Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

I won't mention how excited Liu Xu and the others were. As the southbound ship slowly moved away, the ship from the capital also docked.

Because Qin Hua and Song Zhili were going to take the imperial examinations this year, Mr. Song and Mr. Qin took them to stay in the capital temporarily.

Only the other teachers and Yang Mofan and his son came back this time.

From a distance, Yang Mofan saw Xu Ruolan and others and couldn't help being a little surprised.

He glanced secretly at his father, and seeing that his father didn't notice him, he began to look for the person he wanted to see in the crowd.

I looked back and forth several times and found that Shuisheng and Liu Changshun were both there, but the person I loved was missing.

For some reason, Yang Mofan suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

But before he could think about it, the people on the shore had already left, and on this side, Yang Zheng was also calling him to get off the boat.

Trying hard to suppress the uneasiness in his heart, Yang Mofan returned to the team with a normal expression.

Most of the people on this ship were from Mufeng Academy. Some of them boarded the ship in the capital like them, while others came on the way.

It has to be said that the existence of Mufeng Academy has also added a lot of revenue to the shipping sector.

After all, there are many students and their families who come to Mufeng Academy from all over the country every year.

Many merchants have also found business opportunities in Qinghe County, purchasing goods from major workshops and then shipping them to all parts of the country for sale.

It can be said that today's Qinghe County, and even Yongshun Prefecture, have benefited a lot from this.

When Yang Mofan and others got off the boat, the people from Liujia Village had long disappeared.

The beginning of the semester is busy, and everyone becomes busy after returning to the college.

It was not until three days later that Yang Mofan found an opportunity to look for Xing'er.

However, when they arrived at Nanny Qu's courtyard, Ziyue told him that Xing'er and the others had gone on a study tour and would not be back for at least half a year.

No one knew what kind of mood Yang Mofan was in when he returned to his room.

Now that Qin Hua and Song Zhili are both gone, and Qi Yang is a reckless man, he doesn't know what to do for a moment.

When he went back this time, his parents finally relented and said that as long as he could pass the martial arts exam and rank among the top three next year, they would agree to let him marry Xing'er.

He believed that with his ability, he would have no problem getting into the top three.

Although he felt a little sorry to let Xing Er wait for him for another year, he believed that with the relationship between them, Xing Er would definitely agree.

But when he was full of joy and wanted to share this good news with her, he found out that she was no longer in the academy, or even in Qinghe County. He didn't even know where she had gone.

Yang Mofan suddenly remembered the scene he saw on the boat that day. Could it be that day... was the day they left?

So, he and she actually passed each other at that time?

If he remembered correctly, the ship seemed to be heading to southern Xinjiang!

Yang Mofan stood up suddenly and muttered to himself: "If I take a boat south now, I should be able to catch up with them, right?"

He had a premonition that if he didn't catch up, he would probably lose Xing'er.

Thinking of this, he immediately stood up and hurried to find his father.

Along the way, he even found a reason.

Now that his uncle is attacking Nanyue, he might be able to convince his father by saying that he wants to go to his uncle's military camp for training.

It’s a pity that although the imagination was beautiful, it was rejected by Yang Zheng.

The reason is simple. Unless under special circumstances, the men of the Yang family can only go to the battlefield after getting married.

Yang Mofan opened his mouth, not knowing how to fight for it.

His parents didn't like him marrying Xing'er in the first place. If he said that he went there just to pursue Xing'er, I'm afraid his father would not agree.

Rejected, Yang Mofan returned to his room with a dejected look on his face.

In the following days, he was somewhat absent-minded both in and out of class.

Yang Zheng soon realized something was wrong and went to ask in person, but was only told that he was feeling a little unwell.

After all, he was a general, so how could he not know that his son was lying?

Since his son was unwilling to say, he went to check it out himself.

That night, Yang Zheng called Yang Mofan to his room and said straight to the point: "Fan'er, you went to Southern Xinjiang to find Liu Xing'er, right?"

Yang Mofan was not surprised at all and nodded silently.

"Stupid!" Yang Zheng said in a low voice, "You are a son of a Duke's mansion. Instead of focusing on your studies and martial arts and working hard for your future, you are so distraught over a woman. How can you be so disrespectful!"

Yang Mofan bit his lip, looked at his father stubbornly, and said nothing.

Seeing his son like this, Yang Zheng's anger grew even stronger: "Do you know what impact your impulsive behavior will have on the family? Liu Xing'er is just an ordinary woman. Is it worth it for you to disregard the consequences?"

Yang Mofan finally couldn't help but retorted: "Dad, Xing'er is not an ordinary woman. She is unique in my heart. I don't want to lose her!"

Yang Zheng was so angry that he slammed the table: "You rebellious son, for the sake of love, you even disregarded the honor of the family and your responsibilities?"

A trace of pain flashed in Yang Mofan's eyes: "Dad, I have never forgotten the honor and responsibility of my family, but I don't want to miss Xing'er either."

Seeing his son so decadent and persistent, Yang Zheng's heart softened and his tone eased: "Fan'er, Dad knows your feelings for Liu Xing'er. But she is just going to study and will come back. You might as well take martial arts classes and prepare for next year's martial arts exam. Didn't your mother and I tell you that when you pass the martial arts exam and get top three, Dad will go and ask for marriage for you personally?"

Yang Mofan was silent for a long time, still a little worried: "But Dad, Xing'er doesn't know that you have agreed to our marriage. Will she..."

Yang Zheng sighed: "Dad understands your thoughts, but you have to understand that only when you are strong, you will be able to protect the people you want to protect. If Liu Xing'er is sincere to you, she will be willing to wait for the day when you become successful."

Yang Mofan raised his head, a glimmer of hope rekindled in his eyes: "Dad, is it true? What if she..."

"No chance of that happening!" Yang Zheng interrupted him, "Don't forget, besides being my son, you are also His Majesty's cousin..."

"Dad, Xing'er doesn't care about my identity!" Yang Mofan interrupted his father.

He knew that Liu Xing'er didn't care about his identity at all.

"Okay, even if she doesn't value your identity, shouldn't you believe in the relationship between you two? If you're worried, why don't you write a letter and I'll send it to your uncle for you? If they really go to Southern Xinjiang, can you ask your uncle to pass it to her?"

Yang Mofan was delighted when he heard this and nodded immediately, "Okay, I'll go back and write it right away!"

He was about to bow and leave, but stopped after thinking for a moment and promised solemnly: "Dad, don't worry, I will work hard and live up to the expectations of our family and you." Yang Zheng patted his son on the shoulder: "That's the right thing to do. Prepare well for the martial arts exam and don't let Dad down."

However, Yang Mofan would never have thought that it was precisely because of his lack of persistence that his relationship with Liu Xing'er would ultimately end in vain.
