"Have you heard that yesterday, the lantern riddle hall in Chang'an City, which had been hanging for eight years, was taken away by a boy!"
"Take it away? Is it stolen?"
"What stole it? It was clearly that boy, who guessed ten riddles correctly in a row, and then got the lantern?"
"Someone guessed the ten riddles right?"
The next morning, news that Zhao Chen took away the lantern worth hundreds of gold at the Lantern Riddle Hall spread in Chang'an City.
Duan Mansion and Duan Lun burned incense and bathed in the morning. He wanted to find the person who carved the dragon pattern according to the address that Empress Changsun sent to him.
Although he was curious about Empress Changsun's repeated orders, he did not allow him to reveal his identities and other people.
But Duan Lun thought that he was just looking for this magical person’s identity and other things, it didn’t matter.
"Tell me that I won't come back at noon today." Duan Lun carefully sorted out his clothes again and said to the maid next to him.
I took a step and walked out of the mansion.
"Wait, my uncle has something to tell you!" Duan Lun just walked to the front yard and heard his uncle's voice coming from behind him.
"Uncle!" Duan Lun stopped and turned around to salute his uncle.
"Uncle, my nephew has something important to go out. If you have anything to do, please wait until my nephew comes back!" Duan Lun said.
He is now extremely eager to see the strange man carved with dragon patterns!
With such a wonderful carving method, if this person cannot be summoned to the Ministry of Works, it will definitely be a loss to the Tang Dynasty.
Duan Lun was very anxious, so anxious that he didn't even have time to talk to his uncle.
"Stop, you must meet this person today." The old man who invited Zhao Chen before shouted with Duan Lun.
"Last night at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, a boy guessed ten riddles correctly in a row, and it was the most difficult row, and finally took away the lantern."
"If such a genius can be recruited and trained, it will definitely be your great help in the future!" said the old man and Duan Lun.
In eight years, no one has been able to guess all the riddles.
But last night, the boy did it.
I finally got the address of the boy. Duan Lun had something big to do today and he had to put it aside.
"Comfortable, I..."
"Shut up, this is the address!" the old man scolded and handed a note in his hand to Duan Lun.
"Hmm?" Duan Lun reluctantly took the note.
Just a glance, I saw that the address on the note was exactly the same as the address sent to me by Queen Changsun!
I couldn't help but feel shocked at the moment.
"Uncle, where does the address on this note come from?" Duan Lun looked at the old man with great surprise.
"Last night, I asked the boy for a long time before he reluctantly wrote down this address. Why, you know this place!" the old man said with a frown.
"I don't know you!" Duan Lun shook his head and then said, "Uncle, what I want to go to today is also this place."
"Maybe, the person you met yesterday is the one I'm going to visit!" A trace of shock flashed across Duan Lun's face.
I thought to myself, could it be that a person who possesses such craftsmanship is just a boy?
"What are you going to see that young man?" The old man looked at Duan Lun in surprise.
"Uncle, I won't come back at noon today!" Duan Lun did not continue talking to the old man, turned around and asked him to run outside the mansion.
...
"Young Master, let me be honest, is it you who was guessing the ten riddles yesterday?"
In the Forget-Wait Tavern, Uncle Fu looked at Zhao Chen expectantly.
When he went shopping on the street today, he heard people talking about what happened last night everywhere.
A young man actually guessed ten riddles correctly in a row.
I picked the lanterns that no one had taken away in those eight years!
"Uncle Fu, you asked me to guess riddles. Now that my fame has been played out, no one has come to look for me!" Zhao Chen said to Uncle Fu with a smile.
"It's indeed a young master. I know that who can have such great ability except my young master in Chang'an City?"
"By the way, young master, why don't you take it back?" Uncle Fu had automatically ignored Zhao Chen's complaints at this moment.
He looked at Zhao Chen with excitement on his face.
"Oh, Miss Ruoshuang was here last night, so I gave her this lantern. It would be useless to keep it here for us anyway!" Zhao Chen explained casually.
"What's the expression of Miss Ruoshuang?" Fu Bo asked Zhao Chen curiously.
"No expression, just like usual!" Zhao Chen said.
"That's how it is!" Uncle Fu seemed a little disappointed.
"Ahem, is this Wangyou Tavern?" A middle-aged man's voice suddenly came from outside the tavern.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw this man walking in.
"I dare to ask you two, is this Wangyou Tavern?" Duan Lun looked at the old and the young in front of him and asked.
According to what his uncle said, the person who guessed ten riddles in a row should be this young man!
But was the carved patterns on His Majesty the Emperor's chair from this young man or the old man?
"Didn't it be written at the door?" Zhao Chen glanced at the middle-aged man in front of him and said casually.
Generally, people who ask questions like this will not be a good thing next!
"The old man is the shopkeeper, and there are other people in this tavern?" Duan Lun was naturally not able to make him angry in just one or two words.
Although he was unhappy, Duan Lun also asked with a smile.
He wanted to make sure that this tavern was just these two people.
Is the carving person the same person as the riddle guesser?
"My son is the shopkeeper, does the guest official want to have a meal?" Uncle Fu said with a smile.
These two days, the tavern has no business.
After finally having guests come to the door, Uncle Fu naturally wanted to treat him well!
"Yes, go to some of your tavern's specialties!" Duan Lun said with a smile.
I already knew in my heart that the boy in front of me was the person he was looking for today!
But why does this boy look...
"Then you please rest for a while, I'll prepare for you now!" Uncle Fu said with a smile.
After saying hello to Zhao Chen, he turned around and went to the kitchen.
"Shopkeeper, yesterday you guessed ten riddles correctly in a row and took away the lantern worth hundreds of gold?" Seeing Uncle Fu leave, Duan Lun began his own temptation.
"Are you sent by Shangshu Duan?" Zhao Chen replied without raising his head.
This young man is very quick-minded and knows his origin.
But I didn't guess my true identity!
"That's right, the shopkeeper is so young and has such talent and knowledge. It's really admirable for everyone. By the way, I don't know the shopkeeper's name?" Duan Lun said to Zhao Chen with a smile.
But he had already begun to win over relationships with Zhao Chen.
Duan Lun thought that he would have a better relationship with Zhao Chen, and that when it comes to the craftsmanship, he should be much better!
"I have already told the old man that I have no interest in going to the Duan Mansion."
"If you eat today, eat well. If you don't want to eat, please leave!" Zhao Chen glanced at Duan Lun and said lightly.
Zhao Chen couldn't hear the person in front of him trying to win over his relationship with him.
