Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 429

Chapter 429 Brilliant Literary Talent
Yun Xiao stood together with Yun Min and Yun Xi. Big Brother and Second Brother were standing on the periphery of them, while the guards she brought over were scattered to the left and right, while Qing Mo and Qing Liu were leaning against her.

Yun Xiao glanced at it, and her eyes were filled with red and willow green shadows. The crowd surged and followed suit.

Yun Xiao’s gaze skipped over everyone in the surroundings, wanting to see if there was any danger. The scene of prosperity in front of her made Yun Xiao’s vigilance in her heart relax a little.

Along the way, they looked at the lanterns and bought quite a few things.

Seeing that the crowd in front of them was crowded and lively, Yun Min immediately pulled Yun Xiao and Yun Xi forward and said, “Big sister, fourth sister, you must be guessing the lantern riddle over there. Let’s go take a look as well.”

The two of them agreed and followed. As Yun Xiao walked, she looked around curiously.

In her previous life, she had been brought out by Yun Yang. When she met Zhou Jingyan, she only cared about shyness. The Lantern Festival didn’t look too much. Now that she saw the Lantern Festival, her eyes were filled with curiosity.

Very quickly, they arrived in front of a small vendor not far away. There were three floors inside and three floors outside, and they could not see what was happening inside.

The few of them waited for a while before walking forward. Even when they saw that there were many lanterns placed in front of the stall vendor, these lanterns were different from other places. They were made vividly and lifelike, and they were all exquisite animals. They were everywhere, much more beautiful than the lanterns they usually saw.

More importantly, these lanterns weren’t tied with paper or cloth. Instead, they were made from clay and other pigments. They were extremely beautiful.

No wonder they let so many people surround them.

Just as she squeezed in, Yun Min exclaimed, “These lanterns are really beautiful.”

Even the self-sustaining Yun Xi was a little surprised this time. Even though he said, “It really looks good. If only I could buy it.”

Such an exquisite little thing, many people would definitely want to keep it.

When Yun Xiao heard their words, the corner of her mouth curled up slightly. She also liked these lanterns very much. In addition, these lanterns were really too exquisite. If he could take one back for Brother Han, his sullen anger would be relieved.

After making up her mind, Yun Xiao immediately said, “Good sisters, take a look. How can we take these lanterns away?”

There were words written in front of him, but Yun Xiao’s eyes were not complete yet. She could only vaguely see the shadows. As for the words on the wall, it was still too difficult for Yun Xiao.

Yun Xi looked at the rules as he wrote. After reading them, he said, “Fourth sister, it’s written here. If you guess the riddle here correctly, you will be given a lantern. Once you guess fifty copper coins, you will get a lantern. However, no matter how much money you take, you can only guess three times.”

After hearing this, Yun Xiao’s eyes lit up slightly. The corners of his mouth curled into a faint smile. This businessman was really a good strategist. If he didn’t sell such lanterns directly, many people would definitely like to guess. If they could guess correctly, selling one lantern was not a loss. If they couldn’t guess correctly, these fifty copper coins would be profitable. This business was doing well.

In addition, a person could only guess three times. This method of selling lanterns was truly unheard of. It must have attracted many people’s attention. In this way, there was no need to worry about selling lanterns.

Yun Xiao secretly nodded. Yun Min immediately said, “Let’s guess.” Even if she was a maidservant, she would hand over the copper coins that the three of them had to guess three times.

A few people stood in line and chatted. Soon, they arrived at Yun Xiao’s side. The vendor owner said to them, “The rules here must have been heard by a few girls. I won’t say any more. Please guess the riddle.”

Yun Xiao and the others went over together and waited for the lantern riddle.

The first question was: Yeye talking about archery.

This question was Yun Min’s. However, she frowned and thought for a while, but did not think of it. She was so anxious that her head was covered in sweat. Yun Xiao frowned and whispered in Yun Min’s ear, “Thank you.”

Yun Min’s eyes lit up and she immediately said it.

The boss looked at Yun Xiao in surprise, then looked at Yun Min, even if someone gave her a lantern.

Yun Min, who had received the lantern, looked at the lifelike and exquisite rabbit and was immediately overwhelmed with joy, “Come again and again.”

The boss immediately asked the second question: Winter, December, paper windows.

When Yun Min saw the question, even if she was stupid, she immediately looked at Yun Xiao like a reflex.

Yun Xiao supported her forehead, but she also guessed and told Yun Min the riddle, “It’s Saposhnikovia.” Saposhnikovia is a Chinese herbal medicine. She didn’t expect that the lantern riddle would have such a problem.

With Yun Xiao’s help, Yun Min got three lanterns in a row. Her delicate little face was full of smiles. She thanked Yun Xiao repeatedly and wanted to give the lanterns to Yun Xiao, but Yun Xiao smiled. “I still have to guess the riddle later. If I don’t guess correctly, Second Sister can give it to me again.”

Yun Min felt that what Yun Xiao said was reasonable. She believed that Yun Xiao could guess all the riddles of the lantern. In her heart, there was also a trace of gratitude and admiration for Yun Xiao.

Next, it was Yun Xi. Yun Xi was better than Yun Min, guessing one lantern riddle, while the other two, although they didn’t guess correctly, Yun Xiao helped out and got three lanterns.

Very quickly, the lantern riddle arrived at Yun Xiao’s place. Yun Xiao thought for a while and thought that these riddles were very interesting. Basically, they had studied all aspects of the riddles. There were some about history books, some about traditional Chinese medicine, and some numbers. Therefore, after reading so many riddles from before, Yun Xiao was looking forward to the next riddles in her heart.

The first question is about Chinese medicine: priceless treasures.

Yun Xiao basically didn’t even think about it and reported the answer, “No gold.”

The boss looked at Yun Xiao in surprise and asked the servant to give Yun Xiao a lantern.

Question 2: Jade Qilin Liangshan capsized, black whirlwind Xunyang Luojiang.

Yun Xiao still quickly answered, “Push the boat along the river.”

He got another lantern, and the people around him looked at it strangely. Unexpectedly, they had guessed the lantern riddle for a long time, but they had never guessed it. Now, instead, Yun Xiao opened her mouth and came.

Many people began to panic, especially when they saw that the lanterns on the table were getting fewer and fewer. If Yun Xiao and the others had all guessed the riddle, with Yun Xiao’s help, they might not be able to see the lanterns.

However, they could not guess the puzzle, so they could only secretly coax.

The boss immediately comforted, “Everyone, calm down. There are still many lanterns. Everyone has a chance.” He immediately instructed the servants around him, “Hurry up and take out all the lanterns. Also, bring out the glass lanterns.”

The servant immediately trotted away. The surrounding people were satisfied after seeing this. They were secretly curious about the glass lamp the boss had mentioned. What kind of lamp was it that the boss was so precious? They were not willing to take it out now?

But very quickly, these people knew the answer.

The attendant handed a beautifully packaged box to the boss. The boss carefully opened the package outside. Everyone felt a golden glow in front of them. Many people took in a breath of cold air. It was simply too beautiful for the lanterns to be made like this!

When he looked over, he saw that the glass lamp in the owner’s hand was made of some unknown material. It was all transparent and painted with ink plums. However, this plum blossom was different from the ones elsewhere. They were all plum blossoms that were just about to bloom.

Inside the glass lamp, the ground was a golden yellow color. It pounced faintly on the ground. There seemed to be something dancing on it. The reflection of the shadow was like a beauty, faintly visible under the illumination of the light. It was extremely beautiful.

Everyone who saw this glass lamp was filled with fanaticism. Everyone wanted to take it for themselves.

Although Yun Xiao could not see it clearly, she could still feel that this glass lamp was somewhat different from the one elsewhere. Her heart also had a strange feeling. However, for some reason, her left eyelid jumped up.

Yun Xiao did not know what was going on, nor did she pay any attention to it.

The boss said loudly, “May I ask if this young lady is the fourth young lady of the Yun Family?”

Yun Xiao nodded, “Could it be that you want to guess the lantern and ask for your identity?” Ever since she was divorced, she was made county princess. Although she did not show up often, many people in the capital knew her.

The owner’s voice was calm, but it caused the surrounding people to rumble. “I only heard that Anping County’s main essay is brilliant, so I had the intention to give this glass lamp to the county princess. The county princess still has a chance to guess the riddle. If I can guess the riddle, this glass lamp will be given to the county princess.” The owner’s voice was calm, but it caused the surrounding people to rumble. The glass lamp was about to be gifted!

The happiest of them was Yun Min. She grabbed Yun Xiao’s wrist and said, “Fourth sister, guess quickly. As long as you guess correctly, this glass lamp will belong to fourth sister.” Even if the glass lamp was not given to her, she still entered the Yun Clan. She could occasionally visit it a few times in the future.

Of course, fourth sister is going to get married soon. When the time comes, having such a glass lamp as a dowry will not be worth much, but it will also be glorious! Yun Min’s eyes were filled with envy, but she wasn’t jealous either. She didn’t have this literary talent, so she guessed it was also brilliant. The three lanterns in her hand were all won by her fourth sister!

Compared to the joy and excitement of the crowd, Yun Xiao was not as happy as everyone thought. Her eyelids twitched again, causing Yun Xiao to have a bad feeling.

Thinking back to how this boss didn’t give him anything but wanted to give him the glass lamp, no matter how she looked at it, it felt strange. Even though she had sealed the title of county princess, the county princess who didn’t have real power and fief was just putting on a good face, but in fact, it was useless at all.

For some reason, Yun Xiao had a feeling in her heart that this person had set up this lantern stall and attracted so many people in order to let her come.

She didn’t know why she felt this way, but this feeling was getting stronger and stronger.

If something unusual happened, there must be a demon. It should be the problem with the glass lamp. Since the boss wanted to collect the glass lamp, it meant that there really was something strange about the glass lamp. She also looked at what kind of treasure it was. So even if she answered, she said, “Please ask me a question.”
