Raising a wife? The mistress of the Hou family divorced and remarried her younger uncle

Chapter 277 Smile
Lu Jing was taken aback, somewhat surprised, but even more delighted. He hadn't expected Su Qingwan to take his hand so readily, and not mind that his hands were dirty.

Xiao Wu... is he also a little bit attracted to him?
After washing up and tidying themselves up, the two sat in the pavilion. Lu Jing asked, "I don't know the customs of Huainan. Is it permissible to drink alcohol?"

"If my ancestors could drink alcohol, then naturally I can too."

The maids had already filled the wine jugs. As soon as Su Qingwan sat down, she smelled the fragrance of peonies, an extremely rich peony scent, as if it were the peony season. It was also mixed with a strong yet gentle aroma of wine. She felt slightly tipsy from the smell.

"smell good!"

“It was brewed by the best winemaker, and it’s really fragrant,” Lu Jing said. “He’s from Jiangnan. He used to brew wine for the palace. But the palace was full of complicated and dangerous affairs, so he had to resign and go home. I helped him. Before he left, he gave me a gift. I heard that he had a jar of wine in Jiangnan that was worth a thousand gold pieces.”

"After hearing you praise it so highly, I have to try it."

Lu Jing poured her a glass of wine. The aroma of the wine was strong, and the liquid was pale yellow, like the yellow of osmanthus flowers floating on the bottom of water. Served in Ru porcelain, it was incredibly beautiful.

"Let's take a look."

Su Qingwan took a sip, raised her eyebrows slightly. She had never drunk peony wine before. The aroma and fragrance of the wine were both delightful, and the taste was wonderful. She liked it very much and drank it all in one gulp.

"Delicious!" Su Qingwan exclaimed readily. "I'll have another one!"

Lu Jing shook his head, "This wine has a particularly strong aftereffect because the floral aroma suppresses its mellowness. You can't drink too much of it; you have to savor it slowly, like drinking tea. If I drank it like you, I'd be drunk in three cups."

He hoped to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival, which was very difficult for her, slowly drinking with Su Qingwan, not to get her drunk.

You got drunk, you woke up, the anniversary of your death has passed, but the sorrow will not fade with time.

"So if you dig it out, you're just going to drink with me, aren't you?"

"Just drinking isn't very interesting. Want to do something?" "How about a drinking game?"

"That's a bit outdated. Let's go back to basics." Playing drinking games is a popular activity in the capital. These games allow people to express their true feelings or punish each other. The young men and women of the capital all enjoy playing them.

Lu Jing pulled Su Qingwan to play marbles. Qingyun, who was standing next to him, twitched his eyelids and understood what it meant to return to simplicity. The way marbles were played was the most popular game among children on the street.

The game involves choosing an open space, selecting two colors of marbles, nine on each side, and arranging them randomly. There is a hole slightly larger than the marbles. Whoever shoots all the marbles into the hole first wins.

Lu Jing placed the blue marbles, while Su Qingwan placed the red ones. The placement of the marbles was also deliberate, with each marble being seven feet away from the hole.

After the items were arranged, the two of them chose sides based on luck. Unfortunately, Su Qingwan won. She chose the blue side that Lu Jing had arranged because the red side that she had arranged was in a tricky position, which was deliberately designed to trap Lu Jing.

Looking at the distance, it seemed about the same, but reaching the finish line required a lot of skill. Lu Jing couldn't help but laugh and say, "I think I've been tricked by you."

"I'll accept my loss."

Let's see who has the last laugh!

The game began with them using a white common marble to hit other marbles until all the marbles were in the holes. Both Lu Jing and Su Qingwan knew how to play.

This is a game that any child who grew up in Dayuan knows how to play. Su Qingwan was even better at it when she was a child, and she easily hit the first one.

"Wow, it went in!" Su Qingwan cheered, a rare occurrence for her, and pulled Lu Jing to point at the marble. "Did you see that? It went in on the first shot."

"I saw it, that's amazing!" Lu Jing stared at her smile and finally smiled too. It had been so long since he had seen Su Qingwan smile so easily.
