Chapter 359
Eight years passed.

Chen Jinwu's past eight years can be described as heart-wrenching, head-hanging, and pain-like.

Eight years ago, he intended to marry Zhong Shuyuan. The original plan was well planned, and even the marriage was arranged.

But who would have expected that he temporarily left with his wife, daughter, and son through the back door, and the whole family disappeared like this!
For eight years, every night when Chen Jinwu thinks about this matter, his heart aches, because not only is he the first emperor to be rejected from marriage, but Zhong Xingyan also specially wrote a letter to tell him the reason: you are not worthy.

He is not worthy?
He is the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom!
After Chen Jinwu suffered for a few nights, he began to summon civil servants and military generals Qi Xue, Yang Zhiyuan to teach literature, and Zhong Xingqi to learn martial arts. After eight years of hard work, he has grown up like a reborn.

No one dared to treat him as a young child, a 15-year-old emperor.

Because his decision to kill and his intelligence are unparalleled, he is the most wise and courageous emperor in the three generations of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

Every time Yang Zhiyuan and Zhong Xingqi saw Chen Jinwu's suffering, they couldn't bear it, but what made them helpless was that they didn't even know where the whole family went!
There was no news at all for eight years, which made it hard for them to bear.

Could it be that he ran away like this for the rest of his life and never came back again?

Yang Zhiyuan lamented a few times, and occasionally persuaded Chen Jinwu a few words, he might as well choose another noble man as the queen, for the sake of Da Zhou's foundation.

Chen Jinwu only said that he was young and immature, and he was not in a hurry.

But Yang Zhiyuan knew that he already regarded his granddaughter as the target of conquest in his heart.

What did I do with that extra word in the first place?

Thinking of this, Yang Zhiyuan gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Zhong Xingyan, you bastard, when will you return my daughter?"

Zhong Xingyan watched his wife and children laughing and playing in the gazebo on the mountainside at this time, with a contented smile on his face.

It's just that he laughed heartily, while Master Jing Yi beside him was suffocated.

On that day eight years ago, Zhong Xingyan's family of four suddenly ran to Fale Temple and occupied a courtyard behind Fale Temple to live. There are three things to do every day, count money, eat, and play!

I thought they would leave after a few days, but I didn't expect that they would stay for eight years. In the past eight years, the taste of the young monks was spoiled by the food in Su Zhailou, and they treated Zhong Guogong's family very well. Even without ordering them, they automatically and consciously kept their whereabouts secret from the outside world.

Grandmaster Jingyi got used to it for a while, so he simply pretended to be without them, but who knew that Duke Zhong was going crazy, and came to see Grandmaster every day to play chess and discuss scriptures.

A military general who kills countless lives talks with a monk?
Master Jingyi felt that he was in great pain. He had been reflecting on what he had done wrong all the time, and he would let Duke Zhong torture him.

After thinking and struggling for a long time, Master Jingyi finally treated this as a test for him by the Buddha. He fought with Zhong Xingyan for a long time every day, but ended in failure. Seeing him leave with a happy smile, the roots of his teeth hurt from anger .

Sanskrit often complains about Zhong Xingyan, why bother to tease Master Jingyi, he is not a person who meditates on Buddhism, but he still talks about scriptures and Buddhism with Master Jingyi, how is that possible?

But time will always change a person's temperament. Eight years have passed, and Zhong Xingyan's heart has gradually calmed down. On the contrary, the family lives happier. Although he still teaches Yuaner to practice martial arts, he no longer relies on not suffering The purpose is to combine martial arts with literature.

The two children practice martial arts to strengthen their bodies and learn to cultivate themselves. Now the two 11-year-old little guys can write a few poems and do some boxing in a decent manner, which is quite the demeanor of little adults.

Fanyin has not been idle for the past eight years.

Although she kept her identity hidden and did not show her face to the outside world, she practiced her cooking skills here and secretly guided the operation of Suzhailou. On the contrary, Suzhailou has now become the hottest restaurant in Beijing.

It's just that Yuan'er didn't learn this skill of his own, but Zhong Cheng was more interested in it.

Zhong Cheng's body has been weak since he was a child, and the various food supplements have made this kid's mouth tricky. Not only does he like to eat, but he also likes to cook.

At first Zhong Xingyan disapproved of this matter, and then forced his son to practice martial arts. Zhong Cheng was able to practice a good sword technique, but this sword technique was not used in martial arts and fighting at all, and was all used on the cutting board.

Watching the children grow up day by day, Sanskrit also felt that his time had passed. In a few years, wouldn't he be 30 years old?

Touching his face, Sanskrit pouted his mouth, Zhong Xingyan bid farewell to Master Jingyi, walked over and asked, "What's the matter? Suddenly feeling emotional again?"

"old."

Sanskrit touched his face, "I used to get a lump on my face and it went off quickly, but now I have a small bean, and it hasn't fallen off in two months. I'm really old."

"Not old!" Zhong Xingyan's lips moved closer, "I'll help you kiss."

"Don't make trouble, the children are still here!" Fanyin blushed and pushed him away, Zhong Xingyan didn't care, and waved the two laughing children away, "Go and tell Wang Wenwu to do more at noon Cai, your mother needs to take good care of her, I will kiss you after you leave."

"Father, you're not ashamed!" Yuan'er was ashamed of him, and ran out with Zhong Cheng.

"Sister, why are we going here?" Zhong Cheng saw that Yuan'er was going far away, Yuan'er pouted, "Go to Suzhai Building."

"Father won't let us go there during the day, so as not to be seen by others." Zhong Cheng was very obedient, because he had sneaked there once, and was beaten by Zhong Xingyan, and he also told him the reason for living here, so Zhong Cheng Cheng also knew it was for his eldest sister, so he never made such a mistake again.

Yuan'er didn't care very much, "It's okay, how could someone touch me at such an inch? Besides, who can recognize the two of us?"

Zhong Cheng still disagreed, "It still doesn't work, don't make dad unhappy."

"If you don't go, I'll go!" Yuan'er said and ran ahead, and Zhong Cheng chased after worryingly, "Don't run, big sister, just wait for me."

Chen Jinwu made a big fuss in the court today.

Those old men came out again and asked him to weaken the number of places in the martial arts examination and increase the number of literary examinations.

nonsense!It's all bullshit!
For so many years, he has been treating military generals favorably, not because he advocates ruling the country by force, but because he needs some people to restrain those civil servants who want to control themselves all day long.

Forming cliques for personal gain, playing favoritism and cheating, aren't these all things those old people are willing to do?

If he dared to persuade them with death again, he would let those people really die, would he really think he didn't dare?

Chen Jinwu left the palace early in the morning after retiring from court, and only took Wang Gonggong and a few others out of the city to relax. For so many years, he has been studying hard and never slacked off.

But today he is really tired, and he also needs to rest.

Su Zhai Building, Chen Jinwu didn't know why, and subconsciously ordered people to rush to this place. He could still recall how delicious it was the first time he ate Mrs. Zhong's handicraft.

only……

Where did that family go?
Chen Jinwu and the others were dressed in casual clothes without showing any publicity. They didn't even go to the private room when they arrived at Su Zhai Building. They just sat down in a random corner in the lobby on the first floor.

Eunuch Wang no longer has the temperament to reveal his identity in everything. After following Chen Jinwu for so many years, he has also practiced forbearance and self-restraint, and he knows that his identity is completely given by Chen Jinwu.

If he can't serve the little emperor well, he will have nothing, so for so many years, Wang Gonggong has become Chen Jinwu's right-hand man.

After eating those familiar dishes in memory, Chen Jinwu's mood also improved.

Instructing Wang Gonggong and others to sit down and eat together, Chen Jinwu suddenly heard a bell-like laugh at the door, "Wang Wenwu, cook two more delicious dishes for my mother today, my mother needs to replenish her body!"

"Sister, don't run around."

"Do you want to cook for mother yourself? Mother always praises your cooking skills."

"Are you hungry?"

"Stinky boy, dare to tease your sister, don't you deserve a beating?"

Chen Jinwu looked at that immature shadow, and couldn't help but drop his chopsticks immediately.

Yuaner?She...how could she be here?

Wang Gonggong found out that something was wrong with the emperor, and followed his gaze, but he saw two children, so what's so strange?What's wrong, Your Majesty?
When Chen Jinwu saw the gazes from the people around him, he immediately restrained himself, picked up his chopsticks again and continued to eat.

Seeing Yuan'er leading Zhong Cheng towards the back kitchen, he stood up and ordered: "No one is allowed to follow me."

The prince was startled, even though his heart was in his throat, he still had to obey the emperor's order.

Chen Jinwu followed the giggles to the back kitchen alone, watching the graceful figure busy up and down, sometimes arguing with his younger brother, and sometimes ridiculed by his younger brother for being a disservice.

She had a great time.

Chen Jinwu suddenly had this idea in his heart, no wonder Duke Zhong took them away, he didn't want his children to be imprisoned in a cage, right?

Chen Jinwu couldn't help but smile wryly when he thought of his childhood appearance.

The joy of his childhood has long since disappeared...

But thinking that he could be so sure that she was Yuan'er, he was also very surprised. Thinking of teasing her who was still a baby, he remembered the red mole on her face very clearly.

Maybe this is also fate?
Chen Jinwu was pondering, Yuan'er suddenly found an outsider at the door, "What do you do?"

"I'm here to steal food." Chen Jinwu's answer made Yuan'er's eyes widen, "Steal food?"

"That's right, just like when your father and your mother got acquainted, stealing vegetables." Chen Jinwu's answer made Yuan'er stunned for a while, and then Yuan'er went in and brought out a plate of vegetables, and put the chopsticks in his hands, " Let's eat, and leave quickly after eating."

Chen Jinwu looked at the dish in embarrassment, and raised his chopsticks to eat bite by mouthful. There was only one thought in his mind: This daughter-in-law is definitely married!
Yuan'er went back to the kitchen and dragged Zhong Cheng and ran away, "Go back and tell your parents to leave here, we were discovered!"

"Ah? What should I do then?"

"run!"
