Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

The next morning, Liu Xu went to Yuyang Town with He Feng, carrying the written letter.

Liu Xiumei and her husband took Liu Ming and Liu Quan back to Tuqiao Village.

Yesterday, their family moved to the old house. Liu Fukang and Liu Hongying, one stayed to take care of his brother, while the other went to work in the workshop.

The previous weed house was demolished, and the weed bed was moved to the side room. With the fire wall, a lot of mushrooms could be produced every day. Fu'an originally brought all the mushrooms back to the compound except for the old couple's food. After Liu Xiumei's family moved in, he gave them to them.

So, when they went back today, the couple also brought some mushrooms, but not many.

On the day of the Little New Year, Liu Xiumei bought a lot of things in the town, preparing to send some New Year gifts to Liu Er's family. The village chief, clan leader and elders also prepared some things.

The two carriages left the village one after the other.

But after arriving at Zuiyunxuan, Manager Chang told her that Chang Yifei was in Yuyang Town at the moment, and that the head of the Chang family and his wife were also there.

Liu Xu suddenly remembered what Chang Yifei had said in the county government office.

Let He Feng go back quickly.

When the family saw Liu Xu coming back so soon, they thought something had changed and were all shocked.

After Liu Xu finished speaking, I realized it was a false alarm.

Since the Chang family is coming, they just have to wait and there is no need to rush.

Sure enough, around noon, Chang Yifei and his family arrived.

Xu Ruolan took Liu Xu out to greet them.

The Chang family had three carriages. When Liu Xu and her mother came out, Chang Yifei was helping his mother get off the carriage.

Mrs. Chang wore a royal blue brocade dress with delicate patterns embroidered on the hem. She had a dignified and beautiful face, and her eyes were gentle and wise. Time had left a slight mark on her face, but it added a mature charm. Her black hair was tied into an elegant bun, with an exquisite hairpin inserted, shining brightly.

The head of the Chang family, who got off the car right after him, was wearing a dark purple robe, a jade belt around his waist, and had an upright figure. His eyebrows and eyes were similar to Chang Yifei's, but they exuded majesty and calmness.

Xu Ruolan brought Liu Xu forward, and Liu Xu lowered her head slightly, looking very well behaved. Chang Yifei saw this and raised his eyebrows.

But today, with his parents around, he seems a little more stable.

The two sides exchanged greetings, and Madam Chang said to Xu Ruolan in a friendly manner: "I said I would come over earlier, but something happened at home that delayed me. Please don't blame me, Sister Xu!"

"Madam, you are too polite. It's the end of the year and everything is busy. It's our honor that you can take the time to come here." Xu Ruolan also smiled gently.

Madam Chang looked at Liu Xu beside her, her eyes full of love. She smiled and took Liu Xu's hand, saying softly, "I've heard Yifei mention you a long time ago. After seeing you today, I realize that you are indeed a lovely little girl."

Liu Xu blushed slightly and responded softly, "Madam, you are too kind."

"Master Chang, Madam Chang, Yifei, you must be tired from the journey and it's cold outside. Let's go inside and talk!" Xu Ruolan said with a smile.

Then the group walked in. Chang Yifei walked in last, followed by a servant of the Chang family holding a gift box.

After entering the house, Xu's father, Xu's mother and Xu Mingzhe were all waiting at the door of the main hall. The two sides naturally exchanged some politeness when they met.

Chang Hongxuan asked his servants to present the New Year gift, and Xu Ruolan accepted it after some politeness.

Everyone went into the house and sat down. After Aunt Lin and the others served tea and left, they started to exchange pleasantries.

"Speaking of which, it's time for us to pay a visit. The housekeeper wrote earlier saying that they were able to find my younger sister thanks to the third young master Chang. Otherwise, we would have missed her again. The Xu family will always remember the Chang family's great kindness." Xu Mingzhe stood up and saluted.

Chang Hongxuan hurried forward to stop him and helped him up with both hands. "Young Master, what are you talking about? Yifei already recognized Xu'er as his sister, and the Chang family also has cooperation with the Liu family. This is just a piece of cake. I didn't know about it before, otherwise Hongxuan would have sent a letter to the Xu Mansion long ago."

"This is the fate of our two families," Mrs. Chang said.

"Earlier, Changfu wrote to me saying that someone wanted to cooperate with Zuiyunxuan in publishing a recipe. My master had other things to do, so he asked San'er to come over to discuss the matter. He never thought it would be a little girl. As a result, they found that they had similar personalities and became siblings."

"That day, Butler Xu and his men were looking for someone with the portrait, and they happened to be seen by his subordinates, who quickly notified him, which led to the subsequent events."

"Yeah, I had an appointment to discuss something with Auntie, but I broke the appointment when I got the news and returned to the capital. Sister Xuer was even mad at me!"

As Chang Yifei spoke, he gave Liu Xu a resentful look, which made Liu Xu so angry that her teeth itched.

"It is fate indeed. If the two children hadn't known each other first, I don't know if I, an old man like me, would ever be able to see my daughter again!" Old Madam Xu sighed.

Xu Ruolan's eyes turned red when she heard this, "Mom! Don't talk nonsense, you will definitely live a long life!"

"Okay, okay, now that mother has found you, all her illnesses are gone. Even if I can't say you live a hundred years, at least you have to see my grandchildren grow up." The old lady comforted her hurriedly.

The others echoed what he said, and they chatted for a while.

Chang Hongxuan and his wife looked at each other and said solemnly, "My husband and I came here today because the New Year is approaching, and we are sending these New Year gifts to show our gratitude. In addition, we want to discuss the marriage between our two families with the Liu family's younger brother and sister-in-law."

Madam Chang nodded and agreed, "Yifei often mentions Xu'er in front of us. My husband and I really like her. What do you think, Sister Xu? Don't worry, we will love Xu'er as if she were our own daughter."

Xu Ruolan nodded slightly, smiling and saying, "It is Xu'er's blessing that Master Chang and Madam love me so much. And Yifei is a sincere and free-spirited child who values ​​friendship and loyalty. I like him from the bottom of my heart. Since this is our fate, I am naturally happy for our two families to become relatives."

The Changs were overjoyed to hear this. Chang Hongxuan bowed to the Xu father and mother at the top and said, "In that case, please ask Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu to be witnesses. After the New Year, my Chang family will hold a formal ceremony in the capital city, invite relatives and friends, announce the marriage of the two families, and let everyone witness this precious friendship together."

Seeing this, Old Master Xu showed a loving expression, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Master Chang is thoughtful. This is a blessing for both families. We two old bones will not refuse."

Madam Xu also looked pleased and said, "That's great."

Although the ceremony was not held until after the New Year, Liu Xu and Chang Yifei simply offered tea to their elders and changed their words.

Liu Xu got a hairpin and a jade pendant from Chang's parents. Xu Ruolan directly gave Chang Yifei a big red envelope, saying that she would give it back together with the gifts from Liu Donglai after the New Year.

Now that we have finished our work, it's time for lunch.

Everyone sat around the table. There was no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. They ate and chatted, and it was very lively.

Especially Chang Yifei and Liu Xu, since they got to know each other, they would bicker whenever they met. They were pretending before, but their true colors were revealed after they sat at the table.

"Little sister, you are so mean. Why don't you give me some of this spicy braised meat?" Chang Yifei's manners were elegant, but the speed at which he picked up the dishes was a little off.

"Oh, I forgot!" Liu Xu said perfunctorily. Seeing his accusing look, she added, "Besides, there aren't many peppers left. We can't stew too much. After the New Year, when the peppers are ripe, you can eat as much as you want!"

"What about this blood sausage?" Chang Yifei gritted his teeth.

"Hey, I just went to ask Uncle Fu this morning where you were, planning to have someone send you there personally, but Uncle Fu told me that you were in Yuyang Town, so I came back to prepare. You and your godfather and godmother came here first. If you don't believe me, go back and ask Uncle Fu if I was there?"

The people present who knew the situation watched her talk nonsense in all seriousness, but did not expose her.

Chang Yifei was suspicious: "Really?"

"More real than pearls!"

"Then you can prepare more for me later!" Then he leaned over and whispered, "I'll take it to our restaurant to try, maybe I can make some money again!"

"Not giving it to Zuiyunxuan?" Liu Xu raised his eyebrows.

"Well, I'll give you more when you have more!" Young Master Chang San looked at his parents guiltily, and happened to bump into Father Chang. He was so scared that he quickly sat down seriously.

"We agreed that you would decorate more for me later. I think my mother likes it very much!" Chang Yifei said deliberately.

"Yeah, my godmother likes me to put in more. I also made some dried meat. When my godmother is bored, she can chew on it. It's so delicious!"

Seeing Chang Yifei's wide eyes, he continued, "There are still some sausages and bacon, godfather and godmother, you can take them back and dry them. When they are a little dry, steam them and eat them. They will taste great."

The Chang couple were overjoyed and praised Liu Xu again. Liu Xu replied with a smile.

Only Young Master Chang San was left standing there gnashing his teeth.
