Chapter 214 Drinking
However, as time passed, they waited anxiously, but the long-awaited announcement never came.
"Could it be that these children have been away from home for so long that they have forgotten where their own residence is?" Lord Gu couldn't help but mutter to himself.
Lord Gu, standing to the side, was also extremely anxious. If it weren't for his status, he probably would have gone out to search for them himself long ago.
And so, the two marquises waited from sunrise to sunset, and from nightfall to the slow closing of the inner city gates, but in the end, they still did not see the figure of the person they longed for appear.
Su Yue, Dali, and Gu Yuan ordered a large table of dishes in the private room of the largest restaurant on West Street.
While Gu Yuan wasn't looking, Su Yue secretly took out a small jar of wine from her spatial storage.
"Yuan! Come and taste my wine! Let me tell you all about it. This wine is so good, it's worth more than a thousand pieces of gold!"
With a smile on her face, Su Yue skillfully picked up the wine pot and poured a full glass of wine for Gu Yuan, who was sitting at the table.
Then, she filled Dali's glass to the brim, and finally poured a little wine into her own glass.
Gu Yuan was initially somewhat skeptical of Su Yue's words. After all, he had done business with several of his uncles and was quite knowledgeable. What kind of fine wine hadn't he tasted?
He had heard of many so-called top-tier wines that were priceless, but they were often just overrated.
However, the moment the lid of the wine jar was lifted, a rich, mellow, and intoxicating aroma instantly filled the air.
Just by smelling the enticing aroma of the wine, Gu Yuan immediately realized that he had probably been far too shallow and ignorant this time.
"Come on, let's have a drink together!" Su Yue was full of excitement, raising her glass high and gesturing to Dali beside her.
The two waited together as Gu Yuan quickly raised his glass to toast them and drink together.
But to everyone's surprise, Gu Yuan seemed completely captivated by the enticing aroma of the wine in front of him, staring intently at the glass without reacting for a long time.
"Yuan! What are you looking at? Stop daydreaming and come over here to raise your glass!" Seeing Gu Yuan looking a bit lost in thought, Su Yue couldn't help but reach out and gently nudge him with her elbow.
Startled awake by the sudden stab, Gu Yuan came to his senses as if waking from a dream.
"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, I'm coming right now, I'm coming right now..." While apologizing, Gu Yuan carefully reached out to pick up the wine glass on the table, afraid of accidentally spilling a single drop of wine.
Three glasses clinked gently together in the air, producing a crisp, melodious sound: "Cheers!" With this shout, the three of them tilted their heads back and drank it all in one gulp.
"Mmm~ It really is good wine!" After taking only a small sip, Su Yue couldn't help but squint her eyes and savor the long and mellow taste in her mouth.
After the wine slid slowly down her throat and into her stomach, she felt a lingering fragrance in her mouth.
What's even more remarkable is that when you savor it, you can't taste any bitterness at all.
"This wine is truly priceless! Such a mellow and smooth wine with a long aftertaste, what is it called? And how did you buy it?"
My uncles and I have been doing business away from home for many years and have tasted countless fine wines, but this is the first time in our lives we have encountered such a fine wine!
Gu Yuan carefully held the wine glass, reluctant to gulp it down, but instead taking a small sip and savoring it slowly, afraid of wasting this fine wine.
"Haha, this wine is something you can't buy even if you have all the gold and silver you have! As for its name, it hasn't been chosen yet." Su Yue had only taken a small sip when she already felt dizzy and her cheeks were flushed.
You should know that this wine has been stored in the space for several years, and spiritual spring water has been added during that time.
Therefore, its potency is incomparable to that of ordinary wines.
Then look at Dali, that girl. She only drank one cup, but now she's slumped on the table, unconscious, with a dazed look in her eyes, and muttering some unintelligible words.
"Yuan'er! Tell me quickly, what does this wine taste like?" Su Yue stood up unsteadily, put one foot directly on the stool, and then poured herself another full cup of wine with great fanfare.
"Come on, cheers!" Su Yue raised her glass high, her face beaming with excitement and joy, and shouted at the top of her lungs.
Seeing this, Gu Yuan, who was sitting to the side, quickly reached out one hand, raised the wine glass in front of him, and quickly grabbed Su Yue's arm tightly with the other hand.
They were worried that Su Yue might lose her balance and fall to the ground.
"Alright, alright, cheers! But you should sit down quickly, just be careful not to fall." Gu Yuan first took a small sip of wine.
Then he slowly put down his wine glass, and then very gently helped Su Yue back to her chair.
Just then, Su Yue suddenly leaned forward and immediately noticed that Gu Yuan's glass still had more than half a glass of wine left.
So she frowned and said with some dissatisfaction, "Hey! Little Yuanzi, are you raising fish here? Look at my wine glass, and then look at yours."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuan looked completely bewildered. He had no idea what Su Yue meant by "raising fish."
At this moment, Su Yue's mind began to become confused, and even her originally bright and beautiful eyes gradually began to show double images.
"Huh! That's strange... How come there are two little Yuanzi..." Before she could finish speaking, Su Yue's body swayed and she fell heavily onto the table with a thud.
A series of sounds immediately followed, indicating that they had already fallen into a sweet dream.
"Young Master, Young Master..." Gu Yuan called out softly twice, but there was no response.
He couldn't help but frown slightly, and cautiously moved closer to check, only to be surprised to find that Su Yue had become so drunk that she was unconscious at some point.
Gu Yuan has always been cautious in his actions. From the moment he stepped into Shangdu, he regarded himself as Su Yue's personal maid.
Even when no one was around, he addressed Su Yue in private the same way, without daring to make the slightest difference.
Seeing Su Yue's state, he first shook his head helplessly, smiled gently, and then carefully put the wine jar back on, afraid that the aroma of the wine would dissipate and waste the good wine.
Then, Gu Yuan spent a great deal of effort to help Su Yue and Dali, who was also drunk and staggering, to their feet.
