The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Sister Pan'er, you haven't let me down. I know you feel worse than me right now."

The two miserable sisters hugged each other and shed tears sadly, which made Yinping, who was standing beside them, unable to help but think of her own miserable life experience and burst into tears.

So when Sun Sanniang came over, she saw the three women crying and holding their heads, and her mind was full of questions.

After she asked, she found out that Zhao Pan'er was going to Tokyo. She was quite surprised and admired Zhao Pan'er's decision.

After listening to Zhao Paner's explanation, she decided to support Zhao Paner.

In the evening, Zhao Paner brought Song Yinzhang to Zhou Chen's residence.

"Madam Zhao, Madam Song, why are you here? Have you packed everything?"

When Zhou Chen saw Zhao Pan'er bringing Song Yinzhang to see him, he already had some guesses in his mind. They had agreed to leave the day after tomorrow, and Zhao Pan'er came to see him at this time, most likely for Song Yinzhang.

Zhao Pan'er glanced at Song Yinzhang and said to Zhou Chen, "My Lord, I want to ask you for help with something."

Zhou Chen asked, "Is it for Madam Song?"

Zhao Pan'er didn't expect Zhou Chen to react so quickly and guess her purpose at once.

"Yes, I once promised Yin Zhang that I would help her get rid of her citizenship when Ouyang Xu became an official, but now... My Lord, you are a noble marquis of the imperial court, and you hold a high position. I want to ask you, is there any way to help Yin Zhang get rid of her citizenship?"

Facing the expectant eyes of Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang, Zhou Chen said slowly: "To be honest, if it was in Tokyo, this matter would not be difficult for me, but in Qiantang, ah, let me ask for you first."

Zhao Pan'er showed joy on her face and pulled Song Yinzhang to kneel in front of Zhou Chen.

"My Lord, we have no way to repay your kindness. If you can really help Yin Zhang escape from slavery, I am willing to give away all my savings."

Song Yinzhang also said excitedly: "I am also willing to donate all the money. I have made a lot of money over the years. As long as the Marquis can help me get rid of my status, I will give all the money to the Marquis."

Compared with the temptation of leaving his citizenship, money is far less attractive to Song Yinzhang.

Zhou Chen said: "It's too early to talk about this now, let me ask about the situation first."

At this time, Qin Yi, who was standing next to him, suddenly whispered: "My Lord, if this happens, we may be delayed in returning to Tokyo. If we can't get to Tokyo before Qingming Festival, then..."

Zhou Chen waved his hand: "It's okay, it won't take long, at most we can just speed up when we take the boat."

Qin Yi moved his mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. However, the look he gave Zhao Pan'er became different.

Now he completely believed Zhou Huai's words. The Marquis was probably really attracted to this Madam Zhao, and this Madam Zhao might very well become the mistress of the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

He came from the army and didn't know so many twists and turns. Although he felt that Zhao Pan'er was not worthy of the Marquis, as a subordinate, he would only support it if it was the Marquis's choice.

It is indeed not easy to help Song Yinzhang to get rid of his citizenship in Qiantang, mainly because it wastes time. Therefore, Zhou Chen plans to follow the method of the prefect in the TV series and transfer Song Yinzhang to Tokyo first. Once in Tokyo, it will be very simple to help Song Yinzhang get rid of his citizenship.

However, he was not prepared to do this in his own capacity. After all, he was in mourning period. If the news came out that she had something going on with the prostitutes in the Music Bureau, it would give people something to talk about.

Fortunately, when he left Tokyo, he had already asked his powerful uncle for a token. With the strength of the Meng family, even the prefect of Hangzhou would definitely give him this face.

So, he borrowed Meng's name, met the prefect of Hangzhou, and told him about the matter.

When he heard that it was just a small matter about a prostitute and that she was only seconded to Tokyo, the prefect of Hangzhou agreed without hesitation.

Zhou Chen was very surprised that things were done so easily. It seemed that he had underestimated the power of the Meng family in the Song Dynasty.

Perhaps if he exposed his identity, the governor of Hangzhou might give him face, but obviously no one would give him more face than the Meng family.

The title of Young General of the Song Dynasty sounds good, but compared with the Meng family, there is still a big gap, and it is even far inferior to the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

When they learned from Zhou Chen that things had been done, Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang were both very excited.

"Because of some circumstances, I couldn't reveal my identity, so I used other methods. I couldn't help Mrs. Song get rid of her citizenship in Hangzhou. When I arrived in Tokyo, Mrs. Song transferred her registration to the Tokyo Jiaofang Division. After a while, I can To help you get out of citizenship, you may have to wait a few months."

Song Yinzhang's eyes lit up, and he knelt down in front of Zhou Chen, staring at him without blinking: "Lord Zhou, thank you, I have waited for so many years, I don't mind waiting a few more months, as long as I can be freed from slavery, I will definitely repay you even if I have to become a slave."

"Being a slave is fine, but you left your citizenship just to live a normal life, how can you be a slave again?"

Zhou Chen just smiled. He helped Song Yinzhang more out of Zhao Paner's sake and to win her favor.

Of course, Song Yinzhang is also a little beauty and a master of the pipa. It would be pleasing to the eye if she could stay by my side.

But all this is a matter of the future. His main target now is Zhao Paner, and conquering Zhao Paner is the top priority.

Zhao Pan'er was also extremely grateful to Zhou Chen. Both girls took out their own savings and wanted to give them to Zhou Chen to express their gratitude.

Zhou Chen refused several times but failed, so he accepted it for the time being, and then said: "How about this, I will keep these things for now, and when you need them in Tokyo, I will give them to you."

Of course, these are not all that Zhao Pan'er and her two daughters have, because this is all cash. They also have many shops and properties, which cannot be converted into cash in a short period of time.

Chapter 972: Going to Tokyo together, but separated halfway

Going to Tokyo brought completely different moods to Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang.

Zhao Pan'er was heartbroken and wanted to go to Tokyo to find Ouyang Xu to find out whether what Uncle De said was true.

In the final analysis, it is the kind of mentality that even if you have to die, you must die completely.

But Song Yinzhang was different. She was emotionally frustrated, but after learning that she could accompany sister Pan'er to Tokyo, and that Zhou Chen would help her to get rid of her citizenship after arriving in Tokyo, her mood suddenly improved, and everything before her eyes seemed no longer dark, but bright.

Both of them are satisfied, but Yin Ping, Song Yinzhang's servant girl, has a troubled expression on her face.

"Miss, Madam Zhao, what should I do if you all go to Tokyo?"

Song Yinzhang was stunned for a moment, then he said, "Yinping, you are different from me. I can't redeem myself before I'm thirty-five, but you can. I can redeem you with money and give you freedom. You can do whatever you want in the future."

Yinping had served her for many years with all her heart, so she was very grateful and willing to redeem Yinping.

Although they were both in the Jiaofangsi, Yinping's contract was different from hers. She was a government prostitute and had not reached the age limit, so she was not allowed to be free and could not redeem herself with money.

The contract for the silver bottle was a slave contract, and it could be redeemed with money.

When she learned that she could redeem herself, Yinping did not show much happiness.

"Girl, my parents sold me to human traffickers when I was young. I don't know where they went. If I were free, I wouldn't know where to go, let alone what to do."

The main reason is that she has been serving Song Yinzhang for all these years and has already developed a habit. If she suddenly becomes free, she will feel a huge gap and won't know where to go.

"You can get married. You are very beautiful and you will definitely marry into a good family."

"But who would be willing to marry a maid from the Jiaofang Bureau? If she is to become someone else's concubine, she might as well continue to serve the girl."

At this point, Yin Ping's eyes suddenly lit up: "Miss, why don't you let me continue to follow you, Madam Zhao, I can do everything, I can serve you and the young lady, I can do anything, as long as I follow you."

"this?"

Song Yinzhang was somewhat tempted. To be honest, she was used to Yinping always serving her. If Yinping was suddenly gone, she really wouldn't be able to adapt.

Zhao Pan'er frowned and said, "But it may not be a good thing for us to go to Tokyo. You will definitely suffer if you follow us."

But Yin Ping said: "I'm not afraid of suffering, Mrs. Zhao and Miss are capable people, it's my good fortune to be able to serve you, I am willing to follow you."

"Sister Pan'er, how about we take the silver bottle with us?"

"But this time we go to Tokyo, we also rely on Zhou Houye, and now we bring another person, I don't know if it will be troublesome."

Song Yinzhang volunteered, "Then I will go find Lord Zhou. I think Lord Zhou is really good. I have never seen an official as good as him. And I see that he doesn't have any maids to serve him. Yinping is the best at serving people."

Yinping's eyes lit up. Although they were all servants, if she had the opportunity to serve the Marquis, it would be a good thing that many people would never even think of.

"Well, I'll go and tell you."

For some reason, Zhao Pan'er didn't want Song Yinzhang to go to Zhou Chen alone. Song Yinzhang was too naive, and it would be bad if he said something wrong.

"Yin Zhang, go find Sanniang and tell her that we are going to Tokyo and ask her to take good care of herself. If we can settle down in Tokyo, write to her."

In Qiantang, Zhao Pan'er didn't have many acquaintances. Sun Sanniang was her best friend. Now that she was leaving, the person she was most reluctant to leave was Sun Sanniang.

So, the two of them acted separately, Zhao Pan'er went to find Zhou Chen, and Song Yinzhang went to find Sun Sanniang.

For Zhou Chen, bringing one more maid was no big deal, so he agreed immediately, but trouble arose with Sun Sanniang.

"Sister Pan'er, I heard someone say that something happened to Sister Sanniang. Her husband wanted to give her son to someone else for adoption, and Sister Sanniang made a scene. Her husband divorced her, and Sister Sanniang was too embarrassed to see anyone. I heard someone said she ran back to her parents' home."

"what?"

When Zhao Pan'er heard this, she was stunned.

What is this thing called?

First it was Song Yinzhang, then her, and now it’s Sun Sanniang’s turn?

What on earth did these three sisters do to deserve being hurt by men one after another? Is there any justice in this world?

"There's no one left in Sanniang's family. No, I have to go find Sanniang."

Song Yinzhang quickly grabbed Zhao Pan'er and said, "Sister Pan'er, it's too late for you to go look for Sanniang now. We are going to Tokyo with Lord Zhou tomorrow. Besides, do you know where Sanniang's hometown is?"

Zhao Pan'er was stunned: "I only know that Sanniang's hometown is in a village in Deqing, but I don't know which village it is."

She and Sun Sanniang were good friends, but when they met, Sun Sanniang had already married and moved to Qiantang and had children. When they were together, they rarely talked about their hometowns, so she only knew that Sun Sanniang's hometown was in Deqing, but she didn't know the exact location.

"Really? You don't even know where Sister Sanniang's hometown is. How can you find her?"

"We can't just ignore Sanniang. She has helped me a lot over the years. Now that she's in trouble, we can't help but help her."

Zhao Pan'er still couldn't bear to give up this sisterhood.

"Then wait until we go to Tokyo and then look for Sister Sanniang after we come back." Song Yinzhang said.

Zhao Pan'er thought about it for a long time, but finally had to give up. It would take more than a few days to find Sun Sanniang without knowing the location of her hometown. It might take ten days or half a month to find her.

If she stayed, she would not be able to arrive in Tokyo before Grain Rain. After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, she decided to solve her own problem first and then come back to find Sun Sanniang.

"What sins did the three of us commit to end up like this?"

Zhao Pan'er is not the kind of person who complains about everything, but the series of unexpected events in recent days have really overwhelmed her.

There was still one day left, so they went to the Music Bureau first to redeem Yin Ping's indenture contract. With the transfer order from the prefect of Hangzhou, how could the people from the Music Bureau dare not disobey?

…………

The next day, Zhou Huai and Zhang Heng came together to help Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang get their things, but they found that there was actually nothing there.

Zhao Pan'er only carried one package, and Song Yinzhang only carried his beloved pipa and the silver bottle. He carried two packages, but they were all clothes and money. Even without the help of Zhou Huai, the three of them could move freely.

This is a medium-sized ship, but it has been chartered by Zhou Chen and his team, so apart from the people on the ship, there are only Zhou Chen and his team of passengers.

As the ship slowly sailed away from Qiantang's dock, Zhao Pan'er stood at the stern, looking at the land that was getting farther and farther away with complicated eyes.

"Why, you're reluctant?"

Zhao Pan'er looked at Zhou Chen who was walking beside her and said, "I am a little reluctant to leave. I have lived here for many years and thought I would live here forever. Who knew..."

In fact, she really likes Qiantang. Opening a teahouse here is simple and comfortable. It is the life she has always longed for during the years she worked in the Jiaofangsi.

"Life is not as good as it seems, nine times out of ten, and no one knows what will happen in the future. But I admire you very much. A woman who goes to Tokyo just because she wants to. Even many men don't have your courage."

Zhou Chen sighed and said that in this era, Zhao Pan'er was indeed different from others.

Most normal women, if faced with a situation like Zhao Pan'er's, would complain to themselves and endure it silently.

People like Zhao Pan'er, who would travel thousands of miles and face numerous difficulties just to seek an explanation, are really rare.

After all, this was ancient times. Not to mention the capital Tokyo, which was thousands of miles away, even leaving a county or crossing a state was not easy and could very likely put one's life in danger.

"Your Excellency is too kind. If you hadn't been willing to help me, I wouldn't have been able to do this."

"Then let me ask, if I don't help you, will you go to Tokyo alone?"

"Yes." Zhao Pan'er replied without hesitation.

"That's it. If you don't mind, can you tell me what happened? I only heard from Madam Song that your engagement was abandoned. What exactly happened? I have some abilities in Tokyo, so maybe I can help you."

Zhao Paner hesitated for a while, and then told Zhou Chen what happened between her and Ouyang Xu.

After listening to Zhao Pan'er's narration, Zhou Chen couldn't help but curse: "This Ouyang Xu is really shameless. For the sake of glory and wealth, he actually did such a thing. If it were me, let alone Gao Hui, even if it was the princess, I wouldn't even look at her. I would definitely choose you."

"Cough, cough, cough."

Zhao Paner quickly pretended to cough to cover up her embarrassment, and couldn't help but glance at Zhou Chen.

"Master Hou, stop making fun of women."

Zhou Chen looked at her very seriously: "I'm not joking."

"I……"

Faced with Zhou Chen's burning gaze, Zhao Pan'er suddenly panicked and quickly changed the subject.

"My Lord, the Gao Hui you just mentioned, could it be the daughter of the Gao Observer that Uncle De mentioned?"

"Well, it's her."
