Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Twenty-six, a big meat meal.

Butcher Gao drove his pigs to Liujia Village early in the morning.

Because Liu Xu had just started learning the Dharma today, she followed her master and senior sisters into the mountains early in the morning, so she was unable to watch the fun.

In a small wooden house in the mountains, the master and his two disciples sat cross-legged. The quiet atmosphere seemed to slow down time.

Feeling a warm current rising from her dantian and gradually spreading out, Liu Xu felt both nervous and excited.

After a long time, he opened his eyes and looked at Ye Miaoyin with joy, "Master, Senior Sister, I succeeded!"

Ye Miaoyin looked at Liu Xu with a look of satisfaction in her eyes: "Xu'er, today you have made great progress in your internal skills. But remember not to be proud and complacent, and not to slack off. Only by perseverance can you achieve success."

Liu Xu nodded slightly, with a serious look on her face: "Xu'er will remember the master's teachings and will not let the master down."

Han Duoduo also smiled and said: "Little sister, now that you have mastered the skills, we can practice together in the future. When you have learned the Qinggong, I will take you to fly!"

"Okay, okay! But, Master, do we have to come to the mountains to practice? The cross-courtyard is almost built. Can't we close the door and meditate inside?" Liu Xu pouted.

She said it was time-consuming and laborious to run such a long distance every day.

Ye Miaoyin thought about it and nodded in agreement: "It's not impossible. If you can guarantee that no one will disturb you, you can just practice at home in the early stage."

Then he looked at his daughter again: "Duoduo, stay at home with your junior sister. After Xuer learns Qinggong, you should come to this hut."

"Thank you, Master!" "Daughter understands!" they said in unison.

Looking at the sky, it was already approaching evening. Ye Miaoyin took the two of them and flew back.

Liu Xu was in her master's arms, watching Han Duoduo walking lightly and quickly through the woods, feeling extremely envious.

Ye Miaoyin looked down and encouraged, "Work hard, maybe one day you will surpass your senior sister."

Liu Xu nodded heavily, thinking that when she had mastered her kung fu, she would join her senior sister, and maybe they could become a pair of chivalrous female warriors. Her senior sister would definitely be happy.

However, she never expected that before she could master it... her senior sister left early...

But this is all for later.

When Liu Xu and his friends were rushing home, another convoy came into the entrance of Liujia Village.

Walking in the front carriage, Yuan Hui looked at the farmyard outside the window and frowned slightly: "Husband, didn't you say that my sister's family has a small fortune? Why do you still live in this country place?"

"This... I'm not sure either. Maybe you've gotten used to it. If you're not used to it, you can move to the county town tomorrow. I asked Uncle An to buy a house in Qinghe County."

Xu Mingli knew that his wife had been a lady from a rich family since she was young, and she had never seen such a country family before, so it was normal that she found it difficult to accept for a while. Even he had only seen some of them when he occasionally followed his father to the family farm when he was young.

"Ah, it's all because of my useless brother that Yueyue ended up stranded in a place like this and stayed there for so many years. I don't know how much she's suffered."

The three siblings of the Xu family have had a very close relationship since childhood, so whether it is Xu Mingzhe or Xu Mingli, they both feel sorry for Xu Ruolan from the bottom of their hearts.

Seeing her husband's red eyes, Yuan Hui felt a little uncomfortable, but she still comforted him: "Didn't Uncle An write to you saying that my younger sister was rescued by someone? Since your family has a small fortune, I believe she must be living a good life."

Xu Mingli's expression then eased a little and he nodded gently.

Their two sons next to them were looking out the window with curiosity, occasionally discussing in a low voice.

In a carriage at the back, Li Yueyao's family were also expressing their feelings.

"Mom, has my aunt lived here all these years?" Xu Zeyu sighed as he looked at the small mud courtyards outside.

"That should be it! Your aunt has been spoiled since she was young. I don't know how much she has suffered while stranded here!"

When Li Yueyao thought of her sister-in-law working from sunrise to sunset like the peasant woman she had met before, she felt a dull pain in her heart and her eyes turned red.

Then he told the children, "Yu'er, Lin'er, and Nan'nan, when you get here, no matter what your aunt's house is like, you are not allowed to despise it. Lin'er and Nan'nan are not allowed to bully your cousins, understand?"

Xu Zeyu nodded, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of my brothers and sisters!"

The two little ones nodded obediently, "Mom, we won't bully our cousins!"

"Good boy, you are all good kids!"

The carriage swayed slowly and soon arrived at the gate of the Liu family compound.

Xu Mingxiang wanted to give his sister a surprise, so he didn't even send a message to Xu Mingzhe before he set out.

At that time, after Xu Ruolan distributed wages and New Year gifts to the workers, she went to the East Courtyard to visit her parents and two children.

After spending some time with the elders and the children, he went to the kitchen.

Although she rarely goes into the kitchen now that Granny Fang and a few others are around, she still wants to cook something herself when the New Year comes.

Xuer liked the radish balls she made the most in previous years, so she planned to fry more.

Finally someone helped and soon it became a big basin.

At the gate of the Liu family compound, Xu Mingli and his party had already got off the carriage.

As everyone looked at the mansion in front of them, Xu Mingli felt like a rich man living in seclusion.

Although I don’t know what’s inside, this yard... looks bigger than their home in Beijing.

Yuan Hui's previous discomfort also disappeared, and she stood beside Xu Mingli, holding her two children.

Li Yueyao's eyes were filled with relief. Fortunately, her sister-in-law should be living a good life.

The doorman had already notified the butler when he saw the carriage approaching.

Uncle He came out and saw a group of people. He was a little confused. After seeing Xu Mingli's appearance, he quickly stepped forward to ask,

"May I ask if you are my second uncle?"

"I'm Xu Mingli, who are you?" Xu Mingli asked politely.

"I'm He Yi, meeting my second uncle. I'm the housekeeper of the Liu family." Uncle He saluted and replied, then turned around and asked someone to notify Xu Ruolan.

Then he said to everyone, "Second uncle, two aunts, cousins, it's cold outside and you're tired from the journey, please come in!" Uncle He made way and bowed to invite them in.

Yuan Hui was impressed by his politeness, but the others didn't think much of it.

Xu Mingli told Xu Zheng and two others to move the luggage in the back, and he led his wife, children, and sister-in-law's family inside.

Not long after he entered the courtyard, he saw a young woman jogging towards him.

Xu Mingli looked at the woman, his eyes slightly warmed, and he stopped walking, and the others also stopped. Li Yueyao's eyes also rippled.

Xu Ruolan stopped a few steps away, opened her mouth, and was speechless for a long time. She really didn't expect that her second brother would come in person, as he had official business to attend to.

"What? You don't recognize your second brother?" Xu Mingli said with a smile, but his voice was a little hoarse.

"Second brother!" Xu Ruolan took a few steps forward, but stopped again when she thought that she was no longer young.

Xu Mingli walked forward, stretched out his hands and hugged his sister, "Silly girl, even if you are seventy or eighty years old, you are still my little sister!"

Compared to his older brother Xu Mingzhe, Xu Mingli is only two years older than Xu Ruolan. Even though he loved reading more in the past, he spent the most time with his younger sister.

Not to mention that when Xu Ruolan got into trouble as a child, Xu Mingli often helped her come up with ideas and cover up for her.

"Second brother... wuwu..." Xu Ruolan burst into tears.

"Okay, you're already grown up. If your parents and elder brother see you, they'll think I bullied you!" Xu Mingli patted her head gently and teased.

Xu Ruolan quickly withdrew from Xu Mingli's arms, wiped her tears, and felt a little embarrassed.

Especially when she saw Xu Mingli's eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and several children behind him, her face turned red with embarrassment.

Then he stepped forward and bowed to Li Yueyao and the others: "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! I'm sorry to have embarrassed you!"

Because Yuan Hui was unfamiliar with the situation and felt a little uncomfortable with her husband hugging her sister-in-law before, she just smiled politely in return.

"We are all family, there is nothing to laugh at! Yueyue, it's finally...that's great!" Li Yueyao said with red eyes.

"Yeah, that's great!" Xu Ruolan nodded and smiled gently.

"Aunt, long time no see! Do you still recognize me?" Xu Zeyu asked with a smile.

"You are Yu'er, right? The chubby boy from the past has grown into a handsome young man now!" Xu Ruolan said with emotion, and wanted to say something else.

"Yueyue, don't you think we should go in first?" Xu Mingli asked with a smile.

Xu Ruolan stroked her forehead and said, "Ah, that's right! Look at me! Sister-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, children, let's go inside first!"

The group continued to walk inside and met Xu's father, Xu's mother and Xu Mingzhe who had heard the news.
