Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

Early in the morning, Bei Tangjin went to Helian's to say hello.

A few days ago, the Helian family reprimanded Bei Tangjin, saying that she didn't understand etiquette, and that she didn't go to An's house to visit her grandmother, which was really unfilial.Bei Tangjin admitted his mistake, asked for a fine, and copied Buddhist scriptures.

Seeing that Bei Tangjin lifted the curtain and came in, Helian's face was respectful, and she walked slowly, very dignified and well-behaved, so she didn't plan to reprimand her any more.

Bei Tangjin saluted, and Helianshi asked the maid to pour tea for her. Beitangjin drank slowly, waiting for Helianshi to speak.

However, for a long while, Helian just closed his eyes, chanting Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, and the only sound in the sandalwood fragrance was the rolling sound of Buddhist beads.

Bei Tangjin had a reserved look on her face, especially as she sat quietly, without arrogance or impetuosity, she was able to hold her breath.

After about half a cup of tea, Helianshi opened his eyes, glanced at Bei Tangjin with sharp eyes, and said, "Bring the Buddhist scriptures here."

Bei Tangjin immediately stood up to respect the blessed body, and said: "Yes." After she finished speaking, she knelt respectfully in front of Helian, lowered her head and raised her arms, and held up the copied Buddhist scriptures in respect.

Seeing her smooth movements and natural graceful beauty, Helian could not help but nodded, and said: "Although your grandmother is a gentle person, you are still a junior, so you must be polite and thoughtful in every way, and you must not be the slightest Mistake, if someone finds out where the mistake is, you don't have to come to see me again! Do you understand?"

The Beitang family held their breath, lowered their heads slightly, and replied respectfully: "Grandmother, please rest assured, Ah Jin must be careful in her words and deeds, and don't let anyone find fault."

Only then did Helian nodded, and said, "Okay, you can go."

Bei Tangjin got up slowly, stepped back respectfully, blessed her body, and said, "Yes."

As soon as the lettuce came out, he took a deep breath and said in his heart: Amitabha, my God, I almost suffocated in it, such an errand is really terrible.

Even though she followed Bei Tangjin to Helian's place many times, she was unbearably depressed every time, standing inside, feeling the urge to escape.Especially the look in the old lady's eyes, it's really scary.

She followed Bei Tangjin in small steps, walking extremely fast, but even so, she couldn't keep up with Bei Tangjin's pace. The nuns behind her were only panting.

Bei Tangjin was walking ahead, and had already heard the panting of the maids and women, but she ignored it and continued walking with big strides.

Bei Tangjin didn't stop until she reached a secluded place, and then turned her head to look at the people she brought.

She has a habit of paying attention to whoever or what is expensive.Therefore, she usually only takes one girl with her when she goes out, but the person she is going to meet today is her grandmother, so it is inappropriate for her to bring less people.

She is a young lady of a big family and the eldest daughter of the first wife. There are no less than [-] people serving in the room. Except for the ones brought out from the general's mansion, Wang Yuanxiang added them to her successively. This time she went The Xuanninghou Mansion must bring at least two nuns and four maids.

The so-called many people and many things, although she believes in Qiu Rong, but at this time, she will still say a few words to avoid any trouble.

Seeing her young lady stop, the girls lowered their heads slightly, waiting for her to speak.On weekdays, this is how Qiu Rong taught her. When a young lady wants to speak, she should lower her head slightly and show a respectful attitude. If not, the young lady is displeased and punished, then don't blame her for not reminding her.

Although they have been listening to Xuege for so long, they hardly ever talk to their young lady. If they have something to do, they can just go to Qiurong directly. It is rare to see the young lady's face.Moreover, their young lady seldom speaks, and even when she speaks, they are extremely concise. Therefore, they have not figured out this young lady's temper until now.However, just looking at Qiurong also knows a thing or two.

Qiurong is a formidable person, she always has a smiling face when talking to people, and she is smooth and sophisticated in handling things, which makes them the old people admire, therefore, Qiurong is so powerful, let alone this young lady?

Bei Tangjin only glanced at these people briefly, seeing their extremely respectful faces, she felt relieved, but she was used to being cautious, so she mentioned these people again: "I know you are usually capable People, otherwise you wouldn’t stand in front of me. I think you all know how much the old lady and the master value today’s visit. Therefore, nothing will go wrong today. If you lose the face of the Beitang Mansion, you also know this. Consequences. Of course, you don’t have to be too nervous, Xuanninghou’s mansion is not a den of tigers and wolves, so just look at me in everything and play by ear.”

After hearing Bei Tangjin's words, the mothers-in-law and girls were very vigilant and gentle, so they all responded loudly.

Bei Tangjin nodded and walked towards the door.

Bei Tang Xun had already sat in the sedan chair, and when he heard her coming, he immediately called her over to question her, and said, "Did your grandmother mention you again?"

Bei Tangjin nodded, and said: "Grandmother reminds her daughter to act according to etiquette, and she must not be neglected."

Bei Tang Xun was taken aback, his mother didn't make things difficult for Bei Tang Jin any more, which made him a little surprised, but since there was nothing wrong, he didn't have to worry, so he said, "Get on the sedan chair, let's set off."

Bei Tangjin said respectfully, "Yes."

Bei Tangjin had already handed over the post when she came this time, so when the sedan chair of the Beitang mansion arrived, someone specially assigned to greet her, and then led Bei Tangjin to the inner hall.

After all, Xuanning Hou Mansion is a Hou Mansion, with pavilions, pavilions, rockery and waterside pavilions. The scenery in the garden is much more exquisite than that of Beitang Mansion.

Bei Tang Xun took a look around, feeling a lot of emotion in his heart, thinking that he hadn't visited the door for more than ten years, he wondered if he would go back in a hurry after seeing him today.

After all, he was indeed sorry for Qingxue.

Bei Tangjin was very familiar with the scenery of Xuanninghou Mansion. She walked slowly with the butler, without saying a word, with a calm expression on her face. The butler looked at her several times, and couldn't help admiring and liking her.

He is the old housekeeper of Xuan Ninghou. He watched Miss San grow up in his early years, so Miss San passed away and left her only flesh and blood. He was extremely worried about the situation of this child. She has grown up to such a big age, yet she is such a beautiful woman, she is also a military exploit, she is also liked by the emperor and empress, and she is regarded as a confidant by Princess Yongchang. A hundred times, why not make people happy?

However, happy to be happy, this girl has been here for such a long time, but she has never visited the house once, the old lady has been thinking about it all the time, and she is almost chilling.I kept muttering in my heart, could it be that this granddaughter disliked the revelation of the Hou Mansion and refused to see her old woman?He was also worried, but at this moment, seeing that the child was polite and decent in every way, without any trace of pride, he felt relieved.

Bei Tangjin naturally knew the old housekeeper, but she only got to know him when she was fifteen or sixteen years old in her previous life. Therefore, at this time, naturally her eyes should not be too hot, which would attract suspicion.

When Bei Tangjin was brought to Mrs. Zhou's place, her two aunts and several younger sisters were sitting in the room. She glanced at them quietly, and saw that their expressions were not good-looking. Bei Tangjin Knowing that things were not going well today, she still kept her composure and went to visit her grandmother first.

Bei Tang Xun also greeted Mrs. Zhou, Mrs. Zhou only glanced at Bei Tang Xun, and said, "Go to the boss's study, he is waiting for you."

Bei Tangxun said yes, and then stepped back, while Bei Tangjin stood aside, the old lady Zhou looked a little happy, and waved to Bei Tangjin again, saying: "Ajin, Come over to grandma, let grandma take a good look at it."

Bei Tangjin nodded in agreement, and walked up to Old Madam Zhou with great respect, eyes lowered, not too fiery, not cold, not restrained, very respectful, but also very well-behaved, Mrs. Zhou saw, Very happy, said: "Okay, okay, Ah Jin looks so beautiful, just like your mother when she was young."

Mrs. Zhou looked up for a while, then said: "Your mother abandoned you back then and forced your father to take you to the border. I am really incompetent, and I am from the Beitang family. If you don't come here, you After so many years of suffering at the border, do you blame grandma?" The old lady Zhou wiped her tears with a handkerchief and choked up as she spoke.

Bei Tangjin has excellent concentration and excellent patience. For so many years, she has been a ninja. No matter how hard it is, she has never shed tears. But after hearing Mrs. Zhou's words, her nose was a little sore. The eyes are also sore.

However, she held back after all, knelt down in front of Taijun Zhou Lai with a "plop", and said, "Ah Jin is ignorant, and she didn't come to see grandma until today, which made grandma worry." Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears.

Mrs. Zhou saw her kneeling down, tears fell more fiercely, and said: "Silly boy, what are you doing? Get up, it's cold on the ground." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly went to help Bei Tang Jin.The maids on the left and right also hurried over to help, and Bei Tangjin stood up.

At this time, Bai persuaded: "Mother, isn't Ah Jin standing here right now? She's so well-behaved, so don't be sad."

Hu also persuaded: "Mother, Ah Jin is a sensible person, don't be sad, lest this child cry with you."

Mrs. Zhou got better now, and while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she said, "Come on, Ah Jin, quickly sit with grandma."

But Bei Tangjin said: "Grandmother, Ah Jin hasn't visited her first aunt and second aunt yet, so she dare not sit down."

"Look at me, an old lady, I forgot to introduce you." She stood up, pointed at Bai Shi and Hu Shi, and said, "This is your first aunt, and that is your second aunt."

Bei Tangjin met them one by one.

The Bai clan originally had some prejudice against Bei Tangjin, seeing her being so respectful and well-mannered now, she has less prejudice against her, but she still doesn't like Bei Tangjin, the Hu clan has always had a relationship with the Bai clan Excellent, seeing Bei Tangjin being so well-behaved, and thinking of the rumors about her outside, she knew that what she did was just out of etiquette.Even though she is well-behaved, she doesn't show closeness, so this girl probably did this because she was afraid of losing the face of the Beitang Mansion.

She is indeed a very smart girl.

Mrs. Zhou was happy to see Bei Tangjin everywhere, she pointed to the three young ladies standing aside and said, "You guys should come here soon and see your sister."

The three young ladies agreed with great respect. They stood aside and looked at the cousin whom they hadn't seen for many years. They were not overjoyed, and paid their respects according to the etiquette taught by their mother.

Bei Tangjin smiled slightly, looked at her three younger sisters, and sat down with Mrs. Zhou before saying much.

Her three younger sisters obviously had a prejudice against her, and it was useless for her to talk more at this time, so she was not enthusiastic.

Mrs. Zhou also noticed it, but she didn't say anything, she just knew it in her heart, and she pulled Bei Tangjin and asked, "Talk to grandma, how have you spent all these years at the border?"

Bei Tangjin said in a calm voice: "In the first few years, I didn't stay at the border, but learned martial arts and the art of war with my master, and lived a very clean life. Later, I went to the border to practice martial arts and soldiers every day, and then I came here. Thinking back , it’s quite fulfilling.”

The ten years of suffering at the border was so lightly said by her.

Everyone thought she was complaining a lot, but they didn't expect to say it so lightly.

They are a family of princes, how could they not know the suffering at the border?It is very difficult for a boy to go, let alone a woman?But seeing her speaking in such a normal tone, how could she not be shocked?

Mrs. Zhou held Bei Tangjin's hand and said, "You are a sensible child. You are afraid of your grandmother's sadness. That's why you said that? What a silly child!"

Bei Tangjin shook her head and said: "The border crossing is indeed bitter, but once I get used to it, I feel nothing." When she was speaking, she slowly held Mrs. Zhou's hand, smiled very softly, and said, "Look Look, isn't Ah Jin very good? After so many years of experience, Ah Jin has gained a lot of knowledge and can finally protect herself, why are you sad instead?" Seeing that Mrs. Zhou was so sad, Bei Tangjin couldn't bear it. She couldn't help but say a few words of comfort, even though these few words sounded so abrupt to what she had said before, she couldn't help but say it.

Bai Shi and Hu Shi looked at each other when they heard this, shook their heads, continued to drink tea without interrupting.

Obviously, the reason why Bei Tangjin said this was just to please the old lady. After all, they have settled down in the royal family and become more and more famous. Such a smart person as Bei Tangjin, this time came for this purpose. .

Mrs. Zhou was moved again when she heard what Bei Tangjin said. She dragged Bei Tangjin and talked for a long time. It was not until noon that she asked someone to set up a meal. They ate the meal together. She talked for a while, and Fang sent her back.

Bei Tangxun just exchanged a few polite words with Xuan Ninghou, and did not say anything substantive. Xuan Ninghou is also a smart person, and he knows that he is not conspiring with someone like Bei Tangxun, so entertaining him is just to see It's just because the two families are in-laws.

On the way back, Bei Tangjin couldn't help shaking her head thinking about the way Bai and Hu looked at her.

The reason why the two aunts Hu and Bai didn't speak was because they were afraid of spoiling her grandmother's interest and hurting the old man's heart. If they met alone, these two aunts would not be polite to her.

Bei Tangjin thought for a while, smiled wryly, and thought: There is nothing wrong with this, it shows that she is indeed not close to Xuanninghou's residence.

A few more days passed in the peaceful days, and it wasn't until Feng Chen came back on the eighth day of the first lunar month that Bei Tangjin started to get busy, getting ready for everything.

Feng Chen came back, and the other princes also came back.

In her previous life, Bei Tangjin kept checking where these princes went, but she never found out clearly. In this life too, she asked people to follow Feng Chen early, and she also lost them. It can be seen that these princes really went did a very secret thing.

When Bei Tangjin saw Feng Chen, he found that his whole temperament had changed a lot, from the original refined and bookish air to sharp edges and corners, and she even felt that Feng Chen's whole body was a little more hostile.

Feng Chen was not afraid of her at all, and the first thing he said when he saw her was sarcasm: "The first thing I heard when I went back to Dadu was about you, and the second thing was about you. Bei Tangjin, you You are really capable. Even Duke Wei's strict strategy can be broken by you. It's really amazing. I heard that you are still talking about Confucianism, and even the adults in the capital agree with your statement, so you dismissed these speech officials Except! You are much more powerful than I imagined! Tell me, do I have to be proud to be in the same league as you, a famous man in Dadu?"

Feng Chen's tone was yin and yang, and his voice was arrogant and rude. Bei Tang Jin looked at the other party in surprise, and even felt that the person in front of her was not Feng Chen.

Facing Bei Tang Jin's surprise, Feng Chen didn't feel that he was going too far, but felt much happier. He knew that he shouldn't talk to this vicious woman like this, but he just couldn't help it.

Bei Tangjin was still so strange that he looked Feng Chen up and down for a long time, and then asked: "Is Your Highness the Ninth Prince agitated? Or are you dissatisfied with me?"

"Where do I have the guts to be dissatisfied with you, Bei Tang Jin? I respect you! I admire you!" Feng Chen said sarcastically.

Bei Tangjin was puzzled for a while, why did Feng Chen mock her?How funny!However, she didn't care much about these things, so she went straight to the point and said: "Since you have heard about it, you must also know that Qin Tianjian has been imprisoned and will be interrogated by the three divisions in a few days. Therefore, you must take care of Qin Tianjian within this period of time!"

When Feng Chen heard this, he sneered and said, "Aren't you very capable? Why do you need me to do this?"

Just now, no matter how much Feng Chen satirized her, Bei Tang Jin could bear it if it didn't involve interests, but at this time, Feng Chen's words were clearly against her, so Bei Tang Jin's complexion immediately changed, and he asked coldly: " What does His Highness the Ninth Prince mean? Don’t you think it’s too late if you want to cancel the covenant now and regret it?” She had to remind this person that to recognize the facts, he must do what she said in order to survive!

Feng Chen was also annoyed for a while, and said: "Yeah, I just regret it, and want to cancel the covenant, how about it?"

Bei Tang Jin stared at Feng Chen for a long time, and then said: "If that's the case, then don't blame me for being cruel!" She said, she had already stood up, and walked away.

"Bei Tangjin, are you so ruthless? Are you going to do it?" Looking at Bei Tangjin's back, Feng Chen roared unwillingly.
