Tan Qiu had breakfast with Jiang Beimu for the first time, but Tan Qiu was not very hungry, so he simply drank a bowl of porridge and a bun and then gave up.

Jiang Beimu used to leave early and return late. Although Tan Qiu didn't know what he was busy with, he could still get a glimpse of it from the servants' conversations.

Tan Qiu put down the bowl, looked at Jiang Beimu who was eating, and asked, "Master is going out later?"

"Well, go to the shop." Jiang Beimu took a sip of porridge.

Tan Qiu pinched the chopsticks with her fingertips and turned around, hearing the words: "Where is the shop? I want to see it too."

"The new shop is on Lingyu Street. You can go there anytime you want, but it hasn't opened yet, and I have to deal with many things." Jiang Beimu drank the last mouthful of porridge, got up and took the handkerchief Mei Xiang handed over to wipe his mouth .

"What does the master plan to use the new shop for?" Tan Qiurao asked with interest.

Jiang Beimu thought for a moment, "It's still the same as the previous family, selling some food. Lingyu Street is more prosperous, and as the New Year is approaching, many people will go to Lingyu Street for shopping. I have also talked with several other shops. , set an auspicious opening day."

"Hmm." Tan Qiu nodded slightly in response. He didn't care much about Jiang Beimu's shop. After all, he was not good at business, and Jiang Beimu could handle it properly. "What's the name of the new store? Do you still use the old one?"

As soon as this remark came out, Jiang Beimu was a little dazed, and Tan Qiu didn't bother him, Jiang Beimu pondered for a moment and replied: "Let's use Xianshui Tower."

"Why did the master use this name? Is there any meaning?" Tan Qiu got up and asked the other maids to clean up the table. After speaking, he saw Mei Xiang took a black cloak from the side room and wanted to put it on Jiang Beimu. He stepped forward quickly and took the cloak from Mei Xiang, but Mei Xiang didn't notice it for a while, but was snatched by Tan Qiu.

"It's nothing. This name is the name of a kind of flower that my mother likes. I use it if I think it sounds nice."

Tan Qiumei glanced at Mei Xiang, and immediately put the cloak on Jiang Beimu. Mei Xiang only bit her lips, took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Master, I'm going to prepare the horse."

Jiang Beimu nodded, then turned to Tan Qiu and said, "If you don't feel dizzy anymore, I can ask Ruan Yue to take you for a walk on the street to relax, and you don't have to stay in the yard all day long."

"Master, won't you give me medicine?" Tan Qiu blinked.

"No, it's already late today. The shop assistants should wait for you to drink your medicine. If you have any troubles, just tell Mei Xiang first, and she will take care of it for you." Jiang Beimu shook his head, He fastened his collar button and strode out the door.

Tan Qiu couldn't do too much, so he could only yell at Jiang Beimu's back: "Slow down on the road. Come back earlier."

Jiang Beimu waved his hand and disappeared around the corner.

The room was deserted again, but the two or three girls scanned the house softly. Go out and go to the baby's small courtyard.

As soon as you step into the yard, you can see the nurse following the baby, raising her hand to gently block it, teaching him to walk.The baby is chubby, wearing a lot of clothes, like a New Year's doll, and is walking forward with short legs and wheezing.

Tan Qiu clapped her hands, squatted down smiling and shouted to the baby: "Be good, baby, come to mother."

The baby's grape-like black eyes blinked a few times, and he stretched out his hand with a smile, babbled and ran towards Tanqiu yelling something.

"Slow down! Slow down!" the nanny shouted anxiously behind the baby, her hands were eager to help but couldn't move forward.

Tan Qiu took a step forward and hugged the baby who was about to fall in his arms, lifted it up and hugged it in a circle, and kissed that tender little face with a smile.

"Is there anything my little master wants? I will go to the street and buy some for you later."

The baby didn't understand, so he blinked his big eyes and clapped his hands softly, then softly shouted: "Mother!"

"Hey!" Tan Qiu narrowed his eyes with a smile, wishing he could rub the jade dumpling in his bosom well.

Jiang Bei Musheng is tall and tall, and when he is not smiling on weekdays, he has a kind of fierce coercion. His eagle eyes always seem to be able to penetrate people, but his son is so soft. He is not angry when he is rubbing round and flat, but just clapping his hands and laughing foolishly. Occasionally, if he accidentally hurt him, he will only cry aggrievedly with tears in his eyes and softly cry out in pain.

Not at all like Jiang Beimu.Tan Qiu held the baby and thought in his heart, he didn't know who the baby's mother was, and he had never heard Jiang Beimu mention it...

Isn't this his own son?The more Tan Qiu thought about it, the more bizarre it became, and even thought of a big scene of a lonely night on a snowy night, and the look at the baby like this was even more loving.

At this time, the bewildered baby:?

"I'll buy you two small clothes later!" Tan Qiu kissed the baby again before handing the baby back to the nanny, who smiled and said, "Young master, you don't have to spend any money. You have plenty of clothes for the young master. I bought four for you." Five new clothes, I can't wear them all."

"It was bought by his father. The baby calls me mother, so I have to buy some too, right?" Tan Qiu smiled and picked the baby's chubby chin. The baby rolled his eyes and shouted crisply: "Father! Mother!"

Tan Qiu once again kissed and touched the baby fondly until the baby pursed his mouth and refused to let the kiss. Then Tan Qiu withdrew his hand with a little regret, said a few words, and then left the small courtyard and returned to his own Luoxia small courtyard. build.

As soon as Tan Qiu entered the courtyard door, she saw Ruan Yue wearing a cloth dress, her hair simply pulled up, no makeup applied, she was dressing up with the maids, and she was standing in the courtyard patting the bedding with rattan canes.

"Young Master is here." Ruan Yue greeted Tan Qiu with a smile, "Several girls came early this morning with new bedding cushions and a charcoal brazier. I will dry the bedding first."

Tan Qiu didn't answer in a hurry, but ran back to the room in a hurry. After opening the door, he saw that the room was completely new, far from the gloomy and cold look before, and immediately froze in place.

Ruan Yue followed up and asked puzzledly: "What's wrong, young master, is there something wrong?"

Tan Qiu let out a long sigh, "It's just that you did the right thing. There's nothing missing here. How can I go to Brother Mu's place to rub the bed!"

Ruan Yue: ...

"Actually... as long as you have the heart, you can still get it." Ruan Yue whispered.

Tan Qiu waved his hand and sighed, "Have you ever eaten?"

Ruan Yue shook her head, "Someone sent these things when I woke up, and I've been taking care of them until now, but I'm not very hungry."

"Breakfast is delivered to my yard every day." Unexpectedly, Tan Qiu frowned when he heard this, and said unhappily, "Didn't they bring it to you? This is what Brother Mu specially told the kitchen, before I got better from illness." , are all to be delivered.”

Ruan Yue understood, and hesitated: "Maybe I forgot in a hurry. Besides, young master, you stayed in the master's room last night. It's normal for them not to send you over."

"I went to Brother Mu's room to spend the night, and only you know, how do they know that I didn't go back to the room?" Tan Qiu snorted softly, "It seems that someone is deliberately staring at me, or at Brother Mu's house."

"Go, I'll take you to dinner." Tan Qiu didn't even look at the new quilt, and turned to go out. Ruan Yue hesitated for a moment, then put the rattan on the table, and when she went out, she saw that Tan Qiu had already stepped out of the courtyard. The door was in a hurry, as if trying to find fault.

Tan Qiu led Ruan Yue, who was trotting all the way, to the back kitchen. Ruan Yue was anxious and couldn't help persuading: "Master, the master is not at home now, and we don't have any evidence. If we rashly show up, we will fall into the trap of others , in case of being bitten back, the loss outweighs the gain."

After finishing speaking, Ruan Yue reminded: "Which of the merchants out there is not a beautiful wife and concubine, besides, the master is in his prime and already has such a strong family fortune, and the only eldest son lost his mother..."

Tan Qiu's footsteps stopped, Ruan Yue was distracted and almost bumped into her, she hurriedly stopped, "There must be some thoughtful people in this mansion, after all, there is no serious headed mother in Jiang's mansion, If you are lucky enough to give birth to a son and a half daughter, and have a mother to help...it will not guarantee that it will take a long time..."

Tan Qiu glanced at Ruan Yue indifferently, Ruan Yue hurriedly stopped talking, and didn't mention it anymore, Tan Qiu continued to walk forward, and said as he walked: "With me here, the baby will not be disturbed by others." Bully him. Besides, how could Brother Mu like those vulgar fans."

"My lord, what can I do?" Ruan Yue asked in a low voice when she saw Tan Qiu's complacent expression.

"Because I'm good-looking." Tan Qiu took it for granted, turned around halfway towards Ruan Yue, touched her cheek, and said happily: "I have observed it, and there is no one in the entire Jiang Manor who is more beautiful than me." gone."

Ruan Yue choked for a moment.

After Tan Qiu finished speaking, he continued to lead Ruan Yue to the kitchen. The kitchen was empty, so Tan Qiu directly brought an egg and a meat bun to Ruan Yue, and then made another bowl of porridge.

Ruan Yue hurriedly persuaded, "Young Master, don't take any more, it's already too much."

"Are you full after just this little?" Tan Qiu was a little surprised, then he took a white meat bun from the drawer, leaned sideways on the stove, and slowly tore the skin of the bun to eat.

"I used to only drink two mouthfuls of porridge in the morning, and my body would lose shape if I ate too much." Ruan Yue put the meat buns back, and she ate the eggs with the porridge.

Tan Qiu put the last bite of steamed stuffed bun skin into his mouth, his puffy cheeks moved, he stopped chewing, and silently moved his eyes down to his slightly protruding belly.

It seems that it has been raised too well these two days...

Tan Qiu remembered that just now he said that he was the most beautiful in the entire Jiang family, and felt that the slap in the face seemed to come a little too quickly.

After the two of them finished eating, Ruan Yue simply cleaned up, but the maids in the kitchen still didn't come back, so they went back to Luoxia Xiaozhu along the way they came.

"I don't have any women's clothes here for you. Brother Mu just asked us to go shopping in the street. You can go with me and buy some clothes that are convenient for you to wear." Tan Qiu said to Ruan Yue as soon as he entered the door.

"No, no, no." Ruan Yue quickly refused, "I brought some clothes, and those are enough for me to wear."

"What kind of clothes are you?" Tan Qiu frowned in disgust, "It's revealing and thin, how do you wear it outside in winter?"

Ruan Yue paused slightly when she heard the words, blinked her eyes and didn't know what to say, she was completely confused about Tan Qiu now, Tan Qiu was indeed smart when she was smart, but in some places she seemed extraordinarily immature.

"I dare to ask, on weekdays... What kind of clothes do you and the master wear in the bedroom?"

Tan Qiu was a little puzzled for a while, but when he saw Ruan Yue, his expression was serious. However, talking about these things with Ruan Yue, a woman, was indeed a little out of bounds, so he coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, and said vaguely: "You can wear what you usually wear. .”

Ruan Yue smiled slightly, turned around and went to her own room, and a moment later came in with a white gauze dress as thin as a cicada's wings, and handed it to Tan Qiu.

The gauze is plain white and light, and it has been neatly folded. Even Tan Qiu can still see Ruan Yue's hands through the gauze. It is conceivable that if this dress is worn on the upper body, it will really "show every detail".

It seems that there are a few flowers embroidered with gold thread on the gauze, and the patterns can only be seen from a certain angle under the light.

This gauze garment is exquisite in workmanship and high-quality fabric, and it is extraordinary at first glance.Tan Qiu looked at the gauze clothes inexplicably, and then at Ruan Yue.

Ruan Yue covered her mouth with a smile and explained: "I asked someone to spend a lot of money to buy this dress before I came to Jiang's mansion. It is still new and unworn. You can take it, sir. It can be regarded as a token of my loyalty to you. of."

Tan Qiu understood what was happening almost instantly, her cheeks felt a little hot, coughing and casually took the clothes, and threw them on the bed casually.

"Let's go, go out."

Sifang City is located in the south of the Yangtze River, extending in all directions, waterways and official roads all pass by the city, so Sifang City has always been the most prosperous capital in Yuan Dynasty except for the capital.Moreover, as the end of the new year approaches, the pavements are crowded and almost occupy the entire street. The streets are crowded with people, and the sound of hawking and children's play is everywhere.

Tan Qiu went to the street for the first time after waking up. The street was covered with red lanterns. It was a joyous moment. Tan Qiu walked along the crowd. There were several clothing stores on the street. Tan Qiu randomly picked the one with the most family members. , took Ruan Yue in.

"Choose whatever you want. I'll show the baby the clothes." Tan Qiu simply left a sentence and let Ruan Yue choose by herself, while she walked to the other side where there were a lot of women's clothes piled up.

The clerk in the store is also clever. Seeing an outstanding-looking man appearing out of a group of women and children, and dressed in extraordinary clothes, he immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly and said, "What kind of style do you want to choose, my lord? Our store also has a lot of new ones." Cloth, those are the fancy styles that the nobles in the capital love, if you like it, you can also choose the fabric to make!"

"I'll just look around casually." Tan Qiu didn't pay much attention to the guy, and looked around by himself, and suddenly saw a milk doll hugging his mother's leg, biting his finger and peeking at him timidly.

The milk doll is wearing a brocade blue cotton robe, embroidered with copper coin symbols, and the collar button is specially made into a dragonfly button, which complements the white and tender face, and is instantly cute.

Tan Qiu's eyes lit up almost instantly, and he pointed to the doll and said to the clerk, "Can your store make this kind of style on him?"

The guy glanced at it and said with a smile, "Of course! What kind of fabric do you want to use?"

Hearing this, Tan Qiu thought for a moment, squeezed away a group of women, and picked out the fabrics. The women on the side seemed to see a man come to buy clothes for their children for the first time, and their eyes could not stop looking at Tan Qiu. look up.

Tan Qiu touched the fabric, and said to the shopkeeper, "Just this red one, make two. It's about the same size as the doll just now. It can be made bigger. It's easy to add clothes inside. How long will it take?"

Seeing Tan Qiu's extravagant spending, the clerk smiled immediately, "The two pieces cost one or two taels of silver in total, and the masters in the store are all here. After you pay the deposit, we will arrange for the masters to start making it, and it will be finished by about tonight."

"Okay." Tan Qiu nodded, seeing Ruan Yue picked out two plain dresses, he pointed to Ruan Yue and said to the clerk, "I paid with her money."

After finishing speaking, he took out a few taels from his pocket and handed it to the clerk. After receiving the money, the clerk rushed into the back store and wrote a receipt to Tan Qiu, and Tan Qiu took the receipt, rolled it up and stuffed it into his pocket.

At the side, Ruan Yue handed over the clothes to the clerk, and then walked to Tan Qiu's side, "Master, it's a waste of money... I'll just pay the money."

Tan Qiuman said indifferently: "You have given me such expensive clothes, shouldn't I return the gift?"

Ruan Yue thought about it for a while, so she gave up and didn't say much.

The clerk packed Ruan Yue's clothes and handed them over, took a bundle of something wrapped and sent it together, and said with a smile: "This is from our shop, the plum blossom glutinous cake that is very famous in the city recently, see The young master is a straightforward person, and I hope to come here often in the future."

Ruan Yue took the clothes, and Tan Qiu took the cake with great interest, "Really? Is it delicious? I haven't heard of it."

"This is the main pastry of Xianshuilou, which is very popular in the city." Ruan Yue said with a smile.

Tan Qiu became even more interested when he heard the words, then, since this pastry is still from Brother Mu's shop, he should try it all the more.

The two walked out of the store. Before they could settle down, Tan Qiu couldn't wait to open the oil paper, and saw six pieces of plum blossom glutinous cakes arranged in an orderly manner. It was exactly the shape of plum blossoms, crystal clear, the upper layer was bright red and the lower layer was milky white. Then he asked for a sweet scent of honey, which made the index finger move.

Tan Qiu twisted a piece of plum blossom glutinous cake and put it in his mouth. The honey was sweet with a hint of milky mellowness. A hint of sweetness spread on the tip of the tongue. The quivering plum blossoms on the upper layer of the pastry melted in the mouth. It really tasted good.

"Here, you can try it too, it's very delicious." Tan Qiu only felt that he really missed a delicacy, and Jiang Beimu was by his side, so he didn't bother him to eat it.

Tan Qiu sighed a few times, and handed the pastry to Ruan Yue.

Suddenly there was an exclamation in the ear, and from the corner of my eye, I saw a white shadow flying past, and then a figure slammed into Tan Qiu's wrist. Tan Qiu's arm was unstable, and the pastry was knocked to the ground and shattered. into a ball.

Tan Qiu was pushed by that force and fell backwards. Before he could stand still, his arm was pulled by someone, and at the moment when he was about to fall, he was pulled back by his arm.

The strength of pulling the arm was still there, Tan Qiu was brought forward again, the bridge of his nose just hit a solid chest, Tan Qiu suddenly had tears in his eyes, and looked up while covering his nose.

But I saw a tall man wearing a bamboo hat holding his arm with one hand, and holding Tan Qiu's back vaguely with the other hand, and beside this man wearing a bamboo hat sat a black, shiny fur with a tail at the end. A reddish black dog.

An iron chain was tied around the black dog's neck, leading to the waist of the man in the bamboo hat.

Tan Qiu couldn't see the man's expression clearly, so he could only hold his nose to relieve the soreness, and felt even more distressed by the overturned pastry in his heart.

"Sorry, I accidentally bumped into you, and I will pay you again."

The man withdrew his hand, and his voice was as clear as a sword out of its sheath, like a bird in an empty valley, and a gurgling stream, but with a strange accent, not a local.

You should pay, you must pay!

Tan Qiu clutched his nose and thought in pain.
