The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 126: Too much trouble
When everyone heard Li Jingxiao say that he would let his second uncle take a pill of Jiuhua Yulu Pill every month from now on, they really breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the statement "How long it can last depends entirely on God's will".

My second uncle himself feels that every extra month of life is a gain.

After Li Jingxiao took out the Nine Flowers Jade Dew Pills, he asked Jingxi to bring water and personally helped his second uncle take them.

In just a few tens of seconds, my second uncle's breathing became much easier.

But in fact, his health bar limit dropped a lot again.

If a normal person's health bar is 100, my second uncle should only have 60 or 70 now.

The next time the disease breaks out, the market will drop another ten or twenty points.

Forcibly using Jiuhua Yulu Pills to replenish blood is just a way to delay time.

Chu Xiangqian had said similar words to his second uncle, second aunt, Jing Xi and others two or three months ago.

So the family's ability to accept is quite strong.

After his second uncle went to rest, Li Jingxiao, who had just had lunch with him, directly refused the suggestion of staying for dinner.

At around 1:00 p.m., he took his wife, Baozhu and Ruizhu back home.

It’s better to let Jingxi and the other three stay to accompany their second uncle.

Otherwise, when even the medicine produced in the game can’t cure my second uncle’s illness in the future, it will be too late to spend more time with him.

However, if the three sisters want to go back to their eldest brother and his wife in a few days, Li Jingxiao will naturally not object.

After returning home, Qin Keqing had just sat down to drink a sip of tea when she drove the maid out.

Sitting beside him, she whispered, "Sir, I think while my second uncle is still alive, we should not make things too awkward with my three sisters' uncles."

Li Jingxiao looked at his wife in confusion. On the way back, he had already thought about how to take revenge on the Dingcheng Marquis' Mansion.

Qin Keqing saw that her man was not angry about what she had just said.

But the anger in his eyes was still there.

I can only slightly change the words of persuasion.

Qin Keqing is not stupid, on the contrary she is very smart. In her heart, her husband is her heaven.

He spoke to comfort him only because he was worried that Li Jingxiao would do something extreme in anger.

After thinking for a moment, she continued, "I have no objection to your Excellency teaching the Dingcheng Marquis a lesson.

But to be honest, there is not much hatred between our two families.

It's just a grudge over money and face, just punish them.

But if I take drastic measures because of this, I am worried that my relatives will not dare to visit me in the future.

Besides, when we have children and they grow up, it will be hard to find a son-in-law.”

When Li Jingxiao heard his wife say that it was difficult to find a son-in-law, he wondered why it was easy to find a daughter-in-law.

But then he thought, as long as he still has power, there will be many girls who want to marry him.

Moreover, it is a good thing for the daughter-in-law and in-laws if the father-in-law protects his daughter-in-law.

But as for the son-in-law, with such a grumpy father-in-law around, few young men dare to marry a girl from the Li family.

He smiled helplessly and shook his head, which showed that Qin Keqing was indeed smart.

Just a few words dispelled most of Li Jingxiao's anger.

Qin Keqing continued, "Moreover, the Earl of Dingcheng is only a third-rank general in his generation.

I heard from my elder and second younger sisters that most of the children in the Earl of Dingcheng's family are spoiled brats.

When I visited him again a few years later, his family had completely fallen into decline.

And to put it bluntly, when the official is around, there are many people who curry favor with the powerful and are trying to find ways to cause trouble for his family.

All you have to do is sit back and watch his family suffer."

Li Jingxiao knew that what his wife said was right, but since he had a grudge, he would take revenge immediately.

If you don’t vent your anger, you will feel unhappy and won’t be able to practice well.

He put his arm around Qin Keqing and kissed her on the face.

My daughter-in-law is so virtuous, so I can keep some things from her so that she won’t worry.

And just as Qin Keqing herself said, she didn't have to do it herself, just find a few people she had a good relationship with and give them a few hints.

Even if he just called Jia Rong over and gave him a few instructions, that kid would definitely find a way to vent his anger.

Moreover, the Jia family has so many old connections that it is no exaggeration to say that they are the top local tyrants in the capital.

Given the relationship between Ningguo Mansion and Qiu Liang, Jia Rong went there in person, and Qiu Liang could take care of the rest.

He smiled and said to Qin Keqing, "Madam is right."

After saying this, he smiled and praised, "As the saying goes, a virtuous wife is better than a thousand acres of fertile land. Madam is my virtuous wife."

To Qin Keqing, these words sounded better than countless sweet words.

At night, I served him wholeheartedly.

The next morning, Li Jingxiao finished his morning exercise and it was already 8 o'clock.

I was just thinking about whether to wake Qin Keqing up and have breakfast together, or let her sleep a little longer, after all, the battle last night was quite intense.

But when he entered the main room, he saw Qin Keqing had already finished washing up.

He took a wooden sword from the little maid and said seriously.

"Sir, today I will avenge my five consecutive losses yesterday."

Li Jingxiao couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This time, Li Jingxiao did not discourage his wife's enthusiasm. He accompanied Qin Keqing to practice Quanzhen swordsmanship over and over again.

Then he smiled and casually grabbed Qin Keqing's hand and pulled her into his arms.

Her hands were held and her body could not move. In Qin Keqing's mind, she naturally lost.

After practicing three times in a row, Li Jingxiao gained 150 experience points, and Qin Keqing then allowed Baozhu and Ruizhu to play.

The experience I gained from my daughter-in-law was less than yesterday.

I can only take more from Baozhu and Ruizhu.

By the time she had breakfast, the smile on Qin Keqing's face never faded.

Li Jingxiao glanced at Baozhu and Ruizhu, who had lost their fighting spirit after a terrible defeat, and thought to himself that what the old saying said was right.

Happiness is always built on the suffering of others.

After breakfast, I naturally had to go to my father-in-law’s house on the second day of the New Year.

Qin Keqing took Baozhu and Ruizhu to wash and dress up.

Li Jingxiao glanced at his character column.

Level 17 (1030/1700)

Immortality and Eternal Spring Skill - Minor Success (338/500)

Lightning Thunder Fist - Minor Success (246/500)

I haven't practiced sword-wielding much these past few days, so I'm just getting started (46.2/200).

Looking at other martial arts, Li Jingxiao was standing under the eaves of the yard, waiting for Qin Keqing.

When you are bored, you naturally have to do something.

After thinking about it, he took out a steamed bun from the inventory.

Pinch out some steamed bun crumbs with your fingers, knead them into dough, and flick them with your fingers.

It hit a plum tree more than ten meters away, knocking down a plum blossom.

After just a dozen times, there were fewer and fewer plum blossoms on the plum tree, so Li Jingxiao could only set his sights on the weapon rack, the red tassel of the red tassel spear.

It was almost ten o'clock, and the Finger Magic had already reached full perfection (10/5000).
Qin Keqing dressed neatly and walked out of the main room with the help of Baozhu, Ruizhu and several maids.

Li Jingxiao's clothes were simple. On New Year's Eve, the palace gave him a marquis's robe.

According to Xia Shouzhong, the nobles did not trust the skills of the embroiderers on the market.

Every year, she would spend some money to ask the embroiderers from the Imperial Household Department to help her make a few new heavy clothes, long gowns, cloaks, etc.

So Xia Shouzhong simply took out an excellent Qilin costume and let Li Jingxiao wear it first.

Anyway, it won't be wrong for dukes, marquises, earls and princes-in-law to wear Qilin costumes.

But Li Jingxiao knew as soon as he heard it that the nobles asked the embroiderers of the Imperial Household Department to make robes, which was just a disguised way of bribing the eunuchs in the palace.

Although the official robes of officials will be issued by the court.

But there are always accidents. If the official robe is damaged, you have to find someone to make it again or buy one yourself.

A high-quality official uniform for the fourth rank would cost five or six hundred taels of silver on the market. Sixth and seventh rank official uniforms would also cost two or three hundred taels. Many officials from poor families could only buy second-hand official robes.

But to be honest, the embroiderers in the Imperial Household Department have really excellent skills.

After all, the emperor's dragon robe was also made by these embroiderers.

And basically all of them are embroiderers from Suzhou.

Xia Shouzhong also instructed that the Ministry of Internal Affairs would embroider a few more robes for him for the spring and summer seasons.

Even the court robes that he rarely wore were prepared to be embroidered with two sets for him as a backup.

Otherwise, if Li Jingxiao hired someone to make it himself, it would take longer and the quality would definitely not be as good as that of the embroiderers in the Imperial Household Department.

More importantly, a marquis's court robes would cost at least five or six hundred taels of silver.

If it’s better, it’s not uncommon to cost over a thousand taels.

Li Jingxiao naturally understood what Xia Shouzhong meant.

In order to show their favor to these eunuchs, ordinary earls, marquises, and even dukes would give them money in the name of filling their pockets with new clothes.

Xia Shouzhong, in turn, tried to please him by making official uniforms, court robes and noble robes for free.

A group of people arrived at the Qin family in three sedan chairs, and more than thirty servants, maids and guards.

I saw my father-in-law and brother-in-law from afar. They had received the news in advance and were waiting at the gate.

Li Jingxiao dismounted from his horse about ten meters away and quickly stepped forward to salute.

Qin Ye was so proud at this moment, because his daughter was marrying down when she got engaged to Li Jingxiao.

When the two got married, Li Jingxiao was already a first-class general and the Jinyiwei pacification envoy, and they were already a well-matched couple.

Unexpectedly, in just half a year, the son-in-law won back the title of earl with his own ability.

Now, due to his merits, he was promoted to hereditary marquis, and his daughter became a marquise.

I wonder how many colleagues and ladies will be envious of me.

Moreover, the son-in-law is very close to his only son.

Not only was he taught to read and write, but he was also taught the secrets of Taoism.

It can be said that if she still had a daughter, Qin Ye would marry Li Jingxiao again without hesitation.

It can be seen how satisfied and fond the old man is of his son-in-law.

When the sedan chair entered the house, she saw her daughter dressed in gorgeous clothes with a rosy complexion, which showed that she was living very well in her husband's home.

Qin Ye stroked his beard and nodded with a smile to Qin Keqing who was bowing to him.

He took Li Jingxiao's wrist and went into the main hall to drink tea and reminisce about the past.

After Qin Zhong reminisced about the past with his sister, he came in and sat next to Li Jingxiao.

Then he asked about Jingxi and the other two.

When the little guy heard that the three sisters had also returned to their parents' home, he couldn't help but feel more balanced.

After lunch, Qin Keqing originally wanted to stay at her parents' home for one night.

But Qin Ye waved his hand and said, "It's not like I'm marrying far away and can hardly come home for three to five years.

You and your wife can live comfortably there."

That being said, Qin Ye actually knew in his heart that his place was small.

It can't accommodate so many people.

Of course, the two families were indeed close to each other, and Qin Keqing would sometimes stay after Li Jingxiao went to the yamen.

Take Qin Zhong in a sedan chair to visit your mother's home.

By the way, I also gave some new clothes, food, paper, ink, brush and inkstone to my old father.

Even several maids were sent over.

Li Jingxiao didn't care about this matter at all.

Wait until her husband is discharged from office, then go home to take care of him.

Li Jingxiao used to go to Zhenwu Temple to see patients every day. Sometimes he would come home late, and by the time he got home, Qin Keqing had already gone home.

So Qin Ye really doesn't miss his daughter that much.

They agreed that on the seventh day of the first lunar month, Qin Zhong would return to the Marquis' Mansion to continue studying and practicing martial arts. At four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jingxiao said goodbye to his father-in-law and brother-in-law.

He took his wife home without any expression of reluctance on her face.

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, early in the morning, all the people who came to congratulate us arrived at once.

This made Li Jingxiao very annoyed, but he had to greet him with a smile.

Moreover, the ladies of various families who had never visited before now came to visit with their sons and their husbands.

The purpose is nothing more than to become a disciple and learn Taoism.

At the very least, I'd like to ask Li Jingxiao for some advice.

It's good to learn a few tricks.

Qin Keqing was different from Li Jingxiao. When she received the female guests, she felt so happy and excited.

At the end of the day, he entertained more than a dozen noble ladies without showing any sign of fatigue.

Li Jingxiao thought about it and realized that this was his daughter-in-law's highlight moment, and no matter how tired she was, she couldn't show it.

Unfortunately, Li Jingxiao was not even a disciple.

It was Jia Zhen who led the team, bringing Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu to the house.

Although he did not directly agree to teach Jia Rong and Jia Baoyu martial arts.

Just saying that you will think about it is, to put it bluntly, just a gesture.

If you agree to something as soon as someone asks you, it becomes worthless.

Li Jingxiao also took the opportunity to hint at something to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, father and son.

Jia Zhen was so eager to pat his chest and promise that he would make the Qiu family suffer.

Afterwards, he felt a little regretful, as Jia Rong and Jing Xi were of different generations. Otherwise, Jia Zhen would have felt that he was marrying above his station if he could marry the eldest daughter of the Li family.

If Li Jingxiao knew what this guy was thinking, I can't guarantee that he wouldn't beat him to death.

In the original novel, Jia Zhen is a shameless man who steals his wife.

Liu Xianglian was absolutely right when he said that the only clean thing in the Jia family was a pair of stone lions.

Jia Zhen stole his wife, and Jia Lian coveted his father's concubine.

It is a scandal in this society that Jia Baoyu is obsessed with his mother's personal maid.

However, in the homes of nobles, there are many absurd and jaw-dropping things happening.

Li Jingxiao himself was also thinking about Jia Yuanchun and the girls from Jia's relatives' families.

It's just the same thing.
-
After seeing Jia Zhen and his group off, the place finally felt a lot quieter.

These days, I have been competing in swordplay with Qin Keqing, Baozhu and Ruizhu every morning.

Experience points increased more than twice as fast as before, and I no longer tortured my wife as much as before every night.

Whether it was Qin Keqing, Baozhu or Ruizhu, they would take a break after each competition.

In the morning, he had to practice three rounds with Qin Keqing. Just from this, he gained 150 experience points.

The same goes for Baozhu and Ruizhu, although both of them gave up every time and each of them only had 25 points.

But the two of them together have 50 points, which means 150 points in three games.

Li Jingxiao was in a very good mood as he earned 400 stable experience points every day.

On the third day of junior high school, Li Jingxiao had already reached level 18 (80/1800)

The newly acquired attribute points were added to the root bones.

体质16、根骨15+2、悟性16+1。

Although Li Jingxiao openly refused to teach Jia Baoyu and Jia Rong.

But he was thinking in his heart that if he could go to the Jia family in advance, he would do so in the name of teaching Jia Yuanchun.

If you compete with Yuanchun in advance, you should get 50 experience points if you win once.

I gain much more experience than seeing patients every day.

By the way, he let Yuanchun teach Jia Baoyu, and he did not break his promise, and the Jia family also benefited.

Naturally I have no objection.
