Tofu Dongshi

With a thought, Zhen Zhigong stretched out his hand to put on Dou Jiafu's head, and rubbed his messy but unusually soft hair.He was a head taller than him, and this move was very natural, and it couldn't have been more convenient.

Dou Jiafu was stunned for a moment, his face became hot for no reason, and then he walked away, muttering uncomfortably: "I'm not a dog, what are you touching..."

Zhen Zhigong was also numb with goosebumps from his weird behavior, it seemed too intimate and ambiguous.

He coughed in disguise, and put his voice into judo: "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else, I just want to say that you rarely even eat meat once, but during the month I was here, you ate meat from time to time. Buy some fish to improve the food, and let me eat most of it. For this, I am, um, very grateful."

Young Master Zhen has lived so long, except for his closest and most trusted family members, he seldom lowered his attitude and said such emotional words, so he felt uncomfortable when he said it.

Dou Jiafu was obviously more uncomfortable than him. He rubbed his sweaty hands and said in a low voice, "That's okay, it's nothing...Anyway, anyway, I ate it myself. Besides, you don't eat it for nothing. You eat meat for nothing. Only when I have strength, the injury will heal quickly, and I can go to the county to save me."

Young Master Ben is certainly not an idiot!The corner of Zhen Zhigong's mouth twitched, and he said immediately: "Then what, three months ago, I suddenly left Yongping County and returned to Ningcheng, there is a reason."

Dou Jiafu didn't say a word, but his ears pricked up unconsciously.Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhen Zhigong's sudden refusal to say goodbye made him grieve all the time, even with the 1000 tael silver note.He has hands and feet and an ancestral craft. He can work and support himself, so he doesn't need others to give him alms.

"When I woke up that morning, I saw Uncle Zhou and Aunt Xiaolan—the wife of the county magistrate who just took office in Yongping County. Fortunately, you didn't pawn my jade pendant but gave it to Old Zhao, and Aunt Xiaolan saw it by accident, so they knew that I was put in prison. Later, Uncle Zhou said that my mother was in prison because of my disappearance. I couldn't afford to be sick, I was anxious, and I left immediately and returned to Ningcheng before I could see you. However, before I left, I had already explained to Aunt Xiaolan what happened before and after I was imprisoned. Aunt Xiaolan promised that I would send someone to release you immediately, so I can leave with peace of mind."

In the past, Young Master Zhen didn't need to explain anything to others, and now he didn't know what was wrong, so he had to explain everything clearly, otherwise he would feel like he was stuck in his throat and couldn't vomit.

It turned out to be like this... The heart disease that had been stagnant in Dou Jiafu's heart for three months healed without any medicine in an instant, and his whole body became comfortable.Well, although this guy is domineering and vile, he doesn't look like a person who has no responsibility and confession. It seems that there is a reason for the incident, and I blamed him by mistake.

Dou Jiafu was in a good mood, and then asked with concern: "Then how is your mother's illness now?"

"My mother is just too worried about my safety, and I will be fine soon after I go back."

"That's good."

Unknowingly, the tense atmosphere between the two men at first slowly eased.

It seems that a gentle policy must be implemented for this piece of tofu with a temper as hard as a rock, otherwise the effect will only be counterproductive.Zhen Zhigong took advantage of the victory to chase after him, and said again: "It's fine if you don't accept the 1000 taels of silver, but I must repay this favor. My young master can't let people poke my back and say that I am an ungrateful person." How about this, I live in your house for a month, and you come to my house for a month, so it's just a courtesy, isn't that all right?"

Dou Jiafu asked casually, "Do you want to be a cook for a month?"

Zhen Zhigong said embarrassingly: "Of course not, I just invited you as a guest, Uncle Zhou misunderstood me. But, heck, if you want to cook, I don't object, anyway, it's just by the way... "

Dou Jiafu curled his lips secretly, saying that he should be the cook, let him be a guest by the way.But, forget it, he doesn't care what happened, he promised to come to Ningcheng earlier and left immediately after arriving, it has nothing to do with this matter.

Zhen Zhigong asked again, looking at him with bright eyes: "How about it, why don't you stay?"

Speaking of this, the misunderstanding has been clarified. Although Dou Jiafu felt that it was inappropriate to live in Zhen's house, he couldn't find a reason to refuse. After a long while, he finally relaxed and said: "Well, I will live in your house for a while. Month, just one month."

Compared with the hot 1000 taels of silver, this one is barely acceptable.

Zhen Zhigong achieved his goal, and immediately smiled, right, that's how to be good.As for what will happen in a month, we will talk about it at that time. The key now is to keep people here first.

He took off and jumped onto the horse easily, then patted the position behind him and said, "Come up."

Dou Jiafu looked up at him blankly, Zhen Zhigong stretched out his right hand directly.Dou Jiafu was stunned for a moment, and hesitantly held the wide and slender palm.

Zhen Zhigong pulled a little harder, and after a whirlwind, Dou Jiafu sat firmly behind Zhen Zhigong amidst his own exclamation.

"Sit still, I'm not responsible for falling buttocks and falling petals!" Zhen Zhigong laughed loudly, and with a flick of the reins, the horse galloped forward.

This scoundrel is scary again!Dou Jiafu was both excited and nervous, he hurriedly hugged the thin and strong waist of the person in front of him, his heart was pounding.It was the first time in his life that he rode a horse, and it was completely different from riding in a carriage.The sound of the wind was whistling in my ears, my hair was flying in the wind, and I felt as if I was also flying in the air.

Zhen Zhigong looked down at the pair of small hands in front of him, the corners of his mouth curved up unconsciously, his whole body was a little light, and he seemed to be more excited than ever.

……

Zhou Fusheng was sitting in Zhen's house, waiting for the servants who had gone to various parts of Ningcheng to find Dou Jiafu to come back to report the news. Suddenly, he saw his young master riding a horse and strolling in through the side door, turning his head and talking behind him. The smile on the face is brighter than spring.

He rubbed his eyes and looked again, he took a deep breath, the one sitting behind the young master, riding with the young master, wasn't it Dou Jiafu?Be good, it seems that the young master really didn't invite that kid to be the cook.This kind of treatment, not to mention him, even the master and wife have never enjoyed it!

For a moment, Housekeeper Zhou didn't know what it was like, it was sour and spicy.

He didn't have time to sigh, he hurriedly went forward to pull the rein, and said flatteringly: "Young master, you are extraordinary when you go out on your own, and it's worth a lot of people I sent out."

"Of course." Zhen Zhigong never let go of the raised lips, he flew off the horse first, and then stretched out his hands towards Dou Jiafu.

The meaning is obvious, you jump off, I will follow you.

Dou Jiafu's face was on fire, it was fine when he got on the horse before, if he did it again in front of Steward Zhou, he would lose all his face.So, ignoring the hands that were eagerly waiting in the air, he imitated Zhen Zhigong's previous movement, raised his right leg, and jumped off the horse.Although the movements were far less chic and elegant than someone else's, they weren't too ugly, and they landed on the ground fairly steadily.

How dare you ignore this young master, how unbecoming... Zhen Zhigong resented, and stretched his arms in a gesture of stretching.

While Zhou Fusheng was secretly amused, he was even more surprised by his young master's attitude towards Dou Jiafu. Even if he is a lifesaver, it doesn't seem necessary to be like this, right?
