lord and beauty

Early in the morning on the first day of the new year, when the sky was bright, firecrackers sounded one after another.

When the entire Sifang City was immersed in the atmosphere of the New Year, the Jiang Mansion was surprisingly quiet.It seems to be a forgotten corner, sleeping in the sound of firecrackers.

The room was dark, and there were a few hoarse whispers from time to time, but the tone was vague and the words didn't express the meaning, as if they were just talking in sleep.There was a lingering heat in the room, which leaked out along the window cracks. Jiang Beimu stared at the top of the bed with his eyes soberly for a while, while Tan Qiu beside him tilted his head towards his neck, and the scattered black hair was twitching. Touching the soft flesh on Jiang Beimu's neck, Tan Qiu hummed subconsciously, as if he had a nightmare, he kept squeezing towards Jiang Beimu's side, shrinking his whole body.

Jiang Beimu stretched out his hand and gently patted Tan Qiu's back. The sound of firecrackers outside the window kept ringing one after another. Jiang Beimu was silent for a while, then moved his eyes from Tan Qiu to the dimly lit window paper, and then turned sideways. , face to face with Tan Qiu, and closed his eyes again, wanting to sleep.

"Mother..."

A thin voice suddenly sounded, which was particularly noticeable in this quiet room, the voice was still in a daze, as if it had just woken up.

Jiang Beimu opened his eyes, calmly and slowly withdrew his hand from Tan Qiu's side, got up and got out of bed.

"Mother."

The baby in the hut woke up, opened his eyes but didn't hear any movement in the house, tears filled his eyes in an instant, and his voice was tinged with panic, as if the cub had been abandoned and was at a loss.

"Shh..."

Jiang Beimu was wearing an underwear, opened the curtain and walked to the bed. Seeing the scene in front of him, he hissed in a low voice, and reached out to hug the baby.

"Don't move."

Jiang Beimu didn't stay long, and after saying a few words, he carried the baby and walked towards his bed. Tan Qiu was still sleeping soundly, and had no sense of what was happening around him, half of his body was squeezed into Jiang Beimu's seat , unconsciously grasping and rubbing with five fingers, still deeply in a dream.

Jiang Beimu gently put the baby down, and covered the two of them with the quilt. Seeing that the baby was looking at him with wide eyes and no sleepiness, he still stretched out his index finger to his lips and made a "shh" sound" action.

The baby nodded obediently, arched his buttocks and slid towards Tan Qiu's direction. When the forehead touched and the warm skin felt, the baby closed his eyes again in satisfaction.

Jiang Beimu saw the two cuddling together obediently, his heart softened suddenly, a smile that he didn't realize was in the corner of his mouth, he went behind the screen to get dressed, and went out the door with a cloth towel.

After half an hour.

Tan Qiu was woken up by the deafening sound of firecrackers outside the window and the lingering pressure in his heart.

What he saw was a big furry head resting on his chest, and there was still a little dampness on the skirt of his clothes. Tan Qiu felt the position, and if he guessed correctly, it should be the baby's saliva.

Tan Qiu had no choice but to pinch the baby's tender cheeks with both love and hatred, trying to move him down, but unexpectedly, the baby yelled indistinctly as soon as his hand touched the baby. "Niangqin", she pressed her cheek against Tan Qiu's heart with great reliance and slowly rubbed it.

Tan Qiubai's steelmaking suddenly became soft around his fingers, and he got up and dressed with the baby while kissing and hugging.

After Tan Qiu hurriedly dressed the baby, it was already nearly three poles above the sun, and the moment he went out, he could see Ruan Yue and Zhou Zhang in the yard, holding a blue and white porcelain bowl with a white background, talking about something What, when Tan Qiu and the baby came out, they all cast their gazes over.

"Aunt Yueyue..." Seeing that Ruan Yue was very happy, the baby left Tan Qiu and ran towards Ruan Yue in a "hug" gesture. Ruan Yue hurriedly put the porcelain bowl in her hand on the stone table beside her, bent over Waist hugged the baby into his arms, and stroked the baby's disheveled hair with a smile.

"Hero Tomb of Gentle Township."

Zhou Zhang uttered a sentence without beginning or end, and then stopped looking at Tan Qiu, and instead concentrated on eating the red dates in his bowl.

Tan Qiu has been familiar with Zhou Zhang's style for a long time, and he doesn't bother himself on the first day of the new year. After all, for him, as long as Zhou Zhang doesn't stab him, it will be a big face for him during the year.

"Morning." Tan Qiuchao said to the two, Ruan Yue responded with a smile, and took the initiative to say: "The master is still in the kitchen, stewed red dates and porridge, son, hurry up and eat."

"Thank you for your hard work. I will trouble you early in the morning. You have to get up and cook on the first day of the new year." Tan Qiu thanked Ruan Yue without thinking too much.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Yue pursed her lips and smiled, looked in the direction of the kitchen meaningfully, and said politely: "I also borrowed all of it today, and I didn't cook today's meal."

Tan Qiu let out an "oh", and walked towards the kitchen without stopping, but after a while, she realized that she trotted towards the kitchen, her eyes were bright, like a dog who saw a bone.

As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, Tan Qiu saw Jiang Beimu sitting in the stove with tongs in his hands. The firelight reflected on his face, making his already deep face even more handsome.

When Jiang Beimu heard the movement, he raised his eyes and looked at it without any surprise, and said very naturally: "The red dates are in the big pot, and the white porridge is in the small pot. You can serve whatever you want."

Tan Qiu laughed "hehe" twice, walked to Jiang Beimu's side, squatted down, rested his elbow on Jiang Beimu's thigh, put his chin on his chin and smiled and said, "I'm not hungry."

Jiang Bei Mu Meifeng raised his head calmly, raised his hand and threw a split log into the stove, and said casually, "Eat something if you're not hungry, or you won't have anything to eat when you're hungry on the road later. "

"Then you feed me." Tan Qiu said cheekily.

Jiang Beimu had a half-smile, "Zheng'er is not being fed now."

"He just wants to eat more. We always control the amount of food we feed him. He can't eat it himself." Tan Qiu began to slander the baby without blushing, looking like he was cheating on the spot.

Jiang Beimu smiled and said nothing, but he had no intention of getting up to feed him at all. Tan Qiu quit immediately and took the initiative to fill a bowl of red dates, and without any explanation, he stuffed the bowl and chopsticks to Jiang Beimu.

"I don't care, I won't eat if you don't feed me." Tan Qiuru acted shamelessly.

This meal was finally finished under Tan Qiu's serious accusation, and Jiang Beimu fed Tan Qiu one by one. Tan Qiu only felt that what he ate was not red dates, but candied fruit.

Very sweet.

It's just that the price is to finish eating in front of a meal, which is already approaching noon.

When Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu were about to go out, the carriage had already been waiting outside for a while, and the groom had also returned home because of the Chinese New Year, leaving only the black horse grazing idly in the backyard stable all day long. Zhou Zhangsan went to ride it from time to time, even so, it also gained a lot of weight visible to the naked eye.

Tan Qiu originally wanted to take Zhou Zhang, Ruan Yue and Bao Bao, but Zhou Zhang bluntly said that he was too lazy to go out, Ruan Yue was too sensible, and was afraid of disturbing Tan Qiu's "good things", and Bao Bao had a tendency to become a "slacker". After asking, only Tanqiu and Jiang Beimu could go on this trip.

Although it was expected, Tan Qiu couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

Jiang Beimu didn't say anything. After the two got into the carriage, Jiang Beimu drove the horse out of the city through the back streets. Overwhelmed by the enemy, it is easy to drive a small fat horse at this moment. Sitting alone in the carriage, Tan Qiu was bored, so he simply took out the small stool he was sitting on, and put it next to the door, to have a ride with Jiang Beimu We chatted together.

"Look, there is a big bird's nest in the tree over there."

"Ah."

……

"I just flew over a very fat bird, almost as fat as our horse." Tan Qiu rested his chin and looked up at the sky, still wanting more.

Jiang Beimu responded with a smile.

There was silence between the two of them again, except for the rattling hooves of the carriage and the grunting of the wheels.

Jiang Beimu drove the carriage slowly, not in a hurry to go to that mountain villa, and Tan Qiu was even less in a hurry. He always talked one after another along the way, either seeing a fat bird or sighing. Jiang Beimu patiently answered the two calls about how strong the other people's horses are. Perhaps the road was really boring. After Tan Qiu sat for a while, he couldn't sit still, and he stretched out his hand on Jiang Beimu's back at every turn There are lightly painted patterns on it.

However, Jiang Beimu remained as still as a mountain.

"I'm so bored, how long will it take?" Tan Qiubai reached out and clasped the window frame in boredom, outside were all the same trees, and even the other carriages on the road disappeared, as if there were only the two of them on the whole road .

"Hey, I should have called them all up earlier, and I can chat and be a companion on the way." Tan Qiu sighed.

Jiang Beimu was noncommittal about this, but turned his head slightly, his eyes swept across the trees on both sides casually, and then said: "If you are bored, just count the trees. Count how many dead trees and how many evergreen trees are along the way. of."

Tan Qiu pouted, "Then I might as well sleep."

Jiang Beimu laughed lowly, "It's better not to sleep, we have to speed up."

Tan Qiuben didn't take it seriously, and responded vaguely. Jiang Beimu shook the reins and screamed "Drive!", the reins shook and hit the horse, making a sound of breaking through the air. In an instant, the horse neighed, As if frightened, his original fatigue was swept away, and he galloped forward with all his might.

Inertia caused Tan Qiu to fall backwards, and fell into the carriage with his buttocks. He felt a sharp pain, and could only hold on to the sideways seat with his hands to barely stabilize his figure.

"What's the matter...how come it's so fast all of a sudden."

"Low down, don't move around, and don't come out."

Jiang Beimu's voice was still calm, but Tan Qiu heard something unusual in it, and when he thought about the assassin before, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly fell down as Jiang Beimu said, "What's wrong? Is there another assassin?"

Jiang Beimu hesitated for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "It's not an assassin. There are a lot of people here, all on horseback. They have their own way of communication. Did you hear the bird song just now? That's why they are communicating. They are divided into two groups. , This is trying to besiege us."

Before Tan Qiu could respond, Jiang Beimu continued to think to himself: "It doesn't look like an army, it doesn't look like they sent it..."

Tan Qiu was shocked, and after Jiang Beimu reminded him, he realized that there were indeed a few sudden birdsong, and he jokingly said to Jiang Beimu, "I don't know where the bird came from, it's not spring yet. just call it so vigorously"

Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, it turned out to be another group of murderers.

Perhaps it was because of Jiang Beimuhu's speeding up, the group of thugs didn't hide anymore, they also speeded up, the horses followed closely behind, and dozens of chaotic horseshoes sounded, sticking firmly on the ground like shadows. Behind Tan Qiu and Jiang Beimu, not long after, the sound of horseshoes got closer...

Jiang Beimu has been silent since just now, and Tan Qiu knew that he might be thinking of a countermeasure. After all, there are so many people on the other side, and one person can chop Tan Qiu into meat with one knife, so it can't be sloppy.

When Jiang Beimu didn't speak, Tan Qiu became even more nervous. He couldn't help but quietly stretched out a finger to lift the side curtain of the carriage, and poked his head out to look out.

On the hill on the side of the official road, a row of black shadows closely adorned the carriage of Tan Qiu and his wife, frequently looked at from Tan Qiu's side, and roughly estimated that it was only within the reach of Tan Qiu's eyes , There are six people on horseback chasing.

Just now, Jiang Beimu also said that the two sides came together, so there were at least 12 people.

What kind of handwriting was this, Tan Qiu quickly recalled in his mind, who exactly did he offend, and made him teach himself so much at the expense of blood.
