The world of film and television begins from childhood

"Well, since I've handed the restaurant over to you, I'll do whatever you want. If you need anything, just tell me directly."

In the end, everything was renovated according to Zhao Paner's wishes, but Zhao Paner still did not choose to add a sexy brothel on the basis of the restaurant.

It was because she was going to marry Zhou Chen soon. Compared with Zhou Chen, her status was much lower. If she opened a restaurant with the nature of a brothel, it would not only have a bad influence on herself, but also be bad for Zhou Chen's reputation.

Compared with Zhou Chen, making money is not important at all, so no matter how much Chi Pan begged, she did not agree, and even proposed to withdraw her shares. Chi Pan would never let Zhao Paner withdraw her shares, so he quickly agreed to everything.

However, just like before when she half-covered her face, she chose a performance with various programs, such as playing the piano, pipa, singing and dancing, etc.

After she made the decision, she explained it to Zhou Chen, which made Zhou Chen realize that he had not considered it enough.

In fact, when he made the suggestion that day, he didn't think too much about it. He just thought of his side quest and said it casually.

The main reason is that this is only his second time traveling to ancient times. The first time he was on Langya Bang, he didn’t have to worry too much about his reputation and could do whatever he wanted.

But the situation in this world is different. He is now a high-ranking official in the imperial court and a hereditary loyal and brave marquis. He is not afraid of rumors, but he cannot ignore them, so reputation is also very important.

Even if he wanted to open a brothel to facilitate the completion of the task, he could never let it have anything to do with Zhao Pan'er and him.

After figuring this out, he couldn't help but sigh. Although he had lived in this world for many years, he was not born and raised here after all. His thoughts were too open, and when he considered things, he often did not take into account the current era context.

Sometimes, he would inexplicably ignore simple things. He really needs a good wife by his side.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the day when the new restaurant, Yong'anlou, opens.

Relying on novel methods, Zhao Pan'er held a grand banquet after the opening, invited famous talents and officials in Tokyo City, and created huge momentum and publicity.

Thanks to this grand Huayue Banquet, Yong'an Tower became an instant hit and gained fame in Tokyo city.

In particular, Yong'an Building is a comprehensive business venue that integrates catering and entertainment, which attracts more literati and poets than a simple restaurant.

Moreover, compared with other restaurants, Yong'an Building has a huge advantage, that is, the area is large enough, and it is still in the center of the lake, so you need to take a boat to go to and from it. Generally speaking, it is very compelling.

At the end of autumn, the weather gradually turned cooler. It was in early December that Zhou Chen and Zhao Pan'er officially got married.

Zhou Chen kept his word and married Zhao Pan'er in a formal ceremony with a phoenix crown and a red bridal robe. Because of Zhou Chen, Zhao Pan'er was even conferred the title of a third-rank lady by the government.

The marriage process in ancient times was actually very complicated. Although Zhou Chen had simplified it a bit, it still took many days to officially get married.

The bridal sedan started from the Marquis's Mansion, walked along the Imperial Street, and finally arrived at the Anyefang Villa.

As a new noble in the court, Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, and Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Palace Front Department, Zhou Chen's wedding was naturally of grand scale, and the guests were all either wealthy or noble.

Although many people had previously discussed privately that Zhou Chen, a dignified Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery and a high-ranking official in the imperial court, was marrying a merchant girl of low status, after the emperor granted the marriage, there were fewer discussions, and no one dared to offend him at the wedding.

The wedding went smoothly. Both Zhou Chen and Zhao Pan'er were busy from early morning till the bridal chamber at night.

Especially Zhou Chen, who had to welcome the bride and deal with the guests coming and going, so he was very busy.

During the wedding ceremony, the emperor even sent angels to announce the decree and congratulate Zhou Chen and Zhao Pan'er on their wedding, which further enhanced the atmosphere of the wedding.

In the wedding room.

Zhou Chen lifted his hijab, and saw Zhao Pan'er, who was as delicate as a flower and overwhelmed the country. At this moment, the slightly dark room seemed to become brighter in an instant.

"Master Hou."

"Pan'er."

Zhou Chen and Zhao Pan'er drank the wedding wine.

"Pan'er, from today on, you are my wife, the eldest lady of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion."

"Officer."

Zhou Chen picked up Zhao Pan'er and walked towards the bed...

This day was also a day when gossip and rumors spread a lot for people in Tokyo.

Zhou Chen, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, was a famous person in Tokyo City. Now he married an ordinary merchant girl, and a lady at that. This really shocked many people.

There are those who are disdainful and look down upon it, those who are envious and jealous, and those who just want to enjoy the show and not be afraid of trouble…

Even though the marriage was granted by the government, there were still many dignitaries who thought Zhou Chen was a fool for marrying a merchant girl. For many scholars, they were even more direct. Many of them cursed Zhou Chen, accusing him of being self-degrading and marrying a prostitute.

Those who were envious and jealous were basically all women, especially the daughters of ordinary people. They were full of jealousy towards Zhao Pan'er, the lady of the marquis's mansion who had risen to the top overnight, and they wished they could replace her.

Because Zhou Chen's parents and elders were no longer at home, the new daughter-in-law didn't have to get up early to serve tea.

However, Zhao Pan'er still got up very early and helped Zhou Chen to undress and wash, and then the couple walked around in the marquis' mansion.

Zhou Chen introduced Zhao Pan'er to the people in charge of the mansion, such as the emperor, maids, mothers-in-law and the like. Apart from knowing Zhou Huai, Qin Yi and others, it was the first time that Zhao Pan'er met the other servants, so she did not act like the mistress of the house and spoke to everyone very kindly.

From a merchant girl to the mistress of a marquis's mansion, the leap was enormous. Fortunately, Zhao Pan'er's family background was good when she was a child. She was born into a family of officials, and she was also smart, so she was able to keep stable.

After a few days, Zhao Pan'er had slowly gotten used to life in the Marquis' Mansion. She could feel that the servants in the Mansion seemed to be very respectful to her, but in fact, there were also many people who were dissatisfied with her, especially the maids and the mothers-in-law, and some even talked about her in private.

Zhao Pan'er is kind-hearted, but that doesn't mean she has no temper. She had just married into the Marquis's Mansion, so she didn't take any action. But she knew what was going on and kept it in mind.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Zhou Chen about these backyard matters, and Zhou Chen didn't ask. He naturally knew that as long as he loved and valued his wife enough, Zhao Pan'er's position and majesty in the Hou's mansion would be more stable. As for the other things, he I believe that Pan'er can handle it by herself.

At night, Zhou Chen and Zhao Pan'er slept in each other's arms.

"My Lord, I have already handed over the restaurant to Sanniang and Yinzhang. I will not go there anymore."

"Not going? Are you willing to do that?"

Zhou Chen didn't expect Zhao Pan'er to give up the restaurant just after getting married.

Zhao Pan'er said softly, "There's nothing to be reluctant about. Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. Moreover, marrying the Marquis is the luckiest thing in my life. Compared with the Marquis, everything else is unimportant."

Zhou Chen gave her a light kiss: "You have such a sweet mouth."

Zhao Paner twisted her body and changed to a more comfortable position.

"In fact, I agreed to open a restaurant with Chi Pan not for myself, but for Sanniang, Yinzhang and Zhaodi. Although Sanniang and Yinzhang have their own skills, I don't want to see them running around for a living, so I opened a restaurant with Chi Pan so that they can have a good place to go."

"You always think about others, but you don't realize that they are not children anymore. Even without your help, they may not live badly."

"We are sisters, so of course we should consider them more. Lord, do you think I am meddling too much?"

"No, you did very well. I am even happier that you are like this. You can give so much for your little sister. Now that you have become my wife, you will definitely consider me more in the future."

Zhao Pan'er became the lady of the Marquis' Mansion, but she still cared about her sisters and considered them. This was a good quality, and he certainly could not despise it.

"I will be attending court in two days, and I may be very busy in the future. I will have to attend many social events, and I will have to trouble you with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."

"This is what I should do. My Lord, you don't have to do this."

"If you encounter any problems, you can ask Uncle Yan more. He has been in the Marquis' Mansion for decades and is loyal. And Qin Yi, he is the captain of my personal guard and can be trusted absolutely."

Zhou Chen whispered instructions to Zhao Pan'er, and Zhao Pan'er listened carefully. She knew that managing such a large mansion was not an easy task.

Now she is the eldest lady of the Marquis's Mansion. She has no elders above her, so everything in the mansion has to be managed personally by her, the eldest lady.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery is worthy of being a hereditary marquisate that prospers along with the country. It is extremely large, several times larger than the villa in Anyefang where she lived before. There are also quite a few servants and maids, and she needs time to familiarize herself with every aspect of it.

…………

"Is this the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery?"

Ge Zhaodi looked at the tall courtyard in front of her with excitement. This was the Marquis's Mansion, and she had never been to such a grand place before.

In addition to Ge Zhaodi, Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang and their servants were also present. Sun Sanniang and Yinping were calmer than Ge Zhaodi. Although they had never been to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, they had seen it at the door twice.

Among the four girls, only Song Yinzhang had been to the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, because she was invited to perform the pipa on the day of Zhao Pan'er and Zhou Chen's wedding.

So she said with some pride at this time: "It's not that great outside, but you will know when you go in, it's bigger inside, much bigger than where we live. Even Mr. Xiao's mansion can't compare to this place."

Although Xiao Qinyan holds a higher official position, in her eyes, Xiao Qinyan is not as good as Zhou Chen.

"We'll go knock on the door. Be careful later. There are many rules in the Marquis' Mansion. We can't lose face for Sister Pan'er."

Even Sun Sanniang, the oldest one, looked nervous at this moment. Although she had met many high-ranking officials after coming to Tokyo, this was her first time entering a high-ranking mansion like the Marquis' Mansion.

As for Yinping and Ge Zhaodi, there is no need to mention it. The Marquis' Mansion is really too far away for them.

"Madam, there are two ladies visiting outside the mansion. They say they are your sisters. Do you want to bring them in?"

Zhao Pan'er was checking the account book handed over by the housekeeper Yan Bo when Nanny Zhu, the manager of the backyard, came over and reported in a low voice.

The Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had been without a mistress for a long time, so there were not many maids and nannies in the mansion. The two nannies in charge were Nanny Zhu and Nanny Pu. Both of them were maids who came with Zhou Chen's late mother as a dowry. They had been in the mansion for thirty years and were the managers of all the female members of the family.

After Zhao Pan'er married into the Marquis's Mansion and became the mistress of the mansion, all the female family members and servants in the mansion naturally came under her charge. The two old maids also had clear division of labor. Nanny Zhu served Zhao Pan'er personally, while Nanny Pu was responsible for managing the other maids.

Zhao Pan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she thought of Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang, so she immediately ordered: "Madam Zhu, please bring them in."

"Yes, madam."

After Nanny Zhu went out, she took Song Yinzhang and the others into the backyard after a while, and then left according to Zhao Paner's instructions.

When they saw Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang and the other girls were extremely excited, and Sun Sanniang even saluted with a smile.

"I pay my respects to the Marquise, Madam Zhao."

Zhao Pan'er immediately said in dissatisfaction: "Sanniang, you only know how to laugh at me. Just call me Pan'er, it's closer this way."

Sun Sanniang saw that although Zhao Pan'er was wearing silk and satin and had noble makeup, her attitude and tone remained the same as before, without any change, so she relaxed.

Song Yinzhang also called her "Sister Pan'er" sweetly, but Yinping and Ge Zhaodi seemed very reserved and called her "Madam". With Zhao Pan'er's comfort, the two of them slowly relaxed.

"Sanniang, Yinzhang, isn't Yong'an Tower busy today? How did you find time to come here?"

"Yong'an Restaurant is doing well. Although it is a little worse than when you were away, the business is still very good because of the foundation you laid before. We just missed you and came to see you. As for Chi Yanei, he didn't dare to come, so he asked us to say hello to you."

Sun Sanniang's face was full of smiles. After the fire in Yong'an Building, she had many happy events.

First, she developed a relationship with her fellow Jinshi Du Changfeng, and the progress was pretty good. Then, she abandoned her son in Qiantang, and actually followed the caravan to Tokyo alone. She found Sun Sanniang, cried and acted like a spoiled child, and finally obtained Sun Sanniang's forgiveness and stayed in Tokyo.

With a happy career, lover and family, Sun Sanniang naturally has reasons to be happy.

Zhao Pan'er also knew about Sun Sanniang's situation, so she was happy for her. In this way, even if Sun Sanniang was not in Yong'an Tower in the future, she would be able to stay in Tokyo.

Song Yinzhang is living a good life now. He works as a coach in Yong'an Building, responsible for teaching the artists in Yong'an Building.

Ge Zhaodi has now been entrusted with an important task and has taken over part of the vacancy left by Zhao Paner. She is now also a small shopkeeper and is very busy.

Everyone is fine now, and Zhao Pan'er is also happy from the bottom of her heart. She, Sun Sanniang and Song Yinzhang are sisters, and hope that they can also live a happy and healthy life.

"Sister Pan'er, you are now the eldest lady of the Marquis' Mansion. Don't go to Yong'an Tower anymore. It will have a bad influence on you."

Before Song Yinzhang came to Tokyo, she was just a little girl who knew nothing about the world. However, nearly a year of life in Tokyo has made her grow up a lot. She no longer looks at people and things as naively and ignorantly as before, and has learned to think twice before acting.

Sun Sanniang also agreed. Although they had put in a lot of energy and effort for Yong'an Tower, compared to Zhao Pan'er, they would definitely stand on Zhao Pan'er's side without hesitation, both in terms of emotion and interests.

Needless to say, the feelings between them are simply incomparable to those in Yong'an Building. The three of them came from Qiantang, started from scratch, and established themselves in Tokyo.

As for the practical interests, it goes without saying. One is the eldest lady of the Loyal and Brave Marquis's Mansion, a third-rank lady, and the other is the owner of Yong'an Tower. Any normal person would know what to choose.

Zhao Pan'er smiled with satisfaction and said, "It's great that our Yin Zhang has also learned to think."

The girls started chatting, and Sun Sanniang even specifically asked about Zhao Pan'er's life in the Marquis' Mansion.

"It's fine. Everyone in the mansion respects me. Sanniang, you don't have to worry."

Zhao Pan'er knew what they were worried about. It was simply that she had a shallow foundation and they were afraid that she would be neglected and bullied in the Marquis' Mansion.

After hearing this, Sun Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. It can be seen that Lord Zhou still loves you very much. Pan'er, you are a good person, that's why you have such good rewards. You can serve Lord Hou with peace of mind. Don't miss us, we're all fine."

Song Yinzhang also nodded and said, "Yes, Sister Pan'er, you don't have to worry about us, we are fine."

Zhao Pan'er's eyes were a little red. Before she got married, she was with Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang and others every day. Now that she was married, she could no longer be like before.

"You must come visit me often in the future. To me, you are my family."

Song Yinzhang and Sun Sanniang also nodded in agreement with red eyes.

Chapter 1006: Serving the King is Like Serving a Tiger, Pan'er's Satisfaction

"Deputy Envoy Zhou!"

Looking at Guo Fen, the commander of the Palace Guard, who was also wearing a purple robe in front of him, Zhou Chen responded with a calm expression.

"Commander Guo."

Although Guo Fen was the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Department and Zhou Chen's superior, and his rank was second grade, which was higher than Zhou Chen, Zhou Chen had no respect for him.

Of course, not only Zhou Chen had no respect for him, Guo Fen also had no good feelings towards Zhou Chen at all.

To Guo Fen, Zhou Chen is his political enemy, and the biggest one at that.

Originally, as the commander-in-chief of the Palace Front Department, he had the final say in the department.

But since the assassination of Xiao Qinyan, everything changed. The deputy commander-in-chief and the chief military officer under his command were both thrown into prison. Although he was not arrested, he was severely punished by the housekeeper and ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors.
