lord and beauty

After Jiang Beimu finished speaking, he fell asleep on his side. Tan Qiu had just slept once, and he didn't feel sleepy at all at the moment, but seeing that Jiang Beimu was indeed very tired, he had to quietly lift off Jiang Beimu's quilt, and leaned in. Wrapping his arms around Jiang Beimu's waist, he silently stared at the back of his head in the dark in a daze.

After a long time, Jiang Beimu's breathing gradually calmed down, and the room was silent. Tan Qiu opened his eyes and hesitated for a long time, then quietly reached into Jiang Beimu's ear, and murmured: "Would you like to marry me with three letters and six rituals?" .”

Tan Qiu felt apprehensive after asking, wondering if Jiang Beimu heard it, and if he was still pretending to be asleep, that's why he ignored me...

The more Tan Qiu thought about it, the more panicked he became. He couldn't help reaching out and tapped Jiang Beimu's shoulder blades a few times, wanting to hear what he had to say but couldn't bear to wake him up.

After a long time, Tan Qiu said in a tangled voice, "Brother Mu?"

There was a muffled response from the darkness.

Tan Qiu became nervous all of a sudden, twirling her lapel with her fingertips and rubbing it for a long time, before asking after deliberation: "Brother Mu, do you want to marry me?"

The room returned to silence again, and Jiang Beimu's figure could only be vaguely glimpsed in the darkness.

Tan Qiu's ears felt hot, and he hurriedly remedied it: "It must be now... or later? Isn't it right?"

"Um……"

Tan Qiu suddenly opened his eyes wide, full of undisguised joy, wishing he could hug Jiang Beimu and kiss him so hard.

"As you said, I didn't force you."

Tan Qiu lightly poked Jiang Beimu's shoulders a few times with his fingertips, and said happily.

Jiang Beimu moved his arms, resting one hand under his head, his breathing became heavy, and he didn't know how much he listened to Tan Qiu's words.

Tan Qiu didn't care about that much for a while, but was excited because he got Jiang Beimu's affirmative answer. He didn't feel sleepy at first, but now he was very energetic. He just felt that he also rushed out to circle the rockery in Banqiu Pavilion Run for four or five laps.

Tan Qiu was excited for a long time before he regained his composure. He fulfilled his wish and embraced Jiang Beimu's generous shoulders from behind, and closed his eyes leisurely.

There was no charcoal brazier in the house, but Tan Qiu still felt the warmth in the room, and there was no dream until dawn.

The birds outside the window fluttered and chirped and flew past the window, Tan Qiumi stretched out her hand to touch sideways, but could only touch the already cold blanket.

Has Jiang Beimu gone out?

Tan Qiudeng woke up quite a bit, sat up with a gulu, opened the curtain and looked at the side screen. Jiang Beimu's clothes were gone, and the bedding was cold, presumably he had been away for a while.

I don't know how to call myself.

Tan Qiu angrily took off the gauze dress and threw it in a ball in a corner, then pulled out the crumpled clothes from under the quilt and put them on herself as if to vent her anger.

After getting dressed, Tan Qiu walked around Jiang Beimu's room like a puppy, but couldn't find anything useful, so he gave up, tied the cloak, pushed the door and went back to his courtyard.

Tan Qiu pushed open the door of her room, and there were all bedding and cushions on the bed. Even if he didn't come back to sleep, Ruan Yue still took care of everything for him. Tan Qiu sighed, and went to the bedside to stretch.

"Young Master is back?" Ruan Yue heard the sound, put down her work and walked to the door, "Young Master, last night...?"

Tan Qiu moaned sadly, stood with his hands on his hips for a while, finally swallowed the resentment, untied the cloak and threw it aside, angrily said: "No matter what happens today, I have to catch Jiang Bei Mu, you will go with me to the shop to find him later!"

After saying that, he let out a long sigh, and fell down between the mattresses like a corpse.

Ruan Yue didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was about to persuade her more, but she saw Tan Qiu suddenly yelled "嗤", and rolled down from the quilt, the movement was so loud that even Ruan Yue was startled, and rushed in to reach out to help.

Tan Qiu gasped, touched his back with his backhand, and pulled out a long needle.

The long needle is already slightly rusty, about as long as a little finger, and you can't notice it if you don't look carefully.

Ruan Yue was startled, and hurried to shake off the quilt on the bed and spread it on the floor.Tan Qiu unbuttoned his coat and called to Ruan Yue repeatedly, "Help me see if it was punctured? The pain just now was very painful."

Ruan Yue pulled off her outer shirt, but saw a bloodstain on the back of Tan Qiuli's coat. The wound would not be very big after being pricked by a needle, but it was the blood dripping on the clothes that made it particularly eye-catching.

"There's some blood, I'll wipe it with a cloth." Ruan Yue hurriedly got up to get the cloth, but Tan Qiu squatted on the ground with her chin in one hand and stopped her, "Wait a minute."

"This quilt was not pierced when I lay down yesterday. Why was it pierced today? Did anyone come to my room yesterday?"

Ruan Yue paused, as if she was thinking about something, she shook her head after a while and said, "No, I went to the other maids yesterday to inquire about some news, but I didn't pay much attention to it."

"But..." Ruan Yue suddenly thought of something, "When I had dinner with them last night, some of the maids didn't go to eat. When I asked them, they said that they went to accept the new quilt. The master ordered too much two days ago. Make some quilts."

"Could it be Xiang Ning? Mei Xiang shouldn't do such a thing. After all, she has always been proud, but Xiang Ning has had a feud with you, son, and she is young, immature, and prone to act impulsively." Ruan Yue thought for a moment .

"Xiang Ning is young, and is more likely to be incited by others. But we can't directly believe that she did it. After all, there is no evidence, so we should keep quiet. I have my own way." Tan Qiu thought while rubbing his chin, his eyes slightly Looking extremely malicious, Shaoqing smirked, "They sent this to your door."

After saying that, Tan Qiu got up, took off her underwear, exposing her white and thin upper body, Ruan Yue silently turned around, and closed the door, not knowing what bad idea Tan Qiu thought of.

Tan Qiu twisted the needle, spread the underwear on the table, leaned down and stretched out his finger to make gestures with the needle tip for a long time without moving his hand, and after a long while he made up his mind to poke it quickly on his arm.

"Hiss——" Tan Qiu took a sharp breath, and quickly squeezed the bloody eyes on his arm, squeezing the blood out and smearing the dried blood on the inner garment, making the blood smear even bigger Some, it seems a bit bluffing.

Tan Qiu looked at his "masterpiece" with satisfaction, put the bloody eye on his arm into his mouth, sucked it, and laughed contentedly, then took a clean underwear from the closet and put it on, and said while putting it on: "Since you've already received an injection, it's not in vain."

When Tan Qiu was fully dressed, Ruan Yue had already prepared the wound medicine, gauze and so on.

"I just poked it, isn't that necessary?" Tan Qiu was a little puzzled.

"The injury on the forehead." Ruan Yue pointed to Tan Qiu's forehead, and Tan Qiu realized that if Ruan Yue hadn't made a sound, he would have almost forgotten that his forehead still had an injury, and it didn't hurt much these days.

Tan Qiu sat down and asked Ruan Yue to change the dressing for him. Tan Qiu was a little surprised when the gauze was removed, and quickly reached out to brush his hair to reveal the wound.

There were bruises around the wound, and some tender flesh had already grown on the scar, but the bruises still looked terrifying.

"This...won't there be a scar." Tan Qiu feels sorry for herself, why did she fall so hard at the beginning, if there is a scar, her face will be very unsightly in the future.

Ruan Yue didn't dare to answer, but judging from the situation, scarring was basically a certainty, so she could only deal with Tan Qiu with a few vague words, and simply applied some medicine, but did not wrap gauze again.

"That's it, maybe it will get better soon." Ruan Yue said.

Tan Qiu is now only thinking about how to avoid this scar, and hums a few times perfunctorily.

"My lord, I plan to move in and live with those maids." Ruan Yue held a wooden comb in her hand, combing Tan Qiu's long hair.

Tan Qiu fiddled with the scar on her forehead distressedly in the mirror, and asked vaguely, "Why did you say that suddenly?"

"I heard that the master intends to appoint Mei Xiang as the housekeeper, about two days ago, that's why she provoked you so brazenly."

Moreover, those girls also told her about the origin of Tanqiu...

Ruan Yue looked at Tan Qiu, who was pitying herself in the mirror, and felt an inexplicable emotion in her heart for a moment, she couldn't tell whether it was pity or what.

A person who was sent to Jiang's mansion by other merchants at nightfall committed suicide after only one night. Unfortunately, Mingda was rescued and came back. I don't know what happened that night. On the second day, Jiang Beimu not only died Chao Tanqiu had a fit, and even specially allocated a yard for him to live alone, and even specially asked the servants to take care of it.

It's a pity that when people wake up, they are crazy.

Ruan Yue vividly remembered the disdainful expression of the girl who said this yesterday.

Tan Qiu is very similar to her, they are just items given to others, but it is a pity that Tan Qiu is crazy and stupid now, but he saved her by accident.

After Mei Xiang came to power, all expenses and income in the mansion had to go through her hands, and she would definitely be more impeccable at that time, and if Tan Qiu couldn't win Jiang Beimu's favor, then life would be wasted in the future.

All prosperity, all losses, not only for Tan Qiu but also for herself, she also needs to fight.

Tan Qiu didn't know what Ruan Yue was thinking, she still looked at the scar on her forehead with a sad face, and thought deeply in her heart whether Jiang Beimu thought the scar was too scary, so she didn't want to touch him.

"Mei Xiang should just be me, what else can we do to us, but those little girls hugged her tightly. You were afraid that you would be bullied in the past, so it would be better to stay in the hospital by yourself." Tan Qiu sighed lightly. He took a deep breath and tried to pull a few strands of hair to cover the scar on his forehead.

Ruan Yue laughed when she heard the words: "How can I say that I have socialized at the wine table, and those little girls who are not experienced in the world are not my opponents. Besides, in fact, not all of those girls are optimistic about Mei Xiang."

"Mei Xiang is a proud person. She has never paid attention to those rough girls, and she has offended many people. There is one of them named Wanrou. She is better than Mei Xiang. Her father is a scholar, but it is a pity that she is ill. I went, my mother remarried, and she came out to make a living by herself..."

Ruan Yue lowered her voice, and said to Tan Qiu: "She has always disliked Mei Xiang's actions, and she also brought some maids to work under her command. If she can use it, at least she can give Mei Xiang some stumbling blocks."

Tan Qiujing stayed for a while, stared sideways at Ruan Yue for a long time, then withdrew her gaze and said briskly: "Since you have an idea, then go ahead and do it."

Ruan Yue breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Young Master."

"You don't have to thank me. Come with me to the shop later? Find Jiang Beimu."

"I won't go. I have to go and say hello to them and move. It will take a while to pack up."

"That's fine, that's up to you." Tan Qiu nodded, got up, got dressed and went out.

Lingyu Street.

Tan Qiu was wrapped in a cloak, and walked straight towards Lingyu Street after leaving Jiang's mansion. Jiang Beimu was planning to open a new shop, so he must be in the new shop at this moment.

The crowds on Lingyu Street were crowded with each other, and Tan Qiu was pushed forward by the crowd with great difficulty. Finally, he saw the word "Xianshuilou", and shouted with all his strength to let Yi let out of the crowd. go out.

The gate of Xianshui Building is closed, and there is no sign of opening.

Tan Qiu was a little confused, not in Lingyu Street, could it be in an old shop?

Tan Qiu looked around in confusion, and saw that the pastry shops next to Xianshui Building were busy with customers coming and going, but the front of Xianshui Building was too quiet, and there was no notice in front of the door.

Maybe Jiang Beimu was at the old shop.Tan Qiu thought about it and wanted to leave, just as he was taking a step, he heard a childish exclamation in the crowd.

"My sugar!"

Tan Qiu followed the voice, but saw a group of dexterous white velvet moving around in the crowd, and then ran towards him in a rampage.

A few crisp whistles sounded, and a familiar human voice came.

"Sorry, I'll compensate you for knocking over your pastry."

A vigorous black shadow leaped out from the crowd, and aimed at the group of little white shadows with precision like an arrow flying from the string.

Bai Ying was startled, lost his way and bumped into Tan Qiu's leg, Tan Qiu blinked, and quickly grabbed the little white shadow.

A black dog ran up to Tan Qiu and sat down, looking up at the little white dog in Tan Qiu's hands without moving.

The white dog seemed to be frightened, with its ears attached to its head, its tail rustling between its legs, and a pair of black eyes seemed to be misty, but it was biting a piece of pastry tightly in its mouth, and the hair around its mouth was covered with It's pastry crumbs.

"Thank you, brother." A tall man showed half of his head in the crowd, wearing a bamboo hat.

"It's you?" Tan Qiu asked curiously holding the white dog.

The man was also startled, and when he realized it, he smiled back and said, "What a coincidence, we meet again."
