Chapter 255 Wedding 7
The two of them just sneaked out.
After finding a tavern, Shen Baoqing was so bold that he ordered two jars of Lihuabai.
"One jar for you, one for me." She placed the jar of wine in front of Jiang Yueyao. "If you don't want to drink, you don't have to. Just watch me drink."
"Risk your life to accompany my sister." Jiang Yueyao rolled up her sleeves, with a desperate expression on her face, "Let's make a deal first, after drinking today, you forget everything you should forget. You can choose not to get married, but don't think about the person you can't have anymore."
Shen Baoqing smiled lightly: “Okay, I promise you!”
Four side dishes and a jar of wine for each person. Except for the first glass which was hard to swallow, she gradually got used to the strong taste of the pear blossom white liquor. The flavor brought back the same energy and bravery she had when she was in Su City and she chased a scoundrel for several blocks with a stick after he stayed at the inn without paying.
But after two glasses of wine, she started to feel dizzy.
After four cups, the person slumped over the table, calling out, "Husband...husband...where is my husband?"
“Hehehe…” Shen Baoqing was also drunk.
She kept laughing foolishly: "What's the meaning of 'husband'? Men are nothing!"
When he said this, Xuan Ji happened to pass by.
The two of them were sitting right by the window at the corner of the street. He had just come out of Minister Li's house in the east and turned the corner when he heard a familiar scolding. He paused and looked over to see Shen Baoqing drinking.
Seeing her in a state of disarray, pouring wine from the glass into her mouth, Xuan Ji frowned slightly.
But he didn't move, just stood there on the corner.
A breeze blew, fluttering his robes. The rustling sound made him feel a little irritated.
The girl's coquettish voice continued to be heard.
"What sin have I committed? Why did I fall in love with that bald donkey of his?"
"She's pretty, but what's the point? She can't give me anything..."
"Yaoyao, do you know? I've been with him for two years. During these two years, I've poured my heart and soul into him, and he hasn't felt it at all."
Jiang Yueyao's voice came.
"Sister, you are wrong. Anyone who is a human will feel it."
"But he's a monk, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple. How do you expect him to respond to you?"
"Does he dare to respond?"
"He became a monk, detached from the world, free from all ties. You insisted on pestering him, and now you are suffering, and you brought this suffering upon yourself."
Jiang Yueyao's words were a bit harsh.
But how can I make her sober if it’s not serious?
Shen Baoqing suddenly stopped talking.
Yaoyao is right!
Now all this hardship that she has to endure is her own fault.
Knowing that it is impossible, she still insists on liking and clinging to it. If not her, who else will suffer?
"No more talking, let's drink!"
She poured herself another glass and clinked glasses with Jiang Yueyao. "After I finish this glass, I will try to like someone else."
Jiang Yueyao shook her head.
"Don't force yourself. It doesn't matter if you don't like it, sister. I just want you to be happy and stay with us safely. Don't leave us again. That's all!"
Shen Baoqing suddenly buried his face in his arms and burst into tears.
"Am I too willful?" Back then, I left without a word, for a man... no! For a monk. I didn't go home for two years.
I didn't think about my family, I only thought about myself.
Extremely selfish!
Jiang Yueyao looked at her. At this moment, she didn't want to go along with her anymore. People always have to grow up, right?
"In this matter, you are not only willful, but also do things without considering the consequences."
"You have no idea how sad our mother was when she saw the letter you left behind."
"At that time, she hadn't even remembered me. You were her only daughter. She suddenly left home and ran away with a monk. No one could bear this."
"And my grandmother was so worried that she fell ill. Shen Baoqing, she loves you so much..."
"My father was so angry and anxious that he felt like he had more gray hair overnight."
"I was just found, and you left again. When will we be truly reunited?"
"More importantly, you didn't consider your own reputation at all. If it weren't for your father's efforts to suppress the news, the outside world wouldn't have known a single thing."
"Otherwise, the day you return to Beijing, you'll be drowned in spit."
"People's words are scary, Shen Baoqing. You are used to being reckless and you may not care, but what about your parents?"
"Our father, Duke Shen, who protected Mobei and achieved great things, is respected by the people... Have you ever considered him?"
Shen Baoqing had already burst into tears.
At the time, I was impulsive and passionate and just followed Xuan Ji.
In the past two years, her heart and eyes were filled with Xuan Ji, and she had never thought about her family in Beijing.
Even now, at the moment when her memory was restored, she was still thinking of Xuan Ji.
At this moment, being gently criticized by Jiang Yueyao, she finally realized how inappropriate and hateful her behavior was!
"I know I was wrong..."
"What's important isn't that you know you're wrong, but that you turn back quickly and stop being stubborn!"
"Qingqing, you don't have to get married. Your parents can support you."
"I will support you after our parents are a hundred years old!"
"But don't be obsessed with your feelings for Xuan Ji anymore."
"He has his mission, and you have your life."
"It's never too late to turn back. We've been waiting for you!"
Lu Sui was the first to arrive.
He came on horseback, turned the corner, and saw a familiar figure disappear at another corner.
The figure is desolate, lonely and resolute.
Lu Sui withdrew his gaze, dismounted from his horse, and walked into the tavern.
Jiang Yueyao is already drunk.
When she saw him coming, she smiled at him foolishly: "Huh? Isn't this my handsome and rich husband?"
Lu Sui walked over with a dark face and pulled the man up from the chair.
Because he was very angry, he was very angry.
Jiang Yueyao's expression changed: "Oh, murder! My husband has killed someone."
"Shut up!" He picked the man up and was about to go out when Shen Baoqing rushed over and hugged his thighs.
"No, no, you can't steal my Yaoyao..."
Lu Sui's face turned even darker.
Fortunately, Shen Linchuan also arrived, pulled the drunk sister over, carried her on his back, and put her on the carriage.
After sobering up the next day.
One was confined to his house by his parents for half a month.
One was punished by her husband for half a month.
From then on, the two never dared to act recklessly again.
But after that day, Shen Baoqing never mentioned Xuan Ji again.
She had a long talk with her parents, expressing her unwillingness to marry and her loss of the ability to love.
Bai Jinyu hugged her and cried for a while, then agreed.
Shen Huaishan was afraid that she would be too bored, so he opened a martial arts school for her and only recruited female disciples.
She put all her heart into it and taught seriously. Many noble families sent their young girls to learn kung fu from her, for the purpose of self-defense and strengthening their bodies, achieving the best of both worlds.
Later, the martial arts school gradually grew and she opened two more schools.
The reputation is very good.
At first, some people were wondering why she hadn't gotten married at such an old age?
Gradually, after her martial arts school became bigger, no one talked about these things anymore.
What does it matter whether you get married or not?
Just live happily and with confidence.
Who says women must get married?
