Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

Hua Jianyue's expression was also extremely aggrieved, her beautiful face was wrinkled together, as if she had lingering fears in her heart, she said, "Yurong, I thought my head was about to move, but my heart kept beating, look, what if What a pity that my beautiful face has moved! Therefore, Yurong must suppress the shock for us!"

Lu Qingran has never seen these two people look so aggrieved. They get along for many days. She feels that Ming Wang Feng Xitang is elegant and courteous, and the Duke Hua Jianyue also has the aristocratic temperament, gentle and elegant. However, these two people today It turns out that one moment is high above, and the other moment is wronged and wants to cry. This is really an actor on the stage.

She was so dumbfounded!

After listening to Hua Jianyue's words, Bei Tangjin almost spit out the mouthful of wine he had just swallowed.

He is obviously a big man, although he looks a little more seductive, but this whole body doesn't look like a delicate woman?

This……

If you can barely listen to Feng Xitang's words, then Hua Jianyue's words will not make you think with normal thinking at all.

Bei Tangjin put down the wine glass, looked Hua Jianyue up and down, saw that the other party still had a very frightened expression, and comforted: "Then Yurong respects the prince and the Duke, and expresses his comfort." She After finishing speaking, he raised his wine glass and made a toast to Feng Xitang and Hua Jianyue, but Feng Xitang did not raise his wine glass, but frowned and said, "Yurong, this toast is not enough to shock you." !"

Bei Tangjin raised his glass and looked at Feng Xichen, feeling more and more that although this person is so handsome and graceful, in fact, he is like a cynical libertine in his bones, who likes to play tricks and play tricks on others Between applause.

This was originally King Ming's territory, even if he committed the crime of disrespecting the royal family, with Feng Xitang's favor, the emperor and ministers would never say anything, but they would think that His Royal Highness King Ming is bohemian and can't remember the death day of Empress Taizu. , Moreover, he was also confident, how could he be frightened?A toast is enough to suppress the shock, however, Feng Xitang put forward other conditions, which is really making things difficult on purpose.

Lu Qingran was taken aback when he heard it, didn't he often say that drinking can suppress shock?Why, there are other ways to suppress the shock?It's amazing!

She was puzzled when she heard Bei Tangjin's calm and slightly respectful voice, saying, "Then how does the prince think you can suppress the shock?" Since you are not satisfied, then you can talk about the method of suppressing the shock. All ears!

Feng Xitang smiled, with sparkles in his eyes, a teasing smile appeared on his handsome face, and he said: "Xicheng heard that Yurong is good at writing calligraphy, especially good at plum blossom seal. Xitang is deeply honored by Yurong's words." Feng Xitang's voice was humble and polite, but the teasing look on his face only made Bei Tangjin want to pick up the wine glass and pour wine all over his face to relieve his anger!

While talking, Feng Xitang raised his wine glass and smiled at Bei Tangjin who had a slightly angry face, as if to say: Look at you, I didn't intend to tease you, why should you treat me like a villain? What about the belly of a gentleman?

"Xicheng respects Yurong a glass." After he finished speaking, he took the lead in raising his head and drank the glass of wine.

The other party had already drank, and Bei Tangjin naturally drank it up cleanly, and then said: "Since it was entrusted by the prince, then Yurong will give it a try, but Yurong's handwriting is really clumsy, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Ascend to the elegant hall, when the time comes, the prince should not laugh at him."

"Yu Rong, don't be so humble. When the time comes, the garden will be completed, so don't forget about Yu Rong." Feng Xitang still smiled gracefully, showing the grandeur and elegance of the royal family with her gestures and gestures.

"Since Yi Ning got Yu Rong's character, then..." Hua Jianyue frowned, thinking hard, what should she ask Bei Tang Jin for?

Bei Tangjin really thought that Feng Xitang had asked for her own handwriting, so she just revealed it. Who knew that although Hua Jianyue's face was like peaches and plums, and her pink was like petals, she was thicker than a copper wall!

Bei Tangjin suppressed her slight anger, and said with a smile: "If the Duke of the country can't remember it for a while, then tell me another day, even though Yurong is a woman, she won't renege on her debt!" This is obviously ironic!Fang Caifeng's begging for words was too much, if Hua Jianyue wants to ask her to do something again, it has reached the point where she can't bear it!Even if she comes from a great family, no matter how well-bred she is, she will be so angry with these two that she wants to get angry!

Lu Qingran could understand it. Only then did King Ming and the Duke know that today is the death day of Empress Xiaoci Gao, the Taizu, and they deliberately slaughtered the deer, and persuaded Bei Tangjin to eat meat. If Bei Tangjin really ate meat today, Maybe it would be a crime of disrespect to the royal family, and Feng Xitang and Hua Jianyue didn't seem to be afraid. However, Bei Tangjin didn't fall into the trick after all, so the two of them were naturally unhappy. Deliberately making things difficult for Bei Tangjin!

After all, Bei Tangjin was also a well-known general in the Great Xia, so it was very uncomfortable to be teased by two people like this, so when Feng Xichen asked for a letter for the first time, she did not refuse, and Hua Jianyue wanted to follow her again. What you get there is deceiving too much!Therefore, Bei Tangjin was satirizing the two of them, even though they were men, but they played such tricks and teased others, even a little girl like her was not as good as her!What a disgrace to the nobles!

Hua Jianyue was so choked by Bei Tangjin's words that she didn't know what to say for a while, her coquettish face flushed slightly, presumably because of embarrassment, but he quickly raised his glass, smiling as before, and said, " Yu Rong is the Great Xia General, with illustrious military exploits, a woman who does not give way to a man, even though Jian Yue is a man, she is far behind!"

It means that you, General Yurong, are well-known, so of course you speak your mind, while Hua Jianyue, who is not well-known, is naturally not as brave as General Yurong, so how can you compare with General Yurong?Therefore, his teasing and teasing doesn't need to be in the hall of elegance!

Bei Tang Jin was born in a great family and has seen countless people, but this is the first time I see Hua Jianyue being so thick-skinned!She is really short of words, she can no longer describe this person with proper words!

Feng Xichen smiled gracefully, straightened her sleeves casually, looked at Bei Tang Jin's blue and white face, she wanted to laugh, I'm afraid she didn't know it, An Chen was famous for his thick skin, so far no one Can and it!

Lu Qingran originally thought that Bei Tangjin said such ironic words, Hua Jianyue was born in a famous family, and he was a dignified man, so she should be angry, but instead of getting angry, the other party turned the words around and returned them to Bei Tangjin!

"That Yurong will wait for the Lord's instruction in another day!" Bei Tangjin has no intention of arguing with this person, she is not as thick-skinned as him!

Hua Jianyue liked Bei Tangjin's angry appearance very much, and she clearly wanted to press him to the ground and kick him, but it was really not easy to keep a respectful smile on her face!However, even so, he did not intend to let her go.

"I don't know if Yurong is good at painting. If I can find a painting by Yurong, it would be a pleasure to put it in the study and admire it every day." Hua Jianyue smiled like a spring flower, and her mouth seemed to be wiped with spring peach blossom honey , only sweet to the apex of the heart.

It's just that Bei Tangjin gritted her teeth when she heard this, and said in her heart: Although I don't like to tease people, I really want to draw a thousand-year-old tortoise as a gift!It's better to mention a word, so as not to be misunderstood that she is celebrating Hua Jianyue's birthday!

Feng Xitang said: "An Chen, you forgot, Yurong was taught by Jingzhen, Master Jingzhen is praised by the world both for martial arts and painting, so Yurong is naturally the true biography of Master Jingzhen, is this painting? No Is it at your fingertips? Am I right? Yurong?" After he finished speaking, he raised his glass and smiled at Bei Tangjin, as if admiring his blue and white face.

Now that people know that she can paint, she naturally can't lie, so she said: "Yu Rong can indeed paint a few strokes, but the painting skills are clumsy, I'm afraid it will stain the eyes of the prince and the Duke."

Hua Jianyue smiled and said: "How could it be? Yurong is smart and quick, and she can write a good handwriting. Naturally, the paintings can't be bad. I hope Yurong doesn't have to be humble to refuse!"

"If that's the case, then Yurong is showing her shame!" Bei Tangjin said very bluntly, but she really didn't refuse any more.

She was so forthright that Feng Xitang and Hua Jianyue were stunned. They thought that Bei Tang Jin would find ways to resign. After all, they were teasing so much that even a little girl would be annoyed, not to mention that she was a general, and she had always loved her. Respected, how could he be teased like this?

However, since Bei Tangjin really wanted to make a painting as a gift, they were happy to see it come true, so Feng Xichen laughed and said, "Yurong is indeed a cheerful person!" They brought over a table, brushes, ink, paper and inkstone, etc., and placed them in front of Bei Tangjin.

Bei Tangjin got up immediately, glanced at the rice paper that had been laid out, and dipped the brush into the ink. After a while, the painting was completed, so the maids on the left and right picked up the painting from the table and unfolded it for everyone to watch.

Feng Xitang was very curious, what was Bei Tangjin painting so quickly?He turned his head and looked sideways, and saw a vast ocean surrounded by mountains on the snow-white rice paper, and on the turbulent sea, there was a benevolent Guanyin floating, and in front of Guanyin was a giant tortoise, It seems to be being instructed by Guanyin.Seeing this, Feng Xichen frowned in confusion, what does this mean?

After Hua Jianyue looked at it, she was also very puzzled, and asked, "Is there any meaning to Yurong's painting?" Of course, he didn't think that this was Bei Tangjin wanting to praise him or bless him, after all, he was so talented just now. Teasing with her ah!It's just that he really didn't understand the meaning of the painting.

The sea symbolizes breadth, the tortoise symbolizes longevity, and Guanyin symbolizes blessings. What does this mean together?Hua Jianyue tried her best to think, but in the end she couldn't think of the meaning that Bei Tangjin gave it.

Lu Qingran looked at it and admired Bei Tangjin's superb painting skills. With only a few strokes, she could draw the objects in the painting so vividly. The gods of painting stand shoulder to shoulder, but compared with Bei Tangjin, I am really ashamed!

Seeing that everyone at the banquet was frowning in thought, Bei Tangjin smiled more respectfully, and said, "Does the Duke like Yurong's painting?"

Hua Jianyue didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Beitang Jin's gourd, but after all, he worked hard to paint, so he deserved a word of appreciation, and said, "Yurong's painting skills are exquisite, and every stroke is very vivid. I'm afraid Jingzhen The master will also praise you here!"

It is indeed not easy to get a compliment from her master Jingzhen. Hua Jianyue is saying respectful words. However, Bei Tangjin is not prepared to change her original intention, and said with a smile: "Since the Duke of the Kingdom likes it, please ask the country to give me a compliment." Take it, my lord!" After she finished speaking, she took the painting from the handmaid and handed it to Hua Jianyue.

Hua Jianyue took the painting, looked at the vivid Guanyin and the tortoise, still puzzled, said: "Yurong hasn't said the meaning of the painting yet!"

Bei Tangjin had already returned to her seat, she smiled and said, "Since the Duke wants to know the meaning, then Yurong will tell you a story!"

Hua Jianyue knew that there was a hidden mystery in Bei Tangjin's painting, but he still wanted to know what it meant.

"I would like to hear the details." Hua Jianyue listened very carefully.

Feng Xitang felt that she was already very familiar with the allusions of unofficial history, but she couldn't figure out what the meaning of Bei Tangjin's painting was, so she listened very carefully.

Bei Tangjin said: "The former Korean prince had a son named Bichen. He didn't like poetry and books since he was a child. He liked to play in the powder pile all day long. It's just that the Korean prince had high hopes for him and often dissuaded him, but he just didn't listen and was beaten. Afterwards, it was still the same. However, one day, he suddenly didn’t like playing in the powder pile, and went to kneel in his own ancestral hall. Mrs. Korea was very surprised, so she asked him why he was kneeling here again.”

"Bichen told Mrs. Han that his friend told him a way to avoid being beaten. He said that he would put a picture of a tortoise praying for Buddha in the ancestral hall, and kneel down every day, and gradually he would become the tortoise in the painting. Not only can he live for thousands of years, but he can also become a god. Then he will not be beaten again. He can stay as long as he likes among the beauties, and no one can control him. Isn't it comfortable? Mrs. Looking at the wall, I saw a tortoise in the vast sea in the painting, but there was a Guanyin floating in front of the tortoise, and I was very surprised."

When Bei Tangjin spoke up to this point, she stopped on purpose, looked sideways at Hua Jianyue's face, and saw that the other party's flirtatious face was already blushing, Bei Tangjin turned a blind eye, lowered her eyes and took a sip of wine to quench her thirst, He laughed and said, "Yurong gave this painting to wish the Duke of the country to live a thousand years, just like the tortoise in this painting, reaching the realm of seeking Buddha."

After listening to Bei Tangjin's words, Lu Qingran was very puzzled. Since he wanted to send a painting of wishing longevity and longevity, he could draw another picture. Why did he choose such a picture with a sense of irony?

this is not……

Hearing this, Feng Xitang also remembered the origin of this story.

This story of "The Tortoise Seeking Buddha" was very popular in the former dynasty. Already confused by the color of makeup and powder, he was so stupid that he could become a fairy or a Buddha by worshiping the tortoise in the painting.

What is even more despicable is that the name of the painting is the turtle seeking Buddha, but the painting in the painting is actually Avalokitesvara. The Bodhisattva's practice is not perfect enough, so he is not yet a Buddha. Therefore, isn't it funny that the tortoise prayed to Guanyin for Buddha?

Then, the meaning of Bei Tangjin's painting is already very obvious.

but……

Feng Xitang looked at the picture of the tortoise begging Buddha in Hua Jianyue's hands and shouted inwardly!

Hua Jianyue is so smart, although he doesn't know if there is such a story, but he knows that Bei Tangjin's purpose in making this painting is to tease him, to avenge his shame.

If he really accepted the painting, it would mean that he was as stupid as Bichen in the story, but he suddenly realized that it was too late for him to refuse at this time.Because he had already praised the painting just now, and Bei Tangjin took the painting from the handmaid and sent it to him, and he also accepted it, which shows that he has accepted the painting Draw, it's too late to regret it now!

Bei Tangjin was bullying him because he didn't understand the allusions. He thought he had received a blessed painting, but it turned out to be a satire on his stupidity.

Hua Jianyue really wanted to tear the painting in her hand, this Bei Tangjin!But let him collect the painting first, and then tell the story, it really pissed him off!

Looking secretly at Hua Jianyue's angry expression and slightly trembling sleeves, Bei Tangjin pretended to be surprised and said, "Why, does the Duke think that Yurong's paintings are not vivid enough?"

He had just praised Bei Tangjin's expressive brushwork just now, and Bei Tangjin asked him such words at this time, which is even more mocking him. She was teased without knowing it, but she still praised her for her superb painting skills, how stupid!

No matter how thick-skinned Hua Jianyue is, his complexion is extremely ugly at this time, but he has been educated by nobles since he was a child, and he is still very cultivated. When he got angry for a moment, he rolled up the painting and handed it to the maids on the left and right to collect it carefully. Then he said with a very respectful expression: "An Chen has always admired Yu Rong very much, it is An Chen's honor to get Yu Rong's painting today, so no matter what the meaning of this painting is, An Chen will not let down Yu Rong's image Mind."

The meaning of these words seems to be, I admire you General Yurong very much, and it is not easy to ask for a painting today, so I even accepted this painting that implies irony, which shows how sincere and generous I am.But Yurong, you took the opportunity to mock me, which really failed my admiration.

In the words, he said how tolerant and kind he was, and how narrow-minded Bei Tangjin was, and he must be punished!

After listening to Bei Tangjin's story, Lu Qingran admired her for thinking of a counterattack in such a short period of time. However, seeing Hua Jianyue's grievance and sincere apologetic voice at this time, it was Jaw-dropping!

It took only a moment for Hua Jianyue to think of a countermeasure against Bei Tangjin's meticulous satire, and at the same time counterattacked Bei Tangjin, saying that she is really narrow-minded and will take revenge!
