Volume 6: Dream Record Chapter 400: Arrival in Tokyo
After staying in Huating County for a few days and waiting for Sun Sanniang's health to improve, Yuan Xudong asked someone to arrange a post carriage and started to rush to Tokyo.
The post carriage sped all the way to Tokyo. Inside the carriage, Zhao Pan'er leaned against the window with a gloomy look on her face.
Outside the car window, it was dusk and the setting sun was just right. It was such a beautiful day, but Zhao Pan'er's mood was as cold as ice. She had no anticipation or excitement about meeting Ouyang Xu. She had changed her mind. She had fallen in love with Yuan Xudong. She liked how bad he was to her, but also how kind he was to her. She even hoped that Ouyang Xu would marry someone else for wealth and glory, just as Uncle De had said.
Not knowing what Zhao Pan'er was thinking, seeing her unhappy face, Yuan Xudong thought she was worried that she would not be able to arrive in Tokyo before Grain Rain, so that she could meet Ouyang Xu before he married Gao's daughter. Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable and said lightly:
"It is still eight days away from Grain Rain. The government carriage will change horses and passengers at every stop. It should be able to reach Tokyo within seven days. By then, you will be able to see Ouyang Xu. You should be happy!"
"I'm not unhappy!"
Zhao Paner was furious after taking a look at the unhappy Yuan Xudong. This idiot was just jealous of Ouyang Xu. Thinking of this, Zhao Paner also became unhappy and raised her voice:
"Xiao Fan, what do you want from me? If you think I shouldn't go to Tokyo and see Ouyang Xu, then why did you arrange the fastest post carriage for me? If you think I should go to Tokyo and see Ouyang Xu, why are you telling me all this?"
"What did I tell you?"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who suddenly got angry at him, Yuan Xudong was a little confused and said:
"I helped you arrange the fastest post carriage. Am I wrong?"
"You are wrong!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner suddenly spoke unreasonably.
"What did I do wrong?"
Yuan Xudong also glared at Zhao Pan'er and said very unconvincedly.
"You are wrong!"
"What did I do wrong?"
"You're a fool!"
"You are a fool!"
"You're stupid!"
“You are ignorant!”
“You are shameless!”
"You're mean!"
"I'm mean?"
Seeing Yuan Xudong scolding her harshly, Zhao Paner suddenly felt a surge of anger in her heart. She suddenly stood up, threw herself on Yuan Xudong, and beat and scolded him:
"You are mean, you are shameless, despicable, and unreasonable. You have no morals, you cheat and then abandon me, you are unfaithful and ungrateful. None of you men are good!"
"Pan'er, calm down!"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who suddenly exploded, Yuan Xudong was confused and said:
"Pan'er, I'm just joking with you. I didn't really mean that you were mean. Can you calm down a little?"
"Bad guy, I'll beat you to death!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who was now saying that he was joking, Zhao Paner became even more angry and said:
"Who is joking with you? Do you think you are still a child who has not grown up?"
Looking at the furious Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong added fuel to the fire and said with a smile:
"You are twenty-four and I am only eighteen. You are six years older than me. Am I not just a child in front of you?"
As soon as the voice fell, Zhao Pan'er blushed and angrily retorted:
"Who told you I was twenty-four?"
"How old are you, then?"
Yuan Xudong asked following Zhao Paner's words.
"I, won't tell you!"
"It's fine if you don't tell me. You are older than me anyway. In front of you, I am just a child who hasn't grown up yet!"
"you……"
"Okay, okay, Pan'er, you should get some sleep. We still have to be on the road for seven days!"
Seeing Zhao Pan'er and Yuan Xudong quarreling, Sun Sanniang was worried that she would really have a conflict , so she reminded her. Hearing this, Zhao Pan'er glared at Yuan Xudong for the last time, and then she fell asleep on the carriage like Yinping Yatou, Song Yinzhang, and Sun Sanniang. That night, there was a storm with lightning and thunder, and the carriage was still moving forward with difficulty in the wind and rain. Yuan Xudong got out of the carriage and shouted:
"Driver, please drive faster and get to the next post station to rest!"
Hearing this, the driver shook his head, his voice drowned out by the storm:
"Sir, the rain is too heavy. I can't see the road ahead clearly. I can't go any faster!"
"Okay, safety first, just watch out for yourself and hurry on!"
"Okay!"
Yuan Xudong returned to the carriage and looked at Song Yinzhang, Zhao Paner, Sun Sanniang, and Yinping, who were a little scared of thunder, and consoled them:
"Don't be afraid, we'll be at the post station soon. Rest here tonight!"
"good!"
…
There were thunder and lightning outside the post carriage, and the wind and rain were raging. Song Yinzhang and Yinping girl hugged each other, screaming in fear from time to time. At this moment, another thunder rumbled and exploded, still ringing in their ears. Song Yinzhang and Yinping girl screamed in fear and quickly hid in Yuan Xudong's arms. Song Yinzhang was even more frightened and trembled, and said in a trembling voice:
"Fan Lang, I'm scared!"
"Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Yuan Xudong hugged Song Yinzhang and Yinping, who were frightened by the thunder, and then looked at Zhao Paner and Sun Sanniang, who were also a little scared, and said with a smile:
"How about you two hide in here too?"
"Bah!"
After glaring at Yuan Xudong, Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang hugged each other and said stubbornly:
"It's just thunder. Why should I be afraid?"
"Yeah?"
Looking at the stubborn Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, Yuan Xudong took out his cell phone from the dimensional space, raised a slight smirk and said:
"Pan'er, do you want to watch a movie? It's a story about the growth of a little girl with a miserable life. Her name is Sadako. Do you want to watch it?"
"OK!"
Hearing that there was a movie to watch, Zhao Pan'er was quite excited and hurriedly explained to Song Yinzhang, Sun Sanniang, and Yinping girl who didn't know what the movie was. Before she finished explaining, Yuan Xudong turned on his mobile phone and started playing his collector's edition of the movie, The Growth of Little Sadako. The mobile phone screen, which emitted a faint fluorescent light, instantly attracted the attention of everyone except Yuan Xudong.
…
“Ahhh~~”
“Ahhh~~”
“Woo woo~~”
"Ghost~~"
Soon, a series of screams and women's crying rang out in the carriage. Yuan Xudong never thought that little Sadako could be so powerful. The four women were all scared and hid in his arms and trembled. Yinping girl was so scared that she started crying and hugged Yuan Xudong's arm tightly and refused to let go. There was really no other way, so Yuan Xudong played a movie of Titanic, which finally diverted the attention of the four women. Seeing such a huge steel ship, the four women were amazed. When the scene played to Jack teaching Rose to drive, the four women blushed again. Sun Sanniang even spat and cursed:
"This foreign woman is really shameless. Not only did she have an affair with a strange man, she also... and... I can't even say it..."
"Does this man want to deceive her, just like Zhou She?"
Song Yinzhang asked.
"I think so. This man will definitely have a bad ending, just like Zhou She. He will be caught by the county magistrate, beaten with a stick, tattooed with a word and exiled three thousand miles away!"
Yin Ping responded.
"He shouldn't be lying to her. This guy should really like her!"
Zhao Paner couldn't help but interrupt.
…
In the following days, the post carriage sped all the way to Tokyo. Due to the tiring journey, Yuan Xudong would occasionally show a movie to entertain the four women.
That evening, the post carriage was still speeding on the road, and a towering city was faintly visible in the distance. Inside the post carriage, Yuan Xudong and four women were lying in a mess, sleeping in a ball.
"Sir, Tokyo is just ahead!"
Hearing Xiao Yan's voice, Yuan Xudong immediately woke up. He lifted the curtain and took a look. The post carriage was entering Tokyo City through Xuanhua Gate.
"Wake up, wake up, Tokyo is just ahead!"
"Are you in Tokyo?"
"Really? In Tokyo?"
"Really? Tokyo City is just ahead!"
Yuan Xudong woke up Zhao Paner and several other girls.
The post carriage passed through the moat and three city gates in turn and drove towards Tokyo. Zhao Pan'er and Sun Sanniang, Song Yinzhang and Yinping girl, each leaned against a window, admiring this extremely prosperous city with amazement.
The tall city gates, willows along the river, and pink walls and red houses along the way were already too much for them to take in, but the wide streets in the inner city, the bustling markets, and the ladies coming and going, all shocked them deeply. There were lights from thousands of homes, crowds of people, and fireworks all over the sky. There was music and singing on both sides of the Bian River, and cruise ships were everywhere on the water, with ripples of colorful reflections. Vendors and geishas were hawking their wares all the time. It was a prosperous scene!
"Come and have a look at the sachets and scent bags!"
"Okay, great, one more!"
…
After getting off the post carriage, Yuan Xudong walked on Zhuque , while Xiao Yan returned to the Xiao Mansion first.
Looking at the performers, dragon and lion dances, musicians, storytellers, and all kinds of small vendors, shops, wine shops, foot shops, inns, brothels, etc., Sun Sanniang opened her mouth wide for a long time. Song Yinzhang also had a dazed look in his eyes and sighed softly:
“It’s so beautiful, just like a painting!”
"It's so lively, there are so many people in Tokyo!"
The maid Yinping sighed, which only caused Sun Sanniang to laugh at her:
"Are you not tired now?"
"Not tired anymore!"
The girl Yinping smiled and shook her head. She, Song Yinzhang, and Sun Sanniang gathered together, looking around and having a great time. Compared with the three of them, Zhao Pan'er was in a low mood, and her face was still unhappy. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong said lightly:
"There is a Sanyuan Inn nearby, not far from Gao's house. Let's stay there for one night. Tomorrow morning, I will take you to Gao's house to ask Ouyang Xu in person, okay?"
"Okay, let's go!"
Looking at Yuan Xudong who knew nothing, Zhao Paner said angrily:
"I can't wait to meet Ouyang. This must be Uncle De's idea. I believe Ouyang will not betray me!"
"snort!"
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was thinking about Ouyang Xu all day, Yuan Xudong led the way to Sanyuan Inn, snorted coldly and said angrily:
"Zhao Pan'er, I let you meet Ouyang Xu before Grain Rain because I like you and I don't want you to have anything to do with him anymore. It's also because I like you, but this doesn't mean you can be arrogant. I like you, but that's not a reason for you to act recklessly!"
"I am spoiled and arrogant? I am willful and reckless?"
Looking at the arrogant Yuan Xudong, Zhao Paner said angrily:
"Why am I so willful? And who asked you to pamper me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhao Pan'er seemed to realize that her words were ambiguous, and quickly changed her words:
"What I mean is that I'm not being willful and you don't spoil me!"
This still sounded a bit strange. Before Yuan Xudong could speak, Zhao Paner changed her words and said:
"No, I mean, I'm not willful and you don't need to spoil me. Don't spoil me, or don't spoil me?"
Looking at the somewhat confused Zhao Pan'er, Yuan Xudong suppressed his laughter and said:
"Okay, I get it. I won't spoil you anymore in the future. I'll beat you when you need to, scold you when you need to, and use family rules when it's time to do so!"
"Bah!"
Hearing the words "family law", Zhao Pan'er couldn't help but blush and said angrily:
“Shameless!”
Looking at Zhao Pan'er who was rather embarrassed and annoyed, Yuan Xudong grinned deliberately and said:
"Look, not only do I have teeth, but they're also very white and healthy!"
“Scum!”
