lord and beauty

Tan Qiu and Tan Yan froze at the same place, especially Tan Qiu once wondered if he had found the wrong person, otherwise he would follow Xu Cong's filial spirit But why his old mother looks like she wants to cut off contact.

"Brother... this..." Tan Yan was also very surprised, and silently put the food box back, with a hint of embarrassment on her face.

"Cough, maybe you heard it wrong and found the wrong house. Let's go back first."

Tan Qiu couldn't tell why, so he could only reply vaguely.

Tan Yanming thought hard about the address, no matter how she recalled it seemed to be this place, but the old woman looked like that, it was really confusing.

"Then... alright." Tan Yan ran out of ideas, so she could only carry the food box and go back with Tan Qiu to make plans.

But as soon as the two turned around, they saw a familiar figure rushing towards them.

Xu Cong wore a dark blue martial arts robe, his steps were windy, and his face was full of anxiety. When he saw the two brothers and sister Tan Qiu, his worry was even worse. stop.

"I got the news... Huh." Xu Cong gasped for breath, with thin sweat on his forehead, "I said that someone came to my house, I thought it should be you, as expected..."

Tan Yan's face showed joy, but she was about to speak, but was preempted by Tan Qiu.

"This is your house? I thought I went wrong." Tan Qiu pointed to the closed door seriously.

Xu Cong sighed: "My mother was not like this before. Once she accidentally fell and knocked her head, her brain was not very easy to use. Sometimes it was good and sometimes it was bad. When it was good, she could still listen to my words. When it was bad, she could still listen to me. Sometimes even I don’t recognize it.”

Xu Cong smiled wryly, "The ginseng is just a sigh of relief for my mother, she can't even get out of bed in the first few days."

Tan Qiu smacked his lips, subconsciously turned his head to look at the door, but saw that there was another crack in the door at some point, and after meeting Tan Qiu's eyes, the old woman closed the door very quickly.

Tan Qiu always felt something strange, but couldn't explain it.

"Brother Xu, this is a fruit cake made by me...and my mother, specially for you." Tan Yan said while looking for a gap, Xu Cong heard this, a smile appeared on his handsome face, "I just mentioned it casually. , it's not worth the trouble of being a girl."

"It's okay, it's not troublesome to do this." Tan Yan quickly explained, and then handed the food box to Xu Cong's arms, "You take it, take it as some kindness from me to the old man."

"Then... I will be disrespectful." Xu Cong did not refuse too much, accepted the food box, held it in his hand, and stared at Tan Yan in front of him, until Tan Yan's cheeks were flushed, and she couldn't help turning her head away. Go, Xu Cong sighed, "Young lady, I really don't know what to do."

"I'm just repaying the favor..." Tan Yan lowered her head unnaturally, her fingertips gently hooking the hem of her clothes, "Brother Xu doesn't have to find it difficult."

Tan Qiu stood aside, looking back and forth between the two, seeing that the atmosphere between the two was getting more and more uncomfortable, she couldn't help coughing lightly, and interrupted: "Since the cake has also been delivered, if it's all right, let's go first." Farewell, the shop has just opened, and there are still many things to deal with."

"But...it's nothing." Tan Yan said in a daze, Tan Qiu glanced at her indifferently, Tan Yan closed her mouth instantly, and said vaguely: "Well, it seems that it is true..."

"That's okay, the house is dilapidated, and I haven't had time to clean it in the future. When my mother recovers in the future, I will come to thank you in person." Xu Cong nodded slightly, his eyes were like water, and his temperament was calm and gentle. Just standing there, there was a kind of A reassuring feeling.

It's a pity that in Tan Qiu's eyes, no tall and handsome handsome man can compare to a strand of Jiang Beimu's hair. Thinking of this, Tan Qiu couldn't help but miss Jiang Beimu even more. They only separated for a moment, but it made him feel sad. He is so hard.

"Then I'll take my leave." Tan Qiu couldn't wait to return to Jiang Beimu's side, and didn't bother to say polite words. He passed Xu Cong and walked on to the carriage, but when he passed by Xu Cong, there was a very faint feeling. The sweet fragrance rushed into the tip of his nose suddenly, but when he wanted to smell it a few more times, the fragrance disappeared without a trace, as if it was just his illusion.

This scent made him feel uncomfortable instinctively, but he didn't have a clue when he thought about it, so Tan Qiu had to attribute it to the fact that he didn't like the sweet scent on Xu Cong. After all, sweet scents are usually used by women. Man, with this sweet fragrance on his body, he knows it without thinking about it.

But it looks like a human being.

Tan Qiu secretly sighed that people's hearts were not old, and got into the carriage together with his sister, first sent Tan Yan back to Jiang's residence, and continued to go to the shop by himself in the carriage.

Tan Qiu thought about Jiang Beimu all the way, got out of the car and ran towards the backyard in a hurry. On the way, he casually asked a boy and learned that Jiang Beimu was in the study, so he trotted all the way and pushed the door open with a "clang".

"Brother Mu!"

Tan Qiu shouted, but was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The room was warm and warm. Jiang Beimu was only wearing unlined clothing, leaning on the couch with his chest half exposed, a thin quilt covering his waist and abdomen, and holding a book in his left hand. He seemed to be frightened, his eyes There was a moment of bewilderment, and then he reacted.

Tan Qiu let out a strange cry, and flew up, holding Jiang Beimu down, and touched his heart with his cold hand without any explanation.

"I'm shutting doors outside and drinking the northwest wind, but you are fine! Hide here and sleep!"

Jiang Beimu was shivering from the cold, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he pulled Tan Qiu into his arms and said with a smile, "Then the master is here to keep you warm."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Beimu lifted the thin quilt with his hands, and pressed Tan Qiu under his body.

An hour later, Tan Qiu lay disheveled and out of breath on the rug, his whole body was embraced by Jiang Beimu, as hot as being in a stove, his cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were blurred.

"No, it's going to be hot to death."

"Is this not enough? If you are in the camp, with your physical strength, you can't even keep up with the one at the end of the crane." Jiang Bei mused.

"Yes yes yes, not as powerful and brave as General Jiang, I'm just a small fish." Tan Qiu didn't bother to argue with him, leaned softly on Jiang Beimu's chest, and gently slid her fingertips over Jiang Beimu Feeling the soft and hard muscles at that time, I found it very interesting.

Jiang Beimu grabbed Tan Qiu's mischievous hand, and half-threateningly said, "Don't touch it randomly, you have to go back early while the weather is clear."

Tan Qiu snorted twice, turned off the fire, and lay down quietly for a while, then suddenly thought of what happened just now, and murmured to Jiang Bei half-complainingly: "But then again, Xu Cong didn't know if he really went to the willow From Lane Flower Street, I just met him, and there is a sweet smell on my body, which really gives me a headache. Such a person, you can't rest assured that you will hand over your sister to him."

Jiang Beimu responded casually, "Then don't marry him."

Tan Qiu listened, snorted contentedly, and buried her head in Jiang Beimu's arms. After a while, her eyelids began to fight, and she fell into a drowsy sleep.

For several days, everything was calm.

The shop was open as usual, and there was income every day. There was no news from Sam's side, and there was no movement from the court side, which worried Tan Qiu the most, as if Jiang Beimu had really been forgotten.

Tan Qiu's mood was even better, he wished that the court would never come to Jiang Beimu in his life.

In a good mood, Tan Qiu finds everything pleasing to the eye. At first he wanted to persuade Tan Yan not to send cakes, but Tan Yan didn't mention Xu Cong, only said that it was for the elderly. Tan Qiu was in a good mood, so he She didn't care too much about it, anyway, Tan Yan didn't go every day, she only went every three to five times, and there were servants accompanying her, so Tan Qiu wasn't too worried.

It wasn't until noon today, when everyone was seated and ready to eat, that Tan Qiu belatedly realized that Tan Yan seemed to have disappeared all morning.

"She has been very close to Mr. Xu in the past few days." Mother Tan held the baby in her arms and said helplessly, "I just met yesterday to set off the river lanterns and watch a boat show."

"I went out this early in the morning, and I don't know if I will say anything." Tan Qiu was quite dissatisfied. What Tan Yan did was getting more and more excessive. Although she doesn't pay attention to the defense of men and women nowadays, she is a girl who has not left the court. In the daughter's house, those who frequently go out to meet men, and are still undecided about getting married, will inevitably lose their tongues if they are seen.

"I'll go get her back." Tan Qiu got up and said.

"Eat first, you can go after dinner." Jiang Beimu scooped up a bowl of soup and handed it to Tan Qiu.

"Last night, she also told me that she was going to deliver some more cakes to Xu's family today. Maybe it was the cakes, and she would be back soon."

After recuperation, most of Ruan Yue's foot injury has healed, and she also sat at the table at the moment, saying softly.

"There is no one like her..." Tan Qiu sighed, and when he looked up, he saw his mother looking at him, and immediately understood what she meant, so he had to smile wryly: "I will talk to her. "

After all, on the other side, Tan Yan just got out of the carriage, holding a food box in her hand, and knocked on the wooden door again.

But this time, no old woman came to open the door. Tan Yan waited for a long while and listened even more, but she couldn't hear any movement inside.

"Aren't you at home?" Tan Yan murmured to herself, and when she turned around with a sigh and was about to leave, the wooden door slightly opened a crack.

"Ma'am? It's me..."

Tan Yan thought for a moment, then walked back to the door, and called softly towards the crack of the door, but there was no response.

The door was unlocked, but no one answered, maybe something happened.

Thinking of this, Tan Yan's heart tightened, thinking that elder brother Xu was working during the day, and there was only the aunt at home. If something happened, the neighbors would not be able to take care of him...

"Ma'am? Are you at home? I'm Tan Yan. I'm here to bring you cakes."

Tan Yan deliberately went back to the car and called the servant to go into the room with her. After opening the door, Tan Yan walked straight to the bedroom without looking sideways. When she reached the door, there was intermittent choking sound coming from the room, but she was extremely weak.

Tan Yan didn't care about etiquette, she hurriedly opened the door and entered.

"aunt?!"

The room was dark, and the moment the door was opened, it seemed that the rising dust could be seen. The bed curtain was dilapidated and drooping, and swayed slowly with the breeze that entered when the door was opened. His trembling hands scratched at the air, as if trying to grab something, and a hoarse moan of pain escaped from it.

In fear, Tan Yan hurriedly stuffed the food box into the arms of the servant behind her, and quickly stepped forward to lift the curtain, but was startled by the scene in front of her.

A skinny old woman was lying on the bed, covered with a stiff quilt, with an unpleasant smell, and she hadn't been exposed to the sun for an unknown amount of time. Scratching forward, his eyes were cloudy and dull.

"Ma'am?!" Tan Yan untied the knot with trembling hands, and stretched out her hand to help the old woman sit up.

"Water..." The old woman's voice was as weak as a candle in the wind, as if it would go out at any moment.

Tan Yan nodded hastily, and the moment she stood up and turned around, her breath suddenly suffocated.

A figure stood behind her at some point, looking at her silently.
