Chapter 273: Contest
Chapter 273 Competition
Dugu Huanxu froze for a moment, then smiled helplessly in his heart, does this girl also have eyes on the top of her head?
He originally wanted to continue to watch the excitement.
No way, he had no choice but to go on.
Shopkeeper Zhuang originally heard that Nangong Anshan was in trouble, and was about to solve it. Unexpectedly, Dugu Huanxu went there in person, so he was no longer worried.
Yin Liming knew Dugu Huanxu's identity, and Dugu Huanxu had also warned all the people in the county government not to reveal his identity outside, and they all called him Mr. Xu.
Yin Liming said respectfully: "Young Master Xu, did you see everything just now?"
"Yes." Dugu Huanxu looked at the man, "He's lying, what the girl said is true, I guess this man was instructed by someone, otherwise he wouldn't have directly Fall on that lady."
Yin Liming said: "So that's how it is, come and take that man to the county government for me."
As soon as the voice fell, two people came out from behind him, and went forward to arrest the man.
The man panicked suddenly. Seeing two people grabbing his hand, he said tremblingly, "You... you can't arrest me. I'm not wrong. It's that stinking girl who lied. You should arrest her."
Yin Liming said: "If you caught the wrong person, you will know when you go to the county government."
After finishing speaking, he said to Dugu Huanxu again: "Young Master Xu, then I will excuse you."
"it is good."
Dugu Huanxu looked at Nangong Anshan again, and said, "Ashan, let's go eat, I've ordered all the dishes, and I'll wait for you to come over."
Nangong Anshan was taken aback, "How did you know I would come?"
Dugu Huanxu smiled and said: "Today's lantern festival, I guess you will come."
"All right."
Nangong Anshan didn't ask any more questions when she heard the words, and walked inside with her family.
At the top of the stairs, Nangong Anshan personally carried A Niang up, and Feng Yuan helped lift the wheelchair up.
When he got to the private room, Dugu Huanxu saw Nangong Sheng was carrying something covered by sackcloth, and asked, "Is this your lantern?"
Nan Gongsheng nodded: "Yes, our family did it together, and the design was designed by Ah Shan."
Dugu Huanxu said: "May I take a look first?"
"Of course." Nangong Anshan lifted the sackcloth to reveal the lantern.
Dugu Huanxu stared at the lantern for a moment, "It's so beautiful."
Nangong Anshan smiled and said, "It looks even better when lit."
Dugu Huanxu asked again: "What material is this made of?"
"It's a thing called paper."
"What is paper?"
"This... let's eat first, I will tell you in detail later, I can't explain clearly in a sentence or two."
"All right."
At this time, Xiaoer has already served the last dish.
Although they are all dishes that Nangong Anshan often cooks at home, the whole family still eats them with mouthfuls of oil, which is very satisfying.
The chef of Yuquan Building deserves to be taught by Nangong Anshan, the taste of the cooking is basically the same as that of her cooking.
When the meal was almost finished, someone outside beat gongs and drums, saying that the lantern festival competition had begun.
Nangong Anshan asked: "Axu, don't you plan to participate in the lantern festival? You didn't bring a lantern."
Dugu Huanxu said: "No plan, I have no interest in lantern festivals."
"Okay, then we are going there, do you want to come too?"
"Yes, although I don't want to participate in the competition, I really want to watch the fun."
A group of people went to the lantern festival.
The venue of the competition is not far from Yuquan Tower, just a few steps away. It is on the largest square in Blue Cloud City.
One after another, many people have already come.
Nangong Anshan came early, so she squeezed into the front seat.
On the stage in the square, a host saw a lot of people coming, and said loudly: "Everyone, be quiet."
Slowly, everyone became quiet.
Nangong Anshan glanced at that person, and was taken aback for a moment, it was actually Yin Liming.
By the way, a lantern festival of this scale must be led by the government, and it is not surprising that people from the government preside over it.
Yin Liming said: "Good evening, everyone. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it's time for our annual lantern competition. It's the same as the rules of previous years. Those who want to participate in the competition should bring your lanterns to sign up, and then On the stage, two hundred people we selected on the spot will be the judges, and the three best lanterns of this year will be selected in three rounds. Of course, in order to prevent anyone from cheating, the county magistrate will finally select the most beautiful lanterns of this year."
"Now, everyone who wants to participate in the competition, come forward with your lanterns, sign up on my left, and those who want to participate in the judging, sign up on my right, and you can start now. Don't be crowded, everyone who is crowded will Get caught in prison, everyone be careful."
Nangong Anshan hurried to sign up.
After a long while, all the people who were going to participate in the competition and the judges signed up.
Nangong Anshan was assigned to the last group and was the last to appear.
Soon, the game began.
Nan Gongsheng originally wanted to be a judge, but he was not old enough, so he had to stand aside, looking nervously at everyone's lanterns with his mother and siblings.
Originally, Nangong Yao was still very nervous, for fear that her elder sister would lose.
But seeing that everyone's lanterns were not as beautiful as theirs, Nangong Yao was relieved.
Yin Liming and the people next to him said: "I thought this year's lantern would be something special, but it turned out to be the same as last year. It's really boring."
"I also think that some people even directly used the lanterns they won last year to run for the election. Do we really think we have no memory?"
"That's right, I think some people regard us as fools."
"It's really boring. I don't think there will be any unusual lanterns this year."
Yin Liming saw that the last person was Nangong Anshan, and said with a smile: "The last one hasn't come out yet, let's wait."
"makes sense."
Xiao Rushuang also came to participate in this lantern festival, she was in front of Nangong Anshan.
As soon as Xiao Rushuang turned her head, she saw Nangong Anshan behind her, and said contemptuously, "A vulgar girl like you actually came to participate in the competition?"
Nangong Anshan smiled and said, "You are participating in the competition with the vulgar me now, so are you also vulgar?"
"You!" Xiao Rushuang said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense. The lantern competition is held by the government and is sacred. Only people with my identity can participate. You should withdraw quickly to avoid It's too ugly to lose later."
Nangong Anshan was surprised: "You mean, we ordinary people are not worthy of participating in today's competition? Is this competition for you ladies?"
People around have been listening to the two of them, and hearing what Nangong Anshan said, everyone looked at Xiao Rushuang angrily.
