That night, a celebratory banquet was held in the mountain stronghold. Sun Mo was naturally the main character and was given many toasts.
Sun Mo didn't really have much interest in drinking wine, but if he wished to build up a good relationship with these people, it was impossible to not drink. Therefore, he could only take them on the drinks.
Sun Erniang's heart ached a little seeing Sun Mo struggling to handle the drinks. She stood up for him. "He's just a scholar and can't drink. I'll do it!"
Her words caused an uproar. Some men who had a crush on her felt very complicated and at a loss.
But no one said any dampening words.
Even in the modern days, if someone from a village managed to get into a university, it'd be considered a great glory, let alone in the ancient days when scholars enjoyed high statuses.
