Qin Su twirled the wine glass in his hand, seemingly casually turning his head to look at Mo Lan beside him, "How is your alcohol tolerance? If you can't hold your liquor, you can drink in moderation, and Brother Jiang and I will not blame you."
"Brother Qin is right. Although Mo Lan is bold and unrestrained, she is still a girl after all. Please do as you please. Brother Qin and I will drink until we drop."
Jiang Mian looked at Mo Lan with a gentle and kind smile.
Mo Lan picked up her wine glass and curled the corners of her lips. "Although I wouldn't dare say I can drink a thousand cups without getting drunk, it's okay to have a few more."
The alcohol content of wines during this period was generally not high. Mo Lan traveled all over the country and tried many different kinds. As long as you don't drink too much, there won't be any problems.
Besides, she's never tasted strong liquor before, so why would she be afraid of a little bit of flower wine?
Qin Su's eyes flickered when he heard Mo Lan's arrogant tone, but he said nothing more.
Jiang Mian, standing to the side, waved his hand at her, saying, "Mo Lan's high tolerance for alcohol is certainly good, but my wine is quite rare. You should just have a small sip."
He raised his glass to the two men, saying, "It's fate that we've met, I'll drink to that first."
As the host, Jiang Mian drank three cups in a row to show his respect. Qin Su and Mo Lan were not to be outdone and drank three cups together as well.
After three cups of wine, even the air was filled with a rich aroma of alcohol.
"This is truly fine wine, with a lingering fragrance. It's a rare find. Brother Jiang, you're really biased. Why haven't you brought it out before?" Mo Lan poured herself another cup, her tone quite dissatisfied.
"Hehe... Mo Lan, please don't be offended. You used to always arrive suddenly in the middle of the night. It's best to have tea at this hour. Also, I've been burying these wines under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, and I just dug them up."
Seeing that Mo Lan liked it, Jiang Mian couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. This girl always acted like a thief; what could he do?
"Alright, it's my bad timing. Let's have a good drink." Mo Lan said, pouring herself a full glass of wine, tilting her head back and drinking it down. The aroma of the wine filled her throat, making her mouth feel even smoother.
"Mo Lan is so generous. I'll drink with you. Luckily, I still have a few jars left. I'll give you two jars later as an apology."
"Ha~, that's great, thank you very much." Mo Lan raised her glass in a gesture of appreciation, enjoying the fine wine and delicious food like a noble young master.
Qin Su, watching the two chatting so amiably, had a deep look in his eyes. He hadn't expected them to be so familiar with each other. This woman was usually so cold to him, never saying an extra word.
Now, when facing Jiang Mian, they act like two old friends, very casually.
Qin Su took a sip of wine and couldn't help but frown. The osmanthus wine, which had been so fragrant just moments before, now tasted somewhat bitter.
Looking at the two men's gentle and cheerful expressions, Qin Su suddenly felt a surge of irritation. She thought of getting up to leave, but then felt that she was making a mountain out of a molehill. So she poured herself a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp to dispel the irritation in her heart.
Jiang Mian seemed oblivious to Qin Su's unusual behavior, maintaining his gentle and polite smile and fulfilling his duties as host perfectly.
To create a relaxed and casual atmosphere, Jiang Mian dismissed the servants and personally took charge of the hospitality.
Before long, after several rounds of drinks and dishes, the three of them got into a daze and completely let loose. The more they disliked each other, the more they wanted to get the other drunk.
As you can imagine, the scene was incredibly intense. In short, an hour later, there were seven or eight wine jars on the table alone.
The three people sitting opposite each other had slightly flushed faces and clear eyes, and none of them showed the slightest sign of drunkenness.
