"Pan'er, what do you think about our marriage... being postponed until the end of the year?" Ouyang Xu asked.
"Of course it's no problem. I'm not in a hurry right now. By the way, what official position did the imperial court grant you?"
"How can it be so fast? Not long after the Qionglin Banquet was held, the Jinshi had to meet with the Tian family before they could be officially awarded official positions. If they don't get actual positions, they can't be regarded as real officials."
"Pan'er, it's precisely because of this that I...have to wrong you." Ouyang Xu said with evasive eyes.
Zhao Pan'er looked at him with confusion.
"Pan'er, I will definitely give you the grandest wedding, but all this will have to wait half a year after I get married to that lady from the Gao family."
Zhao Pan'er's expression changed drastically, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
"What did you say? Say it again?" Zhao Paner asked again, not wanting to believe what her ears heard.
"All this will have to wait until half a year after I get married to that lady from the Gao family. I...I know I have wronged you, but you have always been virtuous, so you won't care, right?" Ouyang Xu was so shameless. asked.
Zhao Paner's body went limp.
Ouyang Xu continued: "Pan'er, you are good at everything. It's just that you are a little bit behind in your background. After all, you once belonged to a humble family. If someone finds out, they won't be able to hide it no matter what."
"I only learned this after I became a Jinshi. As a scholar-official, I can't have any flaws. Pan'er, you don't want to be a stain on me, right? What's more, I can't do anything at Gao Kuan's place no matter what. Can’t afford to offend.”
Zhao Pan'er smiled sadly and stood up unsteadily.
Seeing her like this, Ouyang Xu said again: "Pan'er, I have never forgotten the three lives we promised in front of the Buddha. I just can't make you my wife, but don't worry, even if I marry Gao Shi, I won’t let you be affected at all.”
"I will never let you humble yourself in front of her. I will let you live in another house without any disturbance. In the future, your children can also be recorded in the name of the main wife."
Zhao Pan'er sneered: "Do you still want my child to consider someone else as your mother in the future?"
"This is just a false name. We are our own flesh and blood. Are you still afraid of not being filial to you in the future?" Ouyang Xu spread his hands and said with a smile.
"Pan'er, for the sake of our good life in the future and for the sake of my official status, please give in a little bit on your status, okay?"
Zhao Pan'er's eyes were red, and she suppressed her sadness and said in a cold voice: "No, Ouyang Xu, do you think too highly of yourself? Or do you underestimate me, Zhao Pan'er? You brought me here specifically because you were afraid of me. Making a scene in front of the Gao family will ruin your good marriage, right?"
"If you change your mind, please just say it. No need to beat around the bush. It's really disgusting that you said you went around in such a big circle!"
"I haven't changed my mind. I can swear to God now that the only woman I love is you. I just have no choice. Can't you be considerate of me?" Ouyang Xu said.
"Ha... for your last resort, you can break your promise, repent and remarry. I traveled thousands of miles to come here to find you, but you tell me this, this Tokyo is really rich and charming, and deep and affectionate. You don't deserve to drink it. My tea!”
After saying that, Zhao Paner picked up the two cups of tea in front of him and poured them on the floor in front of Ouyang Xu.
After doing all this, Zhao Pan'er strode away, leaving Ouyang Xu with an expression on his face that kept changing and became increasingly ugly.
The three people sitting in the restaurant opposite, the moment they noticed something was wrong in the atmosphere, Ying Zhu used his inner strength to perform a special skill and heard it all.
"This Ouyang Xu is not a good girl." Ying Zhu cursed angrily.
Huang Rong and Mu Guiying hurriedly asked, "What's going on?"
Ying Zhu told the two of them everything he heard. After hearing everything, the two women hated Ouyang Xu.
"If I were not in Tokyo at this time, I would definitely kill this piece of shit." Mu Guiying cursed bitterly.
"The same goes for me. If I find a chance, I will definitely break all the bones in his body with the snap of my fingers." Huang Rong said through gritted teeth.
"You two will go back to your room to rest after eating. I'll go find Zhao Pan'er. After all, he is the person I believe will be in charge of the tea industry for me in the future. There can be no accidents." Ying Zhu said.
"Brother, please comfort her, but remember to use caution and never let any words irritate her."
"Don't worry about this."
... ...
On an unknown bridge in Tokyo, Zhao Pan'er held the stone bridge railing with both hands and stared quietly at the river.
"What a coincidence. Isn't this the lady who is the shopkeeper of Zhao's Tea Shop?"
Hearing the sound, Zhao Pan'er looked back and saw Ying Zhu standing on the stone steps, looking at him with a smile and a little surprise.
"Are you in Tokyo too?" Zhao Pan'er said with a forced smile.
"I thought you really planned to just stay there and run a small tea shop. I didn't expect that we would meet again in Tokyo because of such a fate. However, you seem to be in a bad mood. Is it because you didn't find a good shop in Tokyo?"
"No, because of some small things."
"Mrs. shopkeeper, do you have some free time? Why don't you and I take a walk? I'll accompany you to relax, and I can also give you some advice. What do you think?"
Zhao Paner thought for a moment and nodded.
The two of them strolled along the riverside.
"Can I call you Mrs. Zhao?" Ying Zhuxiao asked.
"of course."
"When did Madam Zhao come to Tokyo?"
"Just arrived in the past few days."
"Oh. Tokyo, at first glance, seems like a nice place, but this place is not practical, unrealistic, and focuses too much on the surface. It does look okay now, but over time, under the cover of this superficial prosperity, there will be How much filth and filth it creates.”
Zhao Pan'er's steps paused slightly.
Ying Zhu looked sideways and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just feel like you're right. Tokyo is really not a suitable place."
"Then Mrs. Zhao is not planning to open a teahouse in Tokyo? Then do you have any ideas to find another place? A place that may not be as prosperous as Tokyo, but is a hundred times or a thousand times more powerful."
"Oh? Is there such a place?"
"Of course there is. There are so many better places in this world than Tokyo."
"What about?" Zhao Pan'er asked.
"There is East Chang'an, there is South Luoyang, there is Jinling, there is Tai'an, there is Qingdu, and there is Shangjing."
"And the place I want to recommend you to go to is called Xianyang."
Zhao Pan'er blinked, opened her mouth slightly and said for a moment, "Isn't Xianyang the capital of Da Qin? I'm not familiar with Da Qin at all. There's nothing I can do there. It's better to go back to my little tea house."
"Do you still remember the business alliance I told you before?"
