The world of film and television starts from a young age

Chapter 984 Pan'er: I've been taken advantage of again

Many bosses and shopkeepers in Banzhimian and Chatang Lane made an appointment for a tea fight, and the news quickly spread throughout Chatang Lane and the entire Maxing Street.

In order to watch the fun, many people gathered in the half-covered noodle shop, and even outside the shop.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it was only on the day when Half Mask opened for business that it was so prosperous.

This is a good opportunity for Banmian to publicize, but the premise is that they must win the provocative door-to-door shopkeepers in Chatang Lane.

If they lose, the half-covered facade will plummet. Many people just live with a face. If the half-covered lost today, those pretentious literati will definitely not come to the half-covered again.

It is precisely because of this that Zhao Pan'er is very solemn. She has the acumen of a businessman and knows that this is an opportunity.

Of course, even if it's not a chance, she has no way out, and today she must compete with the shopkeepers in Chatang Lane.

When Zhao Pan'er was fighting with the representative of Chatang Lane, Zhou Chen also quietly came to the half-hidden second floor, looking down at the fighting tea below.

Chinese culture is extensive and profound, even if it is just a tea ceremony, it is also comprehensive and has countless schools.

Zhou Chen stood upstairs and watched, and felt something in his heart. In the modern society of later generations, many people think that the tea ceremony is too cumbersome. Most people drink tea to quench their thirst. Only a few people will really study ancient times. The tea ceremony passed down by the ancestors of the time.

On the contrary, when I was a child, I learned a little bit from our great country and went back, and it was regarded as a treasure, and it has been passed down.

Of course, he could understand why it became like that.

The pace of life in modern society is too fast. Everyone is so busy making money and supporting their families that they can’t even support themselves and their families. There is no time left to study the tea ceremony.

Even if I have time, I go to check my mobile phone, play cards, go to bars, and talk about love.

Unlike now, there are many people who drink tea and understand tea, especially those literati, who want that kind of artistic conception. If you don’t have two brushes in your hand, people will not be willing to come to you to drink tea.

The tea fight was indeed an interesting thing, but it took a long time. Zhou Chen stood upstairs and watched for a long time before he could tell the result.

As a result, Zhao Paner naturally won, and the opponent who still won had no temper.

Sun Sanniang and her daughters cheered excitedly. This victory in the tea fight in Chatang Lane is equivalent to establishing the position of Half Hidden in the tea house in Tokyo, and it has greatly become famous in Tokyo.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Chen also smiled, and then left without going down to say hello to Zhao Pan'er and the others.

In the evening, Zhou Chen came to the small courtyard where Zhao Paner and the others lived again, and knocked on Zhao Paner's window.

This was not Zhou Chen's first visit, so when Zhao Pan'er heard the voice, a smile appeared on his face, and he opened the window familiarly.

"You're here."

"Well, here we come."

"Aren't you busy recently?"

"It's okay, it's not too busy. I also went to watch the tea fight in Chatang Lane with your half-covered faces today. You were really beautiful at that time."

"You went too?"

While Zhao Pan'er was sweet in her heart, she was also very surprised: "But why didn't I see you?"

Zhou Chen said: "Because after your competition ended, I saw that you were very busy, so I didn't bother you in the past. I just happened to have something else to do, so I left first."

"After this competition, your half-hidden face has gained a foothold in Tokyo. I believe that with your ability, you will be able to make half-hidden face bigger and stronger."

But after saying this, he suddenly remembered something. In the TV plot, it seemed that a huge storm destroyed the half mask, so Zhao Pan'er and the others had to think about expanding the scale and operating the restaurant.

It's just that the exact time of the heavy rainstorm was not clearly stated in the TV series, so he didn't know how to remind him, so he could only let nature take its course.

Zhao Pan'er smiled and said: "Then, I would like to accept the auspicious words of Lord Marquis, and hope that half-hiding can be done better and better, so that we can continue to stay in Tokyo with peace of mind."

Zhou Chen said: "Actually, if you want to stay in Tokyo, there is an easier way."

"what way?"

"To become the eldest lady of the Zhongyonghou Mansion, let alone three people, even if there are thirty or three hundred people, you can stay if you want."

Zhao Pan'er immediately rolled her eyes, but before she could speak, Zhou Chen suddenly stretched his hands into the window, and under Zhao Pan'er's shocking gaze, he held her waist with both hands, and easily carried her out of the window.

"Ah? What are you doing?"

Zhao Pan'er exclaimed, but still couldn't stop Zhou Chen.

After Zhou Chen carried Zhao Pan'er out, he didn't let her go, but hugged Zhao Pan'er straight up, and the nervous Zhao Pan'er patted his shoulder.

"What are you doing, put me down quickly, put me down quickly."

Zhou Chen didn't let go, instead he said: "I've been waiting for this moment for so long, do you think I'll let you go easily, Pan'er?"

Zhao Pan'er struggled vigorously, but how could she escape Zhou Chen's clutches, she was still tightly hugged by Zhou Chen, and her feet couldn't touch the ground at all.

"Master Hou, don't be like this, it's bad to be seen."

Zhao Pan'er was nervous and shy. It wasn't the first time she was so close to Zhou Chen. They even had skin-to-skin relationship when they were in Qiantang.

But at that time it was a completely different concept from now, and now she thought of what Zhou Chen said to her, combined with the current situation, she felt both ashamed and happy.

"You have no one here, and it's so late, no one will see it, so what if someone sees it? Anyway, I am determined to marry you, and I am not afraid of being known by others."

These words made Zhao Pan'er unable to refute, Zhou Chen was not afraid of anything, what else could she say, not to mention that she already had a good impression of Zhou Chen, which was considered half-hearted.

After a while, Zhao Pan'er asked, "Aren't you tired of holding me like this?"

Zhou Chen smiled and said: "That's because you don't know my strength, don't talk about it for a while, even if I hold you for a day, I won't feel tired."

Being hugged by Zhou Chen like this made Zhao Pan'er uncomfortable, but Zhou Chen didn't let her down, she couldn't help it.

"How can you let me down?"

"Unless you kiss me."

"No."

Zhao Pan'er categorically refused, being hugged was already very intimate, kissing Zhou Chen, she really couldn't do it.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

But as soon as she said her refusal, Zhou Chen put her down, and then lightly pecked her lips.

Zhao Paner's eyes widened, and then he saw Zhou Chen's figure flashing in front of him, and he had already run away.

"I'll be on duty tomorrow, so let's go first, Pan'er, get a good night's sleep."

Zhou Chen jumped off the wall directly, without giving Zhao Pan'er a chance to get mad, and he disappeared.

Zhao Pan'er was still depressed at first, and even had a little bit of resentment, but seeing Zhou Chen disappear so quickly, still in this way, she burst out laughing.

Gently touching her lips, she was actually thinned, and she still kissed her lips.

"Really, it doesn't make sense at all."

There was a helpless smile on her face, but no matter how you looked at it, she felt that there was more joy in her smile.

Zhao Pan'er stood in a daze for a while, then turned around and was about to go back to the house through the door, but when she reached the corner, her footsteps stopped instantly.

"San, San Niang, when did you come?"

Sun Sanniang laughed a few times: "I just came here."

How could Zhao Pan'er believe her, and asked again: "Did you see it just now?"

Sun Sanniang nodded: "I see, Pan'er, I really didn't do it on purpose, but now, Pan'er, you believe what I said before. I said it a long time ago. Master Zhou has taken a fancy to you, and you still don't believe me."

Zhao Paner rolled her eyes, is this a question of believe it or not?How could Sun Sanniang not be able to see what Sun Sanniang could see.

It's just that she never thought about it before, but recently after Zhou Chen's filial piety period ended, Zhou Chen's offensive was so fierce that she had no defense at all, and she had already sunk.

Sun Sanniang laughed and said, "It seems that I will call you the Marquis soon."

Mrs. Tanhua can't do it, but it's even more honorable to be a Marquise.

"Sanniang, don't talk nonsense, there's nothing left to say."

"Hmph, others don't know you, how can I not know? If you don't like Zhou Houye, how can you let Zhou Houye treat you like this? Anyway, I think you two are very suitable. Zhou Houye is more suitable than Ouyang Zhou. Xu is more than a hundred times stronger, and you will definitely enjoy the blessings if you follow Lord Zhou."

Sun Sanniang's experience during this period also made her see many things clearly.

Look at a man, not how he treats you when he is poor, but how he treats you when he is prosperous.

Ouyang Xu is one example, Zhou Chen is another example.

Zhou Chen knew from the very beginning that Zhao Pan'er was humble and had fallen into a lowly family, but he never underestimated Zhao Pan'er, and he had been helping them since Qiantang; after arriving in Tokyo, he took care of them many times.

So Sun Sanniang felt that Zhou Chen was much more reliable than Ouyang Xu.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's your Sanniang who has a good eye."

Zhao Pan'er didn't argue with her either, because her thoughts were similar to Sun Sanniang's, and she also felt that Zhou Chen was much better than Ouyang Xu.

Sun Sanniang dragged Zhao Pan'er into the house gossiping, and asked curiously: "Pan'er, tell me quickly, Lord Zhou has treated you like that, has he ever mentioned marriage to you? He is a marquis with a high status. , could it be that he wants to take you as a concubine?"

"No, he said that he was willing to marry me and let me be the eldest lady of the Hou's mansion, but I didn't agree."

When Sun Sanniang heard this, she immediately became anxious: "Pan'er, are you out of your mind? You haven't agreed to the right lady of the Marquis Mansion? Are you stupid?"

Zhao Pan'er looked heavy, and sighed: "You also know how big the gap is between me and him. I'm just afraid that he will regret it, and I'm also afraid that if he marries me, he will be gossiped behind his back. Although I also want to be with him, But at the same time, I was afraid of dragging him down."

"Ugh."

Sun Sanniang sighed heavily. After arriving in the capital, she realized the disparity in status between people. Zhao Pan'er's worry was really normal.

If a marquis like Zhou Chen, a high official in the imperial court, married a woman from Zeng Ruo's humble background, I'm afraid he would really be gossiped about.

"Pan'er, I don't know how to persuade you, but I think Lord Zhou is a man worth entrusting for life. If you miss him, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life."

"Thank you, San Niang."

Zhao Pan'er knew that Sun Sanniang was sincerely doing her own good, and was very grateful.

"I'm going to think about it carefully."

…………

"Chen'er, today's banquet is specially held for you, you can communicate more with other people later."

In the side hall of Zhou Chen's fourth uncle Meng Wei's mansion, Meng Wei said to Zhou Chen with a serious face.

Meng Wei's mansion held a banquet today, and invited many nobles in the city of Tokyo to the banquet.

Xungui is a group, just like the civil official group, but the Xungui group is more united than the civil official group, because most of the Xungui are passed down from generation to generation, and there are often marriages within the Xungui group, so the relationship is naturally stronger than those from The civil servants from all over the world are more united.

The Meng family is the first step in the entire Xungui Group, and the Zhongyonghou Mansion, since Zhou Chen's parents were married, has also stood in the united front with the Meng family.

In order to maintain the relationship between nobles, there are often such banquets, but in the past it was Zhou Chen's father, Lord Zhou, who participated in it, but now, Zhou Chen, the head of the family, attended.

"Don't worry, uncle, I know what to do."

Zhou Chen is no stranger to communicating with people and getting closer. He has lived for so many years, and he has experienced many such occasions.

What's more, now that he has a very high starting point, he doesn't need to flatter others, as long as he has a good relationship with them, it's easier.

And she also has her own ideas. In order to complete the task in the future, he must lead the army again. Among these nobles, there must be many elites. If they can make friends with them, it will be a great help for him in the future.

Meng Wei sighed: "Your eighth uncle has now gone to the border of Xiazhou to lead the army. With the troops you left before, it should not be a problem to deal with the Xiazhou Dingnan Army. And you, who just happened to be the deputy commander of the Ma Jun, This is equivalent to switching positions between the two of you, so you don't need to worry about the issue of control."

Zhou Chen is now the deputy commander of the Ma Jun, and his predecessor happened to be his eighth uncle Meng Cong. After he went to the border, this position was vacant until the end of his filial piety, and the officials handed it over to him.

It can also be seen from this that this official still trusts Xungui.

"Today's banquet, apart from being a gathering of nobles, has another important reason."

Meng Wei caressed his beard and hair, and said with a smile: "You are 26 this year, and you should have gotten married long ago. It was because of filial piety. Now that the filial piety period is over, and you have no elders, uncle, I still have to take care of you." You worry about it."

When Zhou Chen heard this, he shook his head quickly: "No, uncle, I don't have any opinions on getting married, but I have my own ideas on who I want to marry."

Meng Wei glared at him: "What do you think, your conditions are so good, any woman is worthy of her, but I still think that you should marry a noble daughter. It's the best choice."
