Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

It was already past 7 PM, and people were coming and going in front of Zuixianlou.

The men and women who came to the banquet were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and wore flowers in their hair.

Although many people come for Zuixianlou's signature Zuixian brew, even more come to find the perfect pairing.

If you find someone you like, simply pluck the flower from your head and give it to them. If they accept it and give you a flower in return, it means they agree.

Therefore, the Flower Festival also has another name: the Marriage Festival.

Legend has it that those who marry during this festival are blessed by the Flower Goddess, enjoying harmonious marriages and lifelong love. Those who betray each other are haunted by countless ghosts and condemned to eternal damnation.

The people of Hwaseong deeply believe in gods and ghosts, and anyone who dares to choose to be together on this day truly loves the other person.

The banquet reached its climax as couples exchanged flowers amidst everyone's blessings.

A woman sat leaning against the second-floor railing, watching the lively scene below, swinging her legs idly and yawning.

The woman had a graceful figure, and her purple dress fluttered freely in the air with her movements, attracting the attention of many young men.

This person is none other than Xue Niang, the owner of Zui Xian Lou.

A young man mustered his courage, holding a beautiful peony, and walked up to the woman.

"Xue Niang, I..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xue Niang extended a slender hand and gently touched the young man's lips. "Your appearance is not good enough to obtain the Drunken Immortal Wine. Please leave."

The young man blushed deeply at Xue Niang's actions. "No, it's not..."

"Alright, go and sit down. Everyone who attended today will receive a jar of October White wine after the banquet!" The first sentence was addressed to the young man, and the second sentence was addressed to someone present.

"it is good!"

"The proprietress is so generous!"

The crowd clapped and cheered. The young man, knowing that Xue Niang had refused, slunk away.

It's the same every year, it's really boring.

Xue Niang looked at the nail polish on her hand and thought she might as well find someone similar this year. Anyway, the wine that was given away would eventually be auctioned off at high prices by the wealthy people who came and went here.

Suddenly, a commotion arose downstairs.

"Oh my god!"

"so hot!"

"Can I give him the flowers?"

Xue Niang looked up and saw that the newcomer appeared to be in his early twenties. A dark, patterned robe draped over his body, outlining his slender waist. His ink-black hair reached his waist, loosely tied with a red ribbon. Silver hair ornaments, interspersed with a few red flowers, were cleverly woven into his hair. His face was strikingly handsome, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, only a touch of red at the corner of his eyes adding a touch of elegance.

That is, the red spider lily.

Xue Niang sat up straight, suddenly becoming interested.

Beside the newcomer was another figure, but his face was covered by a white straw hat, so he did not attract much attention.

Han Luo frowned slightly after listening to the sounds around her.

Jing Shu sensed Han Luo's bad mood and comforted him, "Master, don't worry, we'll leave after this is over."

Jing Shu, through the white veil, watched Han Luo calm down and said, "This bamboo hat is so annoying."

The two girls not only bought Jing Shu a set of clothes, but also bought an extra bamboo hat for Han Luo.

Han Luo hadn't wanted to bring them, but Jing Shu was very satisfied with them.

"They carefully chose these for you, Master, so please take them with you." After changing her clothes and being dressed up, Jing Shu had a beautiful face with a hint of pleading.

"..." Han Luo didn't say anything more, picked up the bamboo hat and put it on her head, the white veil on it hanging down to her calves.

The older and younger sisters both nodded in agreement. "Not bad, it truly is the biggest straw hat in that shop."

"Let's go, it'll be too late if we don't leave now." Han Luo said and walked out.

The elder sister stopped Jing Shu and handed the remaining high-grade spirit stones back to him, saying, "The remaining amount from one high-grade spirit stone is enough for the two of us. Here's the rest back."

After saying that, the older sister pulled her younger sister and ran out of the room.

"Have a pleasant evening!" my sister shouted from outside.

Jing Shu looked at the spirit stone in his hand, where a small note was tucked inside.

Jing Shu glanced at it, and at Han Luo's urging, he put away his storage ring and went downstairs.

"That young man in red downstairs is quite handsome. Why don't we come upstairs and let me, the proprietress, have a good look at him!"

A female voice interrupted their conversation, revealing her identity in a single sentence.

The crowd gasped. Had the proprietress taken a fancy to this young man?

Jing Shu looked up at Xue Niang upstairs and said, "I came here only for the Drunken Immortal Wine, please don't make fun of me, proprietress."

Some of the girls who were already infatuated with him became even more excited after hearing Jing Shu speak.

Xue Niang wasn't annoyed, leisurely swinging her jade-like feet. "So it's for the Drunken Immortal Wine, huh? Everyone, tell me, can this young master win this prize?"

"Yes!" a group of female fans screamed.

“I think so too. However,” Xue Niang changed the subject, “the young master beside him is covering his face with a bamboo hat, which makes it hard for me to know who should win the Drunken Immortal Wine.”

Only then did everyone notice that there was a person wearing a bamboo hat standing next to Jing Shu.

"Would this young master wearing a bamboo hat be so kind as to remove it and let everyone see his true face?"

After a fleeting moment of amazement at Jing Shu's appearance, Xue Niang noticed Han Luo beside him.

After entering the room, Jing Shu did not look at anyone present, only softening his expression when speaking to Han Luo.

This made Xue Niang extremely curious: what kind of person could win the heart of this handsome young man?

“He and I came together. No matter who you give the wine to, it will end up on us anyway, so there’s no need to take off your hat,” Jing Shu replied.

Xue Niang smiled and shook her finger, "This is different. I'm the one who's giving the wine, so it has to be for the person I think is the most beautiful."

“Yes, yes, the landlady is right!” the group of men echoed.

The girls fell silent, also curious about what lay beneath the straw hats.

"What's so difficult about that?" Before Jing Shu could continue speaking, Han Luo directly took off her bamboo hat.

The entire hall fell silent. It turned out that this was a man no less impressive than Jing Shu. If Jing Shu was the cinnabar mark on earth, then Han Luo was the white moonlight in the sky. The two figures, one in red and one in blue, stood together, and surprisingly, they didn't look out of place at all.

Jing Shu chuckled helplessly; his master had taken it off after all.

If you don't like it, you don't like it. It's no big deal to take it off.

Upon seeing Han Luo's true appearance, Xue Niang's smile vanished, replaced by utter shock.

While everyone was still marveling at the two people's appearances, someone in the corner suddenly spat out a mouthful of tea.

Xue Niang leaped down and landed lightly on the ground. She took out two jars of wine from her storage bag and handed them to Han Luo, forcing a smile, "Both of you are exceptionally elegant and I cannot distinguish between you, so I am giving you two jars of Drunken Immortal Wine. I hope you will forgive my earlier rudeness."
