lord and beauty

In the side courtyard, the door is closed, the candlelight inside the house reflects the busy people inside on the window paper, the cold wind outside the house, the lamps flickering, the atmosphere inside the house is stagnant, as if the sky has fallen, the maid standing by the door is anxious and stretches her neck frequently Looking at the bed, but the middle tent was put down early in the morning to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. At this moment, the servant girl can only vaguely see a few figures through the gauze curtain.

Suddenly there was a strong cold wind outside the house, and it swept across the window frame suddenly and made a "beep", the maid's face turned pale, the cold wind blew in, and the candles in the house shook violently, faltering to extinguish.

The servant girl didn't dare to delay, she hastily took the lampshade, added lamp oil and replaced the candles. After the candles had stabilized, she lightly covered the lampshade. During her movements, she frequently glanced sideways and looked at the people in the bed from the corner of her eye.

At this time, it was close to the ground, and the young master's raving voice could still be heard.

"You don't have to wait, go down and eat something to rest, you don't need to guard tonight."

Jiang Beimu lifted the curtain, saw the little maid standing there trembling, rubbed her eyes tiredly, and said casually.

The servant girl responded timidly, and walked towards the door step by step, turning her head three times, but she still had no idea in her heart, she finally dawdled to the door, and then gritted her teeth and went out.

The moment the door was closed, the dim and warm candlelight disappeared, and it seemed that even her future became darker. The more she thought about it, the more frightened the servant girl became, with tears in her eyes, she was on the verge of crying.

If it wasn't for her being lazy this afternoon, the young master fell asleep all afternoon and she didn't go to look at it, and she wouldn't burn like this at night, and start talking nonsense.

Now she only hoped that the doctor would come in time, so that no root cause of the disease would be left behind.

The servant girl silently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, unable to conceal the regret in her heart, sobbing and sinking into the darkness.

Inside the house, Jiang Beimu poured a cup of tea and went back to the bedside.

The baby's cheeks were blushing, and he leaned against Tan Qiu's arms, his small hands unconsciously grasping Tan Qiu's skirt, his eyes closed tightly, his slender eyelashes wet with tears and sticking together, shaking a few times from time to time, but he didn't want to open it sign.

Tan's mother and Tan Yan stood at the end of the bed, also looking anxious.

Tan Qiu carefully took the silver spoon and put the last sip of the soup into the baby's mouth. He was relieved when he saw the soft mouth muttering down the soup, took off the bib, and reached out to touch the baby's chest. forehead.

"It's much better. I'll be fine after a night of sweating."

Jiang Beimu reached out and handed over the teacup, "Drink some water too, you've been busy for so long."

Seeing this, Tan's mother came to pick up the baby, so Tan Qiu stood up, took the water glass, raised her head and gulped it down, sighed, and said frightened: "I was scared to death, but fortunately the doctor came Come on, now the baby can sleep peacefully."

"Maybe I was shocked by the fire yesterday." Mother Tan gently put the baby down, and then pulled the quilt to cover it. There was no place for ventilation. She gently patted the baby's heart with her palm, and comforted the baby in a low voice: "It's okay, little one. If you are frightened, you will easily get sick. You and your sister had convulsions when they were young."

"I also didn't see him all afternoon. I wanted to have a look, but when he came, he curled up in a corner and I couldn't move. I touched it and found it was so hot."

Mother Tan has lingering fears, and now thinking about it, she still feels distressed, and she couldn't help complaining for a while, "That little girl is also, Zheng'er doesn't think it's strange to sleep all afternoon, she chats with people outside, don't say come in and take a look, otherwise she would have been able to I've gone to see a doctor, so I don't need to suffer for so long."

Tan Yan also liked this little nephew very much, so she chimed in a few words.

Tan Qiu raised his forehead and looked at Jiang Beimu helplessly.

Ever since Jiang Beimu stood up for him and changed the servants in the house, the maids and servants were not very polite to him, at least they behaved well and would not cause trouble. After all, Jiang Beimu, as the master, had a fixed monthly salary. Distribution, holidays and family visits and rewards, no one will be free to stir up trouble.

What's more, the baby is alive and well on weekdays, and has almost never been sick. The maid probably didn't think much about it, she just thought it was the child who was tired and sleepy.

Jiang Beimu cast a "relaxed" look at Tan Qiu, and then said, "Don't worry, Auntie, I will take care of the servant girl. It's getting late, you can go back and rest."

"I'm not sleepy yet, let's stay with Zheng'er for a while." Tan's mother declined Jiang Beimu's proposal, "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Just leave it to me, go and eat something quickly." Tan's mother saw the baby Breathing long and steady, he urged several people.

When Tan's mother said so, Tan Qiucai felt a hint of hunger belatedly, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his stomach, and looked at Jiang Beimu who was beside him.

Jiang Beimu couldn't help laughing when he saw him looking at him pitifully, but because his mother-in-law was present, he couldn't go too far, so he coughed lightly, "Yesterday the lantern market was disturbed, and tonight is the Lantern Festival, so let's go to the street together Let's eat something."

"I won't go." Tan's mother shook her head, just now Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu's various flirts were noticed by her, and she couldn't help but think of Tan Qiu who had just given birth many years ago. For a while, she was teasing and joking with her husband in the same way, but in a blink of an eye, things are different. If possible, she only hopes that Tan Qiu can find someone who is sincerely good to him, who can make up for the suffering of those years of homelessness. Now, it doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman, as long as Tan Qiu likes it.

but……

Jiang Beimu made her a little confused, and she couldn't be completely relieved.

Tan Qiu clung to Jiang Beimu's side, discussing with him in a low voice what to eat for dinner. Jiang Beimu stood with his hands behind his back, letting Tan Qiu hold his sleeves and listen to him with a smile.

"Does mother want to eat something? We'll bring it back to you later."

Tan Qiu pulled Jiang Beimu's sleeve, looked at Tan's mother and smiled.

"I don't need it." Tan Mu shook her head slightly, "You can just go, I will take care of Zheng'er at home, so feel free to play outside."

Tan Qiu responded, and then said to Tan Yan: "Do you want me to bring you something to eat?"

After Tan Qiufang asked, Tan Yan showed a hesitant look on his face, hesitating to speak.

"What's wrong?" Tan Qiu smiled.

"Can I... can I go with you?" Tan Yan clenched her fists, feeling a little nervous, she lowered her head after speaking.

Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu exchanged glances, and said naturally: "Of course, let's go together."

Tan Yan seemed to be pardoned, and a smile appeared on her face, "Thank you brother."

Tan Qiu and the others simply took a large cloak and put it on. The coachman over there had already received orders, and went to the stable to lead the horse first, and pulled the carriage to a stop at the door. After the three of them changed their clothes, they just got into the carriage.

"Go to Suzaku Street."

Jiang Beimu said to the coachman, and then put down the curtain, the coachman raised his whip and drove the horse, and the wheels turned and drove away in the distance.

Tan Qiu sat in the middle, with Tan Yan on the left and Jiang Beimu on the right. Tan Qiu was afraid of crowding Tan Yan, so she moved her butt slightly in the direction of Jiang Beimu. Then she came over suddenly and put her arms around his waist.

Tan Qiu was taken aback, and hurriedly looked in Tan Yan's direction.

There were no lights on the path, and the car was in darkness. Tan Qiu could only vaguely distinguish Tan Yan's figure huddled in the corner and was motionless. Seeing that she didn't notice anything unusual, Tan Qiu was relieved a little, and stretched out his hand in the darkness. Entering Jiang Beimu's cloak, he stretched out his hand and gently squeezed his strong waist.

Jiang Beimu froze and let go of him abruptly.

Tan Qiu was taken aback for a moment, seeing that Jiang Beimu shifted his seat uncomfortably, as if he was deliberately covering up something, his thoughts changed suddenly, and a strange idea suddenly appeared in his mind.

Jiang Beimu, isn't it ticklish?

Otherwise, pinch your waist and hide like this.

Seeing Jiang Beimu's silhouette motionless in the dark, sitting upright, the thought in Tan Qiu's mind seemed to be scratched by a cat, making his heart itch.

"Brother Mu."

In the darkness, Tan Qiu's voice sounded.

Jiang Beimu's figure trembled, and then he responded in a low voice.

"Ah."

"Sit over here." Tan Qiu patted the empty seat next to him. At this time, this place was as long as Jiang Beimu's forearm, which was not conducive to his verification of the matter.

Jiang Beimu refused without hesitation.

"Don't go."

Tan Qiu hit the snake with the stick, "Then I used to be the same." Tan Qiu moved towards Jiang Beimu's direction, but was suddenly blocked by Jiang Beimu's hand when he moved halfway.

Tan Qiu's purpose at this time is too obvious, Jiang Beimu knows what he wants to do with his toes, and usually forget it, and now there is Tan Qiu's sister in the car...

"I want to go there." Tan Qiubuyi put his head on Jiang Beimu's shoulder.

"Sit down obediently, and don't forget how you promised me this afternoon."

Jiang Beimu didn't want to really use brute force on Tan Qiu, so he had no choice but to be pulled closer by Tan Qiu a little bit, so he had to speak half-threateningly.

"What sound?" Tan Qiu asked suddenly.

Jiang Beimu was startled, subconsciously listened intently, and vaguely discerned the sound of gongs and drums approaching, as if there was a lively market not far away.I think it's almost here.

But before he could answer, there was a wet and warm touch from the base of his ear.

"hey-hey."

Tan Qiu's voice drew closer in an instant, and was already close to his ears, and a pair of thieves touched her restlessly.

And in the next moment, the noise of gongs and drums on the street hit like a tide, suddenly magnified several times, the lights of thousands of houses almost illuminated the night sky, and the warm orange light penetrated through the car windows and fell into the sky. Inside the car, Jiang Beimu's eyes just reflected Tan Qiu's cheeks that were close at hand. His starry eyes were shining brightly, his lips were red and his teeth were white, and he was very obedient. Unknowingly, Jiang Beimu's breathing seemed to have stopped at this moment.
