The world of film and television starts from a young age

"Although I have a title, this is Qiantang, not Tokyo. I am just an ordinary customer in your tea shop, so you don't have to be so cautious."

Zhou Chen told Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang not to be cautious, but knowing Zhou Chen's identity, how could they be as relaxed as before.

Even Sun Sanniang, who has always been careless and can't speak well, is cautious at the moment and doesn't dare to speak.

But they were relieved to see that Zhou Chen didn't care about them, and Sun Sanniang was fine, but Zhao Paner also met many officials.

But even so, there are very few people in Qiantang, and even in Hangzhou, who can match Zhou Chen's status.

This hypothetical Song Dynasty is different from the official Song Dynasty. Although there are many princes and earls, more than [-]% of them are lifelong titles that cannot be hereditary. Not many can be hereditary, and even rarer can be hereditary.

You must know that even if it is the Meng family of Zhou Chen's mother's family, the patriarch was named the county king after his death, but the hereditary title is still only the title of Duke.

Therefore, the hereditary marquis of the Zhou family, looking at the entire Song Dynasty, is a first-class title. As long as the Zhou family does not seek rebellion, it can be passed on forever.

So even though Zhongyonghou's mansion is only from the third rank in terms of rank, its status is deeply rooted, and it is more noble than the second rank officials.

Zhao Pan'er said in a low voice: "Master Hou, you have a noble status. It is already a great gift not to blame us. How dare you treat you as an ordinary guest."

Zhou Chen also knew that after his identity was exposed, Zhao Pan'er would feel apprehensive, so he said, "I guess I will stay in Qiantang for a while, regarding my identity..."

Zhao Pan'er immediately understood: "Master Hou, don't worry, Sanniang and I will never reveal anything about this matter."

Sun Sanniang also promised: "Me too, Lord Hou, I will never tell anyone, even my son Fang, I will never tell him."

Zhou Chen nodded, and said again: "The interest in drinking tea just now was interrupted, and I can't stay in this room anymore. I'll go to the gazebo outside, and please ask Mrs. Zhao to make another pot of tea for me."

"That's what it should be. Lord Hou, you go there first, and I'll make you a pot of Lingyin Buddha tea right now." Zhao Pan'er replied without thinking.

Zhou Chen walked out of the house and sat down in the gazebo by the river in the courtyard. Qin Yi immediately handed over the book Zhou Chen had just read.

Picking up the book, Zhou Chen began to read it again.

Inside the room, Sun Sanniang was discussing with Zhao Pan'er in a low voice.

"It's really scary. It turns out that Zhou Guanren is still a master. Pan'er, it's because of your good eyes that you can see his extraordinaryness at a glance."

"I don't have any eyesight. I just saw that he is extraordinary, not like ordinary people, but I didn't expect that his status is so noble. A Marquis like him can talk to us on an equal footing. I don't think it's real."

Sun Sanniang agreed with Zhao Pan'er's words very much: "You're right, I didn't feel that he had airs before, unlike our officials here, the little officials who order sesame and mung beans, usually show off their power, by the way, Pan'er, this loyal and brave man How high an official is Hou?"

Zhao Pan'er rolled her eyes: "The Marquis of Zhongyong is a title, not an official position, so it is not wrong for Lord Zhou to say that he has no official position, but the rank of the Marquis is higher than most official positions, even if it is our prefect Zhizhou, In terms of rank alone, it can't compare to Zhou Houye."

"Huh? He's older than the prefect. Such a high-ranking official, so young and handsome. I don't know if he's married." Sun Sanniang looked nympho.

Zhao Pan'er was even more speechless: "What are you thinking? It doesn't matter to us whether he is married or not. Hurry up and get some fruit. He just saved us, so we have to repay the favor."

Sun Sanniang sighed: "I just feel it's a pity, Pan'er, I think Zhou Hou looked at you in the wrong way, if it wasn't for your family Ouyang Xu, I think it would be a good choice for you to follow him."

"Hurry up and shut up, San Niang."

Zhao Pan'er was taken aback, glanced at Zhou Chen outside in a panic, and lowered her voice: "Don't talk nonsense, Ouyang and I are destined, I have nothing but gratitude to this Lord Zhou, and I have I just swore that I, Zhao Pan'er, will never be a concubine in my life."

She was also born in an official before, but after living in the Jiaofang Division, she saw too many women as concubines, but the ending of being a concubine was worse than the last, so she swore a long time ago that she would never be a concubine in this life, even in the future do not marry.

So after she became a good citizen, she didn't get married until she was 21 years old. In this era, it's really too rare to be married at this age.

Until later she met Ouyang Xu, and she devoted herself to helping Ouyang Xu in scientific research, and could no longer tolerate others in her eyes.

Sun Sanniang said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Pan'er, I just said it casually, I know what you're thinking, didn't Master Zhou also say it, so the exam should have ended, I believe Ouyang Xu will be able to go to high school, say Maybe now he has arranged for someone to come to Qiantang and wants to take you to Tokyo."

Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er suddenly showed a sweet smile on his face, but for some reason, he suddenly thought of what Zhou Chen had said to them back then.

If Ouyang Xu was in high school, would he treat her as well as he did in Qiantang when he stayed in Tokyo?
"I hope so."

"Master Hou, your Lingyin Buddha tea."

Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang put the tea and fruit in their hands on the table.

"Let's go to clean up the house, so we won't bother Master Hou to drink tea."

"it is good."

Zhou Chen picked up the teacup and took a sip. Zhao Pan'er's tea making skills are really good.

Although the variety of tea is not as good as that of the later generations, it is all handmade tea, which is more natural than those teas made by machines in later generations.

People who don't like tea may not be able to taste the difference, but Zhou Chen often tastes tea in modern times, so he can taste the difference.

"Master Hou, your identity has been known, do we need to leave? Jin Huan can leave at any time."

Qin Yi asked Zhou Chen in a low voice.

Zhou Chen said casually: "No, my identity is not shady, and I don't have an official position now, so is it possible that someone will be against me?"

There is still a word left, even if someone wants to harm him, we have to see if they have the ability.

The reason why he didn't leave in a hurry was because he knew that he would meet the last of the three Menghualu sisters later, Song Yinzhang, who was the youngest.

The character of Song Yinzhang in the play does not look very pleasing, but in fact, Song Yinzhang is a good woman, but she is not deeply involved in the world, she is too simple, and she doesn't know people well; Being blinded, that's why she did a lot of wrong things in the play.

But this is all from the audience's point of view, but if you look at it from Song Yinzhang's point of view, it will be another situation.

For a prostitute living in the Jiaofang Division, their status is inferior to that of ordinary servants. They look glamorous, but in fact they are playthings in the hands of important people, and they will never be free.

This is still in this era. If a woman in modern society came to this world with the same identity as Song Yinzhang, I am afraid that for the sake of freedom, she would do more extreme things than Song Yinzhang.

Don't persuade others to be kind without others suffering!If you suffer from me, you may not be as good as me!
Viewers who watch TV dramas are basically from the perspective of the protagonist, so what they see is Song Yinzhang's stupidity and hopelessness, but in fact, she still has a lot of redeeming qualities.

At least without Song Yinzhang, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang would not be able to gain a foothold so quickly after they arrived in Tokyo.

After going through so many film and television dramas, Zhou Chen has already learned to look at people from multiple angles, not just one side.

Seeing that Zhou Chen didn't intend to leave, Zhao Pan'er didn't urge her and continued to tidy up in the house.

Qin Yi didn't sit down, but stood next to Zhou Chen without making a sound.

An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhou Chen finished reading the book, stretched his waist, and was about to stand up, when he suddenly saw something flying over from the opposite side of the river.

Qin Yi's expression suddenly changed, he stood behind Zhou Chen, quickly stretched out his hand, grabbed the flying object, and then discovered that it turned out to be the ball used for Cuju.

"Throw it back." Zhou Chen said coldly.

Without hesitation, Qin Yi saw the kid on the opposite side, aimed at him and threw the ball over. The aim was very good, and it hit the target.

"oops!"

A scream alarmed Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang who were cleaning the house. They rushed to the railing and saw Fu Zifang covering his head across the river at a glance.

Zhao Pan'er was fine, but Sun Sanniang was furious from the soles of her feet.

"Fu Zifang, you play truant again and dare to hit someone. I'll kill you."

Sun Sanniang couldn't be blamed for being angry, she herself had high hopes for her son, and she was already very angry when she saw him play truant, not to mention, he dared to hit Zhou Chen with a ball.

Zhou Chen is a loyal and brave prince, a noble in the imperial court, they are not something they can offend, if Zhou Chen is unhappy alone, the beating would be light or harsh, then they dare not think about it.

In such a small county like theirs, the son of the county magistrate can be in the fish and meat town. He is domineering and lawless. A marquis who is countless ranks higher than the county magistrate must be even more terrifying.

Thinking of this, she couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the broom, and rushed out of the tea shop.

She first bowed and apologized to Zhou Chen: "Master Zhou, I'm really sorry. The women are incapable of teaching their children and offended Lord Hou. I will go and arrest him now, and ask Lord Hou to punish him."

Zhou Chen waved his hand: "It's just a child's prank, but Mrs. Sun will still discipline her in the future. If he continues to act like this, he will cause trouble sooner or later."

Sun Sanniang was grateful and fearful at the same time.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, for your kindness. I'm going to teach that little bastard a lesson now."

After finishing speaking, she picked up the broom and chased in the direction where Fu Zifang was escaping.

Zhao Pan'er in the house also came to plead for Sun Sanniang's mother and son at this time. Although she thought Zhou Chen would not be so stingy, her attitude towards Zhou Chen changed drastically after she knew Zhou Chen's identity.

It's not flattering to flatter, but it is also serving carefully.

"Ms. Zhao, I see that you don't feel much sadness about the tea shop being destroyed. Why?" Zhou Chen deliberately found a topic to talk to Zhao Pan'er.

Zhao Pan'er said truthfully: "Minnv's fiance is a scholar. After Minnv married him, she would no longer run a tea shop, so I was a little sad that the tea shop was destroyed, but I was relieved when I thought that this day would happen in the future." gone."

Zhou Chen sighed quietly: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are ranked last, but the world doesn't understand that if there are no merchants, how can the world be stable?"

Zhao Pan'er was surprised, and asked curiously: "Master Hou, according to you, don't you think businessmen are low?"

"You make money with your skills, why are you so cheap? Why, as the shopkeeper of the tea shop, do you think you are so cheap?" Zhou Chen asked back.

Zhao Pan'er replied without hesitation: "Of course not, I never feel that I am inferior, it's just that the world is like this..."

"Yeah, everyone in the world is like this, it's useless."

Zhou Chen sighed, how should I put it, businessmen, this is a historical issue, and there are many problems, but it cannot be said that it is completely unreasonable.

Think about it the other way around, what would it be like if a businessman had a high enough status, had money and power, and became a ruler?
Do consortiums control the country?
Shaking his head, Zhou Chen didn't think about it anymore, he just sighed and comforted Zhao Pan'er.

In this day and age, thinking about these things has no other effect other than nerve-wracking.

To put it bluntly, even if the emperor wanted to elevate the status of merchants, it was absolutely impossible to do so in this background dynasty.

Zhao Pan'er became more and more curious about Zhou Chen. You must know that even an ordinary scholar can look down on businessmen and dare to point their noses at them and scold them for being full of money.

And Zhou Chen, who was clearly a rare noble in the world, did not despise businessmen, this was something she had never seen before.

"Miss Zhao, if you go to Tokyo in the future and encounter something, you can go to the Zhongyonghou Mansion to find me, maybe I can help."

Even if she really went to Tokyo in the future, Zhao Pan'er never thought of going to find Zhou Chen, but she was flattered that a Marquis like Zhou Chen could say such things to her.

"Thank you, Lord Hou, there is no way for women to repay you."

"Sister Pan'er, Sister Pan'er."

Suddenly, a woman's call came from the stone arch bridge, and Zhou Chen turned his head to look.

I saw a carriage parked on the stone arch bridge, two women and a man standing on the railing of the bridge, one of the young and beautiful girls was looking here, apparently she was the one who called someone just now.

Zhao Pan'er asked in surprise: "Yinzhang, why are you here?"

Song Yinzhang asked with concern: "I heard that some bad guys came to the tea shop, so I hurried over here, Sister Pan'er, are you okay?"

Zhao Pan'er walked to the door of the tea shop, and Song Yinzhang and the others also came over.

"Introduction, silver bottle."

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly saw a strange man following Song Yinzhang, and his expression changed slightly.

"Who is this?"

The man saluted, and Song Yinzhang introduced embarrassingly: "Zhou Lang, he sent me here because he was afraid that I would be in a hurry."

"Zhou Lang?"

Zhao Pan'er was shocked, his eyes full of searching.

Song Yinzhang looked back at the man in embarrassment, and he took a step forward.

"Xiao Ke Zhoushe, I have met Mrs. Zhao. Yinzhang would mention Sister Zhao to me at least ten times a day. When I saw her today, I was really in high spirits, extraordinary."

Although Zhou She had a smile on his face, Zhao Pan'er felt that something was wrong no matter how he looked at it, so he could only cover up his mood with a smile.

"Please come in."

Then he turned around and led the way, Yin Ping, Song Yinzhang's servant girl, rushed to catch up, and told Zhao Pan'er about Zhou She and Song Yinzhang.

Zhou Chen watched Zhao Pan'er lead Song Yinzhang and the others into the house, and laughed.
