Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

Bei Tangyun watched through the bead curtain, admiring in her heart but not daring to get close, she quickly withdrew her gaze, as if one more glance would be a blasphemy to him.

At this time, Qi Bing washed his hands, made some tea again, sent someone to prepare some snacks, and said to Bei Tang Yun: "Miss Bei Tang, use some snacks."

It was an extremely soft voice, but it startled Bei Tangyun, as if someone had been spying on her mind, her cheeks turned red.

Xi Bing only thought that she was tired from dancing practice, and put the refreshments on the small table beside her, and took out a piece from the small saucer, chewing slowly.

"Second sister seems to have gone out." Beitang Yunyu took a piece of rose cake, took a bite, and blinked her moist eyes lightly.

Qi Bing said: "It is said that it is ready to eat. It is almost noon, and the general said that he will eat here."

Bei Tangyun nodded and stopped talking.

The two sat for about an hour, and the exquisitely carved door finally opened.

Bei Tangyun immediately looked over, and saw that it was Bei Tangjin who was approaching, with a half smile on her face, extremely beautiful, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy in her heart.

"The general is back." Qi Bing stood up and bowed his knees to salute. Bei Tangjin waved his hands and said, "There is no need to be too polite, Qingsun. Let's arrange all the dishes. Let's join the table."

Bei Tangjin's smile was extremely easy-going, and the green bamboo shoots were infected, so she also sent people to prepare with a smile on her face.

At this time, Qi Bing saw a few young men dressed as servants coming behind Bei Tangjin, who seemed to be cooks. She couldn't help but frowned, and after ordering food, the cook followed.

The cook was holding an exquisite box containing the dishes in his hand, and he was still amazed when he looked at Bei Tangjin's back.

Thinking of how busy this beautiful woman was in the kitchen, she couldn't get oil on her body, he couldn't help but sigh even more, whoever married such a beautiful woman would be very lucky?

Bei Tangjin didn't know that someone was watching her back thinking so much, she just slowly opened the bead curtain and walked into the inner room.

Her footsteps were very light, because she could see Mei Ningxuan lying on the beauty couch from a distance, with an extremely peaceful and comfortable expression, and a slight smile on her face.

Bei Tangjin approached slowly, and saw him lying there, the sun scattered on his cheeks, and the golden light jumped, making his snow-white cheeks softer.

Bei Tangjin watched quietly.

This man is so handsome.The forehead is so smooth, the eyebrows and eyes are so delicate and picturesque, the skin is so delicate like suet white jade, the black hair is scattered randomly, and the hem of the clothes is also scattered on the ground, so quiet and soft.

"Miss, the meal is ready..." Before Qingsun finished speaking, she saw Bei Tangjin in a silent posture, Qingsun was startled, and then saw the person sleeping on the bed, she lost her mind and soul for a moment, and was completely stunned , eyes infatuated.

Mei Ningxuan heard the voice, opened his eyes slowly, and saw Bei Tangjin standing far away, looking at him with seldom gentle eyes, but quickly lowered his eyes, he heard her say to him: "Brother, the meal is ready. "

The voice was rarely soft, and his heart wave moved slightly.

Bei Tangjin frowned at him and said something, but the man was still lying there, his eyes rippling softly.

But if you look carefully, it seems to be a very shallow gaze. Bei Tangjin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. This person's eyes always give people an extremely unreal illusion. He obviously didn't smile, but he felt as if he was smiling. Smiling at you, obviously there is no tenderness, but it seems to be soft and lingering.

The pair of eyes full of water and affection are so provocative...

She dazed for a moment, Mei Ningxuan had already stood up, straightened her clothes slowly, smiled at her, and said: "Master often talks about your cooking skills, it is really lucky to be able to taste it today."

Bei Tangjin nodded and smiled, and said: "Senior brother is ridiculously praised, prepare a few glasses of dirty wine and a few small dishes, senior brother, don't be disgusted."

The two complimented her a few more times, and then stepped out of the back room. Qingsun was in a state of panic for a long time, and Bei Tangjin looked at Qingsun in amazement, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Qingsun, what's wrong with you?" ?”

Only then did Qingsun return to her place of concentration. Seeing Bei Tangjin's extremely surprised eyes, her cheeks were already flushed. Seeing that she had recovered, Bei Tangjin led Mei Ningxuan to a seat without further investigation.

Mei Ningxuan was a guest, and Bei Tangjin gave him the first seat, and sat next to him, followed by Bei Tangyun and Xi Bing.

Four people sat around a table.

Ever since Xi Bing saw Mei Ningxuan for the first time, there was a fire inside her, and she knew that she was moved, but she knew that a fairy like Mei Ningxuan would not give half of the money. She put her full attention on her, even if she had a heart of admiration, she just thought about it, looked at him from a distance, and never thought that she could eat at the same table with him so close.

However, even so, she didn't dare to look too much, for fear of revealing her humble admiration.

Bei Tangyun didn't expect Bei Tangjin to set up a table to eat, she couldn't help being surprised, but kept her expression on.

On the contrary, Mei Ningxuan looked at those dishes with extremely soft eyes, as if the dishes were his lover, those eyes were extremely gentle.

Bei Tangjin just glanced at him, poured wine for Mei Ningxuan with a smile, and said, "This is the wine made from plum blossoms the year before last, so it must suit the senior brother's taste."

Both of them are people who love plums, and she has always liked this wine.

Mei Ningxuan looked back and forth at the dishes on the table, and said, "You made these dishes?" It was really too rich. He originally thought that Bei Tangjin was just cooking some extremely simple side dishes, but how could he have expected it to be so? So delicate?

Bei Tangjin nodded, smiled very casually, and said, "Senior brother solved a big problem for me, so I must put some thought into it."

Bei Tangyun and Qi Bing were so surprised to hear that they turned their gazes to Bei Tangjin, as if they were imagining what a beauty like Bei Tangjin would look like when cooking.

"Second sister, are you cooking these dishes?" Bei Tangyun said in shock. She looked at the table: walnut cheese, golden cake rolls, red bean paste rolls, fried spring rolls, amber pigeon eggs, slippery quail, springing bamboo shoots , snow lotus ice flower, white jade tofu, radish mandarin fish, sweet and sour fish roll...

Qi Bing was dumbfounded, how could this dish be cooked by a boudoir girl? She remembered that Bei Tangjin went out for an hour, so it was so fast?How did you do it?

"Isn't this speed too fast?" Qi Bing whispered, but the image of Bei Tang Jinyu holding a frying pan appeared in his mind.

But Bei Tangjin smiled and said: "The desserts and cold dishes are all taken along with the water, and these hot dishes are made by me."

When she said that, everyone let go of their shock.

"I'm just talking casually, you actually..." Mei Ningxuan seemed to be happy, but also seemed to feel sorry for Bei Tangjin. After working for a long time, cooking all these dishes took a lot of effort and energy...

Even though she is very strong...

Seeing his remorse, Bei Tangjin couldn't help laughing and said, "It's nothing. In the past, my master always asked me to cook some strange dishes. I thought that these should suit my brother's taste. Since my brother ordered me to cook, You can’t live up to all the effort I’ve put in, can you?”

Mei Ningxuan nodded, and said: "Jin'er is right, I really can't let you down." As he spoke, he had already picked up a piece of radish and was chewing slowly.

When Qi Bing and Bei Tangyun heard about it, they also moved their chopsticks, but they were used to eating these good things, so they didn't feel much. When the hot dishes came in, they felt that the taste was very good, whether it was the heat or the color matching. good.

"Where did you cook these dishes?" Mei Ningxuan suddenly felt that something was wrong with another piece of white jade tofu. If he went to Beitang Mansion to cook these dishes, it shouldn't be so fast, right?

Bei Tangjin smiled and said: "The Fuyue restaurant at the front street is our house. Even though the scale is small, the ingredients in the kitchen are complete."

Mei Ningxuan understood this time, "In this way, your ingredients will be saved..." In the morning, she told him that it is not good to take back the shops left by her mother, since there is no income from money, the ingredients are always... ...account for some...

Bei Tangjin looked embarrassed for a while, her cheeks flushed slightly, and said, "Oh...the main reason is that those cooks can help..."

Bei Tangyun and Qi Bing listened, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong. Since Fuyue Restaurant is owned by the Bei Tang Mansion, it should be right to go in and eat for free, right?

However, they didn't know that the Fuyue Restaurant was actually a dowry brought by Wang Yuanxiang when she married. Therefore, what Mei Ningxuan said was that Bei Tangjin took such a small... advantage.

After eating and resting for a while, Bei Tangyun started to learn dance steps again.

Mei Ningxuan and Bei Tangjin continued to play chess in the back room.

Perhaps she was indeed a little tired, Bei Tangjin was a little sleepy, and fell asleep after playing half of the chess.

When Mei Ningxuan saw this, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "After making such a table of dishes, I think you are exhausted, you should take a nap and relax."

Bei Tangjin frowned, and said, "It's fine, if Senior Brother finds it boring, but..."

Before she finished speaking, she heard Mei Ningxuan say: "It's okay, I'll read some idle books, you go to bed." He said, he had already randomly picked up a book brought by Bei Tangjin from the small coffee table, and went to the beauty Leaning on the couch, he slowly turned the pages, his expression extremely peaceful.

When Bei Tangjin saw her, she smiled and lay down with her clothes on.

Maybe it was because he hadn't worked so hard for a long time, and after a while, Bei Tangjin fell into a deep sleep.

Hearing her breathing, Mei Ningxuan turned his head from the pages of the book and looked at her.

She tilted her head slightly, her jet-black hair was somewhat disheveled, her hands were laid down very neatly, she was so quiet in her sleep, as quiet as a sleeping beauty in a lotus flower.

The afternoon sun was so warm and soft, and it fell on her hair in strands, reflecting an extremely gorgeous light.

She is invisible.

She is so quiet, she is a little less cute and mischievous, and she is no longer so childish.

Mei Ningxuan looked at it for a while, then smiled, very softly, with a slight pampering look.

He moved his eyes to the pages of the book again, and slowly flipped through the pages one by one. This was the book she usually liked.

The incense burner is burning, and there is the sound of crackling charcoal fire, and the sound of string and bamboo orchestra is continuous outside the bead curtain.

But the people inside the bead curtain seemed to be isolated, so quiet.

When Mei Ningxuan raised his head again, he found that her brocade quilt had slipped off. He frowned, then got up and walked slowly over to cover her again.

He moved his fingers cautiously, for fear of startling her, he lifted the quilt up, and his eyes moved to her face again, her eyelashes as thick as a small fan blinked, her nose was as small as carved ivory, and she wrinkled Wrinkled, as if in a dream, so cute.

Mei Ningxuan gave a doting smile, and wanted to reach out to scrape her small nose, but retracted halfway, for fear of alarming her.

The afternoon sun has been shining sparsely, and it is extremely soft on the two of them.

As if she had slept too peacefully, he gradually became sleepy. He covered the book on his face to block the sunlight, and slowly closed his eyes.

In the dream, it seemed to be her light and shallow shadow, so clear and shallow that he couldn't see it clearly when he looked very far.

Shadowy, fluttering clothes, as if she was smiling cutely when her cheeks were dyed red.

The sun was slanting to the west, and Bei Tangjin woke up slowly. She had to touch the teacup out of habit, but it was empty. At this moment, she remembered that she was not listening to Xuege, but in Tianqinglou.

Drowsy, her vision gradually became clear, she got up and took a sip of tea, and found that she had slept too deeply and her neck was slightly hurt, so she reached out and rubbed it.

His gaze scanned the surroundings, and stopped on the young man in snow on the beauty's couch.

The sun was falling, and the person lying quietly was extremely peaceful, as quiet as an ink painting, so beautiful that it was unreal.

The pages of the book covered his face, and he could only see his black hair scattered all over the ground. She looked at the hair and wanted to hold it with her hands, but she felt a chill all over her body again, and saw that he was not covered by the quilt, afraid that he would When he caught a cold, he took the brocade quilt from the bed and covered it with him.

However, when the quilt covered half of his body, the man moved. She paused her fingers in shock, and when she realized that he hadn't moved, she pulled him up again, until it reached his chest.

After covering the quilt, Bei Tangjin breathed a sigh of relief, but when she turned around, the page of the book suddenly fell to the ground with a "snap", revealing the man's handsome face and eyes like the clear shadow of a blue lake. With such a soft gaze, she took a step back in surprise, she didn't notice the things under her feet, she tripped and fell, and her body was about to fall to the ground.

Seeing this, Mei Ningxuan immediately jumped up from the beauty's couch, wrapped her long arms around her waist, and wrapped her in his arms.

Bei Tangjin was stunned for a while, the most embarrassing things she did in this life were overtaken by him...

What was reflected in his startled eyes were his warm eyebrows, soft waves, and affectionate eyes, just like the sunshine in spring, her heart was moved.

There is a soft waist in her arms, and her jade arms... seem to be wrapped around his waist.

Mei Ningxuan smiled softly, and it was only when Bei Tangjin realized that her face turned red from embarrassment...

She pushed him, and then he put her down, shook his head and smiled, as if pampering, Bei Tangjin looked extremely embarrassed, and wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but her throat was stuck, and she couldn't say a word come out.

Mei Ningxuan knew what she wanted, smiled softly, and said, "Thank you Jin'er for this quilt."
