Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation       Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

When they reached the county seat, Jian Qingqing and the three little ones immediately jumped out of the car. Jian Qingqing ran as she waved her hands behind her. “Father! Mother! You guys go on a date! We’ll go play by ourselves!”

“Sigh…” Before Mother Jian could call her, Jian Qingqing and the three little ones disappeared without a trace.

Jian Dalang held her hand and chuckled. “Let’s go, Wife. Let’s go play.”

Mother Jian looked at him shyly and shook his hand back. She hummed in agreement.

Jian Qingqing and her group of four went to the food street. It was rare to see such a lively scene today. Many people specially picked this day to cook delicious food and sell it to supplement their household expenses, therefore, there were many delicacies that could not be eaten on a normal day.

Jian Qingqing saw that everything was fresh and she brought a serving. There were too many delicacies. If everyone ate a serving, they would definitely not be able to finish it. Therefore, the four of them only ordered one serving and each of them ate a bit. This way, they could taste all of it.

Jian Qingqing, who felt that it was not delicious, left it all to Xiao Lang. Anyway, he was not picky about food. Just like that, Jian Qingqing walked in front empty-handed, while Xiao Lang carried a pile of food and ate as he tollowed behind her, Xiao Hu and Xiao Ye took less, and they ate what they liked.

After walking through the snack street from beginning to end, everyone ate until they were full.

Jian Qingqing waved her hand and said, “Leti s go! Let’s go see the lanterns!”

There were quite a number of people making lanterns today. All of them were organized by rich people. The tallest one in the middle was made by the county. Whoever could guess the lantern riddle correctly would be able to take the lantern they wanted.

Jian Qingqing took a fancy to the one at the highest point. That one was from the county office. Many people who saw it had no results.

She asked the guard to show her the riddle. The moment she saw the note, she immediately handed it to Xiao Ye.

She could read the words individually, but she did not know what they meant.

After Xiao Ye finished reading it, he frowned and thought for a while. Looking at Jian Qingqing’s expectant look, he said, “Sister, let me think about it again.”

“Okay.” Jian Qingqing nodded. “I’ m not in a hurry. Take your time.” She trusted Xiao Ye’s intelligence very much.

Xiao Ye rarely had questions that he did not recognize. He was very unconvinced. He frowned and flipped through the paper again and again.

The lighthouse keeper smiled and said, “Young Master, it doesn’t matter if you can’t think of anything. This is a question written by our county magistrate. Most people don’t know how to do it.”

Jian Qingqing sighed with emotion. It was indeed a question written by a proud son of heaven. She could not even understand it.

At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice sounded, “Miss Jian, Xiao Hu, Xiao Ye, Xiao Lang. Are you guys coming out to play?”

Jian Qingqing turned around and saw that it was Ming Zhiyan. She smiled and greeted him, “Big Brother Ming, you really arrived just like that. We were talking about you just now. Why is the question written by you so difficult? I can’t even understand it.”

Hearing Jian Qingqing’s coquettish voice, Ming Zhiyan’s heart skipped a beat. He acknowledged his mistake and said, “It’s my problem.”

“No, it’s just that I’m too stupid. Brother Ming, you’re really knowledgeable.” Ming Zhiyan looked at Xiao Ye and asked, “Haven’t you figured it out yet?”

Xiao Ye shook his head in embarrassment.

Ming Zhiyan reminded him, “It’s from ‘Spring and Autumn.”

Xiao Ye’s eyes lit up and he immediately gave an answer.

The guard took down the lantern with a smile and handed it to Jian Qingqing.

The onlookers suddenly realized, “So that’s how it is! Why didn’t I think of it! It’s so simple!”
