Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Mrs. Chang was wearing the dress that Xu Ruolan had sewn herself today. She dressed up specially and looked ten years younger than before.

Liu Xu and Han Duoduo were wearing sister outfits. Their skirts were made of the same piece of cloth as Mrs. Chang's, but the styles were more suitable for their age. The sleeves were flared sleeves in pink and purple gauze respectively, and the tied sleeves design made them look playful and fairy-like.

The catkins are pink, showing the girl's cuteness. Han Duoduo's are lavender, showing a more girlish temperament.

Mrs. Chang held her adopted daughter's left hand, and Han Duoduo held her arm on the right, and they looked like a mother and daughter group.

Chang Yunjiao and Chang Yunke from the second and third rooms were so jealous that their eyes turned red. Unfortunately, their fathers had reminded them when they came that they must have a good relationship with Liu Xu.

Not all the people here today are women, but the men are on the other side. After all, the flower viewing banquet is actually a large-scale blind date banquet, and everyone here understands it.

Just after passing the Moon Gate, a group of gorgeously dressed ladies came towards us. Leading them was Ding Maoye’s wife, Mrs. Xue.

Next to her were the wife of the magistrate, He Yuan, and the wife of the prefect, Tao You. Behind them were their daughters-in-law, and the eldest daughter of the Bai family was the eldest daughter-in-law of He Yuan, and also He Lei's former mistress.

"Madam Chang, you are finally here. I haven't seen you for many days. You look younger than before!" The prefect's wife smiled warmly.

Madam Chang also had a formal smile on her face: "Bijun has met Madam, and Madam is still as charming as ever."

Then he exchanged greetings with several other ladies and went in together.

The sun in May was already quite strong, so the Bai family set up the guest reception in the open pavilion so that they could avoid the sun and still enjoy the flowers.

When everyone sat down in the open pavilion, Xue recognized Liu Xu at a glance, and praised with a smile on her face:

"This must be General Liu's beloved daughter! With bright eyes and white teeth, she makes people happy just by looking at her!"

She was the only girl of seven or eight years old in their group, so there was no need to guess.

"Madam still has such good eyesight. Xu'er, come and meet the prefect's wife." When outside, Su Bijun did not call Liu Xu by her nickname.

"Liu Xu greets Madam, long live the Madam!" Liu Xu stepped forward and saluted.

"Hey, good, get up quickly, you are such a good child!" Xue said as she called Liu Xu to her side, took off a jade bracelet from her hand and put it on Liu Xu's wrist.

Liu Xu took a look and saw that it was full of green. Although she didn't know much about jade, the texture and pure color showed that it was definitely not an ordinary item.

Liu Xu looked up at Su Bijun inquiringly, and when she nodded, he accepted it and bent his knees to show his gratitude.

After them came the other two officials' wives and several wives of wealthy gentry and businessmen who had arrived earlier.

Originally, everyone thought Liu Xu was just the adopted daughter of the Chang family. But when they heard that she was actually the general's daughter and was treated like this by the prefect's wife, everyone replaced their gifts with valuable things.

Liu Xu just moved his mouth, bowed a few times, and accepted a bunch of gifts.

Afterwards, Su Bijun introduced Han Duoduo to everyone. When they heard that she was the cousin of the general's mansion, they praised her again. As expected, Han Duoduo also received a lot of gifts.

The young ladies brought by other families also came over to pay their respects. Su Bijun and the other ladies also gave gifts, but their gifts were not as precious as those from Liu Xu and the other two.

Chang Yunjiao and Chang Yunke then understood why their father had given them those instructions before leaving.

I originally thought it was a pheasant, but I never expected it to be an immature phoenix.

Just as the two were about to get close to the Liuxu sisters, a servant announced that Madam Su and Madam Fang had arrived.

If it was just Madam Fang it would be fine, but Madam Su is the elder, and although everyone did not go out to greet her, they all stood up to greet her.

Mrs. Bai and Su Bijun naturally went out to greet them, and Liu Xu and the other two looked at each other and followed them.

Just after walking out of the pavilion, the old lady and Madam Fang came over hand in hand. They talked and laughed as they walked.

Liu Xu originally thought that Mrs. Fang would be a glamorous woman, but she turned out to be a very gentle and dignified woman.

Miss Liu suddenly felt like a flower stuck in cow dung. It's not that Fang Shaohui is ugly, after all, his two sons are good-looking. It's just that I think it's a pity for such a woman to marry Fang Shaohui, a sinister and vicious person.

They led the people into the pavilion, and everyone greeted each other. Old Madam Su recognized Liu Xu at a glance.

"Is this Baoer? Good boy, come to grandma." Old Madam Su waved at Liu Xu.

"Hello, Grandma Su. Xuer greets you. I wish you good health and a long life."

The old lady was unable to attend the previous family reunion banquet because she went to the Taoist temple to fast. She only asked someone to send the gift to Su Bijun and asked her to pass it on.

Madam Su praised Liu Xu and loved her very much. Then she gave her jade bracelet to Liu Xu.

Su Bijun looked at it in surprise, because that was the mutton-fat jade bracelet that her mother had always loved.

"A gift from an elder cannot be declined! Xu'er thanks Grandma Su!"

After that, there will inevitably be another round of greeting gifts.

Afterwards, Mrs. Bai sent the old lady to Old Lady Bai's place. After all, she was old, her energy was a little less, and she liked to be quieter.

After the younger generations paid their respects to the ladies of each family, they were taken to another place by Bai Xiaoxiao, the second legitimate daughter of the Bai family.

After all, it is a noble family, and the courtyard is beautifully built. Now it is the flower season, and the courtyard is full of flowers in all colors.

The girls all had their own circles, and when they got to the yard, they dispersed into groups of three or five.

Sister Chang Yunjiao naturally had her own friends, and wanted to go but was concerned about her father's words. So she followed Liu Xu, but her heart flew away.

"Sister Yunjiao, Sister Yunke, go and have fun, and come back to find me." Liu Xu couldn't bear to see them acting like they were in Cao's camp but their hearts were with Han, so she suggested.

"Yes, you guys go ahead, Sister Xuer, we are here for you!" It was Su Bijun's niece, the third lady Su Zi, who spoke.

Except for Liu Xu and Han Duoduo, the remaining members of their group include the third lady Su Zi, the fourth lady Su Tong, and the second lady Bai Xiaoxiao.

The Su sisters are twins, who just turned 15 this year, and they came here to choose a husband. Su Zi is gentle and steady, while Su Tong is eccentric.

Bai Xiaoxiao is one year older than the other two and is a cheerful and generous girl. Although she knew that Liu Xu was the daughter of the general's mansion, she did not flatter her or be submissive.

However, because Liu Xu is young, she is taken care of like a younger sister.

The weather was a bit hot, so the group found a pavilion to sit down. A maid brought tea and snacks, then left.

Several personal maids stood at the entrance of the pavilion.

"Sister Xu'er, I heard that you beat up Fang Yu?" Su Tong looked at Liu Xu with shining eyes.

Liu Xu's mouth became an O shape. "How is it possible? Who spread it? I'm so young, do you think it's possible?"

Su Tong: "Many people outside say so, saying that Miss Chang has eliminated harm for the people!"

"Xiaotong! Don't talk nonsense!" Su Zi scolded.

"Oh, third sister, I'm going to speak softly. No one can hear it except us!" Su Tong said without turning his head, and then looked at Liu Xu again, as if to say, "You are my idol."

"Hey, Sister Su Tong, you got the wrong person. It was clearly Senior Sister who beat him up!"

As soon as Liu Xu finished speaking, the three of them looked at Han Duoduo with admiration.

Han Duoduo was feeding the snacks into her mouth, and she almost choked when the three men looked at her fiercely.
