Chapter 985 Confirmation of Love, Sad Song Yinzhang

"Now that you are in good health, you have inherited the title of Marquis, and your official career is prosperous. I think there are many nobles who want to get married to you."

Meng Wei looked proud. Zhou Chen was his nephew and they had a very close relationship with him. Zhou Chen felt a sense of accomplishment and he was proud of himself.

"But, you are qualified to choose. In my opinion, all you have to do is marry a noble girl who can stabilize the backyard."

Zhou Chen was a little helpless. It seemed that no matter in ancient times or in modern times, men could not escape the fate of being forced to get married as long as they reached their age.

"Uncle, I know this matter well, so don't worry about me."

Meng Wei's eyes lit up and he asked: "From your tone, it sounds like you already have a target?"

Zhou Chen said: "Uncle, I haven't even finished my birth date yet. Don't mention it today. My period of filial piety has just ended, so I'd better wait a little longer."

"You kid, I have heard from your father a long time ago. Every time this matter is brought up, you try to shirk it. Why, you are so old and haven't gotten married yet. When do you want to wait? The Zhongyong Hou Mansion needs you to pass on the inheritance. .”

Meng Wei was a little angry. Zhou Chen was the only one left in the Zhongyong Hou Mansion, so Zhou Chen had a heavy responsibility. This was why he couldn't wait to choose someone for Zhou Chen.

"Uncle, you really don't need to worry about this matter. I know in my heart that the Zhongyong Hou Mansion will definitely be passed down, and it will become stronger and stronger."

Zhou Chen really didn't want to get into more trouble with Meng Wei about his marriage, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Uncle, let's talk about those people you invited today."

Meng Wei felt helpless, sighed, and stopped pestering him.

"We invited a lot of people today, including Duke An, Marquis Ningyuan..."

The nobles invited by Meng Wei are indeed the top dignitaries in Tokyo City, and the worst are earls. They are not many in number and all of them are not simple.

Zhou Chen also lamented that the Meng family's reputation is big enough. Even among the honorable nobles who advance and retreat together most of the time, not everyone is united. They only unite when the interests of the honorable nobles are at stake. In fact, There are also occasional fights inside.

After the guests arrived, the banquet began quickly, and Zhou Chen became the focus of the party.

He may not have the highest status among many noble lords, but those who have higher status and greater power than him are much older than him and not as young as him;

And those who are younger than him are not as good as him in terms of status and title, let alone official positions and real power.

Zhou Chen relied on his excellent communication skills to get along well among many nobles, and made friends with them one after another.

The banquet lasted for a long time, and Zhou Chen couldn't remember how much he drank. In short, most of the people at the banquet left in the most drunken state.

After leaving Meng's Mansion, Zhou Chen did not go back directly, but went around to Anyefang.

Zhao Pan'er sat in the pavilion, looking at the full moon in the sky, and unconsciously thought of her past life.

It has been several months since she came to Tokyo. Although she has gradually integrated into it, when she has free time, she still often thinks of her days in Qiantang and her life in Dengzhou when she was a child.

But as I thought about it, another person appeared in my mind unconsciously.

Zhou Chen!

Ever since that night, she would always think of Zhou Chen, lingering in her mind.

"Hmph, it's really harmful."

"Who is causing harm? Are you talking about me?"

"ah!"

The sudden sound startled Zhao Pan'er, but she quickly reacted and turned around to see Zhou Chen, who was looking at her with a smile.

"Why do you never go through the main entrance every time you come here, and you don't make any noise at all? If I hadn't been used to it, I would have been scared to death by you."

Zhou Chen walked over to Zhao Pan'er and sat down next to him. He naturally grabbed Zhao Pan'er's hand, put it in his own and caressed it.

Zhao Pan'er twitched a bit, but didn't pull out, so she stopped resisting.

Suddenly her nose twitched: "Have you been drinking?"

"Well, I had a drink with a bunch of nobles today, and I didn't get away until now. I missed you, so I came over to see you. Only after I came did I know that you missed me too."

Zhao Pan'er blushed: "When did I miss you?"

"My face is red and I'm still quibbling."

Giving Zhou Chen a big roll of his eyes, Zhao Pan'er said, "It's okay to drink, but it's better to drink less. Drinking too much is harmful to your health."

"Tsk, tsk, you haven't even passed the test yet, but you're already thinking about me and want to control me?"

"If you keep talking, I will stop talking to you and you will make fun of me."

"Okay, okay, okay, I won't talk anymore, let's talk about something happy."

Zhou Chen stared into Zhao Pan'er's eyes and said softly: "Pan'er, I still said the same thing, I want to marry you. When do you think it is the most suitable time for me to propose marriage? Do you need to find a matchmaker and find out the birth dates and so on first? of?"

Zhao Pan'er is no longer as shy as before, but she still said: "I haven't even said that I want to marry you, and you are ready to propose marriage? This is too soon."

"You're going to change late. You are so good. If I don't marry you home soon and you run away to someone else, won't I suffer a big loss?"

"That's nonsense. As long as I, Zhao Pan'er, identify a person, unless he betrays me and does something unforgivable, I will definitely identify him. Even if it means death, I will never flinch."

Zhou Chen hugged Zhao Pan'er into his arms. This time, Zhao Pan'er did not resist and leaned against Zhou Chen's chest.

"Me too, Pan'er. Maybe you think what I said before is a bit frivolous and informal, but now I can solemnly tell you that I want to marry you, and I want to be with you forever, and we will never be separated. For this, I am willing to give everything.”

Zhao Pan'er put her hands around Zhou Chen's waist and said softly: "Me too. I was always afraid before and felt that I was not worthy of you, so I didn't dare to show my emotions."

"Then why do you dare now?"

"It's because I'm not afraid now. You are a majestic and loyal Marquis, a young general of the Song Dynasty, and a rare hero in the world. You are so good to me and have promised me several times. If I don't believe you anymore, it will be really too much." I'm sorry for your feelings towards me, so I am willing to believe you and follow you for the rest of my life."

"Just like you said, we will always be united and we will never be separated."

Zhou Chen hugged Zhao Paner forcefully. He had had many women, but as long as he was sincerely attracted to a woman, he would never let her down.

The same is true for Zhao Pan'er this time. The mission is just the beginning, and meeting each other is the end.

"Master Hou, Sister Pan'er, you..."

Zhao Pan'er, who was in Zhou Chen's arms, broke away from Zhou Chen's arms nervously, stood up, and explained awkwardly: "Yin Zhang, I, we..."

Zhou Chen was very calm. Although he had just been chatting with Zhao Pan'er, he still heard Song Yinzhang's approaching footsteps, but it did not ruin the atmosphere at that time.

"Ms. Song, it's so late and you haven't slept yet."

Song Yinzhang looked sad: "Sister Pan'er, you and Mr. Hou are together?"

Zhao Pan'er anxiously walked up to Song Yinzhang and said, "Yinzhang, Mr. Hou and I do have a good impression of each other."

As a smart person like her, she could of course see that Song Yinzhang had different feelings for Zhou Chen, because when Zhou Chen was around, Song Yinzhang would always express himself deliberately to attract Zhou Chen's attention.

She had not thought about being with Zhou Chen before, but now, seeing Song Yinzhang's sad look, she didn't know how to persuade him.

Song Yinzhang didn't look at Zhao Pan'er, but looked at Zhou Chen.

"Master Hou, will you marry Sister Pan'er?"

Zhou Chen nodded and said: "Yes, I will marry her in a big sedan chair. The matchmaker is marrying her. She will be my wife, Zhou Chen, the eldest lady of the Zhongyong Hou Mansion."

Song Yinzhang felt a pain in her heart. Although she had known for a long time that a lowly prostitute like herself had no right to hope, but when Zhou Chen didn't say these words, she still had a little hope. She had never thought about it. She just wanted to become Zhou Chen's wife, even if she wanted to be a concubine, she would be willing to do so.

But now, Zhou Chen is going to marry her sister Pan'er, and she feels that she can't think about it anymore and can't ruin the relationship between Lord Zhou and sister Pan'er.

So she choked and said: "Sister Pan'er is the best. Mr. Hou, you will not regret marrying Sister Pan'er. I, I wish you all the best."

After saying that, she couldn't hold it back any longer, burst into tears, turned around and ran away.

"Introduction to the chapter, introduction to the chapter."

Zhao Paner wanted to chase, but was held back by Zhou Chen.

"She needs to be alone to calm down right now. It's not appropriate for you to follow her."

Zhao Pan'er gave him a hard look and snorted, "It's all your fault."

Zhou Chen complained: "How can you blame me for this? If you had promised me earlier and stayed with me, this kind of thing would never happen again."

"You also said that Yinzhang was very innocent to begin with. You once saved her, and then you were so kind to her, and you also helped her deregister. She would inevitably think too much about it."

"You also know that I treat her well for your sake. Do you still want me to treat her cruelly?"

Zhao Pan'er stopped talking, and she could understand why Zhou Chen was so good. Song Yinzhang happened to be the age of a young girl named Huaichun. When meeting such an outstanding man as Zhou Chen, it would be hard not to have a crush on him.

"Yinzhang, oh, I hope she's okay."

Zhou Chen said: "Then prepare your birth date and birth date tomorrow. I will come and get it in the evening, and then I will have someone combine it with your birth date."

Although he doesn't believe this, in this era, if you want to get married, the horoscopes must match. Even if he doesn't say it, Zhao Pan'er will definitely do it.

"Okay, then I'll wait for you tomorrow."

Now that she was determined to be with Zhou Chen, she no longer struggled, but she thought of one more thing.

"But the matter between me and Ouyang Xu is not completely over yet. If we are together, will it affect you?"

"Ouyang Xu?"

Zhou Chen looked disdainful. Now Ouyang Xu had no body left. However, he did not tell Zhao Pan'er what happened, but planned to wait until the news of Ouyang Xu's death reached Tokyo.

Early the next morning, Zhao Pan'er wanted to wake Song Yinzhang up, but when he arrived at Song Yinzhang's room, he found that the silver bottles were already being packed away.

"Yin Ping, where is the seal?"

"Girl, she went out early in the morning. I asked her where she was going, but she didn't tell me."

"okay, I get it."

Zhao Pan'er frowned slightly. She knew that Song Yinzhang must have felt uncomfortable because of what happened last night, so he didn't want to see her and went out early.

When they arrived and half-hidden the door, Song Yinzhang still didn't show up after opening the door for a long time. Sun Sanniang felt strange and asked Zhao Pan'er what was going on.

Nowadays, many of the customers who come here with half-covered faces are here for Song Yinzhang's pipa. If Song Yinzhang is not here, he will definitely be affected.

Zhao Pan'er told Sun Sanniang what happened last night, and Sun Sanniang sighed.

"Oh, I have long thought that this day would come. Yin Zhang is also a stupid boy. How could a big man like Lord Zhou treat us well for no reason? It's just for your sake, Pan'er. It's so obvious. But she couldn't see it, and instead fell into it herself."

"Pan'er, shouldn't Yin Zhang be angry with you, that's why she doesn't come to the store? Nothing will happen to her."

"I don't know either, but Yin Zhang has nowhere to go in Tokyo. She didn't come to our place. She must have gone to the Jiaofang Division. She should be fine."

Zhao Pan'er was also worried about Song Yinzhang, but she knew Song Yinzhang and knew that she would not run around.

Just as Zhao Pan'er thought, Song Yinzhang did go to Jiaofangsi early in the morning, because she really had no other place to go.

In the Jiaofang Department, she played music with a sad expression. When she thought of Sister Pan'er being with her favorite Lord Zhou, her heart could not calm down, and Qu Yue was also affected.

After finishing the song, a voice suddenly sounded: "Ms. Song seems to be in a bad mood today. The sound of the piano is full of sadness. Is this something difficult she has encountered?"

Song Yinzhang's face tightened, and he immediately hugged his pipa and stood up. He saw a man approaching slowly and bowed in salute.

"Master Shen."

This man was talented and personable. He was the author of the Tokyo Jiaofang Division, a high-ranking official. Song Yinzhang had met him when he first came to the Jiaofang Division, and he also met him several times when he came here, but she didn't think so. The impression was not very good, so I always kept a distance.

"Ms. Song, don't be nervous. I saw you alone here and felt worried, so I came here to say hello."

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

With that said, she walked past Shen Ruzhuo and wanted to leave, but Shen Ruzhuo suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm, which frightened her into hurriedly throwing it away.

The lonely moon in his hand slapped Shen Ruzhuo's arm, and Shen Ruzhuo screamed in pain.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. 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 must have been too cruel."

"I didn't mean it. You did it first, so I... I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it." Song Yinzhang apologized repeatedly.

"I'm hurt, can't you just say sorry? Madam Song, you are too cruel to me."

Shen Ruzhuo was actually in pain, and there was nothing wrong with it, but he just touched the porcelain deliberately and wanted to take the opportunity to get close to Song Yinzhang.
