A few days later, the upright young man came to find Zhu Yuanyu.
"You're really here......"
At this time, Zhu Yuanyu was replying to his home, Qi Yi stood aside to polish his ink, and he said without raising his head: "I won't go to your grandfather's birthday banquet to join in the fun, you might as well spend your time looking for your grandfather's birthday gift when you have time...... Didn't you say that someone bought a painting that you were looking forward to?"
Cui'er poured a cup of tea for the young man, and he took a sip of thanks, noticing a peculiar-looking pigeon pacing back and forth on the desk, and the way he held his head high made him have to look at it a few more times.
Hearing Zhu Yuanyu say no, Geng Zhinian looked very disappointed, but when he heard the mention of his grandfather's birthday gift, he didn't know what he thought, so he smiled again and said proudly: "I'm ready for my grandfather's birthday gift!"
"Oh?" Zhu Yuanyu put down the pen, picked up the letter and blew on it, and said leisurely: "What kind of gift is it?"
Geng Zhi's young man's eyes lit up and said, "It's "Spring House"!"
Zhu Yuanyu put the letter aside and said suspiciously: "Didn't you say that someone bought it?"
"Yes, but then I bought it back from a friend for a high price. ”
The upright young man showed a painful expression, thinking that the "high price" was really high.
Zhu Yuanyu didn't know anything else, but judging from the generosity of the upright young man who sold himself to bury his father and daughter that day, this is also a rich young master, and he is also a generous young master who has no concept of money. can make the young master show a painful expression, he must have been slaughtered by someone.
Zhu Yuanyu walked to the opposite of Geng Zhijun and sat down, Cui'er immediately handed over a cup of poured tea, he touched it, it was warm. He doesn't like to drink cold tea, because most of the cold tea is bitter at first taste, which completely destroys the pleasure of enjoying the aroma of tea. Everyone around him knows this.
"It's almost noon, have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, let's go together." ”
Zhu Yuanyu sent an invitation to Geng Zhi's young man, and before he finished speaking, Li Zhuangzhuang came in with two carved food boxes that were also three-layered. He said in a loud voice: "Young master, I have run a few houses, but I can be regarded as finding one that will make your favorite sweet and sour fish!"
Zhu Yuanyu could already smell the unique sweet taste of food, and when Cui'er laid out the meals one by one, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
In addition to sweet and sour fish, Li Zhuangzhuang's intimate little padded jacket actually brought sweet and sour pork ribs, and Zhu Yuanyu gave him an appreciative look.
"Sit down, there aren't that many rules outside. Besides, it's lively when there are many people eating, and it's not interesting for me to eat alone. ”
Seeing that his three subordinates all sat down obediently, Zhu Yuanyu nodded with satisfaction, turned his gaze to Geng Zhijun, and said, "If you don't mind, together?"
Geng Zhi's young man actually came after eating, but he looked at this table and looked at the food that had an appetite, and suddenly felt that he could eat a few more bowls of rice, so he nodded and said, "That...... Then I'm disrespectful......"
Zhu Yuanyu always felt that rice was the best with dishes, so on his dining table, crystal white rice was indispensable.
At this moment, he already had a mouthful of hot rice in his mouth, and then stuffed the sweet and sour fish meat with chopsticks into his mouth, chewed it with the rice, and looked satisfied.
Because there are guests, Li Zhuangzhuang, who usually eats heroically, restrained his movements a little, and the most reflective thing is that he changed his eating from loud to quiet.
Qi Yi maintained her usual pace, and solved a bowl of rice in three or two clicks, while Cui'er still chewed slowly, as if she was savoring it carefully.
Eating almost, there was only one fish head left in the original whole sweet and sour fish, and there were two round white fish eyes on the fish head, seeing that no one ate it, Geng Zhi young man put the fish head into his bowl.
"Do you like to eat fish heads?" Zhu Yuanyu swallowed the last bite of food in his mouth, glanced at him and said.
Geng Zhinian nodded, a little embarrassed, he didn't know what's wrong, usually he dared to eat the fish head when he ate alone, in other words, when he was eating with his family and friends, he would never touch the fish head.
"Oh, the meat of the fish head is quite tender, but it is a little less, it seems that you are quite good at eating. ”
Geng Zhi's eyes lit up, as if he had found a confidant, and he said happily: "Have you also eaten fish heads?"
Zhu Yuanyu poured himself a cup of tea and rinsed his mouth, and said when he finished: "It's like you've eaten it, tsk." ”
"No...... I'm just a little ...... Hehe......" The upright young man touched his head and smirked.
"Alright, eat yours. ”
Zhu Yuanyu stood up and walked to the desk, carefully folded the letter that had dried in ink, stuffed it into a special small bamboo tube, and tied it to Lu Lu's leg.
Lu Lu, who was also well-fed and well-rested, gently pecked the back of Zhu Yuanyu's hand with its slightly curved beak, as if to say goodbye, and then fluttered his wings and flew out towards the open window.
After determining that the benefactor would not go to his grandfather's birthday banquet, the upright young man had to go home dejectedly, but before leaving, he remembered one thing, he looked at Zhu Yuanyu and said, "Benefactor...... I forgot to ask you what's your name...... And also...... My name is Tong Bao. ”
Zhu Yuanyu happily told him his name.
The upright young man left satisfied.
Two days later, just as Zhu Yuanyu had already played around the town and was about to leave for the next stop, Tong Bao came again, followed by a ghost.
Zhu Yuanyu frowned and looked at Tong Bao, and found that his eyes were dark and his face was blue, which was very different from his previous appearance; although his previous appearance was not very good, at least his complexion was ruddy and shiny, and he knew that he was healthy at a glance.
What's going on with this ghost now, and how did the ghost behind it provoke it?
Behind Tong Bao is a female ghost, seeing Zhu Yuanyu looking at her, she actually looked back and smiled, unspeakably weird.
Zhu Yuanyu asked bluntly: "Who have you offended?"
Tong Bao was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze: "No......"
"That's weird...... Zhu Yuanyu had seen Tong Bao's breath before, it was very clean, and it was impossible to take the initiative to provoke dirty things. Generally speaking, only people who have done bad things and have evil thoughts are easy to provoke dirty things, such a stupid and stupid upright young man has to be generous to the father and daughter who he doesn't know, and he is almost regarded as a wronged leader, how can he do something hurtful...... So the female ghost behind him must have been deliberately designed.
Someone wants to harm Tong Bao. 166 Reading Network
