The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Thank you for your connection, Lord Shen. I'm fine. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

As she said this, she walked past Shen Ruzhuo and wanted to leave, but Shen Ruzhuo suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, which scared her so much that she quickly shook it off.

The Solitary Moon in his hand slapped Shen Ruzhuo's arm, and Shen Ruzhuo cried out in pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Lord Shen, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it." Song Yinzhang was anxious and panicked.

Shen Ruzhuo covered his arm and cried out in pain: "Oh, my arm must be broken, Madam Song, you are too cruel."

"I didn't mean it. You were the one who started it, so I... I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it." Song Yinzhang apologized repeatedly.

"I'm already injured, is it enough for you to just say sorry? Madam Song, you are too cruel to me."

Shen Ruzhuo was actually just in pain for a bit, and there was nothing wrong with him, but he deliberately tried to take the opportunity to get close to Song Yinzhang.

Chapter 986 Gao Hui, the wife of the Gao family, and Gu Qianfan's visit

Song Yinzhang looked anxious and tried his best to get rid of Shen Ruzhuo, but Shen Ruzhuo was like a sticky plaster. He kept crying out in pain and would not let Song Yinzhang leave.

"Sir Shen, I know you are an official of the Jiaofang Department. Although I am a lowly person, you cannot bully me casually."

Shen Ruzhuo said, "Madam Song, when did I bully you? It was you who hit me."

"But I've already apologized."

"Madam Song, you've already hurt me. Is it enough to just apologize? At least you have to take me to the clinic. What if my arm is injured?"

Shen Ruzhuo pretended to be distressed, but he was actually very happy.

Ever since Song Yinzhang came to the Jiaofangsi, he had fallen in love with this pure young girl. With his level of playboy attitude, he could tell at a glance that Song Yinzhang was an inexperienced young girl, which was extremely rare in the Jiaofangsi.

In addition, Song Yinzhang was very beautiful and had a lovable temperament, so he was fascinated by Song Yinzhang at first sight.

So many days have passed, and whenever Song Yinzhang came to the Jiaofangsi, he would take the initiative to go over and show his goodwill, but Song Yinzhang has always been wary of him and is not very willing to contact him at all.

Today he saw that Song Yinzhang's condition was completely different from before, so he came here specially, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity.

But no one expected Song Yinzhang to be so sensitive. Just as he was about to take action, he was hit. But this also gave him an opportunity, so he kept pestering Shen Ruzhuo.

"I, you, I..."

Song Yinzhang was already in a bad mood today, and being harassed by Shen Ruzhuo made her mood even worse. However, because Shen Ruzhuo was an official, she didn't dare to do anything.

Just when she was at her wit's end, someone suddenly came over.

"Madam Song."

Song Yinzhang turned around and saw that it was Zhang Haohao, whom he had met once.

Zhang Haohao was also a member of the Jiaofangsi, but her status was relatively high. She was an courtesan and seldom came to the Jiaofangsi on normal days. Song Yinzhang came to the Jiaofangsi to be a coach, but he had never seen Zhang Haohao here.

However, because of Chi Yanei's matter before, Zhang Haohao had looked for Song Yinzhang, and the two met once. Although they never met again afterwards, Song Yinzhang was full of envy and admiration for Zhang Haohao, and Zhang Haohao also had a certain liking for Song Yinzhang, this simple little girl.

Women who fall into the Jiaofangsi are basically pitiful people. Zhang Haohao has also come out of the intrigue, so she feels like a junior to the simple Song Yinzhang.

She happened to come to the Jiaofangsi today, and unexpectedly ran into Song Yinzhang being harassed by Shen Ruzhuo.

Song Yinzhang had just arrived at the Jiaofangsi and didn't know what kind of person Shen Ruzhuo was, but she knew.

In the Jiaofangsi alone, there were countless girls who were harmed by Shen Ruzhuo, so she naturally couldn't bear to see Song Yinzhang fall at the hands of Shen Ruzhuo.

"Good sister."

Song Yinzhang took a step and ran to Zhang Haohao with a nervous look on his face.

Zhang Haohao smiled and bowed to Shen Ruzhuo: "Master Shen."

Shen Ruzhuo had a smile on his face, but his eyes seemed to be hiding something.

"Madam Zhang, you haven't been to the Jiaofang Office for a long time. Why are you here today?"

Zhang Haohao said with a smile: "Isn't the July performance of the Jiaofangsi going to start soon? I came here to discuss something with Madam Song. Does Lord Shen also want to see her for something?"

Shen Ruzhuo's expression stiffened a bit, but he still said calmly, "It's okay, it's okay. I just passed by and saw that Madam Song was in a bad mood, so I said a few words to her."

"Oh, is that so? Then, Lord Shen, we won't bother you any more."

Zhang Haohao bowed to Shen Ruzhuo, then quickly took Song Yinzhang away.

Looking at their departing backs, Shen Ruzhuo's face turned extremely ugly. This Zhang Haohao actually ruined his good fortune. If Zhang Haohao wasn't very famous now and was not the treasure of the Music Bureau, he would never let Zhang Haohao have an easy life.

Zhang Haohao took Song Yinzhang for a long distance before they stopped.

"Sister Song, since you call me sister, I want to remind you that Shen Ruzhuo is a playboy. You'd better not get too close to him."

Song Yinzhang whispered, "I don't want to contact him, but he always comes to me, and I don't know what to do."

"The best way is to avoid him when you see him next time."

Zhang Haohao also knew that the people should not fight against officials, especially since she knew that Song Yinzhang came from outside the area and how could he defeat a local official like Shen Ruzhuo.

Although Shen Ruzhuo was only a writer in the Music Bureau, he was still an official after all. On the other hand, they were just a group of prostitutes. Even if a conflict occurred, the Music Bureau would not take their side.

"I understand. Thank you, good sister." Song Yinzhang thanked in a low voice.

…………

In a courtyard, an elderly nanny was listening to a maid's report.

"Are you sure you are not mistaken? Is the owner of that tea shop really related to Young Master Ouyang?" the old maid asked angrily.

"It's true. I heard it from the neighbors near Master Ouyang's house. I heard that this Miss Zhao brought a group of people to Master Ouyang's house and made a scene. It seems that Master Ouyang's leaving Beijing to serve as an official had a lot to do with her."

The maid told Jiang everything she knew truthfully. This Jiang was the wet nurse of Gao Hui, the daughter of the Gao family, and the maid was her daughter.

"I knew that Ouyang Xu didn't look like an honest man. It turns out there is such a thing. He actually dared to deceive the young lady."

Jiang was burning with anger and wanted to go to Ouyang Xu to question him right away. However, when she thought about how satisfied her young lady was with Ouyang Xu, she didn't know what to do.

However, she was determined not to let the young lady know about Ouyang Xu's affair with Madam Zhao, and she would never let Madam Zhao go easily.

She was already thinking about how to deal with Madam Zhao, but before she could take any action, something unexpected happened.

Ouyang Xu had been dead for more than a month. After all, he was an eighth-rank official and was sent to Xijing by the government. According to the time, the news of his death should have almost reached Tokyo.

After it was found that Ouyang Xu's death was an accident, it was reported to the court by officials in Xijing, and then quickly passed on to Tokyo. Zhou Chen also received the news quickly.

Gaofu!

"I don't believe it. I don't believe it. How could Xu Lang die? He promised me that after going to Xijing, he would find a way to return to Tokyo as soon as possible and marry me. How could he die in Xijing? I don't believe it."

Gao Hui learned from her father Gao Hu that Ouyang Xu died in Xijing. She refused to believe it and angrily retorted.

The wet nurse Jiang who was standing nearby was also dumbfounded. She was just about to deal with Zhao Pan'er, but she didn't expect that Ouyang Xu was actually dead.

If Ouyang Xu died, then his marriage with the young lady would naturally be over, and she would have no reason to deal with Zhao Pan'er anymore.

It happened so suddenly that she didn't know how to express her feelings, but when she saw the heartbroken Gao Hui, she felt very distressed.

She served Gao Hui for more than ten years. In name she was a servant, but in fact she valued Gao Hui more than her own children and had deep feelings for this simple young lady.

Those rumors circulating outside that are unfavorable to Gao Hui actually have nothing to do with Gao Hui. They are all her doing, and the reason she did that is just because she wants Gao Hui to be happy.

Gao Hu also shouted angrily: "I really don't know what kind of magic potion that Ouyang Xu has fed you. He is a greedy person who will do anything to achieve his goals. He is not worth your sadness at all. Also, the news of Ouyang Xu's death was reported back from Xijing. It is absolutely true that Ouyang Xu is dead."

"No, no, how is it possible? He said he would come back to marry me, how could he die?" Gao Hui still didn't believe it. To be more precise, she was unwilling to accept it.

Gao Hu was upset and shouted again, "I told you, he's dead, and he had nothing to do with our Gao family before he left Beijing. Now that he's dead, he has nothing to do with us at all. Hui'er, forget about him as soon as possible. Dad will find you a good marriage."

Gao Hui said loudly: "I don't need it, I have decided on Ouyang Xu."

"But he's dead, Hui'er, listen carefully, Ouyang Xu is dead. From now on, I don't want to hear his name again. Do you understand?"

Seeing Gao Hu roaring loudly, Jiang quickly stepped forward and grabbed Gao Hui.

"Girl, the master won't lie to you. That Ouyang Xu should really be dead. Girl, cheer up."

In fact, she also looked down on Ouyang Xu. She thought that Ouyang Xu was a gloomy person, whose words and deeds were inconsistent. He was not worthy of their young lady at all, and it would be better if he died now.

Gao Hui's body suddenly went limp, but luckily Jiang was strong enough to hold her up.

"Why is it happening like that."

Obviously, she also believed that Ouyang Xu was dead, but deep down she was unwilling to accept it.

She had met Ouyang Xu many times and was very satisfied with this handsome and talented third place winner. He fit the image of her ideal husband, so she asked her aunt to help arrange a marriage for them.

Gao Hu then spoke up, "A few days ago, I heard that Meng Wei wanted to find a marriage for his nephew. I think it's just right. The Loyal and Brave Marquis is a hereditary marquis, and he is also a famous young general and hero in our Song Dynasty. He is much better than Ouyang Xu. If you can marry him, it will be the best destination for you."

But Gao Hui was in no mood to think about these things at this time, and shouted: "I don't want it."

"It's not your turn to decide whether to get married or not. It's your parents' order and the matchmaker's words. Your marriage is decided by me, your father."

Gao Hu roared angrily, then left in anger. He had been dissatisfied with Ouyang Xu in the first place, especially when Ouyang Xu later used the theory of ghosts and gods to get promoted, he looked down on him even more. Now that Ouyang Xu was dead, it was exactly what he wanted.

Looking at the many powerful families in Tokyo, there are many who can match with his daughter, but he doesn't like the ordinary ones. In his opinion, the most suitable one is the Loyal and Brave Marquis who is in the limelight recently.

Although their Gao family now has a good status in the capital thanks to the power of Concubine Gao, there is still a gap in foundation compared with the noble families like the Loyal and Brave Marquis Mansion.

His official position is also a military position, so if they can marry into the Loyalty and Brave Marquis's Mansion, the position of their Gao family will be more stable.

But what he was worried about now was that the loyal and brave marquis would look down on his daughter. After all, his daughter's marriage to Ouyang Xu had already been spread.

Even though Ouyang Xu is dead now and they have not gotten married, for someone like Zhou Chen, it would probably not be easy to accept.

Back in her boudoir, Gao Hui was still crying. Jiang and her daughter, who was Gao Hui's maid, were trying to persuade her.

"Miss, I think what the master said makes sense. Master Ouyang is dead. The loyal and brave marquis who is famous all over the world is the right match for you, young lady."

People always look up. As Gao Hui's closest wet nurse, Jiang certainly hopes that Gao Hui can marry well. Ouyang Xu is not worthy of carrying shoes for Marquis Zhongyong.

"Nanny."

Gao Hui was very dissatisfied. She was still immersed in the pain of Ouyang Xu's death and had no energy to think about other people's affairs.

"Ugh."

Jiang sighed quietly. She knew Gao Hui's personality best, so she stopped trying to persuade her and just kept saying nice things to comfort her.

Zhao Pan'er wanted to make the half-covered face show even better, so she thought of a way and prepared to ask Zhang Haohao, a famous courtesan in the capital, to help them promote it.

Zhang Haohao just happened to need Song Yinzhang, so she and Zhao Paner, who came to her, hit it off and agreed to cooperate.

Zhang Haohao was responsible for promoting Half-Mask, while Song Yinzhang was to perform with Zhang Haohao to prepare for the upcoming big performance.

Zhou Chen was on duty at the Cavalry Division of the Imperial Guard, one of the Three Yamen, when his men suddenly came to report.

"My Lord, the Deputy Envoy of the Imperial City Department, Gu Qianfan, is here and wants to see you."

Although Zhou Chen is now the deputy commander-in-chief, his subordinates usually respectfully call him Marquis.

"Gu Qianfan? Why is he here? Let him come over."

Zhou Chen found it strange. Although both the Imperial City Bureau and the Imperial Guards had the duty of guarding the palace, they were in charge of different positions and only had occasional contact.

Anyway, this is the first time that Gu Qianfan has come to his office to see him since he took office.

After a while, Gu Qianfan was brought in, and he only brought one subordinate with him.

"Gu Qianfan pays respect to the Marquis."

Although Gu Qianfan is now a deputy commander of the fifth rank, his rank is obviously far from enough in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "What kind of wind is this today? It actually blew Deputy Envoy Gu here."

Gu Qianfan said, "My Lord, you are joking. I wonder if you can talk to me alone?"

Zhou Chen nodded, then waved to the men around him. Those men and the man brought by Gu Qianfan all left the room, leaving only Zhou Chen and Gu Qianfan.

"Now that we're alone, tell me, what's going on? I know you're busy with the Hat Monster case. You must be very busy. You wouldn't come here to see me for no reason."

Zhou Chen had naturally heard about the recent uproar in Tokyo about the hat monster case, but their imperial guards were not responsible for such matters.

He also had some guesses about the Hat Monster case, thinking it was targeting the Queen and her followers.

Since ancient times, it has been said that when a country is about to fall into chaos, evil spirits will appear.

The rear party is now in power in the court, and Xiao Qinyan is about to be appointed prime minister. Some people don't want to see this happen, but they can't stop it, so they can only resort to this rather despicable method.

Don't you, the emperor, believe in Taoism? Then use the theory of ghosts and gods to deal with the party behind the scenes. As long as the momentum grows bigger and bigger, they will have an excuse to deal with the party behind the scenes in the court.

In fact, there is also a case of the hat monster in the official history, and many people believe that there was a conspiracy behind it, which was intended to allow Emperor Zhenzong to appoint a crown prince as soon as possible and to crack down on the powerful Empress Liu.

The hat monster case in Meng Hua Lu was obviously a fake one, but all the accusations were directed at the queen. Although it was unknown who was the mastermind behind the scenes, it was undoubtedly the political enemy of the queen's party.
