Tofu Dongshi

Zhou Fusheng then hesitated and said: "Young Master, over there at the tea house..."

Zhen Zhigong waved his hand, "I know, I'll go there right away. You go and arrange a secret investigation first, and then return to the tea house as soon as possible."

"Yes." Zhou Fusheng took the order and left in a hurry.

Yesterday, I received an urgent report. Today, Zhao Guozhong, the eunuch in charge of the procurement office in the palace, will visit the tea plantation in person, and at the same time check the quality of ten loads of tribute tea presented to the palace this year. Zhen Zhigong, as the owner of the tea plantation and the owner of the Zhen family, must personally Welcome guests and give them a grand reception.

After such a crazy and upside-down night last night, he didn't want to leave very much, and he also knew that he had really bullied people this time, and he was afraid that he would find him angrily to settle accounts after waking up.But no matter how bad the situation is, he is also ready to respond to all changes without change. Anyway, as long as the person does not leave, everything else is negotiable.

But things had to be prioritized, Zhao Guozhong's rank was not high, but his power was not small, this sudden visit was no small matter, he had to return to the tea house immediately to make arrangements.

The tea house suffered heavy losses after the previous fire, and it will take a long time to restore its original appearance. Five of the ten loads of tribute tea that had been prepared were destroyed by the fire.Fortunately, these days he has been working on the rebuilding work there all night long. Although the effect is limited in just a few days, he can barely watch it.As long as you are careful, you can temporarily deal with Zhao Guozhong.After the God of Plague has been sent away, the remaining five loads of tribute tea can be secretly raised from other tea merchants in the city.

As for the drowsy little thing in the room, he was very tired last night, at least he couldn't get out of bed all day today, as long as he came back at night, lowered his body and comforted him, there should be no big problem.

After making up his mind, Zhen Zhigong called Chen Ma again to give her instructions, nothing more than to take good care of him, and to satisfy any request - except for one thing, he was not allowed to leave the house.

Then he went to the stables to take Hei Feng, and rushed to the tea house at lightning speed.

……

It was already afternoon when Dou Jiafu woke up, but he would rather not wake up, because this time his body was more sore than the first time, it was horrible.As long as he moved a little, protests could be heard from every joint in his body, reminding him of the unbearable treatment he had suffered last night.

The difference from the first time was that he didn't see the culprit when he opened his eyes. He stared blankly at the sky for a long time, not knowing whether to be happy or worried.

Well, you should be happy.If that bastard was right in front of him, he wasn't sure if he would fight him desperately.But now that he is weak and short of breath, where can he get any cheap, most likely he will only take advantage of that greedy jackal...

Thinking of this, he realized that his face had a fever and his heart beat faster, Dou Jiafu shouted loudly in his heart, I am so angry!

After being "filled with righteous indignation" for a while, he then realized that he was not sleeping in his own room, and couldn't help feeling even more angry. How could this be possible?He doesn't want to live in the same room with animals!

So he turned over and sat up and wanted to get out of bed, but——

"what--!"

A howl of pain alarmed Chen Ma, who had been waiting in the yard for a long time, and hurried over, seeing the situation in the house, she scolded: "Young Master Dou, why are you up, go back to bed and lie down!"

Dou Jiafu knelt on the ground while supporting his almost broken waist, grinning in pain and unable to answer.

Chen Ma stepped forward to help him lie back on the bed, and said in her mouth: "Master Dou, are you looking for the young master? He has something to do, so he went to the tea house early in the morning."

Although he had already guessed that the bastard was not in the mansion, but after receiving confirmation from Chen's mother, Dou Jiafu's mouth was still sour and astringent, a bit unpleasant.

Chen's mother continued to say earnestly: "Young Master Dou, you are in a special period now, you can't act rashly, and you can't see the light and wind, it's best not to go to the ground for ten and a half months, so as not to move the fetal gas... Uh, no, it's the vitality ! In short, you just lie on the bed for the next few days and rest well, just don’t do anything..."! ! !

Although Chen Ma changed her words quickly, Dou Jiafu still caught the word keenly, his face turned green immediately, and smoke started to rise from the top of his head.

How would Mama Chen know about the special period?Needless to say, some beast must have revealed it!

Ahhh bastard!Young master and you swear to be incompatible!

After chattering, Chen Ma went out, but she turned back after a while, brought a big bowl to the bed, scooped up the contents of the bowl with a spoon, and pretended to feed Dou Jiafu.

Dou Jiafu didn't dare to work for her old man to serve him, so he quickly took the bowl and said, "Mother Chen, I'll come by myself—don't worry, it's just a meal, I can't move the baby... that vitality!"

He almost bit his own tongue!

Seeing his resolute attitude, Chen Ma was afraid of knocking over the bowl with him, so she had to let him go.

Dou Jiafu breathed a sigh of relief, and looked down at the food in the bowl. It was very good. It was no longer gruel, but it was not dry rice either. There were white clouds floating in the reddish-brown water—it was poached eggs boiled in brown sugar!

All of a sudden, he only heard a series of thunderbolts exploding in his ears. He knew this thing, it was specially stewed for pregnant women to replenish their body!

Seeing that Dou Jiafu was holding the bowl, his eyes were straight and his face was blue and red, Chen Ma asked cautiously: "Young Master Dou, you don't like this? Then I will go to the kitchen to cook something else for you?"

Dou Jiafu took a deep breath and shook his head: "No, I'll eat."

After saying that, he closed his eyes, lowered his head, and started to stutter.

If some beast brought him this bowl, he would definitely put the bowl on his head without saying a word!But now it's Mama Chen in front of her eyes... Forget it, I'll bear it!

But, don't say it, the sugar water eggs are quite delicious, but after a while, Dou Jiafu almost finished eating, but he felt that his stomach was full and his spirits lifted.

Chen Ma took the empty bowl with a smile, and said, "Young Master Dou, please use this cushion first, and I'll bring you bird's nest porridge later."

Dou Jiafu: "..."

Just as she was about to refuse, another female voice rang out from the door: "Mother Chen, go down and get busy, Xiaodoufu and I have something to say."

He raised his head in surprise and joy, and saw Qin Shi who hadn't seen him for a long time came in.

"Yes, ma'am." Chen Ma backed out of the door.

Mrs. Qin came personally, so Dou Jiafu couldn't stay on the bed anymore, so he got up and got out of bed carefully, pumping his air-conditioning secretly, and walked forward as naturally as possible, and said cheerfully and courteously: "Madam, please sit down!"

Seeing that his footsteps were sloppy and his posture was awkward, and there were suspicious red marks on his neck, Qin could not help but frowned, and then sat down at the table.

Dou Jiafu lifted the teapot on the table and found it was empty, so he planned to go to the kitchen to boil a pot of water to make tea for Mrs Qin, but just as he was about to move, Mrs Qin said flatly: "Since you are inconvenient, don't bother Yes, sit down."

inconvenient...

Dou Jiafu was stunned for a moment, then his face was on fire and his heart was beating like a drum. When Qin said this, did she know what happened last night like Chen Mama?God, what to do? !Why isn't that bastard here? !

He sat down on the lower head in fear, but the corners of his mouth twitched in pain because of the sudden contact between the heavily injured secret part and the hard pear wood stool, and he almost cried out.

Qin saw the changes in his expression one by one, and his complexion became more and more ugly, and he didn't bother to talk about it, so he cut to the chase: "Little Tofu, what are your plans for the future?"

Dou Jiafu's heart suddenly became aroused, what is his plan, Qin Shi doesn't say, he has only two choices, one is to return to Zhangjia Village in Yongping County, the other is to stay in Zhen's family.

The former one belonged to him, and he asked someone angrily last night, but...

Without allowing him to think too much, the Qin family simply said: "The Zhen family just opened a new tea house in Sucheng, and now they are short of manpower to manage things. I’m very trustworthy, and I want you to help me. At the same time, you can also experience a little bit, and you will be able to make a fortune in two years. It’s easy to start a family and start a business, how about it?”

Dou Jiafu was stunned, and then murmured, "Sucheng...where is it?"

"In Yuntian Mansion, you can get there in ten days by horse-drawn carriage. It's a good place, with beautiful mountains and rivers and a pleasant climate, even more comfortable than Ningcheng."

Dou Jiafu's heart sank little by little.

Ten days, three times the distance from Yongping County to Ningcheng...

He is not a fool, although Qin didn't say it clearly, but he can know the meaning behind his words without guessing.

Hehe, he really shouldn't be wishful thinking, this is not the place he should stay after all.

The Qin family treated him well, and would not put the problem on the table to reprimand him to expel him, and even planned a way out for him that was extremely promising in anyone's eyes. It was the utmost benevolence for him. He should I am grateful, not resentful.

Moreover, he also planned to leave yesterday, but the destination was changed from Yongping County to Sioux City, there is no difference in essence.

What's more, someone tortured him so unbearably last night, trampled all his self-esteem under his feet, he should hate him to the bone, and never have any contact with him since then, right?

Trying to stabilize his body so as not to fall off the stool, he finally said with difficulty, "Thank you Madam. Then I'll pack up and leave for Sucheng tomorrow, okay?"

Seeing his pale face and trembling body, Qin couldn't bear it.In this matter, however, she could not relent, or the situation would be irretrievable.

She said cruelly: "There is a real shortage of manpower over there. If you are in good health, you might as well go on the road later. I have had a few new sets of your clothes made, so there is no need to tidy up. The carriage is also ready. Yes, just wait at the door, the car is very spacious, you can continue to rest when you get in the car."

Dou Jiafu couldn't hide his disappointment, is he leaving now?Don't you even have a chance to give him one more night?

However, the matter has come to this point, Qin's mind has been made up, everything has been arranged, and he cannot change it.

He responded in a low voice: "Okay, I'll go now."

The Qin family obviously breathed a sigh of relief, got up and went to the door and said: "Come here, send Young Master Dou to the car."

Two powerful and strong male servants of Kong Wu, whom Dou Jiafu had never seen before, entered in response, supported his arms from left to right and said, "Young Master Dou, please."

Although the tone is respectful, the posture is very strong and cannot be resisted.

Dou Jiafu laughed at himself, and was carried out of the house by two servants.

It is a little inconvenient for him to walk now, so how can he have the strength to resist and escape?What's more, he didn't intend to resist and escape at all.

When he was about to leave the courtyard, he happened to meet Mama Chen coming out of the kitchen with a bowl of porridge. Seeing the battle in front of her, she couldn't help being stunned, "Master Dou, you want to go out? But the young master said..."

"Young Master just sent someone to say that the tea house is busy, so I asked Little Tofu to help." Qin quickly cut off his words.

Chen Ma did not doubt that she had it, she nodded and said: "Oh, the eldest young master has really worked hard."

Qin waved his hand, "Let's go, leave early, it's best to get there before dark."

The two servants agreed, and half-supported and half-dragged Dou Jiafu to go out, and after a while, he went out by the side door.

As Qin said, there was a two-horse carriage parked outside the side door, which looked spacious and imposing.

Put Dou Jiafu on the carriage, one servant sat outside to act as the driver, and the other followed him into the carriage and sat beside him, and said with a smile: "The young one is called Wang Jiang, and the one outside is called Li Ping, and he has been following Young Master Dou since today." , please take care of me in the future."

Dou Jiafu smiled reluctantly, but before he could answer, Li Ping, who was acting as a coachman outside, slapped his whip and yelled "drive", and the carriage sped up and headed west of the city, in the opposite direction from Zhenjia Tea House.

His heart sank, and he rushed to the window suddenly, looking at the Zhen family compound that was drifting away, tears fell down unconsciously.
