And a big family like the Zhou family, which has a huge demand for pills, once they lose the support of the alchemist, the wealth spent to buy pills from elsewhere is simply astronomical.

There is no other reason, he is not named in the Medicine King Pavilion, and he is willing to accept that the alchemist enshrined by the Zhou family is too difficult to find! Even if one or two appear, they will soon be co-opted by other forces at a higher price, and the Zhou family, which has been greatly injured several times, simply does not have enough strength to compete with the opponent.

Lei Guang had expected Zhou Zhenhai's slightly gloomy face, and immediately stretched out his hand with a smile, and a personable young man in white walked over and introduced Zhou Zhenhai: "This is my grandson, Lei Hao, eighteen years old this year, already has the strength to open up the seven veins, and today I came to celebrate Brother Zhou's birthday is a face, this is a face, I hope to be able to be happy, and the two families will have a happy event... As for the bride price, I am a little hypocritical with Master Gu, a first-class alchemist in Tianjian County, if the Zhou family wants to hire an alchemist, it is impossible for the old man to be able to say one or two in it. ”

Zhou Zhenhai's expression moved, obviously he understood the meaning of Old Man Lei's words, obviously Lei Hao fell in love with a certain woman of the Zhou family, and wanted to marry the right person in this way, but I have to say that the conditions in this made Zhou Zhenhai quite excited, if he could hire a first-grade alchemist just by relying on a marriage, this deal was indeed worth it. It's just that he has also heard of this kid from the Lei family, who is different from the outside, and is quite attentive, which makes him very disliked, if he marries the daughter of the Zhou family to him, I am afraid that there will be no good results. It's just that the current Zhou family is really in urgent need of an alchemist, and thinking of this, I can't help but fall into a dilemma.

"I've seen Grandpa Zhou!" At this moment, Lei Hao smiled slightly, and saluted Zhou Zhenhai, his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant, and he looked quite bright.

"No need to be polite. ”

After Zhou Zhenhai nodded, Lei Hao straightened his waist, smiled, and continued: "Don't hide it from Grandpa Zhou, I fell in love with Zhou Xiaowan at first sight, and I was quite moved, I hope to be able to marry him, grow old together, and hope that Grandpa Zhou can be fulfilled!" ”

Zhou Xiaowan?

Zhou Zhenhai's eyes flashed with a thoughtful look, vaguely seemed to remember such a girl, if he remembered correctly, two years ago, this girl brought back a young man from nowhere, let him live in Zhou's house, because of the rules, for this girl also made a big fuss at the elders' meeting, he happened to be at the scene, saw this girl pitiful, and helped to say two good words, in general, he still has a good impression of this girl called Zhou Xiaowan, and suddenly heard that it was Zhou Xiaowan who wanted to marry the girl, and suddenly frowned a little。

As if he knew what Zhou Zhenhai was thinking, Lei Hao showed a look of great sincerity, saluted respectfully, and said: "I know that Grandpa Zhou may be a little prejudiced against me, but this time I really love Zhou Xiaowan, and I also took the initiative to agree to this matter, there is no falsehood, I don't believe that Grandpa Zhou can go and ask in person." ”

Zhou Xiaowan's girl agreed? Zhou Zhenhai glanced at Lei Hao in front of him suspiciously, he didn't believe it too much, and pondered for a while, the Zhou family really needs an alchemist, but if Zhou Xiaowan really agrees to this family affair, he won't have a bad conscience, even if he is right and regret it, it is his own choice, there is no need for him to interfere more, in the final analysis, he is the head of the Zhou family, and he still has to think more about the family.

So, after thinking for a while, Zhou Zhenhai nodded slowly under Lei Hao's overjoyed gaze, and sighed: "Then let Zhou Xiaowan say it in person, as long as she agrees, the old man, the head of the family, is also willing to accomplish a good thing." But if she doesn't..."

"Then I will not be entangled in this matter anymore! I just believe that I and Zhou Xiaowan really like and love each other, and the situation that Grandpa Zhou said will never happen!" Lei Hao said with a sincere attitude, seeing this, Zhou Zhenhai also bowed his head lightly, if this is the case, it can be regarded as a beautiful talk.

"Hahahaha, what does Brother Zhou think?" Old man Lei, who had been silent beside him, finally laughed, smiled at Zhou Zhenhai and asked, "If this matter is done, then the Lei family and the Zhou family can be regarded as in-laws, and from now on they should also form an alliance to watch and help each other, and the Lei family will definitely help the situation of the Zhou family." ”

"Then send someone to inform Zhou Xiaowan and come over. Zhou Zhenhai glanced at the old guy who spoiled his little grandson and said.

Lei Hao smiled, thinking that this matter has finally come to pass, Zhou Xiaowan, Zhou Xiaowan, you still can't escape from the palm of my hand in the end, now your head of the family has spoken in person, see who can help you, and that stinky boy named Zhou Chen promised you not to move him for the time being, and when this matter is completely decided, I must talk to him about life...

Lei Hao had a vicious thought in his heart, but his face was a gentle and sunny look, and he smiled at Zhou Zhenhai: "Grandpa Zhou doesn't have to bother, he has already sent someone to go in the future, and someone will arrive in a while, then this matter will be discussed in detail when Xiaowan comes over, calculate the time, Master Gu should be about to rush to Zhou's house at this moment, Grandpa Zhou might as well wait for a while, and soon Master Gu will come over." ”

"That's very good. ”

Zhou Zhenhai got rid of a heart disease that had been staying in his heart at this moment, and he also felt a lot more relaxed, Hearing that Master Gu had come, he immediately became a lot more excited, and his eyes looked at Lei Hao became a little gentler, it seems that the rumors about this Lei Hao in the outside world seem to be a little untrue, at least during this time, under his observation, Lei Hao looks personable and is a very well-cultivated son, if Zhou Xiaowan can marry this person, it will also be a good blessing.

Zhou Chen naturally didn't know about the scene that happened at the birthday banquet, at this moment he was talking to Zhou Xiaowan's mother Mu Shi, Mu Shi has always been weak and sickly, and since giving birth to Zhou Xiaowan, the situation has become even more serious, and from time to time there will be a very serious cold disease, and several times he has almost died, which is like a catastrophe. I also asked Master Xue, the first-grade alchemist of the Zhou family at that time, to see it, but he could only rely on some qi tonifying pills to alleviate it slightly, and he could not be cured, and he consumed a lot of money, but the effect received was not obvious, and Master Xue finally made a conclusion that was the same as many experienced doctors - Mu Shi would not live for six years at most.

And this year happens to be the sixth year, and sure enough, Muslim's cold disease broke out more and more severely, each time it became more and more severe, and his body became weaker and weaker, and Zhou Xiaowan's eyes were also black, and there was no way to do it, and he couldn't sleep at night, but he was helpless, and finally had to spend all the money that was originally used to buy cultivation resources on his mother, but it was still in vain. Zhou Xiaowan also thought about saving money to invite a second-grade alchemist to come over for her mother's diagnosis and treatment, but the cost was too great, Mu felt sorry for her daughter's fatigue, and would rather die than agree, Zhou Xiaowan did not dare to disobey her mother's wishes, for fear of making her mother angry and aggravating her condition, so she had to give up.
