Little Junior Martial Sister helped her foster mother kill chickens, fish, wash dishes, wash pots, and pick vegetables.
Knowing that Chu Chen liked to eat meat, Little Junior Martial Sister specially went to the market to buy several kilograms of good quality tenderloin meat. She specially set up a bonfire in the courtyard and roasted it, making Chu Chen beam with joy.
When the sky turned dark, a sumptuous dinner was placed on the table one after another.
There were a few farmhouse dishes, a plate of delicious braised fish, a plate of soy sauce pork shoulder, a can of good stewed chicken soup, and a plate of roasted tenderloin meat. The aroma overflowed, making Chu Chen's mouth water.
"This is a remote place, so there isn't anything good. There are only a few dishes, but they can't compare to the nectar and jade food of you immortals. I hope you don't dislike them." After the dishes were served, her foster mother smiled embarrassedly.
"Auntie, please don't say that. This is already very good. Meng 'er also knows that we can't even eat such good food in Biquan Xianzong." Chu Chen quickly said.
"That's right. Mother, we only eat grass and flowers in the sect every day. How could we have such delicious food?" Tong Meng faintly smiled.
This meal was truly hearty. When they had just left the mountain, the attentive Tong Meng knew that it was necessary to prepare some gold and silver for life in the secular world. Therefore, she took a few spirit stones and exchanged them for more than 100 taels of gold and 300 taels of silver in the market square at the foot of the mountain and stored them in her storage ring.
These worldly things were almost meaningless to cultivators, but they were very important to the people of the secular world.
The total cost of this table of dishes was at least 1 tael of silver. For many people of the secular world, this could be considered very extravagant. Many farmers would only prepare such a sumptuous meal during the New Year every year.
This meal took a full hour. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, it was already very late at night.
After cleaning up the dishes, Tong Meng somewhat embarrassedly walked to Chu Chen and said, "Big Brother Chu, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you. You'll have to sleep in the woodshed for the night."
This small courtyard was not very big. There were only two side rooms. One was the main room, and the other was the bedroom. Therefore, Chu Chen could only sleep in the woodshed.
However, Chu Chen didn't care. When he was running around every day in Biquan Xianzong, he would often find a cave to sleep in for the night. A woodshed was already considered good enough.
Therefore, Chu Chen found a piece of wood and placed it on a clean spot in the woodshed. Then, he took a quilt and made a simple mattress on the floor. After that, he laid down and rested.
The night was hazy, the crescent moon hung high in the sky, and a layer of hazy white moonlight shrouded the tranquil Luwang Town.
While most of the town's residents had fallen into a deep sleep, in the northern part of the town, a spacious and magnificent mansion was brightly lit. One after another, graceful figures covered in gauze shuttled back and forth, singing and dancing. It was a scene of extravagance and debauchery.
The Lu Clan was the strongest clan in Luwang Town.
It was said that the ancestors of this clan were extremely glorious. There was once a daughter who was conferred the title of Empress of the Great Xia Kingdom. Later on, when the Great Xia Dynasty was established, the Empress fled to the border of the Great Liang Dynasty and settled down here. Gradually, she prospered, and led this once nameless town to gradually flourish.
The so-called Luwang Town was the "Lu Clan Distinguished Clan".
For thousands of years, the descendants of the Lu Clan had firmly occupied this small town. The clan would often send some young disciples into the officialdom of the two kingdoms to gain experience. Gradually, a huge power system was formed.
This clan lived in the cracks between the two great dynasties. They were content to stay in a corner, but they couldn't be ignored. They more or less had some connections in the courts of the two kingdoms. The current head of the Lu Clan was the first rank Left Prime Minister of the Great Xia Dynasty. He had power over the court of the Great Xia Dynasty, and was a true noble clan.
Therefore, the people of Luwang Town were extremely respectful to the Lu Clan.
To the entire town, the Lu Clan was like a local emperor. The sky was high, and the emperor was far away. To a certain extent, almost ninety percent of the residents of the town served this clan. Therefore, these residents were also treated by the Lu Clan as their slaves or livestock.
At this moment, within the Lu Clan residence, the Li Clan's Auntie, who was rather old but still had an old-fashioned style, was respectfully standing beside a pale and slightly chubby young man. She had a flattering smile on her face.
"That's right, that's right. Second Master Lu, that Tong Meng is now as cute as a fairy from the heavens. Compared to before, she has changed greatly. "
"Oh?" The eyes of the Lu Clan's second young master lit up. "Today, I heard Butcher Wang say that there was a fairy-like girl who bought a few kilograms of good tenderloin meat from him. Could it be that little girl from before, Tong Meng?"
"It must be. With your status as the second master, which girl in this town haven't you seen? If a beautiful girl suddenly appeared, then it must be from the Tong Clan! " Auntie Li's face was full of smiles as if she had seen a gold mountain. "As the saying goes, a girl changes eighteen times between childhood and womanhood. If you see Tong Meng's current appearance, I'm afraid you will also be shocked!"
"Mm, Auntie Li, you did well in this matter." Second Master Lu faintly smiled. "I, the second master, don't have any other hobbies. I just like to collect beauties from all over the world. Although I've played with all kinds of noble ladies, noble ladies, pretty girls from humble families, and so on, this is the first time I've met a real fairy who cultivates the Dao of Immortality. That's right, I once remembered that that woman from the Tong Clan seemed to have a marriage arrangement with us, right? "
"Second master's memory is indeed excellent! At that time, I was the one who personally arranged the marriage, betrothing Tong Meng to a manservant in your residence. However, with Tong Meng's current beauty, even if that manservant cultivated for ten lifetimes, he still wouldn't have that kind of fortune. Naturally, the second master should enjoy her … "
"Hahaha! Good, come, give me a hundred taels of silver as a reward to Auntie Li! " Second Master Lu laughed heartily and waved his hand heroically. "In addition, pass down the order to prepare the palanquin with eight carriers, the Three Letters and Six Rites, and so on! Tomorrow, I will marry my thirteenth concubine. Prepare three thousand taels of silver as the betrothal gift. We, the Lu Clan, are people of status. We can't be said to be forcibly marrying someone!
In the small courtyard of the Tong Clan.
Although he was in the woodshed, Chu Chen slept unprecedentedly soundly. In this remote and quiet small town, Chu Chen had never felt so peaceful before, separated from everything in the sect.
After a deep sleep, when the rooster outside the town began to crow, a burst of deafening beating of gongs and drums soared into the sky, resounding throughout the small town. It also woke Chu Chen up from his dream.
Just as he was about to go out and see what was going on, a light ring suddenly came from the storage ring. He took out the communication jade tablet and saw that it was flashing with red light, displaying the little junior sister's information.
