"What do you think the mysterious gift is this time?" The competition was still some time before it began. After watching the excitement for a while, Ye Xinxin felt a little bored and said to Su Wenyue.
Su Wenyue shook her head: "I don't know. Since it's a mysterious gift, in order to keep it secret, I'm afraid it won't be revealed until the last minute."
"That's not necessarily true. I heard that this mysterious gift is not ordinary. Many people come here for it. It is said to be some kind of lamp. I don't know what's so great about it that attracts so many people to grab it." Ye Xinxin obviously knew some inside story.
When Su Wenyue heard Ye Xinxin say this, something seemed to flash through her mind, but because it happened too quickly, she didn't remember it. She was dazed and didn't answer Ye Xinxin.
Seeing Su Wenyue like this, Ye Xinxin thought that Su Wenyue didn't believe it, so she said, "What I said is true. Shangguan also knows that the lantern is called a seven-color lantern. It seems to have a great origin."
Shangguan Wuyou shook his head when he heard Ye Xinxin say this. He had said it several times, but his wife still didn't take his words to heart and didn't remember them.
"It's a colorful exquisite lamp, made by a skilled craftsman named Lu Ban during the Warring States Period. It's known as the 'best lamp in the world'. It's said that there's a secret treasure hidden inside it. If you get it, you'll have magical powers and immortality. But this is just a legend. Many people have studied it in the past, but they couldn't figure it out. Maybe the secret treasure is really just a legend. Of course, there are still people who want to explore the secret inside, but the colorful exquisite lamp disappeared in the previous dynasty. Recently, someone spread the word that the colorful exquisite lamp will appear at this lantern riddle party as a mysterious gift."
Shangguan Wuyou had no intention of hiding anything and told everyone he knew. Ordinary people did not know this news, but it had already spread among the upper class and was no longer a secret.
When Su Wenyue heard the words "Colorful and Exquisite Lanterns", her whole body trembled. She finally understood why she felt something was wrong just now. Her eyes were a little dull and she was lost in her memories.
"Yes, it's the colorful exquisite lantern. I don't know what kind of thing this lantern is that has attracted so many people to grab it. Husband, you must work hard to get the first place back. I want to see what the best lantern in the world looks like." Ye Xinxin said this as if she had already won the first place. I don't know if she trusts her husband's talent too much.
"Sister Yue, let's study it together when the time comes. Maybe we can really find some secret treasure in it, and we can achieve immortality together." Ye Xinxin said this purely as a joke. It was obvious that she didn't believe in the legend at all and was just kidding.
Su Wenyue was lost in some thoughts and did not hear Ye Xinxin's words. She just stared blankly at a certain place.
The first person to feel that something was wrong with Su Wenyue was Han Yu who was beside her, because as soon as Shangguan Wuyou said the words "seven-colored exquisite lanterns", Han Yu felt his wife's body pause for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and was lost in thought, as if she was lost in some memories. He was very familiar with this expression, which had appeared on his wife before, but this time it seemed a little different. Han Yu couldn't tell what was different, it was just an intuition about his wife.
Ye Xinxin talked for a while and found that Su Wenyue had not said anything, so she paused: "Sister Yue, what's wrong with you? Why are you ignoring me? I'm talking to you!"
"Sister Yue! Sister Yue! What are you thinking about?!" Seeing that Su Wenyue still didn't respond, Ye Xinxin raised her voice, which brought Su Wenyue back from her thoughts.
Su Wenyue looked at Ye Xinxin apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just thought of something, so I was distracted."
"Sister Yue, you're really something. You can be in a trance even like this. I admire you." It turned out that all she had said for a long time was in vain. Ye Xinxin rolled her eyes without caring about her image at all. Only after Shangguan Wuyou gave her a warning glare did she pay a little attention to her image.
"Xinxin, what do you want to tell me? Oh, you want to tell me about that colorful lamp, right?"
"Yes, that colorful exquisite lamp is said to be magical by people, and it is also said to be the best lamp in the world. I don't know what the 'best lamp in the world' looks like, and I really want to see it, so we must win the first place this time, and then we can study it together."
"Okay, since this number one lamp in the world has such praise, it must be extraordinary. I also want to see Lu Ban's magical skills and see what mysteries are in it." Su Wenyue's words were different from Ye Xinxin's jokes. Instead, they were serious, as if she was really interested in this number one lamp in the world.
"My sister-in-law seems to know something. Could it be that she has heard about the colorful exquisite lanterns before?" Shangguan Wuyou noticed Su Wenyue's abnormality from the moment he acted up and had been observing Su Wenyue's reaction. When he heard Su Wenyue say this, there was something more profound in the look in his eyes.
Su Wenyue didn't expect Shangguan Wuyou to say that. She was stunned for a moment, thinking about how to respond. Han Yu had already helped answer, "Brother Runzhi, you are joking. My wife grew up in the countryside and has limited experience. How could she have heard of these things? She is just as curious as everyone else."
As Han Yu spoke, his eyes turned to Shangguan Wuyou with some depth and intention. It was obvious that he did not want Shangguan Wuyou to cast his eyes on his wife. For a moment, the atmosphere was a little stagnant.
"Yes, I'm extremely curious. The best lamp in the world, just hearing the title makes me want to explore it." Ye Xinxin didn't seem to notice the undercurrent between Shangguan Wuyou and Han Yu, and responded with a smile. Whether it was intentional or not, it immediately dissolved the somewhat stagnant and awkward atmosphere between them.
At this time, there was movement on the stage, announcing that the lantern riddle competition was about to begin. The atmosphere below the stage began to enter a new climax. Several people did not bother to talk and focused their attention on the stage. A group of women in red tights escorted a
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
A slightly plump middle-aged man came to the center of the ring, announced the rules of the lantern riddle competition, and then clapped his hands. First, a group of guards in black rushed into the ring and guarded every corner of the ring. Then, a group of women in red tights divided into two rows, carrying a black wooden box and placed the black box on a small platform prepared in advance. There were mechanisms all around the small platform.
Ever since the black wooden box came up, everyone's eyes have been on it.
"Do you think this is the mysterious gift? Does the box contain the colorful exquisite lamp that is known as the best lamp in the world?" Ye Xinxin stared at the wooden box without blinking, as if she wanted to see something through the black wooden box.
