Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

It was April on earth, and just after dawn, the morning light sprinkled on the martial arts training ground of the county lady's mansion like a veil.

Liu Xu put away his sword and stood there, with beads of sweat on his forehead, but his eyes were surprisingly bright, like twinkling stars.

"Miss's swordsmanship has improved again!" Qiao Yun smiled and handed over a soft sweat towel.

"Qiao Yun, do you have any letters from senior sister and third brother?" Liu Xu asked softly while wiping the sweat off his face, but worry could not be concealed in his eyes.

Senior sister and third brother went to the south after the Chinese New Year. On the surface, they went to inspect the business in the south, but in fact, they got a letter from Mu Lingxuan and secretly investigated the situation in southern Xinjiang.

Years ago, Mu Lingxuan's people in Southern Xinjiang sent a message saying that someone had seen Xiao Rui in and out of the military camp in Southern Xinjiang. What's worse, Nanyue seemed to be secretly stationing troops on the border.

The situation was urgent, but it was not easy to tell Xiao Yan directly. After all, no emperor would tolerate a minister having power that he was unaware of.

So, he had no choice but to ask Chang Yifei for help.

Han Duoduo felt that Chang Yifei only had some basic kung fu skills, so she couldn't trust Chang Yifei to go alone, so she followed him.

However, there has been no news from the couple for a month since their last letter.

You know, ever since they arrived in the south, there has been news coming back every three to five days.

Qiao Yun shook her head helplessly and hurriedly comforted her, "Don't worry, Miss. My cousin is very skilled in martial arts and the Viscount is smart and resourceful. I think he must have encountered some special circumstances and was delayed."

Because some parts of Chang Yifei's noodle-making machines and oil presses were used in military equipment, Xiao Yan conferred the title of Viscount Yi Yang on Chang Yifei.

"I hope so!" Liu Xu took a deep breath and secretly made up her mind that if there was no news at the end of this month, she would go south to find out what was going on.

No matter whether it was Chang Yifei or Han Duoduo, she would not allow anything to happen to them.

Especially since the master has only one precious daughter, my sister, there must not be any mistakes.

After returning to her room to wash up, Liu Xu came to Xu Ruolan's yard and had breakfast with her mother and brothers.

"Mom, I'm going to go to my third uncle's house in a while. I'll be the only one to take them to school today." After breakfast, Liu Xu said with a smile.

"Okay, go ahead!" Xu Ruolan nodded, then turned to look at her two sons and said gently, "Xu'er, keep an eye on your brother."

"Yes, mother!" Liu Chengxu nodded vigorously. The little adult looked so cute.

Liu Xu couldn't help but rub Liu Chengxu's head with her hand, and said with a smile: "Children should behave like children. If Yuandun is naughty, just beat him up."

Liu Chengxu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smoothed his sister's messed up hair, and said softly: "I know, sister!"

"Oh, is there any justice in this world? Am I my biological child? I must have been adopted!" Liu Chenghao wailed exaggeratedly.

Xu Ruolan covered her mouth and chuckled, but did not stop him. This little son was indeed very naughty.

Liu Xu rolled her eyes at him and said, "If it weren't for your face, if I hadn't seen you born with my own eyes, I would have thought you were picked up."

The two brothers looked exactly the same, but their personalities were completely different. Moreover, her parents were not the kind of people who would jump out of the box, so why was it that when it came to Liu Chenghao, it was like a genetic mutation.

"Mom, my son is leaving!" Liu Chengxu ignored his brother who was playing tricks on him and bowed respectfully to Xu Ruolan. Then he put on the schoolbag that Qinghe handed over and looked at Liu Chenghao calmly: "Second brother, I am leaving."

Liu Chenghao shuddered, quickly picked up the schoolbag that Doubao handed to him, and followed obediently.

Qinghe and Doubao were originally Xibao and Xiaofului. The two little guys changed their names after going to school for enlightenment at the age of three and returning home.

Xu Ruolan looked at the three children's backs as they walked away, and smiled at Aunt Lin, "I don't know what's going on, Hao isn't even afraid of Bao who always beats him, and Xu just gives him a look and the child becomes obedient."

Aunt Lin smiled and replied, "This shows that our second young master knows how to respect his elder brothers at such a young age."

After hearing this, Xu Ruolan's smile became even gentler.

Time seemed to be particularly kind to her. Five years later, she looked younger than before, and her temperament became more gentle and charming, like a delicate flower blooming in the depths of time.

Liu Xu sent the two brothers to school, reminded them again to study hard, and then turned and left.

Liu Chengxu walked into the classroom with his younger brother.

As soon as Liu Chenghao entered the classroom, he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, and started laughing and playing with his classmates.

Liu Chengxu shook his head helplessly, sat down in his seat and began to organize the books.

At this time, the teacher walked in and the classroom became quiet instantly.

The teacher of the introductory class was recruited later. His surname was Zhu and he was also a scholar.

Chang Yize has already gone to Class B, responsible for teaching older children who have some basic skills. As for Tang Zhiqiu, he is specifically tutoring his son and the three scholars and several students in the clan.

The reason why there are three of them is because Tang Shuo also passed the college entrance examination this year and became a scholar.

And Tang Zhiqiu is now a Tang Jinshi.

Two years ago, Tang Zhiqiu took part in the imperial examination. At that time, thirty people were selected in the second class, and Tang Zhiqiu ranked 18th.

Everyone thought that he would become an official in the court, but he only wanted to return to Liujia Village.

When Xiao Yan learned that this person was from Liujia Village, he summoned him privately and asked him the reason. Tang Zhiqiu replied that teaching and educating people could also serve the country, and he wanted to cultivate more talents for Dongsheng.

Xiao Yan was deeply touched at the time and agreed.

Now that Mufeng College is about to be completed, Liu Xu has planned to let Tang Zhiqiu be the dean.

In the classroom, Master Zhu began to lecture. Liu Chenghao could barely listen at first, but not long after, he began to lose focus and started drawing little people on paper.

Liu Chengxu saw this and frowned slightly. When the teacher turned around to write, he glared at Liu Chenghao fiercely. Liu Chenghao shuddered and sat up straight, pretending to listen carefully.

Only Liu Chenghao himself knew that the reason why he was afraid of his brother, apart from the blood suppression as his sister mentioned, the most important thing was that his brother could bully him and make him question his life.

For example, he would secretly sleep in class. When he returned home at night, his brother would give him some paralysis medicine and make him sit on the kang and watch him sleep all night.

Otherwise, they would tie him up and apply itching powder on him.

He didn't dare to complain because his brother said that if his mother and elder sister knew about it, his punishment would be doubled.

Oh... thinking of this, Liu Chenghao quickly concentrated.

Liu Chengxu, who was standing by, glanced at his brother out of the corner of his eye, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

On the other hand, Liu Xu, who left the school, did not go directly to Liu Changshun's house, but went to the specialty workshop next door first.

Nowadays, peppers are widely grown throughout Dongsheng. Thanks to Wu Sangui's many experiments, less spicy varieties have been grown.

Therefore, Liujia’s sauce products have added many new varieties and flavors.

As for the cured meat shop, Liu Xu made a hand-cranked fan.

When the weather gets hot, we switch to dried food. Although it cannot be preserved as long as cured meat, it can still be preserved for a month or so. It also has a unique taste and is loved by many people.

The village chief's eldest son was still guarding the door. After saying hello and going to the locker room to put on work clothes, Liu Xu took Qiao Yun to the sauce factory first.

In recent years, girls and boys of marriageable age in Liujia Village have been very popular, and a lot of people have been added to the population over the past few years.

In addition, with the arrival of some veterans, the workshop is now more orderly than before.

"County Lady, you are here!" The patrolling old soldier saw Liu Xu and stepped forward to salute.
