Autumn Waters Rinse the Wine Cup

Ku Wuji · AI Writing · Social Life in an Ancient Setting · Complete · 1 chapter · 3 reads

Xie Wu hides a flask of wine for the Double Ninth climb, but his son needs no search, reaching straight into his sleeve to take it out. After half a lifetime in the wine-making trade, he still hopes a lively feast will let father and son drink away their years of estrangement. Xie Qiao brings only plain water. The higher they climb, the fiercer the autumn wind grows, and every prosperous memory his father recounts has another version in his son’s recollection.
