Tofu Dongshi

This day Young Master Zhen appeared in front of the people in the house in a rather embarrassing image. Firstly, his left eye was black and black, and there were a few bloodstains on his cheeks, ruining his handsome face; secondly, his speech was a little slurred, It seems that I have a big tongue disease, I didn't even eat much breakfast, I only drank a bowl of soy milk.

The servants wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so they could only talk about the young master's ugly new image like chicken blood behind his back. How did these indecent injuries come about?

Last night, the young master came home drunk in the middle of the night. Everyone in the mansion knew about it, but at that time the young master's face was fine, but when he got up the next day, it changed. Needless to say, those injuries must have been suffered in the mansion at night. of.

So who is the perpetrator?It's really strange that the young master is both civil and military, and it's so strange that idlers can't easily get close to him.

There are all kinds of strange speculations and discussions among the servants, but they are all far from the truth.

Everyone in the house now knows that the young master sleeps, eats and seats with an unattractive guest named Dou Jiafu, alias "Little Tofu", and they are closer than real brothers.Although everyone wouldn't think wrongly, they couldn't help secretly envying and hating this unknown visitor who received such courteous treatment. At the same time, they couldn't figure it out. What's so good about that kid that he deserves to be treated like this by the young master?

First Young Master Zhen himself disdains other people's speculations, but he almost lost his appearance, and his glorious image of Fengshen and handsome was greatly reduced. In addition, he attempted to commit violence in the morning. He was first disgusted by someone and then beaten mercilessly. I ignored it, and became very depressed. When I went to inspect the property in the mansion, I didn't give people a good face all day. I had a cold face, and with a few bloodstains, I was so frightened that the people in charge were trembling. out.

In the evening, Zhen Zhigong and Zhou Fusheng went to the west of the city to meet Song Wenyi, the owner of Qingfeng Tea House.

He didn't want to go, Song Wenyi had sent him two invitations before, but he refused both of them on the grounds that he was too busy to get away.

Song Wenyi was also a persevering person who would never give up until he reached his goal. He sent out the third invitation again yesterday, and his words became more and more earnest.Zhen Zhigong had enough airs, thinking that the two of them were doing business in the same city, and it was impossible to avoid seeing each other forever, so he reluctantly coped with it.Now that you have agreed, it is not easy to renege on your promise.

The Song family is a rising star in the shopping malls of Ningcheng. It mainly makes a living by growing tea and selling tea. Although the family business is not comparable to that of the Zhen family, which started as a tea merchant with a century of deep roots and rich assets, it has a very rapid development momentum. In just a few years, half of the low- and medium-grade tea market in Ningcheng and the surrounding provinces has been taken up. His means and ambition cannot be underestimated.

Before Zhen Zhigong, the Zhen family was helmed by his grandfather Zhen Ruocheng, and his father Zhen Minghuai was a typical representative of a dude. Wealthy idlers.

Mrs. Zhen lost confidence in her eldest son very early, and personally supervised the cultivation of her eldest grandson Zhen Zhigong since she was a child. .

When it came to Zhen Zhigong, Mrs. Zhen began to suffer from illnesses, so she bypassed her eldest son and handed over the huge family business to her eldest grandson, and Mr. Zhen Zhen Minghuai was also happy to continue to be his Taiping rich man.

Everyone in Ningcheng knows these things about the Zhen family, and it is said that Song Wenyi, the new head of the Song family, is about the same age as Zhen Zhigong, and has similar experiences. He also took over the family business from his seriously ill father when he was less than 20 years old. He is more scheming and shrewd than his father in business management. In three or four years, the Song family's business has been brought to a new level. He has become a young talent who is widely praised by the public, and his limelight is close to that of the Zhen family.

However, the Zhen family has always monopolized the high-end tea market in Ningcheng and even the five southeastern provinces, and they also donated tribute tea to the palace every year. He will reduce his stature and take the initiative to make friends with upstarts in the middle and low-end market such as the Song family, and Song Wenyi has been relatively low-key and cautious in recent years, and has never rashly attached himself to the Zhen family.

Therefore, so far, the young family members of the Zhen and Song families have not dealt with each other directly, and only briefly took two sides at some gatherings of gentry and celebrities in Ningcheng.

This time when he went to the appointment, because Zhen Zhigong himself didn't like to show off, and he was always confident in Ningcheng, so he only brought his capable butler Zhou Fusheng to accompany him this time.The two were warmly welcomed by the top and bottom of Qingfeng Tea House, and Song Wenyi personally went out to welcome them for a mile, invited them into the tea house, and prepared a high-end banquet for them.

Young Master Zhen's face was damaged, he was in a bad mood, and he had no interest in the purpose of Song Wenyi's invitation this time. No matter what the other party said during the meeting, he was unmoved and reacted coldly.

Song Wenyi is neither anxious nor annoyed, always talking and laughing, Yan Yan has a calm expression, has a different kind of elegance, can talk about everything in astronomy, geography, strange scriptures and gossip, but doesn't mention a word about the tea scriptures. Gong took a little contempt for this young colleague who was about the same age as him, and occasionally chatted with him on a certain topic.

When the wine was hot, the atmosphere was much more relaxed than before.

Song Wenyi tentatively said: "Brother Zhen has a dignified appearance, but unfortunately his face is a bit unattractive today. I wonder who did it?"

Zhen Zhigong said a little uncomfortably, "I accidentally got scratched twice by a stray cat this morning."

It's no wonder wild cats can scratch like that.Besides, what about slurred speech?Could it be bitten by a wild cat?Song Wenyi's eyes flashed, and he curled his lips into an evil smile, "I have heard that Brother Zhen's martial arts skills are so good that he can scratch Your Excellency's face. That cat is really wild. I'll let my little brother see it sometime."

The corners of Zhen Zhigong's eyes twitched, and he felt a little annoyed, but it was inconvenient to explain and attack, so he could only hum and haw vaguely.

Zhou Fusheng on the other side was almost pissed when he heard it.

If it is said that none of the people in the Zhen family could guess the reason why the young master was injured, then this butler, who has always been sharp-eyed and shrewd, is the only one who has guessed the truth.

Zhou Fusheng believed that, first of all, the young master's injury could not have been caused by his own accidental fall or hitting a wall.

Secondly, the guards of the noble family of the Zhen family are heavily guarded, and the young master possesses martial arts skills. It is impossible for him to be attacked and injured by thieves at home, but he would avoid talking about it afterwards.

In the end, when the young master was injured, only Dou Jiafu was by his side, and this person was cold and aggressive towards the young master in the morning, so it is doubtful who caused the young master's injury.

After reaching the conclusion, Housekeeper Zhou became more suspicious and worried. It was far beyond the normal range for the young master to allow Dou Jiafu to act wildly on his head.

But he didn't dare to think deeply, nor did he dare to express his doubts to others, nor did he dare to ask the young master for proof or to persuade him, so he could only keep all his thoughts firmly in his heart.

At this moment, even though Song Wenyi's guess is not far from the truth, comparing Dou Jiafu to a wild cat still makes Butler Zhou feel like scratching the wall. If it is really the fault of "wild cats", he will be thankful !

Song Wenyi saw that Zhen Zhigong was a little absent-minded, and the delicacies on the table were only moved a few chopsticks casually, so he ordered the banquet to be withdrawn.

Then he retired from the idlers and others, and led Zhen Zhou and others into an elegantly furnished flower hall next door, and then smiled mysteriously: "My little brother just got a rare thing recently, and his temper is also very wild. Brother is here, why don't you teach me a little bit or two?"
