Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

It was already the 4th hour when they arrived at Zuiyunxuan. Shopkeeper Chang looked up and saw their ox cart and came out to greet them.

"Brother Liu, Miss Xu, Miss Xing, why are you here?"

It's no wonder that Shopkeeper Chang asked this. Liu Changshun had said before that there were no more mushrooms on the mountain, and he didn't tell him about their mushroom cultivation. Now it was still early for the next settlement, so he was a little curious.

"Uncle Chang, long time no see! Of course we are here to bring you something good!" Liu Xu jumped off the ox cart cleverly and said with a smile.

Liu Changshun and Xing'er also got out of the car to greet them.

"Oh? Show uncle quickly, what good stuff is this time!" Shopkeeper Chang looked expectant when he heard that. For so long, this girl had never let him down.

"Dangdangdang, look!" Liu Xu and the other two moved aside, revealing the pythons coiled in a pile on the frame.

"Hiss" Shopkeeper Chang stepped forward to take a look and couldn't help but gasp.

"Girl, this thing is not easy to make. Where did you get it?"

Look at its size. When it was alive, it could swallow a whole sheep. And once it gets entangled, even an adult could be strangled to death.

Hearing this, Liu Changshun couldn't help but glare at Liu Xu again. Liu Xu stuck out her tongue in embarrassment.

Upon seeing this, Shopkeeper Chang welcomed them in first and ordered his servants to take the ox cart and the snake on it to the back kitchen.

Several people went to the hall in the backyard where Manager Chang was entertaining guests. After the waiter served tea and left, Manager Chang asked again:

"Looking at the way you were just now, is that big guy related to Xu girl?"

Liu Xu smiled awkwardly and held Xing'er in silence. Liu Changshun glared at her again, and then told Manager Chang about how Liu Xu had gone to the outer perimeter of Beilinpo alone and killed a python.

After hearing this, Shopkeeper Chang couldn't help but take another breath, patted his chest, frowned at Liu Xu and said:

"You girl, you are too messy!"

Since they met, Shopkeeper Chang really loved the little girl Liu Xu. Thinking that this girl almost died in Shekou, he felt a little scared.

"Hehe, that was an accident, an accident!" Liu Xu said flatteringly.

"Don't be so reckless in the future. There are many ways to make money. Just say that you sold your seasoning recipe to Zuiyunxuan, isn't that enough? Why did you come up with such a bad idea!"

"I know I was wrong, Uncle Chang. My mother and my third uncle and aunt have already scolded me. Don't worry, I promise to think twice before doing anything next time." Liu Xu shrank his head and bowed his head to beg for mercy.

Seeing her like this, Shopkeeper Chang didn't know what to say. He changed the subject:

"This thing is a rare good thing. Uncle won't let you get away with it. I'll give you 25 coins per catty. The snake skin and snake gall are another price. The snake gall is taels. I see that your snake has no damage except for its head being chopped off, so I'll give you taels."

Liu Xu nodded after hearing this, then rolled her eyes and asked again:

"Well, Uncle Chang, I also dug up an old ginseng. Do you want it?"

Shopkeeper Chang was surprised again:

"Oh? Let me take a look. If the year is good, I will buy it together. If the year is low, I will help you find a good buyer."

Upon hearing this, Liu Xu jumped off the chair, took out the moss bag covering the backpack, and handed it to Manager Chang.

Shopkeeper Chang slowly opened it, and he couldn't help but widen his eyes. He saw that the main root of the ginseng was thick and straight, shaped like a human, with many slender roots, winding and stretching. Holding it in his hand, a strong medicinal fragrance came to his nose. Shopkeeper Chang used his hand to cushion it:

"Hiss, girl, this is at least a hundred years old ginseng, how did you dig it?"

"Hehe, I just tripped over a stone and saw it!" Liu Xu smiled a little embarrassedly.

Hearing this, Shopkeeper Chang couldn't help but twitch his lips: "... This girl must be God's own daughter. She just casually goes into the mountains and kills giant pythons and digs up century-old ginseng. How can those herbalists who search for ginseng all over the mountains survive...?"

Shopkeeper Chang finally managed to look away and said to Liu Xu seriously:

"Girl, your ginseng is extremely rare. As the saying goes, seven ginsengs are worth eight treasures. I just gave you a heads up. Your ginseng is definitely a treasure. I cannot estimate the price of such a rare treasure. If you are not in a hurry, can you wait for the Third Young Master to come and talk to you in person?"

"Well, Uncle Chang, you have a wide range of knowledge. What do you think the minimum price for this thing is?" Liu Xu swallowed and stuttered.

Liu Changshun and Xing'er were also stunned, their mouths turned into O shapes.

"At least this number or more."

Liu Xu looked at the five fingers that Shopkeeper Chang held out and swallowed again. She knew, of course, that this was definitely not fifty-five hundred.

So...her fall is worth at least five thousand taels! Oh my God, I'm rich, I'm rich, ahahahaha.

When Shopkeeper Chang saw Liu Xu's expression change from disbelief to surprise and then to a silly smile, he couldn't help but feel his eyebrows jump and his mouth twitched. Then he solemnly told the others:

"Okay, put it away quickly. I will notify the Third Young Master to come over as soon as possible. Remember, this thing must not be known to others, otherwise it will bring disaster to your life."

Upon hearing this, the three of them nodded immediately.

So, Manager Chang took them to settle the money for selling the snakes.

When Liu Xu and his companions walked out of Zuiyunxuan, they had 41 taels of silver in their arms and the same backpack on their backs. But this time, Liu Changshun wanted to keep his eyes on it, fearing that someone would take it away.

Looking at Xing Er again, she is in the same situation...

Seeing this situation, Liu Xu didn't dare to stay any longer and quickly asked Liu Changshun to drive home.

Along the way, Liu Changshun drove the ox cart so fast that the two sisters had to hold on to the cart board with their hands. Liu Xu was worried that the ginseng would be damaged, so she quickly told Liu Changshun, and then he slowed down. But the time to get back to the village was still one-third shorter than before.

Several people returned to the village. Liu Changshun sent Liu Xu to the door and went straight home.

Watching them leave in a hurry, Liu Xu sighed, then turned around, closed the door and went in.

In the yard, Xu Ruolan placed a large dustpan on the ground and put their old mattress on it. The two little ones were placed on the mattress and allowed to play by themselves. Xu Ruolan sat aside and sewed clothes. Judging from the fabric, it should have been bought by Liu Xu before.

"Mom, Brother Xu, Brother Hao, I'm back!" Liu Xu jumped over.

Xu Ruolan asked with a loving look:

"Are you tired? Take a rest first. There is warm water on the table. Mom will go get some rice."

Then, while eating, the mother and daughter chattered about what happened in the town. Xu Ruolan, as the daughter of a wealthy businessman, was not particularly surprised. She just told her daughter to hide the ginseng well, and then the two talked about building a house.

On the other side, Liu Changshun took Xing'er home. When they were near the door, Liu Changshun whispered:

"Xing'er, don't tell anyone a word about the ginseng. That includes your mother and brother. Remember that!"

"Dad, Xing'er won't do it! Don't worry!" Liu Xing'er said to Liu Changshun with a serious face. She was not stupid. Money could attract people's attention. If this matter was leaked, Xu'er's family would definitely be in trouble.

The father and daughter calmed down a little, then smiled and walked in.
