Early in the morning, Bei Tangjin went to Helian's place to say hello.
A few days ago, the Helian family reprimanded Bei Tangjin, saying that she did not understand etiquette and had not gone to the An family to visit her grandmother, which was really unfilial. Bei Tangjin admitted her mistake, asked for punishment, and copied the Buddhist scriptures.
When Helian saw Bei Tangjin raising the curtain and coming in with a respectful look on her face and walking slowly in small steps, she was extremely dignified and well-behaved, so she didn't plan to reprimand her anymore.
Bei Tangjin bowed, and Helian ordered her maid to pour tea for her. Bei Tangjin drank slowly while waiting for Helian to speak.
However, for a long time, Helian just closed his eyes and chanted Buddhist scriptures in his mouth. Among the curls of sandalwood, there was only the sound of rolling beads.
Bei Tangjin had a reserved look on his face, especially when he sat quietly, neither arrogant nor impetuous, and quite able to keep his composure.
After about half a cup of tea, Helian opened his eyes, glanced at Bei Tangjin's body with sharp eyes, and said, "Bring the Buddhist scriptures here."
Beitang Jin immediately stood up and respectfully received the blessing, saying, "Yes." After she finished speaking, she knelt down respectfully in front of Helian, lowered her head and raised her arms, and held up the copied Buddhist scriptures in front of her.
Seeing her smooth movements and natural elegance, Helian couldn't help but nodded and said: "Although your grandmother is a gentle person, you are a junior after all. You must be polite and considerate at all times, and you must not be disrespectful in the slightest."
Wrong, if I ask someone to point out the mistake, you don’t have to come to see me again! Do you understand?"
The Beitang family held their breath, lowered their heads slightly, and replied respectfully: "Please rest assured, grandma, A Jinding is careful in his words and deeds, and will not let others find fault."
Helianshi nodded and said, "Okay, you can go."
Bei Tangjin stood up slowly, stepped back respectfully, and said, "Yes."
As soon as the green bamboo shoots came out, he took a deep breath and said in his heart: Amitabha, my God, I almost suffocated in it. Such a job is really fatal.
Even though she followed Bei Tangjin to Helian's house many times, she could not bear the depression every time. She stood there with the urge to escape. Especially the look in the old lady's eyes was really terrifying.
She followed Bei Tangjin in small steps, walking very fast, but even so, she could not keep up with Bei Tangjin's pace. The girl behind her could only huff and puff.
Bei Tangjin was walking in front and could already hear the gasps of the girls and women, but she ignored them and kept walking.
It wasn't until she reached a secluded place that Bei Tangjin stopped, and then turned her head to look at the people she was leading.
She has a habit of paying more attention to everything and everyone. Therefore, she only takes one girl with her when she goes out on weekdays. But the person she wants to meet today is her grandmother. Is it wrong for her to bring less people?
appropriate.
She is a young lady from a big family and the eldest daughter. There are no less than twenty people serving her in the house. In addition to those brought from the General's Mansion, Wang Yuanxiang has given them to her one after another. She went there this time.
The Marquis of Xuanning must bring at least two maids and four girls.
As the saying goes, there are many people and many things happen. Although she believed in Qiu Rong, at this time, she would still say a few words to avoid any problems.
When the maids saw their young lady stopped, they all lowered their heads slightly, waiting for her to speak. This is what Qiu Rong taught her on weekdays. If a young lady wants to speak, she should lower her head slightly and be respectful. Otherwise, she will
Miss De was not happy and was punished, so don’t blame her for not reminding her.
Although they have been listening to Xue Pavilion for so long, they almost never really talk to their young lady. If they have anything to do, they can just go to Qiurong directly. The young lady's face is rarely seen. Moreover, their young lady is very rare.
She spoke little, and even when she spoke, she was extremely concise. Therefore, they still haven't figured out this young lady's temper. However, they could tell just by looking at Qiurong.
Qiu Rong is a powerful person. She always smiles when talking to others and is smooth and sophisticated in dealing with things, which makes them all admired by the elderly. Therefore, Qiu Rong is so powerful, let alone this young lady?
Bei Tangjin only glanced at these people briefly, and saw that their expressions were extremely respectful, so she felt relieved. However, she was used to being cautious, so she reminded these people again: "I know that you are usually capable.
Otherwise, you would not stand in front of me. I think you all know how much the old lady and the master attach great importance to today's visit. Therefore, nothing can go wrong today. If it loses the face of Beitang Mansion, you also know this.
Consequences. Of course, you don’t need to be too nervous, Xuanninghou Mansion is not a den for tigers and wolves, so just look at my eyes and act according to the opportunity."
After hearing Bei Tangjin's words, the women and girls were gentle but ruthless, very alarming, so they all responded loudly.
Bei Tangjin nodded and walked towards the door.
Beitang Xun had already sat on the sedan chair. When he heard her coming, he immediately called her over and asked, "Did your grandmother give you some advice again?"
Bei Tangjin nodded and said: "Grandma, give some advice to your daughter and ask her to act according to etiquette. She must not be negligent in the slightest."
Bei Tang Xun was stunned. His mother did not trouble Bei Tang Jin anymore, which made him a little surprised. But since there was nothing wrong, he didn't need to worry, so he said: "Get in the sedan, let's set off."
Beitang Jin said respectfully: "Yes."
Bei Tangjin had already handed in the notice when he came this time. Therefore, as soon as Beitang Mansion's sedan carriage arrived, someone was there to greet him, and then led Bei Tangjin to the inner hall.
Xuanning Hou Mansion is a Hou Mansion after all, with pavilions, pavilions, rockery and waterside pavilions, and the scenery in the garden is much more exquisite than that of Northern Tang Mansion.
Beitang Xun glanced around and sighed a lot in his heart. He hadn't visited for more than ten years, so he didn't know if his visit today would be a disappointment.
After all, he was indeed sorry for Qingxue.
Bei Tangjin was very familiar with the scenery of Xuanninghou Mansion. She walked slowly with the housekeeper without saying a word and with a calm expression. The housekeeper looked at her several times and couldn't help but admire and like her.
He was the old housekeeper of Marquis Xuanning. He had watched the third lady grow up in his early years. Therefore, the third lady passed away and left the only flesh and blood. He was extremely worried about the situation of this child. At this time, he saw that the child had already
She has grown up so big and yet she has become such a beautiful woman. She has made great achievements in war, is liked by the emperor and the empress, and is regarded as a confidant by Princess Yongchang. She is now the most dazzling man of the hour, better than all the young masters.
A hundred times, why doesn’t it make people happy?
However, I am very happy that this girl has not visited her home even once in such a long time. The old lady kept thinking in her heart that she felt chilled. She kept muttering in her heart whether she disliked this granddaughter.
What about the old woman who refused to see her because the Marquis's house was exposed? He was also worried, but now he felt relieved when he saw that the child was polite and decent in every aspect and showed no trace of pride.
Bei Tangjin naturally knew the old housekeeper, but she only became familiar with him in her previous life when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. Therefore, at this time, naturally her eyes should not be too fiery, as this would arouse suspicion.
When Bei Tangjin was led to Mrs. Zhou, her two aunts and several sisters were sitting in the room. She glanced at them quietly and saw that their expressions were not good-looking. Bei Tangjin
She knew that something was not going well today, but she remained calm and went to visit her grandmother first.
Beitang Xun also paid his respects to Mrs. Zhou. Mrs. Zhou only glanced at Beitang Xun and said, "Go to the boss's study, he is waiting for you."
Beitang Xun said yes and then retreated, while Beitang Jin stood aside. Only then did Mrs. Zhou look a little happy, and waved to Beitang Jin again, saying: "Ajin,
Come over to grandma and let grandma take a good look at it."
Bei Tangjin nodded in agreement, and walked up to Mrs. Zhou again with great respect, lowering her eyes. She was not too hot, not cold, and not reserved. She was very respectful and well-behaved. When Mrs. Zhou saw her,
She was extremely happy and said: "Okay, okay, Ajin turned out to be so handsome, just like your mother when she was young."
Mrs. Zhou raised her head and looked at it for a long time, and then said: "Your mother abandoned you back then and insisted on your father taking you to the border. I am an old woman who really has no ability. If you don't come from Beitang's house, you will
After suffering so many years at the border, do you blame your grandmother?" Mrs. Zhou said, wiping her tears with a handkerchief and choking.
Beitang Jin has excellent concentration and patience. She has been hiding it for so many years. No matter how hard it is, she has never shed tears. But after listening to Mrs. Zhou's words, her nose felt a little sore.
My eyes are also sore.
However, she finally held back, and knelt down in front of Taijun Zhou Lai with a plop, saying, "Ajin is ignorant and didn't come to see grandma until today, which made grandma worried." As she spoke, she raised her head and said:
Mrs. Zhou wiped her tears.
When Mrs. Zhou saw her kneeling down, her tears fell even more fiercely, and she said: "Silly boy, what are you doing? Get up quickly, the ground is cold." Mrs. Zhou hurriedly helped Bei Tang Jin. The maids on the left and right
They also hurried over to help, and Bei Tangjin stood up.
At this time, Mrs. Bai advised: "Mother, isn't Ajin standing here perfectly fine now? She is so well-behaved, so don't be sad."
Mrs. Hu also advised: "Mom, Ajin is a sensible person. Don't be sad, lest you make this child cry with you."
Mrs. Zhou felt better now. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Come on, Ajin, come sit down with grandma."
Beitang Jin said, "Grandma, Ajin hasn't met her eldest aunt and second aunt yet, so she doesn't dare to sit down."
"Look at me, an old woman, I forgot to introduce you." She said, already stood up, pointed at Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Hu and said, "This is your eldest aunt, and that is your second aunt."
Bei Tangjin met one by one.
Mrs. Bai was originally somewhat prejudiced against Bei Tangjin. Now seeing her being so respectful and considerate in etiquette, she became less prejudiced against her. However, she still didn't like Bei Tangjin. Ms. Hu had always had a relationship with Mr. Bai.
Excellent. Seeing that Bei Tangjin is so well-behaved, and thinking about the rumors about her outside, I know that she is doing this just because of etiquette. Even though she is well-behaved, she does not show her closeness, so this girl is probably afraid of losing Bei Tangjin.
The Tang family acted like this out of dignity.
She is indeed an extremely smart girl.
Mrs. Zhou was happy to see Bei Tangjin everywhere. She pointed to the three ladies standing aside and said, "Why don't you come over and see your sister?"
The three young ladies responded with great respect. They stood aside for a long time and looked at the cousin they had not seen for many years. They showed no signs of joy and paid their respects according to the etiquette taught by their mother.
Bei Tangjin smiled slightly, looked at her three sisters, and without saying much, sat down with Mrs. Zhou.
Her three younger sisters were obviously prejudiced against her. It was useless for her to talk more at this time, so they became less friendly.
Mrs. Zhou also noticed it, but she didn't say anything, she just knew it in her heart. She pulled Bei Tangjin and asked: "Tell me, grandma, how did you spend these years at the border?"
Beitang Jin said in a calm voice: "In the first few years, I was not at the border, but I studied martial arts and the art of war with my master. I lived a very peaceful life. Later I went to the border to practice martial arts and soldiers every day, and then I came here. Thinking back on it,
, which is quite fulfilling.”
The ten years of hard work at the border were all talked about so lightly by her.
Everyone thought she was complaining nicely, but they didn't expect that she would say it so lightly.
They were from a noble family, so how could they not know the suffering at the border? It was very difficult for a boy to go, let alone a woman? But seeing her speaking in such a normal tone, how could he not be shocked?
Mrs. Zhou held Bei Tangjin's hand and said, "You are such a sensible kid. You are afraid that your grandma will be sad. Is that what you said? What a silly kid!"
Bei Tangjin shook her head and said: "The border crossing is indeed difficult, but once you get used to it, it doesn't matter anymore." As she spoke, she slowly held Mrs. Zhou's hand, smiled very gently and well-behaved, and said: "Look
Look, A-Jin, isn't this great? And after so many years of experience, A-Jin has gained a lot of knowledge and can finally protect herself. Why are you sad instead?" Seeing Mrs. Zhou so sad, Beitang Jin couldn't bear it.
She couldn't help but say a few words of comfort, even though these words sounded so abrupt to her previous words, she still couldn't help but say them.
When Bai and Hu heard this, they looked at each other, shook their heads, and continued drinking tea without interrupting.
Obviously, the reason why Bei Tangjin said this was just to please the old lady. After all, they settled into the royal family and became more and more prominent. For someone as smart as Bei Tangjin, this must be the purpose of coming here this time.
.
Mrs. Zhou was moved again when she heard what Bei Tangjin said. She held Bei Tangjin in her arms and talked for a long time. It wasn't until noon that she asked someone to set out the meal and they ate together.
She talked for a while and then he sent her back.
Beitang Xun only exchanged a few polite words with Marquis Xuanning, and did not say any substantive issues. Marquis Xuanning was also a smart man and knew that he would not conspire with people like Beitang Xun. He entertained him just to see him.
It's just that the two families are in-laws.
Bei Tangjin kept thinking about the way Bai and Hu looked at her on the way back, and couldn't help but keep shaking her head.
The reason why the two aunts, Mrs. Hu and Mrs. Bai, did not speak was because they were afraid of spoiling her grandmother's interest and hurting the old man's heart. If they met alone, her two aunts would not be polite to her.
Beitang Jin thought for a long time, smiled bitterly, and thought to herself: There is actually nothing wrong with this. This shows that she is indeed not close to the Xuanning Marquis.
A few more peaceful days passed. It was not until the eighth day of the first lunar month that Feng Chen came back, and Beitang Jin started to get busy and prepare for everything.
Feng Chen came back, and so did the other princes.
In her previous life, Bei Tangjin had been checking where the princes had gone, but she had never found out. In this life, too, she had asked people to follow Feng Chen early and lost them. It can be seen that these princes really went there.
I did something extremely secret.
When Bei Tangjin saw Feng Chen, she found that his whole temperament had changed a lot. From the original elegant and scholarly atmosphere, he had become sharper and sharper. She even felt that Feng Chen's whole body was a bit more violent.
Feng Chen was no longer afraid of her at all. The first thing he said when he saw her was sarcastically: "The first thing I heard when I returned to Dadu was about you, and the second thing was about you. Beitang Jin, you
You are really capable. Even Duke Wei's strict strategy was defeated by you. It's really awesome. I heard that you were also quarreling with other scholars. Even the adults in the capital agreed with your statement and decided to rule it out.
Except! You are so much more powerful than I thought! Do you think I should be very proud to join you, a man of great influence in the capital?"
Feng Chen's tone was sinister and his voice was arrogant and rude. Bei Tangjin looked at him in surprise and even felt that the person in front of her was not Feng Chen.
When Feng Chen faced Bei Tangjin's surprise, he didn't feel that he was going too far. Instead, he felt much happier. He knew clearly that he shouldn't talk to this vicious woman like this, but he just couldn't help it.
Bei Tangjin was still so surprised that he looked Feng Chen up and down for a long time, and then asked: "Is His Highness Ninth Prince stimulated? Or is he dissatisfied with me?"
"How can I have the guts to be dissatisfied with you Bei Tangjin? I respect you! I admire you!" Feng Chen said sarcastically.
Bei Tangjin was confused for a while, why did Feng Chen want to ridicule her? It's really funny! However, she didn't care much about this, so she went straight to the topic and said: "Since you have heard about it, you must also know about Qin Tian
The prisoner has been imprisoned and will be interrogated by the three divisions in a few days, so you must take care of Qintian Prison within this time!"
When Feng Chen heard this, he sneered and said, "Aren't you very capable? Why do you need me to handle this matter?"
No matter how much Feng Chen mocked her just now, Bei Tang Jin could tolerate it if it didn't involve interests. However, when Feng Chen spoke like this, he was clearly going against her, so Bei Tang Jin's expression immediately changed and he asked coldly: "
What do you mean by Your Majesty Ninth Prince? Isn't it too late for you to cancel the alliance now and regret it?" She must remind this man to recognize the facts and he must do what she said in order to survive!
Feng Chen was also annoyed for a while and said: "Yes, I just regret it and want to terminate the covenant, what about it?"
Bei Tangjin stared at Feng Chen for a long time, and then said, "In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless!" As she said this, she stood up and walked away.
"Bei Tangjin, are you so cruel? Are you willing to do anything?" Looking at Bei Tangjin's back, Feng Chen roared unwillingly.
