Chapter 130 He Can't
Cui Si raised her hand and had two jars of wine brought over. "I know you like wine. This is the fine wine I had made. It's stronger and more mellow than ordinary wine. Would you like to try it?"
The so-called pure wine is actually the wine after distillation and purification. This wine has a higher concentration, is white and colorless, has a mellow taste, and is spicier and stronger.
In today's era, it is a rare good thing.
Cui Si asked Jiang Cinian to open the wine jar and then poured a glass for Baili Boqin.
Baili Boqin sniffed it carefully, tasted it, squinted his eyes, and praised: "Not bad wine."
Cui Si saw that he was in a good mood, so she said, "Old man, as for this wine, besides my people, I guess no one else knows how to make it. You see, I often have good wine to offer you, isn't it good?"
"Of course, you are well-informed. If you know how it is done, please don't mind me showing off my skills."
Baili Boqin raised an eyebrow: "Are you bribing me?"
"Don't say it so harshly. It's clearly a show of respect for you."
“Does it make any difference?”
"The difference is that honoring you is a sincere gesture from the younger generation, while bribes mean you have to do the job. Also, if an official accepts a bribe, he is committing a crime and will be dismissed and imprisoned."
"Tell me yourself whether this is a tribute or a bribe."
Baili Boqin: "......"
It's amazing that he couldn't even win an argument with a young lady.
Did he live all those years in vain?
Jiang Cinian almost couldn't hold back his laughter when he saw him being humiliated.
Bailiboqin glanced at him and asked him to pour him a glass of wine.
Jiang Cinian had no choice but to pour him some wine.
Cui Si didn't insist. Seeing that Baili Boqin was in a much better mood after drinking two glasses of wine, she asked him, "Do you really not agree to this marriage?"
"You should be able to see that I'm a reasonable person. I will definitely show respect to my elders. I won't make it difficult for you or him. It's so nice for our family to live in harmony."
Baili Boqin said, "It's not that I disagree, but this kid is the heir of my Medicine King Valley. He will accompany me to travel the world and inherit the Medicine King Valley. I'm afraid he can't stay in one place for long."
Cui Si said, "I've been thinking about this on the way here, but it's really not a big deal."
Baili Boqin: “?!”
Isn’t this a big deal?
Cui Si said, "Medicine King Valley has been razed to the ground. I've also heard about this from Mr. Jiang. You mean to rebuild Medicine King Valley? That's easy. Just choose a location in Xianyang City. If you like that spot, I can help you get it done, as long as it's not too difficult."
"Medicine King Valley is already built in Xianyang, so isn't that the problem solved? If I like it there, I can live there too. If not, just let Mr. Jiang go home at night."
"As for your suggestion of traveling around the world and practicing medicine to save lives, that's easy too. I have no objection if he goes out every two or three years and comes back after a year or two."
"Do I look like someone who needs a husband by my side all the time and can't live without him?"
Baili Boqin: "......"
Baili Boqin was speechless for a moment.
I really can't argue with it.
"Then what are you trying to do?"
Yeah, what’s the point?
Apart from his good looks and medical skills, Jiang Cinian doesn't seem to have any other advantages.
Cui Si smiled and said, "I want to live a quiet and peaceful life. Mr. Jiang is handsome and has a good temperament. He is tolerant and patient in dealing with people and things. His heart is pure and clear. When I am with him, I always feel that the years are peaceful, the soul is at peace, and my life is without regrets."
If I could have another child, I would have no regrets.
Jiang Cinian felt a little uncomfortable when she praised him like this.
Baili Boqin had a headache. If she met another woman and she said something that made her unhappy, she would probably be unhappy and leave angrily. But she happened to meet Cui Si.
She is calm and wise, and she can reason and judge right from wrong. Even if a difficult problem is thrown at her, she can find a solution. You say that Jiang Cinian is not a good person and is not worthy of her, but she says that she wants to live a quiet and peaceful life.
She was the daughter of the Cui family and the princess of Northern Yan. She didn't need to get married to add glory to herself. She just needed to follow her heart and find someone she liked and felt she could get along with happily.
She is not one of those women who are infatuated with Jiang Cinian's face and whose minds are filled with love. What she wants to live is life, and what she chooses is the person to live with.
Baili Boqin thought and thought, but she couldn't come up with a reason to give up. Finally, she simply broke the jar and said, "Even if this boy is suitable for you and has a thousand good qualities, but there is one bad thing, he is not worthy of you."
"What's wrong with that?" Cui Si asked him.
She didn't know that Jiang Cinian had some flaws that made him unworthy of her.
Could it be that he was having affairs with countless women? Or even had a child?
"He can't do it." Bailiboqin threw this out.
Cui Si: "??"
Jiang Cinian: “?!”
Everyone present: "!!!"
No, how could this good boy fail?
Everyone turned their eyes to Jiang Cinian.
"Master!" Jiang Chenian was angry. "Even if you don't want to agree to this marriage, you can't say such words!"
What do you mean he can't do it?
Jiang Cinian was so angry that his face turned black.
"What do you mean I'm talking nonsense?" Baili Boqin insisted, "I just can't bear to tell you, young man. But now, the young lady wants to marry you, and you can't let her marry you blindly. Wouldn't that hurt her?"
Baili Boqin thought, even if he could do it, he would not be able to do it, so he quickly got away.
What kind of wife should I marry?
He was destined to live out his life alone, and it was already good enough for him to have a few disciples who were filial to him.
"Alright, Madam Cui, I've made everything clear to you. Let's just call it a day on your marriage with this boy."
"Master!" Jiang Chenian's face turned grim. "Let's talk it over first. We can discuss this matter later. Sixth Lady, go back first. I'll talk to Master."
Cui Si stood up and said goodbye: "Then I will go back first."
Although she didn't believe that "Jiang Cinian is not suitable", Baili Boqin obviously didn't dislike her, but she just didn't agree with this marriage and insisted on breaking them up, and even gave the reason of "not being able to do it".
It seems that there may be something that is difficult to express, but is indeed standing between her and Jiang Cinian.
In that case, let the master and disciple talk it out among themselves.
Cui Si ordered people to put down the gifts, and then left with everyone.
As soon as he left, Jiang Cinian walked back and forth under the tree several times with a dark face, and the more he thought about it, the darker his face became.
Baili Boqin sat in his seat, drinking, and was dizzy from being shaken by him: "Okay, stop shaking. If you are in a bad mood, come and have a few drinks with me."
"Why?" Jiang Cinian stopped and asked him.
"What why?"
"Why can't you agree that I can be with Sixth Lady?"
