Longevity Species

Chapter 9 Proposal

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lei Dao began to use the power of Lei Mansion to collect some martial arts for exercising his inner organs. It's just that Zhang Qinglong didn't even know that there was such a martial art. Presumably, this kind of martial art is also very rare. How difficult is it to collect it?

But Qingyuan Laodao had to believe what he said, and Lei Dao could only wait for the news slowly.

"Young master, young master, the owner of the house asked you to go to the living room, saying that there is a distinguished guest."

The little girl came in a hurry, her red face looked like an apple.

"Father asked me to go to the living room? Do you know who the distinguished guest is?"

Lei Dao was a little strange. He hadn't actually met his father a few times since traveling, but he also knew that his father would hardly let him go to the living room.

After all, going to the living room is to discuss some serious and important matters. He is a tuberculosis patient, what serious business can he discuss?

Xiaoya hesitated for a while, then said in a low voice: "I heard that some nobles came from the county, and they are related to Miss Leiyu."

"Little sister?"

Raidou hesitated.

Some of the incomplete memories he received were not incomplete.

Regarding the Lei Family Fort, the current Patriarch of the Lei Family Fort is Lei Dao's father, Lei Heng.

There is also an elder brother, Lei Wei, who manages the Lei family's business in the county and the prefecture. There is also a second elder brother, Lei Wu, who is more mysterious. I heard that he joined the army since he was a child, and followed a mighty general. Now he can be regarded as a military officer, but he seldom comes back.

Then there is the younger sister Lei Yu, who is also Lei Heng's only daughter.

As soon as he recalled this information, Lei Dao felt a headache.

He knew that the Lei family was powerful, they were warriors, they were not scholars, but at least they could read, right? See what name Lei Heng gave his son.

Lei Wei, Lei Wu, Lei Dao... There is also a thunderstorm.

Originally, Lei Dao should be called Lei Ba. According to Lei Dao's cheap father's idea, it must be powerful and domineering. But later Lei Dao fell ill, and a monk who begged for alms said that the name "Lei Ba" was too hard and his life would be shortened.

In addition, there has been no fourth son born, so Lei Dao was changed to the current name.

At this moment, Lei Dao was a little grateful to the beggar monk, otherwise he would be Lei Ba now, and that would be the real thunder rolling.

"Okay, let's go and have a look."

Lei Dao didn't want to recall it carefully anymore, once he recalled it, he would have a splitting headache.

With Xiaoya's support, Lei Dao quickly came outside the living room.

"Crash".

Lei Dao walked in, and the little girl was guarding outside. The living room cannot allow the maid to come in at will.

"Third son, I heard what the Taoist priest said, you followed the Taoist priest to meditate and practice Qi, and calm your mind, can you actually relieve your illness?"

As soon as Lei Dao entered the hall, he heard a surprised voice.

He saw a young man standing inside, who was as tall as him, but much bigger and stronger. And the face is actually somewhat similar to himself.

"Brother!"

Lei Dao grinned, he recognized the man's identity, it was his elder brother Lei Wei!

Lei Wei was trained by Lei Heng since he was a child, and he intervened in family affairs early on. There is no doubt that this is training heirs, and Lei Wei will inherit the Lei Family Fort from now on.

However, the relationship between the three brothers is very good. The second brother joins the army and doesn't care about Leijiabao's wealth at all. He can earn a future by himself.

As for Lei Dao? He has been weak and sick since he was a child, and now he has tuberculosis. If he wants to take over, he needs someone to agree.

Therefore, there is no conflict of interest, and the relationship between the three brothers is getting better and better, especially Lei Wei, who rarely comes back a few times a year, but every time he comes back, he brings Lei Dao many novelties.

"This is the third son of the Lei Mansion? It's a pleasure to meet you."

After Lei Dao and Lei Wei finished exchanging greetings, they saw a man in a Chinese robe standing opposite him. And the etiquette is also very standardized.

It's just that Lei Dao always feels that the other party's eyes seem to be condescending, with a hint of disdain.

Yes, just disdain, just like people from big cities entering small villages, in the eyes of those people, they are all bumpkins.

The Lei family is powerful, and the core is in the Lei family castle, belonging to the bumpkins among the bumpkins.

"The third son is here, please sit down. This is the third son of Liu County Cheng's family. He has passed the examination as a scholar. He is a scholar with a reputation. You must not lose your courtesy."

Lei Dao also nodded in return, and then sat down.

In fact, he had already guessed something about it. This county magistrate Liu has a big tree with deep roots in the county, and he is known as the county magistrate who is the iron-clad county magistrate.

Liu Xiancheng is so powerful in the county, so he is very good at life. His best method is marriage.

Today, the third son Liu came here in person, the purpose is self-evident.

It's just that a county magistrate who covers the sky with his hands will take the initiative to marry a powerful man from the countryside? This made Lei Dao a little confused. In this era, there are still civil and military disputes.

Most scholars look down on Wu Fu, let alone the fact that the Lei family has gradually developed into a powerful family relying on force.

Liu Xiancheng can be said to be a representative of scholars, but he took the initiative to come to marry, there must be a reason for this.

Sure enough, the Liu family took the initiative to reveal their intention to propose marriage, but Lei Heng was noncommittal, did not say yes, but also did not say no.

In this case, silence is the best answer.

As long as the Lei family has no objection, then the Liu family will probably come with a dowry next time.

"Uncle, it's getting late, so don't disturb uncle, we have to go back before the city gate closes."

There was a smile on Mr. Liu's face, and there was no overstepping in his behavior, showing the demeanor of a scholarly family.

"By the way, I'll send a pair of men to escort you back to the city. Bandits often rob this section of the road, so it's not peaceful."

Lei Heng seemed to remember something again, and reminded.

"Oh, a mere little thief, with the protection of this expert arranged by my father, my journey will be smooth."

Third Young Master Liu looked calm and breezy. Behind him, there is a man with a cloak and two swords on his back, whose face cannot be seen clearly, standing quietly all the time.

Obviously, Liu Xiancheng naturally has arrangements for his son's safety.

What's more, there are more than 20 guards, which are enough to deal with ordinary strongmen.

Soon, Third Young Master Liu left Lei Mansion with the members of the Liu family.

"Ahem, well, madam, Yu'er, you can come out now."

Lei Heng coughed lightly, a little embarrassed.

Walking into the living room, two women actually walked out.

"I met my mother."

Both Lei Dao and Lei Wei hurriedly stood up and saluted. This fat woman is their biological mother.

Only Lei Dao was dumbfounded. Since he crossed, some memories have been lost, and he has no memory of "mother" at all.

But now, seeing his eldest brother Lei Wei showing his true feelings, there is no doubt that this fat woman is his mother.

"No wonder Dad doesn't have concubines, and even the maids in Lei Mansion are mostly plump..."

Lei Dao looked at his father with some sympathy, but his father was sitting upright, as if he was thinking about something important.
