Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

After the excitement of midnight, everyone gradually fell asleep.

At some point, snowflakes began to float in the sky, fluttering like dancing elves, landing lightly in every corner of Qinghe County.

The snow was heavy, but it stopped at sunrise.

In the morning light, the entire Canglong Mountains were covered with snow. From afar, it looked like a winding white dragon lying on the earth.

Liujia Village at the foot of the mountain appears particularly quiet and peaceful in this beautiful snow scene.

Accustomed to getting up early, as she didn't have to practice martial arts during the New Year, Liu Xu rolled over on the bed with the quilt in her arms. Qiao Yu heard the sound and came in to serve her, telling her that it snowed last night.

Liu Xu jumped up with a start, opened the curtains, and was shocked by the snow-covered scene in front of him.

Although it is not the first time I have seen it, I still can't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.

There are elderly people and children at home, and the servants are already clearing the snow in the yard.

Soon, Liu Xu packed up. The set she was wearing today was bought for her by Xu Mingzhe when he came. The fabric of Yuehuajin was still bright red. The style was the new cross-collar skirt in the capital. Unlike the narrow sleeves made by Xu Ruolan, the sleeves of this skirt were slightly wider, adding a bit of agility and liveliness.

Qiaoyu combed her hair into a double spiral bun, which looked like two cute snails lying on her head. The pearl hair accessories her uncle bought for her embellished it, and the round pearls exuded a soft luster, making her delicate face even cuter, like a fairy from a painting, innocent and full of spirit.

Liu Xu turned around proudly and said, "Qiao Yu, do you look good?"

"Miss, you look good in anything you wear!" Qiaoyu's eyes were clear and sincere.

Both her mistress and her master are good-looking, and the young lady can be said to have inherited good genes. She is better than her father and mother.

"Hehe, I think I'm good-looking too." This appearance is several times better than her previous life.

"How can you praise yourself like that?" Xu Ruolan pushed the door open and saw her daughter being conceited. She couldn't help but say something scolding.

Also coming in with her were Ye Miaoyin and her daughter, who were dressed in new clothes. It was obvious that Xu Ruolan had invited them first.

"My mother is so beautiful, so my daughter must be beautiful too! Right, Master?" Liu Xu stepped forward and hugged her mother's arm, saying coquettishly.

Xu Ruolan and Liu Xu were wearing the same outfit today, and anyone could tell they were mother and daughter when they went out. Liu Xu felt that her uncle understood her very well.

The two Dun'er also woke up, wearing red clothes, with fair and round faces, looking like New Year dolls.

When she saw her sister, she greeted her with a babbling voice, and saliva was flowing down her chin. Yue Niang and Zi Mo quickly helped her wipe it off.

"Let's go once you're done packing. Let's go and wish your grandparents and uncle a happy new year first."

"Okay! Hahahaha, big red envelope, here I come!" Liu Xu put on the cloak handed to him by Qiaoyu, with a funny face.

Xu Ruolan couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't blame him. It was New Year's Day and she was happy, which was good.

Xu Ruolan and Ye Miaoyin walked in front, followed by the Liu Xu sisters, and Yue Niang and Zi Mo were at the end holding their children.

When they arrived at the east courtyard, the Xu family had already gotten up and gathered in the main hall.

Mr. and Mrs. Xu were wearing clothes made by their daughter, and both of them had bright smiles on their faces.

When everyone was present, they began to greet each other.

The old couple sat at the top with a cushion in front of them.

The first one was Xu Mingzhe, and then the elder and the younger. The old couple looked at their children and grandchildren who kowtowed to them with a loving look, and their smiles were even bigger than in previous years.

The only regret is that I didn’t make it in time for my son-in-law to come back.

Soon it was catkins. "Cuckoo wishes grandpa and grandma a happy new year, good health, worry-free years, and a happy family life."

"Okay, good boy. Grandma also wishes you a worry-free new year and all the best." The old lady said as she gave the red envelope.

Mr. Xu said directly and generously: "Take it and spend it as much as you want. When you're done, grandpa will give you more!"

"Okay, thank you grandpa and grandma, don't worry, grandpa, Xu'er can do anything, but she is the best at spending money!"

The conversation between the grandfather and grandson made everyone laugh.

So when it was Xu Zelin's turn, he asked, "Grandpa, can I spend as much as my cousin can?"

The old man who asked the question was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "If you were a girl, you could do it!"

Xu Zelin: "Then I'll just spend this much!"

“Hahahahaha!” The adults laughed so hard that tears came out.

The only one who received the same treatment as Liu Xu was the little girl Xu Zhenzhen.

Afterwards, Ye Miaoyin also performed the junior’s etiquette, and the old man and his wife also handed over red envelopes, which surprised her and made her feel a little sad.

How many years have passed...Since that night, only Duoduo is left by her side...

Old Madam Xu had heard her daughter mention the woman in front of her. Seeing her stunned, she exchanged glances with Old Master Xu, who nodded.

"Child, let bygones be bygones! You and Yueyue have similar personalities, and you are Baoer's master. I and this old man would like to ask you, are you willing to be our goddaughter?"

Madam Xu's words not only startled Ye Miaoyin, but also startled everyone else present.

The room fell silent instantly. After a moment, Liu Xu broke the silence: "Master, please agree, please agree? Then you will not only be my master but also my aunt!"

Ye Miaoyin finally came back to her senses. She bent her knees, knelt slowly, and said earnestly: "I am very grateful to you two elders for not looking down on me because of my background in the underworld. I swear here that I am willing to take you two elders as my adoptive parents and will serve you with all my heart in the future."

Seeing this, Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu were filled with relief and joy. Mr. Xu raised his hand slightly, and said in a gentle but powerful voice: "Hurry up, child. From today on, you are our eldest daughter, and we will love you like our own daughter."

Madam Xu also nodded quickly, tears flashing in her eyes: "Good child, the Xu family will also be your home in the future, we will protect you."

"Duoduo, come here, kowtow to your grandparents!" Ye Miaoyin pulled her daughter over.

"Duoduo pays her respects to grandpa and grandma, wishing them longevity, peace and happiness!" Han Duoduo said crisply after bowing her head.

"Okay, be good. Take it. Spend it as much as you want, just like your two sisters. When you're done, ask Grandpa for more!"

"Thank you, Grandpa. Thank you, Grandma!" Han Duoduo was very happy, both for her mother and for herself.

From then on, her mother was no longer her only relative.

Afterwards, Old Madam Xu asked about Ye Miaoyin and Han Duoduo's birthdays. Ye Miaoyin was a month older than Xu Mingli, and Han Duoduo was a month older than Xu Zeyu.

Since then, Xu Mingzhe has a younger sister, Xu Mingli and his siblings have an older sister, and Xu Zeyu and others have an older aunt and a cousin.

After paying respects to grandparents, there were still six elders to pay respects to, no, seven, because Xu Ruolan also prepared Liu Donglai's portion.

A room full of children were beaming with joy as they held the red envelopes.

The two Dun'er also received eight big red envelopes each, but they just felt them with their little hands and then their mother took them away.

After receiving the New Year's money, it was time to have breakfast. Aunt Lin had it delivered directly to the East Courtyard.

It is a custom in Yongshun Prefecture to eat Yuanxiao on the first day of the Lunar New Year. People will also wrap copper coins and red dates in a few of them. Those who eat them will wish for prosperity, a sweet life and good luck in the new year.

Granny Fang and the others were very good at handling things. Almost everyone had a red date in their bowl, and Wei Er's two copper coins were eaten by Liu Xu and Xu Mingzhe. The uncle and nephew laughed so hard that only a slit remained in their eyes.
