That is to say, Tokyo has abundant educational resources. If it were in other places, studying would be a luxury for ordinary people.
Zhou Chen opened a school in the Marquis' Mansion and invited teachers. For Qin Yi and others, this was a great gift and a good thing. There is no parent who does not want their children to become successful.
Zhou Chen waved his hand and said, "You have followed me for many years and have been loyal to me. I have seen it. This little thing is nothing."
After all, he was the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, so opening a school and hiring a teacher was not a difficult task for him.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 962 Zhao Paner, You Deserve It
Opening a school and hiring teachers were indeed not difficult tasks for Zhou Chen, but he did not start immediately.
Now that he is still in mourning, it is not a good thing to open the school with great fanfare, so he told Qin Yi this today just to remind him that the formal preparations will have to wait until he finishes mourning.
The butler Zhou Yan suddenly appeared and came to Zhou Chen's side.
"Master Hou."
"Uncle Yan, there's no need to address me like that. Just call me Brother Chen like before."
Zhou Yan shook his head firmly and refused: "I dare not. The Marquis is now the master of the Marquis Mansion. I can no longer address him as before. This is the rule and it also reflects respect and inferiority."
Although he has been in the Zhou family for decades and watched Zhou Chen grow up, he is very conscious and knows his identity. When the old marquis was around, he could call Zhou Chen that to show closeness, but now that Zhou Chen is the master of the marquisate, he must be respectful enough to ensure Zhou Chen's dignity in the mansion.
Zhou Chen didn't force it any more, but instead asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"My Lord, your uncle, Lord Meng's birthday is coming up in a few days. What do you think we should prepare?"
"Third uncle's birthday? Okay, I get it."
Although Zhou Chen is the only one left in the Zhou family of Marquis Zhongyong, the Zhending Meng clan to which Zhou Chen's mother belongs is the most powerful and noble family in the Song Dynasty. After the death of Zhou Chen's grandfather, he was conferred the title of a prince and was enshrined in the Taizu temple.
There were several brothers in Zhou Chen's mother's generation, some of whom were elites in the Meng family and held various important civil and military positions in the court. Therefore, the Meng family was a prestigious family in the Song Dynasty, and its influence was much stronger than that of the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion which was founded by military generals.
When Zhou Chen traveled through time and learned about the Meng family from his memory, the first thing he thought of was the Zhending Cao family of the Song Dynasty in the official history, because they were so similar.
Considering that this world is a fictional history, the Meng family may have really borrowed the background of the Cao family.
Zhou Chen knew that the scale of the Cao family in history was truly magnificent. Having such an in-law family was definitely a huge arm for Zhou Chen.
This third uncle was not outstanding in the Meng family and was just an ordinary person, but he married a princess. And most importantly, this third uncle and Zhou Chen's mother were siblings and had a very close relationship.
Zhou Chen was still in mourning and was unable to go to celebrate the birthday in person, but he carefully prepared a gift and asked his butler Yan Bo to deliver it on the birthday.
…………
In the inner city, near Xiangguo Temple, Zhou Chen was walking on the street with Qin Yi and others.
Looking at the bustling scene of people coming and going on the street, Zhou Chen was quite surprised: "What day is today? Why are there so many people going to Xiangguo Temple?"
Zhou Huai, the son of the housekeeper Zhou Yan, explained, "My Lord, the imperial examination held every three years has begun. The palace examination will be held soon. Students from all over the country have arrived in Tokyo City one after another, so Tokyo has been more lively recently than before. These people are probably going to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense and pray."
"Oh, the imperial examination held every three years."
Zhou Chen looked thoughtful, he remembered that the imperial examination system of the Song Dynasty was held once a year at the beginning, and then became once every three years. According to official history, during this period it should have been held once a year. As expected, in fictional historical film and television dramas, many things were very different from official history.
The imperial examination was a big event for the whole world, especially for scholars. It was a grand event that took place every three years. If one could pass the palace examination and become a Jinshi, then one could really soar to the sky and rise to a high position in the society.
He had also participated in the imperial examination, so he could understand the significance of it. Some students who lived far away would go to Tokyo early. If they arrived late, they might even have difficulty finding a place to live.
"When you are out, you don't need to call me Lord Marquis, call me Young Master."
Zhou Huai and others nodded in agreement.
"Yes, son."
The titles used in each dynasty were different. For example, in the Song Dynasty, there were many titles for men, such as xianggong, gongzi, guanren, xiaoguanren, langjun, xiansheng, and so on. Different people had different titles.
When passing by West Avenue, there was sudden chaos on the street, a few people with disheveled hair were running around in the crowd, and behind them, a group of officials in dark uniforms were chasing them.
One of them was extremely agile. He leaped up and ran and jumped along the edge of the house next to him. He soon rushed in front of the fleeing people and knocked them down in a few moves. Then he was arrested by the officers who caught up with him from behind.
"Gu Qianfan, you are a living hell. You will not die a good death. I curse your entire family to be wiped out..."
The people who were caught shouted at the men who had just knocked them down, their tone full of resentment.
Zhou Chen, who was not far away, watched this scene with great interest. You have to know that this is the inner city of Tokyo, and the commotion just now was quite loud, but these people arrested people without any scruples.
Zhou Huai is Zhou Yan's youngest son. He was arranged by his father to serve Zhou Chen because he was very smart. Seeing Zhou Chen was interested, he immediately started to explain.
"Sir, this is the Imperial City Division arresting people. The leader is called Gu Qianfan, known as the 'Living Yama'. He is cruel and ruthless, and has a violent temperament. He is the most vicious and feared person in the Imperial City Division. However, he is the commander of the Investigation Division. Why are they arresting people in this busy street?"
Suddenly, Gu Qianfan, known as the 'living devil', turned his head sharply and looked towards where Zhou Chen and the others were.
Zhou Chen chuckled and said, "Wow, you're quite perceptive, huh?"
He was about to say a few words of praise, but the next moment, when he saw Gu Qianfan's face clearly, his expression suddenly changed.
It was not that he was shocked by Gu Qianfan's appearance, but when he saw Gu Qianfan clearly, the system that had been silent for many years suddenly reacted, which made his face change suddenly.
Without communicating with the system immediately, Zhou Chen continued to look at Gu Qianfan and had already made a judgment in his mind. According to his experience, the movement of the system at this time must mean that the task has been activated. This means that Gu Qianfan should be the key character in the film and television drama.
"interesting."
After hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zhou Huai whispered, "Young Master, are you interested in him? This Gu Qianfan is indeed a character. His grandfather was once the Minister of Personnel, a member of the Qingliu clan. Gu Qianfan was also a Jinshi, and he was from the same batch of Jinshi as you, but later he joined the Imperial City Division, which many people find strange."
"Oh, really? You are a fellow Jinshi student of mine?"
Zhou Chen was even more surprised. In his memory, he had no impression of this Gu Qianfan.
But this Gu Qianfan is really interesting. He was selected as a Jinshi, and he is still from the Qingliu line. He should have a bright future, but he entered an institution like the Imperial City Division. Once he enters the Imperial City Division, he is destined not to be accepted by Qingliu.
After all, he was a Jinshi and a nobleman, but he was not accepted by the Qingliu, let alone Gu Qianfan.
"Zhou Huai, you are quite capable. It would be a waste of your talent if you stayed in the Marquis' Mansion."
Zhou Huai replied embarrassedly: "It's not really a skill, I just usually pay more attention to the news in the city. It's my honor to be able to follow you, sir."
They father and son were in charge of the Marquis's Mansion, but they were not servants of the mansion and their status was still relatively high.
Zhou Chen smiled and while he was talking, Gu Qianfan had already left with his people. However, when he passed by Zhou Chen and his group, he looked at Zhou Chen curiously again.
"Let's go, go home."
After feeling the prosperity and bustle of the city, Zhou Chen did not stay long and went straight back home.
He was still in mourning, otherwise, he would have really planned to take a look around the Jiaofangsi. The Jiaofangsi in the Song Dynasty was very famous, and there were really many talented people there.
He has no chance now, but after the mourning period is over, he will definitely go and see it. This is an official institution, very formal. He likes to listen to music in the Jiaofangsi and he likes formal ones.
Now he still wants to know what task will be issued after the system task is activated, and which film or television world he has traveled to.
After all, it has been almost eight years since he traveled through time, and the mission has not been activated until now. This is a situation he has never encountered before.
After returning home, Zhou Chen immediately went back to his room and then connected to the consciousness communication system.
"System, open the panel."

task:
We will always be together till old age: Zhao Pan'er, you deserve it.
Side tasks:
Great talent and strategy: Recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Listening to music in brothels: Go to brothels such as the Jiaofangsi to listen to music at least a thousand times. Only one day is counted. Repeated visits are not counted.
"?????"
Countless question marks popped up in Zhou Chen’s mind. This second side quest seemed wrong no matter how he looked at it.
A thousand visits to brothels, if you count them, it would take three years to complete. The key is that he is not that kind of person. Which decent person would go to brothels every day? Do you still want to have a reputation?
"Alas, I am such a decent person, but the system is forcing me, forcing me."
He felt that the tasks issued by the system were sometimes really interesting. Compared with the task of listening to music in a brothel, the task of recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun with great talent and strategy was much more normal.
It is normal, but it is definitely dozens of times more difficult than listening to music in a brothel.
It only takes a little time to go to a brothel a thousand times to listen to music, but to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, especially in the Song Dynasty, seems hopeless.
He was still very confident in his ability to lead troops in battle. If he was given enough support and troops, he would be confident that he could recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun even if his opponent was the powerful Liao court.
But the problem is, the Song Dynasty had such a government system, such an emperor and such officials.
He couldn't see any hope at all. Even Zhao Kuangyin couldn't do it, so it was even more impossible to rely on the current emperor. Even the next Emperor Renzong had an even slimmer chance.
In the Song Dynasty, it was really a luxury for a military general to obtain the military power to attack the Liao court.
Anyway, after Zhou Chen thought about it, he felt that with the support of the Song Dynasty, this side quest would be almost impossible to complete. In order to complete it, he must control the military power. In this way, he could either dominate the government or overthrow the dynasty and start over, saving the country with his own will.
Stopping thinking about these two side quests for the time being, Zhou Chen looked at this main quest.
The main storyline of "staying together till old age" is easy to understand, which is to marry the woman named Zhao Pan'er and stay together till old age without leaving her.
Zhou Chen was very surprised, because in his opinion, this main task was easier to complete than the side tasks. After all, chasing a woman and growing old together was definitely easier than recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
However, he thought carefully about the name Zhao Pan'er.
Not impressed.
That means that this time he has traveled to a TV series or film that he has never seen, and he doesn't know what the story of this TV series or film is.
There are tens of millions of people in the vast Song Dynasty, and there is no telling how many people are named Zhao Pan'er in the world. If you want to find this person, your hope is slim if you rely on yourself alone.
I still have two plot cards. Should I use them?
After thinking for a while, Zhou Chen made a decision. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a lamb. After all, the plot cards are there to be used, and they should be used when necessary.
"System, use story cards."
The next moment, a sci-fi version of the screen appeared in front of his eyes, and he began to introduce and play the episode.
As expected, Zhao Pan'er is the heroine of this drama, and Gu Qianfan, whom he had met before, is the hero in the plot.
It took Zhou Chen three days to finish reading "Dream of the Red Chamber".
How to put it, in his opinion, this is a costume idol drama, and it is the type with a strong female lead, with handsome men and pretty women.
As for the plot, the first half is pretty good, especially the heroine's character and wisdom, which are above average, much better than the brainless heroines in many TV dramas.
But in the second half of the plot, I don’t know if it was a problem with the filming or the deletions, the IQ dropped sharply, especially the male protagonist, who seemed to have triggered a halo of reduced intelligence. In the later period, he simply had no brains, and the ending was also hastily concluded.
The drama as a whole is a bit lacking in plot, with a lot of love and romance plots. The pace is sometimes tight and sometimes dragged out. It doesn't feel like it was shot by the same director, which is quite contradictory.
Regardless of whether the heroine in the TV series is beautified, judging from her temperament, she is an intelligent woman, just as described in the main quest.
Zhao Paner, you deserve it.
After knowing what kind of person Zhao Pan'er is, Zhou Chen also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it's not those demonic women, otherwise, he really can't do it, can't say it, can't do it...
According to the TV series, the plot begins after the palace examination, which should be within one or two months. At this time, Ouyang Xu should have arrived in Tokyo or be on his way to Tokyo.
