Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Seeing that everyone was present, Liu Xu asked Qiao Yun and Qiao Yu to bring the things over.

Xing'er, Tao'er and Erya each had a pair of silver gardenia earrings.

In addition, Taoer and Erya like embroidery, so Liuxu found them a book on embroidery needlework. This is very common in the capital, but it is a treasure for country girls like them.

Because Tao'er was about to get engaged, Liu Xu bought her a box of the best rouge.

As for Xing'er, Liu Xu bought her a copybook of calligraphy and a book of local customs and miscellanies. Influenced by her, this girl is no longer interested in needlework, but she is very serious about studying, and it is said that she is better than many boys in the village.

She knew that Xing'er wanted to learn more and prepare for future business.

The gifts touched the hearts of the three people. Xing'er and the other two were deeply moved. They hugged Liu Xu again and again, which made Mu Lingxuan feel depressed.

Then came the gifts from several cousins, who bought calligraphy brushes, abacus, wooden bows and wooden swords according to their personal preferences.

"Master Tang said that you are all very smart, but each has its own strengths. I know that Brother Goudan and my little cousin like martial arts, but learning is still very important. You don't want others to call you reckless men, do you?"

Seeing the two scratching their heads and laughing awkwardly, Liu Xu's face became more serious: "I don't care about the other people in the village, but you guys, at least you have to pass the Tongsheng exam. I'm not worried about Brother Shuisheng, Brother Tieniu, and Brother Chengjie, but you two really have to pay attention."

"Our Liu family is expanding. Although my father is supporting us now, what about the future? It's difficult to build a boat alone! Whether the Liu family will be swallowed up by a big family or become the Liu family of the northwest, it depends on how hard you work."

Among their father’s generation in the clan, apart from Liu Donglai, only Liu Mancang and Uncle Shuanzi still have some hope. She can lead the Liu family forward, but can they hold on?

People say birds of a feather flock together. They are considered the smarter younger generations in the village. Of course, she is not sure about the younger ones. The only thing she knows is that Liu Shuhan from the village chief's family is a good student.

But he is only six years old. It will take more than ten years for their generation to achieve success. The Liu family cannot just stay in Qinghe County because of this. At the latest in two years, the reputation of Liujia Village will spread beyond Yongshun Prefecture.

Tieniu and Xing'er are good at planning, and she wants to train them. Shuisheng and Liu Chengjie can take the imperial examination, even if they can only pass the exam to become a juren.

I don't know if it's because they are legitimate children, but this branch of theirs seems to have inherited better genes, and they seem to be better at studying than other children in the village. In the past, there was Liu Chengming, and now there are Liu Chengjie and Liu Shuhan, all of whom are praised by the teacher.

If Shuisheng hadn't had special treatment from Dong Bin, he would really not be able to compare with Liu Chengjie.

"I...I understand, Xuer, I will be serious next time." Liu Fukang blushed and lowered his head.

Speaking of which, Liu Fukang is better than Shuisheng Ziyuan. He is Liu Xu's cousin. Old Master Xu is also a Confucian businessman who was born a scholar. Liu Xu only heard about this from her mother when the old master was going to be a teacher.

Not to mention that there is an uncle who won the third place in the imperial examination at home.

But this guy just wants to become a master to eliminate evil and protect the good...

In order not to waste resources, Liu Xu planned to talk to Liu Chengjie and ask him to take an hour every day to come home and let her grandfather prepare a special meal for him.

However, it is not convenient to talk about this now.

After hearing Liu Xu's words, the others lowered their heads in thought. After a while, several brothers looked up and solemnly promised that they would work harder in the future.

Mu Lingxuan had been quietly watching his young fiancée. Although he did not say anything, his eyes changed from surprise, joy, admiration to now full of pride.

Yes, he was proud. In his heart, Liu Xu was his future wife. Although the Zhenguo Mansion was powerful and had no privacy in the backyard, a big tree attracts the wind. If the mistress didn't have the courage, how could she control those monsters outside?

Liu Xu's behavior made the prince feel even more excited.

But the person concerned was too busy to deal with him. After Liu Xu gave the gifts and encouraged the others, he suggested that since they were all together today, they should just go to the mountain for a meal before going back.

"Hey, I'm prepared. Ding ding ding!"

Liu Xu looked at the iron pot that Goudan took out from the backpack, with an expression that was hard to describe.

It would be great if this guy could use his ingenuity to study...

"Okay, that's great! Goudan and I are going to go hunting, Xuer and you guys go pick mushrooms, and Tieniu and the three of you are responsible for building the stove and collecting firewood, how about that?" Liu Fukang put his hand on Goudan's shoulder while making arrangements.

It’s not that I didn’t see Mu Lingxuan, but... who would dare to let our prince work? Besides, he was wearing new clothes.

No one dares? No, only Liu Xu dares!

"Brother Huaijin, come with me to pick mushrooms! Qiaoyun and Qiaoyu can help. Uncle Xuan, can you help with hunting? A rabbit or a pheasant will do?"

Xuanyi: ...Why must I be your uncle?

As if sensing Xuan Yi's resentment, Mu Lingxuan coughed lightly, and Xuan Yi immediately nodded and flew away.

Seeing this, Liu Fukang and the other man hurriedly followed.

Because Liu Xu was followed by Mu Lingxuan, Xing'er and the others walked in another direction, and Liu Xu signaled Qiao Yun and the others to follow.

After all, it was in the mountains and it was summer, so there were snakes and insects everywhere. She had Mu Lingxuan by her side, and she herself had some kung fu skills (although not very high), so she simply asked the two maids to help Xing'er and the others.

There was no pretending. Liu Xu simply pulled up the hem of her skirt to make a pocket. Looking at the glamorous prince standing next to her, she felt that this was a bad idea.

He... can only be used as a mascot. Mu Lingxuan didn't have such awareness. Seeing Liu Xu squatting down to pick mushrooms, he wanted to go up to help. Liu Xu quickly reached out and grabbed him.

"Hey, come on, just stand there and wait for me! This is something my mother made for you with great difficulty, don't get it dirty."

Mu Lingxuan looked at the clothes on his body and pursed his lips, "Wait a minute!"

After a while, Mu Lingxuan came back, wearing a black coat. Liu Xu took a look and was shocked. Oh my god, this guy took off his black coat!

Liu Xu's mouth twitched, "You took off Uncle Xuan's clothes? Then what is he wearing?"

"It will only take a blink of an eye to go down from here." Prince Mu said lightly.

Willow catkins: ...

At this moment, Xuan Yi, wearing only his inner clothes, flew towards the Liu family with a frustrated look on his face, under the gazes of Liu Fukang and Goudan.

So... Qinggong can be used like this?

The two looked at each other and realized that they had really broadened their horizons!

However, Xuan Yi was indeed fast and flew back in half a quarter of an hour.

Now that the clothes were convenient, Liu Xu was not polite and directly let Mu Lingxuan hold all the mushrooms in her pocket.

"Every family has mushrooms this year. The mushrooms on the mountain are flooded. It's a good opportunity to pick a few more and cultivate them at home." Liu Xu muttered as he picked them.

"Brother Huaijin, can you help me find a few large leaves? I can use them."

"it is good!"

In the blink of an eye, Mu Lingxuan flew away, and Liu Xu continued to look for mushrooms. She held a stick in her hand. In summer, the grass was lush, and tapping it with a stick could scare away snakes and insects to avoid being bitten.

But...it protected the ground, but not the head.

Just as Liu Xu was searching earnestly among the fallen leaves, Mu Lingxuan's exclamation came from behind: "Be careful!"
