Today is a day of great joy for all scholars who have passed the imperial examination, so naturally, they are supposed to have a few drinks. Xiao Liulang, the newly appointed highest-ranking scholar, was definitely not going to miss out on his share of wine.

But Xiao Liulang had never had alcohol before and his tolerance was quite poor. The few glasses of light wine served at the midday banquet wouldn't have been enough to get him drunk, but the issue was that after the banquet concluded, some of them went off in small groups to other places.

Where these places were is a bit difficult to mention.

Xiao Liulang was unwilling to stay there and insisted on going home. The others didn't like that, forcing him to drink another three glasses before allowing him to leave. This guy was truly bold, drinking until he passed out.

Ning Zhiyuan, being a family man himself, didn't enjoy such events either, so he suggested taking the newly appointed highest-ranking scholar home.
