lord and beauty

"Why are you wearing this?" Jiang Beimu's voice was not high, and his tone was very flat, with a look of disapproval.

Tan Qiu was a little apprehensive at first, but seeing that Jiang Beimu didn't blame him or anything else, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered, "The scar on my forehead is ugly, cover it up."

Jiang Beimu was noncommittal, and said helplessly: "Why didn't you comb your hair well? It's only a short cup of tea, and you made yourself like this."

Tan Qiu cautiously said: "Isn't that Mei Xiang urging me in a hurry? Originally, Ruan Yue was going to comb my hair, but Mei Xiang was urging you to urge me over there, so I came here immediately."

As soon as Tan Qiu's words fell, Mei Xiang came in from outside the courtyard. After listening to the whole process, her heart was blocked, and she was about to speak up to explain, but suddenly felt Jiang Beimu's gaze swept over her, which made her feel cold all over.

"It's nothing." Jiang Beimu didn't go to see Mei Xiang anymore, just said something casually, and then continued to talk to Tan Qiu: "Since you're here, let's eat first."

After saying that, he turned around, stopped in his footsteps, motioned for Tan Qiu to follow, and walked towards the chairman's seat in the main hall.

Tan Qiu was wearing a plain white gown, covered with light gauze, the peach blossom embroidery on the gauze was even more lifelike under the lights, his black hair was hanging down like a waterfall, the night wind gently lifted a few strands of hair around his ears, and the light fell on his face. On the silver mask, there was a light pink halo, which made his exposed chin white and smooth, like white jade soaked in water for hundreds of years in the green hills.

Looking at this half of the face, one can know that his complexion is definitely not bad.

"I wonder who Brother Jiang is waiting for. It turns out he is waiting for a beauty."

As soon as Jiang Beimu took his seat, someone laughed and joked beside him. Tan Qiu followed the voice and saw that the person who spoke was a young man about 24 or [-] years old. The man had an ordinary appearance and his eyes were long and sharp The radiant light, one can tell that he is a businessman at a glance, the frivolous words blurted out under the joke at the moment, combined with the eyes looking back and forth at Tan Qiu, really make Tan Qiu feel uncomfortable.

It's just that he must be a distinguished guest if he can sit in the chairman's seat. Tan Qiu couldn't say anything, so he could only sit down beside Jiang Beimu, and quietly moved the stool to his side.

Such subtle movements were clearly seen by Samu.

"Long time no see." Sam turned his head slightly, smiled at Tan Qiu, and said in a low voice.

Tan Qiu said with a smile: "How long have you been here? The white dog you gave is now very chubby. I'll take you to see it later."

"It's okay to be too fat. I won't be able to run in the future." Samu smiled, and the two chatted and laughed like old friends. Tan Qiu felt that he and Sam got along very well. Although Sam was a dog, he handled things well. But it seems that he is a serious Yuan Dynasty person, polite and distant with a touch of politeness, but he will not make people feel uncomfortable, and always get along with him just right.

More importantly, it is more natural.Tan Qiu thought to himself, when he was with Jiang Beimu, he always felt as if he had lowered his head. Jiang Beimu had the innate aura and majesty like that superior person, even if Jiang Beimu usually Mu has never used his power to bully him, and it can even be said that he has indulged him a bit.

But Tan Qiu asked himself, he was still a little "afraid" of Jiang Beimu.

But there is no such fear of Samu.

Tan Qiu was talking with Sam, when he moved to Jiang Beimu's stool, he began to involuntarily lean towards Sam.

"Everyone is here, please wait for a long time, let's start." Jiang Beimu calmly looked away from the two who were chatting enthusiastically, stood up and said indifferently.

Jiang Beimu stood up suddenly, Tan Qiu was stunned for a moment, then saw Xiao Ye and Fu He get up, and then the people at the table also stood up, picked up the wine glasses in front of him, and looked at Jiang Beimu's Fang Xiang raised it for a moment, and echoed: "It's been a long time since I've been together with Brother Jiang, everyone must not be drunk today."

Tan Qiu blinked, and Samu Shi beside him got up abruptly, picked up the wine glass at the table together, but there was not a drop of wine in it, and just made a toast, Tan Qiu also hurriedly stood up and asked for it toast.

"You're welcome." Jiang Beimu looked indifferent, nodded slightly, and drank the wine in his hand. The other merchants saw Jiang Beimu drink first, while Xiao Ye waited obediently for Jiang Beimu to understand. Only when I raised my head to drink from the bottom of the cup, I had a few twists and turns in my heart, thoughtful.

The wine glass in Sam's hand was empty of wine, but the wine glass in Tan Qiu's hand was. When Tan Qiu was hesitating whether to drink with him, he just raised his hand, and before it reached his mouth, Jiang Beimu stretched out his hand and pressed it Living.

"You don't need to drink," Jiang Bei murmured.

Tan Qiu responded shyly, put down the wine glass, Jiang Beimu stopped talking to him, turned around and sat down, and the rest of the people sat down one by one.

While the few people were talking, the maids had almost filled the table with food and wine. Tan Qiu took a quick look, only to find that the dishes for this banquet were actually selected according to the list he had chosen.

Just because it contains his favorite candied wine fruit, which is a kind of wine fermented red fruit wrapped in flour, and then coated with a layer of golden icing. It is very sweet, and most people don't like to eat it, but Tan Qiu But he likes to soak the candied fruit in water and eat it with the melted sugar water.

And this dish, Jiang Beimu didn't like it.Tan Qiu deeply remembered that the last time he tried his best to let Jiang Beimu try it, Jiang Beimu only took a mouthful, then spit it out without changing his face, and even poured four or five cups of mouthwash tea in succession.

Before everyone moved their chopsticks, Jiang Bei murmured, "Xiao Ye, bring the wine and fruit in front of you."

Jiang Beimu's words were blunt, even a little instructive, but Xiao Ye didn't think there was anything wrong, and brought the plate of wine and fruit without asking.

Jiang Beimu didn't care about the slightly surprised eyes of the rest of the people, and only put the wine and fruit in front of Tan Qiu, within reach. From the eyes of others, this meant that it was only for Tan Qiu to eat alone. up.

Before Jiang Beimu could speak, Tan Qiu heard Sam ask him, "What is this?"

Tan Qiu's eyes lit up, like a child who couldn't wait to share his favorite toy with his friends, and without thinking about it, he brought the wine and fruit to Sam in front of him.

Jiang Beimu: "..."

Sharp-eyed, Xiao Ye noticed that Jiang Beimu's hand paused, and the chopsticks he picked up just now were put down without a trace. He winked and poked Fu He sideways with his elbow.

Fu He glanced at Xiao Ye, not going to talk to him.

Jiang Beimu deliberately changed the dishes for Tan Qiu, which is enough to arouse people's daydreams, but Tan Qiu's seemingly inadvertent action aroused everyone's curiosity, and Dao Dao's eyes were so hot that they could almost burn people. Qi threw in the direction of Samu.

Samu didn't seem to notice it, and poked a wine fruit with his chopsticks with great interest, and was about to put it to his mouth to eat, but was suddenly stopped by Tan Qiu.

"Wait a minute!" Tan Qiu hurriedly filled the small cup in front of Samu with water, and said cheerfully, "The sugar coating outside is very sweet. If you don't like sweets, you can put the wine fruit in the water first." Once it’s over, wait for the sugar coating to melt, then you can eat what’s inside.”

After speaking, Tan Qiu seemed to be afraid of Samu's hesitation, and even couldn't help pushing the water glass towards him, the eyes under the mask were shining with anticipation.

Jiang Beimu, who was on the side, suddenly regretted his actions, as if he had made a wedding dress for someone else. Although there was no real loss, it made him very unhappy.

Recalling the last time I was so unhappy, it was in the barracks, when I accidentally lost to the right deputy general...

Businessmen are all shrewd, and the few people on the main table can easily detect this subtle atmosphere just by looking at each other.

Jiang Beimu came back to his senses and saw that Samu had already eaten a wine fruit under the encouragement of Tan Qiu. The two were talking and laughing, as if they had known each other for many years, so they coughed lightly and said to everyone: "Everyone Please use."

"Wait a minute."

Not long after Jiang Beimu's words fell, he heard the narrow-eyed young man interrupted: "Brother Jiang, you and I haven't seen each other for a long time. How can I come to the door empty-handed today? Everyone is here. Li has been here for a few days. I happened to meet a wonderful person, and it happened to be a banquet at Brother Jiang’s house, and I happened to borrow flowers to present Buddha, so I asked her to dance for everyone, and Quan Zuo added to the fun.”

"Brother Li said this. I really have to take a closer look at the wonderful person you met." After Mr. Li finished speaking, another middle-aged man laughed and responded. The middle-aged man was slightly fat, but his face was very He is kind, with a three-stroke mustache, and looks very funny when he smiles, and beside this middle-aged man and Mr. Li, there are two beauties sitting.

The woman next to the middle-aged man was dressed luxuriously, her hair was full of pearls and emeralds, her bearing was graceful, and she looked like a lady from everyone at first glance, while the beauty next to Mr. Li surpassed this beautiful woman in appearance, but she behaved frivolously and kept her eyes on her. Back and forth among the people on the table, he couldn't help looking at the mask on Tan Qiu's face for a while.

Tan Qiu guessed that this beautiful woman was the middle-aged man's main wife, and that Mr. Li should bring only a favored beauty or concubine.

"Brother Jiang, don't disappoint today, I have brought people here." Young Master Li half-jokingly murmured to Jiang Bei, his words were full of constriction, if Jiang Beimu disagreed, That means not giving them both face.

"It's up to you." Jiang Beimu's expression was indifferent, showing no signs of happiness or anger.

Mr. Li was overjoyed when he heard the words. When he laughed, his slender eyes were narrowed, and he was almost invisible. Tan Qiu looked at him very funny and wanted to laugh, but he couldn't laugh out loud. He could only lick his lips and look aside.

Mr. Li got his approval, so he stood up and clapped his hands. After a while, several beautiful dancers, dressed in pale pink dresses, walked in from outside the courtyard with silk in their hands.

Hey, even the people have prepared themselves, I am afraid they came prepared.Tan Qiu frowned inadvertently, thinking of watching the fun.

"This is going to be given away." Samu lowered his voice, and said next to Tan Qiu in a voice that was almost a whisper. direction.

I saw Jiang Beimu peeling the shells of the shrimp calmly, with several movements of his slender and powerful fingers, the pale pink shrimp meat fell into the bowl, Jiang Beimu just refused to eat it, as if he was about to accumulate it.

The dancer in that room got ready to move, and then shook the silk away. Suddenly, a gust of fragrant wind came, and the dancer raised her bare hand slightly, and lifted up the white silk gauze as thin as a cicada's wing. Through the candlelight, one could vaguely see the The graceful figure of the dancer holding the silk.

There was silence in the main hall, and everyone's eyes fell on the circle of silk.

The cold flute sound gradually rose, turning and melodious, like a Jiangnan minor tune. Tan Qiu was very familiar to her ears. The dancers raised their silk hands and moved lightly. The moment the night wind poured in, the silk was instantly lifted, and then gently Falling, swinging like a woman's skirt.

Everyone watched for a while, but they didn't see those dancers showing up, so they couldn't help becoming curious, while Mr. Li looked like he was going to win, and was drinking a small wine leisurely.

Tan Qiu didn't understand where his expression came from.

At this moment, the sound of the flute paused for a moment, followed by the sound of the pipa, and the sound of Lingling was clear and clear like beads falling on a plate. During this momentary change of tone, the white gauze rose suddenly, almost blowing off the roof , and turned into bright red in an instant, Tan Qiu didn't even have time to see how they changed color, and saw the red veil falling to the ground, revealing several beautiful figures among them.

Suddenly, there were several sounds of breathing in the room.

Even Jiang Beimu stopped peeling the shrimp and looked up in the direction of the dancer.

I saw the dancers who had entered the arena before forming a circle, all facing the center, with their sleeves fluttering lightly, but among them was a barefoot woman dressed in white.
