Chapter 34: Fighting Lantern Riddles (I)
Xiao Nan gasped when he heard this, the shopkeeper of "Yunhu Qingzhai" is so generous, whether it is the white Duan Yan in the Four Treasures of the Study or the "Linchuan Collection" written by Yan Zhenqing himself, it has long been extinct in later generations, not to mention the later generations, even in the current era, these two things are by no means available to everyone.

Yan Zhenqing's autograph collection will not be said for the time being, but it is said that the inkstone in the post-Tang Dynasty has been exhausted, and the inkstone of the descendants has to be changed to She, and the end inkstone left by the previous dynasty is mostly in the pocket of the powerful and the royal family, which is basically rare on the market, but the shopkeeper of "Yunhu Qingzhai" opened his mouth to give each of these two things a set, Xiao Nan's heart that rarely has a strong desire for something is uncontrollably beating violently, and her gaze at "Yunhu Qingzhai" unconsciously became extremely hot, Even his breath was much shorter.
She loved calligraphy in her previous life, whether it was line, grass, Kai, or flying white body, she has reached the state of great success, among which she especially loves Yan Ti, and in later generations she collected Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy rubbing, such as "Song Wei Tablet", "Baguan Zhai Bao De Ji", "Yuan Jie Tablet", "Zang Huaike Tablet", "Oriental Shuo Painting Praise Tablet" and so on, but there is no one of his true works, now I heard that here is not only a rare party of the Duan inkstone, but also a set of Yan Zhenqing's own handwriting "Linchuan Collection", Xiao Nan's heart throbbing can be imagined.
"How is it, the eldest lady is also moved when she listens?" Song Haoting on the side couldn't help but smile when he saw this, he himself is also a person who loves calligraphy, the first time he heard the reward of "Yunhu Qingzhai", his performance was similar to Xiao Nan, but unfortunately, in the past few years, he has come here more than once to solve the riddle, the twelve lantern riddles hanging on the first floor, he solved seven at most one at a time, and then wanted to go further, but the puzzles behind could not be solved no matter what, now I can see Xiao Nan's look, although a little surprised, but I can understand her mood.
Although Song Haoting has only seen Xiao Nan once, he has heard his grandfather praise this daughter many times, saying that she was born with a lot of wisdom, whether it is writing or practicing martial arts, it is not comparable to ordinary people.
Seeing the scorching and joyful light in Xiao Nan's eyes when he heard the reward of "Yunhu Qingzhai", he believed his grandfather's words a little, for an ordinary country child of this age, he may not know what Duan Yan and "Linchuan Collection" are, and where can he have such a strong desire like Xiao Nan.
The reward of "Yunhu Qingzhai" is precious, but if you are not a person who really loves calligraphy, you are curious and excited about it at most, but you have such a deep desire, which only needs to look at Song Nuo to know, Song Nuo is also very interested in the reward of "Yunhu Qingzhai", but she does not find that she likes these things in her heart, but feels that if she can get these rewards, she will have a deep sense of achievement, Lin Zhi heard the voice, and her eyes also showed a look of interest, but it was far less hot than Xiao Nan.
"Of course, although I am not as knowledgeable as Senior Brother Song, I have always liked calligraphy, and I have been learning white body with my grandfather before, but recently I have been learning Yan style, how can I not be interested in this "Linchuan Collection" written by Yan Zhenqing's own handwriting? And if you want to write well, a good pen and ink inkstone is indispensable, among the rewards thrown by "Yunhu Qingzhai", whether it is a white jade purple pen, a high-grade pine smoke ink, or a white inkstone, it is a rare item, if I am not interested, it is not normal! Xiao Nan's face was full of words.
"Haha, my aunt is reasonable, the first time I heard the reward of "Yunhu Qingzhai", I was even more fanatical than you, but then I hit a wall properly, and the enthusiasm in my heart slowly dissipated a lot." Song Haoting laughed.
"I understand what my brother means, but whether it works or not, I have to try to know, by the way, I almost forgot to ask one thing clearly, does the thirty-six lantern riddles of "Yunhu Qingzhai" need to be solved by one person to win the award, or no matter who it is, how many people have guessed the puzzle, as long as the last one to solve the thirty-sixth lamp can win the award or what?" Xiao Nan smiled slightly when he heard this, and then remembered an important question, and hurriedly asked again.
"There is no limit to the number of people, and those who can solve the last lantern riddle will receive a reward." Song Haoting replied that he had come here to participate in the test more than once, and the rules were much more familiar than Song Nuo, who only watched the excitement.
"Wouldn't that be unfair to those in front of you?" Xiao Nanqi said.
"I don't know if that's true, but in view of the fact that in the past five years, no one in "Yunhu Qingzhai" has been able to solve all the riddles of the twelve riddle lanterns hanging on the first floor, if someone can really solve all the riddles of the thirty-six lamps this time, no one will be dissatisfied with the winners." Song Haoting said.
"Very good, then let's squeeze in." Xiao Nan breathed a sigh of relief, and then paid attention to the thirty-six lanterns in front of the door of "Yunhu Qingzhai", originally she really didn't want to be in the limelight, but for this set of the best four treasures of the study and Yan Zhenqing's full set of "Linchuan Collection", she couldn't care about being low-key, and she had to try it with all her strength no matter what.
"Don't worry, "Yunhu Qingzhai" is different from other stores, not everyone is crowded together to answer, when the mystery is officially solved, the shopkeeper will stand up and let all the watchers stand in two teams, and the people who answer the question come forward in pairs and give the answer with their own understanding, so as to ensure the fairness of the competition environment, and let the audience know at a glance." Song Haoting was amused by her eagerness and explained with a smile.
"Song Haoting? Why, these girls are the helpers you hired today? As soon as Song Haoting's words fell, a voice that didn't sound very friendly sounded not far from them, Song Haoting raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and raised his eyes to look over, Xiao Nan, Song Nuo and Lin Zhi also involuntarily raised their eyes to look over.
I saw a young man in his twenties, with a small servant and a middle-aged scribe-like person walking towards them, the young man was dressed in a royal blue robe, his body was a few points shorter than Song Haoting, and his appearance was not bad, but standing with Song Haoting in the wind of Yushu, his demeanor was suddenly much inferior.
Xiao Nan didn't recognize this person, but Song Haoting and Song Nuo's brother and sister were obviously very familiar with them, as soon as this person's voice fell, Song Haoting had not yet spoken, Song Nuo had already snorted coldly: "Hmph, Yang Erlang, you lost in my brother's hands in the academy competition last year, didn't you say that you would take a detour when you saw him later, why did you pop out again?" ”
"Song Nuo!" Yang Ergongzi was annoyed and angry when he heard this, and immediately glared at her, but who is Miss Song Nuo, where would she take his anger seriously, she smiled like a flower and looked at the other party's cannibalistic light, without even blinking an eye.
"Erlangjun, calm down, we are here for that reward today, so why do we need to be angry with a little girl." Seeing this, the middle-aged scribe beside him said lightly beside Yang Erlang.
"Hmph, what's the use of just taking advantage of your tongue, Song Haoting, do you dare to make a bet with me?" That Yang Erlang is not a straw bag, he was persuaded by someone, and immediately woke up, he no longer paid attention to Song Nuo, turned his eyes to Song Haoting, and said with a provocative face.
