Not only Han Yu and Shangguan Wuyou did not expect Su Wenyue to suddenly play a role at the critical moment. After all, what Su Wenyue had shown had never extended to talent and learning. The four talented men of Yiyang Prefecture did not expect that Su Wenyue would actually have the answer. After all, the puzzle was not raised by them, and they did not know the answer.
When they saw the two words Su Wenyue wrote on the paper, everyone was even more confused. They recognized the words, but they really couldn't understand what they had to do with the puzzle, let alone what the two words meant when put together.
Su Wenyue knew that this was the answer to the riddle, but to be honest, she didn't understand how these two words could be the answer. However, she was eager to get the colorful lantern, so she wrote down the two words from her memory.
The host was just a host, and his literary talent was just average, so naturally it was impossible to tell. After Su Wenyue wrote down the answer, he handed it to the four talented men to confirm whether the answer was correct or wrong.
The four great scholars received the answers, feeling bitter and ashamed. They really didn't know the answer. The man took out the puzzle but didn't tell them the answer. What should they say at this time? Well, they had to tell the truth. Even if it would damage their reputation, they couldn't just speak nonsense with their eyes open.
At this time, a servant came up onto the stage and said that he was a servant of one of the four talented men. He had an urgent matter to report at home. After being confirmed by the four talented men, he was allowed onto the stage.
After the man who claimed to be a servant left, the four talented scholars looked much more relaxed, as if they had finally breathed a sigh of relief. They cupped their hands towards Su Wenyue and expressed admiration: "This lady is very talented. She got the answer right. We admit defeat."
When the people below heard that Su Wenyue had answered correctly, there was another round of excitement. This meant that the first place in today's lantern riddle competition had been announced. Some people were waiting for the host to announce the riddle and the answer, but they were disappointed when they didn't get to wait. They didn't know why the question was so mysterious that it couldn't be made public.
"So, we got first place?" Ye Xinxin saw Shangguan Wuyou was stumped and had already given up hope. She didn't expect Su Wenyue to suddenly perform so amazingly and give the right answer. She was a little overwhelmed and thought this was too easy. Why did she give up like that?
"Yes, my sister-in-law is really a person who never shows her true colors. I underestimated her before." Han Yu said with some admiration.
"That's great, we got first place, Sister Yue, you are so awesome, haha, the best colorful exquisite lantern in the world will belong to us." After Ye Xinxin confirmed it again, she cheered. She was so happy that she couldn't contain herself. She wished she could immediately take out the colorful exquisite lantern from the black wooden box and study it thoroughly to see what was so special about this best lantern in the world.
Shangguan Wuyou silently held his forehead and thought to himself, "Madam, is it okay for you to be so proud and high-profile? People are staring at us. Isn't it a bit too annoying? Especially since many people covet this colorful and exquisite lamp."
However, seeing his wife's happy state, there was no point in saying more, so he just shut his mouth. Anyway, those who should be snatched would be snatched without mercy. As for the envy, jealousy and hatred of those irrelevant people, they could be ignored. He never cared about such things, so he just let his wife be happy. However, this colorful exquisite lantern belonged to Su Wenyue. After all, he had already lost, and it was Su Wenyue who came up with the puzzle and won the game in the end.
Since the four talented people had admitted defeat, there was no doubt which group would win first place. The host announced the result of the competition: "The first place in this lantern riddle competition has been announced. Before the competition was held, the owner of the house said that whoever won first place in this lantern riddle competition would receive a mysterious gift. Now it's time to reveal this mysterious gift."
As the host spoke, he clapped his hands, and several women in red tight clothes bypassed the mechanism and opened the locked black wooden box. There was a small box inside. When they opened it again, they could see an exquisite lantern inside. No one knew what material the lantern was made of, but in the brightly lit night, it emitted a brilliant light that was eye-catching.
"Is this the colorful exquisite lantern? So beautiful." Ye Xinxin exclaimed. Although she couldn't see it clearly from a distance, she could still feel the beauty of the lantern.
The people in the audience were the same. When they saw the exquisite, gorgeous, and beautiful lantern that was hard to describe, they all exclaimed in admiration. Someone said that this was the best colorful lantern in the world, which caused another round of excitement.
"It is indeed the best colorful lantern in the world. It is so beautiful!"
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen such beautiful lanterns. I don't know how to describe them."
Listening to the admiration of Ye Xinxin and the people around her, as if they all believed that this beautiful lantern was the colorful exquisite lantern, Su Wenyue had a rather strange expression on her face.
It's no wonder. The colorful exquisite lantern has been missing for a long time. It appeared in the previous dynasty, but no one has seen it since then. It is normal to make a mistake. After all, this lantern is really beautiful. Even if a real colorful exquisite lantern is placed in front of you, I am afraid that everyone will mistake this lantern for a colorful exquisite lantern.
People tend to choose beautiful things more easily. The real colorful exquisite lantern does not have such a luxurious and gorgeous appearance. It looks like just an ordinary lantern, but it has hidden secrets inside.
Han Yu had been observing his wife's reaction. When he saw the woman in red take out the lantern, his wife did not show any excitement. Instead, she was slightly surprised and then flashed a look of disapproval. It was obvious that the lantern was fake. Judging from his wife's previous performance, if the real colorful lantern appeared, she would definitely not be so calm. She just stared at the lantern for a few seconds and then lost her emotion.
Of course, Han Yu was not only impressed by Su Wenyue's reaction, but also by the way the woman in red took out the colorful lantern. Although her technique was not rough, it did not seem to be treated with care at all. He intuitively thought it was just an ordinary, slightly pretty lantern.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
"That's not a colorful exquisite lantern." Shangguan Wuyou also answered Ye Xinxin at this time. The aristocratic families have their own heritage, not only in terms of money, but also in cultural heritage and accumulation in all aspects. Although Shangguan Wuyou has never seen a real colorful exquisite lantern, he has read a record of the colorful exquisite lantern in a note in his own library, which is very different from the beautiful and gorgeous lanterns at this station.
If it wasn't for the fact that the mysterious gift was a colorful exquisite lantern, Su Wenyue would not be in a hurry. She was waiting for the host's reaction to see how the host would proceed and whether he really wanted to give her this fake lantern to make it look real. But suddenly something unexpected happened at this time.
