The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 39

Most rural households grow some mulberry trees, and many also raise silkworms, which are important sources of income in addition to agriculture.

Since it's a spring outing, we naturally won't walk too fast, but rather enjoy the scenery along the way, including the unnamed wildflowers and weeds.

In addition, vast fields of yellow rapeseed flowers bloomed, creating a beautiful scene. Finally, we arrived at the riverbank, where willows still swayed gently along the shore.

Xu Tian remembered this place; it wasn't far from where Wang Anping had been kidnapped and ransomed last time. The surrounding area was indeed quite open, and many people frequented this place.

Several people who came brought kites and had already flown them, with kites fluttering in the sky.

Xu Tian assembled the large kite he brought, and before it even took to the sky, it attracted the attention of those around him, who exclaimed in amazement at how huge the kite was.

When the large butterfly kite was launched into the sky, it was even more dazzling, completely overshadowing the other small kites.

With the spring breeze blowing from the river, the giant kite soared higher and higher, quickly surpassing the other kites and eventually reaching a completely different level, at least twice as high, and could be seen from a great distance.

He casually handed the eagle kite to Song Liang beside him and began assembling the other two kites.

Then the eagle and the centipede also took flight, and the three large kites echoed each other in the sky, becoming the most outstanding figures in the sky at that moment.

The children ran and shouted, having a wonderful time.

Just as everyone was having fun, a group of young women approached from a distance.

These women's clothes, while not exactly luxurious, were much brighter than the ordinary clothes worn by common people, immediately attracting the attention of many tourists.

Xu Tian glanced at it casually, not paying much attention, his focus still on the kite he was holding.

His kite was a centipede, and to create the effect of it swaying from side to side, he had to keep his hands moving.

"Young Master Xu, are you well?" Suddenly, a female voice greeted him from the side.

He turned his head and was immediately greeted by a fresh and beautiful young girl. He then recognized her as Deng Niangzi's younger sister, Deng Yuzhi.

Since the two had only met a few times at Mr. Cui's house and hadn't spoken much, they weren't very familiar with each other and almost didn't recognize each other at first.

She must have really taken his advice to wear less makeup, because today the girl was only wearing very light makeup.

Xu Tian glanced around again but didn't see Deng Niangzi. There was only a group of young women not far away, so Deng Yuzhi must have come with them.

"Hey, Yuzhi, where's your older sister?"

Based on previous encounters, I remember that Madam Deng kept her younger sister under strict control, or rather, she placed high hopes on her and cherished her dearly. So it was a bit strange that she didn't appear with her today.

“Young Master Xu, my elder sister has some matters to attend to at home today, so I came out for a spring outing with some of the sisters in the building and a few guests.”

"Yes, it's good to get out and about more. Walking around and listening to the sounds of nature might even be beneficial for your musical development." Xu Tian had a good impression of this girl who was proficient in musical instruments; she seemed like the girl next door.

"Also, stop calling me 'Young Master' all the time. Just call me Brother Xu or Elder Brother."

"Well, Brother Xu, everyone's still waiting, so I'll head over now." Yu Zhi was still a little embarrassed.
