Chapter 2 Moonfall City
Qiankun Continent.
The moon sets in the city, the Zhou family’s mansion.
In this magnificent mansion, there is an out-of-equipped dilapidated villa. In the villa, a woman about thirty years old sat upright, and in front of her was a thin boy.
The thin young man was named Zhou Chen, and this woman was Zhou Chen's biological mother Su Qin.
"Chen'er, the Great Elder has agreed. In three days, he will send someone to deliver the betrothal gift to the Lu family to propose marriage for you." Su Qin said slowly in a gentle tone.
"Great Elder?" Zhou Chen was slightly stunned.
He was a little surprised when he heard the news his mother said.
He is not unfamiliar with this great elder of the Zhou family.
In recent years, Zhou Chen has had several contacts with Zhou Antong, the eldest elder of the Zhou family. He is very clear about Zhou Antong's nature. Zhou Antong has never looked down on them and their mother and son. Why did he suddenly want to propose marriage to the Lu family for him, Zhou Chen?
"Mom, how could the elder be willing to help?" Zhou Chen asked.
Su Qin smiled bitterly and looked at Zhou Chen and said, "It is a good thing for the Great Elder to help, so don't worry about anything else. You have to prepare well these days. After you propose marriage, you will still visit the Lu Mansion."
"Did you use my father's iron coupon?" Zhou Chen frowned.
Zhou Chen's father was named Zhou Qingshan, the son of the previous clan leader of the Zhou family. He was a noble status. Moreover, Zhou Qingshan had a very high talent in martial arts. When he was over 20 years old, he was recognized as the number one master of the younger generation of Yueluo City and was well-known. The warriors in the city called Zhou Qingshan and said good things when they mentioned Zhou Qingshan in the Zhou family.
Unfortunately, there were unexpected events in the world. Zhou Qingshan was seriously injured by an accident at the age of 36 and eventually died of an accident.
Zhou Chen is Zhou Qingshan's son and should have a high status in the family. However, his mother Su Qin is not Zhou Qingshan's wife. Su Qin is just a concubine.
Zhou Chen was born from his concubine and was born from a concubine.
Of course, if Zhou Chen himself has the same talent as his father in martial arts, then he might have gained a certain status and resources in the Zhou family. Unfortunately, Zhou Chen's talent in martial arts is very average. He is now sixteen years old, but his realm is still at the beginning of Qi training.
In the Zhou family’s mansion, the younger generation of Zhou Chen’s age, who are particularly outstanding, have reached the advanced level of Qi training.
The iron coupon mentioned by Zhou Chen was left by his father Zhou Qingshan. This iron coupon was given by the lord of Yueluo City. Anyone who holds this iron coupon can make a request to the lord. Zhou Antong, the eldest elder of the Zhou family, has been coveting this iron coupon for a long time and has expressed more than once the intention of buying the iron coupon from Zhou Chen and his son.
Now that Zhou Antong is suddenly willing to help Zhou Chen propose marriage to the Lu family, Zhou Chen naturally soon realized that it was because of the iron coupon.
Faced with Zhou Chen's inquiry, Su Qin's face became even more bitter.
"There is no other way."
"Chen'er, your father is the only son. Now, you are at the age of discussing marriage." Su Qin's voice was very soft.
If Zhou Chen has good talent in martial arts, there is no need to get married at the age of sixteen. However, a 16-year-old qi-training warrior obviously has no hope in martial arts. Therefore, Su Qin hopes that Zhou Chen can get married earlier so that he can have children earlier.
Zhou Chen smiled when he heard his mother say this.
"In this life, being an ordinary mortal, I will be ordinary but my whole life." Zhou Chen raised his gaze, looked at the distant sky, and said in his heart.
In his mind, swords and shadows flashed, and memories hidden deep in his soul would occasionally jump out.
"Bang!"
At this moment, a loud noise came from the gate of the courtyard.
Immediately afterwards, a man in blue walked in.
Zhou Chen also knew this person, Zhou Pu, the manager of the Great Elder Zhou Antong.
"Zhou Chen." Zhou Pu first glanced at Su Qin, then looked at Zhou Chen and shouted.
"Zhou Pu is in charge, but the elder has something to tell us?" Su Qin quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile.
Su Qin was very careful about an ordinary manager around the Great Elder, which showed the embarrassing situation of the mother and son in the Zhou family's residence.
Zhou Pu waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "The Great Elder said that Zhou Chen should prepare a betrothal gift within three days."
Proposing marriage requires a betrothal gift.
But when he heard Zhou Pu say this, Su Qin's face changed and her brows frowned.
"Maintain Zhou Pu. When I met the Great Elder before, this matter had been discussed. The Great Elder agreed to prepare a betrothal gift for Chen'er." Su Qin said hurriedly.
She was a little panicked, but her face was calm.
Zhou Pu smiled and said, "Then I don't know. Anyway, I have brought the words of the Great Elder. As for how to do it, it depends on you. Haha, if there is no betrothal gift, I think Deacon Lu Yong might change his mind when he is angry."
Zhou Chen's proposal was the daughter of Lu Yong, the deacon of the Lu family. The Lu family is also a big family in Yueluo City, but Lu Yong, the deacon in the Lu family, is not a big shot. Otherwise, he might not be willing to marry his daughter to Zhou Chen.
Watching Zhou Pu turn and leave, Su Qin's face showed anxiety.
She agreed to give the iron coupon to Zhou Antong, and one of the conditions was that Zhou Antong helped Zhou Chen prepare a betrothal gift. This betrothal gift was a Qi-gathering pill, which was considered a very expensive pill.
Now, the Great Elder obviously wanted to break his promise.
"Mom, Zhou Antong is going to pay the debt this time." Zhou Chen turned his eyes to his mother Su Qin.
Su Qin bit her lip and said, "I'll go find him."
"Mom, if you go find Zhou Antong, you may not even see him." Zhou Chen shook his head.
Su Qin's body stiffened slightly.
Zhou Chen was right. If Zhou Antong didn't want to see him, she wouldn't even be able to enter the gate of Zhou Antong's residence.
"What should I do? What should I do? I will propose a marriage in three days. How to prepare a betrothal gift? If it is an ordinary thing, how can Deacon Lu Yong look up to it?" Su Qin walked and murmured.
In fact, even the ordinary money and goods, Su Qin and Zhou Chen could not afford much. The situation between mother and son in the Zhou family's residence could only maintain food and clothing.
"Yes, I'll go find the patriarch and ask the patriarch to speak." Su Qin's eyes a little more hope.
Zhou Chen sighed in his heart and then said, "I'll go with you."
Zhou Family Instruction Hall.
At this time, in the reprimand hall, the clan leader Zhou Tianyuan was talking to many children in the clan. Being able to be personally trained by the clan leader is enough to make the Zhou family's children feel proud.
The entry and exit of this admonishment hall also requires qualifications. For example, Zhou Chen, if he does not receive permission, he will not be qualified to enter.
"The road to cultivation is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. You are pretty good at martial arts talent, and you should cherish this rare talent..." Zhou Tianyuan said slowly with a serious expression.
An escort walked to Zhou Tianyuan and whispered: "Clan leader, Zhou Chen and his son are anxious to ask for a meeting, saying that there is something very important."
Zhou Tianyuan frowned and paused, "Let them come in."
The clan leader Zhou Tianyuan doesn’t have much impression of Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen is Zhou Qingshan’s son, which may be the only reason why Zhou Tianyuan can remember this name.
