The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 976

"If I have time in the future, I would like to ask you for advice."

Zhou Chen's words made Zhao Pan'er even more embarrassed: "Mr. Zhou, don't make fun of me anymore. This is just a dirty trick. Don't dirty your hands."

"You don't feel overwhelmed by Yiduo."

Zhou Chen chuckled, changed the subject and asked, "You guys have been in Tokyo for a few days, how do you feel, do you have any plans to stay?"

Zhao Pan'er didn't answer immediately, but Song Yinzhang couldn't help but said: "Tokyo City is really big, bigger than Qiantang, I think Tokyo is better than Qiantang."

She spoke the truth, but for her, the most important thing is that here, no one knows that she is an official prostitute, so she doesn't have to suffer from other people's strange eyes all the time.

The servant girl Yin Ping also agreed with her master's words again and again. She has been walking around a lot in the past few days, and what she sees and hears is an eye-opener for her, especially at night, it is even more lively, far from being comparable to Qiantang.

Sun Sanniang said: "I have looked around for the past few days and found that there are many inns and restaurants with many customers. If you do business here, you will definitely make money."

Her focus is different from Song Yinzhang's. Making money to survive is more important to her than anything else.

Zhou Chen looked at Zhao Pan'er, and Zhao Pan'er said, "I haven't thought about it that much. I just want to deal with Ouyang Xu's matter well, and I'll talk about the rest later."

Zhou Chen said: "For a person like Ouyang Xu, you should cut through the mess quickly and break up with him. If this drags on, it will only make you feel more uncomfortable. Why make things difficult for yourself?"

"It is precisely because I want to break up with him that I ask him to get back what belongs to me. I have long since lost the slightest thought of him."

Zhao Paner's face was firm, and he said: "It's just that I didn't expect that I haven't seen his true face clearly in the past three years. He is more brazen than I imagined. He promised with his mouth, but he regretted it shamelessly behind his back."

Zhou Chen suddenly said: "Would you like me to help you? Although Gao Guan is not familiar with me, he will definitely give me my face. I can explain Ouyang Xu's situation to him. But he still cherishes his reputation to some extent, if he knew what Ouyang Xu did, he would definitely not marry his daughter to Ouyang Xu again."

Sun Sanniang exclaimed in surprise: "That's fine, Pan'er, doesn't that Ouyang Xu just want to get rich now? We ruined his good deeds and made him mad."

But Zhao Pan'er shook his head: "Master Hou, Sanniang, although I also hate Ouyang Xu to the bone, this is a conflict between me and Ouyang Xu. I don't want Master Hou to worry about these trivial matters of mine. No matter how difficult it is, I will use my own method to solve it.”

Zhou Chen shook his head. Zhao Pan'er still hadn't suffered a real beating. Although she had lived in the Jiaofang Division for several years and had seen a lot of darkness, she obviously didn't understand Tokyo, the capital of the Song Dynasty. Here, the truth is not important, power Status is king.

How many people can have a good end to the struggle between the people and the government?
In the TV plot, it was because of Gu Qianfan that they were able to survive in Tokyo and drove Ouyang Xu away.

But now, if Zhao Pan'er didn't have the backing, it would be impossible for Zhao Pan'er to beat Ouyang Xu.

After thinking about it for a while, since Zhao Pan'er has a headache, let her try it first.

"Okay, I don't want to ask about the matter between you and Ouyang Xu, but are you going to stay in this inn all the time? The cost here is not low, right?"

Speaking of this, Sun Sanniang got excited and opened her mouth to complain.

"Not only is it not cheap, it's simply outrageously expensive. We've only lived here for a few days, and we've spent a lot of money. If this continues, our money will be used for accommodation."

The maid Yin Ping nodded in agreement, the money given to the inn these days is enough to redeem her body.

Zhao Pan'er was also distressed: "I didn't expect that the cost of Tokyo would be so high. If we want to survive in Tokyo, we must not live in an inn all the time, and we must find a job to earn a living."

"Then let's continue to open the tea house?" Sun Sanniang suggested.

Zhao Pan'er thought about it for a while and said, "We'll discuss it slowly after Ouyang Xu's matter is resolved."

Zhou Chen said: "If you have nothing to do now, you can go with me to a place."

"Where?"

Zhao Paner and his daughters all looked at Zhou Chen curiously.

"When you wait, you will know, let's go."

The girls did not hesitate, and stood up with Zhou Chen. They absolutely believed in Zhou Chen. Without Zhou Chen, they would not have been able to arrive in Tokyo smoothly.

"Wait a while, I'll go to the house and bring my lonely moon."

To leave the inn temporarily, Song Yinzhang was most worried about her pipa, so he hurried back to the house to get the pipa.

There was a carriage parked outside the inn, and Qin Yi was waiting beside the carriage. Seeing Zhou Chen approaching, he immediately put the mat beside the carriage.

Zhou Chen got into the carriage first, and then said to Zhao Pan'er and the others: "Get in the carriage, the place to go is a bit far, and walking is too slow."

Only then did Zhao Pan'er get into the carriage, and then Song Yinzhang and the others also got into the carriage together.

The space inside the carriage is not small, it is no problem for several people to sit, and this carriage was refitted by Zhou Chen, which is much more comfortable than the carriages of this era.

Zhao Paner's four daughters all got into the carriage, while Qin Yi and Zhou Huai sat outside the carriage and were in charge of driving the carriage.

The interior of the carriage is extraordinarily luxurious, and the fabrics used are of the highest quality. Sun Sanniang curiously touched here and looked there.

Song Yinzhang asked softly, "Master Hou, where are we going?"

"You'll know when it's over." Zhou Chen made a fool of himself.

Song Yinzhang said again: "Master Hou, I said before that I would play music for you, but I have never fulfilled my promise. When you are free, I will use Gu Yue to play a few more songs for you."

Zhou Chen said with a smile: "It's been so long, you still remember it so clearly, you have a heart."

"This is what I should do. I'm too useless. I can't do anything else but play music, so I can only repay you in this way."

"Knowing how to play music, and being able to play it well, is a great thing in itself, so you don't have to belittle yourself."

Sun Sanniang looked at Song Yinzhang who took the initiative to talk to Zhou Chen, and then looked at Zhao Pan'er who was calm, and sighed in her heart.

Zhao Pan'er raised the curtain of the carriage and looked out curiously.

"It's so lively here."

"This is Imperial Street, which leads directly to Xuandemen in Miyagi, and is one of the busiest streets in Tokyo."

Seeing that Zhao Paner was curious, Zhou Chen explained, so Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang also looked out curiously.

Tokyo Royal Street is one of the most important streets in Tokyo City. It starts from Xuande Gate of the Imperial Palace in the north, passes through Zhouqiao and Suzaku Gate, and goes directly to Nanxun Gate of the outer city.It is more than ten miles long and two hundred steps wide. It is the main street for the emperor to drive in and out, showing his dignity.

"This is Yujie. When I was at the inn, I heard someone mention that Yujie is the most prosperous street in Tokyo. Looking at it now, it really is."

"Yeah, this road is too wide, it must be several tens of feet?"

"It's so beautiful."

Although Zhao Pan'er and the three daughters also lived in the inn in the inner city, they were always busy with Ouyang Xu's affairs, and didn't have much leisure time to wander around Tokyo elegantly.

Sitting in the carriage, looking all the way, they were all fascinated by the prosperity of Yujie.

At this moment, the carriage stopped suddenly, Zhou Huai knocked on the carriage outside, and then opened the door curtain.

"Master Hou, there are people parading the imperial street ahead, blocking the street."

"It's okay, just wait."

The carriage stopped by the side of the street, and Zhao Pan'er and his daughters all looked outside through the curtain.

They are all very curious about parading the Royal Street and want to see and see.

"The oiran is here, the oiran is here."

The people outside shouted loudly, and then they all swarmed around both sides of the street, scrambling to look forward.

Zhou Huai said: "Master Hou, it's Zhang Haohao, the oiran of the Jiaofang Division. Today is the birthday of the Eight Great Kings. The Jiaofang is dedicated to singing and dancing in Yanan Tower. Mrs. Zhang sang a wild goose song, and the officials not only appreciated it She is dressed in colorful clothes, and she is allowed to parade the Royal Street."

Zhou Chen said in surprise: "You know what just happened today, it's ok, Zhou Huai."

Zhou Huai smiled embarrassedly: "Master Hou, I just heard it from someone near the inn."

Song Yinzhang looked ahead and asked in surprise, "Zhang Haohao, is she a prostitute in Jiaofang?"

Zhou Huai said: "Yes, Zhang Haohao is one of the most famous oirans in Tokyo. He is good at vocal music. He often plays at nobles' banquets. I heard that he has even been to the imperial palace."

"really?"

Song Yinzhang looked envious, she is also a happy prostitute, but compared with Zhang Haohao, the situation seems to be very different.

"Here we come." Zhou Huai suddenly called out.

I saw a group of men and horses coming in the center of the imperial street. The men are proud and the women are beautiful and beautiful. There are dozens of people, but there is only one person riding a horse, and that is the oiran in colorful clothes. Zhang Haohao.

Zhao Pan'er and his daughters were dumbfounded. In their minds, the prostitutes of Jiaofang Si Le were lowly, always inferior and looked down upon by others.

But Zhang Haohao, who looked at the scenery in front of him, was obviously just a prostitute, but he was able to tour the Imperial Street and was sought after by countless people, which subverted their imagination and exceeded their cognition.

On the other hand, Zhou Chen, seeing those people walking and scattering flower petals, the corners of his mouth twitched, he didn't know how tired he would be sweeping the streets.

Soon, Zhang Haohao's team passed Zhou Chen's place, and Zhou Huai was even more surprised.

"Hey, the one who led Zhang Haohao's horse turned out to be Liu Jiuguan. This picture looks so grand."

Zhou Chen knew that this Liu Jiuguan should be a character evolved from the historical Liu Sanbei. This person is really a frequent visitor to Jiaofang brothel, the kind who doesn't need to spend money to visit brothels.

Seeing Zhang Haohao on the horse, Zhou Chen was also a little surprised. This happened to be really beautiful. He was in his twenties, just at the prime of his life.

Zhang Haohao's ability to become a generation of oiran depends not only on her voice, but also on her appearance.

Otherwise, no matter how good your singing is, but you have a big face, see who else will follow you.

Until Zhang Haohao's team left, there was still a large group of melon-eaters following behind.

"She's really beautiful. So in Tokyo, can prostitutes be so popular? Even the officials will reward and praise her."

Song Yinzhang made no secret of her envy and excitement. She had always hated the lowly family, but she would be treated like this.

Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang were also shocked.

"Master Hou, are all the oirans in Tokyo this beautiful?"

"Landscape?"

Zhou Chen shook his head, and said with a serious face: "You only saw her scenery, but didn't see the hard work and embarrassment behind her, not to mention how many official prostitutes are there in the Jiaofang Siqinglou in Tokyo? People like Zhang Haohao, How many more?"

He was in Tokyo, and had never been in contact with Zhang Haohao, but he had a good impression of Zhang Haohao after watching TV dramas.

Among the brothels, there are indeed very few women with Zhang Haohao's character.

Along the way, the carriage seemed very quiet, and Zhao Paner and his daughters were obviously still reminiscing about the scene they had just seen.

The carriage passed through Imperial Street and came to East Street...

After more than half an hour, the carriage finally stopped.

"Lord Hou, we're here."

Zhao Pan'er and his daughters got off the carriage, looked at where the carriage was parked, and asked curiously, "Where is this?"

Zhou Huai said: "This is Anyefang, close to Daxiangguo Temple, and only two streets away from our Zhongyonghou Mansion."

"Let's go,"

Without saying a word, Zhou Chen walked towards the courtyard door in front of him. Zhou Huai quickly walked in front, took out the key, opened the courtyard door, and led Zhou Chen and the others in.

"Miss Zhao, this courtyard is also in a relatively good location in Anyefang. The place is very large, with more than a dozen rooms, a side hall, a garden, an artificial river and a stone bridge..."

Listening to Zhou Huai's effort to introduce the yard, the doubts on Zhao Pan'er's face became more serious.

"Wait, Lord Hou, this is?"

Zhou Chen said: "Didn't you tell me that the cost of accommodation in the inn is too high to last forever, and this courtyard will be used by you in the future."

"what?"

Sun Sanniang and her daughters all opened their mouths in shock. They had just strolled around and already knew how good this yard is. I am afraid that looking at the city of Tokyo, the location and the size of the yard are considered very good.

Zhao Pan'er hastily refused: "Master Hou, you won't be rewarded for nothing. We can't live in such a good courtyard, and we can't afford it. You have helped us so much, and we can no longer take advantage of you."

Zhou Chen said: "Don't refuse in a hurry. I didn't say I would give it to you, and I didn't intend to let you live for nothing. You have to pay rent to live here, five pennies a month."

"Five strings of money? In such a big yard, you only need five strings of money every month. Isn't it like living in vain?"

Sun Sanniang, who was quick in her heart, spoke out as soon as her mouth was bald. After she finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, and quickly covered her mouth.

Wuguan is a lot of money, but the problem is, this is Tokyo, and look at this yard.

Obviously, Zhou Houye wanted them to live on purpose, that's why he proposed a rent of five guan. Who would be willing to rent out such a good yard? Even if it was rented, the five guan would cost several times more.
