Chapter 1003 Staying overnight, the storm is coming
Zhao Pan'er looked at Zhou Chen who stayed in his room and couldn't even get up from his bed. His face was full of helplessness and shyness, and he complained in his mouth.
"Why are you like this? This is my room."
Zhou Chen was lying on the bed, supporting his head with his hands, and said with a smile: "I know, it's not like I haven't stayed here before. I missed you this late at night, so I came here. I'm drunk now. Is it possible?"
You still want me to go that far back to the Marquis Mansion alone, aren't you worried?"
Zhao Pan'er rolled her eyes, not even a ghost believed this, but she still felt soft and did not refuse.
"You can stay and rest, but you are not allowed to mess around."
"What are you doing? I'm 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 frightened 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 still said that." But she also relaxed.
Zhou Chen was right, they had established their relationship a long time ago. If Zhou Chen really wanted her, she asked herself, and there was a high probability that she would not refuse.
"Master Hou, 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."
"Master Hou, thank you for being so kind to me." Zhao Pan'er said emotionally.
"I am good to you for a purpose. From now on, you will be the eldest wife of my loyal and brave Marquis Mansion. You have to manage the Marquis Mansion well for me, and you also have to worry about the courtesy exchanges between colleagues. You even have to deal with the queen and empresses in the palace.
This is not a simple and easy thing, but I believe that these will not be difficult for you."
Hearing Zhou Chen's words, Zhao Pan'er's expression changed a little, but she still replied resolutely: "As long as Mr. Hou believes in me, I will definitely be able to help Mr. Hou handle these matters, and I will not let him worry about the trivial matters of the back house.
trouble."
Since ancient times, men have taken the lead outside and women have taken the lead inside. Although Zhao Pan'er has never been married, she also knows a woman's responsibilities, so if she becomes Zhou Chen's wife, these are what she should do, so not only will she not
I will put off, but I am confident that I can do it well.
Zhou Chen gently scratched Zhao Pan'er's nose and said softly: "I believe you, Pan'er."
While speaking, Zhao Pan'er suddenly turned red and screamed, "Master Hou..."
Zhou Chen withdrew his hand calmly: "Oh, I don't know what's going on. This hand is a little out of control. Pan'er, don't worry."
Zhao Pan'er rolled her eyes again: "You know how to bully me."
"You are my eldest lady. If I don't bully you, then who should I bully?" Zhou Chen said righteously.
Zhao Pan'er rested her head on Zhou Chen's chest, hugged Zhou Chen with both hands, and had a happy smile on her face.
The two of them hugged each other and fell asleep after a while.
I don't know how much time passed, but Zhou Chen suddenly opened his eyes. Without disturbing Zhao Pan'er next to him, he gently moved her away, then got up from the bed and walked to the window.
The windows were closed, but the wind howled outside so violently that the doors and windows kept shaking.
"Bang, bang, dong, dong..."
"Master Hou, what's going on outside?"
Zhao Pan'er was also awakened by the sound, 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 has picked up, 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 also roughly judge the changes in the weather.
The wind came quickly and violently. It was obvious that this was a typhoon of a high level, but we didn't know how severe it would be.
"Stormy?"
Zhao Pan'er heard this and breathed a sigh of relief. It's just that what Tian Tian said was okay. It's not like she had never seen them before. They were in the room now, so there was nothing to worry about.
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. With weather like this, I don't know how many people will get into trouble."
He remembered the scene in the TV plot, where a huge storm destroyed Zhao Pan'er's half-hidden face, and finally Zhao Pan'er thought of expanding the scale and opening a restaurant.
According to the description in the plot, it was indeed a huge disaster. Although the casualties were not described, it is estimated that there must be a large number of people who died and were affected by the disaster.
Nice tea house buildings like the half-shielded buildings were destroyed in the storm, not to mention other private houses.
This is true within the city of Tokyo, but the towns and villages outside the city will definitely be more severely affected.
Zhou Chen is not the kind of saint who is compassionate and compassionate, but when he thinks that countless people will suffer because of this natural disaster, his heart is extremely heavy and depressed.
In front of nature, human beings are really too fragile.
"Will it be that serious?"
Zhao Pan'er was surprised. She didn't quite understand what Zhou Chen said, but looking at Zhou Chen's expression, she knew that the storm must be 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 courtyard. At first, it was just very windy, but soon, it was accompanied by raindrops, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and the wind became stronger and stronger.
With violent storms, lightning and thunder, it was originally dark, but now it has become darker. Only when there is lightning and thunder, can you see the light.
They stood in front of the window, some distance from the outside of the courtyard, but even so, rainwater was blown over. You can imagine how heavy the rain was.
"It's getting bigger and bigger."
Zhao Pan'er's expression became more and more solemn. Even though she had lived for more than twenty years, she had never seen such a violent storm several times. What was even more frightening was that the storm continued and became stronger and stronger.
Now she somewhat understood Zhou Chen's worries just now. If it continues like this, it will indeed cause a very serious disaster.
and……
"Sister Pan'er, Sister Pan'er..."
Zhao Pan'er hurriedly walked to the door. As soon as she opened the door, a strong wind blew the door open. She even took a step back uncontrollably.
Song Yinzhang took the silver bottle and rushed in hurriedly. Just as the three women were about to close the door, they saw Sun Sanniang 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.
"Master Zhou, you are here too."
Sun Sanniang was a little surprised, and then she tightened her clothes. She just heard the noise and ran over in a hurry, and her clothes were blown to pieces.
Song Yinzhang and Yin Ping also hurriedly saluted Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen said: "I came to talk to you Pan'er. Just as I was about to leave, a storm started. Now I can't leave even if I want to."
"oh."
The three women were too sensible to ask any questions. As for whether it was such a thing, they knew it well.
Song Yinzhang leaned against Zhao Pan'er with some fear: "Sister Pan'er, this storm is too scary, especially the thunder, it's so scary."
Yin Ping nodded wildly at the side. She was Song Yinzhang's maid and lived next to Song Yinzhang. When there was a thunder, she ran into Song Yinzhang's room. Both the master and the servant were so frightened that they could only run away.
Come to Zhao Pan'er to seek comfort.
Sun Sanniang was not too scared, but her expression was solemn. Such a big storm was indeed rare.
Zhao Pan'er said: "Since you don't dare to sleep, then just stay here. When the storm stops, you can go back to rest."
Of course the three girls will not have any objections. During the recent period, they have not opened the door even with half-masked faces. Apart from going out to buy groceries, they basically stay at home, so they are not tired, even if they don't rest for one night.
, no problem either.
However, in this small room, except for Zhou Chen, the only other people in the room were women, so the atmosphere suddenly became weird.
But Zhou Chen had no intention of leaving. After finding a seat, he sat down cross-legged and started practicing.
Zhao Pan'er and the other girls said this in a low voice. Seeing that Zhou Chen remained silent, their voices gradually became louder.
The storm outside was getting bigger and bigger, maybe because more people gathered together, or because of Zhou Chen's presence, so the women in the house were not afraid.
Two hours passed in a blink of an eye, but the storm outside still did not end. Instead, it became more and more intense. The girls were all affected by the storm and stopped even chatting. 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 no worse than an ordinary storm.
The amount of rainfall in just a few hours was already astonishing. The ground outside the yard was already filled with water, and the pond was already overflowing.
Zhou Chen took the girls out of the room and stood in the pavilion, looking at the situation outside. Their yard was in a good location and the house was well built. But even so, there were some areas that were damaged, especially the gardens and lawns.
suffered devastating damage.
"I don't know how many families will be displaced by this storm." Zhao Pan'er sighed with a solemn expression.
Sun Sanniang looked nervous: "Pan'er, will something happen to our half-covered shop?"
Zhao Pan'er's expression changed and she said anxiously: "No, Zhao Di is still living with her face partially covered."
Ge Zhaodi was the clerk they later hired. Although the store had closed before, they did not fire Ge Zhaodi. They still kept her and agreed to let Ge Zhaodi live in Banzhanmian.
Zhou Chen consoled him: "There's no point in worrying now. Let's go over and take a look when the storm stops."
He knew that the half-covered face would be destroyed under the storm, but Ge Zhaodi was probably not a fool. If she encountered danger, she would probably find a way to save herself.
It wasn't until past morning that the storm completely stopped. Zhou Chen was also concerned about the situation in the Hou Mansion, so after the storm stopped, he separated from Zhao Pan'er and the others. He returned to the Hou Mansion, while Zhao Pan'er and the others went to half-cover their faces.
Zhou Chen quickly returned to the Hou Mansion and found that the Hou Mansion was already busy. In such a large Hou Mansion, there were many places where water accumulated and needed to be cleaned.
The official Uncle Yan was called and learned that the condition of the Hou Mansion was good. Only the woodshed and stables had partially collapsed. The rest of the house was damaged and leaking at most, but there was no major loss.
As for the personnel, there were no casualties, which made Zhou Chen relieved.
There was nothing serious in Zhou Chen's Zhongyong Hou Mansion, but Zhao Pan'er and the others suffered a disaster with their half-covered faces. When they felt the horse walking on the street, they saw a mess, with collapsed houses everywhere, and injured people lying on the ground, crying and crying.
The tearful people are waiting.
On Ma Xing Street, many shops were in shambles and suffered heavy losses. When they arrived and half-hidden their faces, the women fell silent.
The half-covered house had already collapsed and was in a mess. Many things in the house had been blown to unknown places. It could be said to have suffered devastating damage.
Zhao Paner and the girls shed tears of sadness. Although the half-masked masks have not been used for several days, they have a deep affection for this place. They relied on this teahouse to stay in Tokyo. This is
They have worked hard for this industry for a long time.
Now that everything has almost returned to zero, one can imagine the sadness in my heart.
However, compared with the despair in the TV plot, although Zhao Pan'er is sad now, it is not despair, because this tea house is very important to her, but now she has a more important person in her heart, so even if half of her life is gone,
Even if her face is covered, she won't feel desperate or afraid.
"Pan'er, this half-covered face is so ruined. Even if we want to repair it, it will take a long time."
Compared to Zhao Pan'er, Sun Sanniang is even more sad. Unlike Zhao Pan'er, she is different from Zhao Pan'er. Zhao Pan'er now has an official marriage, and Zhou Chen is her backstage, but she is only one person. Without the half-covered face, she has 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."
I saw Ge Zhaodi running over in embarrassment. When she saw Zhao Pan'er and the others, she cried: "The storm last night was really too big. I couldn't save this place at all, so I had to hide. I'm sorry, sister Pan'er, I couldn't."
I'm sorry to save this place for you."
Zhao Pan'er hugged her and comforted her: "It's okay, Zhaodi, it has nothing to do with you. If you fall down with half-covered face, you'll be fine."
"But……"
Ge Zhaodi was very sad. Although she had not stayed in Banzhelian for a long time, the ladies were very kind to her. She gradually regarded Banzhelian as her home. Now that Banzhelian was ruined, she really
It's extremely sad.
"It doesn't matter. In the worst case, we can start over again. It'll be fine."
The women walked into the ruins and began to search for useful objects to see if there was anything they could salvage.
But unfortunately, except for some items that are not easily damaged, most of the items were destroyed and can no longer be used.
The women just tidied it up for a while and then stopped tidying it up, because there really weren't many things worth tidying up.
After walking out with half-masked faces, Zhao Pan'er looked at the neighbors around her. The situation of the neighbors was not much better, and many of them were even worse than them with half-masked faces.
The streets were in chaos, with many people sitting on the ground sad and sad. In short, the faces of most people showed despair and numbness.
This is Tokyo City, and it’s the inner city. It’s already so miserable here, so what will happen in the outer city, outside the city?
Zhao Pan'er shook his head and did not dare to continue thinking about it.
Suddenly, there was chaos all 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 and take a look."
After being busy for such a long time, Sun Sanniang also looked away. When she saw the excitement, she pulled Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang over to take a look.
When they squeezed in from the crowd, they saw Chi Pan, whom they had a quarrel with, being bullied by a group of people from the yamen on the other side of the pier.
