Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Winter goes and spring comes like a flash of lightning. In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

"Liu Chenghao, stop right there!" A delicate shout broke the silence of the mansion.

"Ah, sister, I was wrong, I really don't dare to do it anymore!"

The little boy was covered in ink and ran away as fast as he could, wishing he could have Hot Wheels on his legs.

The girl's figure was like a swallow. She lightly lifted her toes and her figure was as graceful as a butterfly. In the blink of an eye, she landed steadily in front of the little man.

She stretched out her delicate hand, lifted the boy's ear, and laughed in anger: "Run, try running again!"

The girl's eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were like the ripples of a pool of water, her nose was delicate, and her lips were slightly pursed. Her black hair was like a waterfall, tied with a ribbon, and a few strands fell on her cheeks. Her light pink skirt danced in the wind, with the embroidery patterns looming, and the same color ribbon tied around her waist made her figure more graceful. Her embroidered shoes were exquisite, and every step seemed to bloom like a flower.

At this time, the sun was shining on the courtyard, and the light and shadow were intertwined on her body. The flowers around her were blooming, which seemed to add color to her angry expression.

"Ah, it hurts, it hurts, sister, let go, let go, my ears are going to fall off!"

The girl unconsciously loosened her grip, and the boy took the opportunity to quickly break free, stepped back two steps, clasped his hands together and begged for mercy:

"Sister, please let me go! I was wrong, I regret it!"

The girl is exactly what willow catkins look like when she grows up.

Five years have passed, and she is now fourteen years old, but she is no longer the little bean sprout she was back then.

She inherited Liu Donglai's height. She was already 1.6 meters tall before she reached the age of 15. Her appearance was a combination of both her parents' good looks. Even if she was not stunningly beautiful, she was still very good-looking.

Due to years of martial arts training, her figure became graceful.

"Oh, I don't believe you! Even Heizi doesn't believe what you say!" Liu Xu sneered.

Heizi, when she was ten years old, Mu Lingxuan gave her a hybrid offspring of a wolf and a dog. The hybrid was completely black and was not only loyal but also extremely brave.

Heizi, who was lying on the ground basking in the sun, heard his owner calling his name. He raised his head and woofed twice, as if to express his disbelief.

The county princess's mansion was completed in the autumn of the following year. Under the persuasion of Nanny Qu, Liu Xu's family moved up from the Liu family compound.

As for the Liu family compound, Dong'er's family, along with a few old servants and Liu Cheng and others, were guarding it.

Speaking of which, the Liu family has had a lot of good things happen to them in recent years.

Dong'er married Zheng Li four years ago. Although Zheng Li is a man of few words, he is very kind to Dong'er and her daughter, and treats Ruyi as his own daughter.

After marriage, the two had a son who is now two years old. Zheng Li not only did not neglect Ruyi, but even loved Liu Ruyi more than before.

Yan Niang recognized Granny Fang as her godmother, married Wu Sangui, and gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, who were two months younger than Dong'er's youngest son.

A year later, Zhou Qiang married the daughter of Liu Cheng's family and had a daughter who was only one year old.

The people who were bought back from the new hospital have all gotten married one after another, so they can be considered as internal employees.

As for He Feng and He Lei, they are still single, and Aunt Lin's hair has turned white with worry.

A year ago, Han Duoduo also married Chang Yifei. Her dowry was spread from Liujia Village to outside Yuyang Town, which was a real ten-mile red wedding.

Only then did Liu Xu truly understand how rich her master was. However, after Han Duoduo got married, Ye Miaoyin also moved back to Liujia Village.

She did not return to the Liu family, but bought Mr. Meng's yard and the surrounding land, and asked the Zhu family for help to build a house in the style of Jiangnan water town.

He also called back four old servants, presumably to take care of Doctor Meng until the end of his life.

Xu Ruolan was very reluctant to leave, but Liu Xu was very open-minded. After all, the place was not far away, so she would go there every afternoon to practice martial arts with her master, and by the way, she would pester Doctor Meng to learn some medical and poison techniques.

Well, not much, just a little bit of medical skills and a little bit of poison skills.

This is also the reason why Mr. Meng does not acknowledge her as his apprentice.

It's really... a rotten tree cannot be carved!

In addition, all five sons of the Liu family passed the examination for tongsheng two years ago, and Liu Chengjie and Liu Shuisheng passed the examination for xiucai last year.

In addition, in the past two years, Liujia Village produced a total of eight students, the youngest of whom, Liu Shuhan, was only ten years old.

Liu Chengjie's scholar rank was among the top three, and Shuisheng ranked a little behind but was still above average.

However, diligence can make up for lack of talent. Liu Xu believes that Brother Shuisheng will be admitted to the imperial examination sooner or later.

Liu Fukang and Liu Chengyi (Goudan) are still studying.

Because the two of them wanted to join the army, Liu Dong said that if they had passed the scholar level in literature and the juren level in martial arts, they would be allowed to join the barracks. Now the two of them are ready to go.

As for Tie Niu, oh, now he should be called Liu Chengtao, he showed amazing talent in business. After passing the examination for the title of Tongsheng, he discussed with Liu Xu and wanted to follow the caravan to gain some experience.

That’s right, caravan!

In recent years, Liujia Village has had its own caravan, most of whose members are retired veterans who have settled in Liujia Village or Liujia Village.

They may have some disabilities, but as long as they are not broken or blind, they can start work after passing the interview by Manager Zhou. As for those who are willing to farm, let them farm. For those who find it difficult to farm, Liu Xu will arrange suitable jobs for them.

In five years, the Liu and Chang families have accepted as many as five thousand retired veterans.

Even those who were sent back to their hometowns but could not survive there came here to seek refuge, just to live a good life.

Erya changed her name to Liu Xin and is now a member of the county embroidery house.

After Tao'er got married, she gave birth to a son, who is now a manager in the village embroidery workshop.

Liu Family School, because of its unique educational philosophy, first attracted curiosity, and with two consecutive years of good results, it attracted many students, parents, and even teachers.

In response to Shen Wenchang's request, Liu Xu opened a similar academy in Qinghe County in the name of the county lord: Mufeng Academy.

Of course, it is currently under construction.

Mu Lingxuan and Liu Donglai are still in the Northern Territory, but the Northern Territory today is no longer what it used to be.

Three years ago, with the insistence of the emperor's confidants such as Song Lao and Xu Mingli, Dongsheng finally opened up trade with Beihan, and the two countries signed a 30-year peace treaty.

With the widespread planting of corn, potatoes, and later pumpkin and yam seeds (rhizomes) that Xuan Er had people send, not only is the inland area prosperous, but the northern border is also gradually becoming lively.

Although the northern border is still not as good as the inland areas today, it is more than ten times better than before.

Although not every household has surplus food or new clothes every year, at least it is no longer like before, when most people were thin and skinny, and a family only had one pair of cotton trousers to get through the winter.

Nowadays, even if the family is poor, even during the lean period, we can still eat half full.

Many people who had originally moved out of the northern border have also moved back.

Xiao Yan also gradually took control of the political power in his hands. The young emperor already had his own dignity before he reached adulthood.

The entire Dongsheng is developing in a good direction.

The only thing that makes people unhappy is that since last year, Nanyue has frequently harassed the southern Xinjiang border.

…………

In the county lady's mansion, the servants were already accustomed to such scenes.

As the two little boys grew up, their personalities became more and more different.

The eldest son had the calmness of his elder brother at a young age. He was very self-disciplined and practiced martial arts, went to school, and studied medicine every day.

Because of Liu Chengxu's talent in medicine, Doctor Meng accepted him as his last disciple.

Therefore, Liu Chengxu not only had to go to school for half a day of classes every day, but also had to go to Doctor Meng in the afternoon to learn medical skills.

Well, real medical skills!

Ye Miaoyin also accepted disciples for her husband and accepted the two brothers as Han Yi's disciples, becoming Mu Lingxuan's junior brothers.

Having said that, compared to Liu Chengxu, Liu Chenghao is a typical naughty kid.

In addition to practicing martial arts seriously, he also does not do what he should do, and he is always doing things that he should not do or cannot do.

Scenes like today happen almost every other day.

In Liu Xu's words, Liu Chenghao was madly testing the brink of death every day.

Just today, while Liu Xu went to Ye Miaoyin's place, this naughty kid sneaked into Liu Xu's study again.

I drew a turtle on Liu Xu’s plan to enter the southern market, well... a turtle hatching eggs.

Liu Xu, who came back early, discovered the plan and in a hurry, knocked over the inkstone, not only ruining the plan, but also splashing ink all over himself.

"Haha, you always admit your mistakes actively, but you make the same mistake again next time!"

Liu Xu felt so angry when she thought about how the results of her hard work for two days and two nights were ruined by this naughty kid.

"If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'll take your last name!"

"You have the same last name as me..." Liu Chenghao muttered softly.

Catkins: A kind of plant. She was so mad at this guy.

Then……

"Oh... Mom, help me, my sister is murdering her own brother!"

"Oh, sister, I was wrong, I was so wrong!"

"Sister... wuwu... I won't dare to do it again..."
