Volume 3 City of Water Chapter 157 Chen Bailian
"My uncle?" the pretty eyebrows twitched, and the girl involuntarily swept towards the bag on Zhou Nian's waist and asked, "You are looking for my uncle, do you want him to help you open the black box?"
"Hehe, smart. Zhou Nian smiled, but he didn't deny that he liked to deal with smart people the most in his life, and he would be able to understand it at one point and save trouble.
Now that his mind has been seen, there is no need for Zhou Nian to hide it, and asked frankly, "Is it okay?"
"Well......" The girl hesitated, the look in her eyes was a little strange, "Yes, but before I take you to my uncle, you have to promise me one condition." ”
"Conditions, what conditions? Tell me, I can think about it. Knowing that things would not go so smoothly, Zhou Nian was also very witty and did not say too much.
Pursing her lips, the girl said seriously, "I want you to help me save someone." ”
"How to save someone?"
"Use your medical skills. ”
"You mean, she's a patient?"
"That's right. ”
"And how can you be sure I can save her?"
The girl shook her head, her expression slightly mysterious, "I'm not sure, but I can try." ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"Hehe, the way you helped Immortal Doctor Zhang get rid of stubborn diseases was very unique before, and for her, you may be a kind of hope. ”
Zhou Nian chuckled, "Hehe, you probably think too highly of me, right?"
"It's not looking up, it's perception. ”
"A woman's senses?"
"Well, so to speak. ”
"Can I take the liberty of asking her who you are?"
"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this, anyway, do you agree?"
"Hmm......" It was Zhou Nian's turn to hesitate at this moment, but he didn't hesitate for long, after all, compared to opening the black box and knowing the secrets inside, curing the disease and saving people was just a gesture.
And depending on what kind of disease the other party is suffering from, he will accept it for the time being, and this transaction will not suffer a loss.
His brows furrowed, and Zhou Nian said lightly, "Okay, I promise your conditions." ”
When the girl heard this, a faint joy appeared on her face, and after a few seconds of concealment, it was fleeting.
"In that case, let's go now. After the girl finished speaking, she walked away.
"Where is the patient you said now?" Zhou Nian followed.
The girl looked ahead, and only said two words lightly, "Hu family." ”
"Hu family?" muttered in a low voice, but Zhou Nian didn't ask too many details, just followed behind the girl and went straight to the Hu family.
Along the way, the two rarely spoke, and the wise man was silent, and his deeds spoke louder than words.
"By the way, I forgot to ask before, what's your name?" Walking to the lively street, Zhou Nian suddenly came to say this.
Turning her head slightly, the girl whispered softly, "My name is Hu Yi." ”
"Hu Yi. After chanting this name, Zhou Nian's brows couldn't help frowning, "Could it be that you are from the Hu family?"
"Yes. The girl nodded, and then asked, "What about you, what is your name?"
"Me?" pointed to himself, Zhou Nian said slowly, "My name is Zhou Nian." ”
......
Walking all the way, under the leadership of Hu Yi, the two soon came to Hu's house.
On the huge red door, the word "Hu Fu" was very eye-catching, and on both sides stood a sturdy young guard, and when they saw the girl in front of them, they hurriedly greeted them.
"I've seen the eldest lady. The two guards clasped their fists one after another, and their attitude was very respectful.
"Miss?"
As soon as this title came out, Zhou Nian immediately noticed that Hu Yi's identity was unusual, this beautiful girl he had just met in the middle of the road, but he didn't expect it to be the eldest lady of the dignified Hu family.
"Hmm. Hu Yi nodded casually to the two guards, and after greeting him, he walked into the Hu Mansion with Zhou Nian.
The two had just brushed past the guards, and one of the guards seemed to have thought of something, and muttered in a low voice, but he stopped talking.
Hu Yi stopped and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
The guard looked left and right, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Miss, that one...... Young Master Bailian is here. ”
"What?" As soon as the guard finished speaking, Hu Yi's face immediately fell.
Zhou Nian was curious, "Who is Young Master Bailian?"
Hu Yi's face was a little unnatural, "No one...... It's just a nuisance, try to go as fast as you can when you go in for a while, and don't run into him. ”
"Oh. Zhou Nian nodded ambiguously, and then followed Hu Yi into the Hu family.
But just entered the courtyard, Hu Yi's luck was also enough, and he was afraid of something, and he was really bumped into by her.
"Huh, cousin Huyi?"
The one who spoke was a young man about eighteen years old, wearing a white robe, looking handsome, two sword eyebrows, his eyes were blazing, the heavens were full, the earth was round, his posture was heroic, his instruments were extraordinary, and there was a piece of mutton fat white jade with a good condition hanging on his waist, holding a white paper fan, stepping on exquisite boots, looking at it from a close distance, it was really a bit of the charm of a handsome son.
"Oh, it turned out to be Cousin Bailian. The pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly, Hu Yi's face immediately became gloomy, and his voice was lukewarm.
Chen Bailian, Hu Yi's distant cousin, a well-known first-grade pharmacist in the City of Water, the strength of a two-star martial artist, such an extraordinary identity, coupled with his own innate grace, made many rich ladies in the City of Water secretly agree to him, and the people who went to propose marriage were about to squeeze the door, but he had a soft spot for Hu Yi's cousin.
Chen Bailian came this time precisely to propose marriage.
Family marriage, coupled with the fact that the two families have a certain kinship, is a matter of course.
Many elders of the Hu family are more optimistic about this family business, after all, with the addition of the Chen family, the momentum of the Hu family in the future is bound to be 100 feet ahead and go further, so they have arranged for someone to do some ideological work on Hu Yi from a long time ago, knowing the righteousness, patient persuasion, and hoping that this family business can be successfully successful.
However, falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless, love is not something that can be achieved overnight with other people's words, Hu Yi, who has an independent personality, is not very interested in her cousin, and she has been rejected by her three times in a row, which can be regarded as a blow to the dignified Chen family!
However, with the lessons of three failures, Chen Bailian obviously has not learned to be obedient, instead of giving up, he has become more and more frustrated, in line with the mentality that what he can't get is the best, the more Hu Yi rejects him thousands of miles away, the stronger his feelings for Hu Yi become.
To put it nicely, this is a seed of infatuation, and to say that it is ugly, it is a cheap bone!
"Cousin Hu Yi, where did you just go? Chen Bailian stepped forward with a smile, and couldn't take his eyes off Hu Yi when his eyes fell on him.
"Cousin, why are you here?" Hu Yi replied, obviously deliberately avoiding the question.
Chen Bailian blinked and hesitated, "Oh, I heard that your personal maid Xiaoyu is sick, so come over to help take a look, and by the way, mention our marriage to my uncle." ”
"Marriage?" Hu Yi's face was gloomy, his fists were clenched, and he was a little impatient at the moment, "Didn't I tell you before, it's impossible between the two of us, you better give up." ”
After all, it's not the first time I've refused, and what Hu Yi said is quite straightforward.
Unexpectedly, Chen Bailian was not surprised at all when he heard it, he was used to being hit, and he was a little numb, and said with a smile, "Hehe, it is your freedom to refuse or not, whether I can enter your heart is my ability, I will not give up!"
Chen Bailian is really worthy of his name, tempered and indomitable!
With such a personality, it's like a dog skin plaster, which can't be removed when it's glued.
"You can think as much as you like, anyway, I've already explained what I said, I still have business, you can take care of yourself. Hu Yi didn't bother to take care of him, and walked away with Zhou Nian.
"Cousin, you wait first!" Chen Bailian suddenly chased after him.
"What's the matter?"
His face changed slightly, Chen Bailian glanced at Zhou Nian a little unkindly, and then said, "Cousin, this brother looks at Miansheng, can you introduce me?"
Hu Yi didn't turn his head, hesitated for a moment, and then said lightly, "He is Pharmacist Zhou I invited to help Xiaoyu see a doctor." ”
It is true that Zhou Nian came to help Xiaoyu see a doctor, but the identity of the pharmacist is nonsense, giving the other party a relatively high-end identity, the purpose is to get rid of Chen Bailian, a nasty ghost, as soon as possible.
However, in the end, some things backfired.
"Pharmacist Zhou?" As soon as this identity came out, Chen Bailian's brows couldn't help frowning.
The peer is an enemy, plus he has been in love with Hu Yi for a long time, and his personal maid Xiaoyu did not go to him when she was sick, but instead found such a little-known hairy boy to come, didn't this make it clear that he hit him Chen Bailian in the face?
His face was slightly cold, Chen Bailian needed to establish his tall image in front of Hu Yi, the pharmacist Zhou in front of him was a good target, if he could compare him in front of Hu Yi, then he would have a place in Hu Yi's heart in the future.
By trampling on others to show his own height, this Chen Bailian is also yin enough.
The thought flashed in his heart, Chen Bailian was really good at hiding himself, hugged his fist at Zhou Nian, and said with a smile, "Hehe, since Pharmacist Zhou is a distinguished guest personally invited by my cousin, he must have very high medical skills, forgive me for taking the liberty, I don't know which Pharmacist Zhou is under his tutelage?"
The most obvious difference between the status of pharmacists, in addition to comparing their own strength, is to compare their respective backgrounds - that is, their origins.
Especially the younger generation of pharmacists, there is not much difference in ability, and the biggest disparity depends on who their master is.
The higher the status of the master, the face of the apprentice will naturally have more face, on the contrary, if even the master is not in the stream, then as the kind of mediocre apprentice, he obviously has no face.
Raising his eyebrows, how could Chen Bailian's careful thinking hide from Zhou Nian's eyes, he didn't want to cause trouble, but if trouble took the initiative to find him, he was not afraid.
Speaking of the pharmacist in the City of Water, Zhou Nian's first thought was Song Tiegui, hugged his fists, Zhou Nian said with a smile, "Hehe, in Xia Bucai, the family teacher is the third-grade pharmacist in the City of Water, Song Kangshi." ”
"Song Tiegui?" As soon as this identity came out, Chen Bailian was obviously a little surprised.
