    The fat boss smiled in a naive manner, but his expression was obviously unbelieving: Would a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy still be afraid of getting lost?  Moreover, the two people in front of them look nothing alike. Looking at the girl Nangong Jing's pink and jade carvings, she is smart and cute, and the boss understands: In this peaceful and prosperous age, singing and dancing are flourishing, who doesn't have some special hobbies?

    I just feel a pity for the good girls in this capital. All the handsome young men have gone to Duanxiu Longyang

    Qi Yan withdrew her gaze, her amber eyes were calm and calm, she didn't care what the stranger thought.

    Nangong Jingnu snorted when she heard Qi Yan calling himself her elder brother. Then she thought about it and there was nothing wrong with him. He was already four years older than her.

    Nangong Jingnu finally selected two of the dazzling masks, shook Qi Yan's arm, and followed Qi Yan's words and shouted sweetly: "Brother, I want these two."

    Qi Yan turned her head and saw two words clearly coming out of Nangong Jingnu's eyes - pay.

    An ominous premonition arose in my heart. I smiled and greeted the boss, pulling Nangong Jingnu aside. Nangong Jingnu exclaimed, "Brother, I haven't bought the mask yet!"

    "I'll buy it later. Brother has something to tell you."

    When the two came to the side, Qi Yan asked hesitantly: "Your Highnesshave you brought any money?"

    Nangong Jingnu lowered her voice and replied: "I never bring money!"

    Hearing this, Qi Yan took a breath: "I don't have any money either."

    Nangong Jingnu¡¯s eyes widened and she said in disbelief: ¡°Why don¡¯t you bring it?¡±

    Qi Yan looked embarrassed: "I don't have money"

    "Where's your salary?"

    Qi Yan innocently replied: "The prince-in-law's salary is not paid until the second day of February every year. I used to have some savings, but after the examination, I built a private house in the south of the city. The monthly salary and chewing heads of all the servants in the mansion cost as much as  It's up to me to take care of it. To be honest, Your Highness, I'm already short of money. I'll just wait until the second day of February when the salary is paid, and I can take it back to my private residence and give it to my servants."

    Nangong Jingnu couldn¡¯t believe her ears!  How could the prince-in-law of Princess Zhenzhen's mansion, who was of the third rank and dignified, be so poor?

    Immediately he was like a deflated rubber ball: "What should we do? Do we want to go back home?"

    Qi Yan squeezed Nangong Jingnu¡¯s palm and said with a smile: ¡°Please believe me, Your Highness, the Lantern Festival is just as fun without money.¡±

    "What does this mean?"

    "The night market will continue until dawn. Your Highness, please don't rush to buy anything. Can you go shopping first and then buy before returning home?"

    Nangong Jingnu pouted: What else can I buy if I don¡¯t have the money for a mask?  However, he still nodded and did not refute it.

    She looked back at the mask stall that was gradually going away, feeling a little aggrieved: she thought that there were countless rare treasures in Princess Zhenzhen's mansion, with mountains of gold, silver and jewels piled up, and even just taking them out of the treasury would be enough for ordinary people to live for a while.  As a result, I couldn¡¯t even afford two masks when I visited Shangyuan Night Market for the first time!

    So sad!

    The two walked forward hand in hand. Unfortunately, both sides of the street were filled with food stalls. The aroma was filled with hot white smoke, and the vendors' unique and long shouts made people salivate.

    In order to eat more folk snacks at the night market, Nangong Jingnu deliberately left her stomach for dinner and only drank a bowl of soup. After walking for half an hour, she was already hungry.

    "Candied haws on a stick~Two penny a bunch, five copper coins and three bunches~Candied haws on a stick, candied haws on a stick~"

    Nangong Jingnu couldn¡¯t help but stop. The street vendor looked over her shoulder at the straw pillar, which was filled with red candied haws.

    I couldn¡¯t help but lick my lips.

    "Hurry, hurry, it's starting"

    "The lantern riddle array at Tingyulou has begun!"

    Qi Yan stopped one person and asked, "May I ask your Excellency, where are these people going in a hurry?"

    "You don't hear Xiongtai's accent as a local, do you? Every year during the Lantern Festival, the owner of Tingyulou will put out hundreds of taels of silver and put up a lantern riddle array. You only need one copper plate to participate, and there will be a generous reward for those who compete to the end!"

    "Excuse me, where is Tingyu Tower located?"

    "Dong Third Street! Just follow the crowd and you can see it."

    "Thank you."

    Nangong Jingnu asked excitedly: "Do you want to participate?"

    Qi Yan nodded: "Maybe you can give it a try."

    ¡°What about the entry money?¡±

    Qi Yan smiled and pulled Nangong Jingnu to the candied haws stall. There stood a seven or eight-year-old boy, holding a clay figurine in his hand and looking longingly at the candied haws on a straw pillar.Nangong Jingnu said doubtfully: "Aren't you afraid that Tingyulou won't be able to pay such a generous bonus?"

    A middle-aged man next to him smiled and said: "Young master, you can rest assured. Tingyulou is a century-old brand in the capital, and its financial resources are unfathomable. Moreover, this lantern riddle formation is not easy to break into. The lantern riddles just now are just for fun."  Hi Qian'er. I come to see the lantern riddle array every Lantern Festival, and no one has made it to the end for almost ten years. Almost everyone in the capital knows that the lantern riddle array in Tingyulou is not easy to get through. Look, not enough people are on stage.  As for the hundreds of people, most of them are uninformed outsiders.¡±

    Nangong Jingnu raised her eyes and looked up: Sure enough, there were not many people joining the battle, roughly a few dozen people.  There were at least hundreds of people who guessed the lantern riddles correctly just now, which was really very few in comparison.

    The middle-aged man next to him continued: "It is said that the owner of Tingyulou is an elegant man with superb business skills. The rules are set by him himself. If you get the answer wrong, you will not get a penny. Just watch, young master: wait for those who join in the fun.  Most outsiders will give up after reading the first question. I wonder if anyone will reach the top this year"

    Nangong Jingnu looked at Qi Yan and saw him taking the charcoal pen and paper presented by the waiter and standing in the queue waiting for the question.

    With a "bang" sound, the gong in front of the lantern riddle array was struck, and the dark crowd fell silent instantly.

    The examiner at the first level stood up slowly, took out a square piece of paper from his arms, unfolded it slowly, and shook it in his hand.

    "The mystery is revealed!"

    After a while, someone in the front row exclaimed: "A blank piece of paper? There is not a single word on this paper!"

    "Blank paper? What kind of question is this?"
