Chapter 205: Fox Demon Repaying Kindness【05】

"Good match? A white body without any fame is also worthy of marrying my sister?"

As the voice came, Yuan Jia strode in.

His eyes fell sharply on the lady who dressed herself up like a nouveau riche in gold and silver.

Mother Xiao agreed with Yuan Jia's words in her heart. She pretended not to see Yuan Jia's disrespect to this lady, and picked up the teacup and tasted tea silently.

This lady is the wife of Mr. Zheng, an old friend of Father Xiao's, but the relationship between Mr. Zheng and Mr. Xiao is far less than the relationship between Mr. Huo and Mr. Xiao, just because the two were in the same class of jinshi at the beginning. Barely regarded as fellow villagers, they maintained their friendship.

Mrs. Zheng came from a poor family, and she was financed by her father-in-law, a wealthy businessman, for her imperial examinations. This Mrs. Zheng was born in a merchant.

If it weren't for the fact that Mr. Zheng was not too young when he was admitted to the jinshi examination, and even his eldest son was over ten years old, I am afraid that after the development, Mrs. Zheng might not be able to sit firmly in the position of wife.

Today, Mrs. Zheng actually came to ask Xiao Yu to marry her eldest son, who lost his wife. It was like a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.

Mrs. Zheng gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The eldest son was still a prodigal son because his father was busy studying for imperial examinations and neglected discipline when he was young.

Her second son is stronger and knows that he is making progress. Unfortunately, his talent is limited, and there is a reputation for being able to read, but even a scholar has to take the test several times before barely making it to the bottom of the list.

Not to mention the concubines of the Zheng family. Mrs. Zheng is not a generous person. Some concubines did not study for enlightenment until they were seven or eight years old, and they were even more useless.

Yuan Jia sneered at Madam Zheng: "My sister will never marry a white person who can't even pass the exam."

Isn't it fragrant that so many underprivileged disciples choose a young hero who has been admitted to Juren? Why did you choose the trash son of the Zheng family? No matter which son it is, he doesn't look down on it.

The children of officials and officials are different from the children of the nobles. The noble family has a title, and the eldest son can lie down and inherit the title even if he has no ability, while the children of the officials have no title to inherit. White people.

After a woman gets married, her husband is honored and the wife is expensive. The husband is incompetent, and he is almost out of the limelight. Even if he relies on his son, he will have to endure hardship for twenty or thirty years.

How could Yuan Jia marry his sister Xiao Yu to such a hopeless person.

Mrs. Zheng was anxious, she said to Yuan Jia: "Miss Xiao is a married person. Can she be the first wife without being the successor?"

Yuan Jia saw off the guests with a cold face: "come here, send Mrs. Zheng out!"

The friendship between the two families was normal, and he didn't need to show mercy for her at all, so he ordered someone to invite her out.

Mrs. Zheng still wanted to make trouble with Yuan Jia, but seeing Yuan Jia's cold and stern eyes, she changed her words: "That I mean to ask Miss Xiao to marry my second son, my second son is not married yet, Miss Xiao is the original wife when she gets married."

In fact, this time, Mrs. Zheng asked her to come. The Xiao family's marriage in Linzhou involved ghost stories such as monsters. The news was blocked and did not spread, let alone the capital. .

The Xiao family also deliberately concealed this matter.

The Zheng family knew about this because Master Zheng had long been eyeing Xiao Yu and wanted to marry Xiao Yu for his second son.

It's just that Xiao's father rose step by step, but Mr. Zheng's career was much more bumpy, and the family of the two families was still higher than the Xiao family. Mr. Zheng wanted his second son to marry the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, for fear that he wanted to eat shit.

In the past, the eldest son and the eldest daughter were the eldest son and daughter of the same family background, but the eldest son of Master Zheng was too old to be a good match for Xiao Yu, only the second son was of the same age.

Mr. Zheng originally planned to find a way to facilitate this marriage. In the future, he and Xiao's father would support each other in the officialdom, and his son also had a powerful father-in-law and brother-in-law to promote.

Later, I learned that Xiao Yu married Wang Jin, but after worshipping the church, he did not get married, and then separated from Wang Jin. Mr. Zheng was even happier. After Xiao Yu married once, the market was much worse. Will come down, and his second son is also just right.

So Mr. Zheng asked Mrs. Zheng to come to Xiao's house to communicate with Xiao's mother.

But Master Zheng didn't understand the nature of his wife.

Among the two sons, Mrs. Zheng prefers the most promising second son. In her opinion, her youngest son marrying the princess also makes it a shame to marry a woman who has been married once.

Mrs. Zheng knew that her husband wanted to win over the Xiao family, and the marriage had to be successful, so she acted wisely and temporarily changed the marriage proposal from the younger son to the eldest son who had just lost his wife.

In the end, I didn't expect the Xiao family to be so easy to mess with. Mrs. Zheng regretted her self-righteousness now, and hurriedly changed her candidate back.

However, no matter which of her sons, the Xiao family despised them.

Mother Xiao, who was used to being good-natured, also served tea with a cold face.

Mrs. Zheng left reluctantly, and when she went back, she told Mrs. Zheng how the Xiao family looked down on the Zheng family, causing the two families to break up completely.

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuan Jia said to Xiao's mother: "Mother, don't worry about my sister's marriage, I'm already looking out for my sister."

In Yuan Jia's opinion, it is not necessary to look at the man's family background, but mainly on the man's personal ability and character. Only capable men can bring glory to Xiao Yu, and men with good character can bring happiness to Xiao Yu.

Mother Xiao was very relieved about her son who had been admitted to the top spot and became an official. In her opinion, her son was already an adult with a family and a business, so she naturally felt relieved to leave Xiao Yu's marriage to him.

"Don't worry about your sister, get ready for your marriage first."

When the wedding date was approaching, Xiao's father was transferred back to Beijing from Linzhou.

Just in time to attend the wedding of Yuan Jia and Huo Rong, so that there is no regret for the loss of one of the two high halls on the day of the wedding.

A few days before Yuan Jia got married, he received Xiao's father, who had traveled day and night to the capital.

At the same time, Father Xiao also brought shocking news that the mother and son of the Wang family had died.

Father Xiao said worriedly to Li Guanzhu: "Li Guanzhu, they all died when their hearts were pulled out by animal claws, and they still have white fox fur on their bodies. It should be that the fox demon has made a comeback. This official sent people to hunt for foxes, and also Couldn't find the white fox."

Li Guanzhu frowned slightly: "The fox demon has broken its tail and has become an ordinary fox. She should not have the ability to kill unless she has accomplices."

However, Li Guanzhu didn't believe that Hu Xue could find other fox demons as accomplices, because Hu Xue was able to take the skins of other fox demons and put them on her body, so she was destined not to be accommodated by other fox demons.

This fox demon escaped from his hands again and again, and Li Guanzhu felt a little embarrassed at Father Xiao, but he promised him again that he would definitely try his best to get rid of the demon.

After attending Yuanjia's wedding, Li Guanzhu went to Linzhou again, vowing to kill Hu Xue, a fox who slipped through the net.

After Yuan Jia and Huo Rong got married, they lived very harmoniously. Huo Rong was a good girl who was pampered. She had a gentle and cheerful temperament. She was also cute when she was a little squeamish. Worry about housekeeping.

Yuan Jia selected a suitable candidate to be his brother-in-law among the poor people, but he did not expect that Father Xiao would find a candidate before him.

He is a scholar from a family of farming and reading, and his literary talent is very good. Xiao's father thinks that he should be on the list in the next township examination, and he is willing to accept him as a student.

Yuan Jia investigated the family background of this student of Xiao's father, and found that his parents were both wealthy, talented, and gentle and good-natured. He also nodded.

So Xiao Yu married her husband who was guarded by her father and brother.

Just as Xiao's father and Yuan Jia expected, Xiao Yu's husband was admitted to the Juren in the township examination, took the general examination twice, and passed the jinshi examination.

At this time, Yuan Jia had already climbed to a high position in the court. In the past few years, he has been promoted very quickly. His official position has surpassed that of Xiao's father, who is not very good at drilling camps, and has become the pillar of Xiao's family.

The two sons of Yuan Jia and Huo Rong also grew up.

Li Guanzhu, who said he went to Linzhou to hunt down the fox demon Hu Xue, finally returned when Yuan Jia's eldest son was eight years old.

Li Guanzhu talked to Yuan Jia about the ins and outs of this incident.

It turned out that the one who killed Wang Jin and Wang's mother was really Hu Xue, who had broken off the fox tail and abolished his cultivation.

Hu Xue's life experience is not simple. She has a fox demon mother who is stronger than her. This old fox demon seems to ignore Hu Xue, but in fact still cares about her daughter very much.

After learning that Hu Xue's fox tail was cut off, the old fox demon went to Linzhou to avenge his daughter.

Because the old Taoist priest transformed from Yuanjia's paper-cutting could not be found, and Li Guanzhu was no longer in Linzhou, the old fox demon took out the mother and son of the Wang family.

Originally, the old fox demon wanted to kill Xiao's father, but for some reason he didn't do it.

This Yuan Jia knew in his heart, because he had left amulets on the Xiao family, which was much stronger than the amulet he gave to Wang Jin. The old fox demon probably didn't do anything, but did it but was scared away by the talisman. .

Li Guanzhu went to Linzhou to follow the vines to investigate the melons, and found the old fox demon. One person and one demon fought many times.

In the process of teaching Yuan Jia, Li Guanzhu was stuffed with a lot of private goods by Yuan Jia, his cultivation increased a lot, and his strength was slightly stronger than that of the old fox demon, so the old fox demon cruelly abandoned his daughter Hu Xue, and he Ran away.

Li Guanzhu has fulfilled his promise to Xiao's father and killed Hu Xue, the fox demon. However, he provokes another stronger fox demon and forged an unending revenge.

Li Guanzhu said to Yuan Jia with some self-reproach: "You are my disciple, and your family is related to the Wang family. The serious injury of the white fox at the beginning also showed traces of the Xiao family's involvement, so the old fox will definitely anger the Xiao family. You have to be more careful."

Yuan Jia wasn't worried, the amulets he left on his family were enough to protect them.

"Master doesn't have to blame himself. The soldiers will block the water and cover up. That old fox dared to show up. Our master and apprentice joined forces to keep her. And in this important capital, she may not dare to show up."

Li Guanzhu shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case. The Qian Daochang sitting in the capital is a little weaker than I am now. He may not dare to fight with the old fox demon."

＜＜＜＜＜＜

Yuan Jia and Li Guanzhu both thought that the old fox demon would dare to sneak attack in secret at most, but they didn't expect that the old fox demon would dare to turn into a fairy concubine and fall into the palace, tricking the emperor into refining the elixir of immortality for him. , to gain the emperor's trust.

But the Daoist Qian in the capital turned a blind eye to her identity as a fox demon, or helped Zhou to abuse her.

If it were not for the protection of the rich Taoist priest, the emperor would not easily trust the old fox demon easily.

The Xiao family was a little uneasy when they learned of this situation.

Father Xiao said: "If this goddess is really a fox demon, she will definitely take revenge on our family."

Yuan Jia nodded, and he felt the same way. When the Xiao family became an official, they had to abide by the rules of the court. If the old fox demon deceived the emperor and asked the emperor to order the Xiao family to be executed, things would be bad.

"So we have to strike first."

Li Guanzhu asked: "How to start first and become stronger?"

Yuan Jia smiled slightly and said, "You will find out tomorrow morning."

Originally, he planned to be an ordinary official in a world full of monsters and monsters, but now it seems that he still needs to speak with strength.

The next morning, Yuan Jia stood among the civil servants. When the emperor came to court, Yuan Jia felt that the emperor seemed to pay more attention to him.

This made Yuan Jia sigh slightly in his heart, and sure enough, it was right to strike first.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

Yuan Jia stepped forward first, bowed slightly to the emperor, and said, "Your Majesty, the monster who claims to be a goddess is actually a fox monster, and I hope that His Majesty will order him to be executed, so don't mess with the monster. Chaogang."

The emperor was stunned. He originally planned to take action against the Xiao family because of the goddess's words. The first one was to ask Xiao Yuanjia to accuse him, but he didn't expect that before he had been convicted, Xiao Yuanjia would sue the goddess first.

Thinking of how energetic he felt after having a good time with the goddess last night, the emperor did not believe Yuanjia's words at all, so he lowered his face and angrily said: "Xiao Yuanjia, the goddess is the real goddess given to me by God, how dare you slander!"

Yuan Jia said calmly, "Your Majesty, Wei Chen has evidence."

Seeing Yuan Jia's determined appearance, the emperor was a little surprised: "What evidence?"

Yuan Jia said: "Please also ask Your Majesty to let the fox demon and Wei Chen face off."

The emperor is afraid of death, and would rather believe what he has than what he does not believe. He immediately sent people to summon the goddess to confront Yuan Jiadang.

If Xiao Yuanjia lied, he would have the entire Xiao family beheaded to the goddess to vent his anger, but if what Xiao Yuanjia said was true...

The old fox demon living in the palace sneered when he heard what happened in the previous dynasty, but Qingcheng's beautiful face was still full of charm, making his heart beat faster.

She went confidently because she knew that Li Guanzhu was not there, and even if Li Guanzhu was here, she would dare to confront him face to face.

Because her strength is only slightly worse than Li Guanzhu, Li Guanzhu can fight with her, but she cannot prove that she is a fox demon.

The old fox demon walked slowly with a cold face, as noble as a goddess in the heavenly palace, and it was impossible to see that she had turned upside down with the emperor last night in order to confuse the emperor.

The old fox demon glanced at Yuan Jia coldly and said indifferently, "I don't know what your majesty is doing to disturb this goddess's alchemy?"

The emperor stepped down from the dragon chair himself and said softly to her: "Xiao Yuanjia testified that you are a fox demon. I don't believe what he said, so I asked the goddess to confront him."

The old fox demon smiled coldly: "A mere mortal, is it worth letting me confront him?"

Yuan Jia smiled lightly: "Whether you deserve it or not, it's not up to you, the evildoer, to decide."

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Jia gave the old fox demon no time to react, and slapped her directly.

Everyone present felt that Yuan Jia's slap seemed to have turned into a giant palm that covered the sky, as if the sky fell on the old fox demon.

The old fox demon had no resistance, and turned into a huge white fox the size of a tiger on the spot.

The old fox demon struggled to reveal a ferocious face, roaring and trying to break free from Yuan Jia's shackles and escape.

The emperor who was closest to the old fox demon was so frightened that he fell to the ground, and a smell of urine came from under the dragon robe.

Not only the emperor, but many other officials followed suit.

This old fox demon has done a lot of evil, and he has a lot of sins on his body. It is naturally very ferocious and terrifying when turned into a prototype. It is not as pure and beautiful as the spirit fox.

Yuan Jia said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is the prototype of the fox demon. Wei Chen has beaten it back to its original form, which is enough to prove that this demon pretended to be a goddess to deceive your majesty."

The emperor was so frightened that he closed his eyes and dared not look at the fox demon. He waved his hand quickly: "Xiao Aiqing, quickly kill this demon and save the people from harm."

With a wave of Yuan Jia's hand, the old fox demon was killed. If Hu Xue didn't have any father or relatives to seek revenge, this grievance would be over.

【The mission has been completed! Please choose: 1. Submit the task to leave the world; 2. Do not submit to stay in the world for the time being. 】

"Not submitted yet."

After this incident, the emperor no longer believed in any immortals, and even Daoist Qian, who was protecting the old fox demon, was scolded by him.

For Yuan Jia, a courtier who beheaded the big demon with just a wave of his hand, the emperor relied on his favor even more.

Of course, there is also a way to find Yuan Jia in private to seek immortality.

To this, Yuan Jia only said: "Your Majesty, there is no way of immortality in the world. Even a person who is successful in practice will at most prolong his life and not live forever."

The emperor was not reconciled: "Didn't the fox demon cultivate for a thousand years?"

Yuan Jia said: "Humans are different from monsters. Humans are born with enlightened intelligence, and their cultivation speed is much faster than that of monsters. The sky is just, and naturally they will not give people a long lifespan."

No matter what the emperor said, Yuan Jia was bitten to death and there was no way to live forever.

With the passage of time, the emperor watched Yuan Jia's face gradually mature and grow old, and finally gave up the pursuit of longevity.

Because there really is no way of immortality in this world.

Even Li Guanzhu is still only a hundred years old, and his life expectancy is approaching.

Because of Yuan Jia's leadership, the Xiao family naturally became more and more prosperous, and that day's early slaying of demons left a deep impression on the history books.

Above the court, few people dared to offend Yuan Jia, an expert who can slash monsters with a wave of his hand.

In the eyes of these dignitaries, instead of going to Taoist temples to pray to gods and Buddhas, it is better to come to Xiao's house to ask Yuan Jia, an expert in the world.

After Yuan Jia took back the old fox demon's inner alchemy and learned of Yuan Jia's feat of slaying demons in the early days, Li Guanzhu laughed and said, "Young people are better than blue, so I have no regrets as a teacher!"

Then he left Xiao Mansion with a big smile and started to travel around again. Li Guanzhu had been staying in Xiao's house before, one was to teach Yuan Jia this apprentice, and the other was to protect Xiao's family. Now that Yuan Jia's strength has surpassed him, he naturally has nothing to worry about.

Yuan Jia's two sons and two nephews all learned from him the ability to practice both hands, but unfortunately they are not talented, and they have not been able to practice it, so they can only join the officialdom and continue the glory of the Xiao family.

On the other hand, his eldest granddaughter had excellent aptitude, and was brought by Yuan Jia to teach him well, as a descendant of Li Guanzhu's lineage.

Yuan Jia did not travel the world with his granddaughter who inherited the mantle until after the two generations of the Xiao family had passed away, slaying demons and eradicating demons.

Feeling that he had reached the limit of his lifespan, he did not leave it forcibly, but left the inheritance to his granddaughter, and left this world by himself.

【The task has been submitted! Please choose: 1. Continue to the next task; 2. Enter the lounge. 】

"Continue to the next mission."

＜＜＜＜＜＜

"Yuanjia, you have to think about your brother. Your brother broke his leg. If you don't go to the countryside, can you still let your brother go to the countryside with a lame leg?"

Yuan Jia heard this sentence as soon as he passed by. He looked at the middle-aged woman who persuaded him in front of him, lowered his head silently, and quickly accepted the memory of the original owner.

The original owner of this world was named Su Yuanjia. His parents were both factory workers. He also had a younger brother named Su Yuancheng.

It's a pity that this Su Yuancheng is not honest at all, but a cunning person.

This time, the state called on educated youth to go to the countryside. The Su family only had two sons, so naturally one of them wanted to go to the countryside.

The original owner was a high school student who had just applied for a job in the factory, so the person who sent the Su family to the countryside must be Su Yuancheng.

It turned out that Su Yuancheng deliberately broke his leg in order not to go to the countryside.

Because going to the countryside is a rigid indicator, each family must send one person. Su Yuancheng broke his leg and could not go to the countryside, so he had to let Su Yuanjia go to the countryside.

Then Su Yuanjia's job fell on Su Yuancheng's head.

Yuan Jia received the original plot again, and then he found that the original plot was more exciting.

Because Su Yuancheng will be reborn soon.

In Su Yuancheng's previous life, Su Yuanjia was forced to go to the countryside by him, and finally got married and had children in the countryside. Later, the college entrance examination resumed. Su Yuanjia was admitted to the university and took his wife and children to Kyoto. After graduation, he entered the Officialdom, smooth career, high position.

However, Su Yuancheng, who was clever enough to replace Su Yuanjia and stayed in the city, was very unlucky. Due to a mishandling at work, his hand was crushed and he became disabled. He lived a poor and unsatisfactory life all his life.

Compared to Su Yuanjia's complacent appearance with his lovely wife and beloved son by his side, Su Yuancheng hated Su Yuanjia. He believed that Su Yuanjia had made him crippled.

If it wasn't for the job Su Yuanjia applied for as an operator in the workshop, he would not be disabled because he replaced Su Yuanjia's job but was not skilled in the operation.

After the rebirth, Su Yuancheng has to go to the countryside with his broken leg. He wants to marry Su Yuanjia's wife, be admitted to Su Yuanjia's university, and take Su Yuanjia's former career path, leaving Su Yuanjia with nowhere to go.

It's a pity that things didn't go as he wished. Su Yuanjia's wife didn't like him, but after graduating from junior high school, he couldn't get into Kyoto University, let alone enter the official career.

But Su Yuancheng was lucky, because Su Yuanjia died, after he made a million fortune...
