Chapter 270 Tinglan (4)
"Boss, how do you sell these lanterns?"

Seeing that Hua Que liked it, Song Tinglan wanted to buy it for her, so he asked.

But the boss shook his head.

"This lantern is not for sale, I gave it to you for guessing lantern riddles."

"Guessing lantern riddles?" Song Tinglan had never been exposed to this kind of thing. Hearing this, he became interested and asked: "Excuse me, boss, how do you guess this lantern riddle?"

The boss raised his hand and pointed to a shed not far away. There was a circle of lanterns hanging around the shed, with a note hanging on each lantern.

But some of the lanterns had been extinguished, and the note on them was gone.

"That's where the lantern riddles are guessed. Each person can guess ten times. If he succeeds ten times, he will be able to get this lantern."

"If you know the answer to the riddle, just pull down the note and come to me with the answer."

As the boss was talking, someone happened to pull the note down. When the note was pulled down, the lantern happened to be extinguished.

Song Tinglan basically understood the rules and walked over with Hua Que who was eager to try.

She had never guessed a lantern riddle before, and she didn't know whether it was difficult or easy. As for the lotus lantern, she had to guess 10 out of 10 times. In this case, she had to choose the one she was sure she could guess right.

Song Tinglan led Hua Que to the shed, raised his head and looked at the note hanging on the lantern.

After reading the content of the note clearly, she already made a decision in her heart, so she reached out her hand without hesitation to pull the note off.

When her hand just touched the note, a hand stretched out diagonally from the side, and happened to touch the same note as Song Tinglan.

Song Tinglan frowned. In line with the principle of not wanting to be troublesome, he just wanted to retract his hand, but the other party had already let go of his hand.

So she stopped being polite and directly pulled the note down and held it in her hands.

"Girl, I'm really sorry. I was rude."

The other party smiled apologetically at Song Tinglan. Song Tinglan was startled and shook his head: "It's okay."

After all, the other party was a man, and she didn't want to talk too much with him. After nodding towards the man, she took Hua Que straight to the other side.

The man who stayed where he was was staring blankly in the direction she left.

Song Tinglan originally thought that this lantern riddle would be difficult, but she didn't expect that it would be like this. She took the flower magpie around in a circle, carefully selected ten that were sure of it, and picked off the slips of paper.

Even the flower magpie picked a few and prepared to join in the fun for a while.

Basically, they are related to ancient poetry. Hua Que has been reading and literacy with Song Tinglan since he was a child. Although he did not learn as many and sophisticated things as Song Tinglan, he can be regarded as familiar with some poems, not to mention that he can guess the eighth or ninth level. , there are almost seven or eight floors.

There was only one lotus lantern, and Song Tinglan was afraid that it would be taken away by others if it was too late. After picking out ten lanterns, he took the flower magpie and hurried to the boss's stall.

But there happened to be a man in front of her.

The two stopped together in front of the boss. Song Tinglan pursed her lips and said nothing.

The man standing in front of her was the one just now. He was dressed in a crescent white robe, with a face as beautiful as a crown jewel. He was holding a folding fan in his hand and his posture was a bit lazy.

The boss took a stack of notes from his hand and answered the answers one by one in the book next to him.

Listening to the correct answers from the boss, Song Tinglan pursed her lips and felt a little nervous.

The lotus lantern is so beautiful that many people come just for it. What's more, it seemed to her that there was only one lantern. If the person in front of her picked it, she would have to choose something else.

It wasn't until the boss took out the last piece of paper that Song Tinglan's heart began to lift.

"Congratulations, young master! Ten guesses out of ten are correct!" the boss smiled. He led the man to the side where the rewards were placed and introduced to him: "Our rule is that if you guess ten out of ten guesses, you can take away this cup." Lantern."

He pointed to the hanging lotus lantern and explained to the man in detail: "There is only one of these lanterns every year. Whether you take it back for collection or give it away, it is excellent. It is no exaggeration to say that our family This lantern has captured the hearts of many girls this year.”

Song Tinglan pursed her lips, knowing in her heart that she was basically out of luck.

But the man didn't seem to be very interested in what the boss said. He didn't know what he was looking at and was a little lost. He didn't react until the boss called him twice.

"Can I only replace this one?" he asked with a frown.

The boss was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to ask this question, and the man repeated it again.

The boss hurriedly replied: "Of course not! If you guess ten out of ten, you can choose any other lanterns in our house."

Seeing that the man had no intention of choosing the lotus lantern, the boss seemed a little puzzled, thinking that he didn't know how difficult it was to get this lantern. He explained: "This lantern is wanted by many people. Sir, are you sure you want to choose it?" Something else?”

The man nodded, looking past the row of lanterns on the table, and finally casually picked up a fox lantern in the corner with a casual attitude: "Then let's take this."

The boss responded and wrapped it up for him, which was a pity.

His family's lantern riddles are notoriously difficult. If the young master doesn't choose this lotus lantern, I'm afraid he won't be able to give it away this year.

"Boss." Song Tinglan's voice was soft. She put a stack of notes in her hand in front of her boss: "This is my lantern riddle, and what is written at the back is my answer. I'm sorry to bother you, boss."

The boss then cheered up, took the note from Song Tinglan, and continued to look through the book one by one.

The boss didn't care much when the first one was correct, but after getting five correct ones in a row, the boss finally looked serious.

He sat upright and flipped through the book with a serious look on his face.

I originally thought that I could only get six or seven items right, but until I reached the ninth item, I got them all right.

The boss was now more nervous than Song Tinglan.

Today is the last day of the lantern festival, and the stalls will be closed soon. If the largest lotus lantern cannot be given away, there is a high probability that it will not be given away this year and will have to be taken home.

This has never happened in previous years.

The boss turned over the answer to the last lantern riddle with almost trembling hands.

"Exactly!" He breathed quickly and stood up in a hurry, with a smile on his face: "Congratulations, girl! You guessed ten out of ten! This lotus lantern can only be taken away by the person who guessed ten out of ten. You can see which one you like better. A lantern?"

Afraid that Song Tinglan would be another one who didn't like this lotus lantern, the boss hurriedly repeated it again.

Hua Que looked at her with bright eyes, almost waving flags and shouting for her.

"Young lady is so amazing!"

Song Tinglan pursed her lips and smiled, her eyes fell on the exquisite lotus lantern hanging in the middle, and she made a decision almost immediately: "That's it."

"Okay." The boss smiled happily and hurriedly took off the lantern and handed it to her.
