Chapter 44 Let me talk about business

When Tan Qiu saw clearly that the man was Zhou Zhang, he immediately lost his temper.She pursed her lips and planned to continue walking forward. Unexpectedly, Tan Qiu had just walked two steps. Just passing the corner of the corridor, she suddenly felt a gust of wind sweeping behind her. Tan Qiu stopped, turned her head to look, and found that Zhou Zhang was standing A few steps behind him, with his hands behind his back, he looked at Tan Qiu with a slight nod and lowered his eyes.

Tan Qiu also saluted him back, turned around and continued walking forward.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Zhang walked behind him so unhurriedly, with a distance of a few people, and the two walked in tandem for a while.

It wasn't until Tan Qiu finally couldn't stand the shadowy gaze behind him that he stopped and turned around and said sincerely to Zhou Zhang: "You don't have to follow me, you should have your own business to do, right?"

"Brother Jiang asked me to protect you." Zhou Zhang replied indifferently.

Tan Qiu felt helpless when she heard the words, she looked unhappy yesterday, but after a night she even called out "Brother Jiang".I don't know what Jiang Beimu did.

"Do you know where the master has gone?" Tan Qiu decided not to talk to him, after all he was still a little afraid of Zhou Zhang.

Zhou Zhang didn't hide it when he heard the words, he lifted his chin slightly, and leaned against the doorpost beside him, "He went to the shop early in the morning."

"Did you say when you'll be back?"

"No." Zhou Zhang raised his eyebrows.

Tan Qiu responded, turned around and continued to walk in silence. After walking a few steps, Zhou Zhang stopped him, "I advise you not to leave Jiang's residence."

"Xiao Ye has already sent the hidden guards of the City Lord's Mansion to plant near Jiang's Mansion, and with me in the mansion, no one can touch you, but you are going out, I don't guarantee that I will be able to watch you."

"I'll go find the master." Tan Qiu didn't want to talk too much with him, so he started to leave after leaving a word.

"Brother Jiang doesn't like disobedient people." Zhou Zhang didn't follow, instead, he looked at Tan Qiu's back and said, "I thought you would know about it."

Tan Qiu paused, but didn't look back.

"In the past, in the army, Brother Jiang was famous for his unselfishness. All the soldiers under him were as fierce as tigers, and the military discipline was strict."

Tan Qiu was taken aback by Zhou Zhang's words, but suddenly realized that Zhou Zhang seemed to know Jiang Beimu better than Xiao Ye. After all, according to Xiao Ye, Zhou Zhang should be a certain general under Jiang Beimu's command.

Tan Qiu recalled the terrible scar on Zhou Zhang's cheek, felt sorry for him, coughed lightly, turned around and said, "I just want to walk, I don't want to leave the house."

Without waiting for Zhou Zhang to speak, Tan Qiu continued to ask: "How did you sleep last night? I haven't gone back to sleep in the yard for a long time. If you are not used to something, you can tell me."

Zhou Zhang saw that the attitude of the man in front of him had changed drastically, and he smiled slightly and said, "It's okay."

It was the first time Tan Qiu saw Zhou Zhang smile, maybe it was because of the scar, Zhou Zhang looked very scary when he was not smiling, but now he grinned... Tan Qiu could only swallow his saliva and let out a haha Asked: "Did you play the flute last night? It's very nice, what song is it?"

Zhou Zhang saw that Tan Qiu was looking for something to say, but he didn't expose it, and replied very cooperatively: "It's nothing, it's just a little song from my hometown."

Tan Qiu groaned, feeling embarrassed, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

But Zhou Zhang stood up, walked slowly forward a few steps, stopped at an arm's length away from Tan Qiu, bent down slightly, and looked at Tan Qiulai.

Tan Qiu's scalp was about to explode when he was stared at by the snake-like cold gaze, like the prey being targeted by the poisonous snake, he felt that he had nowhere to hide.

It wasn't until Tan Qiu couldn't stand it anymore and was about to say something to divert his attention that Zhou Zhang said slowly: "I thought you would be different, but now it seems that it is nothing more than that."

"Perhaps I have eaten too much delicacies from mountains and seas, so I want to try porridge and side dishes."

Zhou Zhang had a nasty smile on his face, as if he wanted to see Tan Qiu's furious appearance.

"The delicacies you mentioned...do you mean the master's original wife?" Tan Qiu asked softly.

Zhou Zhang's face was a little dazed, as if he didn't expect Tan Qiu not only not to get angry, but to question him instead.

Tan Qiu knew that it was useless to get angry, but Zhou Zhang saw it as a joke. In addition, he had just heard Zhou Zhang's words, and he thought of Jiang Beimu's light "I don't remember." It really made Tan Qiu curious. Curiosity forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart.

Zhou Zhang reacted quickly, showing a meaningful smile, and said immediately: "Brother Jiang hasn't told you yet."

Tan Qiu's heart skipped a beat, but he kept a smile on his face, looking at Zhou Zhang.

"Brother Jiang's wife is well-known in Beijing as a lady of every family, golden branches and jade leaves. They have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and there is a good story in Beijing. Back then, on Dama Zhuque Street, many ladies secretly had feelings for our Brother Jiang, but our Brother Jiang At that time, Dudu fell in love with his little Qingmei, and later on, he was married to a bright matchmaker in eight palanquins, causing a sensation in the capital."

Zhou Zhang folded his arms and said with a smile, but there was no smile in those eyes, on the contrary, there was uncomfortable malice.

Tan Qiu didn't know why Zhou Zhang hated him so much. It seemed that he was the one who wanted to assassinate Jiang Beimu. It seemed that this was the first time he met Zhou Zhang, right?

"You don't have to lie to me." Tan Qiu said calmly, "Master told me that he grew up in a border town since he was a child. Where did he come from a childhood sweetheart in the capital?"

Zhou Zhang was exposed but did not show any embarrassment. Instead, he spread his hands and said, "Believe it or not."

Tan Qiu suddenly wanted to ask Zhou Zhang if he had offended him somewhere, but he held back the words, even if he asked, Zhou Zhang would only mock him.

Tan Qiu shook his head, passed Zhou Zhang, and walked back towards Wanqiu Pavilion.

The nanny in the yard was playing with the baby, who was kneeling in the mud. This time, he abandoned the small shovel and just squeezed the mud with his hands, making his body dirty and messy, with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, Tan Qiu felt relieved for some reason, and the annoyance just disappeared. She stepped forward and picked up the baby from the mud, reached out to wipe the mud stains on his cheeks, and said with a smile: "Whatever you do with mud, it's okay to do it." It's a little cat."

The baby blinked, stretched out his arms to wrap around Tan Qiu's neck, snuggled up to it and dawdled for a while, Tan Qiu enjoyed it very much, he was so happy in his heart, he kissed the baby several times on the cheeks before putting him down.

"Young master, don't worry, the little doll just likes to run around and play in the mud, and so does my one." The nanny came forward and explained to Tan Qiu with a smile.

Tan Qiu didn't mean to blame, "Let him go, anyway, the yard is a mess, and the master won't be angry."

The nanny's face moved slightly when she heard the words, her eyes scrutinized Tan Qiu's face for a moment, then she turned to look at the baby playing at the side, and said softly: "Is there any conflict between the young master and the master?"

Tan Qiu was a little dazed, "Why do you say that?"

The nanny smiled, stretched out her hand and pointed her fingertips between her brows, "Young master is wrinkling tightly here, always looking away in a daze, I boldly guess it's because of the master."

Tan Qiu sighed and didn't say much, turned around and sat on the stone steps, a little dazed.

Seeing this, the nanny said softly: "Actually, I like you very much, young master."

Tan Qiu shrank his pupils sharply and looked at the nanny.

The nanny realized what was wrong with her words, and quickly waved her hands and said: "No, it's not the kind of love between men and women. How should I put it... I haven't studied much, so I don't know what to say, that is, if the young master can become the head of the family Mom, I'm still very happy."

Tan Qiu heard the words with a bitter face, put his chin in his hands, and said in a low voice, "It's a pity that the master doesn't like it."

The nanny thought for a while, and then sat down on the stone steps. The two of them looked at the baby playing in the corner together, showing tenderness.

"The young master is actually not having a good life. I still remember that when I first came to Jiang's mansion, the young master was such a thin and timid doll. He seemed to be very afraid of the master, and the master rarely hugged him. After I took over, the master often disappeared for ten days and half a month."

The nurse stared at the baby's back in a daze, and said softly: "How can there be such a father?"

"I know that the master is busy with the shop, but the young master is only so old, and he followed the master all the way to settle in Sifang City. He must have been taken care of by his biological mother when he was young. Sometimes I feel that the young master is..." The nanny said half Suddenly paused for a moment, Tan Qiu heard the words and looked sideways, and the nanny continued:

"Not the master's child."

"But it's also because of you, my lord, the master is now caring more and more about the young master, and the young master is becoming more and more like a baby. So no matter how people in the house talk about you, my lord, I am very grateful to you."

Hearing this, Tan Qiu had mixed feelings in his heart, and didn't know what to say for a while, so he nodded slightly and sighed softly, "Let me give you a good word!"

The nanny smiled lightly, and said comfortingly: "Young master, you don't have to worry, I think the master still has feelings for you, young master."

"Really?" Tan Qiu raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

"Zhenger! Don't play with mud."

Tan Qiu heard people's voices, and suddenly turned his head to look at the gate of the courtyard, only to see Jiang Beimu came back at some time, standing by the door, happened to see the baby sitting on the ground, and scolded softly.

"Master!" Tan Qiu couldn't hide his joy, and flew down the stone steps, running towards Jiang Beimu.

Jiang Beimu pulled the baby up from the ground, nodded slightly at Tanqiu, and said, "Nothing happened."

Seeing Tan Qiu shaking his head, Jiang Beimu felt a little relieved.He knew that there were hidden guards all around Jiang's mansion, and with Zhou Zhang protecting him in the dark, Tan Qiu was safer than himself, but he subconsciously asked this question.

"Where did the master go?"

"Look in the shop. We need to prepare for the opening." Jiang Beimu handed the baby to the nanny and replied.

Tan Qiu was on the verge of talking, but at the end of his eyes, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking out from behind Jiang Beimu.

"Samu? Why are you here?" Tan Qiu looked at the tall and handsome man in front of him and exclaimed.

Samu still followed the black dog, smiled at Tanqiu, and said in Chinese with a slight accent: "I'm here to discuss a business with you."
