Chapter 387 Osmanthus Wine



The eldest princess covered her slightly red forehead and waved her hand, "No need, I'm fine."

Although my forehead hurts a little, it's not serious enough to require seeing a doctor.

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." The eldest princess quickened her pace and left quickly.

The man turned around and saw her quickly leaving. A smile flashed across his eyes and he was about to leave.

I saw a handkerchief dropped on the ground. It was embroidered with a carp, which was very delicate.

He squatted down and picked up the handkerchief. When he turned around again, the woman had disappeared.

He put the handkerchief away and decided to return it to the girl if he met her again. Otherwise, if someone else picked it up, it might have a bad influence on the girl.

After putting the handkerchief away, he walked forward.

"Youlin, why are you here? I've been looking for you for a long time."

Wen Yueze walked over with a smile when he saw him.

"What's wrong?"

"Hurry up, the Qushui Liushang you're waiting for is about to start. I went there just now and didn't see you, so I looked for you here. I didn't expect you to be here."

"Oh, look at me, I almost forgot about this. Let's go, I've been waiting for this Qushui Liushang for a long time."

Song Youlin quickly pulled Wen Yueze forward.

Qushui Youshang is a favorite game among scholars and writers. It is a unique experience to recite poems while drinking and eating.

This Qushui Liushang is located right under a small waterfall, next to a bamboo forest, and the environment is quiet and cool.

At this moment, many young men and women have gathered here.

Qushui Liushang is not only loved by scholars and young men, but also by princesses and young ladies.

So there are many ladies and gentlemen here chatting and laughing.

When someone saw Song Youlin and Wen Yueze coming over, they urged, "Why did you two come just now? We've been waiting for you for a long time."

"That's right, Brother Youlin always drags his feet. Don't you like this kind of game the most?"

"I just encountered some problems, so I'm a little slow." Song Youlin walked closer and said embarrassedly.

Wen Yueze sat down in his seat, and Xuanxuan, Chenchen and others happened to be sitting next to him.

Chenchen poured him a glass of wine, "Cousin Yueze, this is the best osmanthus wine, try it, it's delicious."

Although they are still a little young, they will occasionally drink a little when no one is watching, as long as their father and mother don't find out.

"Thank you, cousin Chenchen." Wen Yueze picked up the wine glass and was about to take a sip when he was stopped by someone.

"Wait a minute, Brother Wen. You all arrived late. How can you drink this excellent osmanthus wine so easily? You must compose a poem, otherwise you can't drink this osmanthus wine. Don't you agree?"

The person who spoke was the young man who had just said that they were late.

Everyone followed suit and said, "That's right, if you want to drink this fine wine, you have to write a poem first, and then you can drink it if everyone agrees."

Wen Yueze didn't get angry after hearing this. He put down his wine glass, looked at them and smiled, "Okay, then you tell me what poem you want to write, and I'll accompany you."

"Then write a poem about the scenery. Of course, every line must fit the surrounding scenery, otherwise it won't count."

He looked at everyone and said, "What do you think of this proposal?"

"Okay, this is it." Everyone thought this was great.

Here, the poem must be appropriate to the occasion.

Wen Yueze put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at the surrounding scenery and began to think hard.

Everyone was in no hurry and waited while eating.

The ladies who were at another place with wine flowing through the winding stream naturally heard what had just happened here and were curious about what kind of poem he could write.

For a moment, the place was suddenly silent, with only the melodious and ethereal piano music echoing in everyone's ears.

Just as Wen Yueze was thinking hard, someone suddenly started shouting.

"Look, the eldest princess is coming."

When everyone heard this, they all looked over and no longer cared about what was happening on Wen Yueze's side.

What they care more about is the eldest princess.

Many people know what they are doing here today. If they can marry into the Fourth Master's family, their future will definitely be immeasurable.

So many people wanted to marry this princess.

Of course, not everyone here has this idea. Many people come here to see how beautiful the Old Summer Palace is, or to get to know these rich kids and build good relationships with them.

The eldest princess changed into a bright pink Manchu dress and wore two small silk flowers of the same color in her hair.

Her pretty and slightly childish face without too much makeup makes her look elegant and refined, with a light figure and slow steps, giving her the appearance of a lady from a noble family.

Wen Yueze noticed everyone's reaction and looked over, but his thoughts were not as complicated as others.

He already knew the eldest princess, so he just took a quick look and then looked away, noticing that no one's eyes were on him.

He picked up the wine glass on the table and started drinking, slowly savoring the fine wine in his hand.

You know what, this osmanthus wine tastes really good.

The taste is mellow and rich, and one sip will make you feel relaxed and happy, with an endless aftertaste.

Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him, he finished the wine in his glass and picked up the wine jug beside him to refill his glass.

This is a rare fine wine, and we must drink more while their minds are elsewhere.

At this moment, Song Youlin's pupils suddenly shrank, and he obviously couldn't believe that the girl he met today was actually a princess.

For some reason, when he saw her appearance at this moment, Song Youlin's heart trembled suddenly, and a strange feeling grew in his heart.

When he first came here, he just wanted to meet more literati like him, and take advantage of this time to exchange more knowledge with others.

But he didn't expect to see the girl from before here, no, it should be the eldest princess, and his heart was actually a little confused.

At this moment, someone came up to him and whispered, "Look at that eldest princess, she's so beautiful. Judging from her appearance, she should have a good personality. It would be great if she could fall in love with me. That way, I wouldn't have to take the imperial examination anymore and could still become an official."

He thought happily that after all, after marrying a woman and bringing her home, his future would be bright without him having to work hard, so who wouldn't want that?

He said this very quietly, and only Song Youlin could hear it.

When Song Youlin heard his words, he glanced at him with disgust.

Seeing him looking at him with such disgust, the man said with some dissatisfaction: "What's wrong? What do you mean by looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"
