Look, this is the effect of adding fuel to the fire. As soon as Wang Yuanxiang's words came out, it was just returning home late, but it was reflected in Bei Tangjin's wanton behavior at the border, misbehaving, not knowing the rules, not observing his duties, and even being unclean.
Unfilial, all the faults that a lady should not have were all blamed on Bei Tangjin.
Wang Yuanxiang's face was filled with fear and worry. She glanced at Beitang Xun, asking Beitang Xun to say something. However, Beitang Xun shook his head at her. Helian was angry, and the more he tried to dissuade him, the more he tried to dissuade her.
It's angry.
"Is this the good daughter you are talking about? Look at her, how does she look like a lady? How can you, as a father, teach your daughter? How does this look like a child of my Beitang family?" Helianshi was furious.
I couldn't catch my breath, and my chest was so tight that it hurt. When I finished speaking these words, I couldn't stop wheezing.
Aunt Qiu was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Helian, and comforted her: "Old lady, the reason why the second lady came back late is due to the second lady's negligence. Perhaps it is the first time this child has come to Dadu, and she has never seen such people.
Good thing, it is possible for you to be playful for a moment and forget to go back home. Please calm down! The second lady is a sensible person, and she will definitely come over to apologize to you as soon as she comes back!"
This was the sincere consolation. When Helian heard this, she thought that Bei Tangjin was very respectful and obedient when he saw her, and her anger disappeared for a moment. However, Bei Tangjin returned late and did not send anyone to report to her.
, it is indeed unruly, and it also makes her angry. There has never been a young lady in the Beitang family who has not returned at this time!
"Mom, this is all my son's fault, my son's negligence!" Bei Tangxun hurriedly apologized to his mother. Helian paid great attention to rules. If she made a mistake, admitting it first would calm her down.
Helian was still panting, and thought to herself, when Bei Tangjin comes back, she will definitely let her know what the rules are! This child has lacked guidance since he was a child!
Helian didn't speak, and Beitang Xun didn't dare to speak. Wang Yuanxiang, Beitang Feng, Beitang Ru, and Beitang Yun all lowered their heads, held their breath, and didn't dare to speak again.
Helianshi was already extremely angry and any further words would be like setting him on fire.
I don't know how long it took before a maid came in and reported, "Old lady, the second lady is here."
Helian said coldly: "She still knows how to come back! Let her come in quickly!"
"Yes." The maidservant responded in a low voice, turned around and went out quickly. The atmosphere in this room was really breathless!
The transparent crystal bead curtain made a crisp sound of "ding-dong-dang-dang", and a pair of white jade fingers slowly opened the bead curtain to take a look.
I saw Wang Yuanxiang, Bei Tang Ru, and Beitang Yun all sitting far away from the Helian family, their faces pale, while Bei Tang Feng and Bei Tang Xun were sitting closer, both with ugly faces.
Bei Tangjin had long expected that Wang Yuanxiang would catch him when he returned tonight, so he was not surprised by such a scene.
However, she looked at Helian's cloudy and sharp eyes and was a little worried. Her grandmother was not easy to persuade, and she disliked unruly women. It seemed that she was in trouble today.
As soon as Bei Tang Jin stepped into the house, he heard Bei Tang Xun scolding him, saying, "Kneel down quickly!"
When everyone saw Bei Tangjin coming in, they all looked at her and thought: If Helian is so angry today, Bei Tangjin will definitely peel off her skin. Bei Tangru is the most beloved young lady in Beitang Mansion, but she just accidentally broke it.
After taking one of Helian's teacups, Helian made her kneel in the ancestral hall for a day and a night, and she was not allowed to eat. By the time Bei Tangru came out, she was already fainting from hunger.
Even Wang Yuanxiang did not dare to visit her daughter, which shows how harsh and cold the Helian family is.
Therefore, when Wang Yuanxiang and Bei Tangru looked at Bei Tangjin, they all gloated about his misfortune. Bei Tangjin had been practicing martial arts since he was a child, so getting beaten was nothing. But when a young lady was punished for misbehavior, it would be very embarrassing if word spread.
How can you gain a foothold in the famous Shuyuan family!?
Of course Bei Tangjin knew that everyone in the room was laughing at her, so naturally she didn't care. What she cared about was how to calm down the matter.
After hearing Beitang Xun's words, she walked a few steps quickly. Before the maid could put down the cushion, she knelt down in front of Helian with a "pop" sound. Her face was extremely frightened and uneasy, and she lowered her head deeply.
She was extremely trembling and said: "Grandma, Ajin is late! Please punish me, grandma!"
She just knelt on the ground with a loud "pop", which shocked everyone in the room, especially the maid who prepared the soft bottom for her. They were so horrified that they hurriedly retracted their hands and looked at Bei Tangjin in shock.
He said: "Second Miss is really brave. If you kneel down like this, do you still need your knees?"
Wang Yuanxiang was also stunned. Bei Tangjin was so cruel to her! She wanted to reduce Helian's anger! But is kneeling really useful? Her A'ru also knelt down to admit her mistake, and Helian
He didn't even look at her. What's more, Bei Tangjin grew up in the border area and was very unfamiliar with the Helian family. How could the Helian family be soft-hearted? She knew this mother-in-law too well. Her heart was stronger than a stone.
You're so stubborn! Bei Tangjin wanted Helian to change his mind by doing this. He was really wishful thinking!
This was the first time Beitang Feng saw Beitang Jin looking so frightened and uneasy. Even when she was framed in front of the emperor that day, she still looked calm and collected. Her grandmother's anger would frighten her, but she was facing
Blood and death are unchanging!
Bei Tangjin was so frightened, he was obviously acting!
Bei Tang Xun was also stunned. He really didn't expect Bei Tang Jin to kneel down so simply. This girl was very proud at heart! He was just preparing what he would say if Bei Tang Jin told him! Now in this situation
, no need!
The sound of Bei Tangjin kneeling just now made Helian stunned for a moment. He looked directly at Bei Tangjin. This was the first time that a person had knelt down in front of her so simply, and so righteously, as if he was going to die.
She saw that Bei Tangjin's face was pale, and the lotus flower on her head was still shaking violently because she had moved too much just now. Also, her hands, which she tried hard to hold back, could be seen trembling slightly through her sleeves.
, this child was already frightened because of her anger. Thinking of Bei Tangjin's great military exploits and martial arts skills, and the countless people who died at her hands, she was not even afraid of death, but she was very afraid of her grandmother,
Helianshi's anger has subsided by three points.
She was pleased by Bei Tangjin's fear, but after all, Bei Tangjin came home late and did not report to his aunt. This had never happened in the Beitang family, so Helian was still angry.
, she dislikes people who have no rules!
"What's wrong with you?!" He was no longer panting, and Helian's voice was extremely cold, like a sword with a cold glow pouring into everyone's ears, making people want to cover their ears!
"Ajin is unfilial, which worries my grandmother, my father, and my mother. Grandma, please punish Ajin!" Regardless of the reason, coming home late is a mistake. You must admit your mistake and ask for punishment!
Seeing Bei Tangjin admitting his mistake so sincerely, Helian thought to himself: "This child can still be saved. He knows he was wrong."
Helianshi's voice finally softened a little, but it was still sharp, and said: "You are a lady from a wealthy family, not a girl from the country. How come you don't even understand these rules? Do you know how many times your father sent out?
Are people looking for you? You have no news at all? You didn’t send a report. Are you trying to scare your mother to death or your father to death? Or are you willing to make me, an old woman, angry to death?" She spoke faster and faster,
By the time I got to the end, I couldn't tell the number anymore.
When Bei Tang Feng heard this, he shook his head. His grandmother never scolded people like this. If he made a mistake, he would be punished without even a chance to defend himself. When Bei Tang Ru was punished, her grandmother didn't even bother to look at her.
He asked someone to drag her out, but when they arrived at Beitang Jin, why did grandma suddenly talk so much?
Beitang Feng was so keen that he smelled something unusual. Without waiting for Bei Tangjin's reply, he immediately said: "Grandma, I already know my mistake. Please forgive her! I am an important minister in the court, how can you do this?"
Why punish her like this? How will my sister be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future!" He would never let his grandmother calm down like this. Even if he had to get involved with her, he would still bury this thorn in his grandmother's heart!
Wang Yuanxiang also felt keenly at this time that Helian didn't seem so angry anymore, so he immediately catered to Beitang Feng and said: "Mother, Ajin is probably still hungry when she comes back so late! You'd better let Ajin get up and eat first.
Bar!"
When Bei Tangjin heard this, she secretly shouted that it was bad. At this time, the more she begged for mercy, the worse her situation would be. What's more, Beitang Feng and Wang Yuanxiang were not begging for mercy!
She had tried her best to cover up her strength with a look of fear, making Helian feel that even though she, Bei Tang Jin, was a general and an important minister of the imperial court, she was still frightened in front of her, Helian, who respected and feared her very much.
Grandmother, but what Wang Yuanxiang and Beitang Feng said was to remind Helian that it was precisely because she was a general that Beitang Jin came home so boldly late and did not take her grandmother seriously! Apologize at this time
, they just want to expose this matter, but not many people sincerely admit their mistakes!
"Whoever begs for mercy again, I will let him be punished along with this unfilial daughter!" Helian suddenly picked up a teacup at hand and slammed it to the ground. With a "bang", the teacup shattered in front of Bei Tangjin, and the tea was even more
It was a shame to her.
When Helian said this, she seemed to admit that Bei Tangjin returned home late on purpose, and put the name of unfilial piety on her head. She paused, glanced at Bei Tangjin coldly, and said: "It's so late.
When you come back, what else are you going to eat? Go to the ancestral hall and kneel down! No need to eat! If anyone dares to secretly deliver food, I will break his legs!"
He just said to kneel in the ancestral hall, not how long. It can be seen that a harsh punishment is really required! Only those who have made serious mistakes will be punished to kneel in the ancestral hall. However, because the Helian family is very harsh and severe, he will be punished if he makes a little mistake.
If you make a small mistake, you will have to kneel down in the ancestral hall.
"Also, copy the "Girl's Ring" to me five hundred times, so as not to forget it again!" Helian said coldly.
At this time, Beitang Feng breathed a sigh of relief. Grandma finally punished Beitang Jin. As long as she knelt down in the ancestral hall, once word spread, her reputation would be ruined. What kind of big mistake did a woman make to have to kneel down in the ancestral hall?
?This is known to everyone as being unclean and extremely unfilial!
A smile finally appeared on Bei Tangru's face, and she looked at Bei Tangjin with the most disdainful and vicious eyes, thinking: "Even though you, Bei Tangjin, are a general and are loved by the emperor, you have also won the favor of Princess Yongchang.
Appreciation, if you kneel down in the ancestral hall, your reputation will be gone."
According to common sense, the punishment of a young lady in the house cannot be revealed. However, it is different when it comes to Wang Yuanxiang and Bei Tangru. They can't wait to tell everyone when they meet! Of course, they will never use such a stupid method, but
Use more clever means.
Of course, Beitang Jin knew that once she was punished to kneel down in the ancestral hall and copy the "Girls' Ring", someone would catch her, so she would seize the opportunity and make her notorious before she would be willing to accept it. However, Helianshi had already made the final decision.
Punishment can never be taken back. In order to preserve one's reputation, one needs to find other methods.
Beitang Jin kowtowed deeply, his voice was extremely respectful, and his fearful look remained undiminished as he said: "Ajin thanks my grandmother for her generosity. I can't bear to punish Ajin severely, but I am willing to ask for punishment and ask my grandmother to grant her permission!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Bei Tangjin in extreme shock. They saw her lowering her head deeply and her face was pale. However, is this really fear and fear? This is clearly...
How can I apologize for it? And for just returning home late, such a punishment is already very heavy!
Helian looked in disbelief at Beitang Jin, who was worshiping devoutly in front of him, thinking that his ears had heard wrongly, and asked: "What kind of punishment do you want?"
Beitang Jin's voice was firm and he said: "Ajin is willing to pay five hundred ring feet to warn against today's loss!"
The punishment was enough to shock everyone, five hundred precepts! Everyone in the room thought they had heard wrong. If the punishment was fifty precepts, both hands would be broken. Bei Tangjin had to receive five hundred precepts, but his hands were still intact.
Or? Aren’t they going to be beaten into a pulp?
What's more, a woman's hands are so important. It would be so ugly to have her hands smashed and leave scars!
Everyone thought that Bei Tangjin was either crazy or had a brain problem, but she herself was extremely determined. When everyone was shocked and silent, she said again: "Grandma, please don't pity her! Since Ajin has made a mistake, please punish her."
!Ajin can afford these five hundred rulers!"
After being shocked, Wang Yuanxiang really wanted to laugh. Beitang Jin must be stupid. Five hundred rulers, both hands are useless. Not to mention playing the piano, even eating has to be done for him. Moreover, the Beitang family is a general, and his hands are useless.
It's the one holding the sword. If these hands are destroyed, her life will be destroyed. She is destroying her own future. Don't blame her!
Bei Tang Feng's eyes widened. He stared straight at Bei Tang Jin, trying to see through this person's heart. Was she going to be punished? Five hundred feet, even if Bei Tang Jin was a powerful martial artist, she probably wouldn't be able to endure it.
Get up! Does she really want to accept these five hundred precepts?
"Ajin, are you crazy? With five hundred rulers, your hands will be useless. How will you hold a sword in the future? How will you build a career? How will you get married!" Beitang Xun was afraid that his mother would agree to Beitang Jin's request, so he immediately said
, he didn't know at this time whether his daughter was frightened by the Helian family, or whether she was doing this on purpose, but she couldn't be beaten with five hundred rulers!
When Bei Tangjin heard Bei Tangxun's dissuasion, his heart became even colder. His father didn't feel sorry for her that she would be in pain if she received five hundred ring feet, but what he thought about was that she, Bei Tangjin, would become a waste in the future and would not be able to pave the way for his future career.
Got it!
When Nanny Qiu met Bei Tangjin for the first time, she felt that although the second young lady looked cold on the surface, she treated the old lady with great care, from the blue and white porcelain tea set she was given.
You can see it.
The second young lady is far away from the border and has never had sex under the old lady's knees. She doesn't understand the old lady's preferences at all. However, the tea set she sent is elegant and generous, which is what the old lady likes. In addition, this tea set
It also came from the Tang kiln of the previous dynasty, which made the old lady fall in love with her. It was an accident that she was attracted by the old lady's preferences. Then everything was in line with the old lady's wishes. I am afraid that the second lady was far away at the border.
I have ordered someone to carefully inquire about the old lady’s preferences, and then I carefully selected this blue and white porcelain tea set! And the gift was just right, which made up for the old lady’s regret and reluctance because the purple clay teapot was broken. This is the real gift.
So thoughtful!
Therefore, even though the old lady didn't like being interceded, she took the risk and said: "Old lady, the second lady is willing to waste her own hands to guard against the mistakes she made this time. It can be seen that the second lady is really
I know I was wrong, and I hope you can forgive me. If you really responded to the Second Miss in this way, wouldn’t you have really admitted the Second Miss’ unfilial reputation? As an official of the imperial court, if what happened today was accidentally revealed by someone unintentional,
If you tell anyone, won't the second lady's reputation and future be ruined?"
Of course, Aunt Qiu knew that Wang Yuanxiang was not really good to Beitang Jin, and if something like this happened today, once word spread, the Second Miss and the Beitang Mansion would be criticized.
Helian was shocked by what Bei Tangjin had just said about five hundred rulers. Now when she heard what Aunt Qiu said, she finally came to her senses. She was indeed furious today, but she had forgotten that once Bei Tangjin
It would indeed be bad for the Beitang family's reputation if they knelt in the ancestral hall and received the ordination rule. Besides, Beitang Jin was a popular figure at this time. If he made the slightest mistake, he would be quickly punished.
It was widely known that even if she really wanted to punish Bei Tangjin, she should avoid the limelight.
When she thought about all this, Helian sighed deeply, but still said coldly: "You came home late today and did not report to your aunt, which is a violation of the rules. The reason why I don't punish you today is because
You are indeed aware of your mistake, and secondly, for the sake of the reputation of the Beitang family, I am not reluctant to bear these five hundred rulers for you, but please remember that if you were not at the forefront of the storm at this time, I would never show mercy.
of!"
Helian scolded her fiercely, but she had actually calmed down a long time ago. She calmed down when Bei Tang Jin paid her five hundred ring feet for herself. She did not expect that this girl would take this mistake so seriously and care so much that she would not hesitate to suffer five hundred ring feet.
Bai Jie Chi serves as a warning, but she is the elder after all, so naturally she cannot give them a good look to avoid making the same mistake again.
Hearing this, Bei Tangjin finally breathed a sigh of relief. In this room, no one spoke for her, and no one reminded the Helian family that the Beitang family was at the forefront of the crisis. Once she, Bei Tangjin, was really punished,
Everyone is staring at the Beitang family at this time. Once there is any trouble, it is easy to be caught. Moreover, she, Beitang Jin, is not an ordinary person. Those censors are not just idlers. She is an official of the imperial court. If she really appears, it will be a big deal.
Those who are unfilial will be impeached by the officials, which is very detrimental to the Beitang family.
No one spoke for her, and she couldn't remind Helian herself. She could only come up with this way to shock Helian and remind her that the destruction of her hand would be the same result as the destruction of her reputation.
The Tang family has suffered a huge loss. Similarly, the fact that she can say such words also shows that she truly admits her mistake and is very firm.
She was betting on whether Helian could figure this out. After all, her reminder was very vague. But what she didn't expect was that Aunt Qiu actually spoke for her. And she was so sincere, at the risk of being
