Chapter 3: Vastness

Huan'er, the little girl whom Shen Qian Cai first encountered, is Yan Zhiqi's maid of honor. Therefore, in terms of address, there are still some adjustments to be made.

This scene left everyone astonished, as they watched Yan Zhiqing's remarkable feat without blinking. No one doubted whether she was drinking alcohol, for just the strong aroma of the liquor allowed them to determine that it was definitely three times stronger than the drink Shen Qian Cai had just consumed.

The sweet and spicy liquor rushed down his throat, making Shen Qian Cai feel more invigorated than chugging carbonated drinks. In a moment of carelessness, he choked several times, but the fire within him was not extinguished. He wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve and continued to drink, until he had consumed every last drop from the large bowl of liquor. Only then did he, with a flushed face, look down at Yan Zhiqi, turning the bowl upside down without a single drop spilling. The smug expression on his face was utterly infuriating.

Although curious as to why a woman would enjoy reading military books, Shen Qian Cai did not dwell on it. Instead, he quietly gazed at the beauty who claimed to be his wife, admiring her rosy little lips. Recalling her earlier address of "my husband," Shen Qian Cai's imagination ran wild, and he couldn't help but stick out his tongue to moisten his dry lips, his heart filled with immense anticipation for what would transpire that evening

Yan Zhiqing said, as she took a large sea bowl from the hand of a young maid behind her, then poured all the wine from the wine jug into the sea bowl, lifted it up, and handed it to Shen Qian Cai

Everyone naturally agreed with www.hetushu.com, and Shen Qian Cai was extremely pleased as he picked up his small wine cup, just about to stand up to toast everyone. However, at that moment, his wife suddenly pressed down on his hand and replaced his wine cup with a cup of tea

Shen Qian Cai indeed enjoyed a hearty meal; this table was filled with an abundance of fish and meat. However, in his previous life, he could only savor such delicacies during banquets, and even then, the quality of the food was inferior compared to that of this ancient era, lacking in flavor and tenderness.

If someone is truly playing with me, I hope that after tonight, you will come forward to mock me again

I lost

"Enough, enough, it's all known now. The past is the past, and what is forgotten will be remembered one by one. You are my aunt, you are my good buddy Fat Jiu, you are my third uncle, you are my sixth aunt. Alright, I have remembered everything. Is that enough? Can you let me go now? I am hungry; can you let me have something to eat?"

Is it really that someone has arranged this? Is it to play with oneself?

Shen Qian Cai looked at Yan Zhi Qi, who was sitting quietly in the corner of the study. After entering, she merely greeted him casually and then paid no further attention to Shen Qian Cai. Instead, she took a military book and began to peruse it on her own in the study.

You have even forgotten me, so you surely cannot remember the wager. However, a wager is still a wager. If you wish to drink, you must first finish this bowl!

"Good!" exclaimed Pang Jiutou, clapping his hands excitedly

After Shen Qian, with a calm demeanor, took his seat with the *illustrated* book, everyone began to eat and chat merrily. However, many of the women, as aunts and relatives, still felt sorrowful about Shen Yujia's amnesia.

However, Yan Zhiqing deliberately wore a cold expression, as if she owed her several million in her past life

The aunt was speaking passionately, and upon hearing her, the people nearby gathered around Shen Qian Cai, chattering incessantly. Shen Qian Cai was so annoyed that he almost wanted to reveal the truth to this group of individuals

What Yan Zhiqing said, how did Shen Qian Cai hear it, and why did it sound harsh? What does a lifetime mean? Am I, a dignified man, really inferior to you, a woman?

Hearing Shen Qian's somewhat annoying voice, everyone gradually returned to their seats. Many of them had just attended Shen Yujia's wedding and had not yet had the chance to leave. Now that Shen Yujia was in this state, as family members, they felt very sad, but it was certainly much better than witnessing him lose consciousness yesterday.

"It's nothing, you may continue with your grand dreams of spring and autumn." Yan Zhiqing's expression suddenly turned extremely cold, and she no longer paid any attention to Shen Qian Cai, turning to leave the study.

"You are indeed someone who can remain calm and composed after I perform a vast array of feats, and you dare to challenge me! Well done, you truly deserve to be my wife," Shen Qian Cai said with a drunken smile.

When Shen Qian Cai finally relaxed, he discovered that there was only one seat reserved for him, and beside that seat sat the stunningly beautiful woman, his wife Yan Zhi Qi.

What does this mean? Shen Qian Cai looked at Yan Zhi Qi with confusion

"This is what you said; today I will turn the tables on you. Shall we compete again? Do you dare to accept?" As Shen Qian Cai's anger flared up, he disregarded whether he would still be sober after downing this bowl. He immediately picked up the large bowl, stood up, and gulped down several big mouthfuls.

What a vast amount, Yu Jia! The others also laughed in response

Immediately afterwards, when he and the others saw Yan Zhiqing snatch a jar of wine from Huan'er, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Yan Zhiqing opened the lid, parted her red lips, and began to gulp down the wine from the jar.

Shen Qian Cai seemed to return from a state of reverie, blinking his eyes, wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, and awkwardly smiling as he asked, "What? What does it mean?"

During dinner, Shen Qian Cai, led by the little girl, arrived at the hall and saw that two large round wooden tables were surrounded by people. As he entered, everyone fixed their gaze on him and whispered among themselves. Shen Qian Cai perked up his ears to listen and couldn't help but smile wryly, as these people were actually saying that he had a problem with his head

With a jar of wine emptied, Yan Zhiqing calmly set down the wine jar without a hint of blush or a racing heart. Her cold gaze fixed on Shen Qian Cai, and with a slight smile revealing two dimples, she said: "It's your turn!"

Yan Zhiqing suddenly let out a cold laugh, stood up to meet Shen Qian Cai's gaze, and instructed her servant, "Huan'er, bring the wine here"

What is the bet on www.hetushu.com? What kind of bet is it? Shen Qian Cai is certainly not a fool. Although the alcoholic beverages in ancient times may not have been strong, after consuming this bowl, even if his stomach does not bleed, he will surely be incapacitated. In that case, tonight's affair cannot be carried out

"Come, come, come, in honor of Brother Yu Jia's resurrection, shall we all raise a glass to him?" Pang Jiu suddenly stood up and said with a hearty laugh

It is Miss!

Now that he has finished watching Yan Zhiqing's performance, he understands why Shen Yujia lost. Didn't he see the dimples on Xiao Ming's star-like face? Just one dimple can rival a whole jar of wine; this is simply not a competition of the same level

Shen Qian Cai suddenly felt an ominous premonition. Looking at Xiao Ming's star-like demeanor, it was clear that he did not resemble a husband at all; rather, he appeared to be facing a rogue. In a previous life, this would have been inconsequential, as women were full of personality. However, in this ancient society, there were the principles of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues. Although Shen Qian Cai did not know what the Three Obediences and Four Virtues specifically entailed, he understood that this was a feudal society characterized by male superiority and female subservience. As a wife, one absolutely dared not go against her husband's wishes. In this ancient society, there were indeed the principles of the Three Obediences and Four Virtues.

Abandoning his pitiful pride, the effects of the alcohol immediately broke through the final barrier, and Shen Qian Cai suddenly rolled his eyes back, collapsing to the ground with a thud

In a state of helplessness, Shen Qian Cai could only shake his head. Immediately, the aunt's eyes glistened with tears as she held Shen Qian Cai's hand, persistently recounting stories from his childhood.

Shen Qian Cai felt a bit heavy-headed and really wanted to sit down and rest immediately, but he was afraid of losing face. Therefore, he forced himself to hold on and cupped his hands towards the crowd, saying: "Thank you for your support! I may not have other skills, but I can certainly drink!"

A fortnight ago, when you came through the door, you and I made a bet on who could drink more. The loser would have to agree to one request from the winner. As it turned out, you lost, and I made you promise not to drink alcohol again unless you could outdrink me. However, without the practice of drinking, you can forget about ever winning against me in this lifetime!

Yujia, do you still remember Aunt? You have been raised by Aunt since you were little, so you must not forget her. A woman around fifty years old walked up to Shen Qian Cai, holding his hand and asking.

In the face of such a formidable woman, even ten Shen Qian Cai would not be a match. That bowl just now could have taken him out in an instant; the only reason he hasn't fallen yet is due to matters of face, forcing himself to hold on.

With one hand propping up his chin, Shen Qian Cai was lost in endless fantasies, staring blankly at Yan Zhi Qi. He did not know how much time had passed when suddenly, Yan Zhi Qi stood up and walked to the bookshelf. After placing the military books back, she looked at Shen Qian Cai and revealed two small dimples, saying: "It seems that even with amnesia, you still haven't changed your stubborn ways!"

Can drink! Hmph

Recalling Yan Zhiqing's expression just now, Shen Qian Cai couldn't help but think of his initial considerations. If he truly had traveled back to ancient times, Yan Zhiqing's demeanor was rather unconventional, wasn't it

As Yan Zhiqing's throat convulsed, a "gurgling" sound emerged, startling everyone into instinctively swallowing their saliva.
