were more suitable to be in-laws than other dukes or marquises.

Now it seems that I shouldn't have agreed to marry into the Jia family."

After listening to this, Xia Shouzhong chuckled and whispered, "Jingyou, your second uncle is right. His Majesty really values ​​the Jia family.

However, although it is an honor to have two princes in one family, it cannot prevent the descendants from not living up to their expectations.

I don’t know how many people’s future was blocked back then.

Once the Jia family fell into decline, let alone those who had previously been at odds with the Jia family.

Even if it's a small matter, there are still people who don't want to see the Jia family prosper again."

After saying this, Xia Shouzhong suddenly worried that Li Jingxiao would get stuck in a rut, so he quickly added, "The affairs of the previous generation and the generation before that have nothing to do with you, so just stay out of it.

Besides, you are just marrying a girl from the Jia family, not marrying into the Jia family's family. Just do your best.

As for who has a grudge against the Jia family, it will not implicate you.

Otherwise, it would just mean adding a powerful rival to a Taoist master like you. No one would be so stupid.

Not to mention, who doesn’t have minor illnesses and disasters in their family?

If the imperial physician is helpless, he will eventually have to turn to you for help.

As long as you focus on your work, get married, and have more children, everyone will be relieved."

Li Jingxiao rolled his eyes after hearing this, but when he thought about it, it made sense. He was alone now and had no ties.

If anyone offends me, I can't kill him openly, but judging from my performance in recent times.

Most people think that since they can eliminate evil spirits, once they become ruthless, their sinister methods will definitely not be worse than those of demons and witches.

The enemy's entire family was killed, and the government and the court had no evidence to accuse him of doing it.

But it will be different when you have children and a title.

"Okay, I'll try to get two wives and have four children in three years. Then, don't forget to attend the wedding and send gifts.

Also, when my child turns one month old or one year old, please take time out of your busy schedule to come over for a drink."

Now it was Xia Shouzhong's turn to roll his eyes.

If I really did what Li Jingxiao said, I would have to give gifts when he got married.

Gifts are given when a child is born, and what’s even more outrageous is that they are thinking about their red envelopes when the child is one month old or one year old.

Damn it, if Li Jingxiao really had four children in three years and eight children in six years, I would have to spend several thousand taels of silver just as a gift.

He hurriedly bowed to Li Jingxiao and said, "I won't chat with you any more. I have to return to the palace early to report to His Majesty about the blessing."

After saying this, the eunuch hurried out of Zhenwu Temple.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but laugh when he saw it.

The Jinyiwei outside the Zhenwu Hall, as well as the young eunuchs and guards who followed Xia Shouzhong, could not help but look at Xia Shouzhong curiously, and then at Li Jingxiao who walked out of the hall.

I thought to myself, Eunuch Xia suffered a loss at the hands of Lord Li and had to flee in the end?
People like Erfu naturally straightened their backs a lot more.

The young eunuchs and the guards of the factory silently reminded themselves not to offend this master in the future.

Otherwise, if I report the matter to Eunuch Xia, he will have to apologize, and then I will be even more unlucky.

After Li Jingxiao sent Xia Shouzhong away, he thought for a moment and decided to go to the large courtyard with three entrances that Lin Ruhai had given him. But before leaving, he still called Li Jingxi and her three sisters.

I made an appointment with Qin Ye yesterday to get married in seven days, and today is the first day.

There are actually only 6 days left to prepare for the wedding.

If you don't prepare now and something goes wrong during your marriage, you'll be the one who makes a fool of yourself.

After thinking about it, he arranged for someone to invite the matchmaker who had proposed the marriage before.

By the way, he also called three Taoist priests: Liu Hongshi, Lin Yi and Shi Delong.

It’s no wonder that Liu Hongshi and the other two are indeed well-versed in matters of marriage.

In addition to the matchmaker who received a reward of 20 taels of silver, Jia Heng's mother, Jia Chen, was also there to provide advice.

The specific tasks were left to Erfu and a dozen other personal guards, the maids and servants around the three Jingxi sisters, and the male servants of the Xing'an Earl's Mansion.

With Jingxi's assistance, Li Jingxiao no longer had to worry about the preparations for the wedding.

I simply took Jingyue and Jingrong to visit this courtyard house covering an area of ​​12 acres.

Although it only has three courtyards, the previous owner of this house was an imperial merchant.

They are not short of money, but they are not high-status, so they would only dare to build a courtyard with three entrances. Otherwise, four or five entrances would be no problem.

So since it is impossible to build beyond the standard, just build it bigger.

This house is much larger than a normal three-courtyard house.

It is a yard about 120 meters long and 66 meters wide.

It feels bigger than the five-courtyard Xing'an Earl's Mansion, otherwise there would be no pavilions and terraces.

However, compared with the Ning and Rong mansions, it is much smaller.

It took me almost an hour to walk around the place with my two younger sisters.

Of course, if you just want to take a quick look around, it will probably only take about ten minutes.

The main house in the central courtyard is naturally the residence of Li Jingxiao, the head of the family.

The wing rooms on the east and west sides are usually occupied by the wife and the eldest son.

Now, Qin Keqing and Jia Yuanchun each have a room.

Jing Yue pulled Jing Rong and asked for three adjacent rooms on the east side of the backyard.

The three sisters live together and have someone to take care of them.

The main hall in the backyard and the wing rooms and townhouses on the west side were left for future nephews and nieces.

As for the maids, old women and servants, there were more than twenty row houses, back houses and side rooms, enough to accommodate dozens of servants.

By the time Li Jingxiao brought his two cousins ​​back to the central courtyard, Liu Hongshi and others had almost finished their discussion.

After reporting this to Li Jingxiao, Li Jingxiao felt a bit of a headache.

Marriage in ancient times was indeed troublesome, let alone marriage between powerful and wealthy families.

Simply let Liu Hongshi make two copies, one to send to his father-in-law Qin Ye, and the other to the witness Shen Boping from the Daoluo Division.

After saying that, he suddenly felt Jing Xi, who was standing next to him, pulling his sleeve.

Li Jingxiao guessed what the little girl was thinking after just a little thought.

He mentioned it again, "Forget it, send the portion for Lord Qin to my second uncle, the advisor."

Liu Hongshi originally felt that it was inappropriate for his master to give the marriage plan to his father-in-law.

Hearing this, he nodded quickly.
