lord and beauty

Almost the moment Tan Yan opened her mouth, Tan Qiu turned around and followed Tan Yan's gaze to a figure entering the door.

He was dressed in a black short-breasted martial robe without unnecessary embellishments, but he was tall and peaceful, without concealing his handsome appearance.

The person who came seemed to be a little surprised, there was a layer of black under his eyes, and he was a little surprised on his tired face. He quickly came back to his senses, nodded slightly at Tanqiu and the others, and said with a smile: "Meet you again."

The person who came was Xu Cong, the person who rescued Ruan Yue and Tan Yan in the night market yesterday.

Tan Qiu also thought it was a coincidence, and when he was about to say a few words, his shoulder was lightly bumped.

Jiang Beimu stood aside with arms folded. Seeing Tan Qiu's eyes, he raised his chin slightly and gestured in Tan Yan's direction.

Tan Qiu looked suspiciously, but saw that Tan Yan's cheeks were flushed with a thin layer of red, and her fingertips that were hooked with the straw rope were tense several times, as if she wanted to say something, but she was too embarrassed to speak.

Tan Qiu suddenly understood, turned a corner when the words came to his mouth, smiled and said to Tan Yan: "Isn't this the benefactor who saved you and Ruan Yue yesterday, thank you soon."

"It really frustrates me." Xu Cong waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's just a matter of convenience, as long as the two girls are safe." After speaking, he seemed to remember something again, and his eyes fell on Tan Yan's hand Medicine bag, "I left in a hurry last night. The girl whose leg was injured should be seen by a doctor, right?"

Tan Yan had already adjusted her demeanor while taking a breath, reluctantly bowed to Xu Congyingying according to the demeanor she had learned from Ruan Yue in the past few days, "I failed to thank you benefactor yesterday, I..."

"Okay, okay, don't be too polite." Xu Cong strode forward, and gave Tan Yan a little help, and Tan Yan withdrew his hand and looked at his brother.

"Brother Xu can accept my sister's gift, but I, as a brother, will accept whatever I say."

Tan Qiu stepped forward with a smile, and took out a few taels of silver from his sleeve, "This is all my net worth, brother Xu, don't be disgusted."

Although Tan Qiu didn't give much money, it was enough for half a month's expenses for an ordinary family, and besides, he didn't bring much money with him today.

Xu Cong refused to accept, "How is this good? It is absolutely unacceptable."

While Xu Cong declined, Tan Qiu couldn't really get it back, so he had to keep pushing back and forth, talking dryly, wishing he could just stuff the money in, and because he was his sister's savior, he couldn't do it. Qianglai, helplessly kept winking at Jiang Beimu, hoping that he would help out, otherwise the two of them would have to go to hell.

But Jiang Beimu looked like he was throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper, standing aside as if he was determined to watch, Tan Qiu secretly gritted his teeth, thinking that he must have remembered the matter of buying wine just now, and when he got back, he would pinch his nose and pour him a drink. A few cups, and then tied up to dry him.

Tan Yan couldn't help dissuading her, but Xu Cong turned around to avoid Tan Qiu's hand, then strode towards the counter, and hurriedly said to the clerk behind the counter: "That hundred-year-old Is there any more ginseng? This time I have enough money, if you have any, just bring it to me."

The clerk shook his head and said, "What a coincidence, you came half a day earlier... No, you came an hour earlier, and it just sold out an hour ago today. He also has an old mother who needs emergency help at home, so I can't hold him back." Sell ​​it, wouldn't that mean that you will die? Although my brother has some friendship with you, I can't be the master."

When Xu Cong heard this, his face darkened instantly, he pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "Thank you very much, then I will go to another house to see."

"The only ones from the other houses are those who ask for the price." The clerk Xu was kind and persuaded: "I gave you the reserve price because of my brother's relationship. If you look at the whole city, you can only stay with me." I bought the cheapest one, otherwise I have to go up the mountain to dig it myself."

Xu Cong smiled wryly, "The doctors who are young say that the effect will not be good, and I can't afford the ones that are too high."

Tan Qiu was listening, rolled his eyes, and suddenly had an idea, and couldn't wait to go to Jiang Beimu's side and whispered to him, Tan Qiu's warm breath brushed past Jiang Beimu's ears, The broken hair on the temples flicked lightly, and suddenly he was distracted, and he responded perfunctorily a few times.

"Well, I'll make an exception and sell you. There is still a nearly 300-year-old one in the store. The beard is much longer than the previous one, and it looks good. It usually costs 300 taels. It's not easy to see you. Give me 150 taels, and I'll sell you a piece." Seeing Xu Cong's hesitant expression, the man also sighed, and persuaded him earnestly,

"You have to know, how can this ginseng be cut up and sold? People buy a whole stalk. This one has been accumulated for a long time. I will ask the shopkeeper. He may agree to cut it up and sell it separately. If you agree, I will cut off the largest section and give you some more beards."

"Although it's not as complete as what you've seen before, it's still 200 years longer than before, and the medicine's effect may be better."

Xu Cong seemed to be moved by the words, his expression was a little moved, and his hand subconsciously touched his waist pouch, "But I only brought 100 taels, and I was going to buy that ginseng..."

Xu Cong hesitated for a while, squeezed and loosened the hand holding the purse several times, struggling in his heart, and finally gritted his teeth: "Can I wait a few more days? I'll go back and see where I can get some."

Seeing Tan Qiu on the sidelines, he couldn't help but feel a little bit embarrassed. He was used to living comfortably in Jiang's mansion, and Jiang Beimu looked like he was not short of money. He almost forgot how important money is, especially in the Before this kind of life-and-death juncture, a penny really stumps a hero.

The clerk was silent for a long time, and couldn't stop sighing. Xu Cong showed embarrassment, and when he wanted to ask again, the clerk patted his head hard and said cheerfully: "Forget it, I'll leave it for you for half a month at most. If it's too late, I can't guarantee that I will be able to sell it to you."

Xu Cong breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to thank him, he suddenly heard a clear and warm voice coming from behind him.

"Brother Xu, do you need ginseng? It just so happens that I have one at home, and I bought it some time ago to honor my mother, but my mother is in good health and cannot eat this great tonic, so I put it aside at home for a few days, just in time for you to use it. "

Tan Qiu had already taken the silver back, and now he was standing beside Jiang Beimu, looking at Xu Cong with a smile, and said in a warm voice.After speaking, it seemed that he knew that Xu Cong would refuse, so Shi Shiran said first, "I know Brother Xu doesn't want to take it for nothing, but I think you are also in a hurry to save Lingci, and you will inevitably have long nights and dreams before saving money, so why don't you take it first?" Go back and use it, at that time, convert a few percent according to the market price, and then give me the money, it will be regarded as I sold it to you."

Xu Cong had mixed feelings in his heart, looking at the son of Zhilan Yushu in front of him, he didn't know what to say for a while, but Tan Qiu had already seen through his thoughts, and waved his hand gently, "Okay, there is no need to say more to thank you, It's getting late, we should go back, where is your home? I will order someone to send it to you tomorrow."

"Don't dare to trouble your son." Xu Cong's eyes were slightly red, and he barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, and cupped his hands, "I'll go to the door tomorrow."

Tan Qiu smiled slightly, and giving this ginseng almost repaid his sister and Ruan Yue's two debts of kindness. This feeling of being debt-free and light-hearted made him feel a little smug.

"Okay, let's not talk anymore, we should go back, then see you at the Jiang Mansion tomorrow."

Generally, mansions with large mansions are on the same street, and Tan Qiu was not worried that Xu Cong would not be able to find him, so he finally set out to leave after a few simple greetings.

Jiang Beimu watched the whole process from the sidelines without saying a word, and followed behind him with the wine bought by Tan Qiu, and the two left the shop together.

Tan Yan walked at the end, and when she came to the door, she still couldn't help but turned her head to Xu Cong and said, "Mr. Good health."

Xu Cong's eyes moved slightly, and he smiled softly at Tan Yan. Tan Yan was taken aback, a cloud of clouds rose on her face, then she turned her head suddenly as if she had been bitten by something, and quickly followed Tan Qiu's pace with the medicine bag in her hand. .

A few people went back to the original street along the path, where the coachman was still dozing off. Jiang Beimu lightly knocked on the shaft to wake up the coachman. At this moment, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the dew was darker, and there were already fewer people on the street. , but the shops on both sides are still brightly lit...

Tan Qiu returned home, took a shower, and then fell down on the bed, moaning loudly.

Just now the maid specially came to the bed and found that the bed was smelled of warm incense. Now the quilt is warm, mixed with a little cold plum fragrance, and it has the effect of sleeping. Tan Qiu lay down with his eyelids drooping, thinking in a daze It seemed that he had promised Jiang Beimu something during the day, but when he felt sleepy, he had to ignore everything.

Half-dream and half-awake, Tan Qiu suddenly felt that someone had moved her seat, and her whole body fell into a softness. Tan Qiu closed her eyes and hummed twice, knowing without thinking that it was Jiang Beimu who was playing with herself .

I don't know if Tan Qiu's humming played a role, or for some other reason.Jiang Beimu gently covered him with a quilt.

Tan Qiu moved his ass|buttocks, turned over and faced the inside, made up his mind not to open his eyes and pretend to be asleep, as long as he fell asleep, Jiang Beimu couldn't do anything to himself, could he still give himself to that in his sleep? .

The more Tan Qiu thought about it, the more certain she became, and she also quietly buried her head in the bedding, pretending to hide from the candlelight.

Sure enough, just after he buried his head in, there were a few extremely slight rustling sounds of the cloth beside the bed, and then the candle was blown out, and the room was instantly plunged into darkness.

Vaguely, Tan Qiu felt that Jiang Beimu was on the bed, and when he was about to turn over to make room for him, his lower body suddenly felt cold, and his ankle was clasped by a strong hand. The palm was rough and warm, and the thumb The fingertips even rubbed against his ankle lightly without any concealment, and the numbness went all the way up the ankle in an instant, almost swimming through his whole body, and even his waist softened.

After eating and walking so much, his feet were indeed a little sore. At this moment, Jiang Beimu was gently pinching his ankles, and Tan Qiu was even more indescribably comfortable. snort.

In the darkness, Jiang Beimu's deep laughter came, as if he had guessed that he was pretending to be asleep.
