The Farm Girl's Charismatic Fortune-Chapter 337 - 333 Jubilation and Birds’ Chirping

Ruo Xuan: "I’m not lying, I really can catch!"

Princess Kangyi: "Parrots can fly, how will you catch them?"

She had once asked the guards to catch them, but even the guards weren’t able to.

Ruo Xuan blinked her big eyes, looking as if she was faced with the silliest question someone could ask, "Of course you have to use your hands to catch! Could it be that you use your feet to catch? You don’t even know this?"

Princess Kangyi: "..."

Idiot, that’s not what she meant at all!

Just then, a parrot was flapping its wings furiously overhead, as if a predator was chasing it from behind!

All the children down below heard the sound of the parrot’s wings and looked up at the sky.

"There’s a parrot coming!" a child exclaimed.

Princess Kangyi, feeling smug, said, "A parrot is coming, didn’t you say you can catch it? Go on, catch it with your hands!"

Hmph, let’s see how she gets out of this one!

She believed in her ability to memorize books, but catching birds? Without any guards or the old shopkeeper, who would be able to help her?

Ruo Xuan pretended to take out some wheat kernels from her sleeve pocket and stretched her little meaty hand toward the sky, palm facing upward.

Then the parrot landed right in Ruo Xuan’s palm and started pecking at the wheat in her hand.

Princess Kangyi: "..."

All the children cheered, "Ah! The parrot flew down! She really caught it!"

"Xuanbao is amazing; she really caught the parrot!"

"Xuanbao is so amazing! She caught it!"

...

Ruo Xuan stroked the parrot’s little head and infused a thread of Spiritual Power into it, "I caught it, who wants it?"

The parrot, now with increased intelligence, immediately said, "Xuanbao is amazing! Xuanbao is amazing! So amazing!"

Ruo Xuan couldn’t help but laugh.

This parrot has such a sweet beak, she didn’t have the heart to give it away!

Xuanyuan Jie was the first to say, "I want it! I want it!"

The other children were a beat too slow, "I want it too! Xuanbao, give it to me!"

"I want one too, Xuanbao, give it to me!"

"You all better not fight with me for it; it’s mine!"

Parrot: "Don’t fight, don’t fight! It’s mine! It’s mine!"

Xuanyuan Jie was even more pleased, "Look, the parrot said it’s mine!"

So Ruo Xuan gave the parrot to Xuanyuan Jie.

Xuanyuan Jie carefully grasped the parrot, thrilled beyond belief!

Children of noble families were taught to reciprocate kind gestures; since Xuanbao had given him such a clever parrot, he wanted even more to give her his Jade Pendant.

Because the Jade Pendant was the most valuable thing he had on him, "Xuanbao, don’t you want my Jade Pendant? It’s a pair, and we can each have one."

"No need! Just give me something else!"

Parrot: "Don’t want, don’t want!"

Since the parrot said so, Xuanyuan Jie had no choice but to give up. He stroked the parrot’s head, thinking about what to give Xuanbao.

The other children surrounded his parrot, "Ah, the parrot talked again! It talked again!"

"Parrot, say ’yao yao yao’!"

"Parrot, say ’wishing you prosperity’!"

...

Just then another parrot flew down from the sky, and the other children quickly tugged at Ruo Xuan’s clothes, "Xuanbao, there’s another parrot! Quick, catch it!"

"Xuanbao, I want that parrot!"

"Xuanbao! That parrot is over by the rockery; let’s hurry and catch it..."

Ruo Xuan’s clothes were nearly torn off by them.

She quickly said, "Don’t worry, I’ll give you some wheat kernels, and you can lure the parrots down yourselves! You can catch them yourselves!"

"Xuanbao, you’re the best!"

"Xuanbao, give them to me, give them to me first!"

...

One by one, the children stretched out their hands toward Ruo Xuan.

Xuanbao took out some wheat kernels from her sleeve pocket and distributed them to her friends.

Ruo Xuan asked Princess Kangyi, "Do you want some wheat kernels?"

"I won’t have it!" Princess Kangyi declared, storming off in a huff!

The children, holding grains of wheat, excitedly ran toward the artificial hill to lure the parrots down.

Ruo Xuan didn’t pay any attention to Princess Kangyi; she told the other children, "Don’t run, or you’ll scare the parrots away. Just stand still."

So, the children obediently stood their ground, reaching out their hands, awaiting the descent of the parrots.

Ruo Xuan reminded them to be gentle when catching the parrots, lest the birds get hurt.

Soon, a parrot from the mount flew down and pecked at the grains of wheat in a child’s palm.

The child, thrilled, grasped the parrot, "I caught it! I caught it!"

The other children grew even more envious, holding up their hands and gazing eagerly at the sky.

Hoping for a parrot to fly over.

After a while, another parrot came flying by.

"Here it comes! Here it comes!" a child called out excitedly.

"Don’t shout! What if you scare the parrot away?"

The child immediately fell silent.

The other children, too, clenched their mouths shut, but one could see the excitement in their eyes.

The parrot casually landed on another child’s palm and started pecking at the grains of wheat.

"I caught it!" freёweɓnovel.com

"I caught it!"

The young friends all looked on with envy.

Ruo Xuan reassured them, "You’ll get one soon, no need to rush."

"When you catch a parrot, you can teach it even more words!" Thereupon, the few children who had captured parrots ran off to the side to teach their birds how to speak.

Before long, every child had caught a parrot, and those who preferred magpies also caught magpies.

However, upon seeing that parrots could speak and that their colors were far more beautiful than those of magpies, they wanted parrots as well. Ruo Xuan told them to release the magpies and continue catching parrots.

By the time of the banquet, all the children had caught a parrot.

As the children ran back to ask their mothers for birdcages, holding the parrots, the ladies and noblewomen were astonished.

"Where did all these parrots come from?"

"Who gave you the parrots?"

...

"Xuanbao gave them to us!"

"Xuanbao taught us how to catch them ourselves!"

"We caught them ourselves with the wheat grains Xuanbao gave us!"

...

Upon hearing this, everyone thought that the Wuyou County Office must have raised many parrots and given one to each child.

Xuanyuan Jie, happily nestled in his mother’s embrace, exclaimed, "Mother, look how pretty my parrot is! Xuanbao gave it to me, and mine was the only one Xuanbao helped me catch; she let everyone else catch their own!"

Princess An smiled, "Really? It’s beautiful indeed!"

"It can even talk. Xuanbao is so beautiful!"

Parrot: "Xuanbao is so beautiful!"

"Mother is so beautiful!"

Parrot: "Mother is so beautiful!"

Seeing this, the other children began teaching their parrots how to speak.

Ruo Xuan had also infused a thread of Spiritual Power into the other parrots, which already possessed a natural talent for language. With Ruo Xuan’s Spiritual Power, they became even brighter, learning quickly.

For a time, the entire hall echoed with parrots mimicking words.

The atmosphere was incredibly lively!

The elder Princess of Prince An Residence marveled, "Madam Ruo, I had no idea that your family raised so many parrots. Were they for Princess Wuyou? It seems these little monkeys might have made off with all of Princess Wuyou’s parrots this time?"

Granny Lei chuckled, not knowing how to respond; her household hadn’t raised any parrots, as the birds in their household all came of their own accord.

But such miraculous matters were not something one could simply divulge!

Ruo Shan’s grand wedding was filled with cheerful voices and birdsong.

The imperial court was a man’s world, but the circles beneath it were maintained and approached through the influence of women.

From that day forward, the Ruo Family was officially part of the Capital City’s elite society, entering the circle of the city’s powerful and noble.

The ninth day of the ninth month was the Double Ninth Festival, a time for climbing high and looking into the distance.

The Ruo Family had reached the apex of the social pyramid, and although it was the lowest level of the summit, the future held promise.
