"As we all know, the maker of the Jinyu Mantang lantern has always been a mystery. You may wish to find out, I guarantee that the person who made the lantern will definitely be in the lantern viewing event tonight," the restaurant owner comforted, "I haven't bought any lanterns for three years. Go out, so this year our store has added a lottery, whoever guesses the riddle will get a bonus of 100 taels of silver."

The crowd was in an uproar, and many people actively searched for it.

Su He secretly admired that this restaurant really made money, with a bonus of 100 taels, but this lantern would sell for at least 300 taels, so it would not be a loss at all.

It didn't take long before people dragged people who were selling lanterns and setting up stalls in the street market one after another, but they were all denied by the restaurant.

Many people pointed at a person who said he was making lanterns on the street, trying to be fooled.

Once inside, the scene is a bit lively and chaotic.

The owner of Salou said helplessly, "All participants, please search carefully. There are so many people at the lantern festival. If you come here one by one, you will not be able to tell if you are right, but you will not have enough time. And even if you are guessed right indiscriminately, you must show evidence, otherwise There is no such thing as 100 taels."

The noisy crowd calmed down again and again.

Gu Tianyue watched for a while, feeling bored.I took people away, thinking of coming over to see how the lantern festival ended.

The servant girl next to him noticed his expression and asked cautiously, "Will the prince not participate? It seems quite interesting."

Gu Tianyue lost interest, "Just wait until someone else finds it."

Another maid asked worriedly, "What if I can't find it?"

"Then ask the restaurant owner directly." Gu Tianyue said as a matter of course.

"..." Su He was very speechless about Gu Tianyue's "bandit" behavior, thinking of himself, he couldn't help but glared at him angrily.

Unexpectedly, before he stared at him, he could quickly withdraw his gaze, Gu Tianyue turned his gaze to this side, looking at Su He sharply.

Su He hastily blinked innocently.

Gu Tianyue looked away lightly, and saw the maid beside her poking her head, and asked, "What else are you looking for?"

The two maidservants who were looking down excitedly immediately shrank their heads when they heard the sound, not daring to look aside again.The same goes for the two guards following Gu Tianyue.

Seeing this scene, Gu Tianyue still didn't understand something, and sighed, "It's rare to be free, so it's good to have fun."

As soon as the words fell, a maid immediately pointed to the front left with bright eyes and said, "My lord, the stall of the old man in front is so lively, he must have a good craftsmanship. Could it be that he made the lantern full of gold and jade?"

Obviously, the puzzle of that restaurant aroused the interest of everyone except Gu Tianyue, but because of Gu Tianyue's power, he only dared to keep it in his heart if he was interested.After getting Gu Tianyue's approval, he immediately said it out.

Hearing the voice, Su He looked in the direction she was pointing at, only took one look, and immediately denied it in his heart.

"No." Gu Tianyue also denied it.

The maidservant lowered her face, "Why?"

Gu Tianyue explained lightly, "The lanterns full of gold and jade are brightly colored. Although the old man's lanterns are beautiful and unique, the coloring is different."

Another maid pointed to another place, but it was also denied.

"Ah..." The two were a little lost.

Su He also looked left and right, and found that he could see the puzzles on the lanterns clearly. He couldn't help but feel happy, and the speed of the team slowed down.

In fact, lanterns are the same in many ways. If two people put lanterns bought from different places together, no one will be able to tell whether they are from the same family.

So, after a group of people searched for a long time, there was no result.

After visiting most of the Lantern Festival, even if I was very excited at the beginning, my interest gradually faded.

A group of people stopped next to a dim sum shop, two maidservants went to buy dim sum, Gu Tianyue stood beside him with his hands behind his back, waiting for the dim sum to fill his stomach.

In addition to looking at lanterns, people who visit the Lantern Festival also look at people.

The dignified prince, the daughter of the governor of Qingyun, the mighty guards, and the pretty maids, not counting the common people don't know their identities, but handsome men and beautiful women attract countless eyes wherever they go.

Standing next to the dim sum shop for a while, there were many women's laughter around me.

Su He, the only one with "average appearance", who is even more ordinary when he is not smiling, stands far away, not wanting to be with him.

Su He looked at the maid who was buying dim sum, and felt that the dim sum he bought was not for him, but he touched his pocket again, and the money was all spent yesterday.There is also a copper plate in the pocket, and a small red flower on the front collar.

A bag of stinky tofu was handed to him.Su He looked up and saw that Yan Xilan was still holding another bag in the other hand.

It was obviously for himself, Su He took it bluntly, and did not forget to greet Gu Tianyue while eating, "Be careful that the prince is angry."

Yan Xilan smiled and said, "I asked a long time ago, but no one gave me any favors. Fortunately, you took it, Su He. Otherwise, I would be the only one eating, and everyone else would be eating dim sum. It feels so strange."

Su He filled his stomach and praised happily, "Ms. Yan is really understanding, gentle and generous. If anyone can marry a woman like Ms. Yan, they must be blessed in the future."

Yan Xilan continued to smile and said, "But Xilan never thought about getting married."

"Huh?" Su He was taken aback.

"Father is not willing to let me marry, so I have to wrong a proud man in the world and find someone to marry." Yan Xilan spoke in a low voice, but the surroundings were still quiet.

Su He opened his eyes wide, "No wonder you don't like Wang Ye."

It was quiet again.

Yan Xilan said modestly, "No, Xilan is not worthy of the prince."

Su Heyu said earnestly, "With Miss' temperament, there are very few men who can not only win Miss's attention, but also put aside their identity and enter Miss's family."

Yan Xilan didn't take it seriously, "The word "marriage" didn't just come out of nowhere."

Su He thought for a while, and could only say, "Miss's character is indeed not as elegant as her appearance."

"Su He!" A delicate voice cut in.A maid threw a bag of things to Su He and said angrily, "Snacks!"

"Huh? Me too?" Su He was pleasantly surprised.

She was very wronged when the prince left them and went out alone with Miss Yanfu.Now the prince gave another portion of the snacks to Su He, and she felt aggrieved again.Standing in front of the two people who made her feel wronged, she hummed, "You are from our palace, so of course it's your job for the prince to take good care of you."

Born as a maidservant, no matter how wronged she feels, she will never hide the good things the prince has done.

Su He looked at Gu Tianyue in surprise, but saw the back of his head.

Gu Tianyue lowered his head and said something.

Another maidservant came over aggrieved, "My lord asked you to follow closely, but you are born as a servant and you are not around to serve you..."

Su He had no choice but to go over with a snack to thank him.

After visiting the night market for more than half, Gu Tianyue was ready to go back after taking a break to see how the restaurant's puzzles were answered.

Su He followed closely behind Gu Tianyue, but after following for a while, his eyes were attracted by two young people and children standing in the corner.The footsteps stopped, and then slowly fell...

When Gu Tianyue walked in front of the restaurant, he glanced around and frowned, "Where's Su He?"

Only then did everyone realize that Su He was gone.

Gu Tianyue narrowed his eyes angrily, and disappeared without anyone noticing.

Here, Su He walked to the corner and stopped, looking at a lonely lantern hanging on a shelf.

This is a lotus lantern, but it is poorly made. The color of the bright red pink gradient from the bottom of the flower to the tip of the flower is very uneven, and the lantern is somewhat deformed.It looks like a flat lotus, no matter what it is, it is upright and plump for beauty, no wonder no one cares about this lantern.

"Big brother, do you want to buy this lantern?" asked the little boy standing next to the young man.

Su He bent down and said, "You did this?"

"Yes... I made it." There was a nervousness in the little boy's eyes, and he looked at Su He anxiously, "This is the first lantern Xiao Sheng made, and he made it with great care."

Su He teased the child very happily, and said with a smile, "Big brother can tell that Xiao Sheng made it with great care, and this lantern is very special."

Xiao Sheng's eyes flickered with anticipation, "Brother, can you buy it?"

"Xiao Sheng." Xiao Sheng's father was dressed as a scholar, and his words seemed to have the aloofness of a scholar, and said lightly, "Didn't we agree when we came out? You can't force anything."

Xiao Sheng lowered his head.

Su He patted Xiao Sheng's head, "Don't be sad, Xiao Sheng, take your lantern to the restaurant in front, many people will want it."

Xiao Sheng raised his head, "Really?"

The boy's father was surprised, "You..."

Su He said calmly, "You made that golden and jade lantern."

The young man looked uncertain.

Su He asked curiously, "You must know the puzzle from the restaurant. Why don't you let your child take the lotus lantern he made to the restaurant? You can win 100 taels of silver."

The young man said sternly, "How can you collect other money even if you collect the other party's reward?"

Su He was puzzled again, "You are highly skilled, why did you hide your identity from the world?" As he spoke, he looked him in the eye and secretly hoped that it wasn't what he thought.

The young man said, "I can tell you, and you also have to tell me how you guessed my identity."

"Okay." Su He nodded, "It's fair, but you go first."

The young man paused, and then sighed, "It's just a family rule to conceal my identity. Besides, I don't want to reveal my identity. I used to make my family suffer a lot because of my skill in making lanterns, and I've been defeated ever since. What's so good about such an identity that the world can't tell me?" Pursue, blur the appearance."

"Well..." Su He pondered, and said, "Indeed, the appearance is blurred, just like I can see from the skeleton of this lantern, it is exactly the same as the Jinyu Mantang lantern. The making of lanterns is similar to outsiders, but it is also There are different sects, and each sect has different characteristics. Except for coloring, paper, and shape, that is, the weaving method to support the whole lantern. The 81 lanterns together seem simple, but the role of the bracket is not. It's very rare."

The young man froze for a moment, and couldn't help praising, "Little brother has good eyesight."
