Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Liu Xu's chuckle attracted Mu Lingxuan's attention. "What did you think of?"

Liu Xu didn't react and said, "Given the height difference between us, does it look like a father and his daughter?"

As soon as she said this, Liu Xu regretted it. Oh my God, why did she say what was in her mind?

He glanced at the young man next to him and saw that Mu Lingxuan's face was frozen.

"Hey, Brother Huaijin, what I mean is that you are really tall, almost catching up with my dad."

This explanation is worse than no explanation...

Mu Lingxuan was very upset, but looking at the soft little girl beside him, he couldn't bear to say anything. He could only remain silent.

Liu Xu blinked and quickly changed the subject: "Brother Huai Jin, did you receive the letter I sent you earlier?"

"Well, you said that Zhenxiu Pavilion wants to open a branch. Do you have enough money?"

Chang Yifei sent him the dividend from Zhenxiu Pavilion last quarter. From just one store in one quarter, he made a profit of nearly five thousand taels, which means an overall profit of more than fourteen thousand taels.

This is still a store in an ordinary county town. If it is moved to the capital city! And Liu Xu said in the letter that he would open several other prosperous counties at the same time.

"It's enough. Ever since the chili peppers came out, the store has been selling spicy hot pot base. Plus, it's hot today, so barbecue and drinks are also selling well. Third brother said that the profit in the past month is almost catching up with the previous quarter. And..." Liu Xu paused here.

Mu Lingxuan didn't say anything, just looked at her.

"And I got a store for free when I went to the capital this time. The location is just right, so we saved a lot of money again!"

That's true. At the beginning, they spent only about two thousand yuan to build the store in the county town. With the decoration and other things, the investment in the storefront alone was more than three thousand yuan.

Not to mention the provincial capital, plus the yard I bought later, it would probably cost at least nearly ten thousand taels.

She was ready to invest more money at that time. After all, these houses were assets and it would not be a loss to buy them. Who would have thought that the Fang family would rush to give them to her!

"Well, what's the matter? When did you go to the provincial capital?" Mu Lingxuan asked.

Like willow catkins pouring beans, she told Mu Lingxuan everything that happened when she went to the capital city.

She might not even realize it herself, but she trusted Mu Lingxuan extremely much.

But even if they were discovered, they would probably think it was because they had a life-threatening relationship.

In Liu Xu's eyes, Mu Lingxuan's rescue of her from Langya Village was a life-or-death friendship. Otherwise, if she fell into Liu Chengming's hands, she would definitely have a fate worse than death.

"You said that the second young master of the Fang family wants to bully you...?" Liu Xu was talking excitedly when the aura around Mu Lingxuan became extremely cold.

"Ah? Ah!" Liu Xu was interrupted and inexplicably felt a little cold. She was stunned for a moment, and then she saw that Mu Lingxuan's face was a little gloomy. She thought he was worried about Han Duoduo, so she hurriedly comforted him:

"Don't worry, don't worry, he doesn't have that ability. Senior sister killed them all in a flash! They ran away with bruised faces and noses."

Mu Lingxuan didn't say anything else and restrained his aura, but in his heart he took a grudge against the Fang family.

If Liu Xu knew about this, she would probably have to light a candle for the Fang family.

However, at this moment, she was happily talking to Mu Lingxuan about other things that happened in the capital city.

"Oil press?" Mu Lingxuan heard the key point.

"Yeah! As the name suggests, it's a machine for squeezing oil... well, it's not a machine. Chili sauce and mushroom sauce require a lot of soybean oil, and if I buy it outside, the price is too high. So I thought I could just squeeze it myself. So I made this!"

"Oh, by the way, you don't know this yet! I also drew a noodle machine for you, brother, that makes dried noodles. When you go on a long trip, you can just bring dried noodles with you. It's convenient and quick. You can cook a bowl of noodles with just a little boiling water. Pair it with my special chili sauce and mushroom sauce, and you don't have to worry about not having enough to eat when you're out in the open."

Mu Lingxuan was a little confused: "What is dry noodles? Sun-dried noodles?"

"That's about the same idea. Aren't the noodles we usually eat made and rolled fresh? It's much more convenient to use a noodle machine, and the noodles are evenly thick and thin. Because they are dried in the sun, they can be stored for a long time. They won't go bad even after half a year."

"And with a pound of dried noodles, you can cook a pot this big. Isn't it convenient?" Liu Xu said while gesturing.

Mu Lingxuan is not stupid. Although he doesn’t understand some of what Liu Xu said, it doesn’t prevent him from grasping the main points.

"So, these noodles can be transported over long distances?"

"Of course, let me tell you..." Liu Xu was about to say goodbye to Mu Lingxuan.

"Xu'er, Xu'er, here we come!"

At this time, Liu Xu and the others had unknowingly walked to the north forest slope, and Xing'er and the others were calling her at the intersection.

Except for Xing'er and his sister, everyone else was carrying baskets, apparently planning to pick some grass to bring back.

Nowadays, every household in Liujia Village raises several or even dozens of pigs, and dozens or hundreds of chickens and ducks, so everyone still helps to cut some grass after school every day.

There are many places to cut grass in the village, and Beilinpo is considered the territory of their group.

The reason why there are so many livestock is because everyone knows that the reason why Xing'er's pigs grow so fast is that they are fed with bean dregs, so everyone also buys bean dregs from the tofu shop.

Nowadays, there is too much bean dregs in the tofu shop, so Liu Changshun sells them to the villagers at the price of one cent for two catties. As for those who come to buy from outside, it is still two cents for three catties.

Xing'er and the others ran up and naturally saw Mu Lingxuan next to Liu Xu.

They had only seen his back before and thought it was Chang Yifei. After all, they had never seen Mu Lingxuan wearing clothes of other colors.

Seeing that it was him, Xing'er and Shuisheng were about to take the lead in kneeling and greeting, but Mu Lingxuan stopped them in time, "No need to be polite. In Liujia Village, I am just Mu Lingxuan."

The young boys and girls looked at each other, somewhat at a loss.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Liu Xu hurriedly said, "Brother Huaijin is a very good person, don't be so reserved."

Mu Lingxuan thought about it and added, "You can call me Brother Mu if you don't mind."

Now everyone was stunned, and everyone had a question in their mind: Am I hallucinating?

Not only them, but even Xuan Yi who was standing not far away almost fell down: Is this his master?

Liu Xu was the fastest to accept it, "Right, we are all so familiar with each other, and Brother Huai Jin is only a few years older than you guys, so just call him Brother Mu!"

Xing Er and others: You are just familiar with it!

"Mu, Brother Mu!" Liu Fukang was the first to change his words. First, he had met Mu Lingxuan before in the Liu family compound, and second, this boy liked martial arts and admired Mu Lingxuan, who became a general at a young age.

Now that he had spoken, the others became less reserved.

Mu Lingxuan doesn't like to talk much in front of outsiders, but when they greeted him, he nodded to everyone with a calm expression.

[Mu Lingxuan: How can I not be peaceful? These are all my fiancée's playmates.]
