Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Moonlight poured into the room through the glazed windows. There were two little girls on the bed, one was sitting cross-legged with tears in her eyes, while the other was lying down with a dumbfounded expression.

"Senior Sister, you are this!" Liu Xu gave Han Duoduo a thumbs up.

But... "Don't worry, he won't do that, otherwise Chief Yan would have killed you long ago." Liu Xu comforted.

"Don't you think about it? Would he wait until now to teach you a lesson? And I think he would be grateful to you. Without your kick, we wouldn't have rescued them. You insisted on bringing him back, and he even did a lot of hard labor for Grandpa Meng for this!"

Han Duoduo heard this, thought about it, and felt that Liu Xu was right. As the saying goes, ignorance is not a crime!

Thinking of this, Han Duoduo returned to normal.

"Well, let's go to sleep. I'm so sleepy. I helped Grandpa Meng pick herbs with my mother all afternoon. I'm so tired." After saying that, he fell on the bed, and soon the sound of even breathing was heard.

Liu Xu couldn't help but smile when she saw this. However, the little girl's face already showed the appearance of a beauty.

On her fair and translucent oval face, her facial features are delicate and small, her curved eyebrows are like a crescent moon, and below them are a pair of big eyes as clear as lake water, bright and smart, as if hiding endless stars. Under her upturned little nose, her pink little mouth is slightly upturned, which is extremely cute.

With this appearance, it is not difficult to imagine how beautiful she will be when she grows up.

Liu Xu was a little sleepless, as she had not expected to be engaged. She was not as ecstatic as she appeared to be, she just didn't want her family to worry.

She had lived for nearly thirty years in her previous life, and she had had boyfriends before. Well, although it was only for a few months and there was no such thing, it still counted as a boyfriend in name.

The boy was her college senior, also from an ordinary family. She met him when she was a freshman.

It is said that college life without love is incomplete. After the boy pursued her for three months, she agreed.

However, they had not been together for long before her grandmother passed away. She was very depressed during that time and ignored him. When she came to her senses, she found that he was dating another girl.

Since then, she has never dated again. It’s not that she was deeply hurt, but she just felt that love was just like that to her, and it didn’t matter whether it existed or not.

She was quite satisfied with Mu Lingxuan, and he was the best match among all the spouses. They were going to get married eventually, and he had good looks, power, and a good personality.

In the end, it's all her parents' decision. Although her parents doted on her very much, given the background of the times, wouldn't it be better for her to marry him instead of being forced into the palace?

Moreover, she recalled today that Mu Lingxuan seemed to have feelings for her, although... well... it was a little unbelievable. But she was different from a real seven or eight-year-old girl, so it was not surprising that he ignored her age.

The seven-year age difference was just right in her opinion, since boys mature later.

Thinking of what her father said that Mu Lingxuan wanted the engagement token she prepared, she smiled slightly. She believed that he would like what she prepared.

Liu Xu fell asleep as she was thinking. The moonlight fell on the girl's delicate face. Perhaps she was dreaming about something, and a sweet smile appeared on the corner of the girl's mouth.

The next day, Liu Xu got up early to practice martial arts as usual, half an hour of basic skills and one hour of internal strength training.

After going back to wash up, the master and his two disciples went to the main courtyard to have dinner together.

Mu Lingxuan was waiting in the side room. When he saw them come out, he walked out.

Seeing this, Ye Miaoyin and her daughter nodded and left quickly.

Mu Lingxuan looked at the willow catkins, who was wearing a light purple long dress in the morning light and looked like a fairy fallen into the mortal world, and was stunned for a moment.

Liu Xu just looked at him with a peaceful smile on her face.

After a while, Mu Lingxuan finally reacted. He coughed lightly, his ears slightly red, "Baoer, good morning!"

Liu Xu didn't expect him to call her by her nickname. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "Good morning, Brother Huaijin!"

Then she took the initiative to step forward and tugged at his sleeve, "Come on, let's go eat, I'm hungry."

Looking at the little hand between his sleeves, Mu Lingxuan moved his fingers slightly. He tried hard to suppress the urge in his heart to hold it and nodded slightly.

The two walked into the main hall together. Seeing this, Liu Donglai's face darkened. Xu Ruolan saw it and kicked him from below, then invited the two to eat.

The Liu family's breakfast is simple, with each person having a bowl of soy milk and a boiled egg. On the table there are steamed dumplings, vegetable and chicken porridge, and a few side dishes to go with the porridge.

The two Dun'er were also there, each with a bowl of egg custard and a bowl of goat's milk.

With these two around, the whole breakfast was very lively, which was unprecedented for Mu Lingxuan.

Although he had eaten breakfast at Liu's house before, it was usually delivered to his room. In addition, the two children were still young, so it was not as fun as this.

Especially Yuandun'er, who was impatient and would start crying out "ah ah ah" if Yue Niang fed him slowly.

After dinner, Mr. Xu and his wife, Ye Miaoyin and her daughter went to the school, accompanied by Nanny Chun and her husband, and He Feng.

Xu Hean can also read and write, so he can go and help the children practice calligraphy. Han Duoduo was called away by Ye Miaoyin, under the pretext of asking her to help check the recent achievements of the female students, but in fact it was to leave space for Liu Xu and the others.

Xu Ruolan was going to take care of the workshop, and Liu Donglai went to talk to the village chief about the accommodation problem of the officials of Sinong Temple.

When he is not at home on weekdays, Liu Xu is the one who takes care of these things. He wants to share some of the burden with his daughter while he is at home.

Liu Xu was free like this. Not really free, because the two children were left to her, and of course, there was also Mu Lingxuan who had nothing to do.

The two didn't know what to do, so Liu Xu suggested taking their two younger brothers to see what Liujia Village is like today.

Mu Lingxuan naturally had no objection. Of course, they were not the only ones there. Xuan Yi and Qiao Yun were still following three meters behind.

After leaving the yard, Liu Xu walked west, where there were potatoes and corns planted.

"By the way, Brother Huaijin, I asked my third brother to send more than 3,000 kilograms of corn seeds to the North Territory, which can probably be used to plant nearly 1,000 acres of land. After the harvest, you can keep all of them as seeds. Together with the ones we plant on our farm, the North Territory will be able to plant corn widely by next year at the latest."

"What about potatoes?" Compared to corn, potatoes attracted Mu Lingxuan more because they could be used as both a vegetable and as food. Moreover, Liu Donglai told him privately that the per-acre yield reported by Liu Xu this time was more than half lower.

In other words, the yield per mu of that thing reached more than 2,000 kilograms. If the North could grow this, there would no longer be any worries about food and fodder problems.

"We have to wait a little longer for potatoes. We have limited seeds, and currently we can only plant them in Liujia Village. Do you see that field? It's all planted with new grains. Except for the fertile land for growing rice, the rest of Liujia Village is all planted with corn, and they are all intercropped, either with potatoes or soybeans."

The potatoes have now sprouted, and the wasteland in the west of the village has basically been reclaimed. When Liu Da posted the poster, the mayor couldn't believe it and ran to take a look in person.

And not only the west of the village, but also the low-lying land in the south was not spared. It is tiring, but the land that was cultivated is all top-quality fertile land, and now rice seedlings are planted.
