Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

"Madam, Miss, Young Master Chang is here!" Just as Liu Xu picked up a piece of fried tofu and put it into her mouth, Uncle He's slightly hurried voice came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ruolan put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked out.

When Liu Xu saw this, she could only swallow the tofu in her mouth silently, pouting and following.

Willow Catkins: He didn’t come early or late, and arrived at other people’s meal times, leaving her hungry. She will never forgive him!

The mother and daughter walked all the way to the gate of the courtyard and saw Chang Yifei jumping off the carriage. He then opened a folding fan and waved it, looking like a wealthy young man.

Liu Xu gritted her teeth and couldn't help but yelled, "Third Brother Chang, are you going to stand at the door and face the northwest wind? If so, mother and I will go in first. If you are not hungry, we are!"

He's still waiting for someone to come out and pick him up. Look how capable he is!

"Xu'er, how can you talk like that!" Xu Ruolan turned around and scolded her daughter with a stern face. This girl's temper became more and more unruly. Then she turned around and smiled apologetically at Chang Yifei: "Yifei, you haven't eaten yet, right? The food has just been served. Come in quickly and don't bother with this girl."

"Yeah, auntie is right. I am her brother and I won't argue with her." Chang Yifei replied with a smile. He saw Liu Xu glaring at him from the corner of his eye and gave him a provocative look. He successfully saw a little girl being pissed off like a pufferfish.

Xu Ruolan naturally did not miss the little lawsuit between the two. She was a little amused and said, "Okay, come in quickly, the food will get cold soon!"

As for the two carriages behind, although he was a little confused, he did not ask too many questions. It was just a matter of a few more bowls of food.

"Aunt, wait! The carriage behind is coming to see you." Chang Yifei said as he put away his fan and looked at the mother and daughter with a smile on his face.

Liu Xu and her mother looked at each other, somewhat puzzled. Who is this person, so arrogant?

At this time, there was no need for Chang Yifei to remind him. The curtain of the carriage at the back was lifted, and Xu Huairen jumped down first. He then reached out and helped Xu Hean, who was trembling with excitement, down.

If he knew what the mother and daughter were thinking, he would probably be in tears. He was not arrogant, but when he heard his daughter's voice again, he couldn't help but burst into tears. Xu Huairen was in the car to comfort his father.

Xu Huairen supported Xu Hean and slowly walked forward.

Xu Ruolan was stunned when Xu Huairen showed his face. Her eyes started to turn red. When she saw the two people approaching, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing down...

Liu Xu was still looking at the two people coming over, but suddenly she realized that her mother's aura was not right. She turned around and saw her mother's face was full of tears. Her lips kept moving but she didn't say anything, she just kept crying.

She reached out to hold Xu Ruolan, and then looked at the two people approaching. She thought to herself, could this be her grandfather and uncle? Why do they look so different from her mother?

While she was guessing, the two men had come closer. The old man was also in tears, and he choked up and said, "Miss, I am late, and I have wronged you!" He was about to kneel down.

Xu Ruolan finally came back to her senses, and quickly stepped forward, helping the old man up while choking with sobs, "Uncle An, you must not do this, get up quickly, get up quickly! Wuuwu..."

He stopped the old one but not the young one. Liu Xu saw the young man kneel down in front of Xu Ruolan, put his head on the ground, and said sullenly: "I failed to protect the young lady, causing her to wander outside and suffer. Please punish me!"

Xu Ruolan quickly supported Xu He'an with one hand and Xu Huairen with the other, "Brother, hurry up and get up. It was such a mess back then, how can I blame you? Hurry up and get up!"

Qingfeng quickly stepped forward to help lift the man up.

Fortunately, it was lunch time and no one in the village saw it, otherwise her family would have been treated like monkeys again.

Liu Xu was impressed that she could still think about these things at this time.

But how could they hide the noise outside their house from Liu Changshun's family who lived next door?

This is not,

"Sister-in-law, Xu girl, what's this?" Liu Changshun rushed over with his wife and children.

Seeing this situation, he had some guesses in his mind.

Xu Ruolan wiped her tears and began to introduce everyone: "Xu'er, Shunzi, A'lan, this is Uncle An, the old housekeeper from my mother's family, and this is my foster brother Xu Huairen. Uncle An, foster brother, this is my daughter Liu Xu, and this is my husband's third brother Liu Changshun and his wife and children. Come here, Xu'er, quickly call Grandpa An and Uncle Huairen."

"Hello, Grandpa An, hello, Uncle Huairen!" Liu Xu smiled and bowed to the two of them.

"Hey, young lady, you can't do that!" "Young lady, you are embarrassing us!" The father and son quickly reached out to pick up the willow catkins, their eyes full of love.

At this time, Liu Changshun and his family also came forward to greet him.

"Uncle An, Brother Huairen," Liu Changshun took the lead in bowing, and Chen Lan followed suit.

"Hello, Grandpa An, hello, Uncle Huairen!" Shuisheng and Xing'er followed closely behind.

"Hey, okay, you're too polite, Third Master!" Xu He'an raised his sleeve to wipe away his tears and replied gently.

Young Master Chang told them on the way that after the son-in-law left, if it weren't for the support and help of this family, how could the young lady and the young lady wait for them to come. Therefore, Xu Hean and his son were very kind to Liu Changshun's family, with gratitude in their eyes.

"Aunt, let's go in first. Butler Xu and the others haven't eaten yet!" Chang Yifei couldn't help but speak when he saw them standing at the door.

In fact, it was because he was really hungry. He got up early in the morning and traveled such a long distance. Mr. Chang said that he could eat three bowls of rice now.

"Ah, yes, look at me! Uncle An, Ruxiong, Yifei, come into the house and warm up! Shunzi, you guys come too!" Xu Ruolan hurriedly greeted them.

"Sister-in-law, you go back first. We are having dinner now. We will come over later!" Liu Changshun refused. Xu Ruolan's family members have come, and they must have a lot to say, so their family should not disturb them for the time being.

Xu Ruolan thought about it and nodded: "Okay, then remember to come over for dinner tonight! Let He Lei and the others go to the mountains to hunt some prey later, and we'll have hotpot together tonight!"

Liu Changshun naturally did not refuse. He said goodbye to Xu Hean and others and went back to his home.

After entering the courtyard, Xu and An observed the Liu family's courtyard as they walked. They saw that although the courtyard was not big, it was still exquisite. Although the number of servants in the courtyard was not as many as that of the Xu family, it was not a small number either. They breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with some satisfaction.

Liu Xu naturally did not miss their expressions and raised her eyebrows.

The dishes in the living room had been cleared away by Aunt Lin and the others, and they asked Mrs. Fang to heat them up and add a few more dishes.

After they entered the house, Aunt Lin asked if they wanted to serve the food. Xu Ruolan nodded and said to them, "Let's eat first. We can talk while we eat or after we finish eating. It's not pleasant to be hungry in winter!"

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, young lady!" Xu Hean said lovingly.

"Auntie, do you have braised meat? I haven't eaten it for a long time!" Chang Yifei looked so greedy that Liu Xu rolled her eyes.

"No!" Even if there was, he wouldn't be given any to eat.

"Auntie..." Chang Yifei ignored her and spoke coquettishly to Xu Ruolan in a dragging voice.

"Hiss" Liu Xu felt a toothache after hearing it.

"Okay, okay! But there won't be any for lunch. I'll ask Granny Fang to braise some later and you can take some with you when you leave!" Xu Ruolan said with a smile.

"Aunt is still the best!" Chang Yifei said, and glanced at Liu Xu proudly.

Liu Xu rolled her eyes at him and muttered, "Flatterer!"

"Okay, weren't you two getting along well before? Why are you bickering all the time today?" Xu Ruolan said with a smile. However, she knew that the two were just joking, so she ignored them.

Before the food was served, Yue Niang took the two little ones out.

"Uncle An, brother, these are my two little sons. The older one is called Xu Ge'er, and the younger one is called Hao Ge'er." As he said this, he picked up the two little ones and placed them in the hands of Xu and An, father and son.

But the two little ones were already taking a nap, so the father and son held them carefully. Looking at the rosy and round babies in his arms, Xu Hean's eyes became red again, and he kept saying "good" in a low voice.

The one in Xu Huairen's arms was Brother Hao. He looked at him carefully and said, "The young master doesn't look like the young lady. The young lady looks exactly like the young lady when she was a child."

Liu Xu almost couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xu Ruolan smiled awkwardly and said helplessly: "Both boys look like their father!"

Xu Hean wanted to ask about his son-in-law, but he saw the maid had already brought in the dishes, so he had to swallow it back and planned to talk about it after dinner.

Soon the dishes were served. Yue Niang and Aunt Lin took the child back into the house, and then they began to eat.

"Aren't these the soy fat and bean sprouts from Yongkang Prefecture?" Xu Hean was amazed when he saw the tofu and bean sprouts on the table.

Liu Xu's heart skipped a beat and she glanced at her mother.

Xu Ruolan used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for Xu and An as if nothing had happened, and then slowly said, "Yes, but I renamed them tofu and bean sprouts. Uncle An, try them. Is the taste different from what we eat in Yongkang Prefecture?"

"Oh, good!" Xu Hean didn't think much about it. He smiled happily when he saw the food from his hometown. After eating, he sighed, "Well, it's more delicious than what was made in the mansion. The cook in the young lady's family is quite skilled."

Liu Xu and Xu Ruolan were afraid that he might let something slip, and Chang Yifei was right beside them, so they quickly invited the two to eat other dishes, especially mushrooms. Anyway, everyone knew that these things were made by Liu Xu and the others, so they were not afraid of being asked.

Chang Yifei didn't think much about it. He just thought that Xu Ruolan hadn't seen her family for a long time, so she was more enthusiastic. Besides, compared to tofu and bean sprouts, mushrooms were considered a specialty here.

After dinner, Xu Ruolan wanted to chat with Xu Hean and the others, while Liu Xu took Chang Yifei to her study.

When they arrived at the study, Chang Yifei took the initiative to tell her why he didn't come yesterday. Knowing that he missed the appointment because of Xu Hean and his group, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. However, she would not apologize. At most, she would ask him to bring more braised meat in the evening.

"By the way, Third Brother Chang, how's Liuli doing? I asked them to speed up the construction, can they catch up?" Liu Xu asked worriedly.

"Don't worry, it will be delivered to you the day after tomorrow at the latest. It won't delay you!" Chang Yifei said, "But girl Xu, why do you want to build so many greenhouses? Yongshun Prefecture is not like the capital and the northern border. There is no shortage of vegetables in winter, right? You won't use them to grow flowers, right?" Many families in the capital, including those in the county, have greenhouses, but most of them are used to grow flowers.

"How is that possible!" Liu Xu rolled her eyes. "It's not like I have so much money that I wouldn't use it to grow flowers! Let me tell you, I asked Brother Huai Jin to help me find the most important base ingredient for making spicy soup pot!" Liu Xu chuckled.

"Really? Then when can we serve this flavor?" Chang Yifei's eyes lit up.

"Don't panic! We don't know how much Brother Huai Jin will be able to have people bring. When the time comes, pick out the seeds and see how many there are. If there are few, just wait until I grow them in the greenhouse!" Liu Xu comforted him. Seeing that he seemed a little disappointed, he pretended to look around and whispered as if he was afraid of being known: "Besides, when I came back from the county last time, I found some good things from the foreigners. I'll make one for you to try in the evening. I tell you, when I cultivate all these seeds, I will share some with you. By then, they will be the only ones in Dongsheng." Liu Xu said, with a look on her face that looked very nice of me.

Chang Yifei didn't doubt the good stuff she was talking about, but his eyes showed a bit of envy and jealousy. They had only not seen each other for a few days, and this girl got something good again. Her luck was unmatched...

The two of them sorted out the opening of Zhenxiu Pavilion and chose the second day of the twelfth lunar month, which was only two days left.

The decoration of the store has begun to be completed, and all the tables, chairs and benches have been prepared as Liu Xu said.

"Give them another test before opening to see if there is anything missing." Liu Xu reminded Chang Yifei.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the second day of the Chinese New Year.

The two didn't talk for long. When He Lei came to call Qingfeng to go hunting together, Chang Yifei wanted to go too. Liu Xu ignored them and went to the main room.
