Tofu Dongshi

Zhen Zhigong was about to say something when a young servant ran over and said, "Eldest young master, the master has something to ask for you, and I want you to go to the study now."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Zhen Zhigong responded, and turned around to confess to Zhou Fusheng: "Uncle Zhou, take Xiaodoufu to have a rest first, don't let me let you go."

Zhou Fusheng solemnly promised: "Don't worry, young master!"

If Dou Jiafu can't be kept anymore, he doesn't have to be the big housekeeper anymore.

Zhen Zhigong told Dou Jiafu worriedly: "You rest for a while, and when I come back to find you, don't run around."

Seeing that Dou Jiafu nodded obediently, he hurried to the study.

In fact, Zhen Zhigong's exhortation was superfluous. Dou Jiafu didn't even know how to put his hands and feet into Zhen's house, and how could he run around, so he could only follow Zhou Fusheng's pace again.

Passing through a magnificent garden, a young man leisurely paced along a corridor opposite, wearing a dazzling silver-blue silk shirt, with a handsome face, a graceful figure, and a pair of eyes born with peach blossoms.

Zhou Fusheng immediately stopped, leaned forward and said, "Second young master."

The man in the blue shirt was Zhen Zhijing, the second young master of the Zhen family. He ignored Zhou Fusheng and just cast a sidelong glance at Dou Jiafu who was next to him.

Second young master?So he is Zhen Zhigong's younger brother?Dou Jiafu didn't know any rules, so although he was a bit cautious, he couldn't help raising his eyes to look at Zhen Zhijing curiously.

In terms of outline alone, the two brothers are about five points alike, but their temperament and demeanor are very different. Zhen Zhigong is more powerful and fierce, and his facial features are also tougher. The second young master has more refined eyebrows and a lazy and frivolous expression. It's not easy to look down on anything.

Dou Jiafu was analyzing and comparing the similarities and differences between the two brothers of the Zhen family in his mind, Zhen Zhijing raised his eyebrows, and said displeasedly: "Where are the country bumpkins, dressed so shabby, and come into the garden casually."

Dou Jiafu was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but he was indeed from the countryside. There are too many people calling him a country bumpkin, and he is almost numb now.Even Zhen Zhigong thought he was not pleasing to the eye at first and belittled him all day long, so he didn't care too much about Zhen Zhijing's attitude, he only replied sternly to the second young master's words: "Second young master, my name is Dou Jiafu, From Yongping County."

Zhen Zhijing was startled for a moment, and then, as if hearing some big joke, he thumped the pillar and laughed loudly regardless of his appearance.

Dou Jiafu was baffled, what's so funny about it, what did he say wrong?

After a long while, Zhen Zhijing laughed enough, and said lazily: "Although he looks ugly, he is still interesting. Old Zhou, where did you find such a treasure?"

Zhou Fusheng responded without hesitation: "Report to Second Young Master, Dou Jiafu is a guest invited by Eldest Young Master, and he will stay at our house for a month."

As soon as Zhen Zhijing heard the word "Eldest Young Master", the rolling eyes turned cold, and he said with a smile: "Oh, when did Big Brother become so hospitable, any flies and mosquitoes can be invited to our Zhen's house. That's good , Another day I will also study with my elder brother, and invite a few people to come and have fun." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away.

Dou Jiafu was really embarrassed now, and stood there blushing.Why is this second young master even more bad-tempered than the eldest young master, turning his face without saying anything, although he didn't swear openly, but it made people feel even more uncomfortable.

He doesn't want to come in and be a fly or a mosquito, okay?

Seeing that Zhen Zhijing was far away, Zhou Fusheng lowered his voice and said, "Brother Dou, don't take it to heart, the second young master has such a temper."

Dou Jiafu forced a smile and said, "Well, it's okay, I won't care."

What's the use of him even caring?I don't care about that second young master either.

He suddenly regretted that he promised Zhen Zhigong to stay as a guest.Back then, one Zhen Zhigong was enough for him to suffer, but now there is another Zhen Zhijing who is yin and yang, if everyone else in the Zhen family is like this, then coming here is not asking for trouble.

Alas, forget it, the water splashed by the words can't be provoked or hidden.Anyway, it's only a month, short is not too short, long is not too long, he stays calm, talks less and moves less, tries not to deal with the noble masters of the Zhen family, it shouldn't cause any trouble, right? ...

Dou Jiafu was thinking wildly while walking, until Zhou Fusheng stopped and said: "Brother Dou, this is Yueranju, you can rest here temporarily."

"Oh." Dou Jiafu followed in hesitantly.

Yue Ran Ju is the place where the Zhen family entertains overnight visitors and guests. The furnishings and decorations are naturally rich and exquisite, showing the hospitality and style of the Zhen family everywhere.

This place is a few grades higher than the inn where Dou Jiafu stayed when he came to Ningcheng from Yongping County. He didn't know where to put his hands and feet. Looking around with his little baggage, the big bronze mirror at the door, which was as tall as a person, clearly reflected his helplessness and restraint.

Zhou Fusheng couldn't help but smiled slightly, "Brother Dou, sit down and rest for a while, I'll send someone to bring water over, so you can wash up and cool off."

After Dou Jiafu thanked him, he watched Zhou Fusheng leave, and then he looked at the furnishings in the house with the same interest.

After a while, a delicate and gentle voice sounded outside the door, "Young Master Dou, the servants have brought you water."

Mr. Dou... Dou Jiafu, who has always been called "poor ghost", "bumpkin", and "hillbilly", preferably "little tofu", was so startled that his hairs stood on end, he hurried forward and opened the door.

Three pretty little maids aged fifteen or sixteen filed in, one carrying a brass basin, the other a basket of toiletries, and the other a stack of brand-new clothes, followed by two stout maidservants. , carrying a large bucket of water, put the bucket behind the screen and went out.

The three maids were all very smart, their eyes rolled around, and when they came in and saw Dou Jiafu's appearance and clothes, the look in their beautiful eyes faded, and the smile at the corners of their mouths became less sweet.

One of them twisted a cloth towel in the water basin with his slender fingers like green onions, and said obediently: "Young Master Dou, this servant will help you clean your hands and face."

Dou Jiafu waved his hands fearfully, "I'll do it myself, don't bother the girl."

The maid didn't force her, handed the cloth towel into his hands, and stepped aside.

Dou Jiafu washed his hands and face indiscriminately under the gaze of three pairs of wonderful eyes. When he was done, he immediately blushed. The originally snow-white cloth towel was as black as a rag that wiped the table.He immediately sank the cloth towel into the water and scrubbed it vigorously, but the water was already dirty, and no matter how much he rubbed it, it would not be white, and he almost knocked over the basin because of his excessive movements.

This clumsy gaffe made the three girls cover their mouths and laugh lightly, and Dou Jiafu stopped his hands embarrassingly.

The leading maid cleared her throat and winked at the other two. The two maids reluctantly stood around Dou Jiafu and said in unison: "Young Master Dou, this servant will help you to take a bath and change your clothes." After that, I have to reach out to help Dou Jiafu take off his clothes.

Dou Jiafu's face immediately turned into a pig's liver color, and he took three steps back while clutching his chest, stammering: "No, no, no, I don't dare to bother the two girls, I just do it myself."

There was another giggle.

Dou Jiafu doesn't need to serve, the girls are happy to save trouble.

The leading maid smiled and said, "In that case, please Mr. Dou take care of yourself. These are the clothes that Housekeeper Zhou prepared for you. Please wash and change, Mr. Zhou."

Dou Jiafu was so embarrassed that he couldn't even speak, he could only nod his head repeatedly, and after the three maids all exited and closed the door, he let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his brow.

Mother, the big family really has a lot of rules, it's too much trouble.

After making sure that the doors and windows were all closed, Dou Jiafu took off his clothes and jumped into the warm water bucket, and took a good bath.
