lord and beauty

After the twenty-fourth, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is already thirty.

The heavy snow that covered the entire Sifang City stopped for a few days after the [-]th day, and then fell down again on the [-]th day, adding a touch of soft whiteness to the dark and condensed snow.

Jiang Beimu gave the maids and servants in the mansion a rest in advance, and after paying their monthly salary, they said they would come again on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. This posture, in the entire Sifang City, no big family would do this, and it made the servants worry about whether it was their boss or not. It's time to leave, this is a good breakup in advance.

All these doubts dissipated after they counted their monthly salary.

The monthly salary is not only not short, but also one or two more!The hands of the domestic servants holding their monthly salaries were almost shaking.

After returning from the fourth day of the lunar new year with Jiang Beimu's personal consent, the servants happily packed up their belongings and went home.

"Master is so generous."

When the servants in the mansion were almost gone, Tan Qiu stood at the door of the Banqiu Pavilion, looking at Jiang Beimu who was buried in his writing, with a sour tone.

Jiang Beimu didn't raise his head, "Huh? What?"

"One tael of silver! Just sent it out like this! Do you know how many people are in our family! This amount of silver is enough for a period of time!" Tan Qiu wailed, but Jiang Beimu was still in a hurry. Slowly, as if it wasn't his money being spent.

"Does this hurt?" Seeing Tan Qiu's sad tone, Jiang Beimu couldn't help but put down the pen in his hand, raised his eyes and smiled, "When your shop opens in the next year, you can earn more than this."

Tan Qiu looked at Jiang Beimu sadly, "This is different."

The money spent actually passed through his hands, but the "big money" earned after that year was not even a shadow.

"What's the difference?" Jiang Beimu stood up, picked up a square piece of red paper on the table, and walked up to Tan Qiu, only then did Tan Qiu realize that the word "Fu" was written in the center of the red paper .

The font is strong and powerful, showing sharpness at first glance, but when you look closely, each stroke is round and inclusive, which makes the word as a whole not look too stern, but just like the green pines and cypresses. There is some character in it.

Is this what Jiang Beimu wrote just now?

"Didn't our family buy these pairs of Spring Festival couplets? Why did the master write them again?" Although Tan Qiu admired Jiang Beimu's good handwriting, he was still puzzled.

"The custom over there is that elder brothers and elders write blessings by hand, and put them in red envelopes and give them to younger generations. It can ward off evil spirits. I shouldn't have written them. It's just that my parents have left early, otherwise it should have been written by my father." Give it to Zhenger."

"Ah! Red envelope!" After Jiang Beimu's words, Tan Qiucai suddenly realized.

Yes, he has to prepare a red envelope for the baby!

It's just... Tan Qiu looked at the word "Fu" in Jiang Beimu's hand, and his heart tightened slightly, "I don't know how to write it too... I don't write well."

Jiang Beimu smiled and shook his head, then put the word "Fu" back on the desk, and when he turned around, he already had a square red envelope in his hand, and when he reached Tan Qiu, he reached out and handed it over.

"Here, this is for you."

Tan Qiu was slightly stunned, and subconsciously refused: "What are you doing for me, I'm already this old, I don't need red envelopes anymore."

Jiang Beimu didn't take back his hand, just smiled and said: "My mother said, according to her customs, the mother-in-law is going to give a red envelope to the new daughter-in-law, and sealing the red envelope means that she recognizes the daughter-in-law. It’s included in her family tree. She can’t give it to you by herself, so I’ll give it to you, it’s the same.”

Tan Qiu didn't refuse this time, she just carefully put away the red envelope and put it in her arms. When she looked up again, her eyes were already slightly red.

Jiang Beimu didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to hold Tan Qiu into his arms. The two stood hugging each other for a long time without speaking.

At noon, several people had lunch together, most of the servants in Jiang's mansion had left, leaving only Zhou Zhang, Ruan Yue, Jiang Beimu, Tan Qiu, and a baby.

After a few people had a simple meal, Jiang Beimu arranged things for the afternoon.Ruan Yue and Zhou Zhang exchanged Spring Festival couplets and some other things at home. Zhou Zhang and Tan Qiu first went to Xiao Ye and Sa Mu to pay New Year's greetings in advance. After all, they planned to leave on the first day of the new year. They didn't have time to inform them one by one, so they simply went to pay their respects in advance. years.

Tan Qiu touched the big red envelopes that Jiang Bei Mu Sai gave him. They were bulging, and he knew they were big money at a glance. However, Tan Qiu didn't care much about the money. No, he felt that it was understandable to seal a thicker wallet, after all, he helped a lot at the beginning.

The New Year's Eve street was still full of people, and there were stalls on both sides. Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu didn't take a carriage to go there, but chose to walk to the door and stroll along the street, but most of the time they talked Qiu was watching, while Jiang Beimu walked forward without looking sideways, occasionally looking sideways in response to Tan Qiu's words.

"Look at this!"

Tan Qiu stopped abruptly, and picked up a small cloth bag with a tiger head from a stall. The tiger head was finely stitched and well embroidered. After falling for this, he couldn't put it down and fiddled with Jiang Beimu, motioning him to look.

Jiang Beimu nodded slightly, "For Zheng'er? He doesn't need this, but you can buy it if you like it."

The stall owner was busy greeting the women who were leading the children around him, and he only said a few polite words to Tan Qiu before he ignored him, and only cared about collecting money from others.

Tan Qiu was also happy that the stall owner would not disturb him, and happily refuted Jiang Beimu's words.

"Who said there is no need, let the baby wear this small cloth bag to go out for a walk tonight, just use this small cloth bag to hold red envelopes and candies, so as not to be unable to take it down when it comes."

Seeing Tan Qiuxiao's happiness, Jiang Beimu couldn't help shaking his head and jokingly said, "I'm afraid you and I can fill up this small bag tonight."

Tan Qiu didn't take it seriously, and hummed: "Of course I clear the bag first when I go out."

Having said that, Tan Qiu chose a pure white deer-shaped cloth bag again, which was about the same size as this tiger-head cloth bag, one red and one white, and it was very cute when it was turned upside down.

Jiang Beimu stepped forward to pay the money, and then Tan Qiu happily continued walking towards Xiao Ye's mansion with a cloth bag in each hand.

After taking two steps, Tan Qiu suddenly stopped, as if attracted by something, sucked his nose, and then looked around in the crowd, as if looking for something.

Just at this time, a hot steam rose into the sky not far away, accompanied by the cool shout of the hawker:

"Steaming sweet glutinous cake——!"

"Sweet glutinous cake!" Tan Qiu's eyes lit up, and he said "I'll go buy some sweet glutinous cake" before running towards the hawker.

"Hey!" Jiang Beimu couldn't stop him in time. Seeing Tan Qiu being pushed to the other side by a crowd, his heart skipped a beat. When he realized it, Tan Qiu had already squeezed to the front of the stall by the crowd. .

The stall owner moved very swiftly. Seeing that Tan Qiu wanted a lot, he greeted Tan Qiu without saying a word. Tan Qiu opened his mouth wide and cut almost one-third of the sweet glutinous cake in one fell swoop, which made the peddler smile. .

Tan Qiu took the pastries packaged and handed over by the vendor, turned around and saw Jiang Beimu standing motionless in the crowd and looking at him, the tall figure stood in place like a green pine tree, surrounded by the endless stream of people , but couldn't attract his attention, those Gujing Wubo eyes were looking at Tan Qiu steadfastly.

Tan Qiu's heart warmed, and he smiled and held up the sweet glutinous cake in his hand to show Jiang Beimu.

Jiang Beimu had no choice but to tilt his head slightly, signaling Tan Qiu to hurry over.

As soon as Tan Qiufang took a step, a black figure jumped out from beside him, hitting his waist with such force that it seemed that the man had been pushed out. Tan Qiu didn't notice it for a while, and was knocked down to the ground , When I realized it, I realized that it was a child who hit me just now.

To be precise, he was a little beggar.

A tattered cotton coat, a pair of shoes on his feet, I don’t know where he picked them up from, his hair is messy, tied behind his head by a blackened red rope, his face is dirty Xi, only those eyes are dark and bright.

Tan Qiu was taken aback, the sweet glutinous cake he just bought was knocked off his hand by the little beggar and fell to the ground.

"You..." As soon as Tan Qiu opened his mouth, the little beggar picked up the sweet glutinous cake that fell on the ground and ran into the crowd without looking back.

"Are you OK."

Jiang Beimu didn't know when he ran over from the opposite side, helped Tan Qiu up, frowned slightly, and took a deep look at the direction the little beggar ran away.

"I'm fine, it's the cake..." Tan Qiu was stunned by the sudden bump, and the little beggar was gone by the time he realized it.

"I'll just buy another after the new one comes out of the pan." Jiang Beimu said casually, not caring about the dispensable pastry.

Tan Qiu couldn't help it, so he could only respond and pat the dust off his clothes.

"what!!"

Jiang Beimu was caught off guard by Tan Qiu's exclamation, and when he looked over, he found that Tan Qiu was frightened, groping in front of him with his hands helplessly, and said anxiously: "My bag is gone. The bag I just bought for the baby! He must have taken it away!"

"Why didn't I find out just now, no, I clearly wore it, how did he take it away?"

Tan Qiu was in a hurry, he was muttering, his complexion was slightly pale, his panicked appearance attracted the attention of others.

Jiang Beimu was relieved, it was only two bags, so he comforted him: "It's okay, just go back and buy two more."

"No! Hurry up and chase him!" Tan Qiu was in a panic, and hurriedly grabbed Jiang Beimu's arm to run forward.

"What?" Jiang Beimu sensed something was wrong.

"I put the red envelope in the cloth bag! He also took the red envelope!"

Tan Qiu was so impatient, she wished she could put on her wings and fly directly in front of the little beggar.

"The red envelope is gone, it's gone, just go back and seal another one." Jiang Beimu didn't pay much attention to this matter, but seeing Tan Qiu so nervous, he wanted to calm him down first.

"what!"

Before Jiang Beimu could finish speaking, Tan Qiu exclaimed again.

"Over there! Quick, quick over there."

At the corner of the cross street not far away, the little beggar who bumped into Tan Qiu just now was being held in the corner by two or three other people who looked much bigger. The beggars also heard the movement and turned their heads one after another.
