Chapter 854: Peace of mind, return to Langya Pavilion
"Sir, why don't you go take a look?"
Gong Yu suggested in a low voice. She knew that Zhou Chen had some scruples, but after all, she was Zhou Chen's biological mother. Now that she was right in front of her, the feeling of not being able to recognize her was too uncomfortable.
Zhou Chen sighed slightly, knowing that Gong Yu had good intentions.
"In half a month, I will leave the capital and go back to Langya Mountain. Let's talk about our acquaintance after I come back from Langya Mountain."
"But you are right. You can't let your mother worry like this anymore. She must be allowed to get over the sadness caused by the death of her great-grandmother. You can perform a play with me tomorrow."
"What kind of show are you playing?" Gong Yu asked puzzledly.
Zhou Chen whispered his thoughts in her ear, and Gong Yu nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
The next afternoon, Zhou Chen accompanied Gong Yu to enjoy flowers in the courtyard. Suddenly his ears twitched and he heard someone approaching, so he immediately winked at Gong Yu.
Gong Yu understood the idea and immediately entered the state of mind. He asked Zhou Chen softly: "Sir, our child will be born in a few months. Shouldn't we think of a name for the child in advance?"
Zhou Chen said: "It's time to think of a name, and judging from your situation, it seems that you are still pregnant with twins."
"Twins?"
Gong Yu was shocked. Zhou Chen had never told her about this before.
Zhou Chen smiled and said: "Yes, you know my medical skills, so there shouldn't be much mistake. The possibility of twins is very high, so we have to think of two more names."
"Sir, tell me."
"My original surname is Zhou, but I had to change my name when I was in trouble, so our children still have to revert to the surname Zhou. When choosing a name, we also need to check the family tree, so I have to think about it carefully."
Butler Lu, who was listening attentively outside the courtyard, heard this and his breath suddenly stagnated. He stopped listening to the next words and left quietly.
When Zhou Chen heard the news of Butler Lu leaving, he immediately smiled and nodded at Gong Yu, who also smiled happily.
"Sir, are the twins you just mentioned true?"
"It's true, twins are a good thing, but they are also a huge danger for you women, so you must pay attention to raising children in the future, especially since I will be away for a while next month, you must pay more attention."
In modern society, it would not be difficult to give birth to twins, but in ancient times, there was no such thing as uterine delivery, and it could only be done by the woman's will, so the risk was very high for the woman giving birth.
But Gong Yu said very firmly: "Don't worry, young master, I will definitely pay attention."
At this moment, she felt a strong sense of excitement and mission. These were her and the young master's children, two of them. She had to raise her two children well even if she risked her life.
Butler Lu thought that his eavesdropping had not been discovered, so he found an excuse to go out the next day, and then contacted Jin Yu in the Princess's Mansion through a secret line.
After Jin Yu learned about this incident, she immediately returned to the Princess's Mansion and told Princess Pingyang.
Since the death of the Empress Dowager, Xiao Zhihan has been in a bad mood and mentally. He was also infected with wind and cold, which made Jin Yu who had been waiting for him very nervous. The physical illness can be cured, but the mental illness
The mood is not so easy to recover.
"Princess, the news just came from Shopkeeper Lu. He heard Xiao Chen and Miss Gong Yu discussing in the yard about naming their unborn child."
When Xiao Zhihan heard about Zhou Chen and Gong Yu, his originally sad expression suddenly changed.
"Name the child?"
"Yes, Princess, Shopkeeper Lu heard something terrible. I heard that Miss Gong Yu seems to be pregnant with twins, and during their conversation, they said they wanted to give the child the Zhou surname."
Xiao Zhihan's expression suddenly changed: "Are you sure?"
Jin Yu couldn't hide her excitement and said in an exciting tone: "Shopkeeper Lu is very sure that he heard it right. His surname is Zhou, and the princess is the princess. We used to only guess that Gong Ziyu might be Xiao Chen, but we were not completely sure. But now, we
It’s completely certain that he is Xiaochen.”
"Great, great."
Xiao Zhihan was too excited to say anything else. She put her hands together and murmured to herself: "God bless, Lord Marquis, our child is finally back. Xiaochen is not dead, he is finally back."
Even though it was almost confirmed before, because they didn't recognize each other, they were still a little scared. What if they guessed wrong?
But now, when I hear Zhou Chen mention the surname Zhou, I can be sure that Chen Yu must be Zhou Chen.
"Jin Yu, Xiaochen is back. He will soon have two children of his own. This is a great joy."
Jin Yu also shed tears with excitement: "Yes, Princess, you have waited all these years in vain. Xiaochen is finally back. Although he can't come back to meet you now, as long as he is still there, it will be better than anything else."
Worthy of joy.”
"Princess, Xiaochen is right in front of us. You will have a grandson soon. At this time, you have to take care of your health. Otherwise, when Xiaochen comes back and sees you like this, I will be very distressed.
Moreover, you also have to raise a grandson for Xiaochen, so you must take good care of yourself."
Xiao Zhihan showed a smile: "Yes, Jin Yu, you are right. Although grandma left, she left with a smile. I shouldn't be like this. Jin Yu, let's continue making clothes for our children."
, if there are two children, the clothes we made before will not be enough."
"Yes, Princess."
…………
August has arrived in the blink of an eye.
Not long after the beginning of August, a major event suddenly occurred in the capital that shocked the entire court. The prince angered Emperor Liang for some reason and was suddenly imprisoned by Emperor Liang. No one in the court could see him.
The prince, anyone who intercedes for the prince, even Emperor Liang has not seen.
This incident directly disrupted the Liang court, especially the prince's biggest rival, Prince Yu, who reacted most excitedly.
The princes who have been fighting for so many years have recently given up their fight due to the sudden rise of Prince Jing and started to target Prince Jing.
Unexpectedly, such a change suddenly happened at this time. King Yu searched everywhere for information, even the queen, but unfortunately, he did not get any useful information at all.
Because when Emperor Liang imprisoned the prince, only Gao Zhan and Meng Zhi were present.
Meng Zhi was hiding now, not daring to see anyone, but he found Mei Changsu and Prince Jing in private and told them the truth.
Zhou Chen didn't ask much about this matter because he was already leaving for Langya Mountain.
On the tenth day of August, Zhou Chen packed up his things early. In fact, if the whole journey from Jinling City to Langya Mountain was done by horseback, it would not take long, but Zhou Chen still went there a few days in advance.
He had already said goodbye to Mei Changsu and others yesterday, so early this morning, he said goodbye to Gong Yu.
"While I'm away, you stay at home and don't run around. If you encounter anything, go find Xiao Shu or Mr. Thirteen."
Before leaving, he told Gong Yu.
If it weren't for Gong Yu being pregnant, he would definitely take Gong Yu back to Langya Mountain. However, Gong Yu is now almost six months pregnant and her belly is already quite big. It is inconvenient to even walk for a long time, let alone a long distance.
The trek took place on horseback and in a carriage.
So he could only leave Gong Yu at home. The capital was considered a very safe place, and Changzhifang, where he lived, was relatively safe in the inner city.
When the Empress Dowager passed away, Emperor Liang wanted Zhou Chen to stay in the Imperial Hospital, but Zhou Chen refused. In the end, Emperor Liang rewarded him with some gold, silver and silk.
This can be regarded as leaving an impression in front of Emperor Liang, so his residence is even more secure in the capital.
Gong Yu looked reluctant, but still said softly: "Master, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself."
Zhou Chen gently stroked her cheek: "You look like this, how could I not be worried? If it weren't for Master's message, I would definitely stay and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you."
Pavilion Master Lin is not only his master, but also his benefactor. He has never done anything for Langya Pavilion since he became his disciple. This time, if his master asks him to go back, there is no way he will not go back.
After bidding farewell to Gong Yu reluctantly, Zhou Chen led his horse and left the capital alone. After leaving the city gate, he quickly disappeared as fast as he could.
Su Zhai!
"Sect Master, the young master has left the city."
Mei Changsu stood outside the courtyard, and Li Gang hurried over and told him about Zhou Chen's departure from the capital.
"Well, I understand."
"Sect Master, if the young master leaves at this time and doesn't know when he will come back, will it affect our plan?"
Li Gang was a little worried, because Zhou Chen was not only the strongest force in charge of their Jiangzuo Alliance, but also the only one who could persuade Mei Changsu, so he really didn't want Zhou Chen to leave.
Mei Changsu glanced at him and said calmly: "Li Gang, have you been a little idle recently?"
"Ah?" Li Gang looked confused.
"I think you talk a lot."
"ah?"
Li Gang was even more confused, but he glanced at Mei Changsu's eyes and left quickly without saying a word.
"Wait a minute, I'll inform Mr. Thirteen and Tong Lu later and ask them to come over in the evening."
"Okay, Master."
After Li Gang left, Mei Changsu looked at the sky with a lonely expression.
"Brother."
Mei Changsu turned his head in surprise, saw Mu Nihuang, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Mu Nihuang said with a smile: "I came to see my brother. I have decided to watch my great-grandma's death, so I will not leave the capital for the next year."
"That's great."
Mei Changsu said happily that he was very happy that Mu Nihuang could stay.
"Brother, I heard that the prince is about to be deposed. What are your plans next?"
…………
When Zhou Chen returned to Langya Mountain, it was August 14th, because he went to the Qinhuai River on the way and stayed with Wan Bo for two days.
As soon as he came back, he was complained by Lin Chen.
"Junior brother, tell me about you. My father asked you to come back on August 15th to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. You only came back on August 14th. You are really in a hurry."
Zhou Chen said: "Isn't this because a lot of things have happened in the capital recently, which has delayed time? Master has already come back, right?"
"My father came back a month ago."
"Then you know that Master has called us all back this time. Does he have something to tell us?"
Lin Chen shrugged and said: "I also asked, but he insisted on waiting for you to come back to talk together. Is there anything I can do, I can only wait."
"Okay, where is the master now? I'll go over and visit him first."
"It's in the back mountain, come with me."
Zhou Chen and Lin Chen came to the back mountain together and saw their master, Pavilion Master Lin, who was practicing in the back mountain.
"Dad, Xiaochen is back."
"Master."
Pavilion Master Lin opened his eyes and smiled when he saw Zhou Chen.
"Xiaochen is back, come on, come on."
Zhou Chen came to Pavilion Master Lin and sat cross-legged next to him casually.
"Master, I haven't seen you for a few years. You are still as strong as ever and your demeanor is still the same as before."
Pavilion Master Lin couldn't help but laugh: "You're such a skinny monkey."
"I heard from Lin Chen that your Pure Yang Jue has been practiced to a perfect level. Okay, very good. It seems that my original decision was right. I made the right choice to let you practice Pure Yang Jue. You are indeed a rare person.
A rare martial arts prodigy."
Pure Yang Jue is definitely one of the most difficult internal skills to cultivate in the world, but it only took Zhou Chen ten years to practice Pure Yang Jue to a perfect state, which even the founder who originally created Pure Yang Jue could not achieve.
talent.
Zhou Chen said modestly: "I am standing on the shoulders of giants to achieve my current achievements."
"Not arrogant, not impatient, very good."
Pavilion Master Lin was even more satisfied, but he suddenly sighed: "The road to martial arts is never-ending. With a talent like yours, if you can devote yourself to practicing martial arts, you will definitely become an unparalleled martial arts master. But you
Now that we are trapped in a whirlpool like Jinling City, I probably don’t even have much time to meditate on practicing martial arts.”
Zhou Chen said: "Master, this is something I have to experience. After all, there is a past that I can't let go of."
"I didn't want to say anything to you. You are a determined person. I knew it from the first moment I saw you."
Pavilion Master Lin said and suddenly laughed: "I heard from Lin Chen that you are going to get married? You will even have a child soon?"
"Master, since I haven't had your contact information, I haven't had time to report this matter to you. Gong Yu and I are in love. Although we haven't officially gotten married yet, she is indeed pregnant."
"Hahaha, okay, great thing. When you and Xiao Shu were trying to detoxify, I was really worried about hurting your foundation. Now it seems that you are also a blessing in disguise."
Pavilion Master Lin was very happy. He was also a man and knew how important it was for a man to carry on the family line, especially for a powerful man like Zhou Chen who came from a noble family. The descendants were even more important.
Lin Chen listened for a long time, and then couldn't help but interrupt and asked: "Dad, you came back suddenly this time and called all our brothers back. Is there anything important you want to tell us?"
Pavilion Master Lin glared at Lin Chen dissatisfiedly: "You are already in your thirties, and you still don't look mature and stable at all. Your junior brother is about to become a father, what about you?"
Lin Chen looked helpless after being scolded: "Dad, why does this involve me? You didn't give birth to me until you were in your thirties, so it's not too late for me."
Pavilion Master Lin also knew what kind of virtue his son had and did not train him any further.
"It's true that I asked you to come back because I have something to do, but let's wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival is over before we talk about it."
Zhou Chen spent the Mid-Autumn Festival on Langya Mountain. Langya Pavilion was very big and there were a lot of people, so the Mid-Autumn Festival was quite lively.
Lin Chen, in particular, was a restless person. When he was bored, he called people over to play mahjong. Even Pavilion Master Lin was very interested in playing a few rounds.
As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival passed, Pavilion Master Lin called Lin Chen and Zhou Chen to his room.
"I've called you back this time. I have a few things to tell you."
When Lin Chen heard this, he immediately became nervous: "Dad, what do you mean? What is an explanation?"
"Shut up and listen to me."
Pavilion Master Lin, who was interrupted, gave Lin Chen a very dissatisfied look.
"In the past few years, I have traveled to various countries, and I have been deeply impressed by the insignificance of human beings. This world is really too vast, and my body is still healthy, so I am planning to travel overseas, but I don't know how long it will take.
That’s why I called you back to explain some things.”
After hearing this, Lin Chen was even more surprised: "Dad, are you kidding me? Do you really want to take a boat to travel overseas?"
Zhou Chen also said with a serious face: "Master, the risk of going to sea is very high, why don't you think about it again?"
Pavilion Master Lin waved his hand and said: "No need to think about it, I have already made a decision. You don't need to persuade me, just listen to what I say."
"Lin Chen, you are my son. After I leave, Langya Pavilion will be handed over to you. From now on, you will be the master of Langya Pavilion."
With that said, he handed Lin Chen the token representing the master of Langya Pavilion. The token was just a jade ring, which was not particularly precious, but it was also passed down from generation to generation in Langya Pavilion and represented the token of the master.
"Although Langya Pavilion is also a force in the Jianghu, it has always been neutral. You have to remember that Langya Pavilion will always be neutral in the future. Try not to get involved in the battle between Jianghu and the court. Once Langya Pavilion can no longer remain neutral, it will be destroyed.
Not far away.”
Lin Chen's face lost the smile and became very serious: "Dad, I know what to do."
In fact, he has been managing Langya Pavilion these years, but from now on, he is the official head of Langya Pavilion. He will not refuse such a responsibility.
"Although you have a more out-of-the-box personality, I feel more at ease when doing things."
Although Pavilion Master Lin always scolded Lin Chen, he was still quite satisfied and relieved with the son he had trained since childhood.
Then his eyes turned to Zhou Chen.
"Xiao Chen, it has been ten years since you became my disciple. In fact, I have not really taught you that long. Your current achievements are basically due to your own efforts."
Zhou Chen said: "Master, my current achievements are all due to your teachings. Without you, Xiao Shu and I still don't know what would have happened."
"Ji people have their own destiny. Even without me, you and Xiao Shu will achieve something."
Pavilion Master Lin did not take credit and continued: "I am going to travel overseas and may not come back for a long time. If you are not in a hurry, just stay in Langya Pavilion for a while. I have nothing to teach you about martial arts, but
If you are interested in other miscellaneous subjects such as the Five Elements and Bagua, Qimen Dunjia, etc., I can teach you."
Zhou Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. He knew that his master was a scholar, not only in martial arts, but also extremely powerful in all other aspects. However, he had previously focused all his energy on learning martial arts and had never thought about learning anything else.
Now that the master is willing to give everything he has to teach him, of course he will not refuse.
"Master, I am very interested. I am willing to stay and study with you, but I have to write a letter to the capital and must go back before Gong Yu gives birth."
Pavilion Master Lin nodded and said: "As long as you are willing to learn. These things are very complicated. I can only introduce you to them. If you want to learn the essence, you need to study more on your own. It won't take too long."
After making the decision, Zhou Chen immediately wrote a letter and asked Lin Chen to use a carrier pigeon to deliver it to Mei Changsu in the capital.
