The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 99 Some are happy and some are worried

Li Jingxiao picked up the boy and walked out of the house first, looking at the surrounding environment.

He asked Jia Baoyu, "Are you ready?"

Jia Baoyu nodded hurriedly and was about to speak when he felt himself floating up. Seeing his body flying higher and higher, his face turned pale.

But when he came to his senses, he found himself on the roof. He hurriedly grabbed Li Jingxiao's arm and only then did he have the mind to turn around and look around.

I immediately felt that the sky was high and the objects were far away, and the entire Ningguo Mansion was in sight.

I suddenly became excited.

When I looked at Lady Jia, my mother, my sister, my elder brother and others under the eaves, I felt that they seemed to have become smaller.

He hurriedly waved to his closest elder sister Yuanchun, but he didn't realize that his brother-in-law's hand was already holding the magical jade.

Unfortunately, when Li Jingxiao held the spiritual jade, he could only feel the spiritual energy emerging from the jade.

There was no immortal energy that was transmitted into Li Jingxiao's body.

There is no benefit or change in the game in the mind.

Otherwise, Li Jingxiao would definitely try every possible means to get this stone.

In addition to being disappointed, he no longer had much interest in flying Jia Baoyu around.

However, you still have to pretend.

He took Jia Baoyu and flew back and forth several times over the tall houses in Huifang Garden, making the little boy giggle with joy.

The little baby is actually quite cute.

Li Jingxiao shook his head helplessly. Why should he bother with this little brat so much?
When this boy grows up, even if he is introduced to a daughter of a noble family, Mrs. Wang will definitely not even look at Baochai.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of Xia Jingui, who was also born into a royal merchant family.

Although this woman is vicious, she is actually very beautiful and is the only daughter in the family.

He has no brothers or sisters, his father died early, and he has always been in control of all kinds of flower value businesses in the palace. Compared with the Xue family, he is much better off on the surface.

But when I thought about how vicious Xia Jingui was, I decided to give up.

Even if you look down on Jia Baoyu, there is no need to harm him.

He landed safely in the yard and handed Jia Baoyu to Jia Yuanchun.

When Yuanchun subconsciously took her brother's hand, she met Li Jingxiao's gaze and her pretty face blushed.

But in his heart, he was very satisfied with Li Jingxiao.

There is also a hint of admiration in my heart.

It can be seen that no matter which era, women can easily fall in love with capable and handsome husbands.

Li Jingxiao chuckled and whispered, "After we get married, I will teach you the true teachings of Taoism.

From now on, my wife will be able to climb rooftops and walls just like me."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jia Yuanchun's face became even redder.

She gave Li Jingxiao a coquettish look, hugged Jia Baoyu, who was still not satisfied and kept mumbling "brother-in-law, brother-in-law", and hid behind Jia's mother.

Seeing Jia Baoyu struggling, he simply carried the little guy into the house.

Just a few words made Jia Baoyu dare not shout anymore.

It seems that it is true that Jia Yuanchun taught Jia Baoyu to read and write when he was very young.

Otherwise, this kid wouldn't be so afraid of her.

If Jia Yuanchun had not entered the palace and could return to her parents' home from time to time, it is possible that Jia Baoyu would not have developed a dislike for studying.

Or maybe, they started learning to read and write at a very young age, which left a psychological shadow.

Suddenly, he was out of control, which made him start to hate studying.

Especially books like the Four Books and Five Classics.

Now that Yuanchun is about to marry him, this guy's future life will probably not be as carefree as in the original novel.

Grandmother Jia and Lady Wang were both happy and a little annoyed that Baoyu was vying for Li Jingxiao in such a short time.

I treat this kid as my treasure, but I have never seen him so close to me.

However, when he looked at Li Jingxiao, he couldn't hide the approval and satisfaction in his eyes.

Grandmother Jia's idea was very simple. It was obvious that Li Jingxiao was very satisfied with Yuanchun and was willing to get close to the descendants of the Jia family.

He will definitely become a great help to the Jia family in the future.

Of course, Li Jingxiao did all this because he was thinking about the women in the Red Mansion.

From now on, as long as the Jia family does not interfere with me or harm my interests, I will treat them as normal relatives.

Li Jingxiao was determined to get Qingwen and Xiren alone.

Although Xiren is very calculating, her ambitions are actually not that big.

All she did was to be a concubine.

This was no big deal for Li Jingxiao.

As for Qingwen's domineering and harsh words, she would naturally be taught a lesson by Qin Keqing and Jia Yuanchun.

As a maid, if she was not stupid, she would know that she could not defeat the two wives.

Li Jingxiao also asked himself, he had plenty of ways to make a little girl like Qingwen obey him.

Didn’t you see that Yuanchun’s eyes showed admiration even though it was just their first meeting?
Women of this era are much easier to coax than women in modern society.

At this time, Grandmother Jia liked her grandson-in-law Li Jingxiao very much. She pulled him aside and praised him a lot. She was about to go into the house to talk more.

But Jia Zhen came running over, bowed, and said, "Madam, the people in the front hall heard that Jingyou had arrived, and they are nagging for Jingyou to come over and meet everyone as soon as possible."

Grandmother Jia then regretfully let go of Li Jingxiao, saying, "Jingyou, come and talk to me more often when you have free time.

By the way, take my pulse. I also want to see my grandson get married and have children with my own eyes."

Li Jingxiao knew that what Lady Jia said was just to give him another excuse to visit her.

And he also wished that he could enter and leave the Jia family at will, otherwise how could he care about the girls in the Jia family and the girls of his relatives?

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady. Not only can you see your grandson get married, but you can also see Baoyu's children get married."

If other people said this, Grandmother Jia would not believe it, but she believed Li Jingxiao's words 70%.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she felt unhappy.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law has always been a problem since ancient times. In feudal society, mothers-in-law suppressed their daughters-in-law comprehensively.

Just being unfilial is one of the seven major sins, and the husband's family can divorce the daughter-in-law directly.

But life becomes difficult for a divorced daughter-in-law who returns to her parents' home.

It's possible that her parents won't even let her in, leaving her to fend for herself outside.

Mrs. Wang has been suppressed by Lady Jia for more than ten or twenty years. If Lady Jia could really live to be eighty or ninety, the thought would make Mrs. Wang feel very upset.

But I dare not express this idea at all.

But then he thought, Li Jingxiao is his son-in-law.

It is right to be filial to the old lady, so the respect that I, the mother-in-law, receive should at least not be less than that of the old lady, right?

Since the old lady can live so long, I can definitely live longer than her.

Thinking of this, I feel much better.

The words of flattery to Lady Jia were also much more sincere.

When Li Jingxiao and Lady Jia said goodbye and then said goodbye to herself, Mrs. Wang repeatedly reminded Li Jingxiao not to drink too much.

She also told Jia Zhen not to let the old relatives bully her son-in-law. Seeing this, Jia Zhu, the son, felt envious and jealous.

Mrs. Xing, who was standing by, was trembling with envy.

I thought to myself, why does the second wife get all the good things?

Unfortunately, Mrs. Xing herself was unable to give birth to a child for Jia She, and the daughter of the first wife, Jia Yingchun, was too young.

There is a niece on her mother's side, but the age difference is quite big, and she is not up to Li Jingxiao at all.

No matter how envious or jealous you are, you can only sigh and sulk in your heart.

Fortunately, Li Jingxiao did not forget to say goodbye to Mrs. Xing, and his words were also nice, which made Mrs. Xing less angry.

After Li Jingxiao left, Jia Zhu and others naturally would not stay.

Grandmother Jia brought her two daughters-in-law into the house and asked Lai Mama when she came out from behind the screen.

"What do you think of Jingyou?"

Nanny Lai hesitated for a moment before she said carefully, "In terms of family background, character, ability, and interpersonal skills, they are all first-class."

Lady Jia and Lady Wang nodded, but then they heard Nanny Lai say, "Madam, although the son-in-law is a good man, when I look into his eyes, I seem to see the old master.

Just looking at it makes one's heart tremble, and I always feel that there is a murderous intent hidden in the eyes of the son-in-law."

Jia Mu smiled nonchalantly and said, "I noticed that too. That aura is intimidating without even being angry.

Even when sitting, he looks like a crouching tiger, and indeed looks like the old master of that time and the old master of the East Palace.

As long as he treats the girl well, nothing else matters."

Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, Jia Yuanchun and Nanny Lai also nodded after hearing this.

Grandmother Jia continued, "Look at how he likes Baoyu, he really likes him.

He also respects us very much, and is actually a kind child at heart.

However, he is the pacification envoy of the Jinyiwei, and he doesn't have any murderous aura. How can he suppress the killers in the Jinyiwei?
I heard that when they were stationed at the imperial mausoleum, they were attacked by fifty or sixty bandits.

With the help of only a dozen soldiers, he not only won a great victory, but also killed more than a dozen people with a bow and arrow by himself and captured the bandit leader alive.

Cultivating the aura of a great general is actually a good thing."

After Lady Jia said this, several female relatives suddenly felt that Li Jingxiao was better than they had imagined.

Jia Yuanchun felt so sweet in her heart. How many young ladies wish to marry a good husband?
Moreover, the look in Li Jingxiao's eyes when he looked at him was indeed quite eager.

Just thinking about it made Jia Yuanchun blush with shame and joy.

After being happy, Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that it would be better if the girl from the Qin family didn't exist.

Li Jingxiao first married Yuanchun as his first wife, and Yuanchun was a countess at that time.

Marrying another daughter of the Wang family and becoming the second wife would make the whole thing complete.

Second brother Wang Ziteng also needs a capable child like Jingyou to help him.

It's a pity that the girl from the Qin family, a poor family, got her.

If Li Jingxiao knew about this, he would definitely sneer at me.

Wang Ziteng was able to rise from the local level to become the Jiedushi of the Beijing Camp. Just think about it and you will know that he is definitely not a person who cares about family ties.

Mrs. Wang was only thinking about her second brother at this time, but she didn't know that the Jia family would be in trouble in the future.

Not only did the Wang family fail to fulfill their duty as relatives, they also took advantage of the situation and sold their niece Qiaojie.

As Li Jingxiao followed Jia Zhen, Jia Zhu and the other two, chatting and laughing as they walked towards the front hall, Jia Zhen had not forgotten and kept introducing him to the guests who had arrived today.

Not only are the contributions of the ancestors clearly explained, but even the character of the current head of the family is clearly described.

Jia Lian and Jia Rong also added a few words from time to time.

When passing by the inner hall in front of the main hall, I suddenly saw a woman with three girls walking out of the inner hall, talking and laughing.

Seeing Jia Zhen and others, the four women hurriedly bowed and were about to retreat to the inner hall.

Then Jia Zhen smiled and said, "Wait a minute, Madam, this is my eldest sister's husband, Jingyou.

Since the engagement has been made and the betrothal gifts have been given, we are just waiting to welcome the bride, and she will be our family.

If I meet you, it would be disrespectful not to see you, my sister-in-law."

Yu Shi originally intended to let Li Jingxiao see Yu Sanjie.

If the third sister had followed Yuanchun into the Li family, she would have been favored by Li Jingxiao.

It is a good thing for her as the eldest sister, as well as for Ningguo Mansion.

As for why Wang Xifeng came to visit.

This girl has been raised as a boy since she was a child, and she goes in and out of Ningguo Mansion as if it were her own home.

It can be said that Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian, Jia Rong and Jia Qiang are playmates who grew up together.

Only after she married into the Rongguo Mansion did she become so familiar with the situations of the East and West Mansions, and easily adapted to the position of housekeeper of the Rongguo Mansion.

However, since Li Jingxiao was conferred the title of first-class general, the tradition of hereditary succession for three generations was passed down to the Wang family.

Wang Xifeng's brother Wang Ren has complained more than once.

If it weren't for the opposition from his second uncle Wang Ziteng, and with the coordination and help from his eldest aunt Mrs. Wang, Li Jingxiao would have been his brother-in-law long ago.

Now, only a month or two later, Li Jingxiao was personally conferred the title by the emperor and his ancestral title of earl was restored.

Wang Ren had even more complaints.

Influenced by Wang Ren, Wang Xifeng couldn't help but blame her second uncle Wang Ziteng in her heart.

When he heard that Li Jingxiao would visit the Jia family, he immediately wanted to see with his own eyes what Li Jingxiao was like.

The moods of the two sisters, You Erjie and You Sanjie, were completely different.

Yu Sanjie was famous for her boldness in love and hate. After looking at Liu Xianglian from afar, she always remembered him in her heart.

Now that I have seen Li Jingxiao first, the more I look at him, the more satisfied I am.

As for You Erjie, she blamed her parents for arranging a marriage for her so early.

Otherwise, I would definitely be the one married into the Li family as a dowry.

Then, You Erjie thought again in her heart.

If Li Jingxiao fell in love with me and helped me to arrange the marriage between me and Zhang Hua, I would be willing to be Li Jingxiao's concubine.

Although Li Jingxiao did not recognize You Erjie and You Sanjie, he felt that these two girls would definitely be stunningly beautiful when they grew up.

As for Wang Xifeng, her pair of almond-shaped eyes become more charming and attractive the more you look at them.

Youshi saw that Li Jingxiao's eyes were moving between his two younger sisters and Wang Xifeng, but he only glanced at her a few times.

He couldn't help but feel disappointed, and then he was secretly angry, scolding Li Jingxiao for being blind.

No matter how pretty a girl is, how can a woman love her?

Li Jingxiao withdrew his gaze and bowed to Youshi.

He said, "Little brother Li Jingyou meets sister-in-law Zhen."

Youshi quickly put away her messy thoughts, returned the gift, and introduced her second sister, third sister and Wang Xifeng.

Li Jingxiao suddenly realized and thought to himself that it was no wonder that these three girls were so beautiful.

Seeing that Li Jingxiao must be very satisfied with You Sanjie, Jia Zhen thought that Jingyou probably didn't know about letting Sanjie come with a dowry.

I might as well take the opportunity to tell him in advance to avoid any further accidents.

He pulled Li Jingxiao aside and said that the Ning and Rong mansions had already asked Old Lady You and agreed to let Third Sister You be Yuanchun's dowry.

Li Jingxiao looked at You Sanjie who was not far away in surprise. This girl didn't look very old, so why was she so anxious to get married?
