As the person in charge said, after they finished watching the performance of the song, those who were in charge of the calculation had also stopped their movements, and handed over the final results to the hands of the person in charge one by one, and the gong sounded again, this time to focus everyone's attention.

"Alright, guys, now that the final results are out, and they are in my hands, I will announce the final results now. Of the twenty-three who had entered the second level before, five of them had not finished writing the answers to a hundred puzzles, so they were eliminated directly, and they were...... It's a pity! The next eighteen all wrote the answers to the riddles, but only three of them answered correctly, namely the businessman Huo Lingshang, the eldest son of the Shangshu family Li Daofeng, and the eldest brother of the prince An Beixiang, congratulations to the three! As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding, and the others also applauded.

"But at the same time, since all three of you have answered a hundred riddles correctly, please proceed to the third level. The third level is very simple, there are paper, glue and wood for making lanterns, as well as some tools necessary for making lanterns, please make a lantern in half an hour, as for what it looks like, please do it yourself according to your like. The person in charge pointed to the three things that had been brought up.

"And if someone gets all the 100 puzzles right, then they move on to the third level. In fact, among the three levels, the third level that may not be there is the most interesting, because the content of the third level is different every year, and there is no way to predict, so this is the interesting part. Yan Qihao said, took out a folded piece of paper, opened it, and continued:

"I remember last year was playing chess, and two of them answered correctly, the year before last, I said how many shops there were in Nanlongguo, how many towns and villages, because there were five people who answered correctly, and the year before was no, four years ago, it was three, and the third level was to use a flute or flute to play an old song of Nanlongguo, a song that should only be known to their ancestors. In short, there is everything, so the third level is the most difficult to predict. Yan Qihao watched as the three of them had already started making lanterns, and carefully explained to them the special features of the third level.

"I see! But Yan boy, since you can answer it, then I think the Southern Dragon Kingdom also has a record of the Lantern Festival every year, so you can get accurate information, and now you can explain it to us. Next time, you can also suggest to your brother to make the Lantern Festival in Beiyan Kingdom more lively, to be precise, it should be more interesting. After listening to Yan Qihao's explanation, Guan Lao said.

"Good! It may not necessarily be a way to use the dragon lantern as a prize, but you can also think of another way to make everyone more lively and happy. Because now the Lantern Festival in the Northern Yan Kingdom still only has three ways to guess lantern riddles, enjoy lanterns, and eat Lantern Festival, and guessing lantern riddles is only for everyone to participate, that is, one person can get lanterns if they guess one. But in this way, although everyone can participate, there is also a lack of something special, so now referring to the Lantern Festival in the Southern Dragon Kingdom, we have also come up with a way to make it lively. Yan Qihao nodded, knowing that Guan Lao was kind enough to make a suggestion, which was also a suggestion that could be followed.

While a few people were talking, half an hour passed quickly, and the three people who made the lantern were not completed, so they entered the middle step, because they were not people who could make lanterns, and now it was only because the third level was this competition, there was no way, so I had to do it reluctantly, but fortunately, the person who came up with this level also seemed to take into account that they would not do it, so the production method was also attached to it.

But even so, because they were all doing it for the first time, of course the movements were not fast, and they couldn't make a lantern in half an hour, but they still worked hard, hoping to get the dragon lantern in the end.

"Dong-" The gong sounded, indicating that the time was up, and the eyes of Yan Qihao and the others followed the sound of the gong and fell in the center of the field, watching the three people stop their movements one by one, and then the people next to them picked up the three lanterns that had not yet been completed one by one.

"Well, the hour has come, and now please take a good look at the three lanterns, and see that the half-finished lantern is the best. While you may not be the last judge, your opinion is important! Of course, for the sake of fairness, we won't let everyone know who made these three lanterns. As he spoke, the three men with three half-finished lanterns came to everyone and asked them to take a closer look. Zhan Xiaoyan was also escorted by Yan Qihao and squeezed into the crowd, because she also wanted to see how they were doing.

"The three of them are rabbit lights, lotus lamps and magpie lights, all of which are relatively simple practices, but they are all not completed, but the connection methods and traces of the wooden frames of these three lanterns are different, and the wooden frames on the rabbit lamps are connected ...... "The people who see the lanterns also have special skills in making lanterns, so they can also make professional comments, and the people who saw it next to him also looked carefully according to what he said, and made sure that what he said was not wrong, and they all nodded." However, everyone evaluated not only how well they made it, but also which of the three lanterns they preferred at first glance.

"Alright, you're done, now invite two hundred of you to come here and take out the paper and throw it in front of the lantern you think is good, please come forward!" After a quarter of an hour had passed, the person in charge spoke again, this time to speak to everyone who had seen the lantern, so everyone hurried to the front, hoping to put their opinions on it.

"Qihao, this way is interesting, because the person in charge of the capital is obviously randomly selected to watch, and there is no specific person to vote, so it is completely everyone's opinion, which is very good, and allows people to start from their most subjective opinions, so in the end, the person who gets the dragon lantern may not be the expected person! I guess it might be the merchant who won, because in the current world, the merchant still has to rank behind the peasants, so I think the merchant called Huo Lingshang must have wanted to get the heirloom and the things that belonged to the palace, so he would come to participate. ”

After seeing the three half-finished lanterns, Zhan Xiaoyan left the crowd and returned to his original position to sit down, waiting for the final results to be counted. Because they don't need to vote, they just need to watch the fun.

"yes. Because there are more people who like to watch the excitement, there are basically more ordinary people, so I am not afraid that there will be any one of these three people who will specially arrange for them to be in it, so the final result should be fair. Smiling, do you want to see it all the way to the end, or do you want to go straight back? Because I see that you've yawned five times since now, which means you're sleepy, so if you want to know the final result, I can also let Akakage stay here and watch, and I'll tell you the result tomorrow! ”

Yan Qihao replied with a smile, but then admonished. Because the hour is really not early, it is already more than half of the hour at this time, and they have already rested in normal times, and today is because of the Lantern Festival, so they are still outside.

"No, it's going to be quick to wait for the results to come out anyway, let's go back when we see the end!" Zhan Xiaoyan shook his head and said, then leaned his head on Yan Qihao's shoulder, obviously deciding that if he waited for ten moves, he would have to wait until the final result came out before falling asleep.

Yan Qihao understood what she meant, so he glanced at Zhan Xiaoning and asked her to take out the cloak she had specially brought and drape it on Zhan Xiaoyan's body. Although she only said a few words just now, the action of leaning on her shoulder at this time made him clearly understand what she meant, and he would let her rely on it comfortably and at ease.

"Okay, now that the votes of the two hundred have been completed, my companions are calculating, please wait a while, the final result will come out soon, and you will know the ownership of this dragon lantern immediately!" The person in charge looked at the three half-finished lanterns in front of him, and said to everyone who was looking forward to knowing the final answer as much as he did, and his companions were also working hard to count, and it was quickly completed, and the final result was written on paper and placed in the person in charge's hand.

"Okay, the final result has come out, now let me read out the number of votes for the three people." As he spoke, the person in charge opened the paper that the person had just folded and handed him, and everyone watched his every move, although it only took a few breaths to open the paper, but in this case, eager to know the final result, in fact, time passed very slowly.

"Alright, now I'm going to announce the number of votes for the three. The three votes were fifty-three votes, seventy-one votes and seventy-six votes, and the winner won with only five votes, this person is Huo Lingshang, the merchant who made the magpie lantern, that is, the winner of this year's dragon lantern, let us all congratulate him and celebrate him with applause for winning this dragon lantern this year! ”

The person in charge accurately reported the three numbers, and then reported their names, and the final result was the same as Zhan Xiaoyan had guessed before, that Huo Lingshang had won. Hearing the result, she could no longer hold back the already thick sleepiness, and fell asleep by Yan Qihao, Yan Qihao nodded to the others, and then picked up her smile and left here, and the others followed.

But now that Zhan Xiaoyan is asleep, of course they can't make a carriage, so they plan to walk back all, in fact, it only takes a quarter of an hour to walk back, so there is no delay or anything. However, because Chiying and Ben Lei Benyun both carried lanterns in their hands, Zhan Xiaoyu and Zhan Xiaotian also held a few in their hands, and even Guan Lao also carried two in his hands, and Zhan Xiaoning also carried them because he liked the appearance of a lantern, so it was also very good for everyone to walk back.

The next day, everyone began to pack up their things back to the city, because the Lantern Festival has also passed, so it will be almost the same as going back today and tomorrow. Of course, the four subordinates before didn't let them come after the Chinese New Year, because they wouldn't have stayed in the Southern Dragon Kingdom in the first month, so everything was just done by themselves.

"By the way, sister, our things have been packed up, after a good night's sleep tonight, we can leave for home tomorrow, I think Sister Shiyun must miss us very much." Because we also sent the letter to the Hou Mansion before we set off to come to the Southern Dragon Kingdom, she came to the villa that night. Originally, she really wanted to come with us, but because the old lady was sick, she had to serve the sick, so she couldn't come with us, and she would be very happy when we went back! After lunch, everyone was resting, Zhan Xiaoning thought about the things she had packed up in the morning, and said.

"Really? Luckily, I bought a lot of gifts for Shiyun and her children, so if she gets angry, I'll coax her well. Zhan Xiaoyan said after eating a petal of orange.

And I have to say that although the four of their brothers were born in the Eastern Wei Kingdom, she has been living in the Northern Yan Kingdom since she was six years old, although she is aware of the development of the previous life, so she doesn't want to take the three brothers and sisters to the same path as the previous life, so she will flee to the Northern Yan Kingdom instead. But after getting along here for more than nine years, I have long been used to it, and I have been traveling for more than nine months, and now I am also thinking about going back, and I am in a good mood.

But it seemed that every time they were ready to leave or on their way, the weather was always bad, because when they woke up the next day, the light outside the window was not too bright, and they could still hear the sound of the rain, apparently because it was raining today. I didn't expect the weather to change so much in winter, obviously it was sunny yesterday, but I didn't expect it to rain at night, so the rain hasn't stopped today. However, Zhan Xiaoyan and the others were not affected, since it was raining, then continue to rest for a day, anyway, the lease of the house will not end until February.

It's always been so easy since the trip, and it's even more so now that the family is together, so no matter what the weather, it's all about enjoying it, not to mention that they're going back today. And the weather is never something that people can control, so it can also be said that since it is raining today, it means that this land of the Southern Dragon Kingdom wants them to stay for another day, so they just stay and wait for the rain to stop before continuing to set off. Originally, there was nothing at home that needed to make them rush back, so everything just let it be, and then go back tomorrow! (To be continued.) )
