Didn’t you watch it at 7 o’clock every day? The subscriptions are much lower than the second one. The two updates are connected together. Remember to watch them all.

Liu'er was not the only one to ask questions. Questions came from all around almost at the same time.
Why put such a large sum of money here?
What do you want to do?
Show off your wealth?
"...This is the lucky draw." The lantern keeper said, holding the wooden stick. "If you can make this lamp light up, you will get five thousand taels of silver."
The onlookers were in an uproar.
Five thousand taels.
You must know that this year the Fang family's bonus for the leader of the lanterns is only one thousand taels.
Real or fake?
"Of course it's true. Are there any counterfeit banknotes from Deshengchang?" The lamplighter pointed at the glass cup that held the banknotes. "Look at this glass cup again. It's fifty taels of silver each."
.”
"Can you really take it if you win?" The person who asked was breathing heavily and his body was shaking.
Five thousand taels.
"Of course." said the lanternman.
As soon as he finished speaking, the man rushed over.
"Wait a minute." The lanternman blocked it with a wooden stick again.
He looked very thin, and the wooden stick in his hand was weak and weak, but when the wooden stick was placed on the shoulder of the person who rushed over, the person had to stop.
Someone who can be hired to guard five thousand taels of silver notes naturally has some skills.
Miss Jun nodded, the senior manager was indeed very reliable.
"Didn't I tell you? If you want to try to light this lantern, you have to pay first." The lantern keeper said, pointing to another glass lamp with broken silver scattered in it, "Try it once, ten taels of silver."
.”
Ten taels of silver!
What is the concept of ten taels of silver? It is enough for a family of three to chew for a year.
"This is too expensive!" the onlookers immediately shouted.
"Expensive?" the lamplighter sneered, "Of course it's expensive. It's equivalent to the best box of powder in the best powder store in Yangcheng, a set of pastel tea sets in Ding Kiln, and a table in Luyang Tower.
Waiting for a table is equivalent to a Northern Wolf Pen."
These words immediately silenced the onlookers.
For poor ordinary families, ten taels of silver is the guarantee of life, but what the lantern watcher lists are embellishments of the lives of wealthy people.
These ten taels of silver may or may not be expensive, depending on who they are.
To put it more unpleasantly, if you have money, you can play, and if you don’t have money, shut up. It’s just like you can’t afford the fine banquets. That’s your problem, not the problem of Hu Fenlanghao and the banquets.
Miss Jun looked at the lamplighter and nodded again.
"Besides." The lamplighter looked at the retreating people and smiled again, and tapped the glass cup with the banknotes with the wooden stick in his hand, "You can earn five thousand taels with just ten taels of silver. Is this kind of business possible?"
Isn’t it a good deal? This is only a once in a lifetime experience.”
That's right, ten taels of silver can be exchanged for five thousand taels. This deal is really a bargain.
The people who had backed away were breathing heavily again and their eyes were shining.
"I'll come," someone said, waving his sleeves and walking over.
This is a chubby rich man wearing silk and satin.
"I'm a businessman, and I want to do this business." He said, throwing the ten taels of silver in his hand into the glass cup, "Business is also gambling sometimes."
The lantern keeper confirmed that the silver fell into the glass lamp.
"Yes, if you win, the silver in these two glass cups will be yours." He said, pointing to the lantern chessboard with his wooden stick, "Please."
The chubby businessman stood in front of the chessboard, looking seriously. Just when he was getting impatient, he finally reached out and picked up a black stone and put it on the chessboard.
There are already carved spaces on the chessboard that can fit the chess pieces.
There was a sound as the zither fell, but the lantern still did not light up.
There were sighs all around.
The businessman shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and walked away.
"Who else, who else?" The lanternman took out the sunspot and continued waving the stick, "Once in twelve, once in twelve."
The onlookers looked unwilling and hesitant and talked about it. For most people, ten taels of silver was too luxurious, and not many people were willing to exchange ten taels of silver for a slim chance.
But with five thousand taels of lottery money, not many people can resist such a big temptation.
Soon someone stood up and threw ten taels of silver into the glass cup. This time he moved faster than the previous traders, and seemed to place the pieces without even thinking.
Is this a master?
The onlookers could not help but hold their breath, anticipating the moment when the lights came on.
But unfortunately, the light is still not on.
"Tch." The man flicked his sleeves, "Is it real or fake? Can it shine? It's not a lie, right?"
The crowd of onlookers immediately became silent.
It turned out to be a man from Lai Meng.
"What's wrong, what's wrong? You can't." The man snorted, "Isn't this just gambling?"
Yes, this is gambling.
It's just that the gambling is elegant, the gambling amount is large, and of course the winning amount is also large.
The eyes of the onlookers fell on the lantern, which was as dark as a bottomless cave. It made people fearful but also made them want to seize the treasure hidden inside.
………………………………………….
"Go and have a look quickly."
People on the street started running again, knocking the young people walking around again, and some people's lanterns were knocked down.
"What are you doing? Hasn't the paralytic gone home yet?" a young man said displeasedly.
"Go and take a look. There is a very powerful lantern over there. Whoever can light it can get a lot of money." The person running past replied enthusiastically.
Can you get a lot of money by lighting lanterns? Is it difficult to light lanterns? It's interesting.
Several young people looked at each other.
"It's getting late, let's go back." Ning Yunzhao said.
This was too disappointing and was immediately rejected by my companions.
"Now is the best time, how can we go back?" they said, and they couldn't help but hug him and follow the crowd.
For the Lantern Festival, this is the best time, but for Ning Yunzhao, it is a bit bad because he just encountered such a thing.
He looked down at his hand. He was still carrying the lantern that the girl had given him. He felt a little inexplicably nervous when he saw the lantern.
This is certainly not because he, a young man carrying a lantern like a woman, would be considered a sissy. Look at his companions, not only holding lanterns in their hands but also on their shoulders, swaying through the market.
Today is the Lantern Festival, and everyone can do this, especially if they are young people with high spirits and are at the right age to be romantic.
The reason why Ning Yunzhao was nervous was that he didn't know what to do with the lantern.
He thought about throwing the lantern away or giving it to someone else.
But I also feel that this is not good and I am reluctant to do so.
That blind chess game was so exciting that he even thought he might never encounter it again in his life.
But if I get to know that girl, I should still be able to fight like this.
Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but heat up slightly.
But if that woman wanted to get acquainted with him in that way, he would be disappointed.
Whether it was talking about officialdom with his uncle or interacting with classmates and friends, Ning Yunzhao was able to do it with ease, but he never expected that he would be embarrassed by a lantern at this time.
