Chapter 88(1/2)
It was late at night, the tea was cold on the table, and the ink was still wet. Accompanied by the sound of the hourglass, the writing was smooth and casual. In just a moment, a picture of mountains and flowing water was completed.
Feng Yan finally raised his head from the desk, looked at the dark night outside, and stood alone, with the cold wind blowing on his face, and he finally came back to his senses.
Beitang Jin has returned to the capital, and Beitang Xun has been granted the title of Minister of War. His father's intention is very obvious. He wants to use the power of the Beitang family to assist the eldest prince. Unfortunately, his father may not understand Beitang.
If Xun did this, I'm afraid Beitang Xun might not understand what he meant. In this case, Beitang Xun would inevitably be unwilling to accept it, and he would take advantage of this point of Beitang Xun.
Father, the only one you love is the queen. Your most beloved son is the eldest prince Fengying. Even if Fengying is timid and fearful and cannot be the emperor, you still have to do your best to help him ascend to the throne. I am also your son, but,
In your eyes, only Fengying is your son. Who are we? We are just pebbles you left in the corner! You don’t even bother to look at it. In this case, why should I be soft-hearted and worry about the relationship between father and son? The royal family
There is no family affection, no love, only endless intrigue!
Thinking of this, Feng Yan's handsome and dazzling face smiled cruelly. Yes, since no one loves him, then only he loves himself!
At this time, a man in black came in a hurry and knelt in front of Feng Yan, waiting for Feng Yan's question.
"How is Beitang Mansion these days?" Feng Yan's voice was still calm and calm, without any ripples. He was completely different from the one who had suddenly become emotional and sad just now.
"Tomorrow morning, I heard that I was going to Pochen Temple to offer incense and pray for blessings." The man in black told the center directly.
"Pochen'an?" Feng Yan raised his eyebrows, this was a good opportunity.
"What has Bei Tang Jin done recently?" This is what he is more concerned about. After all, this woman is an extremely important chess piece for him.
"Three days ago, I was punished because I came home late and did not report to my aunt in advance. I copied the Heart Sutra. I should be still copying the Heart Sutra at this time. I haven't slept for three days and two nights." The man in black said in a calm voice.
He didn't think this was an important matter, it was just a punishment for a woman who didn't understand the rules at the border.
However, when Feng Yan heard this, his eyebrows jumped. He was keen enough to capture the strangeness of this matter.
For so many years, he has been secretly observing every move of the Beitang family, and has carefully studied everyone in the Beitang family.
The old lady of the Beitang family, Helian, was an extremely mean old lady. This can be seen from the fact that her granddaughter broke one of her teacups and made her kneel down in the ancestral hall.
Breaking a teacup is not a big deal. A loving grandmother would not pursue the matter. However, Helianshi actually held on to the matter and scolded her granddaughter for not learning the rules well and not being dignified and comfortable as a lady should.
Ya Yunyun, I’m afraid this is the meanest grandmother ever.
And Bei Tang Jin came back late and didn't report to his aunt in advance, which really broke the rules. Coupled with Mrs. Wang's fanning the flames, I am afraid that Bei Tang Jin's late return can insinuate countless Bei Tang Jin's unruly behavior.
The matter of rules is not just that. Considering Helian's meanness, it is most reasonable to scold Jin from the Northern Tang Dynasty for being unfilial and make him kneel in the ancestral hall and copy the "Nv's Ring".
However, Bei Tangjin was only punished by copying the "Heart Sutra". What kind of punishment was this? It was interesting! However, no matter what kind of punishment it was, it had nothing to do with being unfilial and ignorant of the rules! But, what happened to Bei Tangjin?
How did you do it? How did you convince such a mean grandmother?
"Do you know why Bei Tangjin was only punished for copying the "Heart Sutra"?" He really needed to know more about Bei Tangjin in more detail. I'm afraid she is not what she seems... she can actually make the mean Helian change her original intention!
"What happened that day was released in Jingxinzhai, so I don't know the specific reason." The man in black said calmly. Jingxinzhai was heavily guarded and there was no way he could get in.
Feng Yan knew that Helian was suspected of being seriously ill, so he strengthened multiple security guards at the place where he lived. In fact, this was not surprising. Helian also came from the Duke's palace and knew how to take precautions to avoid the scandal of the family.
Feng Yan nodded, thinking to herself that no matter how Bei Tangjin tried to convince Helian, it showed that she was indeed very smart and could not be punished even if she made mistakes. This was not an ordinary ability.
but……
Bei Tang Jin came back late and didn't know that her aunt had reported in advance. She was indeed a girl who didn't understand the rules. It seemed that she didn't learn any rules when she was at the border, so she didn't even have this bit of common sense. If she stayed out again, it wouldn't be a good idea.
The name of Jie is also well established.
"Since they are going to Pochen Temple to burn incense tomorrow, then you can make arrangements. This is a rare opportunity and there must be no mistakes." Feng Yan ordered, then waved his hand and looked back into the dark night.
This time, he must capture Bei Tangjin's heart. Only in this way can this woman be used by him.
Beitang Mansion, Tingxue Pavilion.
Bei Tangjin had already put down his brush, walked slowly to the door, looked at the sky in the distance, and fell into deep thought.
The sky in the distance was already dyed with a faint blush. She knew that it was because the sun was about to come out, and the light and shadow it showed was extremely beautiful.
And there was one man who looked calm and tolerant on the surface, but was actually as dazzling as the sun. That man was the man she loved deeply in her previous life. His name was Feng Yan, the fourth prince of Daxia.
Elegant and polite, he is delicate and gentle when he loves you, which will make you feel that you are the happiest woman in the world. He is really good at pleasing people. He will hold you in his hands and love you, making you feel that you are him.
The only treasure.
However……
She was ultimately a puddle of mud in his eyes, so all his love was just a lie, turned into a sharp sword and inserted straight into her chest...
Thinking of this, Bei Tangjin subconsciously touched her chest, still clearly remembering the heartbreaking pain that day, no... no matter what, this life must not be controlled by Feng Yan, she will use all her strength to fight with him
Fighting to the death, even if both sides suffer...
It's been three days... This is the fifth day since she returned to Dadu, but Feng Yan still hasn't taken any action. Why is this? Bei Tangjin rubbed his eyebrows to soothe his nerves.
Feng Yan stood still, what on earth was he waiting for?
At dawn, someone finally came to report. It was a first-class girl named Yaqing in Wang Yuanxiang's house.
Yaqing wore a dark red waistcoat. The workmanship of the waistcoat was extremely fine. It looked like a top-grade product at first glance. Just looking at Yaqing's outfit, one could tell that Wang Yuanxiang valued this person very much and spent all the money on food and clothing.
The last lady is probably better than the concubine from Beitang Mansion.
Yaqing saluted Bei Tangjin with great respect, then looked at Qiurong who was dressing up Bei Tangjin, a faint sarcasm slipped from the corner of her mouth, but she lowered her head, so no one saw her voice.
She was very respectful and said: "Second Miss, Madam said that she would go to Pochen Temple to offer incense today. If you want to copy scriptures, you don't have to go."
What she said was quite meaningful. It sounded like she was caring that Bei Tangjin could not go out to copy scriptures, so as not to delay the time. In fact, if all the ladies in Beitang Mansion went to Pochen Temple to pray, she, Bei Tangjin, would be the only one who could not go out to copy scriptures.
If you don't go there, it's easy for outsiders to speculate.
However, by going to offer incense at this time, did Wang Yuanxiang deliberately cause trouble for her? But this method was too clumsy.
Bei Tangjin looked at the respectful and polite Yaqing and sneered in her heart. Since Wang Yuanxiang was going to cause trouble for her today, why was she so embarrassed not to give her some gifts in return?
"You go back to your mother, and I will go with you today to offer incense." Bei Tangjin said lightly.
A look of surprise appeared on Yaqing's face, and she said, "But, Second Miss, don't you need to copy the scriptures?"
Beitang Jin said: "You don't have to worry about this. You can go back and report to your mother."
Although Yaqing was very curious, she saw that Beitang Jin had no intention of revealing anything. She must be worried that she would be suspected because they did not offer incense together. Even the concubines of the Beitang family followed, not to mention the Beitang family.
Where is this dazzling second lady?
Yaqing quickly retreated.
Bei Tangjin wore relatively plain clothes. On her head was a plum-blossom gold inlaid jade walking wave with a plum-blossom gold hairpin stuck sideways. She was wearing a snow brocade white robe, with both the collar and the hem of the robe.
Embroidered with proudly blooming red plum blossoms, it is extremely red.
Bei Tangjin looked at her outfit, and asked Qiurong to take the scriptures that had been written, and with a cold smile on her flower-like lips, he said, "Let's go see the old lady."
Qiurong was stunned for a moment and said: "Miss, doesn't the old lady not like plum blossoms? Why do you..."
Bei Tangjin smiled mysteriously and said, "You will know in a moment."
When Bei Tangjin arrived at Jingxinzhai, Helian had already finished his meal and was sitting on the couch reading scriptures. After hearing the sound of the report, he put down the scriptures and looked outside the door.
I saw the beaded curtain being opened by a pair of jade hands, and a woman as beautiful as an immortal walked in. Her beautiful eyes were looking forward to life, her red lips were smiling, her face was respectful, she knelt down in front of her, and her respectful voice contained a trace of
Terrified, he said: "Meet my grandmother."
When Helian saw this, he shook his head. Bei Tang Jin was too beautiful and dazzling, and could easily be jealous and assassinated. But now that he had shown up, he couldn't dress up like an ugly monster. Thinking of this, Helian felt helpless.
, said: "Get up."
After Bei Tangjin heard this, he stood up respectfully, but he still had a low eyebrow.
Helian asked him to sit down, and then asked: "I heard that your mother went to offer incense today, but you came here for this reason. I know your purpose of coming. This is the fourth day. If you haven't finished copying the scriptures,
, you have to go for the sake of the Beitang family's face. You can find the scriptures and copy them someday, but you can't get them back if you lose your face." Helian still lectured coldly.
However, Bei Tangjin didn't pay attention to what Helian said. She was secretly wondering that her clothes were all made of plum blossoms, so why didn't Helian react at all?
In fact, Helianshi had just focused all his attention on her face and didn't even look at what she was wearing. What Helianshi was helpless at this time was because her beauty, Bei Tangjin, would bring trouble.
"Ajin thanked grandma for the suggestion. Ajin took note of it." Beitang Jin said respectfully.
"Now that you have written it down, please step aside!" Helian looked very impatient, but Bei Tangjin said: "Grandma, I have copied the Heart Sutra a thousand times. Please take a look at it." She finished.
He had already taken the scripture from Qiurong's hand and handed it to Helian.
Helianshi was obviously taken aback and said: "Finished copying? How is this possible?"
Beitang Jin raised the scriptures high above his head, knelt in front of Helian, and said, "Please take a look at it, grandma."
Mother Qiu was very worried when she saw the plum blossoms on Bei Tangjin's body, but she was relieved when she saw that Helian didn't react at all. At this time, she was also very shocked when she heard that Bei Tangjin had actually finished copying the scriptures.
He was so shocked that he almost forgot that he should take the scripture from Bei Tangjin's hand and hand it to the old lady to read.
When Bei Tangjin reminded her for the third time, Aunt Qiu regained her composure, stepped forward to take the scripture, and then handed it to Helian.
Helian took the scripture and quickly flipped through it. She saw that every word on the snow-white rice paper was so meaningful and beautiful. It was so thick that it felt a little heavy when she held it in her hand. She was shocked.
After a long time, he finally said: "I heard that you haven't slept for three days and three nights. If you go to burn incense at this time, your body may be able to bear it?" Helian's voice suddenly became a little more kind.
When Bei Tangjin entered the house just now, Helian didn't consider whether Bei Tangjin's body could be used to burn incense, but after seeing the scriptures she copied, his appearance suddenly changed. This shows that the scriptures she copied were Helian's.
Lian was very satisfied and had a good impression of her.
Beitang Jin respectfully said: "Thank you grandma for your concern. Ajin's health is not serious. In the past, we fought at the border. This happened often. Ajin is used to it. Grandma, please feel free to let Ajin go and offer incense."
