Zhao Pan'er looked at Zhou Chen who stayed in his room and couldn't even get up in bed, with helplessness and shyness on his face, and complained in his mouth.
"How can you be like this? This is my room."
Zhou Chen was lying on the bed, his hands supporting his head, and he said with a smile: "I know, it's not like I haven't stayed here before. I missed you so late at night, so I came here. Now I'm drunk. Do you want me to walk so far back to the mansion alone? Aren't you worried?"
Zhao Paner rolled her eyes. No one would believe this, but she still felt soft-hearted and did not refuse.
"You can stay and rest, but you are not allowed to mess around."
"Messing around, what do you mean? I was just sleeping." Zhou Chen asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Just pretend."
Zhou Chen chuckled, then pulled Zhao Pan'er to his side and let Zhao Pan'er lie beside him. Zhao Pan'er was so scared that her body froze.
"Pan'er, don't be nervous. Although I'm not a gentleman, I'm not that impatient. If I really wanted to, I would have eaten you long ago."
Zhao Pan'er looked shy and said, "You're still talking." But she also relaxed.
What Zhou Chen said was right, they had already confirmed their relationship a long time ago. If Zhou Chen really wanted her, she would most likely not refuse if she asked herself.
"My Lord, I'm sorry, I still want to wait until that day."
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "I understand, so I won't force you. Let's save the best for the best night. I'm willing to wait."
"My lord, thank you for being so kind to me." Zhao Pan'er said emotionally.
"I treat you well for a purpose. You will be the eldest lady of my Loyal and Brave Marquis' Mansion from now on. You will have to manage the mansion for me, worry about the etiquette between colleagues, and even deal with the Queen and the ladies in the palace. This is not an easy task, but I believe that these are not difficult for you, Pan'er."
Zhao Pan'er's expression changed slightly after hearing Zhou Chen's words, but she still replied with determination: "As long as the Marquis trusts me, I will definitely help the Marquis deal with these matters and will not let the Marquis worry about the trivial matters in the backyard."
Since ancient times, it has always been the man who dominates the outside and the woman who dominates the inside. Although Zhao Pan'er has never been married, she also knows the responsibilities of a woman, so if she becomes Zhou Chen's wife, these are what she should do, so instead of I will shirk, but I am confident that I can do it well.
Zhou Chen gently scratched Zhao Paner's nose and said softly, "I believe you, Paner."
As she was speaking, Zhao Pan'er suddenly blushed and screamed, "My Lord..."
Zhou Chen calmly retracted his hand: "Oh, I don't know what happened, this hand is a little out of control, Pan'er, don't worry."
Zhao Paner rolled her eyes again: "You just know how to bully me."
"You are my wife. If I don't bully you, who else can I bully?" Zhou Chen said righteously.
Zhao Paner rested her head on Zhou Chen's chest, hugged Zhou Chen with both hands, with a happy smile on her face.
The two of them fell asleep in each other's arms and soon fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Chen suddenly opened his eyes. He did not disturb Zhao Pan'er beside him, but gently moved her away. Then he got up from the bed and walked to the window.
The windows were closed, but the wind outside was howling so hard that the doors and windows were shaking constantly.
"Bang, bang, boom, boom..."
"My Lord, what's going on outside?"
Zhao Paner was also awakened by the sound. She got up from the bed, walked to Zhou Chen's side, and asked nervously.
Zhou Chen held her hand and said softly, "It's okay. The wind is blowing. There should be a big storm."
He has lived for many years and has seen too many climates. He cannot be said to be a professional meteorologist, but he can roughly judge the changes in the weather.
The wind came quickly and urgently. Obviously, this was a typhoon of not low level, but it was unknown how severe it would be.
"A storm?"
Zhao Pan'er breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. It was not a big deal if it was just a storm, as she had seen it before. Now they were in the room and there was no need to worry about anything.
Zhou Chen said with a heavy face: "This is not an ordinary storm. If it continues like this, it is likely to be a huge natural disaster. I wonder how many people will get hurt in such weather."
He remembered the scene in the TV drama, where a huge storm destroyed the half-covered clothes of Zhao Paner and the others. Finally, Zhao Paner thought of expanding the scale and running a restaurant.
According to the description in the plot, it was indeed a huge disaster. Although there was no description of casualties, it is estimated that there must have been a large number of deaths and disaster victims.
Even nice teahouse buildings like Ban Zaimian were destroyed in the storm, not to mention other residential buildings.
If this is the case inside Tokyo, then the towns and villages outside the city must have been hit even harder.
Zhou Chen is not a saint who is compassionate to the world, but when he thinks about the countless people who will suffer because of this natural disaster, his heart becomes extremely heavy and depressed.
In the face of nature, human power is too fragile.
"Will it be that serious?"
Zhao Pan'er was surprised. She didn't quite understand what Zhou Chen said, but looking at his expression, she knew that the storm must be very serious.
"I hope it's not that serious."
Although Zhou Chen said this, he was not optimistic in his heart.
I propped up the window and looked outside the yard. At first, the wind was just very strong, but soon, it was accompanied by raindrops, which kept falling heavier and heavier, and the wind was also getting stronger and stronger.
There were violent storms, lightning and thunder. It was already a dark night, and now it had become even darker. The light could only be seen when there were lightning and thunder.
They stood in front of the window, some distance away from the yard, but even so, rain was blown over. You can imagine how heavy the rain was.
“It’s getting heavier.”
Zhao Pan'er's face became more and more solemn. Even though she had lived for more than 20 years, she had only seen such violent storms a few times. What was more terrifying was that the storm was still continuing and was getting stronger and stronger.
Now she somewhat understood Zhou Chen's worries. If this continued, it would indeed cause a very serious disaster.
and……
"Sister Pan'er, Sister Pan'er..."
Zhao Pan'er hurried to the door. As soon as she opened it, a strong wind blew and blew the door open. She took a step back uncontrollably.
Song Yinzhang rushed in holding the silver bottle. When the three women were about to close the door, they saw Sun Sanniang also running over in a hurry.
The women closed the door against the wind and were about to speak when they saw Zhou Chen in the room.
"Lord Zhou, you are here too."
Sun Sanniang was a little surprised, then she tightened her clothes. She had just heard the noise and ran over in a hurry, and her clothes were blown into disarray.
Song Yinzhang and Yinping also hurriedly saluted Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "I came to talk to you, Pan'er, just as I was about to leave, there was a storm, and now I can't leave even if I want to."
"Oh."
The three girls were tactful and did not ask any further questions. As for whether this was the case or not, they knew it very well.
Song Yinzhang leaned against Zhao Pan'er in fear: "Sister Pan'er, this storm is too scary, especially the thunder, it's so scary."
Yinping nodded frantically. She was Song Yinzhang's maid and lived next to him. When the thunder just happened, she ran into Song Yinzhang's room. Both the master and the servant were terrified. In the end, they were so scared that they could only run to Zhao Pan'er for comfort.
Sun Sanniang was not too scared, but her expression was solemn. Such a severe storm was indeed rare.
Zhao Pan'er said, "Since you all don't dare to sleep, then you all stay here. When the storm stops, you can go back and rest."
The three girls would certainly have no objection, recently, they had not opened the door, except for going out to buy groceries, they basically stayed at home, so they were not tired, even if they did not rest for a night, it would be no problem.
But in this case, in the not-so-big room, except for Zhou Chen, the rest were all women, so the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
But Zhou Chen had no intention of leaving. After finding a place, he sat cross-legged and began to practice.
Zhao Pan'er and the other girls said this in a low voice, and when they saw that Zhou Chen hadn't moved, they gradually raised their voices.
The storm outside was getting stronger and stronger. Maybe it was because so many people were gathered together, or because of Zhou Chen's presence, so the women in the house were not afraid.
Two hours passed in a flash, but the storm outside still did not end, instead it became more and more severe. Several women were affected by the storm and didn't even chat. They looked at the storm outside with nervous expressions.
The storm did not stop until dawn. The intensity of the wind and rain weakened a lot, but it was still as bad as an ordinary storm.
The amount of rainfall in a few hours was already astonishing. The ground outside the yard was already full of water, and the pond had already overflowed.
Zhou Chen led the girls out of the room, stood in the pavilion and looked at the situation outside. The location of their yard was good and the house was well constructed, but even so, there were some damages, and the garden and lawn were even more devastated.
"I wonder how many families will be displaced by this storm." Zhao Pan'er sighed with a serious expression.
Sun Sanniang looked nervous: "Pan'er, will something happen to our half-covered shop?"
Zhao Pan'er's face changed and she said anxiously, "Oh no, Zhaodi is still living here with her face half covered."
Ge Zhaodi was a clerk they hired later. Although the shop had closed before, they did not fire Ge Zhaodi. They still kept her and agreed to let Ge Zhaodi live in Banzhaimian.
Zhou Chen comforted him, "There's no point in worrying now. Let's go over and take a look after the storm stops."
He knew that the half-covered face would be destroyed in a storm, but Ge Zhaodi should not be a stupid person. If she encountered danger, she would find a way to save herself.
It was not until the morning of Si that the storm completely stopped. Zhou Chen was also concerned about the situation in the Marquis' Mansion, so after the storm stopped, he separated from Zhao Pan'er and the others. He returned to the Marquis' Mansion, while Zhao Pan'er and the other girls went to half-cover their faces.
Zhou Chen quickly returned to the Marquis' Mansion and found that it was already busy. In such a large mansion, there were many places with accumulated water that needed to be cleaned up.
The official Yan Bo was called in, and he learned that the situation in the marquis's mansion was not bad. Only the firewood room and the stable had partially collapsed, and other places were at most damaged and leaking, and there was not much loss.
As for the personnel, there were no casualties, which also made Zhou Chen breathe a sigh of relief.
Nothing serious happened in Zhou Chen's Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, but Zhao Pan'er and the others suffered. When they arrived at Ma Xing Street, they saw a mess, with collapsed houses everywhere, and people lying on the ground injured and crying.
On Ma Xing Street, many shops were in shambles and suffered heavy losses. When they arrived at the half-covered area, the women fell silent.
The house had already collapsed and was in a mess. Many things in the house were blown away. It could be said that it had suffered devastating damage.
Zhao Pan'er and the other girls shed tears of sadness. Although the teahouse has not been opened for quite some time, they have deep feelings for this place. It was because of this teahouse that they were able to stay in Tokyo. This was the industry they had worked hard for for a long time.
Now almost everything has returned to zero, and you can imagine the sadness in my heart.
However, compared to the despair in the TV plot, although Zhao Paner is sad now, she is not desperate, because this tea house is very important to her, but now she has someone more important in her heart, so even if it is half gone Covering her face, she would not be desperate or afraid.
"Pan'er, this half-mask is so damaged that even if we want to repair it, it will take a long time."
Compared to Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang was more sad. She was different from Zhao Pan'er. Zhao Pan'er now had a marriage arranged by the government, and Zhou Chen was her backer, but she was alone. Without the half-covered face, she would have no source of income.
Zhao Pan'er was about to speak when she suddenly heard someone calling her.
"Sister Pan'er, Sister Pan'er, you are finally here."
Ge Zhaodi ran over in a mess. When she saw Zhao Paner and the others, she cried, "Last night's storm was really too strong. I couldn't protect this place at all. I had to hide. I'm sorry, Sister Paner, I couldn't protect this place for you. I'm sorry."
Zhao Pan'er hugged her and comforted her: "It's okay, Zhaodi, this has nothing to do with you. If she fell down with her face half covered, it's fine. I'm glad you're okay."
"But……"
Ge Zhaodi was very sad. Although she had not been in Banzhaimian for a long time, the ladies there were all very kind to her and she gradually regarded Banzhaimian as her home. Now that Banzhaimian was ruined, she was really sad.
"It's okay, we can just start over again, it's okay."
The girls walked into the wreckage and began to search for useful objects, to see if there was anything that could be rescued.
But unfortunately, except for some indestructible items, most of the items were destroyed and could no longer be used.
The women only packed for a while and then stopped because there wasn't much worth packing.
After walking out of Half-masked, Zhao Paner looked at the neighbors around her. Their situations were not much better, and many of them were even worse off than them.
The streets were in chaos, and many people were sitting on the ground, feeling sad. In short, the faces of most people showed despair and numbness.
This is Tokyo City, and it’s the inner city at that. It’s already so miserable here, so what kind of scene will it be like in the outer city?
Zhao Pan'er shook his head, not daring to continue thinking.
Suddenly, there was chaos around, and many people ran towards the pier, as if something happened there.
"Pan'er, something seems to have happened over there, let's go take a look."
After being busy for so long, Sun Sanniang had become more open-minded. When she saw that there was some excitement, she pulled Zhao Pan'er, Song Yinzhang and the others over to take a look.
When they squeezed through the crowd, they saw Chi Pan, who had a feud with them, being bullied by a group of people from the government office at the dock.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 1004: Bullying others with power, opening a brothel
When Zhao Pan'er first came to Tokyo, she had a conflict with Chi Pan. Later, Chi Pan bullied Song Yinzhang, which led to disputes and fights between several women and Chi Pan.
Because Zhao Pan'er has always had Zhou Chen's support and protection, she was not humiliated and bullied by Chi Pan as in the TV drama.
So the relationship between them was not particularly bad, but it was definitely not good either. Zhao Pan'er and the others even felt that the servants under Chi Pan were much better than Chi Pan.
In the past, they always saw Chi Pan bullying others, but now when they saw Chi Pan being bullied, they felt very happy in their hearts.
But when she saw Chi Pan being forced to kneel down and even being insulted, scolded and beaten, she, who was kind-hearted, suddenly felt a little bit reluctant.
Especially when the river supervisor despised and scolded the merchants and made Chi Pan lick the mud off his boots, he could no longer bear it.
