The splendid pastoral of the fierce scholar

Chapter 196
Looking around for a while, Chen Yiyi confirmed Zhou Chengchen's whereabouts, and quietly followed.

"Hey! You've got revenge, why don't you watch that person being interrogated and just stay here alone in a daze?"

Zhou Chengchen was alone in a daze next to the small bamboo grove. When Chen Yiyi interrupted him, he didn't know what his original intention was. He just felt that his long-standing goal had suddenly come true. He was a little dazed and didn't know what to do. , and the hatred for the old woman has almost dissipated now, and I am even more interested in the interrogation. Anyway, I already know the final outcome.

Chen Yiyi saw Zhou Chengchen fell into a daze after he woke up, still in that confused style.

Sighing, Chen Yiyi asked, "Zhou Chengchen, what is your goal in life?"

"life goals?"

If Chen Yiyi had asked Zhou Chengchen before, the first thing Zhou Chengchen thought of would be revenge. When Zhou Chengchen was very young, his mother died. Children at that age should not have memories, but Zhou Chengchen just remembered those details. Clearly, it is now.

This can be regarded as the beginning of Zhou Chengchen's memory. It can be said that Zhou Chengchen's life began with the desire for revenge. The dangers he has suffered all the time have also strengthened his idea. In other words, improving his own strength is the most feasible way for Zhou Chengchen Over the years, almost all of what Zhou Chengchen did revolved around improving his own strength. Thinking about it so suddenly, Zhou Chengchen really didn't think about what he would do after revenge, which is why he is so at a loss now.

Seeing that Zhou Chengchen still didn't answer, Chen Yiyi continued to ask: "Have you never thought about what happens after revenge?"

Zhou Chengchen nodded in a daze, and let out a long sigh.

Chen Yiyi thought for a while, seeing Zhou Chengchen like this, she was not in a hurry, and then sat down beside Zhou Chengchen, her tone relaxed.

"Do you want to know my purpose in life?"

Zhou Chengchen nodded, although he probably guessed Chen Yiyi's goal in life, isn't it to earn money and become a landlord?Or become a local tyrant, of course, no matter what, you will never be more local tyrant than your own family, but there is another way to be as local tyrant as your own family.

Looking at the distant sky, Chen Yiyi rarely recalled her past life.

"Actually, when I was a child, I was always unhappy and couldn't do what I wanted to do, so I thought, if I have the strength, I can do what I want to do? So I am very I want to be very powerful. But until one day, I found out that money is the most useful thing, at least in most cases, so I changed my mind, then I will make money and become a If you blame the rich, you can get everything after that, and you will be free."

"So you're such a money fanatic?"

Chen Yiyi smiled: "Maybe, but... I never think that making money is a purpose, but I always think that making money is a tool."

Zhou Chengchen was puzzled: "Tool/"

"Yes, it's a tool. What do I make money for? It means that I can do whatever I want, but why do I do whatever I want? Because I will be very happy when I am like this. Why am I happy, because I am Free, not oppressed by reality, do what you want to do, but do what you want. What I want to do is to have a rich and stable life, live freely and happily, and I don’t have to be The powerful, the richest person, I just use the things I like to let myself live a life I like. Isn’t life like this for decades? What else can I do? Many people say that the current forbearance, Or the present pain is for future happiness, but how long will it be in the future, and how will this future be defined? Is it more than ten years later, or decades later? Or is it that my children and grandchildren can enjoy it, but I will die at the end of the day? You didn’t really enjoy life when you were young? So, are you getting revenge now? Then think about it, how can you be happy! What is your happiness! Remember to tell me if you understand it!”

After finishing speaking, Chen Yiyi got up and walked away, looked back at Zhou Chengchen, saw him thinking, and felt a little relieved in her heart, fortunately, her chicken soup was not in vain.

But it was beyond Chen Yiyi's expectation. From Chen Yiyi's point of view, although Zhou Chengchen was a bit entangled, he was generally a decisive person. Until the next three days, Zhou Chengchen did not come to Chen Yiyi.

Chen Yiyi became impatient while waiting, wondering if this Zhou Chengchen had forgotten what he said, this Master Zhou said that if his son didn't get rid of his knot with him, he wouldn't fight the land.

However, if Zhou Chengchen was not allowed to come out of that dazed state, what a fart!

After waiting for three days, Chen Yiyi couldn't sit still, and went to Zhou Mansion to find Zhou Chengchen.

In the end, I saw him in Zhou Chengchen's room, and heard from the servants of the Zhou mansion that this Zhou Chengchen had been alone in the room for a long time, neither eating nor drinking, just not coming out, thinking about something all the time.

Chen Yiyi thought to himself, could this kid be dazed?How good is it to be crazy at such a young age.

He knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside.

If Zhou Chengchen hadn't been seen through the window, Chen Yiyi could have suspected that there was no one in the room.

At this time, a handsome maid came over, holding a food box, saw Chen Yiyi, and saluted.

"Girl, are you here to see my young master?"

Chen Yiyi nodded. Seeing this, the servant girl persuaded Chen Yiyi not to wait any longer. Her young master had been staying for three days, and there was an anxious expression in the maidservant's words.

Inexplicably, Chen Yiyi felt that when the maid said this, there seemed to be a little inexplicable hostility and scrutiny on her, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

When Chen Yiyi felt uncomfortable, she waved her hand to make the servant girl back down: "Of course I have a way, you go down first."

As soon as these words came out, Chen Yiyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong. There was no lack of maids in the house. Chen Yiyi had spoken in such a commanding tone for a long time, but she always tended to be gentle, and Chen Yiyi didn't think there was anything wrong.

Unexpectedly, there seemed to be a little anger in the servant girl's eyes, which was fleeting, but she didn't back down and stood where she was.

Chen Yiyi was surprised, and raised her tone a little: "Why don't you go down?"

The servant girl saluted lightly, raised her chin, and had a hint of arrogance in her eyes: "The girl is a guest of the Zhou Mansion, and our servants of the Zhou Mansion are naturally good at taking care of me, but I myself serve the young master closely. As a guest, I don’t have the right to order slaves.”

There is no respect in the words, and the attitude is even more serious.

This time Chen Yiyi was surprised, this little girl is really awesome, no, not the little girl, the spirit stone has been scanned, and she is already sixteen years old, for an eight-year-old child like Chen Yiyi, it is really amazing Not a little girl anymore.

"But... what I want to do, you, a maid, shouldn't be able to control it?"

As soon as the words were finished, Chen Yiyi kicked the door open, and yelled at the inside: "Zhou Chengchen, let me out, it's been three days, you have to hold back even if you hold back!"

The maid was shocked!I was going to organize Chen Yiyi, but I couldn't keep up with Chen Yiyi's speed. Seeing that the door had been kicked open, Chen Yiyi's words were already roaring out, and Yi glared at Chen Yiyi for a while: "Miss Chen, although you are Zhou Fu Customer, you can't go too far!"

Chen Yiyi shrugged: "Why did I go too far? Your young master didn't say anything, why are you so anxious, a maid?"

The servant girl wanted to say something, but stopped, her face suddenly turned red, and she explained: "I, I am thinking of the young master, you are so rude...you,"

The servant girl's words were interrupted, and Zhou Chengchen appeared at the door with a somber expression: "Then is this something you, a servant girl, can say? Is it something you, a servant girl, can teach me about my guests?"

Upon hearing Zhou Chengchen's voice, the servant girl was so frightened that she turned around and knelt on the ground, aggrievedly explaining: "Servant, servant has been watching the young master for so long, if you are disturbed in the room..."

"Excuse me? Your daily meal delivery is the interruption, and didn't I say a long time ago that the Chen family's guests must not be stopped when they come, and you must report immediately if you want to see me?"

Zhou Chengchen usually gets along with Chen Yiyi as ordinary friends, but this time he taught the servant girl a lesson, she showed the master's breeze, the servant girl almost burst into tears, looking up at Zhou Chengchen, it seemed that she had been greatly wronged.

"Get off!"

Zhou Chengchen roared angrily, the maid didn't dare to stay any longer even if she was unwilling, she wiped her tears and walked away.

Before leaving, he seemed to look back at Chen Yiyi, with complicated emotions in his eyes.

By this time, Chen Yiyi probably understood that it was just a vulgar [-] o'clock plot, and this maid's thoughts seemed a little unrealistic.

Forget it, she's not her own maid anyway, so who cares.

Chen Yiyi turned to face Zhou Chengchen.

These three days I really don’t eat or drink. It seems that a boy like Zhou Chengchen, who is less than 12 years old, has aged almost all of a sudden. Well, Chen Yiyi thinks that old age can’t be applied to such a child who celebrates Children’s Day in modern times. , but I feel that such a word should be used in my heart.

"Zhou Chengchen, why have you been thinking about your life goals for three days?"

Zhou Chengchen showed a relieved smile: "I got into a dead end for a while, but now I'm fine, I figured it out."

"Oh? What a coincidence, you've figured it out since I was there/"

Zhou Chengchen nodded with a smile, his brows and eyes were indeed relieved.

The fire of gossip burning in her heart, Chen Yiyi narrowed her eyes and looked at Zhou Chengchen: "Are you interested in revealing something?"

Zhou Chengchen smiled without saying a word.

Chen Yiyi was a little disappointed: "It's not loyal enough. You don't want to reveal your life goals like this. I didn't ask where your family's treasure is. As for that? Don't forget that I have helped you a lot!"

"I just thought that things are almost handled now, and there is no obstacle to your business, so you can start."

Seeing that Zhou Chengchen was unwilling to talk about this, Chen Yiyi was no longer attached, and it was fine if he didn't talk about it, his own affairs were the most important.

"Well, the shares given to you are still the same as previously agreed, and Xu Banxian will handle these things for me. After that, it's fine for your family to save face, and it's fine for you to protect our family in the future. Now your family has become a The number one family in Fucheng, there should be no one who can trouble me."

Zhou Chengchen nodded: "Naturally, it's just...you're going back to Baiya now that you're done?"

Chen Yiyi nodded, and answered yes as a matter of course.

"Really?"

"Yes!"

"But... do you know how strong you are now?"

Chen Yiyi thought for a while, and then said: "I'm not very clear, but I'm still short of my own goal, but now the basic foundation has been fixed, and I don't have to be busy anymore, just take it step by step. "

Zhou Chengchen was even more puzzled: "Then you go back to Baiya."

Chen Yiyi was more puzzled than Zhou Chengchen, and frowned: "What does this have to do with returning to Baiya?"

Seeing that Chen Yiyi really didn't understand, Zhou Chengchen opened his mouth to express his opinion: "Yiyi, look at your current business, how can you earn tens of thousands of taels a year? And you have also helped my Zhou family a lot. There are, of course, people cannot forget their roots, but you don’t just want to stay in Baiya forever, so what’s the use of all the money you earn, you never thought about coming to the provincial capital, the last time you come to the county town, right? Then develop your family, so that your Chen family is no longer a farmer for generations, and if you can compare your younger brother well in the future, it will be no problem to enter the officialdom, and your family will no longer be that Chen family."

After saying these words, Zhou Chengchen looked at Chen Yiyi expectantly, waiting for Chen Yiyi to answer.

amount……

Chen Yiyi really did not expect that Zhou Chengchen would say such a thing.

After being stunned for a long time, I said, "Actually, maybe you have misunderstood the life I think. I want a freedom..."

"I know, but if you want real freedom, your family must have the basic power. Our family can..."

Zhou Chengchen interrupted Chen Yiyi, and now Chen Yiyi also interrupted Zhou Chengchen.

"Okay, stop talking."

Chen Yiyi's expression was calm, and now she understood that Zhou Chengchen saw it that way, but she really misunderstood Chen Yiyi. Originally, Chen Yiyi had no interest in these powers, and she had a good relationship with Zhou Chengchen. Help is also because you know that the more you earn without power, the greater the danger.However, Chen Yiyi really has no idea of ​​developing the Chen family, let alone letting Yi'er enter the officialdom.

Freedom, it's not just about having enough money, it's more about doing what you like, although it is indeed more free after you have power, but Chen Yiyi knows the price to pay, and Chen Yiyi doesn't want to pay those prices in exchange for Freedom to come like this.

And Yi'er's future choice is not something she should control. The rise of the Chen family is not her idea. How the future generations look depends on the future generations' own hard work. Chen Yiyi feels that these assets are already very worthy.

Looking at Zhou Chengchen, Chen Yiyi said flatly: "I like Baiya, that is my freedom, and what you said is not what I think."
