Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Chang Yifei was so angry in Wuling County that he scolded Mu Lingxuan for a whole incense stick of time.

This was because he didn't know that Mu Lingxuan was now in Liujia Village. If he knew, he would have rushed over without saying a word.

I finally had a little sister, but before she could even warm up to me, she was taken away by a wolf cub. The most frustrating thing is that he brought this wolf cub with him. Dead!

Liu Xu had no idea how her sworn brother felt. Liu Donglai and Mu Lingxuan were leaving the next day, and she had to prepare some things for them.

Chili sauce, mushroom sauce and other foods do not spoil easily in summer.

Yesterday I asked Uncle He to go to Zuiyunxuan to buy some beef, and I added it to the sauce today.

Liu Changshun knew that Liu Donglai had returned, so he worked overtime to make dried tofu and yuba. Fortunately, the weather was good, so the yuba made in the morning was dry in the afternoon.

Liu Xu brought some dried tofu, washed some small potatoes, and added some vegetables, and asked Granny Fang and the others to braise some vegetarian dishes after they finished braising the meat.

He put everything in ceramic jars, took out some saltpeter that he had bought earlier, and told Liu Donglai and the others how to make ice. This way, the marinated products could be kept for a longer time, and they would not be afraid of the heat on the road.

The group came back on horseback, as they had to take a carriage because they had a lot of stuff with them. But with two horses, they could go fast.

Calculating the time, they will be able to meet up just in time when the Mu family army passes Yongshun Prefecture.

People say that a son-in-law is half a son. Liu Xu didn't know how others did it, but her mother really treated Mu Lingxuan as her son. She gave him two sets of clothes, shoes and socks, and also gave him the new clothes she had made earlier.

We have an ice cellar at home now, and there are still some bacon and sausages made during the Chinese New Year, so I’ll take them all with me.

Liu Xu looked at her father's gloomy face and felt amused. She was sure that her father would look at Mu Lingxuan's nose not as a nose and his eyes not as eyes in the future.

Thinking about my father in my previous life, oh, he can only be called my biological father, right?

Shake your head and get those unimportant people out of your mind.

Liu Xu thought about it, then ran back to her own yard and picked all the few apricots left on the tree. There were only about four or five pounds in total. They could use them to relieve the greasiness after eating the braised meat on the way.

It's a pity that the watermelons are gone, but fortunately she saved a lot of seeds, and now the second batch has sprouted. In the fall, she can harvest another batch of watermelons.

However, watermelons are not grown repeatedly, so the greenhouse is used for cultivation of willow catkins.

Some of the previous artificial hybrid corns produced good results, while others did not. She needed to try again. And she seemed to have seen this melon somewhere, saying that it could be grafted with pumpkin seedlings, but... Yongshun Prefecture didn't seem to have pumpkins. She didn't know if Dongsheng had any. She had to ask Mu Lingxuan.

Letting Qiaoyu carry the apricots, Liu Xu went back to the house, took out some rice paper and painted for a while, then went straight to find Mu Lingxuan.

"Brother Huai Jin, have you seen the things on here? Some are green, and some are orange." There is also a study room in the west wing, and Mu Lingxuan reads books in it when he has nothing to do.

Looking at the things that Liu Xu placed in front of him, Mu Lingxuan...it was something that was not available locally.

"Well, this is called pumpkin. Nanyue produces this, and the pastries made from it are delicious!" Mu Lingxuan nodded.

"Can I get it? The orange one! If I can't get the whole thing, I can just bring back some seeds." Liu Xu's big, Caroline-like eyes blinked as she looked at Mu Lingxuan with anticipation.

"Yes, but you have to wait! And Yuyan, I will send it over when the time comes!" Isn't it just seeds? If Liuxu said to bring the whole thing, it might not be easy to do. But finding some seeds should be no problem.

It's just... "Where do the seeds grow? Do we need to take the roots as well?"

Willow catkins: ...

After a silent sigh, Willow Catkins explained, "The pumpkin's seeds are inside its belly. Take an orange one, cut it open, and scoop out the seeds in the middle."

After thinking for a while, he added, "However, the juice on the surface is sticky and colored, and it is difficult to wash off once it gets on your hands. It is best to wear two gloves when digging. After digging, wash it in water and take the seeds away. Those with nets are discarded. In addition, it is less noticeable if mixed with gourd seeds."

It is at the border of Nanyue and Dongsheng, but Mu Lingxuan only knows that this thing can be used to make pastries, and he doesn't even know what the seeds look like, which means that this thing is controlled by Nanyue, just like the lotus roots in Yongzezhou.

"Okay, I understand." Mu Lingxuan nodded.

Liu Xu thought for a moment and reminded him, "Brother Huaijin, pumpkins can be used to make more than just cakes. Like potatoes, they can be used as food or vegetables, and... they are not picky about where they grow!"

Mu Lingxuan stood up suddenly after hearing this, "Bao'er, are you serious?"

Liu Xu sighed and pulled the man to sit down. "Yes, Nan Yue is willing to pass it on because she probably knows the characteristics of pumpkins. It doesn't require any special soil, it can be grown anywhere at the foot of the mountain. The growing period of corn is similar, and if the soil is fertile, a single pumpkin can weigh dozens of kilograms. The vines are well developed and can be cut to feed livestock."

After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and reminded, "Also, have someone keep an eye out for something called sweet potato or yam in the south or Nanyue. It has a red-purple skin and grows in the soil. The seedlings are a bit like Yuyan's, and are also heart-shaped. If you find it, be sure to find a way to bring it back."

Based on his understanding of willow catkins over the past few times, Mu Lingxuan knew that these things must be grains, and they are very good grains, but...

"Baoer, how do you know..." Mu Lingxuan couldn't help but asked.

Liu Xu was silent for a while, "I said I dreamt about it, do you believe me?"

Mu Lingxuan looked at her deeply and said, "I believe it!"

"Don't let anyone know that I asked you to find it!" Liu Xu reminded finally.

"Well, don't worry, I know!" Mu Lingxuan nodded carefully. He understood the principle of being guilty of possessing a treasure.

She is his future wife and he should protect her.

"By the way, since you guys are driving the carriage, I'll go dig up some watermelon seedlings for you! I'll write you a note on how to do artificial pollination later."

In this way, they can also eat fresh watermelons in the north.

"it is good!"

"Then I'll leave if there's nothing else. You can read your book." After saying that, Liu Xu got up and left.

Mu Lingxuan looked at the disappearing figure, a little dazed.

"Xuanyi!"

"master!"

"Send a message to Xuan Er to select two maids from the Dark Guard Camp. One will protect her closely, and the other will follow Duo Duo in the future. Her age is much different from theirs. Also, let Xuan San and Xuan Qi stay in Liujia Village permanently."

"Yes!" Xuan Yi was slightly surprised. It seemed that the master really cared about Miss Liu.

You know, Xuan San is one of the best secret guards in Kung Fu besides him and Xuan Er, and Xuan Qi is the best in Qing Kung Fu.

Mu Lingxuan arranged this to tell them that if they encountered danger, one of them would block it in front, and the other would take Liu Xu away. Unless the other party could kill Xuan San instantly, it would be a foolish dream to hurt Liu Xu.

At this moment, both of them forgot that Liu Xu was Ye Miaoyin's disciple.
