lord and beauty

"Mother..." Tan Qiu's face froze slightly, he hesitated and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Tan's mother looked deeply at Tan Qiu for a long time before she let out a long sigh, "He's not an ordinary person, is he?"

"Brother Mu is naturally not an ordinary person, as you can see, he is not in business." Tan Qiu laughed.

"You are still pretending to be stupid with me." But Tan's mother suddenly turned red, her tone trembling slightly, "He has something to do with the City Lord's Mansion, and you are just an ordinary citizen, how can you have anything to do with him? When you disappeared You are only a few years old, a child, in addition to being sold as a slave, you are also sold into some fireworks. You don’t have calluses or scars from years of hard work, which is enough to show that you have not done that at least all these years. As a rough envoy, the only thing left is... and only..."

At this point, Tan's mother could no longer suppress her emotions, she swallowed all the unfinished words into her throat, her hands as rough as dead trees tightly hugged Tan Qiu, and her rickety and frail body was even more crumbling like fallen leaves.

"Mother doesn't care about these kinds of glory and wealth, good clothes and good food. Mother only wants you to be well. If you are forced, then we will leave here immediately. Even if we go out to beg for food in the future, mother will not let you be wronged again."

Tan Qiu gently hugged her weeping mother in her arms, and didn't rush to explain, she just stroked Tan's mother's back to comfort her. After a long time, when Tan's mother calmed down a little, Tan Qiu said softly :

"It turns out that my mother could have guessed this a long time ago. I was afraid that you would dislike me if you found out."

Tan Qiu's tone was flat, neither happy nor sad, and there was a sense of relief, but it was even more worrying when it fell into Tan Mu's ears. Before she could speak, Tan Qiu took the conversation lightly.

"Mom, sit down first, there are some things I want to tell you clearly."

Tan Qiu sat down at the table with Tan Mu on his arm. New tea was already set on the table. Tan Qiu poured a cup and handed it to Tan Mu, "Mother, you guessed right, I was indeed sold into the Chunlou after that day. , but at that time I was too young and very thin, and I was just serving some young masters in the building. There, I was lucky enough to meet a man who treated me very well and rescued me several times. The thing was done because of him, but it's a pity that I didn't let you meet each other."

Tan Qiu didn't say too much about Chunlou, and she just revealed it lightly in a few words, and Tan Qiu would never tell his mother about the hardships of the past few years.

"To tell you the truth, I actually thought about committing suicide many times during those years." Tan Qiu smiled wryly, "I used to think that I would never see you, but I met him, that is, Mu elder brother."

"He and I are both willing." Up to this point, Tan Qiuyan suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to touch the bridge of his nose, "He is indeed not an ordinary person, and I don't intend to hide it from you. In fact, Brother Mu, he was married before. There is also a child, but the first spouse has been missing for a long time."

Seeing that the worried look on Tan's mother's face still did not fade, Tan Qiu continued: "As for Brother Mu's identity... you may not believe it, mother, he was originally the great general of our Yuan Dynasty, and the head of the City Lord's Mansion. Xiao Ye met in the capital many years ago, so here, Xiao Ye often takes care of him."

After Tan Qiuyan said it, he carefully looked at his mother's face, but Tan's mother seemed to be in a daze and couldn't react for a while.

"Mother...?"

Tan Qiu reached out and gently pushed Tanmu's arm, and Tanmu woke up suddenly, her eyes were not happy, but worried.

Tan Qiu knew what she was going to say, so she interrupted with a smile: "I know what I said, mother, you will not be at ease, I also trust Brother Mu, no matter how much I say, why don't you see it for yourself, during this time Day, mother, you and your sister will live here first, after a long time, you will naturally know what kind of person Brother Mu is."

Tan's mother was silent for a long time, and then she let out a soft breath, and she agreed, and a big stone in Tan Qiu's heart fell to the ground, "Besides, I'm not at a disadvantage with your child, as well as Brother Mu's child. , his name is Jiang Zheng, I will bring him to you in the evening to show you, he is white and chubby, he is really cute, you will definitely like him!"

Tan's mother twitched the corners of her mouth and showed a forced smile. Tan Qiu saw that his brows and eyes were a little tired, and said softly: "Then I won't bother mother. You should have a good rest first, and I will come back in the evening."

Tan's mother didn't stop her this time, and sent Tan Qiu out of the house.

Tan Qiu stood at the door, heard no other movement in the room, and stood there for a while, suddenly Tan Qiu seemed to feel a gaze coming from behind him, sticking firmly to his body, when he turned around, he saw The door of the house where Tan Yan lived across the street creaked shut, as if she was hiding from something.

Tan Qiu was really helpless towards her younger sister, she only quietly looked at Tan Yan's door for a while, seeing that she had no intention of opening the door again, then sighed indistinctly, and walked out of the courtyard.

Corresponding to the small courtyard is Zhou Zhang’s former courtyard, so Tan Qiu had only walked a few steps when he looked up and saw Zhou Zhang moved a stool and sat at the gate of the courtyard, holding a wooden stick in his left hand, Holding the dagger in his right hand, he didn't know what he was cutting, and there were pieces of wood on the ground.

Jiang Beimu stood beside Zhou Zhang with arms folded. The two seemed to be talking. Not long after Tan Qiu walked out, Jiang Beimu saw him.

Tan Qiu's steps of trying to save Qiu Ge stopped abruptly, and looked at Jiang Beimu.

At the same time, Jiang Beimu also turned his head to talk to Zhou Zhang, Zhou Zhang shook his head nonchalantly, then Jiang Beimu got up and walked towards Tanqiu.

"Why did you come out wearing a cloak again?"

Jiang Beimu's first sentence was to put his head around first, and then he took off his fur cloak and put it on Tan Qiu.

Tan Qiu felt the breath left on the fur cloak, the soft fur collar almost sunk his entire chin, and made his face delicate and compact. Jiang Beimu put the fur cloak on Tan Qiu gently, pointing Jian wiped Tan Qiu's smooth and soft skin with nostalgia, with a bit of nostalgia and affection.

Tan Qiu tilted his head slightly, put his cheeks in Jiang Beimu's warm and generous palm, and said sullenly, "I told my mother."

Jiang Beimu remained expressionless, "Well, what did she say?"

Tan Qiu thought for a while, and said honestly: "She is still worried, I will let her stay for a while, and I can always see your good."

Jiang Beimu smiled slightly, noncommittal, "Parents always worry about their children, for fear that they will suffer a little grievance. Besides, you and your mother have just met again, so it is really difficult for her to accept me all at once."

"I just wronged you." Tan Qiu looked apologetic, stepped forward and gently hugged Jiang Beimu, and said in a dull voice: "I will try to convince my mother again, she is very nice, give her a few days Come to think of it, she'll agree."

"If your mother disagrees, will you abandon me?"

Jiang Beimu grabbed out the little rabbit buried in his chest, twisted Tan Qiu's jaw with his fingertips, and forced Tan Qiu to look up at him with a slight force.

"If she doesn't agree..." Tan Qiu pursed her lips, her eyes showed a little determination, she gently took Jiang Beimu's wrist, and said seriously, "Then I'll keep persuading her until she agrees."

Jiang Beimu lowered his eyes with a smile, and lightly rubbed his fingertips against the soft lips of the man in his arms, "Don't worry, your mother will agree."

"Why are you so sure?" Tan Qiu wanted to laugh, but Jiang Beimu's words were so swearing, it seemed that he was being self-indulgent in his worries.

"Isn't there still Zheng'er?" Jiang Beimu smiled calmly.

Tan Qiu couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Then we're thinking of going together."
