Farmer’s Little Girl

Chapter 845: Pull the line

   Chapter 845

  Wei Ting ran home with two pots of white peonies. As soon as he walked in, he happily went to his grandmother and mother, and one person gave them a pot.

  Mrs. Wei and Mrs. Wei were very happy. Looking at the flowers delivered to them, they couldn’t help holding Wei Ting’s hand and boasting, “You still know how to honor us.”

  Master Wei came over to hear him, frowned slightly, and asked: "Today is neither a ten-day holiday nor a holiday. Why did you come home?"

  Wei Ting's body became stiff, only then did he remember that he had come out over the wall.

However, Wei Ting was used to playing truant. He didn't change his face and lied. "I learned from my classmate that there are white peony in pure color outside. I thought that my grandmother and mother liked it, so I took a half-day vacation from school. Come out and go back to school tomorrow."

Master Wei also has experience in dealing with truancy. He squinted his eyes and asked, "Really? Then you have to do your extracurricular homework. Come here, go to Mr. Zhai's house and ask the young master today. What is the assignment."

  Wei Ting's feet became soft, so he limped to school the next day.

  Bai Shan had just arrived at school before the book basket was put down. As soon as he looked up and saw him coming in with gritted teeth and limping, he smiled and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

  Wei Ting sighed and said, "Yesterday I was so proud and forgot that I was playing truant. Hey, why didn't you remind me?"

  Bai Shan said with no difference: "We forgot too."

  Wei Ting didn't doubt at all, he sighed, "My father sent someone to talk to Mr. Zhai yesterday, and I will be punished by Mr. Zhai later."

   Ji Hao couldn’t help asking: “What did you do when you went to school yesterday?”

   "I went to see Manbao's Peony," Wei Ting also regretted with him, "It's a pity that you went too early yesterday, otherwise you should have a look, her peony is really good."

   Ji Hao raised his heart and asked: "Did you buy it?"

  Wei Ting nodded, "Yes, I bought two pots of white peonies."

   Ji Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Is Yao Huang and Wei Zi still there?"

"Naturally, that flower is so expensive, where we can afford it, but I told my grandmother that her old man was very interested and said that she would go and take a look today." Wei Ting said, "The two potted flowers are indeed. Okay, is your mother going to see it?"

   Ji Hao was silent for a moment.

  His mother is also very interested, but I am afraid that she will not go there in person, but will send a nanny to get it.

   Ji Hao rubbed his forehead and asked Wei Ting, “Can’t you give me the flowers to my mother?”

  Wei Ting frowned and said: "This is a matter for the adults. How can we mix with the juniors so that they can get the higher prices."

  He doesn’t care, what does he care?

   Ji Hao did not speak.

The two of them didn’t know. It’s not just Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Wei who wanted to buy these two pots. Man Bao went out to the pharmacy early in the morning. When he was going to school, Man Bao asked Chu Lang to go out with a pot of white peonies.

  Daji asked, "Miss Man won't go to school today?"

  Man Bao: "Stop going, today we will go to the county government."

  Man Bao went to send flowers to Mrs. Tang. Although she prefers orchids, it does not mean that she dislikes peonies.

Mrs. Tang saw this pot of white peony with excellent appearance, smiled and did not accept it, "Man Bao, you and your husband are friends, just tell me if you can. I will help if you can. Sending such a great gift."

  Man Bao smiled and said: "This potted flower is not very valuable, it is only worth 16 taels. If Mrs. Tang finds it valuable, you can give me 16 taels."

  Ms. Tang doesn’t believe it, she comes from Chang’an, Chang’an Sheng Peony, so she naturally knows how much the peony is worth.

   "How can it be only sixteen taels?"

  Man Baodao: "The first pot of flowers was sold for 16 taels, and the rest were only worth 16 taels."

  Ms. Tang blinked and asked, "Who bought the first pot of flowers? Listen to you, do you still have many white peonies?"

  Man Bao smiled and said, “I have 22 pots in total, and I have one pot at home, and the remaining 21 pots are for takeaway.”

  Ms. Tang finally believed that she only paid 16 taels for this flower. She smiled and asked, "Then you came to me this time for?"

"I would like to ask Mrs. Tang to invite Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Ming. I have two pots of Yao Huang and Wei Zi in my house. I don't know if they are interested." Man Bao said, "The Ji family and the Wei family already want Come take a look."

  Ms. Tang was surprised, "You want to..."

  "I would like to invite a few ladies to appreciate these potted flowers first. The good flowers will naturally match those who love flowers."

Mrs. Tang smiled and said: "You are not brave enough. If you dare to invite so many ladies to come, then I will have a banquet in Ganxianglou, and I will simply post and invite the four ladies to take a look. But, this way Come, your pot of flowers seems to be scarce."

  Man Bao nodded, "The flowers should also be in pairs. I will ask my fourth brother to send another pot of white peonies in a while, and the lady will look more pleasing to the eye."

  Ms. Tang couldn’t help but smile. She liked talking to smart people the most.

Man Bao really asked Chu Lang to send another pot of white peonies. At the moment, two pots of peonies were placed on the porch of their home. The county magistrate Tang had seen it when he came back for supper and couldn’t help but stop and admire it. He smiled and asked, "Madam, where did you buy these two pots of flowers?"

  Mrs. Tang smiled, "Guess?"

   "Changan?"

  Mrs. Tang shook her head.

  The county magistrate of Tang said with a smile: "It can't always be Luoyang, right? Did you send someone to Luoyang?"

  Ms. Tang gave him a sideways glance and said: "Am I that unreliable? In order to buy potted flowers, I sent someone to Luoyang."

  Tang county magistrate smiled and said, "Madame certainly wouldn’t be like this, so I was curious about where Madam bought this flower."

   "Your little friend sent it." Jiang Manbao wants to sell flowers, and there are two pots of Yao Huang Wei Zi at home.

  The county magistrate of Tang was taken aback for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Zhou Man? Are you sure she wants to sell flowers?"

  "Can I still recognize her?" Mrs. Tang said: "I thought she had a good hand in growing orchids, but I didn't expect to be good at growing peonies."

  The county magistrate of Tang was puzzled and wondered why she became interested in selling flowers.

  Ms. Tang didn’t think much about it, she told her about helping her lead, "I think your kid is still very interesting."

  The county magistrate of Tang returned to his senses and smiled: "It's rare for someone to be able to talk to you, so you can get along well."

  At this time, Man Baocai in the small courtyard sent away the people from the Ji family and the Wei family. Both families sent a steward to look at the flowers and prepared the money to buy it back, but Man Bao refused.

  The Ji family is okay. After all, Man Bao and their family have another relationship, but the Wei family's steward complex is not very good.

  But they didn't dare to say anything in front of the Ji family, smiled and said goodbye to Man Bao, got in the car and left.

  Bai Shanzhi glanced at their backs and said to Man Bao: "Let Mrs. Tang set the time for the day after tomorrow. I will take a break and go with you."

  Man Bao nodded without comment.

    The next update is around 7pm
