Qin Tongguang's eyes lit up when he saw such a beautiful girl, and he immediately said, "The prize is a hall lantern called the 'Treasure Cover, Rope, Three-Gathering, Seven-Colored Spike, Ram's Horn Lantern.' The shop owner said it's made of about 400,000 colored glass beads. It's a treasure to protect the house, and it should be lit once every four years."

Yu Tanqi looked up in the direction his hand pointed, "Wow, what a big lamp."

Or it is made up of different lanterns connected together to form a big lantern like this.

Le Ying'an pinched Qin Tongguang's arm and whispered, "Why are you so attentive? Did she ask you? It's obvious that she's with this handsome young man. If she wants this lamp too, I'll ignore you!"

Qin Tongguang quickly begged for mercy in a low voice: "Sister An An, I was wrong, please don't be angry. I see that they are all dressed in fine clothes, so they should not need this lamp. And they both look reasonable people, maybe they will give this lamp to us."

Le Ying'an looked at Yu Tanqi and snorted, "That's not necessarily true."

Yu Tanqi knew that ancient lanterns were very beautiful, but he didn't expect them to be so big and beautiful.

She looked in amazement at the hall lantern whose name was so long that she didn't remember it.

Jiang Shi asked her, "Does Tan Qi like this hall lantern?"

Yu Tanqi saw the nervous looks the young man and the pink-dressed girl gave him and smiled slightly, "Who wouldn't like such an exquisite and complex hall lantern?"

Le Ying'an said anxiously, "We've already announced that whoever can solve the riddle and come up with the second line will buy it for five hundred taels. You heard it too. We were the first to set our eyes on this lantern. You can't snatch it from me!"

Yu Tanqi teased her: "But we are not short of five hundred taels of silver."

Le Ying'an gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you one thousand taels, if you give me this lamp."

Qin Tongguang looked at her in surprise, quickly tugged at her sleeve, and whispered, "An'an, one thousand taels is not a small amount."

It still hurt when he took it out.

"I'll give you the money myself, you don't have to pay for it."

"How can this be? I promised to win this lantern for you."

"How dare you say that? It's your fault for not reading more books every day. You can't even guess what an oil lamp is!"

Yu Tanqi almost laughed out loud while listening to their conversation.

Jiang Shi said in a gentle voice: "Tan Qi likes this lamp, don't worry about them, we will just take it away."

He looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, I guessed the riddle and found the second line. This lantern should belong to me, right?"

The shopkeeper smiled and nodded: "Yes, sir, please wait a moment, I will have someone take down the lamp."

Le Ying'an was extremely anxious. She had never seen such a beautiful lamp before and was unwilling to let it be taken away by someone else.

If I could bring it home and hang it in the main hall, I wonder how many people would be amazed and praise it.

She walked up to Yu Tanqi and looked at the girl with soft eyes and eyebrows. She felt that she seemed easy to talk to.

"My lady, I see you are wearing luxurious clothes and all the accessories you wear are extraordinary. You must need this lamp. I really like it. Could you please give it to me? Please."

The little girl has a round face with cute baby fat on it. She is cute in a pink dress. Her big watery eyes look at Yu Tanqi pitifully. Her cute look is really hard to resist.

"Besides, you are so beautiful, and you and the young man beside you seem to be a perfect match. You both look gentle and kind. You will definitely not have the heart to take away someone's favorite."

She was also quite good at talking. She praised both Yu Tanqi and Jiang Shi and put them on a pedestal, as if they were deliberately taking away someone else's favor by not giving the lamp to her. She was not gentle or kind at all.

Yu Tanqi sighed softly and said softly, "Miss, that's not how you use 'seize someone's favorite'. The shop owner said that whoever guesses the answer and writes the second line will get the lantern. My fiancé guessed it, so he deserves it."

"But we were here first, and you heard what my fiancé said, so you came here to guess the riddle, right?"

Seeing that Yu Tanqi wasn't as easy to talk to as he'd imagined, Le Ying'an looked at the crowd and asked, "Tell me, did we get here first and use the five hundred taels to lure you over to help us solve the riddle?"

The onlookers enjoyed watching the fun without any hesitation.

"Yes, the girl in pink is right. They were indeed here first."

"But it was indeed this young man in green who guessed the answer. He doesn't look like someone who wants five hundred taels of silver."

“It all seems to make sense.”

People all like to watch the fun, and the noise they made was getting louder and louder, attracting quite a few people to gather around.

The lights were dim. On a tall building, a young man in black clothes lowered his eyes to look at the brightly lit area.

They actually dared to go out.

Yun Xuan saw the young man and girl in blue clothes surrounded by a crowd, and in front of them was a strange man and woman.

Jiang Shi frowned slightly, as if he was caught in some dispute.

Yun Xuan's gaze fell on Yu Tanqi again. The little girl who was timid and dared not look up in front of him, straightened her back and her eyes were clear once she left his sight.

He originally thought that Jiang Shi's concern for Yu Tanqi was all fake, but now it seems that is not the case.

Who can not like such a smart and clever girl?

Yun Xuan curled his lips slightly, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.

He leaped up, landed lightly on the ground, and walked towards the brightly lit area.

Jiang Shi then said, "Guessing lantern riddles is naturally in accordance with the store's rules. I didn't guess the riddle because I heard you mention the five hundred taels. It was just because my fiancée asked me, so I said it out loud. Someone happened to hear it, so he said it first.

If everyone was like you and couldn't figure out the riddles, then you'd stand in front of the shop and yell that whoever guessed the riddle would pay you for the answer, how would the shop still be able to do business?

The boy's expression was slightly cold, like ice and snow crystallized in winter, with a crystal clear light shining through. It made people admire him, but not dare to approach and blaspheme him easily.

His words were powerful and every word made sense.

Everyone remembered that Jiang Shi had never said from the beginning that he would help Qin Tongguang solve the riddle. Someone shouted out the answer to the riddle. When the shopkeeper asked him to come up with the second line, he looked at Jiang Shi again. Only then did they see Jiang Shi and Jiang Shi say the second line.

The man who had spoken the answer earlier also said, "I was standing next to this young man and heard his fiancée ask him what the answer was, and then he told me."

The person next to him couldn't help but say, "Then why did you say it out loud? It's not like you guessed it."

The man blushed and said stubbornly, "I saw that none of you had guessed it, so I wanted to tell you loudly."

Le Ying'an didn't expect that Jiang Shi could make everyone around him stand on his side with just a few words.

She was a little clever, but not much. She couldn't think of how to refute Jiang Shi for a while, so she looked at Qin Tongguang, "Brother Tongguang, say something!"
