Rebirth: The Gatekeeper

Chapter 323 A Cup of Bitter Tea

While the fragrance of tea was wafting, Bei Tangjin was honored as the honored guest by the Zheng capital, and not only that, but also invited his son out to talk with Bei Tangjin alone, which made Bei Tangjin even more surprised.

The feeling told her that the capital of Zheng must have something very important to tell her, and this matter gave her a heavy sense of depression, which suddenly made her feel worried and uneasy.

"How about Yurong tasting the old man's tea?" Zheng Shoufu's face was extremely kind, and his voice was so kind that it sounded like a loving elder.

This made Bei Tangjin feel extremely unreal. After she married Fengying in her previous life, the emperor allowed her to participate in the government affairs, and she had to attend all the important affairs of the government. Therefore, she was fortunate to hear the wonderful new policy overview of the Zheng capital. At that time, although the other party was almost sixty years old, but the passionate words, the heroic posture and high fighting spirit when looking forward to the beautiful future, seemed to be decades younger all of a sudden. At this moment, Bei Tangjin recalled it vividly head.

That was the unique shock that she had lived for more than ten years. She never knew that a person can have such a broad mind, with his family, country, and common people in his heart, completely ignoring himself, as if his life was to save the people. Common people, save the common people from the fire and water, or live to create a prosperous world!

It's a pity that Feng Yan couldn't tolerate this person after all, and asked her to get rid of Zheng Shoufu many times. However, she cherished her talents at the time and didn't want to do it at all. Naturally, even if she did do it, someone as smart as Zheng Shoufu would naturally notice .However, in the end, she was forced by the form, and she still did it. Back then, she cured Mrs. Zheng's strange disease. Therefore, she manipulated Mrs. Zheng's body through Mrs. Zheng, which was a kind of powerless as if terminally ill Once the medicine is taken, he will be bedridden and unable to afford it. Therefore, Zheng Shoufu had to resign from office to recuperate from his illness.

Bei Tangjin still remembers the resentment and reluctance in the other party's eyes back then, it was the resentment and lament that Xun Zhong's revenge could not be achieved!Because of seeing the other party's eyes like this, and because the New Deal had to be implemented, she and other important officials of the court came to the door every day to report the important affairs of the court and ask for advice on how to deal with them. During this period, she also invited a famous doctor to help Zheng The capital made a prescription, which made him not as weak as before. The Zheng family was grateful to her for a while, and she was ashamed of what she received back then, but she had to finally make up her mind for Feng Yan.

Therefore, hearing this familiar and loving voice again at this time, Bei Tangjin had the illusion that it seemed like a world away.

It was as if everything had returned to the past. Back then, even though she was a woman, she was also appreciated by the capital of Zheng. If it wasn't for the capital of Zheng, how could she, as a woman, gain a foothold in the court and give advice to the country?

The familiar tea fragrance, she had drunk it countless times in her previous life.

Bei Tangjin smiled slightly, lowering her eyes to hide the turbulent feelings in her heart, "It is fragrant in the mouth, but there is a hint of bitterness lingering on the tip of the tongue, and when you sip it carefully, it has a rich and mellow aroma. It is really a good tea!"

Zheng Shoufu nodded slightly, very satisfied with Bei Tangjin's answer, and said: "I drink this tea every day, and every time I taste the bitterness on the tip of my tongue, it will quickly calm down the restlessness in my heart."

When Zheng Shoufu said this, his gaze remained on Bei Tangjin's face.

Bei Tangjin looked surprised.

It's not because Zheng Shoufu drinks such bitter tea every day, but why does the other party say such things to her, a junior?Tasting tea is a very interesting thing. Shouldn't you find a good friend who has been with you for many years in such a situation?How could she be qualified to listen to such words?

However, it is obvious that Zheng's government is also very satisfied with Bei Tangjin's look of surprise, and then continued: "Does Yurong know why the old man still enjoys drinking such bitter tea every day?"

Bei Tangjin was shocked, she understood the other party's intention in an instant, and her back was covered in cold sweat!

Undoubtedly, Mr. Zheng was trying to test her, to be exact, to test her depth!

When Zheng Shoufu asked such a sentence, he was undoubtedly testing how much she knew about him, Zheng Shoufu!In other words, how much she knows about the affairs of the court is related!

Bei Tangjin's mind was more chaotic than ever before.

Zheng Shoufu is more scheming than the emperor, facing such a person, all her thoughts and thoughts seem to be inescapable, which makes her palms break out in cold sweat!

How should she answer?

Answer truthfully, or pretend not to know?

Bei Tangjin tried her best to maintain a thoughtful face, hiding all the flustered emotions in her eyes, and her movements of holding up the teacup were still slow and unhurried.

In fact, she couldn't hide it for a long time. Since the day when she was forced by her good uncle to fight with the officials, she has already missed the bottom line. She has a deep understanding of the affairs of the court!

Bei Tangjin slowly pulled out a smile, and his face became more respectful, "Mencius once said that when the heavens will send a great mission to the people, they must first suffer from their hearts and minds, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, and empty their bodies. Do whatever you want. Yurong ventured to guess that Mr. Ge is using this hardship to remind yourself at all times that the road to being an official is difficult and dangerous, and you will be helpless when encountering a little injustice, and your mood is impetuous. How else can we benefit the people of the Li people?"

In the end, Bei Tangjin said half of what she had to say, and kept half of it. In this way, her true strength was still concealed, and it would not arouse the suspicion of Chief Zheng.

After she finished speaking, her expression became more natural, and her gaze stayed on Zheng Shoufu's face for a moment, like a junior waiting for the judgment of her elders.

Zheng Shoufu stroked his beard, his thin and white lips moved, and then smiled slightly, "Yurong said well, well said!"

Zheng Shoufu nodded for a while.

Others thought that he liked the taste of drinking bitter tea every day, only this little girl got to the point, so it can be seen that she is indeed a malleable talent, and she also knows a lot about her capital.

It's a pity that she is a woman after all, even if she can capture people's hearts so accurately, she can't gain a foothold in the court!Thinking of this, Zheng Shoufu sighed slightly.

Seeing the other party's expression like this, Bei Tangjin was a little confused.

In fact, her answer did not satisfy Chief Zheng, but the other party was very satisfied. Not only that, but also a look of regret, why?

When Bei Tangjin was suspicious for a while, Zheng Shoufu asked again: "What kind of books does Yurong read every day?"

Bei Tangjin blinked her eyelashes, it seemed that the other party wanted to find out about her!

As a general, it is impossible for her to only read "The Female Ring". This is absolutely unbelievable!

Therefore, she did not hide too much, saying: "Mainly dabble in military books and history books."

Reading military books is to go to the battlefield to fight and deploy troops, but reading history books has something to do with politics.

Zheng Shoufu nodded and smiled again when he heard the words: "No wonder, no wonder!" No wonder he can grasp people's hearts so accurately, no wonder he can silence those Confucian scholars!

It turned out that this woman herself was extremely intelligent, so intelligent that she knew how to make herself even more intelligent!
