Chapter 55 Look at My Light



That's right. No matter how many benefits a thing has, there's no point in doing something you don't like.

Liu'er also had her own understanding and nodded with relief.

"Miss, look at all these lanterns..." she said happily, her eyes fell on Miss Jun, and she exclaimed, "Miss, where is your lantern?"

It was the lamp that the young lady got after passing the first level. She took it and said she was waiting outside.

Why are you empty-handed now?

"Give it away." Miss Jun said.

Give it to someone? Liu Er's eyes widened.

"Miss, who did you meet? Was it Miss Lin?" she asked.

Miss Lin is Miss's best friend, but it seems like I haven't seen her for a long time.

“Why give it to someone else?”

"Give it to him. Your lady will be very happy." Miss Jun said with a smile.

Miss Jun did go straight to the Ning family's gate at the beginning, but when she saw the Tenth Master Ning on August 15th, her heart and thoughts were filled with this person.

It’s a pity that I was never even looked at by that person until I died.

Just now she casually walked under the tree to rest her feet and watch the game. There were many people on the street and there were people under the tree, so she didn't care. Then she made her moves casually, and the people next to her actually responded, and they played blind chess back and forth like this.

The first thing she learned from her master was to play chess. She already knew how to play chess and was quite good at it, but she still spent a full year learning from her master. During that year, she did nothing but play chess, chess, and chess.

The master said this is a test of one’s temper.

She felt very aggrieved at the time, but she has always had a good temper.

A few years ago, she played chess with her master, but later her master stopped playing with her. There was no one else around her, so she could only play chess with herself.

She had originally planned to play chess with herself, but she didn't expect the person next to her to respond in the same way as she did.

It's fun, easy, and more enjoyable.

She didn't care who was next to her. Of course, she could get to know him after the game was over. But she didn't expect that the person who took off his hood and turned around would be the most familiar person in her memory.

Ning Yunzhao, the tenth young master of Ning.

So she gave him the lantern, and he accepted it. For Jun Zhenzhen, this moment was the happiest thing she had ever dreamed of.

Although Liu Er felt that what she said was strange, it was enough for her to hear that the young lady was happy.

"Miss, what are we going to see next?" she asked happily.

"Go and see the lanterns I made," Miss Jun said with a smile.

This is what makes her happy.

"Yes, Miss also made lanterns." Liu Er nodded hurriedly. "Where did you put your lanterns? At the door of your house or at the Fire God Temple?"

The lanterns made by the Fang family were placed on the street in front of their house for Fang Chengyu to see.

"The Temple of the God of Fire." Miss Jun said.

Liu'er nodded again.

"Yes, the lady's lantern is not for the paralytic to see," she said.

"That's not the case." Miss Jun said with a smile, "If I put it there, no one will care to look at my light."

This was certainly not because the lamp made by the young lady was not good. It was because the people there only wanted to see the dying paralytic. Liu Er firmly believed this. She followed Miss Jun to the Temple of the God of Fire.

This is the busiest place on the street. The lanterns here are more exquisite, and there are many delicate lanterns that attract gasps from onlookers.

Liu'er was also attracted by a tinkling and flashing revolving lantern and couldn't take her eyes off it.

"Miss, are the lanterns you made here too?" she asked.

Miss Jun nodded.

The young lady made the lanterns in a workshop, unlike Fang Jinxiu and her sisters who made them at home. The young lady's lanterns must be very beautiful.

"Where is it?" Liu'er asked impatiently with a look of anticipation on her face.

She was ready. When the lady showed it to her, she would let out the loudest exclamation that would overwhelm everyone here, letting everyone know how amazing her lady was.

"This is it." Miss Jun stopped and said while looking ahead.

Liu'er looked over excitedly.

"Wow. Good..." She shouted immediately. At the same time, she saw the lantern clearly. Her eyes widened in shock. The word "beautiful" that was on her lips suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by... "Dark!"

It’s so dark.

A lantern only has flowers but no lights, and this lantern is very big.

It was square and occupied a large area, but it was pitch black without any light. Amid the glittering lanterns in front, behind, left and right, it looked like a piece of mud thrown on a pearl curtain, looking stupid, ugly and uncomfortable.

Liu'er thought of all kinds of words of praise, but none of them were useful at this moment.

She is an honest child, and more importantly, she believes that her aesthetic taste is the same as that of the young lady.

She would not say those exaggerated compliments out of spite, the lady is not a fool.

"The lantern is not lit." She said hurriedly, and then looked at the lantern with an angry look, "What's going on? Why don't you light the lantern?"

There are naturally people watching over the lanterns on Lantern Street to prevent fires or other emergencies.

At this moment, there was a man standing next to this dark lantern. In the light of other lanterns, he looked a little shabby because of his ugly expression.

"Little girl, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." He also said with a bit of temper, "This lantern is not bright."

There was no need for Liu'er to speak angrily, as the people nearby had already heard and asked first.

"What's the use of a lantern if it doesn't light?" he said. "What's the point of putting it here?"

The person looking at the light snorted and pointed.

"Don't you see what it says here?" he said.

What is it written?

Everyone around looked in the direction he pointed, and only then did they see a flag hanging from the dark lantern with large gold-plated characters written on it.

Chess wins.

"What does it mean? Is there a typo?" someone asked.

"What I mean is that there are conditions for the lantern to light up. This is a chessboard, and the lanterns dotted on it are the chess pieces. Now the black piece is only one move away from winning the game. Whoever can make the right move will light up the lantern." The lantern watcher said, his hands in his pockets.

This is interesting.

The crowd of onlookers immediately came over to take a closer look at the chess game, and some even reached out their hands.

"Wait." The lantern watcher used the stick in his hand to block the person who reached out to the lantern, "This is not something that everyone can try."

"What should we do then?" asked the person who was stopped.

The lantern watcher tapped the side with the wooden stick in his hand.

"Pay the money," he said.

Only then did everyone notice that there were two glass bowls placed under the flag, one of which had broken silver coins covering the bottom, and the other had a silver bill in it.

banknote.

The eyes of the people who gathered around suddenly lit up, and when they saw the amount on the banknote clearly, their mouths opened wide.

"Five thousand taels."

Shout out and more people will gather around.

Liu'er also opened her mouth and looked at Miss Jun in disbelief.

She no longer doubted that the young lady had mistaken the lamp.

"Miss, what is this for?" she couldn't help but ask.
