The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 96: Ability is not important, attitude is the most important
The three Jingxi sisters also received rewards, and each of them received ten gold melon seeds.

I was so excited that I kept saying thank you.

Jingrong even muttered that he would be able to buy lots of candied haws, chicken pancakes, and mung bean cakes in the future.

Then he kept asking Li Jingxiao about the trip out of the city to catch the assassin.

Qin Keqing, Baozhu, Ruizhu, Jingxi, Jingyue and Qin Zhong naturally wanted to listen too.

Moreover, the sisters Jingxi and Jingyue were worried all day long when they thought about themselves and their sister-in-law.

He wished he could immediately become as powerful as Li Jingxiao and help him.

Of course Li Jingxiao would not tell the truth.

Just saying that you are a true cultivator who has achieved success in cultivation, if you can't even deal with a few assassins, then all your more than ten years of hard study and practice will be wasted.

However, after this incident, Qin Keqing, Baozhu, Ruizhu, the three sisters Jingxi and Qin Zhong became much more serious about practicing martial arts.

However, starting from the Southern Song Dynasty, ethical ethics emerged and female family members were not allowed to show their faces in public. The idea of ​​Qin Keqing and others helping Li Jingxiao was at most just a thought.

But Qin Zhong is different, as he is Li Jingxiao's brother-in-law.

If I don’t help my brother-in-law, who else can I help?
Not to mention that Li Jingxiao was so good to him, he became more determined to study hard and practice martial arts.

We chatted until late at night and heard the night watchman's call at midnight.

Qin Keqing then remembered her three sisters-in-law and her younger brother and decided it was time to go to bed.

The four little guys were reluctant to leave and were taken back to their own room by the maids and old women.

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but look at his wife.

Qin Keqing blushed, but she was not as shy as she was a few days ago.

It seems that his wife was very excited about the restoration of his title of Earl of Xing'an.

Li Jingxiao laughed heartily, and without caring about the smell of alcohol on his body, he picked up Qin Keqing and walked inside.

Baozhu and Ruizhu naturally served as Qin Keqing's helpers.

There came a battle between three heroes and Lu Bu.

Unfortunately, Li Jingxiao's Lu Bu is not strong enough.

Unable to withstand the three-man fight, he ended up foaming at the mouth and collapsed to the ground.

The next day, not long after arriving at the yamen, Li Jingxiao, who was practicing the immortal Changchun Gong, suddenly felt his ears move.

After listening carefully for a moment, I had no choice but to give up.

He thought to himself that it looked like he couldn't practice martial arts in peace today.

Sure enough, wave after wave of ancestral relatives came directly to the yamen to congratulate him.

Fortunately, the accompanying gifts were delivered directly to the home by servants.

Otherwise, it would take a lot of effort to carry back several loads of gifts per person.

Among these people, the Jia family was naturally the happiest, most envious and excited.

Although the Jia family was of high status, with two dukes in the family, by this generation, there was only one first-class general and one third-class general, and their family was indeed in decline.

The only ones who can be considered the strongest in the Jia family are actually Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng.

Unfortunately, even Lin Ruhai, who passed the imperial examination and became the third place in the imperial examination, served as "Doctor of Lantai Temple" and "Inspector of Salt".

The help it provided to the Jia family was actually very small.

On the contrary, the Jia family's connections in Jiangnan are still needed to stabilize the salt business in Jiangnan.

It’s not that easy to make money from the Jiangnan salt merchants and the officials behind them.

Moreover, Lin Ruhai was indeed a bit nerdy. Not only did he not use some of his methods, he also thought that the salt merchants and the forces behind them would not dare to harm him, the Imperial Inspector of Salt.

In the original novel, the wife and children of the imperial envoy died of illness one after another while he was in office.

His only daughter had to be sent to the capital to avoid disaster.

In the end, he died in office, which is quite strange.

It seems even more cowardly.

In fact, the benefits Lin Ruhai gained from the Jia family far exceeded the benefits he gave back to the Jia family.

A scholar is good for nothing. You talk to others about morality, but they talk to you about who has a lower bottom line.

Li Jingxiao is different. If anyone wants to deal with him, he will kill the other person first.

As for Wang Ziteng, he even became the governor of the Beijing camp because of his connections with the Jia family.

In such a comparison, Li Jingxiao, who relies entirely on himself, seems to be more capable.

Now that his ancestral title of earl has been restored, he can enjoy wealth and prosperity for generations.

In addition, the emperor's favor is growing, so many nobles in the capital come to him to establish a relationship with him.

Fortunately, I invited my colleagues and subordinates from the Embroidered Uniform Guard to have a drink at Guangfeng Tower yesterday.

Otherwise, there would be more people coming to congratulate today.

After seeing off wave after wave of relatives and friends, he personally escorted his three former superiors from the Daoluo Division, Shen Boping, Rao Guangxian, and Yu Fubao, out the door.

Then the three brothers Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian came with Jia Rong.

Seeing this, Shen Boping and the other two didn't say much, just bowed and said a few words, then bowed to Jia Zhen and the others and left.

As soon as they met, Jia Zhen bowed from a few meters away, and Jia Zhu and Jia Lian followed suit.

Jia Rong even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Jingxiao.

Shouting loudly, "Nephew congratulates uncle."

Li Jingxiao laughed heartily, and in a hurry, appeared in front of Jia Zhen and the other two, and helped Jia Zhen and Jia Zhu up.

Then he flicked his sleeves and helped Jia Lian up from a distance.

Then he looked at Jia Rong who was kowtowing to him, and said to Jia Zhen, "Brother Zhen, Rong'er is too honest."

Jia Zhen said nonchalantly, "In terms of seniority, you are his uncle.

In terms of status, I, your brother, have to bow to you.

Moreover, my father sent someone from Xuanzhen Temple to pass on a message to me yesterday.

It is said that the true disciples of Maoshan Sect went to Xuanzhen Temple, and my father has already received the true teachings of Maoshan.

Rong'er kowtows to you a few times, but who knows, in the future, when my father succeeds in cultivation, I will kowtow to you to express my gratitude."

Jia Zhen always liked to humiliate his own son to demonstrate his authority as a father.

He said this sincerely, but Li Jingxiao shook his head and said quickly that it was not necessary.

He thought to himself that it should be no problem for Jia Jing to cultivate internal strength, after all, he had personally instructed Shi Delong.

Maoshan would definitely teach Jia Jing a technique that is easy to learn and can cultivate internal strength, but is difficult to practice to a high level.

However, as long as they can get in, for people like Jia Jing, it would be their wish come true.

My determination to practice Buddhism will definitely be stronger in the future.

After thinking about it, Li Jingxiao took out a level 1 fire-controlling talisman from the game inventory.

When it was revealed, the runes on the fire-controlling talisman were still flashing with flames, and it was presented to Jia Rong.

“Rong’er, this is a fire control talisman. If you know archery or concealed weapon techniques, you can use a bow and crossbow to shoot at evil spirits or bad people, and a ball of flame will explode.

Flames are always the best at suppressing evil spirits, so I'll give it to you to play with."

When this talisman comes into Jia Rong's hands, Jia Jing will definitely be curious about it. Once he gains some internal strength, he will definitely become addicted to the art of talismans.

There will be more times in the future when you will be asked for help from yourself.

Instead of spending so much money every year on useless alchemy.

It would be better to give all this money to yourself.

Of course, Li Jingxiao didn’t really care about money. He was more concerned about You Erjie.

Since Third Sister You has been confirmed, she will be Yuanchun's dowry.

It would be better if the sisters could come together as dowry.

In terms of beauty, the You sisters are definitely top-notch. Jia's mother once said that You Erjie looked even prettier than Wang Xifeng.

Jia Rong was ecstatic. He took the fire-controlling talisman with both hands and kowtowed deeply to Li Jingxiao.

Li Jingxiao felt a little embarrassed watching this, because when this kid kowtowed to him, the floor was banging loudly.

Even though this kid has something to ask for, his attitude is very satisfying.

Although Jia Rong was arrogant, extravagant, uneducated, and proficient in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, he really had never done anything evil.

Since Jia Zhu was taking the imperial examination and was the future brother-in-law, it was basically impossible for him to be a mistress in front of Li Jingxiao.

Jia Lian is too shrewd and can never be our good friend.

Jia Yun is smart and not a bad person, but his status is too low. Before they have a chance to meet, Li Jingxiao will definitely not take the initiative to recruit him to work under him.

Moreover, Li Jingxiao had no shortage of cattle and horses, so he didn't care about having one more Jia Yun.

On the contrary, Jia Rong is evil but not malicious, bad but with moderation, and can be seen through at a glance.

Looking at him now, he looks like a complete playboy and a spoiled brat.

Although his ability to get things done is not as good as Jia Lian's, he is not completely useless.

It is really necessary to give some advice to the children of the Jia family in order to achieve Li Jingxiao's own goal.

After much thought, Jia Rong is still more suitable.

Moreover, he let this kid run errands for him, or even work like a slave. Just because he is one generation younger than him, he will be easier to use.

Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu and Jia Lian couldn't help showing envious expressions. They saw the talisman flashing with fire with their own eyes.

If it is in your hands and you encounter evil spirits or bad people, you can save your life by fighting them away.

Jia Rong got such benefits just by kowtowed a few times. As his father and cousin, it would be strange if he and his three brothers were not envious.

Fortunately, thinking that Yuanchun would marry Li Jingxiao after the Chinese New Year, the three brothers secretly said that no matter what, even if they had to spend money to buy them, they had to ask for a few more to protect themselves.

After entering the yamen and drinking tea and chatting for a while, Jia Zhen talked about the purpose of today.

In addition to coming to congratulate Li Jingxiao and thank him for his help in speaking well of him at Maoshan.

It was agreed a few days ago that we would wait for the Ning and Rong mansions to send New Year's goods from their farms in Liaodong.

Invite him to your home for a drink and to try venison, robes and other game.

Li Jingxiao guessed that the Jia family invited him over not only to drink and build closer relationships, but also to take the opportunity to let him meet Yuanchun in advance.

Talk and cultivate feelings.

As for the fact that it's not polite to meet before the wedding, just create an accident.

At the very least, the noble families have always loved watching plays, so it would be no problem for them to see each other from afar across the theater.

And most of those who strictly adhere to this rule are old scholars like Jia Zheng.

Many times, Jia Mu, Jia She and Jia Zhen care about both face and practical interests.

Li Jingxiao nodded in agreement and talked about the appointment he had made with Qiu Liang yesterday to go to Jia's house for a drink.

Jia Zhen agreed without thinking.

He even thought that when he had a dinner party tomorrow, with more old relatives and friends coming, it would be easier for Li Jingxiao and You Sanjie to meet.

As for the meeting with Yuanchun, since Li Jingxiao came, he would definitely go to Rongguo Mansion to pay a visit to the old lady.

Yuanchun was raised by the old lady, so she created an accident and took Li Jingxiao into Rongqing Hall before the servants had time to report it.

Not only did Yuanchun and Li Jingxiao meet, but no outsiders would spread the news.

Li Jingxiao sent the four people from the Jia family away and spent the whole morning entertaining people who came to congratulate him.

Fortunately, starting from noon, fewer people came to the door.

From a little after two o'clock until half past three, no one came to the door, so Li Jingxiao told Erfu and the others to prepare to go to Zhenwu Temple.

After treating seven or eight patients, Li Jingxiao returned home around 5 pm.

It was just at night when Li Jingxiao wanted to have a weekend off with his wife.

Qin Keqing blushed and said with a somewhat sad expression, "My lord, I feel a little unwell today.

Go find Baozhu and Ruizhu."

Li Jingxiao was stunned and thought for a few seconds before realizing that his wife was having her period.

She will be unhappy if she encounters difficulties.

When a new daughter-in-law comes home, the most important thing is to give birth to a child for her husband as soon as possible.

Only after giving birth to the eldest son can the wife's position be more secure.

I thought I would earn tens of billions every day.

Maybe there is already a little life in the belly.

But I didn’t expect that after thinking about it for so many days, I still didn’t get pregnant.

Li Jingxiao hugged his wife and comforted her, "Don't worry, Madam. You and I are still young, and there are plenty of opportunities.

Moreover, having a child at the age of fifteen or sixteen is very risky.

Wait until you are eighteen or nineteen, when your body has fully grown, and then get pregnant. It will be safer for you and the baby."

Qin Keqing pouted and shook her head, "What are you talking about, my lord? There are many girls who give birth to children when they are fourteen or fifteen.

I don't want to marry into the Li family. I haven't been pregnant for two or three years.

Not only will I be sorry to my deceased father-in-law, mother-in-law, and ancestors, but the gossip alone will be enough to embarrass me to death."

Li Jingxiao wanted to persuade her a few more times, but he felt that Qin Keqing was indeed right.

If there is no news for two or three years, even in the 21st century, gossip is bound to spread.

Nowadays, being a new daughter-in-law is even more stressful.

He hugged his wife and said with a smile, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you on this matter. I'll work harder after I'm clean."

Only then did Qin Keqing put her arm around Li Jingxiao's waist with satisfaction, resting her head on his shoulder and laughing.

Li Jingxiao wanted to take care of his daughter-in-law's feelings, so he didn't go to look for Baozhu and Ruizhu.

In order to avoid Qin Keqing worrying, the two maids got pregnant first.

It was even possible that Baozhu and Ruizhu would serve him while he was on duty at the yamen the next day, and they would have to drink "contraceptive soup".

Although Li Jingxiao was not proficient in medicine, he knew that this thing was extremely harmful to the body.

If you drink too much, you will most likely lose your fertility.

Unexpectedly, Qin Keqing couldn't bear to see him suffer, so she pushed him out of the door.

Then he told Baozhu and Ruizhu, who had rosy faces, to serve carefully.

It seems that Yuanchun's marriage in the early spring of next year will put a lot of pressure on the three of them, the master and the servant.

No matter who among Qin Keqing, her master and her servant becomes pregnant first, in the long run, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages for Qin Keqing.

Even if Baozhu and Ruizhu had children, they had to raise them in Qin Keqing's care and call her "mother".

When Li Jingxiao thought about this, he was no longer polite.

Go and have a duel with the two maids.

Unfortunately, there are only 50 experience points tonight.

Fortunately, it is better than nothing.

The next day, as Li Jingxiao arrived outside the government office, he saw Zhou Gongzhi smiling and bowing to him, "Sir, the commander sent me to inform you.

Today we will send the daughter of the Quan family back to Goryeo. If you have time, you may go and see her off."

Li Jingxiao frowned after hearing this, wondering why Quan Zhili was let go so quickly?
But on second thought, the sooner he released the person, the lower the chance that Quan Zhili would be suspected after returning to Saikaido.

As for whether Quan Zhili will be suspected after returning, Li Jingxiao doesn't care.

He just said "I'm busy" to Zhou Gongzhi and told him to get out.
