Chapter 368 I heard that love in the Republic of China was always tragic (60)
Although Shen Junsheng said that he didn't care, after Shen Guiwu and Shen Qinghuan were no longer with Sheng Wu, he still barged into the main courtyard drunkenly.
"Young Master, if the master finds out about this, you'll be punished by family rules!" Gu Bai tried hard to stop Shen Junsheng. After all, he could see that the young master had an inappropriate look towards his wife.
"Get out of here!"
But Shen Junsheng's dark pupils were now filled with red. Having suffered the hatred of having his wife taken away once, he had no way to calm down. He shouted at Gu Bai and took out the pistol from his waist.
Pointing directly at Gu Bai’s eyebrows!
"Either get out of here, or I'll step over you!"
Seeing that he was serious, Gu Bai's heart skipped a beat. He was just worrying about how to deal with Shen Junsheng when a voice like the savior of Guanyin suddenly came from behind him.
"Gu Bai, let him in."
Hearing this, Gu Bai turned his head back instantly. Before he could feel happy, he remembered that Sheng Wu, a fragile girl, was staying in the same room with a wild and rough man like Shen Junsheng. He really didn't dare to take the risk.
"Madam, this won't do." He said with a bitter face.
Unexpectedly, Sheng Wu was not worried at all, and even persuaded him to let Shen Junsheng in.
"Don't worry, I believe Shen Junsheng is not impulsive enough to do anything."
Sheng Wu smiled faintly, glancing sideways at Shen Junsheng, who was standing in the sunset, with a deep gaze. Even a casual suit couldn't hide his muscular body. This was the first time she saw him wearing a suit, and beneath his suit and tie, he exuded the hormonal aura of a wild and rough man.
Hearing this, Gu Bai felt a headache and looked back at Shen Junsheng. Seeing that his eyes were red and he reeked of alcohol, it was hard to say what he was saying!
Finally, it was Sheng Wu who said that Gu Bai could watch the two of them talking in the back garden from afar. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could see their actions just in case. Only then did Gu Bai relent.
In the pavilion in the back garden.
Sheng Wu was still wearing the light pink pearl cheongsam, and the jade hairpin she originally used to tie her hair was taken away by Shen Qinghuan, who said that since her owner could not be with her, it was not excessive to take the hairpin to remind her of her.
So Sheng Wu had her thick, smooth, slightly curly long hair loose. She crossed her arms over her chest and looked up casually at the man in front of her who was more than a head taller than her.
She frowned slightly, and before Shen Junsheng could speak, "Sit down and talk. I don't want to look up at anyone."
Although she was asking for help, she sounded very confident in her command.
However, when Shen Junsheng heard this, he actually didn't say a word. He just glanced at Sheng Wu and sat down obediently on the stone bench.
But he was tall, about 1.9 meters, with a very good head-to-body ratio. His long legs could not be kept straight when he sat down, and needed to be slightly stretched out to sit properly.
Seeing that he was like an Alaskan, majestic yet obedient, Sheng Wu, who was standing gracefully against the pillar, looked much better. She smiled softly and was in a very good mood.
"Tell me, what's the matter with you?"
Shen Junsheng did not rush to speak, his cold gaze resting deeply on the light red cheongsam on her body, with a hint of reminiscence and desolation in his eyes. Obviously, he could see the same thing eight years ago.
After a moment of hesitation, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Sheng Wu and spoke.
"What do you want?"
A few streaks of scarlet blood crept up into the whites of Shen Junsheng's eyes. After a sleepless night, his deep eye sockets were stained with fatigue and darkness. His tall figure, sitting in a military posture, revealed a unique kind of decadent beauty.
"What do you want?"
Sheng Wu blinked, casually lifted her eyelids, and without covering up, she chuckled and curled her lips.
"Didn't I tell you that I don't need your help?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Junsheng's pupils moved slightly. He stared intently at Sheng Wu's beautiful eyes, and clenched his hands tightly, with the blue veins on the back of his hands looking particularly sexy and beautiful.
"Then why did you approach Qing Huan?"
Sheng Wu sneered, "What's it to you?"
"Qing Huan is aloof, arrogant, and tough. If you deceive her and take advantage of her, she's no more gentle than me. Don't play with fire and get burned."
Even if they don't want to admit it, the three brothers and sisters all have the shadow of Chen Guiwu. Chen Guiwu is not a good person, and they will not be easy to deal with either.
"Playing with fire will only get you burned..." Sheng Wu listened, but didn't care at all. "Wait until you get burned first."
Seeing that she didn't listen at all, Shen Junsheng's face choked and he didn't mention the matter again.
"Didn't you always say that you don't love anyone? Then why did you marry Chen Guiwu?"
The aura around Shen Junsheng was cold and low. He sat up and looked up, a faint red appeared at the corners of his eyes, and his black pupils were filled with complex emotions. His voice was calm and low, and was particularly cold as he spoke every word.
Sheng Wu slowly raised her beautiful eyes and looked at him, as if she was thinking seriously. Then, her seemingly affectionate gaze lacked a trace of warmth or emotion.
"Shen Junsheng, don't be so cheap. From the moment you took the initiative to find me, you lost the bargaining chip. I am the one who has the right to choose."
If Shen Junsheng had no feelings for her, he would not appear here at all. A young marshal fighting on the battlefield would not ask such humble questions about personal affairs.
After hearing her words, Shen Junsheng fell silent. His dark and cold eyes trembled, as if Sheng Wu had seen through his powerlessness and helplessness. He stared at Sheng Wu's determined expression.
"Hehehaha..." It turns out she knew that some people have won everything just by standing there.
Shen Junsheng suddenly lowered his head, his long feathery eyelashes covering the expression in his eyes, and he smiled like a clown with his lips pulled back.
"As expected, you are not her. She wouldn't be so cruel to me..." He sighed softly.
Then he sighed softly, hiding the emotions in his eyes, slowly raised his head, looked at Sheng Wu expressionlessly, and smiled.
"Okay, then I wish you a happy marriage."
Shen Junsheng looked at her deeply, his tone very slow, and every word he spoke was filled with indescribable sadness and heaviness.
After saying that, Shen Junsheng stood up and walked straight outside without asking any more questions.
The red in his eyes was more painful than the blood he shed on the battlefield.
Sheng Wu looked at his leaving back, her eyes slightly deep.
......
May 22, 1963.
Early in the morning, Chen Guiwu took Sheng Wu to the Wedding Customs Museum in Sijiu City to register for the marriage certificate.
Sheng Wu looked at the four golden characters "A Hundred Years of Happiness" written on the specially made red paper in front of her, raised her eyebrows, and turned to look at Chen Guiwu.
"I remember that marriage certificates are usually written on light yellow paper with black characters."
Chen Guiwu held her hand tightly, looked at the golden words on it, frowned and smiled softly.
"I had this specially made. The paint and paper can remain intact for a hundred years and are not afraid of fire or water." After a pause, he tightened his grip on Sheng Wu's hand, his deep pupils glowing with a soft light, and his lips slightly raised.
"I can't wait a hundred years for you, so I can only bury the marriage certificate with me. In heaven and hell, I will carry the memory of you with me and wait for your next life."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu's eyes moved and she looked at him in shock.
He said, wait for her next life.
Without waiting for her to say anything, Chen Guiwu picked up a brush with a vermilion-dyed body and dipped it in the same golden liquid as the one on the marriage certificate.
"Awu, this marriage certificate says: 'Two families unite in marriage, a pact is made in one hall, a marriage of good fortune is forever sealed, a match made in heaven. See the peach blossoms on this day, a perfect match for the family; predict that in the years to come, your offspring will flourish and you will prosper.' I write this promise of a lifetime together on this long piece of paper, so that our vow of love will be recorded in the book of love. This is my testimony."
Chen Guiwu recited the words above to Sheng Wu word by word with great clarity. After he finished speaking, he picked up the pen and wrote the two words "Chen Guiwu" under the "married person" in a very solemn and serious manner.
"The one getting married is Chen Guiwu." Chen Guiwu read it out, then handed the pen to Sheng Wu with a clear look in his eyes.
"Awu, after signing this marriage certificate, we will be real husband and wife."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu's eyes fell on the marriage certificate. It was quite novel as it was the first time she had written this thing.
She raised her eyes to meet Chen Guiwu's, smiled softly, and said softly.
"good."
After that, she took the pen from Shen Guiwu's hand and, following his example, wrote the word "Shengwu" below the name of the married person.
Seeing this, Chen Guiwu looked closely with gentle eyes. His pupils trembled and then he carefully picked up the marriage certificate and placed it carefully in a wooden box.
Then, Sheng Wu handed him a jade pendant.
"This is the token of love I give you." According to the custom in Sijiu City, the man and woman must exchange tokens of love on the day the marriage certificate is signed.
Chen Guiwu took over the extremely delicate and smooth jade stone, on which was engraved a flower, a cherry blossom.
Seeing this, Chen Guiwu raised his eyes and looked at Sheng Wu, his lips slightly curved.
"Thank you, Awu."
After a pause, he frowned, looking quite apologetic and ashamed.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to lie to you. The token of love I prepared for you isn't ready yet. It'll take some time. I don't want to just give you something casually, so I'll give it to you when I'm done, okay?"
"......" Sheng Wu smiled perfunctorily while casually picking up something. "It's okay, I trust you. It's the same if you give it to me after you finish it. After all, I want you."
Hearing this, Chen Guiwu was amused, and his elegant face became extremely gentle.
Then he took Sheng Wu back to the Chen residence.
The entire Chen residence was decorated in red. Since Sheng Wu no longer had any connection with the opera troupe and had no parents, she wanted to marry directly from the courtyard farthest from the main courtyard.
Shen Guiwu carried her on his back and walked step by step to the main courtyard.
The courtyard farthest from the main courtyard was originally Shen Junsheng's courtyard, but Shen Junsheng had closed the door tightly and did not want to see anyone.
Therefore, this task fell on Shen Qinghuan's courtyard.
The matchmaker and Chunxi were preparing to put makeup on Shengwu, who had already changed into her wedding dress, but they were confused about what to put on.
"Hey, Madam, your face is too perfect. If you put on rouge, it will cover up this beauty. But if you don't put on makeup, it won't be ceremonial enough."
Sheng Wu sat in front of the dressing table, but Shen Qinghuan didn't want to watch and wanted to lock herself up like Shen Junsheng.
But after struggling for a while, she still chose to come and see Sheng Wu.
As soon as she stepped into the door, Shen Qinghuan, who was used to light-colored neutral clothes but changed into a light pink dress today, heard these words.
"What's wrong?"
She slowly walked towards Sheng Wu, who was standing opposite her but was hidden by the dressing table. As she got closer, she raised her eyes and saw a beautiful bride sitting there in a bright red traditional wedding dress, as beautiful as a peach blossom.
Coincidentally, Sheng Wu also heard her voice, turned around and looked over, and the two of them looked at each other in an instant.
There was a hint of stunning luster in Shen Qinghuan's cold eyes. She stared at Sheng Wu in a daze, whose eyes were even more charming than before, and walked over without moving her eyes.
Chunxi said, "Miss, the bride's face is already very beautiful. The matchmaker and I both think that putting makeup on her would make her look even less beautiful. However, according to custom, rouge must be applied to the bride's face."
Hearing this, Shen Qinghuan walked over step by step. She approached Sheng Wu and lowered her head to look at her face which was particularly beautiful today. She was obviously only nineteen years old and had not yet fully grown up, but when she raised her eyes, she was full of radiant beauty.
"Let me do it. I saw other people putting on trendy makeup when I was studying abroad. I think I can try it."
"Ah?" The matchmaker was stunned.
But Shen Qinghuan didn't care at all. She reached out and took the rouge from the matchmaker's hand. She lowered her eyes and spoke coldly in a tone that did not allow for refusal.
"Chunxi, you and the matchmaker go see if father is coming. Take the other maids in my yard and think about how to block the door. Today, you can ask for a red envelope from father based on your ability. The more festive the better. Father won't blame you."
Hearing this, Chunxi was excited, "Miss, are you serious?"
She was not a greedy person, but seeing that the eldest lady seemed to want to send her away to say something to the lady, she naturally would not give her face.
then.
"Then Miss, the matchmaker and I will leave first."
Chunxi took the matchmaker out directly and closed the door considerately. After all, the eldest lady and the lady had a very good relationship, and they might have said some private words between girls.
