Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

In March, the breeze is blowing gently. The afternoon sun shines on the quaint Liujia Village, warm and peaceful.

Liu Xu and Qiao Yun walked slowly on the way home.

The newly built stone road under my feet is much wider than the previous dirt road, winding all the way to the Liu family compound. Tender green weeds sprouted from the gaps, adding a touch of vitality to the road surface.

On one side of the road, peach and apricot trees occasionally bloom, pink and white colors complement each other. When the breeze blows, the petals fall as lightly as butterfly wings, leaving behind pieces of fragrance.

On the other side, many blue brick and tile houses have been built, and the tiles are glowing with a faint luster under the sunlight.

Looking outside, there are crisscrossing paths and lush green wheat seedlings, swaying gently in the breeze, like waves on a green ocean.

Some villagers wore bamboo hats and bent over to work. Their figures seemed to blend into the wheat fields, forming a unique landscape. On the ridges, green grass grew and occasionally a few unknown wild flowers could be seen dotted in between.

In the distance, the Canglong Mountains are rolling and undulating, like a giant dragon lying on the earth. The mountains are shaded by green trees and lush. White clouds float leisurely in the mountains, like a veil or cotton wool, adding a mysterious color to the entire mountain range.

Such a beautiful scenery makes the entire Liujia Village look like a beautiful landscape painting, which makes people intoxicated.

I have been in this world for more than half a year, and I seem to be busy every day. I have very little time to relax. Liu Xu couldn't help but slow down his pace.

The clear sound of reading from the clan school came to her ears, and Liu Xu couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile on her face. Liujia Village will definitely get better and better!

After returning home, Liu Xu went to the west yard while it was still early. The water lilies in the pond had already budded and would probably bloom in a few days.

Zhu Jiacheng knew that she loved to eat fruit, so he planted a lot of fruit trees in the yard. She was busy in the winter and didn't ask much, and she didn't care that the trees were bare, but now she saw that there were a lot of good things.

Not to mention peaches, apricots, pears and dates, pomegranates and cherries are also planted outside the pavilion.

On the side against the wall, the bamboo has already grown new leaves. When Zhu Jiacheng planted it, he planted it with both the roots and the leaves, so you can still see a few bamboo shoots popping out.

Under the grape trellis, there were really grapes planted for her.

I don’t know where Zhu Jiacheng found it. The original owner didn’t remember finding any grapes at all. She thought there were no grapes in this era!

The green grass that was originally spread on the ground has also sprouted new leaves, and the entire west courtyard is many times more beautiful than when it was completed.

Liu Xu checked the west yard again, wrote down the things that needed to be purchased, and then took Qiao Yun back to the front yard.

Unfortunately, before she could even sit down, Wu Sangui came and shouted happily as soon as he entered the room.

"Miss, Miss, the watermelons you asked me to plant have buds! The cowpeas are blooming too! And the peppers I planted earlier, I found that there are dozens of them with fruits that seem different. Do you want to go take a look now?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu stood up immediately and ran to the backyard.

She went to the greenhouse first.

Sure enough, the cowpeas have bloomed, and she will be able to eat them soon. She can make porridge, salad, stir-fry with meat, soak sour cowpeas, and dry them... Even if they are boiled in plain water, they are delicious, and she is happy just thinking about it.

Then he looked at the watermelons behind him. Many of their buds had already bulged. Liu Xu called Wu Sangui, "Uncle Gui, the pollination of cowpeas is the same as other pollinations. Let someone come in and do it first. Now you just keep an eye on the flowers of these watermelons. Once they bloom, let me know immediately."

"Hey, miss, don't worry, I'll remember it!" Wu Sangui nodded quickly.

All greenhouse fruits and vegetables require artificial pollination, but artificial pollination of watermelon is the most troublesome.

For peppers, corn and cowpeas, pollination can be basically completed by shaking the flowers or branches. For watermelons, male flowers must be picked one by one for pollination.

Liu Xu went to take a look at the mutated peppers that Wu Sangui mentioned, and she was a little surprised.

The ones I brought before were all chili peppers, but now among the dozens of them, some have turned into string peppers, and a few look a bit like chili peppers...

"Uncle Gui, take care of these. When they turn red, put them together separately."

Wu Sangui agreed, and Liu Xu thought that since he was already here, he might as well go and check on the corn.

Because the temperature in the greenhouse was high, the corn had already headed at the end of last month. Liu Xu also used a few plants for hybridization and asked Wu Sangui to mark them.

"Just focus on weeding now, and then apply fertilizer when the plants have 18 or 19 leaves! You can basically wait for the harvest!"

"Yes, miss!"

"Uncle Gui and everyone else have worked hard these days! I'll ask Granny Fang to prepare extra meals for you!" Liu Xu was in a very good mood and said with a smile.

"I'd like to thank Miss on behalf of everyone!" Wu Sangui said happily.

Although the people in the new courtyard cook their own food, the kitchen will occasionally send them ready-made dishes.

The next day, the weather was still fine, but Chang Yifei came to the Liu family compound early in the morning.

"Godmother, little sister, here I come!"

Now Chang Yifei feels like he is at home in the Liu family, and the room next to Mu Lingxuan has become his permanent residence.

He came here with the people who went to pick mushrooms, and I think he rested in Yuyang Town last night.

"Hey, this kid probably hasn't had breakfast. Sister Lin, go prepare bowls and chopsticks for Master Yifei." Xu Ruolan said gently.

As soon as Aunt Lin went out, she ran into Chang Yifei.

Aunt Lin called out, "Good morning, Master Yifei!" and then bowed and left.

Chang Yifei nodded and walked into the house quickly. Seeing that everyone was there, he hurriedly greeted them.

"Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu, Aunt Ye, Godmother, Duoduo, Little Sister, good morning!"

Mr. Xu: "Okay, come and sit down!"

Madam Xu: "Child, you haven't had breakfast yet, right? Your godmother has asked someone to bring you some bowls and chopsticks. Sit down first!"

Sisters Ye Miaoyin and Xu Ruolan smiled and nodded.

Duoduo teased, "Brother Yifei, you didn't come here on time to eat breakfast, did you?"

Chang Yifei smiled and continued: "Hey, you're right, I just came home to have breakfast!"

Liu Xu glanced at him and asked, "What's going on? Has the cook from Chang's house in town run away from home?"

"Can you bear to let me, your brother, eat alone in town? Where's your conscience?" Chang Yifei looked pitiful.

Liu Xu didn't spoil him, "Is Qingfeng not a human?"

The breeze outside the door: I always feel like what the lady said is scolding me!

"Okay, you two siblings haven't seen each other for a while. Can't you change your bad habit of arguing with each other every time you meet?" Xu Ruolan scolded with a smile.

"Godmother is still the best!" His voice was mean and he didn't forget to give Liu Xu a provocative look.

Liu Xu rolled her eyes at him and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

The adults all looked happy, especially the two old ones, who liked the noisy atmosphere at home.

After breakfast, Liu Xu took Chang Yifei to the study.
