Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

Seeing Bei Tangru's sincere and aggrieved appearance, Wang Yuanxiang finally softened his heart. After all, she was his daughter, so he sighed and said, "Now that Bei Tangjin is back, you two should join forces to fight against the enemy. How can you do that?" What about intrigues all day long? Mother is really worried, before Bei Tangjin makes a move, you will fight with each other and both will lose, and she will definitely benefit from it."

Bei Tangfeng really has no intention of arguing with Bei Tangru. He looks down on Bei Tangru from the bottom of his heart. He hates the timidity and duplicity of the noble lady in her, and even disdains to quarrel with her. If he hadn't been depressed recently , I won’t say a word more!He is like this, and he has a very good self-restraint when he meets such a tricky Bei Tangru.

"My son knew he was wrong. From now on, he will let his sister do everything. Mother, please rest assured." Bei Tangfeng said sincerely, arguing with a woman is indeed not the way of a man, but rather his petty temper.

When Bei Tangru heard Bei Tangfeng say this, she was very displeased. She thought in her heart, why do I need you to let me go, but she said with a very respectful face, "My daughter will never make my brother angry again. Mother, please rest assured."

Seeing that both of them showed great sincerity, Wang Yuanxiang was relieved.

She wanted to inspect her pair of children, so she asked, "What do you think of today's events?"

"Son thinks..."

"Daughter thinks..."

The two looked at each other and both smiled, Bei Tangfeng said: "Sister, please speak first."

Bei Tangru was very modest and said, "Brother should invite you first."

Bei Tangyun had been sitting by the side eating osmanthus cakes, seeing the two being so modest, she couldn't help feeling sick, and wanted to spit out all the osmanthus cakes she swallowed just now.However, she looked up at her mother's knowing smile, and couldn't help shaking her head. Her mother was really deceived by them. She knew Bei Tangru's jealousy best. She never saw anyone better than her.

In the past, their mother once rewarded each of them with a pot of white crabapple. However, because the crabapple she got was very beautiful and beautifully trimmed, which was better than Bei Tangru's, Bei Tangru personally went to her yard to ask for it, and humiliated them She doesn't know how to appreciate it, and it's a waste of good things to want this Bai Haitang, so it's better to give her someone who can appreciate it.

Doesn't she know how to appreciate it?What does Bei Tangru know about her?It's just a trick that can't be put on the table.

As for North Tang Peak?His elder brother has always regarded her as a transparent person, as if there is no sister like her.

"I'm an older brother, so I naturally want to let my younger sister, or younger sister, please speak first." Bei Tangfeng humbly said.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanxiang smiled and said, "They are like a pair of amiable and lovely twins! Since Ah Feng is modest and Aru is the younger sister, let Aru talk first."

The corner of Bei Tangru's mouth twitched with pride, and she thought, look, my mother is still facing me, but her face is extremely humble and respectful, and said: "Aru, thank you brother for your humility."

Bei Tangfeng didn't care at all whether Bei Tangru was sincere or not. Of course, he didn't think Bei Tangru had much sincerity, but after all, she was his younger sister, and it was really not like a man to care about a woman, so he also Don't ask whether Bei Tangru is sincere, just think she is serious, and said with a smile: "Aru, you are welcome, please tell me."

Bei Tangru nodded and said: "My daughter thinks that Bei Tangjin is nothing to be afraid of, but seeing her late return today, she can see that she doesn't understand the rules of the family at all, presumably she didn't ask the mother to teach her at the border, so , My daughter thinks that we can start from this point. And her girl named Su Tao is simply too arrogant, she is really a wild girl from the country, even if we don't take action, Bei Tangjin will be unlucky because of this girl. What's more, after this incident, grandma doesn't like Bei Tangjin even more. Therefore, if Bei Tangjin makes a big mistake again, grandma will probably tolerate it again. Besides, she probably doesn't have time to deal with us. I’m in a hurry to copy the Heart Sutra! I’m afraid I’ve already started copying it now! I can’t finish it in a year or so!” Bei Tangru was smiling when she spoke, her watery eyes curved like crescent moons, extremely Beautiful and moving.

Wang Yuanxiang nodded approvingly upon hearing the words, and was not prepared to express any opinions, then looked at Beitang Peak and said, "What do you think, Ah Feng?"

After hearing this, Bei Tangfeng frowned, and said, "I'm afraid I'm not that optimistic. Not to mention that Bei Tangjin is extremely smart, has a photographic memory, is meticulous, and knows every detail, although he doesn't understand the etiquette of the great clan. , but with her intelligence, she only needs an old nanny who knows the rules to say it once and write it down. Moreover, even if she doesn't understand and makes a mistake, she can still save the day by relying on her own principles. Today's matter is not Is it the best proof?"

"Furthermore, the thorn I planted at my grandmother's place didn't seem to have any effect. Judging from my grandmother's reaction, it seemed that she was somewhat tolerant of Bei Tangjin. The most important thing is not these, but the most important thing. The most important thing is his father's attitude. Bei Tang Jin made great achievements in the border wars, and his father praised him very much. He once said that if the Bei Tang family had this woman at the helm, he would feel at ease. What his father meant was that he was going to The entire Bei Tang family has turned over Bei Tang Jin. As for the Su Tao mentioned by the fourth younger sister, it is indeed a weakness of Bei Tang Jin. This girl has always been rebellious and outspoken, so she can be caught. Make use of it, but Not bad."

After hearing this, Wang Yuanxiang was so shocked that he looked up and down at his son. He is only 12 years old this year. However, such a set of theories can only be thought of by a grown man. Coupled with his serious attitude, confident and high-spirited temperament , high-spirited, well-founded, it really made her want to laugh in her dreams!

"Afeng, you are even more nuanced than my mother thought!" Wang Yuanxiang exclaimed in admiration.

Bei Tangru was shocked at first, and then curled her lips in disapproval. Bei Tangfeng said that Bei Tangjin was too miraculous. Let the mother look at him high and pay more attention to him.As for what his father said about letting Bei Tangjin take the helm, I'm afraid Bei Tangfeng was exaggerating!She didn't believe that Bei Tang Jin was a woman, and her father could let her take the helm of the Bei Tang family, wouldn't that be a mess?It has been a man in charge since ancient times!

"Mother, my son has been with Bei Tangjin for so many years, and she has taught many things in person, so my son admires her very much, admires her very much, and also fears her very much. She is too smart and powerful, which makes people daunting. Dare to be an enemy of her, so ordinary means can't bring her down at all. Today's mother also saw that she didn't understand the rules at all, and she was not punished for angering her grandmother like that, which shows that this person is too adaptable Therefore, we must be careful, if we can’t hit the target with one blow, don’t take it lightly. This is my son’s view on today’s events.”

Bei Tangru said: "The reason why she was not punished today is because Mother Qiu spoke for her. It has nothing to do with her resilience." Acting more realistically, will grandma soften her heart?Grandma was just concerned about the reputation of the Beitang family.

"That's right, you forgot if you didn't remind mother. It was Qiu Momo who spoke for Bei Tangjin. Qiu Momo never speaks for others. How could she speak for Bei Tangjin? Didn't Bei Tangjin yesterday?" Did you come back late? There must be something strange about this!" Wang Yuanxiang said firmly.

However, Bei Tangfeng obviously didn't think so, and said: "Mom, Mother Qiu, I'm afraid it's for the sake of Bei Tang Mansion, not for Bei Tang Jin. It is true that she has lost a boost! Therefore, Madam Qiu is trying to flatter her grandma! What happened today, when grandma recovers, she will reward Madam Qiu heavily, and she will trust her even more And reuse her, this is the brilliance of Qiu Momo, therefore, only Qiu Momo stood beside grandma the longest."

Bei Tangfeng's method of judging people was taught by Bei Tang Jin in the past!But at this time, it was used to deal with Bei Tangjin.

"Ah Feng's analysis is correct. Mother Qiu is indeed better at flattering than others. This method is indeed clever. No wonder she has been able to serve the old lady for so many years!" Wang Yuanxiang agreed very much.

"However, since Bei Tangjin is so difficult to deal with, how should we make a move?" Bei Tangru looked at Bei Tangfeng, she didn't believe him, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Does Aru have any good ideas?" Seeing that Bei Tangru had spoken, Wang Yuanxiang immediately asked.

"My daughter thinks that no matter how difficult Bei Tangjin is to deal with, if both her father and grandmother hate her, she will be alone and helpless, and then she will be easy to deal with. Therefore, for the present plan, we should use grandmother The most hated "plum blossom" and "green bamboo" make a fuss, I think Bei Tang Jin will be caught off guard, if my grandmother hates Bei Tang Jin, even if my father appreciates and likes her, he must obey his grandmother, mother, what do you think?" Bei Tang Ru is very confident in her rhetoric, she feels that Bei Tangfeng's rhetoric is no better than hers.

"Well, it makes sense. Seeing that you are so smart, my mother is relieved." Wang Yuanxiang nodded towards the two of them, and said, "Is it just a specific strategy? Then, the day of the old lady's birthday party must be the best time." gone."

Bei Tangfeng asked in surprise: "Has mother already thought of a countermeasure?"

Bei Tangru proudly said, "Brother, why did you forget that the letter your mother wrote to you that day, you haven't dragged your elder sister to look for blue and white porcelain!"

When Bei Tangfeng heard the words, he finally understood what the two of them meant, and couldn't help but also nodded and smiled.

Early the next morning, Jingxin fasted.

There was only the sound of the collision of prayer beads and the sound of Helian's chanting.

After a while, Helian's voice sounded lukewarm, and asked, "How is that Xuege?"

Qiu Momo respectfully handed the teacup to Helian, and then said: "The little girl who inquired said that the lights in Tingxue Pavilion have not been turned off all night, not only that, but I heard that the second young lady is useless for breakfast, she has been copying scriptures .”

Helianshi heard the words, and said: "This girl is really caring, she should be like this, presumably, even if it is so, you can't finish copying the "Heart Sutra" a thousand times."

Mammy Qiu naturally knew that Helian's deliberately made things difficult for Bei Tangjin, but she didn't know the reason. In her opinion, Helian's should have a certain liking for Bei Tangjin.

"If the second lady can finish copying, it will probably take half a month. The plum blossom seal is really not something that ordinary people can write." Qiu Momo observed Helian's face and said in a low voice.

"It depends on whether this girl has a brain." Helianshi said coldly.

However, Madam Qiu still didn't understand what Helianshi meant.

Shu Yunzhai, Wang Yuanxiang has already called out some nuns and maids, and let Bei Tangjin choose. This is a good opportunity to put eyeliner on Bei Tangjin's side!Many of these people were her confidants, but after hearing what Bei Tangfeng said about Bei Tang Jin's strengths, she was very careful, and only placed half of her confidants, and the other half was not.

She saw Bei Tangjin approaching from afar, she was wearing a crimson brocade robe embroidered with large peony flowers today, she was not wearing anything outside, so she just walked over, her steps were brisk, very casual, graceful Come, like a fairy.

Seeing this, Wang Yuanxiang sighed. After all, he is a martial arts practitioner, even if he is resistant to cold. Today she saw that her Ah Feng was only wearing a robe. She was worried that he would be cold, but the child actually said that he was hot.Even though Bei Tangjin is excellent, in time, she will be replaced by her Ah Feng.Thinking of this, Wang Yuanxiang felt much better.

Bei Tangjin walked up to Wang Yuanxiang, saluted Wang Yuanxiang respectfully and said, "Ah Jin pays respects to mother."

Wang Yuanxiang still had a gentle smirk on his face, helped Bei Tangjin up and said, "Get up quickly, I heard that you didn't sleep last night, and you didn't even have breakfast today. My mother was so worried that she asked the kitchen to cook chicken soup." , I’ll make it up for you, look at you, your face is a bit haggard, go back later, mother will ask Yaqing to bring it to you.”

Even though Bei Tangjin hated Wang Yuanxiang so much, Wang Yuanxiang was her aunt after all. She couldn't disrespect Wang Yuanxiang. Disrespecting her aunt was also unfilial. What's more, verbal attacks were useless. What she wanted was that Wang Yuanxiang's life would be better than death. Her mother forgives.

Therefore, she treated Wang Yuanxiang very respectfully, as if she were her own daughter, and said softly, "Ajin, thank mother for thinking about it. It's freezing cold, mother should also add more clothes."

Wang Yuanxiang really admired Bei Tangjin. She clearly hated herself to the bone, but she was still able to talk to her in such a humble manner. Not only that, her conversation and behavior were quite ladylike, and at the same time, she also had a kind of domineering look at the world. Don't put her in the eyes, her eyes are like looking at her like an ant, even though the attitude is very respectful, but that kind of eyes is really annoying!

However, she, Wang Yuanxiang, was not an ordinary person, and would not argue with him because of this kind of thing. She would use practical actions to repay her arrogance today.

Obviously wishing to kill Bei Tang Jin, but Wang Yuanxiang was still very loving, and said with a smile, "You are a caring child, quickly take a look at the people your mother has prepared for you, and pick the one you like!"

Bei Tangjin still respectfully said: "Thank you mother for your kindness." But after she finished speaking, she never looked at Wang Yuanxiang again, and turned her gaze to the girl standing in the yard. An extremely suffocating sense of oppression.

Everyone looked at Bei Tangjin, and even lowered their heads timidly. They thought that the second lady was a fairy-like figure, but she was too indifferent. Those beautiful eyes were beautiful, but when looking at people, they were so heart-wrenching. Fight, as if you are already a transparent person in front of her.

Bei Tangjin stretched out her finger, pointed at a few at random, looked directly at those people and said, "You, you, you..." A total of two women and six maids were selected.

Wang Yuanxiang didn't expect that Bei Tangjin would choose someone so simply. She thought it would take a lot of trouble, so she couldn't help being stunned. When she found out that many of her confidants had been selected, she was very happy again. Who is Bei Tangjin? Too proud, too overestimating herself, these people were cultivated by her secretly, just waiting for Bei Tangjin to come back and come in handy.

However, Bei Tangjin didn't seem to care very much. All the girls and women who were selected stood up and greeted Bei Tangjin.Bei Tangjin also only glanced at them, and said only one sentence, "Excuse me."

Everyone was stunned. They thought that the second lady would always give a few words to them. After all, she is a general, but the second lady just gave them a light glance and it was over. The speeches they had prepared a long time ago were useless. I can't help but feel a little uncomfortable, as if something is wrong, but when I think about it carefully, I can't think of anything wrong.

After finishing the selection, Bei Tangjin walked up to Wang Yuanxiang and said respectfully, "Mother, Ah Jin has retired."

The matter was settled, Wang Yuanxiang naturally didn't like to see Bei Tangjin's face exactly like An Qingxue's, so he waved his hands and said, "Go."

When Bei Tangjin returned to Tingxue Pavilion, he handed over those women and girls to Qiu Rong, and then he wrote the "Heart Sutra" silently, as if he had forgotten all about it.

Qiurong is also very trouble-free, assigning some things to them is considered over.

In the middle of the night, Qiu Rong served Bei Tangjin some tea, seeing that Bei Tangjin was still very serious and focused on writing the "Heart Sutra" silently, he couldn't help feeling a little distressed.She recalled what Wang Yuanxiang said about Bei Tangjin's haggard words. If she felt like she was really gone, the lady didn't close her eyes all day and night, but she didn't feel haggard at all, and her complexion was extremely good-looking.It is not at all obvious that it is a person who has stayed up all night.

The young lady's physical strength is always so good. During the war at the border, the young lady often stayed up for several days and nights to study the method of cracking it. Seeing the great witch, but even so, Qiu Rong still felt very distressed, and said, "Miss, are you really going to write for three days and three nights? Do you really plan to go and see those people selected today?"

Hearing Qiu Rong's worrying voice, Bei Tangjin raised his head slightly, and continued to write, "There are still many things to be done. Naturally, this scripture must be copied. As for those selected, I think, You should know how to teach, didn’t you do all these things? Why don’t you seem to be confident today?”

In the past, when she was in the General's Mansion, she was indeed the one who took care of these servants, but when she arrived at the Beitang Mansion, could she really control these people well?They are people trained by Wang Yuanxiang!
