Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

The shadow of the moon is slanting, the dark fragrance is floating, the red plums are like clouds, and the beauties are like jade.

In the plum forest of Tingxue Pavilion, there are two graceful figures standing, one in fluttering snow clothes, one in red clothes wrapped in snow, one calm and solemn, one slutty and lazy, one snowy and beautiful, and the other charming and enchanting.

"It will be your grandmother's birthday in two days. People from the Marquis of Xuanning will definitely come. Oh, by the way, Ajin has been here for half a month, but she has never paid a visit to Mrs. Zhou. I think you This grandma must have hated you so badly. Your mother was a daughter of the An family, and Mrs. Zhou loved her in every possible way. Even when you went to the border when you were young, this old lady didn't worry less. If you don't visit her, it will hurt her heart!"

Every time the woman in red said a word, she looked at the woman in snow, trying to see the changes in her face clearly, never letting go of even a wrinkle.

However, the woman in front of her still had a face of ice and snow, and she didn't even look at her.

The woman in snow was Bei Tangjin. She was flustered after hearing Xia Sha's words just now, but she covered up this slight change with her usual face.

Xia Sha has only been here for a few days, and she has a clear understanding of the Xuanninghou Mansion and the time back then. Moreover, today she came here specially to talk to her. Xia Sha always has a smile on her face and a cold heart. Advising her to go see her grandmother?But there are other purposes!

The reason why she didn't go to visit these days is because she didn't want the Marquis of Xuanning's mansion to be involved. If grandma and uncle have any good or bad, how can she be worthy of her mother's spirit in heaven?

However, the more she tried to avoid it, someone would bring it up.

"When did you care about my affairs so much?" Bei Tangjin sneered suddenly, and said again: "This matter seems to have nothing to do with you!"

Xia Sha raised her eyebrows, she knew that Bei Tangjin would be angry, but she felt a little bit wronged, and said, "It's just a casual talk, you don't take it to heart, just spoil my good intentions, that's all, why bother?" How can you hurt my heart by uttering such harsh words?"

But Bei Tangjin smiled coldly, eyes like ice lakes flashed a cold light, and said with a sneer, "You actually have good intentions? Since you are so wronged and say that I have wronged you, then take out your heart and show it to me." , it is true and sincere, or wolf-hearted!"

Seeing her appearance like this, Xia Sha smiled "puchi", pulled out the dagger from her waist, handed it to Bei Tangjin, and said, "If you want to see it, use this dagger to dig here!" She said as she spoke. Pointing to his chest, he looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

Seeing the weird smile on Xia Sha's mouth, Bei Tangjin snorted coldly and walked away!If it wasn't for the face of the master, she wouldn't need to be threatened by this person long ago!

Seeing Bei Tangjin walk away in a huff, Xia Sha hurriedly chased after him, smiling coquettishly like a flower, and teasingly said: "Look at you, you have a knife mouth and a tofu heart, you are reluctant to kill me!" Xia Sha went cheekily. Bei Tangjin leaned forward.

Bei Tangjin snorted coldly, and said: "If you have nothing else to say, you can go, so as not to spoil the scenery of my garden!"

A thin layer of anger floated on Xia Sha's face, and she said, "You actually want to drive me away? Hmph! Are you superior or inferior? In terms of entering the school sooner or later, I am your senior sister, older than you. , I am a princess of a country, and you are a subject, so you should salute to me, but you, look at you, have you ever respected and respected me?"

Bei Tangjin thought it was funny, and thought, as a senior sister, how can you have the kindness and kindness that an elder should have?As a princess, where is the dignity and elegance that a princess of a country should have?

"It turned out to be Her Royal Highness, and it was Yurong who was rude just now. It's just that it's unreasonable for the princess to visit in the middle of the night!" You said I was rude, how about you?

Seeing that she was really annoyed, Xia Sha immediately apologized, and said, "Okay, I was just joking, why should Ah Jin take it seriously? Besides, why have I ever asked you to salute?"

Bei Tangjin hated her way of crying and laughing, sad, happy, angry, and apologetic.

"I'm tired. If you have nothing else to do, you should go." Bei Tangjin said calmly, but she didn't give the other party a look.

"Look at you, why are you treating me so coldly?" Xia Sha said a little aggrieved.

Bei Tangjin turned her face away, too lazy to look at her face, she thought to herself, the left and right are just enemies, they can't be reversed, why should she wrong herself and make a fool of herself?

"Just tell me if you have something to say, I don't have the time to blow the cold wind with you here!" Bei Tangjin's voice became a little colder.

Xia Sha sighed deeply, and said, "That's all, you should rest earlier, hey, have pity on my hard work!"

Bei Tangjin didn't believe that Xia Sha would be sad because of this. Before the other party finished speaking, she lifted the corner of her robe and left.

Xia Sha didn't expect that Bei Tangjin would really leave, and sighed, "He's really gone! How heartless!"

Bei Tangjin heard her voice from a distance, and thought: If she has no conscience, she will be thrown into the Hanyan Lake to feed the carp that day!

Even though Xia Sha just mentioned Xuanninghou Mansion lightly, Bei Tangjin was still extremely worried and anxious, as if she was about to lose the most precious thing.

If Xia Sha came at her, she would fight to the death, but if she attacked the Xuanning Hou Mansion, what would she do?

Early the next morning, after finishing court, Bei Tang Jin went to Bei Tang Xun's study in person and told about Su Tao's marriage to Zang Feng.Whether Su Tao marries or not, he has to learn the rules, but since he has learned the rules, he has to tell his father about it. He is also Bei Tang Xun's subordinate.

When Bei Tang Xun heard this, he said, "My father has already heard your mother mention this matter, which is a good thing, but I don't know where Zangfeng is..." After all, Su Tao was born as a maidservant, married to a general, her status seems to be somewhat... …

But Bei Tang Jin said: "It's not difficult at all. My father accepted Su Tao as a foster daughter. Isn't that a joy? When the time comes, the Bei Tang Mansion will have a bright face, and the collectors will also have a bright face." .”

"This is indeed a good idea, but your marriage has not been settled yet, and Su Tao's marriage should be later."

"My daughter thinks the same way. It's just that it's good to book this marriage, so as not to be preempted by others, right?"

Bei Tang Xun nodded and agreed to the matter.

While the two were talking, Wang Yuanxiang came in with a smile. When he saw Bei Tangjin, his smile became more loving, and he said, "So Ah Jin is here too. I was just about to talk to your father about Su Tao's marriage!"

Bei Tangjin bowed her knees and saluted, and said with a smile: "Mother has been working on my grandmother's birthday recently, and she is very tired. Su Tao's affairs still bother her. Ah Jin really feels ashamed!"

Wang Yuanxiang smiled and said, "You are the pride of the Beitang family, and mother should worry about you."

Bei Tang Xun was originally worried that Wang Yuanxiang would treat Bei Tang Jin harshly, but seeing these two people, one was loving and considerate, the other respectful and filial, he felt extremely relieved.

"Ah Jin and I just said that after the old matriarch's birthday, we will accept Su Tao as a righteous daughter, so as to win some face for the Beitang family." Beitang Xun told Wang Yuanxiang what he said just now.

Wang Yuanxiang originally had a smile on his face, but when he heard about this, his face froze. An impolite girl would want to be the adopted daughter of the Beitang family, how cheap she is!

"This... I'm afraid it's not good. After all, Su Tao is just a maid. Is the master's decision rash?"

But Bei Tang Xun said: "Su Tao is a girl with high martial arts skills. She is also the daughter of a good family, but she has been following Ah Jin all the time. Besides, she has helped Ah Jin a lot over the years. A piece of mind."

Wang Yuanxiang didn't expect that Bei Tang Xun would be so optimistic about Su Tao, he couldn't help being surprised, a little maid deserves so much attention from the master?He couldn't even listen to her words!

"What the master said is that Su Tao followed Ah Jin through life and death, and our Beitang family will definitely not treat her badly. It's just that with my mother, I'm afraid it's..."

Bei Tang Xun said: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll go talk to my mother, you just prepare the dowry and Geng Tie, when this matter is settled, the collector will also send a matchmaker."

Bei Tang Xun had already mentioned this point, Wang Yuanxiang naturally couldn't say anything more, but said: "Since the master agrees, then I will go down and do it myself." She said respectfully, but her heart was bleeding. Prepare a girl's dowry, but now it's time to prepare a young lady's dowry!

"Ajin, thank you for your mother's trouble." Bei Tangjin smiled meekly, which made Wang Yuanxiang even more uncomfortable, but how could she be disrespectful in front of Bei Tangxun?So he said with a smile: "Ah Jin is outrageous for saying that. I am your mother, so I should worry about Ajin."

After Bei Tangjin went back to Tingxue Pavilion, he invited Zang Feng as a general, but said politely: "General Zang Feng is now at the age of marriage, is there anyone in the family who looks good?"

Zang Feng originally thought that Bei Tang Jin invited him to come to discuss some court affairs, but he didn't expect it to be his marriage. Not considered."

Bei Tangjin knew that Zang Feng's father died young, and it was his mother Wen's who raised him.The Tibetan family has declined, and it is already very good to be a general in Zangfeng's generation.

"So that's how it is." When she was speaking, she had told Su Tao to come over. Su Tao was listening outside, but at this moment she was feeling uneasy. As if something was wrong with her, her snow-white cheeks were already dyed bright red, she bowed her head shyly, waiting for Bei Tangjin to speak.

Looking at her face, Bei Tangjin knew why she was like this, and said with a smile, "Go and get those two thousand-year-old ginsengs from the small warehouse."

Hearing this, Su Tao hurried to go. Zang Feng didn't know why Bei Tang Jin suddenly took out ginseng, so he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Bei Tangjin smiled and said, "These two ginsengs are all my favors. You know, I am not suitable to visit them in person, so you should take this ginseng back."

Bei Tangjin is a lady in her boudoir, so it is extremely reluctant to invite Zang Feng today. Besides, even though Zang Feng is Bei Tang Xun's subordinate, the Zang family has no relationship with Bei Tang's family, so it would be even more abrupt for her to go. Zang Feng knew this, but, giving two thousand-year-old ginseng, this gift is really too expensive!

"General Yurong, I dare not accept this gift at the end, you still..." He was clumsy and didn't know how to refuse.

But Bei Tangjin smiled and said: "You have lived and died with me for several years, so it is right to give such a gift. If you don't accept it today, I will lose my manners."

Zang Feng couldn't argue with Bei Tang Jin, so he had no choice but to accept it.

Bei Tangjin said again: "Since the family is still selected, I can be a matchmaker. There is a younger sister in my family who admires the general's bravery and invincibility. I don't know what the general wants?"

When Zang Feng heard that it was a young lady from the Beitang family, he couldn't help being shocked and said: "Zang Feng dare not climb high!"

Bei Tangjin smiled "puchi" and said: "What are you talking about? She is my father's adopted daughter. If you are willing, you can book this matter once the old matriarch's birthday is over. Home is also in-laws!"

"This..." Although this is a good thing, Zang Feng still feels that he is not good enough for the young lady of the Beitang family.

Seeing Zang Feng's troubled face, Bei Tangjin teased him again: "Could it be that the general already has a sweetheart? So he doesn't like my sister?"

"No, no, no..." Zang Feng hurriedly shook his head, how could he look down on Miss Beitang's family?

It's just that when he shook his head, Su Tao stomped his feet angrily. It was a waste of all her efforts for so many years!

Bei Tangjin was amused by Zang Feng's foolishness, and said: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, the thing is like this, my father wants to take Su Tao as his adopted daughter, and wants to find a good marriage for her, so I'm looking for you today I'm just asking what you mean, if you don't want to, I have no choice but to choose someone else."

Bei Tangjin changed so quickly, Zang Feng hadn't caught up yet, he was stunned for a moment, then happy again, and then he didn't know how to speak.He just faltered and said, "I..."

Bei Tangjin knew that he was stupid, so he smiled and said: "If you are willing, after the old lady's birthday is over, you can send a matchmaker here, and let's discuss this marriage carefully."

Although Zang Feng was embarrassed, he also understood Bei Tang Jin's meaning, so he nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then Zang Feng will report back to his mother. Zang Feng bid farewell!" After finishing speaking, he fled in despair.

Bei Tangjin looked at Zang Feng's burly body. It was really interesting that such a big man would be ashamed even when he encountered such a thing.

Su Tao was listening outside, and she was delighted. Bei Tangjin called her in and said, "Since you heard it, let's go back to Shuyunzhai. You still have to learn the rules, otherwise how can you be a wife?"

Su Tao thanked Bei Tangjin and withdrew.

However, this matter quickly reached Helian's ears. Early the next morning, when Bei Tangjin said hello, Helian's face was obviously a little ugly. When asked about this, his face was condensed.

Bei Tangjin looked flustered and frightened, and said, "Ah Jin was the one who was abrupt. Ah Jin just thought that with such a good thing, others should not be able to get ahead first, so..."

It was the first time for Wang Yuanxiang to see Bei Tangjin so frightened, her usual eloquence turned into a clumsy tongue, and said with a smile, "Mother, I don't blame Ah Jin for this matter, I'm afraid that such a good marriage has not been settled. I can't sleep well!"

However, He Lian's eyes sharpened, and said: "It will be my birthday in one day, it will not be too late to wait until that day, I invited people here yesterday, it is going to spread, what's the proper way? "

Bei Tangjin didn't dare to speak, and just waited for Helianshi to calm down.

Wang Yuanxiang said: "Ah Jin's left and right are also generals, and they were also invited to meet in private, so no one must have seen it. This General Zangfeng also often comes to Beitang House. Except for the Beitang family, outsiders don't know about it."

"No wonder she is like this, so she learned from you!" Helian said coldly, not giving Wang Yuanxiang any face.

Wang Yuanxiang hit a wall one after another, feeling strange, she was not wrong to say so, how did the old matriarch bring out what happened back then?

Bei Tangjin listened, thinking it was funny, Wang Yuanxiang fell in love with Bei Tang Xun back then, even if he was looking for a life and death, he wanted to marry into Bei Tang's family, saying that it was because of being a maid beside Bei Tang Xun, and so did Mrs. Wei Guogong. The present Mrs. He had no choice but to marry Wang Yuanxiang to the Beitang family, and later became a flat wife. What the Helian family means today is that Wang Yuanxiang did not have the decency and etiquette that a lady should have, which made Beitang Jin also affected.

"Grandmother, don't be angry. This matter was originally Ajin's fault. Mother loves Ajin, so don't blame her!" Bei Tangjin hurriedly admitted her mistake again.

"Hmph! Thanks to the fact that you have been with Princess Yongchang for so long, you still don't know the rules. After my birthday, you don't want to enter the palace anymore. You should learn the rules at home so as not to go out and get lost. The face of the Beitang family!"

He Lianshi said this very seriously, as if pointing his nose and scolding Bei Tang Jin for embarrassing the Bei Tang family.However, according to Helian's temper, being reprimanded is already light, so Bei Tangjin just listened with his head down, not daring to argue.

Although Wang Yuanxiang was also reprimanded by Helian's, she felt refreshed seeing Bei Tangjin being reprimanded even more severely. This girl is so ignorant of the rules, her previous precautions are unnecessary!

Bei Tangru is also laughing at Bei Tangjin. Although Bei Tangjin has excellent military exploits, this is in the Beitang Mansion, not on the battlefield. Only those who know the rules can stand firm. She has repeatedly made her grandmother angry. After this day I'm afraid it will be even worse.

After Helian's reprimanded Bei Tangjin, they all retreated.

When returning to Tingxue Pavilion, Qiu Rong looked worried and said: "Miss, you know that the old matriarch dislikes people who don't know the rules, why do you do it on purpose?"

Yesterday she was very surprised, the young lady knew clearly that it was unreasonable to see Zang Feng privately, but the young lady insisted on doing so, she was reprimanded today, fortunately she was not punished.

When Bei Tangjin heard this, she smiled slightly, and said, "Grandmother really doesn't like me, but seeing my good mother's face, I'm afraid she hates me even more! What's more, this is a good friend who adds fuel to the flames." How could I miss this opportunity?"

The more Qiurong listened, the more confused he became. What is a good opportunity to add fuel to the flames?

Bei Tangjin knew that she didn't understand, and explained with a smile: "Presumably, Wang Yuanxiang will magnify his courage to take action when today's incident happens! Since she arranged it carefully, how can I, as a daughter, not appreciate face?
