Traveling to ancient times, with space

Chapter 258 Waiting for the Right Moment

As a result, they smelled the rich, mellow, and fragrant aroma of the wine, and their mouths watered instantly.

Although the aroma of the wine has a faint hint of sweetness, it does not detract from its intoxicating and wonderful taste at all. On the contrary, it makes it even more irresistible and makes you feel increasingly intoxicated.

Many guests who were leisurely savoring their wine suddenly found it tasteless after smelling that captivating aroma.

More and more guests could no longer contain their excitement, putting down their glasses and rushing downstairs to join the queue.

Among the crowd that had been drawn by the enticing aroma of wine and hurriedly went downstairs to queue, were Lord Gu, who had come out to find someone to amuse him, and his close friend Zhou Xiaoci.

The two men were already flushed from drinking and were walking unsteadily.

They supported and pulled each other as they slowly descended the stairs, their steps unsteady.

When they saw the long queue in front of them, the two of them widened their eyes and looked extremely surprised.

They thought about skipping the queue, but the closer they got to the wine, the stronger the aroma became, and the two of them could hardly move their legs, so they had no choice but to obediently go down and queue up to get their wine.

At this moment, Su Yue and her two companions were sitting at a table not far from the waiter, waiting in line with other customers.

Lord Gu and Zhou Xiaoci were still patiently waiting in line to receive their wine.

Finally, the first lucky person appeared to taste the wine.

All eyes immediately focused on this person, who carefully picked up the wine glass as if holding a rare treasure.

He first brought his nose close to the rim of the cup, took a deep breath, and then a look of rapture appeared on his face.

Then, he parted his lips slightly and took a small sip of the wine in his glass.

However, at that moment, the man suddenly shuddered, as if he had been electrocuted.

This sudden turn of events terrified the people in line, with some even suspecting that the wine might be poisoned and frantically trying to drop the glasses they were holding.

Just as the scene was about to descend into chaos, the man suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, "Oh my! This is truly an unparalleled wine!"

"Fine wine! To have tasted such exquisite nectar in my lifetime, I would gladly die right now!"

Upon hearing these words, the previously tense group finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

At the same time, they all cast disdainful glances at that person, secretly mocking him for being so spineless.

However, when those who had previously scorned the man finally got their turn to taste the wine for themselves...

They then realized they were a joke, because they had become completely addicted after just a small taste.

At that moment, they wished they could slap themselves hard.

The person who tasted the wine first, still wanting more, stuck out his tongue and licked the last remaining drop of wine from the glass clean.

Without hesitation, he turned around and ran back to the end of the line, trying to queue up again in hopes of getting a few more sips of this irresistible wine.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, and his little scheme was quickly seen through by another sharp-eyed and quick-witted waiter.

The waiter grabbed him without hesitation and gave him a warning.

In the end, the greedy fellow could only return to his own table, dejected and disappointed, but he still stared at the wine jar with unwavering determination.

Before long, more than half of the jar of fine wine had been gone, and the spacious hall was filled with gasps of amazement.

The guests marveled at the wine's aroma and flavor, and some even sat together to comment on it.

Finally, it was Lord Gu's turn. He was already so tempted by the rich aroma of the wine that his head felt heavy, and his heart was filled with longing to taste it.

At this moment, Lord Gu no longer cared about the image and etiquette of a nobleman. He eagerly picked up the wine jar, tilted his head back, and took a small sip.

As the clear, mellow wine slid down his throat, Lord Gu couldn't help but squint his eyes, wholeheartedly savoring the wonderful taste sensation it brought.

However, just as he slowly opened his eyes, he unexpectedly met a pair of familiar eyes.

He actually saw his third son, who should have been in the Marquis's mansion!

At first, Lord Gu thought he was hallucinating from drinking too much. After all, how could he see the child who should be recuperating in the mansion at this time?

So he shook his head vigorously a few times, then gently rubbed his eyes, and looked again.

This time, he saw it clearly: the figure was running towards the door in a panic.

Isn't that his third son, whom he both loves and hates?

Once he was sure it was true, Lord Gu's face instantly turned gloomy. He stared intently at the receding figure, his eyes flashing with anger.

Just then, Zhou Xiaoci walked over with a wine cup in his hand, eager to share a drink with Lord Gu.

But when he got closer, he found Lord Gu staring angrily at the door, which made him suspicious.

"Old Gu, what are you looking at?" Zhou Xiaoci nudged Lord Gu with her elbow curiously and looked outside, but there was nothing there!

"It's alright, let's continue drinking to our hearts' content!" Without waiting for a reply, Lord Gu grabbed Zhou Xiaoci and strode towards where Su Yue had been sitting.

Upon reaching the table, Lord Gu swiftly grabbed the half-empty wine jar that was on the table and brought it to his nose for a gentle sniff.

Huh? This tastes exactly like what I just drank. Good heavens, the father is lining up to get his share of the wine, while the son is here drinking from a jar.

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoci couldn't help but wonder to himself: Could it be that Lord Gu is really drunk?

How could you so casually take drinks from someone else's table?

If this gets out, where will he put his old face?

Thinking of this, Zhou Xiaoci quickly advised, "Old Gu, you're probably a bit too drunk. This isn't our wine."

After saying this, he hurriedly put down his wine cup and reached out to stop Lord Gu from dumping the wine jar.

However, Lord Gu seemed not to hear at all, and with a wave of his hand, he directly slapped away Zhou Xiaoci's outstretched hand.

He muttered to himself, "Old Zhou, you should just sit down and relax. Come on, let's see what kind of wine this is. Hehe, I'll personally pour you a full cup."

As he spoke, ignoring Zhou Xiaoci's advice, he picked up the wine jar and skillfully filled the cups of the two of them with wine.
