lord and beauty

By the time Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu returned to the Jiang Mansion, it was already Youshi.

It began to snow in the afternoon, and except for a moment of sunlight in the morning, it was so gloomy for almost the whole day, and the sun set quickly, and it was almost dark at Youshi.The red lantern at the gate of the Jiang Mansion swayed gently in the wind.

Seeing that both Xiao Ye and Samu were going well, Xiao Ye and Fu He were busy cutting the window grilles. Don't look at Xiao Ye's five big and three rough, but his hands are quite skillful. After a few back and forth between the scissors and the red paper, it became a snowflake.Tan Qiu also joined in the fun and cut two, but it was a bit rough, but Tan Qiu himself liked it very much. He gave a red envelope for New Year's greetings, and Xiao Ye wanted to keep a meal. Both Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu declined, and left Xiao Ye. Ye Chu, then stopped by Samu's place.

Samu is a dog Rong, so he didn’t feel much about the festival of the Han people. He just took advantage of the festival and posted a few blessing characters on the front and back of the house, which was a bit of joy. The yard was still a little deserted. Tan Qiu didn’t look at it when he went in. There are some servants, but Sam is playing very vigorously with his black dog, playing a little game of throwing and picking with a branch. On weekdays, Tanqiu's impression of the black dog is suddenly majestic, as if it is no longer an ordinary dog. , there is nothing to attract it.

Unexpectedly, it was the same situation at home. With Sam's strong "coordination", Tan Qiu couldn't hold back the itching of his hands, and also played a game.

Jiang Beimu did not participate in the game, but just stood aside and watched Sam play with Tan Qiu in silence. When it was time to leave, Jiang Beimu asked Sam for the first time if he wanted to go to Jiang's mansion together for the New Year.

Tan Qiu was still looking forward to the fact that Sam could go there together. After all, it seemed that only Sam lived here, and the other servants were dismissed or returned home for the holidays. The huge courtyard was deserted.

Sam refused with a smile, and just said not to disturb, Jiang Beimu didn't say any more, just nodded slightly, even though Tan Qiu felt sorry, but he couldn't force others to do things he didn't like, so the two left .

"I thought I was robbed on the way to give the red envelopes, and I gave them for a day."

As soon as he entered the door, Tan Qiu saw Zhou Zhang's unbeatable face, and his stimulating words at that moment.

Zhou Zhang stood in front of the main hall, with a white thing lying on his feet, while Ruan Yue moved a small stool and sat in front of the court, holding the baby in her arms, playing with him.The three of them were obviously waiting for Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu to come back. Tan Qiu watched all this, and the warmth from "home" that was about to rise in his heart was cooled by Zhou Zhang's cold mouth.

"I don't care about you when it's the New Year's Eve." Tan Qiu grunted a couple of times with the expression of an adult who doesn't remember the villain's past, and then happily ran towards the baby.

The baby was also very excited when he saw Tan Qiu, his whole face burst into smiles, his fleshy little hands kept beating, and he ran out laughingly, yelling "Mother" in his mouth

Tan Qiu picked up the baby and unceremoniously sucked on the baby's smooth, tofu-like face, making the baby laugh and laugh. The little white dog sensed the cheerful atmosphere around him and couldn't help it. He jumped up, chased his tail in circles, and then wailed a few times.

Tan Qiu hung the two small cloth bags she bought around the baby's neck, one on the left and one on the left, and adjusted the length so that they fit just right on the belly.

"Aww——" the baby touched the cloth bag curiously.

"Does Zheng'er like it?" Tan Qiu asked with a smile as he touched the baby's head.

Hearing the words, the baby held the tiger-headed cloth bag with both hands and held it up high. His little face was flushed with excitement, and he let out a loud "Yeah!" and said loudly, "Thank you, mother!"

Seeing the soft white dumpling in front of her eyes, Tan Qiu wanted to hold it in her arms and rub it tightly. In fact, Tan Qiu did the same.

"Cough." Jiang Beimu coughed lightly, and interrupted: "Okay, stop making trouble, it's time for dinner."

Since Jiang Beimu had spoken, no one objected. Fortunately, Ruan Yue was in the mansion and knew how to cook ahead of time. Otherwise, Tan Qiu really hoped that Zhou Zhang would not be able to cook at home in advance and wait for them to eat when they came back.

Just thinking about Zhou Zhang standing at the door eagerly waiting for someone after cooking, Tan Qiu couldn't help shivering.

The five people ate and washed the dishes and chopsticks. Zheng'er was still young, so Tan Qiu did the washing for him, but the baby couldn't stay idle, so he volunteered to take a cloth towel and start wiping the stool. Such a well-behaved appearance fell into Tan Qiu's eyes. After washing the dishes and chopsticks, he hugged the baby and kissed him fiercely, and the baby stretched out his hand to wipe the saliva on his cheek, and trotted away. When he went out, he hid behind Ruan Yue with a smile on his face, secretly looking sideways at Tan Qiu.

After dinner, Tan Qiusuo, Ruan Yue and Baobao played with the snow in the yard, while Zhou Zhang and Jiang Beimu stood chatting under the eaves.

When it was Haishi, Ruan Yue carefully handed the drowsy baby into Tan Qiu's arms. Tan Qiu took off the cloak on her body and covered the baby. Then she glanced at Jiang Beimu. took over.

Tan Qiu seldom saw Jiang Beimu get close to the baby, let alone hold him in his arms like this. Even though Tan Qiu knew that the two were father and son, he didn't feel anything, as if even his "mother" seemed to be indifferent. He is more like a relative of the baby than Jiang Beimu.

But the two are also father and son after all, in his father's arms, the baby may be able to feel that natural sense of security, but at first he frowned slightly uncomfortable, moving his buttocks to find a comfortable place Jiang Beimu let him move a few times, and soon the baby calmed down. Jiang Beimu then covered the baby tightly with the cloak, exposing only his cheeks to breathe.

The baby's face was slightly red, and his pink mouth was gently opened to breathe out. The mist quickly dissipated in the cold wind, and his little hands were clenched into fists on Jiang Beimu's shoulders, and he fell asleep just like that.

The bright red light reflected on Jiang Beimu's face. At this moment, the sword eyebrows were stretched out, and the star-like eyes were looking at the baby in his arms gently and peacefully.

Tan Qiu saw this scene from the side, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart. Compared with his "mother", what the baby needs more is Jiang Beimu's love.But it can't be said that Jiang Beimu doesn't love the baby. Tan Qiu can only guess that Jiang Beimu's neglect in the past was partly due to his busy schedule, and the other part was the resentment towards the baby's birth mother.

That's right, resentment.

Even though Jiang Beimu talked about the baby's birth mother in a calm tone, but Tan Qiu could feel a bit of resentment from this plainness. He knew that Jiang Beimu hadn't really let go, and he also I don't know what happened that day. After all, to put it seriously, the death of Jiang Beimu's mother has something to do with that woman.

Abandoning husband and son, birth mother died of illness.

For Jiang Beimu, it was not an exaggeration to say that his family was ruined overnight.

Jiang Beimu obviously also knows how innocent the child is, and it is his own child, so he can't really ignore it, so he can only visit him less, ask the nanny to take care of him, and occasionally go to say a few words, Often the stools are left without being warmed up.

Now that the baby can rely on Jiang Beimu so much, Tan Qiu still feels distressed when he thinks about it, but he can't blame Jiang Beimu for this.

. .Yuyan. .

After all, I can only sigh one sentence, what happens is not human.

Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu went back to the house together. Jiang Beimu gently put the baby on the small bed, covered him with a small quilt carefully, and sat by the baby's bed by himself, watching the baby quietly. After sleeping for a while, she seemed to be in a daze.

"Master, are you going to sleep?" Tan Qiu whispered.

Jiang Beimu shook his head, "No rush." ​​After saying that, Jiang Beimu got up and went to the closet to get a sealed New Year's money, and quietly stuffed it under the baby's pillow.After doing this, Jiang Beimu sighed with complicated eyes, put down the curtain, and turned off the lights in the back room where the baby was.

"Take a break?" Tan Qiu looked at Jiang Beimu with pajamas in his hand, "I have to go to the villa tomorrow, so I still have to hurry."

Jiang Beimu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in response.

The two changed their clothes, turned off the lights and fell asleep.

Tan Qiu was restless when he woke up, and in his dream he kept flashing back to some things he had experienced in the past. For a while, he was made things difficult by Mei Xiang in the mansion, and he was not even given charcoal fire in winter, and for a while, he was running wildly on the mountain, not far or near behind. There were a few murderers with machetes on the ground, and Tan Qiu ran wildly all the way, as if he could see the gleaming machete when he turned his head.

Suddenly his feet stopped, as if he had tripped over something, Tan Qiu felt as if he was flying up, and fell straight forward, but the moment he landed, he didn't feel any pain. Holding a machete, his eyes were bloodthirsty and bright red.

Just when the machete was about to fall, a gust of cold wind blew, and those criminals burst open immediately, turning into several snow balls and flying away. Tan Qiu was almost blinded by the blowing, and the snow particles cut his cheeks like the tip of a knife.

A sharp and high-pitched neigh sounded, and a strong black horse broke through the wind and snow, pulling a luxurious carriage and galloping towards Tan Qiu with its hooves raised high——

There was a loud bang, which exploded in the sky like thunder, and Tan Qiu suddenly opened his eyes, panting in shock.

"Have a nightmare?"

In the darkness, Jiang Beimu's voice came, and Tan Qiu took a deep breath, feeling cold all over, not sure if it was because of the nightmare and sweating just now.

"I dreamed..." Tan Qiu paused, "It's so messy, someone wants to kill me, and the carriage will hit me too."

"It's okay, it's all a dream."

Jiang Beimu's voice was always deep and mellow, like the sound of gold and jade striking each other, which made people feel relieved unconsciously.

In the darkness, Tan Qiu's heart was still beating non-stop, almost jumping out of his chest. After panting for a while, there was a rustling sound beside him, as if Jiang Beimu moved sideways towards him.

Not long after, a powerful and muscular arm gently wrapped Tan Qiu in his arms, as if building the most solid barrier in the world, Tan Qiu's heartbeat also slowed down, and his breathing gradually stabilized.

Tan Qiu let out a breath, yearning for warmth like a rescued person who was dying, leaned sideways and buried his head into Jiang Beimu's arms, listening to the powerful heartbeat by his ears.

"What time is it now?" Tan Qiu's throat was dry, and after he regained his composure, he felt drowsy again.

"Hush." ​​Jiang Beimu whispered, "Listen."

Tan Qiu's breathing tightened slightly, as if his soul had flown out of his body for a moment, all the subtle sounds in the darkness came to his ears, there was silence at first, and then there was a sound like a drum beating slowly, but it was far away, I can't really hear it, the first sound is always accompanied by the second sound as if it is far away in the sky.

"It's a new year."

Jiang Beimu's rough fingertips gently rubbed Tan Qiu's earlobe, and his deep voice was like a dream, but the moment the voice fell, there was a thunder on the ground, and suddenly there was a loud noise, like a giant dragon overlooking the common people and let out a roar , tear apart this time and space, and divide it into two sections, the old and the new.

As soon as there was a sound, it was like mushrooms springing up after a rain. In an instant, the earth was full of such vibrations.

Tan Qiu opened his eyes slightly. This is the beginning of the handover between the old and the new. Thousands of households have come out to set off firecrackers. Through the hazy window paper, the dark night sky is also illuminated by the colorful fireworks.

Before Tan Qiu could speak, Jiang Beimu, who was beside him, pressed up in the dark.
