Farmer’s Stepmother’s Skillful Farming

Chapter 822: Dejected

With so many people flying kites here, there must be someone selling kites.

Even if there are no kite sellers, most of the kite-flyers here are farmers. If they are given two silver coins, the children are probably willing to do so.

Jiang Huanrun feels that this is not a problem.

Seeing what his master said, Mo Shu had no choice but to refuse. He just asked the coachman to drive the carriage closer. When the carriage could not go any further, he helped Jiang Huanrun get out of the carriage and walked towards the children flying kites.

 “There are so many kites and they are so beautiful.”

Jiang Huanrun watched the children playing there, and couldn't help but grinned because of the laughter. He looked up at the large and small kites floating in the sky, and felt that his eyes were too busy.

Mo Shu saw that Jiang Huanrun liked these kites very much, so he hurriedly asked the children nearby whose kites were willing to be sold.

Most of the people flying kites here are from Baijia Village, and their families are well-off. Now I see people coming to buy kites, without even asking the price, and just shaking their heads like a rattle.

 Being number one is a prestigious thing, but that’s something money can’t buy. How can you sell the kite easily?

What's more, the kite in my hand was tied by my own hands. It's a bit false to say that it's hard to find a piece of kite, but it can't be bought casually.

Mo Shu asked around, but no one was willing to sell kites. He was dejected and just gave Jiang Huanrun a general explanation. He was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he just advised, "Don't feel bad, young master. I heard that they were all here fifteen years ago." "Kite flyers, I'll tie up a good one for the young master when I get home, and come back with the young master tomorrow."

"My parents are very strict. I'm afraid I won't be able to come out tomorrow." Jiang Huanrun was currently thinking about finding a kite and playing with others. He didn't care about what Mo Shu said. He just patrolled back and forth to see who was there. Do you have any extra kites on hand?

 The kite I am flying in my hand refuses to be sold, but it is possible to sell the extra kite.

I was looking around and found a little girl squatting next to the field bank, holding two kites in her hands.

Seeing this, Jiang Huanrun didn't even bother to let Mo Shu ask, and ran straight over, "Excuse me, can you sell me one of the kites in your hand?"

"Selling you a kite?" Bai Lixia didn't expect someone to ask this suddenly, and looked at Jiang Huanrun with some surprise.

When she saw what he was wearing, she laughed and said, "You are from the village in the west, right? Looking at you like this, I guess you are very greedy when you see so many people flying kites here, so you just want to do it." Get up and fly your kite."

Being said to his heart, Jiang Huanrun scratched his ears and smiled.

"But I can't sell this kite. Not just me, I'm afraid no one else will sell the kite here." Bai Lixia said with a smile.

“Why is this?” Jiang Huanrun asked curiously, then reached for the purse tied around his waist, “I can give you more money.”

“Fifty taels of silver per kite, do you want to sell it?”

Jiang Huanrun heard from the boys that most farmers nearby were living a hard life. Five taels of silver was enough for a family to spend for a year. An adult who went out to make money might not be able to earn so much in a year.

He paid five taels of silver, but he didn't believe that the little girl in front of him wouldn't sell him a kite.

"I really don't want to sell it." Bai Lixia grinned. "It took us several days to build this kite. My brother even wrote a poem for me himself. This can't be sold for five taels of silver."

 I actually feel that five taels of silver is too little...

Jiang Huanrun felt a little embarrassed and blushed, "I'll pay ten taels!"

"Don't talk about ten taels. You can't even give me a hundred taels. This thing can't be exchanged for a thousand pieces of gold." Bai Lixia glanced at Jiang Huanrun, took the two kites in his hands, and left without looking back. Jiang Huanrun suddenly looked defeated and downcast.

The boys on the side looked at Bai Lixia's back suspiciously and muttered, "Master, please ignore her. The lion is talking loudly. He looks like a peasant boy. He can't even pay a hundred taels, and he's not afraid of making big talk." Tongue."

"You don't often live in the nearby village." A boy about thirteen or fourteen years old looked at Jiang Huanrun and Mo Shu and explained, "You probably don't know that most of the children flying kites are from Baijia Village. ”

"Baijia Village is the richest village near us. The workshops and mushroom sheds in the village make a lot of money, and all the villagers have a lot of money. I heard that even the poorest families can have meat for every meal. ”

"They are flying kites this time. The gentleman in the clan school said that whoever makes the best kite and flies the kite high will be rewarded. Baijia Village is proud of its clan culture, so naturally it values ​​this more than yours. Two silver coins."

“If you really want to join in the fun, just go to the town and buy a kite and come back and join in the fun. If you want to buy it from the children in Baijia Village, forget it.”

After the young man finished speaking, someone called him next to him, so he waved his hand and went to play with his friends.

Jiang Huanrun nodded thoughtfully, "I see. No wonder these kites are very unique. They are not like those sold outside. They are more or less the same."

 Because this kite is special, I really want to buy it. Now that I know that this kite cannot even be bought, my desire to get a kite becomes even stronger.

 However, just like I asked the little girl just now, I asked several people, but no one was willing to sell it.

Jiang Huanrun turned into an eggplant that was beaten by frost, and could not even lift his wilted head.

"You didn't buy it." Bai Lixia went home to get water for her sister and younger siblings. When she came back, she saw Jiang Huanrun still wandering around here, so she walked over.

 “Yeah.” Jiang Huanrun nodded.

The child in front of him looked younger than him, with a look of eagerness. It was time to remind Bai Lixia of the time when Su Mulan was still confused a few years ago.

At that time, he and his younger brothers and sisters were also watching others playing eagerly, their eyes turning red with envy.

　　Although the child in front of me does not seem to be poor, but it is so rare. I guess it is because the head of the family is strict and does not allow him to come out to play casually. It is also very pitiful.

Bai Lixia thought for a while, "If you really want to play, I'll give you this kite. The poem on it was also written by my brother, but he read it and I copied it. The handwriting is not that beautiful, but it's OK. This poem is I haven’t signed it yet, so it’s okay for you to play with it.”

As he spoke, Bai Lixia handed Jiang Huanrun a kite with an eagle pattern.

“How much is it?” Jiang Huanrun hurriedly went to dig out his wallet.

His purse was small, with only a few taels of silver in it. Seeing this, Jiang Huanrun hurriedly called Mo Shu to get the purse to get money for Bai Lixia.

"No money, just take it and play with it." Bai Lixia handed the kite over.

Jiang Huanrun took it blankly and thanked Bai Lixia.

“Then you can play here while I go look for my sister and younger brothers and sisters.”
