Oil Paper Umbrella and Tofu Brain

Before entering the house, Ah Huan, who was watching at the door, rushed out to welcome him, announcing the trivial matters at home.Shen Muyuan went straight back to the room and asked Ah Huan to prepare water for a bath, for fear that he would run into Master Shen and the Eldest Young Master on the way, and he would inevitably be reprimanded.

Ah Huan waited for the young master to rest, before he could step back, he suddenly remembered the bowl of cold snacks in the study, and asked casually, "By the way, young master, when I delivered the things to the young master in the east of the city in the morning, He asked me to bring you a bowl of tofu nao for breakfast. I'm afraid I can't eat it right now, so why don't I just throw it away?"

Shen Muyuan was taken aback, frowned, waved his hands carelessly, and sent A Huan away.Today's lie, I'm afraid it would have been exposed if it came out, so it's no wonder that Gu Bai was annoyed at him.If they are really brothers, then why bother to cover up such a small matter, it would just make Gu Bai misunderstand that he doesn't like him for no reason.

After thinking about it in a mess, he hurriedly summoned Ah Huan back, and said, "My lord, I just finished taking a bath, and I happen to be a little hot. Help me bring the tofu brain, I suddenly want to eat it."

Ah Huan let out a cry of surprise.

"Not yet." Shen Muyuan felt impatient and couldn't explain why.

"Master, you have to reheat it before eating."

"No need, it won't taste the same when it's hot."

Willfully drinking down a bowl of cool tofu nao, Shen Muyuan tossed and turned in the middle of the night without falling asleep.At night, I caught some cold and felt dizzy.Woke up at dawn the next day, and found that it was raining lightly again, and the room was a bit colder than before, so I wrapped the quilt tightly and decided to sleep late.

Ah Huan has been living in fear for the past few days.First, the young master contracted a cold, and the disease became more and more serious day by day.What's even more frightening is that the young master fell ill this time, and by the way, his temper also developed, and even a trivial matter could make him fly into a rage.Ah Huan felt that he was living on the tip of a knife.But after a few days, as the master's caring little padded jacket, he can somewhat figure out the reason.

For example, early this morning, Ah Huan brought breakfast and a bowl of dark concoction to serve the young master to take medicine.Shen Muyuan sat up wrapped in the quilt, his eyes swept across the nourishing porridge that had been stewed all morning in the kitchen, and said coldly in a nasal voice, "He also said that he would bring me a bowl of tofu brain every day, and now four days have passed, even He didn't even look at anyone. Asked for my letter, he turned his face and didn't recognize anyone." After speaking, without waiting for Ah Huan to reply, he took the medicine and drank it himself, turned over, covered his head, and lay down. He didn't move a mouthful.

Although Ah Huan felt that the son's words were childish, he was also worried about his body.Helpless, he sighed and shook his head, put away the bowl and backed out.At noon and evening, the master and the eldest son Yifan both visited the second son twice, and invited a doctor to take his pulse again, saying that the cold air had subsided, which was a sign of improvement.

The disease is gradually getting better, but the person is still listless and has no energy.

The next morning, Shen Muyuan was woken up by A Huan, still a little confused.He still reached out to get the medicine bowl on the tray.As soon as his hand touched the edge of the bowl, he was able to stop, and his eyes were dazzling.

"He's here?" He happily picked up the bowl of tofu nao that he had been thinking about day and night, and took a big spoonful of it into his mouth.

"Young master, I think about this tofu brain so much, I went to Dongxiangkou on purpose this morning."

Before he swallowed the smooth tofu nao in his mouth, Shen Muyuan's expression became a little sluggish.

Ah Huan said again, "I wanted to buy it, but I didn't see Young Master Gu Bai setting up a stall, so I found the way I helped him deliver books last time and went to his house. Only then did I know that he hasn't been out these days." Passing through the door, Young Master sent so many books, he said he couldn’t read them all, because he didn’t have the heart to go out and do other things these days.” Shen Muyuan listened to Ah Huan talking about the man’s recent situation while eating tofu nao. .

"So when I went there, Mr. Gu didn't make any tofu nao. Hearing that you wanted to eat it, he hurried to make it, and he refused to accept a small amount of money. Mr. Gu made this specially for you. If there is, I will take it back and let them heat it carefully, the young master needs to eat more today."

Shen Muyuan heard that it was specially made for him, and his heart became a little brighter.Ah Huan looked at the young master's ever-changing face, and thought to himself, the young master really values ​​love and righteousness.Thinking about the poor and poor in Gu Bai's family, although the young master only recognized this brother verbally, he really felt at ease about this little brother who had no relatives and no reason.The words just came to his lips, but he didn't utter them, the thief secretly smiled, and thought he would give the young master a surprise tomorrow.

Gu Bai's tofu nao is probably more effective than the doctors in Huichuntang. After one dose, the food tastes better and the voice is full.After lunch, Ah Huan stopped his son who was thinking of going out to find Gu Bai.Not to mention the heavy rain outside, the young master's health is still not fully recovered.Mr. Gu said that he would come to visit tomorrow, so it's not expensive to rush there today.It's just that it's hard for Ah Huan to say what's going on behind the scenes.

With a cold face, Shen Muyuan sat at the door and waited for the rain to stop.It didn't stop until Dad and old friends came back from the dinner, and it didn't stop until the elder brother closed the shop and came home.So he had no choice but to give up, poured the last bowl of medicine, and went to sleep sleepily.

Woke up early the next morning, the morning light came in through the window paper, and I could occasionally see the silhouette of a bird passing by the window.Shen Muyuan nestled under the blanket in a daze, listening to the sound of the night rain suddenly stopping and the residual rain falling from the eaves into the courtyard.My mind was empty and chaotic.

Hearing the sound of Ah Huan pushing the door open, he also got up and asked calmly, "Did father and elder brother both go out?"

Ah Huan served the young master to take the medicine, and replied, "Master and eldest young master both went to the shop early this morning, there must be a batch of new goods on the market, so I'm a little busy."

Shen Muyuan put down the medicine bowl, and frowned bitterly. Seeing that there was no breakfast, he joked, "Why is there no tofu nao today?"

Ah Huan smiled, "Mr. Gu Bai personally brought the tofu brain and is waiting outside."

Shen Muyuan got off the bed, unable to hide his surprise, "Gu Bai is here? Hurry up and ask him to come in!"

Ah Huan was hurriedly urged by the young master, and he didn't have time to remind him to wash and change his clothes first.Gu Baiben was standing outside the house, vaguely heard Shen Muyuan's voice, came in with a smile on his eyes, "Brother Mu Yuan, I didn't know you were sick, I should have come to see you earlier."

Ah Huan retreated tactfully.Shen Muyuan hurriedly invited Gu Bai to sit down, and sat on the stool next to him, pouring tea courteously. "Have you been told to wait for a long time?" Glancing at the fruits on the table to eat, he said angrily, "I just came here, why did you bring these things, it cost you money for nothing."

Gu Bai brought tofu nao to Shen Muyuan to eat, and only responded, "I just arrived, so I didn't wait."

Shen Muyuan was not polite either, and started to eat with a whimper.Gu Bai's warm and considerate appearance is really helpful.Shen Muyuan thought of making him unhappy a few days ago, so he couldn't help but put down the bowl.She narrowed her eyes and put on a pitiful expression, "I was wrong a few days ago, talking nonsense to make you uncomfortable."

Gu Bai laughed, "Brother Mu Yuan, don't you make me look even more petty? Actually, I was already very happy when you sent me the book. But I didn't know how to be grateful, and turned into a childish temper. Brother Mu Yuan, you are not joking. I'm fine."

With excitement in Shen Muyuan's eyes, he grasped Gu Bai's hand, "So, you don't annoy me anymore?"

Gu Bai Yuguang glanced at the grasped hand, feeling a little uncomfortable, but it was difficult to retract it.He laughed and said, "Don't dare. I hope Brother Mu Yuan won't take it to heart."

Shen Muyuan started to grab his hand a little recklessly, and he himself was taken aback.But when I caught it, I couldn't help it, and I couldn't help touching it a few more times, pretending to be sincere and brotherly.

After the two settled their suspicions, Shen Muyuan's life became extremely comfortable.Get up early every day, report to the Zhijing Bridge at the entrance of the East Lane, and help Gu Bai with his business after breakfast by himself. Bai's small stalls are famous, so the business of tofu nao is booming day by day.Many classmates and friends came to join in the show, and there were many beauties who sent their maids or directly brought their maids up early in the morning to seek chance encounters.After closing the morning market, the two of them pushed the cart back together, and had another lunch at Gu Bai's house.When Shen Muyuan went back with him on the first day, he saw that the two characters "Fu" on the door had already been replaced by his masterpiece.He hugged Gu Bai's shoulder happily, causing Gu Bai to be embarrassed.

In the afternoon, Gu Bai wanted to study in peace, so Shen Muyuan went to his various shops to check the account books and order the goods.When I came across two batches of good fabric, I sent a tailor to make two sets according to Gu Bai's size.

Naturally, Master Shen and Eldest Young Master would often meet Shen Muyuan who was concentrating on reading the ledger in a certain shop, and they were all delighted.Master Shen, in particular, was deeply moved.As the saying goes, it really is true that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black.I think this kid is like a dude on weekdays, and when he was a playboy, he never made progress.Now, after spending a few days with that poor boy named Gu Bai, he has cultivated a sense of responsibility to some extent, and he is indeed a lot more diligent and stable.
