Chapter 355: Hidden Secrets
It was not only Han Yu and Shangguan Wuyou who did not expect Su Wenyue to suddenly play a role at a critical moment. After all, Su Wenyue's performance had never extended to the aspect of talent and learning. The four talented scholars of Yiyang Prefecture did not expect Su Wenyue to have the answer. After all, the puzzle was not set by them, and they did not know the answer.
When they saw the two words written by Su Wenyue on the paper, everyone was even more confused. They knew the words, but they really couldn't understand what it had to do with the puzzle, and they didn't understand what the two words meant when put together.
Su Wenyue knew that this was the answer to the puzzle, but to be honest, she didn't understand how these two words could be the answer, but she was eager to get the colorful exquisite lamp, so she wrote down the two words in her memory.
The host was a host, and his literary talent was really only average, so naturally he couldn't see it. After Su Wenyue wrote the answer, he handed it to the four talented scholars to confirm whether the answer was correct or wrong.
The four talented scholars received the answer, feeling bitter and embarrassed. They really didn't know the answer. The man took out the riddle but didn't tell them the answer. What should they say now? Well, they had to tell the truth. Although it would be detrimental to their reputation, they couldn't just lie.
At this time, a servant came up to the stage and said that he was a servant of one of the four talented scholars. There was an urgent matter at home to report. After the four talented scholars confirmed it, he was put on the stage.
After the man who claimed to be a servant left, the four talented scholars looked much more relaxed, as if they were finally relieved. They bowed to Su Wenyue and said in admiration: "This lady is very talented. She got the answer right. We admit defeat."
When the people below heard that Su Wenyue got the answer right, there was another round of excitement. This meant that the first place in the lantern riddle competition today had been announced. Some people were waiting for the host to announce the riddle and the answer, but they didn't wait for a long time. They were a little disappointed. They didn't know why the question was so mysterious that it couldn't be announced.
"So we got first place?" Seeing Shangguan Wuyou was stumped, Ye Xinxin had already given up hope. She didn't expect Su Wenyue to suddenly perform amazingly, and the answer was correct. She was a little overwhelmed and felt that this was too easy. Why did she admit defeat like this?
"Yes, my sister-in-law is really a real person who doesn't show 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 amazing. Haha, the world's number one colorful exquisite lamp belongs to us." After Ye Xinxin confirmed it again, she cheered and was so happy that she didn't know why. She couldn't help herself. She wanted to take out the colorful exquisite lamp from the black wooden box immediately and study it thoroughly to see what was so strange about this world's number one lamp.
Shangguan Wuyou silently supported 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 hateful? Especially this colorful exquisite lamp is coveted by many people.
However, seeing his wife's happy state, it was useless to say more, so he shut up. Anyway, those who should be snatched will definitely be snatched, and they will not be soft-hearted. As for the envy, jealousy and hatred of those insignificant people, they can be ignored. He never cares about such things, so let his wife be happy. However, this colorful exquisite lantern belongs to Su Wenyue. After all, if he had already lost, it was Su Wenyue who finally came up with the puzzle and won the game.
Since the four talented people admitted defeat, there was no doubt which group was the first. The host announced the result of the game: "The first place in this lantern riddle competition has been announced. Before the competition was set up, the owner of the house said that as long as you win the first place in this lantern riddle competition, you will get a mysterious gift. Now it's time to reveal this mysterious gift."
As the host said, he clapped his hands, and several women in red 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 a beautiful lantern inside. It was unknown what material the lantern was made of. In the night with bright lights, it radiated brilliant brilliance, which made people's eyes bright.
"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. Seeing the exquisite and beautiful lantern that they didn't know how to describe, they all exclaimed. I don't know who said that this is the best colorful exquisite lantern in the world, which won another round of excitement.
"It is worthy of being the best colorful exquisite lantern in the world. It is so beautiful!"
"Yes, this is the first time I have seen such a beautiful lantern. I don't know how to describe it."
Listening to the exclamations of Ye Xinxin and the people around her, it seems that they all believe that this beautiful lantern is the colorful exquisite lantern. Su Wenyue's face has a rather strange expression.
It's no wonder. The colorful exquisite lantern has been missing for a long time. It appeared in the previous dynasty, and no one has seen it since then. It is normal to make a mistake. After all, this lantern is really beautiful. Even if the real colorful exquisite lantern is placed in front of you, I am afraid that everyone will recognize this lantern as 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 the woman in red took 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 exquisite lantern appeared, she would definitely not be so calm as now. She just stared at the lantern for a few times and then lost her emotions.
Of course, Han Yu not only saw Su Wenyue's reaction, but also when the woman in red took out the colorful exquisite lantern, although her technique was not rude, she did not feel any care, which made him feel that it was a slightly beautiful ordinary lantern.
"That is not a colorful exquisite lantern." Shangguan Wuyou also answered Ye Xinxin at this time. The aristocratic family has its own heritage, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of 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 the notes 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 was really going to give her this fake lantern to make it look real. But suddenly something unexpected happened at this time.
