Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Just as Li Yueyao guessed, after Xu Mingzhe reunited with his parents, he not only did not take his parents back, but the next day he directly sent back all the people sent by the second brother and took his own people to Yongshun Prefecture.

After Xu Yuan sent a letter home by carrier pigeon, the group turned and headed towards Yongqing Prefecture.

Madam Xu: "Old man, I think you are really old! If the eldest brother hadn't come with us, and we had to rely on you to show us the way, we would have been dawdling for who knows how long!"

Xu Yiru was so angry that he could only turn around and glare at his son.

Xu Mingzhe said that he was innocent. He had no idea that his father was so unreliable.

Here, the Xu family was busy on their way, and Liu Xu was also busy germinating and growing seedlings.

She made use of the empty spaces in several mushroom houses and placed pepper seeds after germination.

In the past few days, the greenhouse and workshop have been completed. Aunt Lin took people to clean up. Tomorrow everyone will go to the new workshop to start work.

Because there are many people in the village, under the contract system, everyone works fast and steadily. She went to check yesterday and found that more than half of the work had been done, so it should be finished today.

Liu Changshun's family had little land, so everything was built two days ago.

The straw thatch on the roof can be lifted up. If the weather is good and the sun is strong, you can remove it and cover it again at night.

Liu Xu and his men went to their backyard to cut potatoes into pieces at the bud edge, and asked Yan Niang to get some wood ash and wrap the potatoes together.

"Miss, why do you need to wrap it with wood ash?" Qiao Yun asked when she didn't understand.

"Oh, wrap this in potatoes so they won't be eaten by bugs."

"Then I'll wrap it more!"

……

The potatoes Jayne sold her were not many, only about 100 pounds, not enough for an acre of land, so she planned to keep them all for herself.

There is a lot of corn, so we soaked it all today. When it is almost ready, we will ask Wu Sangui to supervise the germination and we can plant it tomorrow.

"These seeds can only be planted by our family members. Everyone will have to work hard these days." It seems that there are not many people in her family who know how to farm. Alas, when you need it, you will regret not having enough. Later, I will ask Uncle He to buy a few more farmers who specialize in farming. Anyway, there are houses for them to live in there.

"Miss, why are you sighing? Don't worry, we promise that they will all be grown safely for you." He Lei promised, patting his chest.

As a result... the wood ash on his hands was all over his chest, and Aunt Lin was so angry that she raised her hand and slapped him on the back.

Then... the back was also covered.

"Hahahahahaha" there was a burst of joy in the backyard.

The laughter spread to the front yard, and Liu Laishun and his sons also smiled. Liu Laishun was better these days, at least he could eat by himself and walk slowly in the house.

Liu Fukang was looking after his father and brother in the house. He used to be the type of person who couldn't sit still, but now he stayed in the house obediently, thanks to He Lei.

This kid is also smart. Ever since he knew that He Feng, He Lei, and even half of the servants of the Liu family are all good at kung fu, he has been calling He Lei's brother "He Lei" every day and pestering He Lei to teach him kung fu.

He was his cousin, and He Lei didn't know how to refuse. After asking Xu Ruolan, he began to teach him some external moves. Now he was doing horse stance and practicing boxing in the room.

After the family came back from the county town, they went to the old house to accompany the old couple for a day. Liu Xiumei and her mother were used to doing things, and Liu Xu and her mother were also busy, so they didn't feel comfortable sitting idle.

I asked Xu Ruolan if they could go to the workshop to work, and Xu Ruolan had no objection.

But she knew that her elder sister-in-law and niece were good at needlework and could embroider some simple patterns. They were willing to work in the workshop, so how could she refuse? She arranged them to the embroidery room that day.

Therefore, except for the two patients, almost no one in the Liu family was idle.

"Miss, Miss, Madam asked you to go to the main room."

Everyone was making a fuss and wrapping themselves in ashes when Xi Bao ran in, shouting.

Everyone was stunned. Seeing that he did not look panicked, Liu Xu felt relieved and asked:

"Xi Bao, do you know what Madam wants me to do?"

"I know, I know. Grandpa An said that there was a letter from the capital, and Xibao heard it in the room. Mother has to take care of the young master, so Madam asked Xibao to come and call Miss."

Xi Bao said she was six years old, but in fact she was just over five years old, about the same age as Liu Chengcai, both of them were born in the spring. As a normal child of this age, he could not do anything else, but he was still reliable in learning to speak and passing on messages.

Liu Xu pinched Xibao's face mischievously, making Xibao smile foolishly, completely unaware that her fair and tender cheeks had turned black.

Others couldn't help laughing when they saw it.

"Aunt Lin, you guys continue wrapping them. Remember to wrap them all. Uncle Sangui, remember to turn the corn over every quarter of an hour to make sure it doesn't get mushy."

"Okay, Miss, go ahead. We won't forget it."

"I remember it, don't worry, miss!"

Liu Xu got up and washed her hands, deliberately not wiping Xiao Xibao's hands, and took Xiao Xibao back to the front yard.

In the main hall, Xu Ruolan and Xu Hean and his son were all there, as well as a young man whom Liu Xu had never seen before. He should be a servant of the Xu family who had previously stayed in the city.

Little Xibao happily greeted Xu Ruolan and others and was about to go back to the house to play with the masters, but was stopped by Xu Ruolan, who called her over, gave her daughter a scolding look, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Xibao's face.

Only then did Xibao realize that the young lady had smeared something dirty on her face. She blinked her eyes and pouted. Xu Ruolan smiled and comforted her, and the little girl went back to the house happily.

"My humble servant Xu Liang has met the young lady!"

"Uncle Xu Liang, please stand up!"

Xu Liang stood up and stood aside. Xu Ruolan then called her over and handed her the letter.

Liu Xu took the letter and read it carefully, then was stunned.

My goodness, her grandparents are quite fierce. They dared to come to Yongshun Prefecture with just two servants.

It's a long journey, and if something happens on the way, her mother will feel guilty for the rest of her life, and her two uncles will probably blame her mother for the rest of their lives.

Fortunately, her uncle caught up, it was really...

"I guess your grandpa and his family are in Yongqing Prefecture now. They will arrive in about ten days." Xu Ruolan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she was more moved.

Her parents are both in their sixties. In order to see her earlier, they left a letter and ran away. Fortunately, her eldest brother caught up with them, otherwise, if something happened on the way, it would be a disaster.

And the wet nurse...those three old people, she didn't know what to say.

"Don't worry, mother. With uncle here, we will all get home safely." Liu Xu held her mother's hand and looked up at her to comfort her.

"Miss, young lady, don't worry. The young master is doing things properly. The master and the mistress will be safe." Xu Hean also said with a smile.

"Yeah, Uncle An is right. My eldest brother has been a proper person since he was young."

"However, my parents are coming, so I have to prepare something for them." Xu Ruolan said as she lowered her head and began to ponder.

When Xu He'an and the other two saw this, they quietly bowed to Liu Xu and then left.

Liu Xu stayed beside her without saying anything. After a while, Xu Ruolan suddenly looked up and said:

"By the way, Xu'er, can you go talk to Foreman Zhu and ask him to send more workers to see if we can build the two courtyards before your grandfather and his family arrive? Otherwise, I'm afraid our house will not be able to accommodate them."

"I'm afraid ten days may not be enough." Although only drainage outlets were left for the two cross-courtyards before, Zhu Jiacheng said that they would be built quickly, but the main reason for the time-consuming drainage below was that it would take some time.

Liu Xu lowered her head and thought for a while, then asked tentatively: "Mom, tomorrow the workers will go to the workshop, and the back house will be vacant. I'm afraid that Grandpa An and his family will have to live there, and then my uncle and grandpa and grandma will be arranged to live in the west wing first."

"Or, let aunt and her family move to the old house? The main house of the old house has been repaired, and the wing and back houses don't have drainage, so it will be faster to build."

If she had known that there would be so many people in their family, she should have built it together. Alas, she miscalculated!

"Mom, think about it first. You go talk to Foreman Zhu first. It has to be built anyway." Thinking of the increasing number of people in the family, Xu Ruolan did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, I'm leaving now. You can think about it slowly."

After saying that, he left and went to the old house.

At this moment, Liu Xu didn't know that she would soon realize how wise her mother's decision was.
