Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The next day, the sky was a little cloudy.

Not long after the people from Cui Jin Lou left, a small convoy entered Liujia Village.

Since the beginning of winter, most villagers have been staying at home. Unless the sun comes out, there is no one under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village.

When Xu Yiru and his party arrived, what they saw was the somewhat quiet and desolate Liujia Village.

The houses are basically made of mud walls, some have green tiles, and some have thatched roofs, which is enough to prove how poor this village is.

[Liujia Village villagers: That’s because we plan to build a new house after the New Year! ]

Thinking that her daughter was stranded in such a place, Mrs. Xu felt a pang of sadness in her heart and tears fell.

Xu Yiru and Xu Mingzhe's eyes also reddened. His daughter (younger sister) had been spoiled since she was young. Although she could not be called a daughter of a royal family, she was also a real rich lady.

But because of that accident, she married a farmer and became a peasant woman, facing the loess and back to the sky. Those people really deserve to die!

It was also their fault for not protecting her at that time. Everyone in the Xu family, both the master and the servants, was heartbroken.

The carriage soon arrived at the old house, a blue brick and tile house, which looked quite nice. I guess it should be the home of the daughter (sister) (young lady), right? Everyone in the Xu family thought so.

After all, Xu Hean wrote back saying that his daughter's family had a small property.

However, the person leading the way did not stop. This person was the person Xu Hean left in Xu Mansion in Qinghe County.

It was estimated that Xu Mingzhe and his group would arrive in the next few days, so there were people waiting at the dock every day, and only last night did they receive the Xu family.

"Dongzi, isn't this the young lady's home?" Xu Mingzhe asked through the car window.

"This is also the case, but it's the young lady's old house. The old man and the old lady of the Liu family live here. The young lady's house is still in front!" Xu Dong rode his horse closer to the carriage and replied.

Xu Mingzhe nodded and continued to look at the scene outside. It seemed to be getting more and more off-center?

Xu Mingzhe frowned a little, and Xu Yiru and his wife, as well as Nanny Chun and others in the carriage behind were also confused.

Some people in the village had already noticed the convoy, but they were not as curious as before. They knew it was from the Liu family compound, so they were not curious and went about their own business.

The carriage headed west and soon arrived at the gate of the Liu family compound.

The people in the carriage looked at the house in front of them, feeling both comforted and curious. Their daughter's (sister's) (young lady's) family must be very well off. This yard must be dozens of acres (including the new yard), which is bigger than their Xu family's!

The newly bought old couple of gatekeepers, Uncle Zhong and his wife Wang, saw a carriage approaching from afar and went to report to Uncle He.

When Uncle He came out, he saw Xu Dong at a glance, and then looked at the convoy and the accompanying guards behind him, and immediately realized that it was probably the old man of the Xu family who had arrived. He immediately asked Uncle Zhong to report to the lady and the young lady.

He immediately went up to them and asked, "Excuse me, is this the master and his wife?"

Xu Mingzhe lifted the carriage curtain and slowly stepped down. "My parents are in the carriage at the back. I'm Xu Mingzhe, who are you?"

"Hello, uncle. I am He Yi, the steward of the Liu family." Uncle He bowed immediately.

"It's Butler He. Please get up. Are my sisters home?"

"My dear father-in-law, I have already asked someone to report back. The lady should be out soon." Uncle He replied after standing up.

Xu Mingzhe nodded and then went to the carriage behind.

The second carriage held Xu Yiru and his wife, the third carriage held Nanny Chun and Dong'er and her daughter, and the last carriage carried the gift they had prepared for the meeting.

When Xu Mingzhe came over, the two elders had already come down, and Nanny Chun and Dong'er and her daughter were there with them.

Xu Mingzhe stepped forward to help his father, but the old man said angrily, "Your father is not old enough to need help!"

After saying that, he walked ahead. Xu Mingzhe wanted to rush to support his mother, but Nanny Chun and Dong'er supported the old lady on the left and right and walked around him.

Xu Mingzhe: …

In the Liu family courtyard, Liu Xu and her mother heard the servant's words and immediately walked out in a hurry. Xu Ruolan even jogged.

It happened that Xu Huairen heard the servant's words, and the father and son quickly followed.

When Liu Xu and her mother ran to the door, they saw Uncle He leading a group of people towards the courtyard gate.

"Dad, Mom, and big brother!" Xu Ruolan trotted over.

"Yueyue, my dear Yueyue!" The old lady shook off Nanny Chun and the other two and walked forward.

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, "Mom, Mom! Yueyue finally sees you again!"

"Damn it, Yueyue, good, really good!"

Xu Yiru and his son Xu Mingzhe stood at an arm's length from the mother and daughter, looking at them hugging and crying, their eyes moistened.

After a long time, the mother and daughter separated.

Looking at her father and elder brother in front of her, Xu Ruolan's throat tightened slightly, and she choked up and called out, "Dad, elder brother."

Both father and son nodded.

Xu Yiru: "Good, Dad's Yueyue has grown up, that's great!"

Xu Mingzhe wanted to reach out and touch his sister's head, but thinking that his sister was already married, he held back and smiled warmly: "Little sister!"

Seeing that the others had calmed down a lot, Liu Xu said, "Xu'er greets grandpa, grandma, and uncle!"

The few of them came back to their senses. Xu Ruolan quickly wiped away her tears, pulled her daughter over, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, this is my daughter, Liu Xu, nicknamed Baoer!"

"Hey, Bao'er, come quickly and let grandma see you!" Old Madam Xu pulled Liu Xu to her side with a look of surprise.

"grandmother."

"Yes, it does. It looks exactly like your mother when she was a child. Master, Zhe'er, do you think so?"

Old Master Xu reached out and picked up Liu Xu. "Indeed, she is the same as our Yueyue. No, she is prettier than our Yueyue! Baoer, I am your grandpa!"

"Hello, Grandpa!" Liu Xu called out with a smile, but was muttering in her heart: Grandpa, I'm seven years old, not three. You don't need to coax me like a three-year-old.

"Grandpa, please put Xu'er down. Xu'er is very calm!"

The old man's hair is all gray, and she weighs at least 40 kilograms now, so it's a little difficult for her to hold her.

"Yes, Dad, you are so old, let me hold the baby!" Xu Mingzhe said, and directly took the catkins from his father's hands.

Willow catkins: ...

"Baby, uncle is strong, uncle will hold you!"

Xu Yiru: "You stinky boy!"

Xu Ruolan looked at this scene with her eyebrows curved and smiling, and upon closer inspection, her expression was exactly the same as Liu Xu's, "Dad, Mom, Big Brother, let's go inside first!"

"Wait, look who else is here!" Old Madam Xu pulled her daughter over and walked around the father and son.

"Wet nurse!" The first person Xu Ruolan saw was Nanny Chun.

"Hey, nice to meet the young lady, young lady!" Nanny Chun bowed with red eyes.

"Nurse, please get up quickly!" Xu Ruolan stepped forward and helped the person up.

Then his eyes fell on the ugly woman standing beside him. He was puzzled at first, then his eyes turned red and he choked out, "Dong'er, is that you?"

"Miss, it's me. I'm back!" Dong'er knelt on her knees and bowed deeply.

“Get up quickly, get up quickly! Wuwu… Dong’er, you silly girl, why are you…why…”

Xu Ruolan burst into tears. When Dong'er stepped back and knelt, she saw that Dong'er was not only disfigured, but also had a lame leg.

"Miss, Dong'er is fine, don't cry!" Dong'er comforted with red eyes.

Wu Daya looked at her mother, then looked at the people in front of her, and timidly pulled at the corner of her mother's clothes.

Dong'er sensed something, looked down at her daughter, reached out and pulled her over, and said softly, "Da Ya, come here, this is mother's master, come and greet the young lady."

"Hello, Miss!" Wu Daya saluted crookedly, which was what Dong'er had taught her last night.

"Ah, get up quickly!" Xu Ruolan said. Seeing that the little girl was only three or four years old, she reached out and picked her up.

"Miss, you can't..."

"Let's talk about it when we get back! Dad, Mom, big brother, nanny, let's go back first!" Xu Ruolan said with a smile. It was time to close the workshop and they would be surrounded by people soon.

Then he said to Uncle He, "Housekeeper, have someone send the old man's luggage to the East Courtyard. You can make arrangements for the others!"

"Yes, ma'am."

Xu Ruolan held the little girl in her arms, Nanny Chun and Dong'er stepped forward to support the old lady, Xu Hean and Xu Huairen had already followed their respective masters, and the group returned to the Liu family compound.
