Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

Look, this is the effect of adding fuel to the flames. Once Wang Yuanxiang's words came out, it was only a late return, but it was reflected in Bei Tangjin's reckless behavior at the border, disorderly behavior, ignorance of rules, failure to abide by duty, and even uncleanness. Not being filial, all the faults that a lady should not have have all been successfully pinned on Bei Tangjin's head.

Wang Yuanxiang's face was terrified and uneasy, very worried.She glanced at Bei Tangxun, meaning to ask Beitangxun to say something, but Beitangxun shook her head at her, and Helian was angry, the more she tried to dissuade her, the angrier she became.

"This is what you call a good daughter? Look at her, how does she look like a lady from a great family! How can you teach a daughter like a father? How does this look like a child from my Beitang family?" Helian was furious. He didn't catch his breath, his chest was so tight and painful, and when he finished speaking these words, he couldn't stop panting.

Mother Qiu was taken aback, and hurried forward to comfort Helian, and comforted her: "Old Madam, the second miss returned late because of the second miss's negligence, maybe it's the first time this child has come to Dadu, and he has never seen so many of them. Good thing, there are times when you have committed a joke and forgot to go back home. You should calm down! Second Miss is a sensible person, and she will come here to plead guilty to you as soon as she comes back!"

This is sincere consolation. When He Lian heard the words, she thought that Bei Tangjin was very respectful and obedient when she saw her, and she was relieved for a while. , It is indeed unruly, and it also makes her angry. There has never been a lady in the Beitang family who has not returned at this hour!

"Mother, this is all my son's fault, my son's negligence!" Bei Tangxun hurriedly apologized to his mother. He Lian's family is very strict about rules.

He Lianshi was still panting, thinking, when Bei Tangjin comes back, she must let her know what the rules are!This child has been lacking in education since he was a child!

He Lianshi didn't speak, Beitang Xun didn't dare to speak, Wang Yuanxiang, Beitangfeng, Beitangru, Beitangyun all lowered their heads, held their breath, and didn't dare to speak again.

Helianshi was already extremely angry, speaking any more would be like setting fire to himself.

I don't know how long it took before a maid came outside to report, saying: "Old Majesty, Second Miss is here."

Helian said coldly: "She still knows to come back! Let her come in quickly!"

"Yes." The maid answered in a low voice, turned around and left quickly. The atmosphere in the room is really breathless!

The transparent crystal bead curtain made a crisp sound of "jingling", a pair of white jade fingers slowly opened the bead curtain, and looked around.

Wang Yuanxiang, Bei Tangru, and Beitang Yun were all sitting far away from the Helian family, their faces pale, while Bei Tangfeng and Bei Tang Xun were sitting closer, all with ugly faces.

Bei Tangjin had long expected that Wang Yuanxiang would catch him at Guiding tonight, so she was not surprised by such a scene.

However, she looked at Helian's cloudy and sharp eyes, and was a little worried. She was a grandmother who was not easy to persuade, and she didn't like unruly women very much. It seemed that she was in bad luck today.

As soon as Bei Tangjin stepped into the room, she heard Bei Tangxun's scolding voice, saying, "Quickly kneel down!"

When everyone saw Bei Tangjin coming in, they all looked at her, thinking: Helian is so angry today, Bei Tangjin must be peeling off.Bei Tangru is the most beloved lady of the Bei Tang Mansion, but just accidentally broke a teacup of the Helian family, and the Helian family ordered her to kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night, and she was not allowed to eat. When Tang Ru came out, she was already fainted from hunger, and was carried out. Even Wang Yuanxiang didn't dare to visit her daughter, which shows how harsh and ruthless the Helian family is.

Therefore, when Wang Yuanxiang and Bei Tangru looked at Bei Tangjin, they all gloated. Bei Tangjin practiced martial arts since she was a child, and being beaten was nothing, but a young lady was punished for misconduct, and it would be very embarrassing to spread the word. How can this gain a foothold among the famous Shuyuan! ?

Of course Bei Tangjin knew that everyone in the room was laughing at her, so naturally she didn't care. What she cared about was how to calm down this matter.

After hearing Bei Tangxun's words, she walked a few steps quickly, and before the maid put down the cushion, she knelt down in front of Helian with a "plop", her face extremely terrified and uneasy, and she lowered her head deeply, her voice Trembling, he said, "Grandmother, Ah Jin is late! Please punish me, grandma!"

She knelt on the ground with a loud "plop" just now, which shocked everyone in the room, especially the maid who prepared the soft bottom for her, she quickly retracted her hand in shock, looked at Bei Tang Jin in shock, and felt Said: "Second Miss is really bold, kneeling down like this, do you still want your knees?"

Wang Yuanxiang was also taken aback, Bei Tangjin was really cruel to herself!She is trying to alleviate Helian's anger!But is kneeling really useful?Her Aru also knelt down to admit her mistake, but Helianshi didn't even look at her. What's more, Bei Tangjin grew up in the frontier and was very unfamiliar with Helianshi. How could Helianshi be soft-hearted?She knows this mother-in-law too well, her heart is harder than a rock!It was wishful thinking that Bei Tangjin wanted to change Helian's mind by doing this!

It was the first time for Bei Tangfeng to see Bei Tang Jin so terrified. Even though she was framed in front of the imperial court that day, she was still calm and composed. Grandma was angry, which would make her afraid, but she faced Both blood and death don't change their faces!

Bei Tangjin was so terrified, she was clearly acting!

Bei Tang Xun was also stunned, he really didn't expect Bei Tang Jin to kneel so simply, this girl is very proud in her bones!Just now he was planning how he would speak if Bei Tangjin told her!Now this situation is unnecessary!

The sound of Bei Tangjin kneeling just now made He Lianshi stunned, and looked directly at Bei Tangjin. It was the first time that a person had to kneel in front of her so straightforwardly, and with awe-inspiring righteousness, as if he was going to die.

She saw Bei Tangjin's complexion was pale, the lotus walker on her head was still shaking violently because of her too much movement just now, and her hands, which she was trying to hold back, could be seen trembling slightly through the sleeves, which could be seen , the child was already terrified by her anger.Thinking of Bei Tangjin's great military exploits, high martial arts skills, and countless people who died at her hands, she is not afraid of death, but she is very afraid of her grandmother, and Helian's anger has already subsided by three points.

She was pleased by Bei Tangjin's panic, but after all, Bei Tangjin returned late and did not report to her aunt.This has never happened in the Beitang family, so He Lianshi is still angry. She doesn't like people who have no rules!

"What's wrong with you?!" It was no longer panting, Helian's voice was extremely cold, like a cold sword pouring into everyone's ears, making people want to cover their ears!

"A Jin's unfilial behavior worries her grandmother, father, and mother, so please punish her!" No matter the reason, returning home late is a mistake, so you have to admit your mistake and ask for punishment!

Seeing that Bei Tangjin admitted his mistake so sincerely, He Lian said to himself, "This child can still be saved, I know I was wrong."

Helian's voice finally softened a bit, but the voice was still sharp, and said: "You are a lady from a big family, not a girl from the countryside, why don't you even understand this little bit of rules? Do you know how many people your father sent out? Is someone looking for you? You haven’t heard from me at all? Didn’t send someone to report, is it to kill your mother or your father? Or you want to drive me, an old woman, to death before you are willing!” The more she spoke, the faster she spoke, When it came to the end, it was already hard to tell the number.

When Bei Tangfeng heard this, he shook his head. Grandma never scolded others like this. If she made a mistake, she would be punished without even a chance to defend herself.When Bei Tangru was punished, her grandmother didn't even bother to look at her, so she was dragged out. However, when she got to Bei Tangjin's place, why did her grandmother talk so much all of a sudden?

Bei Tangfeng was so sensitive that he sensed something unusual, and before Bei Tang Jin could reply, he immediately said, "Grandmother, my sister already knew her mistake, please forgive her! My sister is an important minister in the court, how could you How do you punish her like this? How will Sister gain a foothold in the court in the future!" He must not let his grandmother calm down like this, even if he wants to put him on the ground, he will bury this thorn in his grandmother's heart!

At this time, Wang Yuanxiang was keenly aware that He Lianshi seemed not to be so angry anymore, so he immediately responded to Bei Tangfeng and said, "Mother, Ah Jin is probably still hungry when she comes back so late! You should let Ah Jin get up for dinner first." Bar!"

When Bei Tangjin heard the words, she secretly shouted that it was terrible. At this time, the more she begged for mercy, the worse her situation would be. What's more, Bei Tangfeng and Wang Yuanxiang were not begging for mercy!

She has tried her best to cover up her strength with the color of fear, making Helian feel that even if Bei Tang Jin is a general and an important court official, she will be terrified in front of her Helian. She respects and fears her very much. Grandmother, but what Wang Yuanxiang and Bei Tangfeng said was to remind Helian that it was because she was a general that Bei Tangjin had the courage to return so late, and she didn't take her grandmother seriously!The apology at this time is just to expose the matter, but there are not many people who are sincere enough to admit their mistakes!

"Whoever intercedes again, I will let him be punished with this unfilial girl!" He Lian suddenly picked up a teacup at hand and smashed it to the ground. It's cheap for her.

By saying this, He Lian seemed to admit that Bei Tang Jin returned home late on purpose, and blamed her for being unfilial.She paused, glanced coldly at Bei Tangjin, and said again: "When you come back so late, what do you want to eat? Go to the ancestral hall and kneel! You don't need to eat! If anyone dares to secretly deliver food, I will interrupt him legs!"

He just said to go to the ancestral hall to kneel, but didn't say how long. It can be seen that he will be severely punished!Only those who have made serious mistakes will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. However, because the Helian family is very harsh and strict, if they make a small mistake, they will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall.

"Also, copy "The Female Ring" five hundred times for me, so as not to forget it again!" Helian said coldly again.

At this time, Bei Tangfeng was relieved. Grandma finally punished Bei Tangjin. As long as she knelt in the ancestral hall, her reputation would be ruined once it was spread. What kind of big mistake did a woman make to kneel in the ancestral hall? ?This is well-known uncleanness and unfilial piety!

A slight smile finally appeared on Bei Tangru's face, she looked at Bei Tangjin with the most disdainful and vicious eyes, and said in her heart: "Even though you, Bei Tangjin, are a general, loved by the emperor, and even more favored by Princess Yongchang, Appreciation, once you kneel in the ancestral hall, this reputation will be gone."

According to common sense, the young lady in the mansion cannot reveal the punishment, but it is different in Wang Yuanxiang and Bei Tangru's place, they can't wait to tell everyone they meet!Of course, they will never use such a stupid method, but use more ingenious means.

Of course, Bei Tangjin knew that once she was punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, someone would catch her for copying "The Female Precepts".However, Helian's has already said that the final punishment can never be taken back. In order to preserve his reputation, he needs to find another way.

Bei Tangjin kowtowed deeply, his voice was extremely respectful, and his expression of fear remained undiminished, he said: "Ajin thanked grandma for her generosity, and couldn't bear to punish Ajin severely, but Ajin herself was willing to ask for punishment, and begged grandma to help her!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked, and they all looked at Bei Tangjin in extreme shock, only to see that her head was bowed deeply, her face was pale, but, is this really fear and fear? This is clearly...

Where is there a self-incrimination?And just returning late, such punishment is already very heavy!

He Lianshi looked at Bei Tangjin who was devoutly worshiping in front of her in disbelief, thinking that her ears had misheard, and asked, "What kind of punishment do you want?"

With a firm voice, Bei Tangjin said, "Ah Jin would like to ask for five hundred rulers to warn against today's mistakes!"

Asking for a fine is enough to shock everyone, five hundred rulers!Everyone in the room thought they had heard it wrong. If they went down fifty precepts, their hands would be smashed to pieces. Bei Tangjin would be under five hundred precepts, so would his hands still be able to survive?Isn't it going to be mashed?

Not to mention how important a woman's hands are, how ugly it would be if a pair of hands were smashed and left with scars!

Everyone thought that Bei Tangjin was either crazy or had something wrong with her head, but she herself was extremely determined. When everyone was shocked and silent, she said again: "Grandmother, please don't take pity on me! Since Ajin has already made a mistake, please be punished by grandma." Ah Jin can afford these five hundred rulers!"

After being shocked, Wang Yuanxiang really wanted to laugh out loud, Bei Tangjin must be stupid, with five hundred rulers, one of his hands is useless, not to mention playing the piano, even eating has to be done for him.Moreover, the Beitang family is a general, and their hands hold swords. If these hands are destroyed, her life will also be destroyed. She is self-destructing her future, so don't blame her!

Bei Tangfeng's eyes widened. He stared straight at Bei Tangjin, trying to see through this person's heart. Will she be punished?Five hundred rulers, even though Bei Tangjin is a master of martial arts, I'm afraid she can't bear it!Does she really have to accept the five hundred precepts?

"Ajin, are you crazy? With five hundred rulers, your hands will be useless. How will you hold a sword in the future? How will you make achievements? How will you marry someone!" Bei Tangxun was afraid that his mother would agree to Bei Tangjin, and immediately said At this time, he also didn't know if his daughter was scared stupid by Helianshi, or if she did it on purpose, but five hundred rulers are not enough!

When Bei Tangjin heard Bei Tangxun's dissuasion, his heart became even colder. His father didn't feel sorry for her that she would be hurt after receiving five hundred rulers, but what he was thinking about was that she would become a waste in the future and could not pave the way for his future official career. up!

When Qiu Momo saw Bei Tangjin for the first time, she felt that although the second young lady looked indifferent on the surface, she treated the old lady with great care. From the blue and white porcelain tea set she gave You can see it.

The second young lady is far away at the border, and has never had sex at the old matriarch's knees, and she doesn't understand the old matriarch's preferences at all. However, the tea set she gave is elegant and generous, which is exactly what the old matriarch likes. It also came from the Tang kiln of the previous dynasty, which made the old lady love it even more. It was accidental that it was aimed at the old lady's preferences once, so everything was in line with the old lady's wishes. I am afraid that the second lady was far away at the border. I have ordered people to carefully inquire about the preferences of the old lady, so I carefully selected this set of blue and white porcelain tea sets!And the delivery was just right, making up for the regret and reluctance of the old lady because of the smashed purple clay pot, this is the real exquisite mind!

Therefore, even if the old lady doesn't like to be pleaded for mercy, she took the risk and said: "Old lady, the second lady will be careful about the mistakes she made this time without hesitating to use her own hands. It can be seen that the second lady is really serious. I know I was wrong, and I hope you will forgive me. If you really agree with Second Miss in this way, don’t you really admit the name of Second Miss’s unfilial piety? Second Miss is an official of the imperial court. If you say it, won't Second Miss' reputation and future be ruined?"

Of course, Mother Qiu knew that Wang Yuanxiang was not really kind to Bei Tang Jin. Moreover, if something like this happened today, if it got out, the Second Miss and the Bei Tang House would be criticized.

He Lianshi was shocked by Bei Tangjin's five hundred rulers just now, but at this moment, she finally came to her senses when she heard what Qiu Momo said. She was indeed out of breath today, but she forgot that once Bei Tangjin Kneeling in the ancestral hall and accepting the ruler is really spread, which is indeed bad for the reputation of the Beitang family. Besides, Beitang Jin is a hot figure at this time. It was widely known that even if she really wanted to punish Bei Tangjin, she should avoid the limelight.

When thinking about all this clearly, Helian sighed deeply, but still said in a cold voice: "You have broken the rules by not reporting to your aunt when you came home late today. The reason why I didn't punish you today is because It's because you know you're wrong, and secondly, it's for the sake of the reputation of the Beitang family. It's not that you don't want to bear the five hundred feet. You can make a note of it. If you weren't on the cusp of the crisis, I would never show mercy of!"

He Lianshi scolded fiercely, but in fact she had calmed down a long time ago. She has calmed down since Bei Tangjin asked for five hundred rulers. She never thought that this girl would pay so much attention to this mistake, so caring, and she would not hesitate to suffer five hundred feet. A hundred rulers are used as a warning, but she is an elder after all, so naturally she can't give them a good face, so as not to make mistakes again.

Hearing this, Bei Tangjin finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this room, no one spoke for her, and no one reminded Helian that the Beitang family was on the cusp at this time. Once she, Bei Tangjin, was really punished, Everyone was staring at Beitang's house at this time. Once there was a disturbance, it would be easy to be caught. Besides, she Beitang Jin was not an ordinary person. The name of unfilial piety will be impeached by the officials, which is very detrimental to the Northern Tang family.

No one spoke for her, and she couldn't remind Helian herself, she could only come up with this method that shocked Helian, reminding her that the ruin of her hand was the same result as the ruin of her reputation. It was a huge loss for the Tang family. Similarly, she was able to say such a thing, which also showed that she really admitted her mistake and was very firm.

She was betting, betting on whether Helianshi could figure out this level, after all, her reminder was very cryptic, but what she didn't expect was that Mammy Qiu actually spoke for her.And so earnestly, this is risking being hated by the Helian family!How could she help her?
