Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Uncle He was accompanied back by Xu Hean and his son.

The two men bought some property and also bought a family of four to take care of the house.

When he was about to come back, he happened to meet Uncle He who was in the city to buy someone, and they went back together.

There were quite a few people buying this time, three families with fourteen people, two maids, a cook, and four strong young men. Although they didn't know how to fight, they were quick and capable. They could help watch the fire and harvest mushrooms in the backyard, and they could also keep one in the gatehouse.

Xu Ruolan and her daughter took some time to meet, gave the child a lecture, changed his name, and then handed him over to Aunt Lin and Uncle He for arrangements.

The three farmers were all arranged to move to the new yard, where they were given firewood, rice, oil and salt, and they cooked their own food.

Liu Ming was responsible for explaining to them the precautions of the greenhouse.

As for the greenhouse, Liu Xu handed it over directly to Wu Sangui. If he was too busy, he would ask the security guard they bought together to help.

Now that more people have joined, they can also get away.

As it got dark, the afterglow of the setting sun covered the whole village with a warm orange-red veil. The villagers who had been busy all day returned home one after another, and the village gradually became quiet, with only the occasional barking of dogs.

Smoke rose from the chimneys of every household. In the yard, an old man sat on a small stool, looking at the children playing with a loving face. The children's laughter was as clear as silver bells, and the yard was full of liveliness and warmth.

Suddenly, a burst of noise coming from far away broke the peace.

All that could be heard was the sound of horse hooves and wheel wheels coming from the village entrance.

In the twilight, the young man in the lead was full of vigor and the black horse he was riding was tall and mighty.

The young man was wearing tight clothes, his hair fluttering slightly in the wind, and he looked at the yard at the end with bright eyes and a hint of warmth.

Behind him followed three young men who were also riding horses, each with an upright posture.

One of them was Xuan Yi, and the other two had serious expressions, with nervousness and anticipation in their eyes, and even a little trance.

Behind them were several horse-drawn carriages, with a horseman on each side. These people looked at the Liujia Village right in front of them with excitement in their eyes.

A boy heard the noise and sneaked to the gate of the courtyard. Seeing the leading boy, he shouted excitedly: "The young marquis is here, the young marquis is here to pull mushrooms!"

The sound traveled far enough that the whole village heard it. The adults came out to see who had suddenly shouted.

"Look, that's Donglai! It's Donglai and Mancang! Donglai and Mancang are back!"

As the convoy entered the village, the villagers seemed to have turned on a switch:

“That’s the big bull!”

"Dad, it's my dad who's back, hahahaha!"

"Grandpa, come and see, my second uncle is back!"

"Mom, mom, my dad is back on a big horse!"

"Grandma, look, my brother is driving the carriage!"

……

The whole Liujia Village was in an uproar. Whether it was people sitting in the yard to rest or people cooking in the kitchen, they all rushed out of the yard in an instant.

Laughter, sobbing, and the sounds of children running around telling each other were everywhere.

But the convoy did not stop, and went straight to the foot of the mountain west of the village! Everyone followed and heard someone shouting from behind:

"Oh my food!"

"Hey, whose rice is burnt?"

There was another burst of chaos.

When Liu Xu's family came out, the convoy was less than 50 meters away from the Liu family's door.

The little girl, with two buns on her hair, looked at the boy in front with joy on her face and ran over to him.

Liu Donglai smiled so hard that his back teeth were exposed. He thought his daughter was so considerate that she could see him clearly from such a distance.

however…

"Brother Huaijin, Brother Huaijin!"

Liu Mancang wiped his face and vaguely heard the heart-breaking voice of his second brother beside him. He glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw his second brother staring at the back of the young general, his face as black as charcoal, wanting to laugh but not daring to, his shoulders shaking.

Mu Lingxuan was stunned for a moment, feeling the chill coming from behind. His eyes turned, and he rode forward, picked up the little girl and sat her in front of him and continued walking forward.

The sound of teeth grinding was faintly heard in my ears, and a smile flashed in my eyes.

Liu Xu was lifted onto the horse's back and was stunned for a moment, but within five seconds, she started chattering again.

"Brother Huaijin, I received all the chili peppers you asked the master to bring me. Auntie found a lot of them. I took out the seeds and they have sprouted now. I also made spicy sauce with the remaining chili skins. It's delicious..."

The little girl kept talking, but they were already very close, so Mu Lingxuan didn't remind her. When he picked her up, she was still talking.

As she was talking, she noticed that the surroundings had become a little quiet. She looked towards the door and saw her mother looking at her with tears in her eyes.

No, to be precise, she looked behind her. Liu Xu blinked and turned her head away.

Wow, isn’t this her cheap dad?

Liu Donglai noticed that his daughter was looking at him, so he turned his affectionate gaze from his wife to his daughter's face. He squatted down and opened his arms, waiting for his daughter to run over, and then:

"Dad, why are you back? Is the war over?"

"Click" Liu Donglai heard the sound of a broken heart.

“Puchi” “Puhahahaha”

"Hahahaha, Xu girl, your dad is almost mad at you!"

There was a burst of laughter at the gate of the Liu family's courtyard. Xu Ruolan and the women and children in the village, who were originally crying with joy, could no longer cry.

Mu Lingxuan couldn't help but smile.

Liu Xu blinked her eyes, a little confused, then saw her father's open arms, and finally reacted: Is it too late for me to run over now?

Well, it’s not too late, never mind.

"Dad, you're finally back. Xuer missed you so much!"

Looking at the little girl who fell into his arms, Liu Donglai's mouth twitched, and soon his back teeth were exposed again.

"Hahahaha"

"Oh my, I can't take it anymore, Xu girl is too funny!"

Liu Xu buried his head in his father's arms and acted like an ostrich. As long as you can't see me, I won't be embarrassed!

In the end, it was Mu Lingxuan who helped her out.

"Everyone listen up!" The noise quieted down.

"Send the carriage to the Liu family's courtyard, and the riders should take good care of their horses! Go home and reunite with your families, and gather at the Liu family's courtyard at noon tomorrow!"

"Yes, thank you, Major General!" More than twenty people answered in unison.

Then the team started moving, and Mu Lingxuan, Xuan Yi and Liu Donglai also followed the Liu family back to the yard.

The old couple Liu Dashan watched from afar and did not come forward. They did not know how to face their youngest son.

He didn't turn around until he could no longer see anyone.

All the young and old men from Liujia Village who went to the army at the beginning of the year, including twenty-three people, returned safely. This was unprecedented in the history of conscription.

Every household brought out good wine and delicious food, and those families that had later separated also gathered together.

Tonight in Liujia Village, every family is filled with laughter and joy, just like during the Chinese New Year, and everyone is happy.
