loyal dog becomes cat

At the beginning of February, when the snow on the road had just thawed, Ximen Fang returned to the imperial capital.

On the day when the letter arrived, Ma Ke asked someone to clean the house and tidy up the yard in advance, and asked several shops to straighten out the accounts for this month and send them in. In addition, he also packed up the drawings of the new clubhouse completed by the craftsmen, and put them all in the west gate. Put it on the desk and wait to come back to report to the leader.

A group of carriages and horses arrived home at dusk, and Ma Ke stood at the door to greet them. Ximen Fang was wearing a black fox fur cloak, and walked over after getting out of the car, stroking his head with a smile: "I'm not here these days, you have grown a little flesh " Squeeze his face, "The complexion is also much ruddy."

Ma Ke endured the pinch, and said with a forced smile: "Master, you have worked hard on the road."

"It's really hard work." Ximen Fang smiled, and took his hand to walk in, "I was exhausted by taking the things your Thirteenth Sister brought you along the way."

"There is nothing in the imperial capital, and my sister asked the master to bring me something."

"The imperial capital really doesn't have such a thing." Ximen Fang lifted the cloak on his body, and took out a fluffy little thing from his arms, "Look, I'm afraid that it will be sick and you will be sad, so I hugged it all the way in my arms. Sleep next to your pillow."

A small milk cat with tiger skin pattern was lying on Ximen Let's hand, covered with fluffy milk fur, looking at Ma Ke with a pair of bright mandarin duck eyes, softly "mi" and yawned for a long time, Drooling while nibbling on Ximen Fang's thumb.

"Your in-laws gave it to you." Ximen Fang held the back of the kitten and put it in Ma Ke's hands, "Your Liu Xiaodong's kittens are all white, only this one is the most similar."

"Uh...thank you, master." Ma Ke hugged the kitten and looked at it, not to mention the similarity with Liu Xiaodong, no wonder he regarded it as his illegitimate child.

There was a fire in the room, Ximen let go of his cloak and sat on the Arhat couch, the servant girl brought tea, he took a sip, beckoned Ma Ke over, and asked, "How is the new year?"

"Very good. The craftsman's blueprints are all finished. I read them, and there is nothing wrong with them. The restaurant's bonuses are all divided. I also brought people to worship the God of Wealth on the first day of the new year..."

"That's not what I asked, I know you can handle business matters well." Ximen Fang hugged him on his lap and said, "I'm asking how you are doing."

"Uh..." Ma Ke wanted to say it was very good, but he swallowed the words, acting has become his instinctive reaction, "Master is not here, what's the matter, the house is so deserted."

Ximen let out an "oh", with a look of pity in his eyes, and said, "Did someone show you the firecrackers I bought for you?"

"Yeah." On New Year's Eve, Ma Ke and Liu Xiaodong hid in the backyard to set off fireworks and played almost all night, thinking about it now felt a little guilty, and said in a low voice: "I've seen it all, it's good, thank you, master. "

"Thank you for your hard work. After a while, the new garden will start construction. I will take you to the southern suburbs for a few days. There is a temple with a lot of incense. The abbot and I are good friends. You must like it."

The monastery is a good place, at least it is a quiet place, I guess Ximen Fang will not be too animalistic, and he has no worries about losing his virginity.

Ma Ke nodded, struggled, and said, "Master, let me down, aren't you tired of holding you like this?"

At this time, he was quite tall, and sitting on Ximen Fang's knees looked unharmonious. Ximen Fang also felt a little awkward, so he let go of him and said, "Go ask someone to set up dinner, and have a few drinks with me." .”

"Yes."

After accompanying the master for dinner, the servants had already sorted out all the things they brought from Huanzhou. Ximen's personal servant came over with a big box and asked, "The things that the master brought to Mrs. Fourteen, should I take a look first?" Let's see, or send it directly to Madam's room?"

Ximen Fang said, "Bring it here and let me have a look."

The box is full of small things from Huanzhou, such as salty and delicious beef jerky, sweet and sour preserved fruit, deep-fried oiled purses by the family, exquisite oil-paper fans, glazed lanterns carved with story paintings... although they are all small The things may not be very valuable, but they obviously took a lot of effort to pick out, and they can't be bought in one day. They must be collected as they see, so they have accumulated such a large box.

"A lot of visitors came to my house during the Chinese New Year, and relatives in the countryside also sent congratulatory gifts." Ximen Fang picked up a brightly colored mask, compared it to his face, and said, "The old lady misses you, and always remembers you when you share things." I left it for you, and specially asked me to bring it for you to play with."

Ma Ke was grateful in his heart. Since he married into Ximen's family, the old lady loved him very much. Although it was not as good as Mrs. Ma's heart and soul, she always thought of him in everything and never left behind.

"Sometimes when I go out with my friends, I buy all the fun and delicious things for you and keep them for you. I have saved up such a box without knowing it." Ximen Fang picked up a glazed lamp and lit it on the candle. When it was on, he put on the lampshade, held it in his palm, turned it around, and said, "Look at this lamp, the eight lamps are only as big as a palm, but there is a complete story engraved on it. Turn it on and turn it on." It looks very unique."

Ma Ke was also puzzled, and took a look at it. It was really exquisite and interesting.

"Let them send you to the room to play slowly." Ximen Fang patted his head lovingly, "Before leaving, ask the cook to fry a plate of fried pouches for you. Whether you eat or not, you have to celebrate the festival. Next year There is no disease or disaster, eat more and grow faster."

"I'm not a pig."

"Where is such a cute pig?" Ximen Fang smiled and pinched his cheeks, "Forget it, it doesn't matter if you don't grow up, you are already tall enough, you can get fatter, and you will be eighteen in a blink of an eye. When I don’t want to consummate the house, I hold a bamboo pole.”

Ma Ke's good mood was gone, and he said with a sad face: "Yes." But he thought in his heart, even if he became fat, he could only be a fat bamboo pole, and he would not grow into a gourd, my lord.

In the evening, Ma Ke went back to his room and squatted there looking through boxes, finding a novelty to play with from time to time.

"Hey, look at this, music box." Marko flipped through a copper box, twisted a handle on the side a few times, and really sang, very beautifully, "Where did it come from, it's so modern."

Surrounded by the quilt, Liu Xiaodong curled up on the bed, hugged the little cat in his arms, and rubbed his son's belly like a loving father, saying, "Play with it, don't break it, and let my son play when you've had enough."

Ma Ke picked up a piece of beef jerky and jumped onto the bed, leading the little cat's nose, "Dongdong, Dongdong, come and eat beef jerky."

The little cat licked it and thought it tasted good. It jumped on its two front paws, gnawing with its deciduous teeth and drooling.

"Why does it drool so much..." Liu Xiaodong frowned.

"You used to be the same." Marko said, "No, you are the same now."

"Isn't it?"

"Otherwise, if you change back, I'll give you beef jerky and show you a mirror."

"Really?" Liu Xiaodong was puzzled, lying on the bed looking at the little cat, and asked for a long time: "Are we really that similar?"

"The cats are all about the same in size, and their coat color is similar."

"Oh." Liu Xiaodong scratched his head, "So I'm so cute..."

"..."

The two were lying on the bed to sleep, and the glazed lamp was placed on the bedside. Ma Ke stared blankly at the glazed lamp, and suddenly said: "You said, we just left like this, don't you feel sorry for him?"

"what?"

"He is a successful person with a good character. He has nothing to say to me. Just like this, he was deceived by me for money and sex..."

"Did you lie to him?"

"……not yet."

"You didn't help him too much. He still needs a lot of money to hire a CEO in the market. He must not have done as well as you."

"Oh... that's different." Ma Ke is very grateful and has a little bit of the Virgin Mary feeling. After being hit by the sugar-coated shells fired by Ximen, he lost his nature.

"The thing that is willing to fight and suffer is also the condition he promised at the beginning. If it weren't for the big change in the family and he fell into trouble, you wouldn't cheat money and sex." Liu Xiaodong persuaded him, "If you really feel sorry, there are three more years left. In a month's time, the garden in the southern suburbs is about to start construction, let's repay him by giving him more snacks."

Ximen's family resort broke ground at the end of February. Ximen Fang put a lot of energy into this project, so he attached great importance to it. Although he sent his cronies to watch over it, he was still worried, and would go to inspect it every one or two days.

As a result, other industries in the city have been left to Marco to take care of, the crude medicine store and the silk and satin shop are fine. After the Furong Building, because the streets at the entrance will be widened, the original steps and fences will have to be redesigned, and the gatehouse will also be demolished. It is very troublesome to renovate, but the business in the store is particularly good, and the busy Ma Ke is devastated.

Thinking that everyone thought he was too tall, Ma Ke didn't dare to eat Hesai like before, and he didn't even touch calcium and vitamin supplements, so he became picky eaters all of a sudden.

The cook knew that Mrs. Fourteen was the most favored, so she secretly reported it to the master. Ximen Fang also wondered why his appetite had decreased so much. Ma Ke only said that his appetite was bad, so Ximen Fang specially transferred a cook from Huanzhou Come up and cook hometown dishes for him.

This meticulous care made Ma Ke really eat or not eat, and he was almost heartbroken for a bowl of rice.

The street renovation was completed in early April, and the new gate of Furong Building was also unveiled. In order to attract attention, Ma Ke spared no expense to hire a designer from the Ministry of Industry, bought a batch of high-quality glazed tiles, and re-framed it with the handwriting of a well-known scholar in the dynasty. The written plaque attracted bursts of admiration on the day of its unveiling.

It was discounted that day, and there were so many guests in Furong Building. Ma Ke ran up and down all morning, and didn't even bother to drink his saliva. I didn't dare to drink, so I had to continue to hold on.

I don't know when I passed out after holding on, I just felt my head hit the stairs, which hurts.

Ximen Fang knew that Furong Building was to be unveiled today, and he wanted to preside over it personally, but there was a temporary problem with the construction of the garden in the southern suburbs, so he had to hand over the restaurant to Ma Ke, and he rushed there early in the morning to deal with it. He thought it would be done by the end of the day , Who would have thought that craftsman is simply an elm head, and it was almost noon after finishing it.

As soon as the carriage drove to the entrance of Furong Building, they heard the noise inside, shouting something like "dizzy, fainted", and thought it was something wrong with the customer, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper rushed over to plead guilty as soon as he entered the shop.

"Master! The villain should be damned. Madam Fourteen shouldn't be so tired. A few days ago, I saw that her face was not good, and I wanted to persuade her to rest more, but Madam has a stubborn temper, and the work schedule in the shop is so tight that she was delayed." ..." The shopkeeper could not wait to slap himself twice, "Madam Fourteen is in very good health on weekdays, and she has more energy than the waiter. I don't know why she always looks sick lately. Don't tell me she is happy? Capital crime, capital crime, if If you get pregnant, the villain deserves death, master..."

"Enough." Ximen Fang frowned, interrupting his rambling, "Where is Madam?"

"Ah, yes, upstairs, she was discovered by a strong man as soon as she passed out. The strong man had already helped carry his wife to the private room to rest. I also sent someone to invite the doctor, and I must immediately arrive."

Ximen Fang didn't say much anymore, he ran upstairs in three steps at a time, pushed the door of the private room, and saw someone made a temporary bed with a few chairs, Ma Ke lay there quietly, squatting beside him with his face covered Anxious Liu Xiaodong.

"Huh... Where is the person? He was still there just now." The shopkeeper looked around, "I even sealed a red envelope to thank that strong man, why did he just leave, and I didn't see where he went..."

Ximen Fang didn’t have time to care about strong men or not, so he went over and touched Ma Ke’s face, it felt cool, touched his palm, it was still warm, seeing his pale face and haggard appearance, he guessed that he had a bad appetite recently He fainted because of too little food and too much work. Seeing that he was wearing a high-necked jacket with the collar buttons buttoned up to his chin, he was afraid that the buttons would be too tight to affect his breathing, so he unbuttoned them twice and kept the jacket open. to crispy breasts.

Just as I was about to turn around and ask when Lang Zhong would come, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

Ximen Fang paused for a moment, and slowly stretched out his hand to touch Ma Ke's neck. He vaguely felt a hard lump, but he was still not sure. He raised his chin to look carefully, and felt as if he had been struck by lightning. .

On that white and delicate neck, although not very obvious, there was clearly a small bulge. Ximen Fang pinched his throat, Ma Ke frowned and swallowed, and the bulge slid up and down with his swallowing movements.

"Miss!" Huajian went to relieve himself, and hurried over when he heard people say that Ma Ke had fainted.

"Everyone go out." Before she rushed in the door, Ximen Fang suddenly yelled with a cold face.

"Miss……"

"Get out!" Ximen Fang stood up, "Don't come in unless I tell anyone, and the doctor is the same." He grabbed Liu Xiaodong and threw it to Hua Jian, "Take the cat away!"

Everyone didn't understand why the master suddenly lost his temper, but they didn't dare to ask more questions, looked at each other, and left one after another.

Ximen Fang closed the door tightly, locked it, and then returned to Ma Ke, looking at his beautiful face like flowers and jade, with uncertain expressions on his face.

Speaking of which, the longer she grows, the more heroic she becomes.

After standing quietly for a moment, Ximen Fang bent down and slowly undid the buttons under his collar one by one.
