lord and beauty

The street was bustling with people, several pastry shops were crowded with people, each of them had bought a lot for the New Year, Tan Qiu struggled to squeeze out of the crowd holding pastries wrapped in oiled paper.

"Here!" Tan Qiu raised his hand and waved towards the crowd, and with the help of the tall man, Ruan Yue managed to squeeze out of the crowd and ran to Tan Qiu's side.

"There are too many people here." Ruan Yue thought that she was almost unable to get out by the crowd just now, and said sadly, "Thank you very much."

The man waved his hand, indicating that it was okay, and then walked to the stone next to the door and untied the chain tied to the stone. The black dog was lying leisurely in the sun, but when he saw the man approaching, he sat up, wagging his tail .

Tan Qiu unwrapped the oil paper, took a piece and handed it to the man, and said casually, "Here, you paid for it, you should try one."

The man smiled and refused: "No need, I knocked over your things, and I should pay you."

After finishing speaking, the man put a small bamboo basket next to the stone pillar on the back of the black dog. Two long ropes were wrapped around the bamboo basket. The man skillfully passed the rope under the black dog's belly and tied it, and then touched the dog. With the head of the black dog, he took out something from a bag pinned to his waist and fed it to the black dog.

The black dog wagged its tail wildly, staring straight at the man.

"This dog has a nice coat and strong limbs. Is it a hunting dog?" Tan Qiu couldn't move his eyes when he saw the black dog, and asked as he twirled a piece of pastry.

The man smiled, "Do you still know dog breeds?"

Tan Qiu blinked, swallowed the pastry in his mouth, and said vaguely: "I don't know, I just like this dog. Isn't this a local dog breed?"

"Yes, it's called Xing'er, she's a girl, and she's the best-looking among her siblings." The man liked the black dog very much in his words, and after he finished speaking, he tied the chain that tied the black dog back own waist.

At this moment, the bamboo basket carried by the black dog shook suddenly, and several short humming sounds came from the bamboo basket, as if something was moving inside.

Tan Qiu leaned down to look at the bamboo basket with great interest, the black dog was startled, and immediately turned around defensively to prevent Tan Qiu from approaching the bamboo basket, the man stroked the black dog's neck a few times, and the black dog turned around again , no longer guard.

"What's in here?" Tan Qiu stretched out his fingers and tapped the bamboo basket lightly, suddenly the bamboo basket moved, and a few tufts of white hairs protruded from the gap in the bamboo basket, and then Tan Qiu saw it through the gap. A pair of wet eyes, a few short puppy whimpers.

"It's a little white dog. It's too noisy on weekdays, so I put it in this bamboo basket when I went to the street." The man smiled and lifted the lid of the bamboo basket slightly, and Ruan Yue followed suit.

Inside, a fluffy white puppy was lying in the bamboo basket, raised its head and whined a few times, it was really cute.

"Is this its child?" Ruan Yue asked curiously.

The man closed the lid again and said with a smile, "No, this white dog is not mine. I also came here to find an owner for it. I'm not qualified to domesticate it yet."

"Well" Tan Qiu responded a few times, thinking that this white dog looks silly, its appearance is not as good as that of this black dog, even saying that he is not qualified, does this white dog have other supernatural powers?

Could it be that they are here to play tricks and sell dogs.Thinking of this, Tan Qiu suddenly became vigilant, but the man had no intention of selling to him at all, he just took a muzzle and put it on the black dog, and immediately said to Tan Qiu and Ruan Yue: "Then I will I'm leaving."

The moment the man took a step, Tan Qiu heard the whining of the white dog again, subconsciously said: "Hey, wait a minute."

The man stopped and turned to look at him.

Tan Qiu took a piece of pastry from the oil-paper bag and handed it to the man. "Just treat it as something I give to Xing'er and Xiaobai."

The man didn't refuse this time, he stretched out his hand to take the one and divided it into two, gave half to the black dog, and lifted the lid of the bamboo basket to give the other half to the white dog.

"Is this pastry brought by the owner of Xianshuilou?" The man patted the crumbs on his hands and glanced at the signboard of Xianshuilou.

"I don't know, it's the first time I eat it." Tan Qiu shrugged, thinking that he would have to pester Mu Ge for more points tomorrow.

Hearing the words, the man only nodded slightly, without saying anything more, he clasped his fists at the two of them, and walked into the crowd with the black dog, and disappeared in an instant.

"Let's go, let's go back." Tan Qiu gave the cake to Ruan Yue, and on the way back, he passed by the clothing store to ask about the progress, and when he learned that it was not ready, he had to go back to Jiang's Mansion with Ruan Yue.

Luoxia Xiaozhu.

Tan Qiu carelessly fell on the bed, and the moment her back touched the soft bedding, she sighed comfortably. Ruan Yue went back to her room, put her clothes away, and saw a beautiful pink figure rushing from outside the courtyard , pushed open the door with a bang.

Tan Qiu was startled when he heard the loud noise, and sat up instantly from the bed, but saw Xiang Ning's complexion turned black, her silver teeth almost gnashed, staring at Tan Qiu angrily, as if she was about to go up and bite him.

Tan Qiu raised his eyebrows slightly, but after seeing the person coming, he relaxed a lot, sat sideways and leaned against the bedpost, and said casually, "What's the matter?"

"Did you go to the kitchen this morning?" Xiang Ning asked angrily.

Tan Qiu didn't care much about her attitude, and only smiled with the intention of fanning the flames: "Yeah, what's the matter, I didn't eat breakfast and I was hungry, so I went to the kitchen to get some."

"You're talking nonsense!" Xiang Ning blushed angrily, "You obviously had breakfast with the master this morning, how could you go hungry!"

"You didn't bring breakfast to my yard. If Ruan Yue is hungry, can I take her to eat?" Tan Qiu smiled and glanced at Ruan Yue who came in from the outside, waved her hand slightly to indicate that it's okay, and continued to look sideways at Xiang Ning .

"You!" Xiang Ning spoke incoherently, pointing to Tan Qiu and choked for a moment, the word "you" came to his mouth for a long time but couldn't say a word, Tan Qiu wanted to say something more, but saw Xiang Ning's sudden eyes Yihong cried aloud.

Tan Qiu: ...

Although he didn't like Xiang Ning, it was still a headache to make a girl cry.

Seeing this, Ruan Yue was about to persuade Xiang Ning, but Wen Xiang Ning choked and said: "Why did I put you on the table, I was fined a month's money yesterday, and I was not allowed to eat dinner. I finally finished washing my clothes this morning. I went to get some food, but there was no one left, and I was sent to work again, and I haven’t even eaten a bite of food until now.”

"Impossible. We just took an egg, a steamed stuffed bun, and a bowl of porridge. How could there be none left when there are so many left? Don't be bloody." Tan Qiu immediately denied it.

"If you feel aggrieved, you can go and find out who didn't leave you food for you. It's no use for you to come here to trouble me." Tan Qiu said casually with his chin in one hand, "Besides, in the future, my Ruan Yue is in charge of the yard, so you don't have to come here to do things."

Xiang Ning was stunned immediately when she heard the words, and didn't know what to say for a while, but felt extremely wronged, and tightly clutched the hem of her clothes.

Just at the moment of this stalemate, another figure came in from the outside. Tan Qiu looked up and saw Mei Xiang wearing a green shirt and skirt, covered with a white cotton skirt, the green hair was loosely tied into a bun, and a green trousers was inserted obliquely. , It will make people's temperament out of the dust.

Tan Qiuyuan didn't care when he saw Xiang Ning, but when he saw Mei Xiang, he sat up straight in an instant, and just now when he was rolling in the quilt, he messed up his hair a lot. I'm a bit dwarfed by myself.

The sobbing Xiang Ning seemed to see a savior, her eyes suddenly brightened, and she rushed forward a few steps to seek Mei Xiang's help, but Mei Xiang blocked her hand without a trace, walked around to the house, After standing still, he saluted Tan Qiu and said calmly:

"Ask Young Master Ann, the master ordered me to ask you if you are still used to sleeping on the new bedding, Young Master? If something is not suitable, you can tell me and I will go to coordinate it."

"It's hard to say whether the bed is comfortable or not." Tan Qiu crossed her legs, looked at Mei Xiang with a smile, "I haven't slept yet, I'll tell you when I do."

"However..." Tan Qiu's voice changed, seeing that Mei Xiang was still indifferent, he deliberately said: "It's time to change the bedding in the master's room, it's still a little cold for the two of us to sleep together at night."

After the words fell, Tan Qiu wished to see a slight change in Mei Xiang's face.

"Okay, I'll remember, I'll let the girl change it later." Mei Xiang took a breath and nodded in response.After saying that, Mei Xiang turned the conversation to Ruan Yue who was quietly standing by.

"I heard that the master left Miss Ruan Yue as a maid. Then according to the Jiang family's rules, you will not be able to live in a single courtyard in the future. You must be with the maids. After all, men and women are different, and there are still things I want to tell you to do in the future."

Tan Qiu interrupted without waiting for others to reply: "Ruan Yue was specially assigned to me by the master, and I still have a lot of things to take care of by her."

Let Ruan Yue go under her hands?Don't even think about it, who knows how Mei Xiang will plot against Ruan Yue, and he plans to use Ruan Yue to suppress Mei Xiang.

"Besides, she's working for me, so she can't do your job."

"My son, do you mean that she can't do Jiang's job?"

"Look at her hands. Before she came to Jiang's mansion, her fingers were not touched by the sun at the Wang's house. Does she seem to be able to do such a rough job?" Tan Qiu responded calmly, raised her chin slightly and pointed at Ruan Yue, Mei Xiang's face suddenly turned green when she heard the words, as if she had been pricked by a needle, obviously she was pissed off.

Mei Xiang's complexion changed several times. Tan Qiu was afraid that the matter would not be serious, and watched the excitement cheerfully. After a while, Mei Xiang took a deep breath, calmed down, and gritted his teeth: "Since the young master insists on this, then I don't want to intervene." , wait for me to ask the master for instructions, and after the master agrees, then I will no longer care about Miss Ruan Yue."

"As far as I know, there is no official housekeeper in Jiang's residence." Tan Qiu looked at Mei Xiang with his chin in one hand, and said with a smile, "It should not be your turn to take care of Ruan Yue."

Mei Xiang was furious but suddenly calmed down, squinting her eyes slightly and snorting softly, while Ruan Yue saw that the situation was not good and immediately stepped forward to change the topic.

"Miss Mei Xiang, may I ask which room I want to move to?"

Mei Xiang didn't even look at Ruan Yue, her jaw raised slightly, her eyes revealed a hint of disdain, but she seemed to be concerned about something, she just said to Tan Qiu in a cold voice:

"As far as I know, Jiang's Mansion doesn't have a serious headed mistress."
