The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Is the Gao family famous in Tokyo? Even the Marquis knows the daughter of the Gao family."

Zhao Pan'er was very curious because, generally speaking, the women of those big families rarely showed up in public, and they would not easily tell their maiden names to strange men.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "The reason why I know Gao Hui is because my father knows Gao Guancha. At the beginning, they wanted to match me with Gao Hui, but I rejected them."

One of the portraits that Lord Zhou gave him was of Gao Hui.

"what?"

Zhao Pan'er didn't expect that such a situation would happen, and looked at Zhou Chen in astonishment.

"Don't look at me like that. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. I've never met Gao Hui, but I think she's definitely not as good as Madam Zhao."

"The introduction is calling me, Lord Hou, I'll go there first."

Looking at Zhao Paner who was fleeing in panic, Zhou Chen showed a smile. He brought Zhao Paner with him just to maintain their relationship. This was a good start.

But after a while, Zhao Pan'er suddenly turned back.

"Oh, I forgot one thing. Before I boarded the ship, I found a warrant for arrest. The wanted person is the commander of the Imperial City Department. I thought you might be concerned about this."

"Oh, I already know about this matter. He will be fine."

Gu Qianfan is the male protagonist of Meng Hualu. Although his appearance has ended the fate between him and Zhao Pan'er, he is still the male protagonist after all, and he has a biological father, Xiao Qinyan, so Zhou Chen is not worried about Gu Qianfan's safety at all.

Speaking of father and son Gu Qianfan and Xiao Qinyan, Zhou Chen also felt a little ridiculous.

Xiao Qinyan is a member of the imperial court, with a high position and authority, yet few people in the world know that he is Gu Qianfan's biological father, which is really ridiculous.

When Xiao Qinyan married the daughter of the Gu family, he had already passed the imperial examination and was a well-known family in Tokyo. How could no one know about their marriage?

Not to mention, when they broke up, Gu Qianfan was already quite old, and they had lived together for so many years, how could no one know about this?

It is no exaggeration to say that this is a huge bug that cannot be worked around.

But anyway, it is normal for TV dramas to have bugs. Which TV drama doesn’t have a few bugs? It’s just the difference between obvious and not obvious.

And the relationship between Gu Qianfan and Xiao Qinyan is really too buggy. Is it true that the intelligence ability of the ancients was so poor?

The Song Dynasty was an ancient feudal society, and transportation was not as developed as it is today. Traveling by water was obviously much faster than by land.

Before boarding the boat, Song Yinzhang even approached Zhou Chen specifically, saying that in order to repay Zhou Chen, he would play music for Zhou Chen.

But after getting on the boat, she started to feel dizzy before she could even start playing the piano. Zhao Pan'er and Yinping took turns taking care of her, but she still hasn't recovered.

Zhou Chen also took a look and found that there was no problem. Song Yinzhang was seasick because his physique was too weak.

Arriving at Zhao Paner and the others’ room in the cabin, Zhou Chen knocked on the door gently.

"Miss Zhao."

Zhao Paner opened the door and walked out. Seeing Zhou Chen, she asked in surprise, "My Lord, why are you here?"

Zhou Chen handed the porcelain bowl to Zhao Pan'er: "This is the medicine I asked someone to make. Give it to Madam Song to drink. It should make her feel better."

Zhao Pan'er was even more surprised: "How can we..."

"Okay, don't talk so much, take it to her to drink."

Zhou Chen didn't give Zhao Pan'er a chance to refuse and walked straight out of the cabin.

They set out from Qiantang around noon, and by evening, they had passed Hangzhou and arrived in Huzhou.

Zhou Chen was not sleepy, so he stood at the stern, looking at the sky quietly.

Compared to several years later, there were not so many chemical industries in this era, and the air pollution was less. As long as it was not cloudy or rainy, there would be many stars at night. Unlike later generations, sometimes on a normal sunny day, you could not see many stars at night.

The ancient astrologers would probably be dumbfounded a thousand years later.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Zhou Chen knew it was Zhao Paner as soon as he heard it. He was very familiar with Zhao Paner's voice and smell.

While his physique was enhanced, his five senses were also greatly improved. His sense of smell and hearing were not as sharp as a dog's, but they were many times stronger than a normal human.

"Has Madam Song already taken the medicine?"

"I drank it. Yin Zhang felt much better after drinking the medicine. Thank you, my Lord."

Zhao Pan'er was grateful from the bottom of her heart. Zhou Chen was just a casual acquaintance of theirs, but he helped them so much without any reward. Moreover, as a marquis, he was not arrogant at all. He was truly a rare good man.

If Zhou Chen knew that Zhao Pan'er had given him a good guy card, he would definitely cry out in injustice. He is not a good guy. Everything he did was based on his own little thoughts and it cannot be considered free help.

"We are friends anyway, don't always be so polite."

Zhao Pan'er pursed her lips and said, "The Marquis Meng values ​​it, but you are a Marquis, and the daughter of the people is a commoner, so she dare not climb high."

Zhou Chen pretended to be unhappy and said, "I make friends without asking where they come from or their backgrounds. Besides, you are even more special to me. If you say this again in the future, I will be very unhappy."

Zhao Pan'er opened her mouth, not knowing what to say. Of course she didn't dare to offend Zhou Chen, but she couldn't become friends with Zhou Chen as equals.

"I'm sorry, my Lord."

"Okay, let's not talk about this. I want to ask you a question."

"Master Marquis, please tell me."

"Have you ever thought about the future when you go to Tokyo? If Ouyang Xu is really unfaithful and wants to marry Gao Hui, what will you do? Are you ready to risk everything and ruin their marriage, turning the world upside down? Or do you accept your fate, sever ties with Ouyang Xu, never have any contact with him again, and then quietly leave Tokyo?"

This stumped Zhao Pan'er, and she thought about it again and again.

"I don't know. I don't want to think about it now. I'll talk about it after I get to Tokyo."

Zhou Chen said: "If you still haven't made up your mind by then, I can help you stay in Tokyo."

"Thank you."

Suddenly, there were bursts of discussions coming from the bow, and Zhou Huai walked over quickly.

"My Lord, it seems someone has fallen into the water ahead. Zhang Heng, Xue Wu and others have gone down to rescue them."

"Someone fell into the water?"

Zhou Chen immediately showed a surprised expression. No way, is this such a coincidence?

In the TV drama, Zhao Pan'er and Gu Qianfan met Sun Sanniang who committed suicide by jumping into the river on their way to Tokyo. But this time they left early, so how could they meet her again?

Out of curiosity, Zhou Chen and Zhao Paner went to the bow of the ship together.

When they arrived, they saw Zhang Heng and Xue Wu pulling a woman in the water towards the boat.

Everyone gathered at the bow, helped each other, and quickly pulled everyone up.

Zhou Huai's eyes were bright. He had already seen the face before the person came up, and exclaimed: "Oh, isn't this Madam Sun?"

He and Zhou Chen had been to Zhao's Tea Shop many times and had seen Sun Sanniang many times, so he recognized her at a glance.

Zhao Pan'er, who had not paid much attention to it, was shocked when she heard Zhou Huai's exclamation and rushed over

"Sanniang, it's really Sanniang."

When she saw that it was really Sun Sanniang, Zhao Pan'er was extremely excited, but Sun Sanniang was obviously unconscious and unable to respond to her.

Zhou Chen walked over, squatted down to take a look, then helped Sun Sanniang sit up, used his internal strength, and patted her on the body.

"Cough cough, cough cough..."

Sun Sanniang vomited several times and then fell down again.

"It's nothing serious. Zhang Heng, get her into the cabin first. Madam Zhao, change her clothes."

"it is good."

Without further ado, Zhang Heng carried Sun Sanniang on his back, followed by Zhao Pan'er.

Zhou Chen looked up at the sky, his heart calm. Having traveled through time many times, he had become very resistant to this kind of plot change.

Now Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Meng Hualu's three daughters are together again. It seems that it is God's will that they want to go to Tokyo together.

The next morning, Zhou Chen learned about Sun Sanniang from Zhao Pan'er. It was no different from the plot in a TV drama: her husband cheated on her and she was a widow, and her son was adopted. What's worse, neither her husband nor her son wanted her and abandoned her, so she became so depressed that she committed suicide by jumping into the river.

Soon after Sun Sanniang woke up, she first complained to Zhao Pan'er and the others, then started to go crazy again, trying to commit suicide, and finally fainted again due to excessive mental exhaustion.

Another day passed, and Zhao Paner found Zhou Chen.

"My Lord, Sanniang is in a very bad condition and is getting weaker and weaker. This won't work."

Zhou Chen said: "She doesn't actually have any physical illness, she has a psychological problem, but if the psychological problem can't be solved, it will really cause great harm to the body."

"Not only Sanniang, but also Yinzhang. She is also seasick and vomited just now. I don't think this is a good idea. I want to take them off the ship and wait until they recover before going to Tokyo."

Zhao Pan'er hesitated for a while, but still told her plan.

"You want to get off the boat?" Zhou Chen was very surprised.

Zhao Pan'er nodded and said, "Yes, Sanniang has always taken good care of me. I can't just watch her suffer. And Yinzhang, she really can't keep taking the boat. Although I really want to go to Tokyo immediately, I can't just leave them alone. So I thought about waiting for them to recover first, and then rush to Tokyo by land. Calculating the time, we should be able to arrive before Grain Rain."

"Have you really decided?"

"Yes."

Zhou Chen thought about it and didn't object. He also saw Song Yinzhang's situation. Although it was not dangerous, it was indeed quite torturous.

He was also quite confused. In the TV drama, Song Yinzhang also left Qiantang by boat. Did he also faint along the way?

However, for Zhou Chen, time was already very tight. He was already preparing to speed up the ship so that it could reach Tokyo before Qingming Festival. Naturally, it was impossible for him to stop the ship to rest for Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang.

Zhao Pan'er is his mission target, but that doesn't mean that everything he does has to revolve around Zhao Pan'er. He also has his own things to do.

"I have no objection to you taking them off the ship, but before we left Qiantang, I promised you that I would take you to Tokyo. I have something important to deal with now and cannot delay. I asked Zhang Heng and Xue Wu to stay and take care of you. When you recover, they will arrange for you to rush to Tokyo by land."

Zhao Pan'er quickly declined, "No, don't bother, we can do it ourselves."

"No trouble. I am a man of my words. If I say I will send you to Tokyo safely, I will definitely do it. Let Zhang Heng and Xue Wu accompany you, so that I can rest assured."

Although it was impossible for him to follow Zhao Pan'er all the time, Zhao Pan'er's safety still had to be guaranteed. Although they had walked for some distance, they were still hundreds of miles away from Tokyo. For four weak women, who knows what problems might arise if they walked such a long distance, so it was necessary to arrange someone to protect them.

Zhao Pan'er didn't want to trouble Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen's attitude was very firm. In the end, he said that since he had received the money, he had to get things done.

In the end, Zhao Pan'er couldn't persuade Zhou Chen any more and had to agree to Zhou Chen's arrangement.

At the next port, Zhao Pan'er took Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang and others off the boat. Zhang Heng and Xue Wu followed Zhao Pan'er on Zhou Chen's orders.

Zhou Chen took Qin Yi, Zhou Huai and Jin Huan back to Beijing by boat. Without having to worry about Zhao Pan'er and the other girls, the boat speed increased immediately.

On the day before Qingming Festival, Zhou Chen and his team finally arrived in Tokyo.

"My Lord, you are finally back. I was worried that you wouldn't be back before Qingming Festival."

Zhou Yan greeted him at the main gate and followed Zhou Chen to the central hall.

Zhou Chen sat down in the hall with great determination, drank a sip of water, and then asked, "I have been away from Tokyo for more than a month. Nothing has happened in the mansion, right?"

"There's nothing going on in the mansion. Only the two cousins ​​came to see the Marquis. No one from the court came." Zhou Yan replied.

"Okay, I get it. I'm glad you're alright. Have you prepared everything you need for Qingming?"

"Everything is ready."

"Well, I'm going to go to the ancestral hall first, you go ahead and do your work."

After Zhou Chen finished asking questions, he went to the ancestral hall behind the marquis' mansion alone.

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 973: The plagiarist appears, Zhao Paner is heartbroken

Zhou's Ancestral Hall.

Zhou Chen respectfully lit a few sticks of incense. In modern society, ancestral halls like this one are almost uncommon.

Not to mention the ancestral hall, even if it is a family tree, it is estimated that only a few families have it. Even after a generation, it is estimated that no one will visit the graves. The concept of family has become very, very weak.

Unlike this period, even poor families would attach importance to inheritance.

Of course, this also leads to a problem: preference for boys over girls.

Because in ancient times, men were regarded as the inheritance. Only when there were men in the family could the family be passed on, or a son-in-law could be recruited.

After burning incense, Zhou Chen wiped the spirit tablet clean with a cloth and put them in order one by one.

Only after doing all this did he leave the ancestral hall.

In the next few days, he visited several uncles in Tokyo, only to find out that the two cousins ​​who had come to see him before had been sent out to serve as officials.

The last time I went to see him, I wanted to see him before leaving, but unfortunately he was not there, so I didn't see him.

Zhou Chen was also impressed by the strength of the Meng family. They are now three generations old, and there are dozens of males alone. Although many of them have separated, they still look out for each other, and their momentum is amazing.
