Chapter 169 Here I Come to Serve the Master

The candle wick exploded with a "crack", and the lights flickered and dimmed accordingly. None of the three people in the room moved.

Jiang Beimu's legs were slightly apart, his palms rested on his knees, and he looked at Zhou Zhang with a calm face. Zhou Zhang was holding the mouth of the wine jar with one hand, and holding a bowl of wine in the other. His face was flushed with wine, but his eyes were very clear. Looking at Jiang Beimu.

After a long time, Zhou Zhang said: "If you are told to go down, go down, what are you doing in a daze."

Those words broke the silence in the room. Jiang Beimu didn't move, but he could hear the rustling of clothes and the movement of tables and chairs behind him, followed by the back of the boy running away.

The door opened and closed again, and there were only two people left in the room.

"The shop will open tomorrow." Jiang Beimu said.

"Hmm." Zhou Zhang casually snorted, and casually pushed the wine jar towards Jiang Beimu, "Drink."

Jiang Beimu frowned slightly, "I don't drink."

"Hey, that's weird." Zhou Zhang seemed to have heard some joke, he laughed a few times, and said strangely: "You don't even drink anymore, what's the matter? It's because you have a family and you can't drink anymore? Are you still afraid of him? ?”

"I can't drink at night." Jiang Beimu explained helplessly, and then showed a look of hesitation.

Humming an out-of-tune tune, Zhou Zhang grinned and said, "It's very similar, right? I saw it wrong at first glance, especially the eyes and mouth. As long as you paint the eyebrows a little, you'll be very much like him."

"Tsk tsk...there is no one in the world who can be so similar."

"A few days ago, I saw you always going in and out of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion. It was because of him." Jiang Beimu didn't move, but took the wine jar over, "I brought you back today, did you already redeem yourself?"

"50 taels, the old | bustard here is really rude. When I wanted to redeem him, it was only 200 taels." Zhou Zhang laughed, his voice was low and joking, "give me the wine."

"50 taels should be all your savings, right?" Jiang Bei Mu raised his hand and filled the wine bowl, but he didn't drink a drop.

"You can tell me if you need money. Back then you borrowed it from me. I really didn't have that much. If you still need it now, as long as I can afford it."

After Zhou Zhang listened, the smile on his mouth gradually subsided, and his eyes became a little loose. The memories buried deep in his heart surged up with the strength of the wine. The spicy taste was bitter, but it made him happy.

"It's all over, everyone is dead, now it's just a pile of bones, how can it be worth my hundred taels of silver..." Zhou Zhang has never been drunk after drinking more than ten bowls of wine, but now his words are reversed, showing a touch of stupidity.

"You said, could he be reincarnated? He came to look for me again..." As soon as the words fell, Zhou Zhang vetoed him, "No...impossible, he is 15 years old, how can there be 15 years... "

No matter how difficult it was for Jiang Beimu to maintain his composure, he sighed and persuaded: "If you are interested in him, why don't you treat him well. Hurt him like this, it will only make him more and more fond of you."

"You're confused." Zhou Zhang said seriously, "I didn't ask him to stay by my side."

"It was he who knelt in front of me and begged me to redeem him, and was willing to give me a cow or a horse. Am I such a kind person who doesn't ask for anything in return?" Zhou Zhang smiled recklessly, "Of course not, I have a request, I will If I gave him all of my wealth, he would have to stay by my side for three years and play the role of that person to make me happy."

"Just a toy."

Zhou Zhang's face turned cold, and he whispered to himself.

Jiang Beimu knew that he couldn't persuade him anymore, so he nodded and didn't say any more. When he got up, he picked up the wine jar, shook it and was about to go out with it, but Zhou Zhang stopped him.

"I'm leaving."

"Where? When."

"Go back to northern Xinjiang, I don't know when."

Jiang Beimu paused, turned around, his dark pupils reflected the candlelight, and his expression was gloomy.

"Go back to northern Xinjiang, go kill the enemy with your brothers, and die there." Zhou Zhang seemed to be drunk again, leaning on the chair crookedly, his face flushed, and he couldn't help smiling at Jiang Bei.

Jiang Beimu looked at him quietly, as if time had frozen at this moment.

"If it was a year ago." Jiang Beimu said in a calm and forceful voice, "If you come to me and have a word with me, I will leave this family property behind and go with you."

"But, it doesn't work now."

After saying that, Jiang Beimu stopped looking at Zhou Zhang, held the wine jar in one hand, opened the door and walked out, "No matter what happens tomorrow, I want to see you in the shop."

The door opened, and the cold wind poured in, instantly dispelling the warmth in the room. The moment Jiang Beimu stepped out, he saw a very familiar figure from the back.

The person who came was dressed in a moon-white gown, with black hair hanging down his back, huddled in a corner, and squatting beside him was a smaller figure, but wrapped in a snow-white fox jacket, the two of them resembled each other. A thief usually squats in a corner, shielded from the cold wind on three sides, facing the door.

Tan Qiu saw Jiang Beimu coming out, subconsciously reached out and waved at him, showing a smile.

Jiang Beimu was so angry that he threw the wine jar into the mud, stepped forward to pick up Tan Qiu, and pulled him into his arms without any explanation, "Why did you come here without wearing a piece of clothing?! Wait here How long? Why don't you go in?"

"I'm wearing it!" Tan Qiu replied unconvinced, but seeing that Jiang Beimu cared so much about him, he still put a layer of honey on his heart, and the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably.

"When I came here, I saw him standing at the door, almost freezing to death, so I put my clothes on for him. He had just squatted down, and was about to talk to him, when you came out."

As for why he didn't go in, Tan Qiu was embarrassed to say that he wanted to poach Zhou Zhang's corner, so as to pry out some news. After all, Zhou Zhang brought the boy back, and Tan Qiu was really curious.

Jiang Beimu let out a heavy breath, and without saying a word, he wanted to take him back. Tan Qiu was staggered, and the young man behind him saw Jiang Beimu's dark face like the bottom of a pot, and he really couldn't let go Come, want to say something but worry about the people in the room.

Tan Qiu turned his head, smiled at the boy, showing a soothing expression, and was dragged away from the courtyard by Jiang Beimu.

When the two returned to the bedroom, the first thing Jiang Beimu did was to order the servants to fetch hot water and light the charcoal fire, and then sat down at the table without saying a word.

Tan Qiu stood at the door, rubbed his hands, and leaned forward cautiously. Seeing Jiang Beimu frowning and staring at the candle in a daze, he boldly leaned on Jiang Beimu's back from behind.

"Why don't you warm me up, my hands are cold."

"You also know it's cold."

Jiang Beimu glanced sideways, and put Tan Qiu's hand in his arms. His tall figure was like a hill, which made Tan Qiu feel at ease.

"What are you talking to Zhou Zhang in the house, and what's going on with that boy? Is he going to live with Zhou Zhang?"

Tan Qiu threw out his own question, impatient to get an answer from Jiang Beimu.

Jiang Beimu didn't hide anything, and explained the matter between himself and Zhou Zhang in a few simple words.

"He's leaving?" Tan Qiu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he found that it seemed to make sense. As for Zhou Zhang's strange temper, he might have been stimulated by that young man. Blocked, began to hit the south wall.

And Tan Qiu had nothing to do about it, he could only sigh in return.

"You don't have to worry about his affairs. Once he has made up his mind, he can't be reversed." Jiang Beimu seemed to be able to see through Tan Qiu's thoughts, and specially warned him.

Tan Qiu chuckled, his upper body fell down, he put all his weight on Jiang Beimu's back, put his cheek on it, and rubbed against Jiang Beimu affectionately, and then said: "I just think about it, he treats me like this Fierce, you can't persuade me, how can you listen to me."

Feeling the tenderness on his face, Jiang Beimu couldn't help laughing and said, "If he treats you fiercely, you will be afraid of him. If I treat you well, you will be bullying me. The master has lost his status in front of you." .”

"Master, what are you talking about?" Tan Qiu smiled and raised his forehead to the side of Jiang Beimu's face, "I will serve Master to take a bath and change clothes."

Jiang Beimu let out a "huh", got up and pulled Tan Qiu into his arms, and said from top to bottom, "Then let's go together and serve Madam."
