Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

Han Duoduo is an impatient person who acts rashly.

The next morning, he dragged Xing'er out of the house.

The two also made it clear that they would not be back at noon and would eat outside.

Liu Xu still asked Qiaoyu to follow them, and also sent Qi Dong to keep an eye on them in secret to prevent any accidents.

Because Liu Xu said it was inconvenient to move the child, Ruan Jinxiu finally stayed with full of apologies.

However, she went back home to pick up the unfinished embroidered screen.

Liu Xu asked Qi Xia to follow her to see if she needed any help. Ruan Jinxiu couldn't refuse, so she agreed.

When she came back, she not only brought the screen, but also some cloth and silk thread.

After asking, I learned that she felt that the money she had was not enough, and wanted to help Liu Xu and the others embroider some things as a reward. If it didn't work, she could sell it and use the money to pay for the consultation later.

Liu Xu naturally wouldn't charge any money, and even from what she took out, she only took half as a symbolic gesture.

"That's enough. It's fate that my maid ran into you just as we separated." Liu Xu said with a smile.

Everyone in the room who knew the inside story looked away silently: How could it not be "fate"? He had obviously gone there on purpose!

"I went there on purpose." Qi Xia touched his nose guiltily.

But Ruan Jinxiu didn't know all this! She was quite moved. In order to repay everyone's kindness, she promised to make a special round fan for each of them as a gift.

Liu Xu and the others declined verbally, but they were very happy in their hearts.

If what she embroidered was real Ruan embroidery, they would make a lot of money.

Let’s not talk about Liu Xu and the others’ situation in Jia County for now. In the capital, Xiao Yan granted Mu Lingxuan a long vacation because he was “injured”.

Upon learning that his fiancée had run away to southern Xinjiang, he immediately led his men out of the city and headed south without waiting for Yelu Hong and others to leave.

At the same time, Liu Donglai and others who were far away in Nanyue had already sharpened their knives and were heading towards the Nanyue Imperial City.

The Dongsheng army spent the New Year in Tongcheng, and only marched south after the officials who took over from the court arrived.

This time, they planned to attack the imperial city in one go. The night before they set out, Liu Donglai received a letter from Liu Xu.

When he learned that his daughter was coming to Southern Xinjiang, Uncle Liu was very happy.

As for his daughter's safety, he is not worried at all now.

Not only is his daughter better at martial arts than himself, she is also proficient in poison techniques that even Mr. Meng praises. The guards and secret guards around her are all very skilled.

Those who want to take advantage of her daughter are probably like an old man hanging himself - he is tired of living.

Besides, my daughter said that she brought a few girls here to broaden her horizons and look for business opportunities.

In Dongsheng, I think few people dare to attack her.

Along with the letter, there were also common medicines that Liu Xu prepared for her father, all of which she had freshly made herself.

Mr. Meng knew that she was good at making medicine, so he gave her a copy of his own medicine-making notes.

Of course, this is not the original version, it was copied for her by Xu Ge'er.

As for the original version, the old man said he would leave it to his last disciple Liu Chengxu.

The medicine in Liu Donglai's arms now is the result of Liu Xu's self-study according to the notes.

As for pulse diagnosis and acupuncture, Mr. Meng did teach a lot, but both of these require a lot of practice to be effective.

According to the old man's idea, he wants her to train in the military camp in the future. After all, there are more symptoms when there are more people, which is better than her training behind closed doors?

Liu Donglai opened the box and divided the things inside one by one. After keeping his own portion, he sent the rest to Hu Ming and others.

Early the next morning, the army was ready to go. Due to the previous war, although no one in the guards was killed, several were seriously injured.

Liu Donglai ordered them to stay and recover from their injuries before retiring and returning to Liujia Village.

These people are all his clansmen, and he will ask for merit for them. In this way, even if they do not have official titles, they will surely receive a lot of rewards.

Although these people were reluctant to leave, Liu Donglai was firm in his attitude.

He felt guilty for not being able to bring them back safely, and he could not let them risk their lives again. Otherwise, he would be ashamed to face the villagers.

The army set out and the people lined the streets to see them off.

With the propaganda of the soldiers from Yunzhou City and Wuzhou City, the more benevolent Dongsheng is, the more severely the Nanyue royal family is criticized.

After the Dongsheng army occupied Tongcheng, they did not cause much harm to the people. On the contrary, they helped repair the damaged houses and roads.

As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.

In just one month, the people of Tongcheng fell in love with these enthusiastic and upright soldiers.

When they learned that they were going to attack the Nanyue royal family, not only did they not object, they also prayed that they would be victorious and return soon.

This shows how unpopular the Nanyue royal family is now, which is why the people are so enthusiastic about the armies of other countries.

However, they are not money and cannot be liked by everyone.

Of course, there were also those "patriots" who secretly prayed in their hearts that the Nanyue soldiers could repel Dongsheng.

Unfortunately, these people will probably be disappointed in the end. Dongsheng brought a large amount of explosives and crossbows to break through the imperial city and capture Nanyue in one fell swoop.

Following Yang Rong's order, the army marched southward in a mighty manner.

There are many villages and towns along the way.

At first, the people were busy escaping, but gradually, they discovered that this army seemed different from the legend.

Wherever the army passed, not only did they not burn, kill, or loot, they even carefully avoided the crops they grew.

If it weren't for the footprints all over the ground and the Dongsheng Army flag with black characters on a red background, they would have thought that these people were from the Nanyue Army.

Even the Nanyue Army might not care about their fields when passing by.

Gradually, everyone stopped running and just did what they were supposed to do. Occasionally, they would gossip about where the Dongsheng army had fought to.

In Jia County, the little girl's condition improved after Liu Xu's treatment, but she still needed to wait another ten days or half a month before she recovered.

The information obtained by the Dark Guard Battalion has been delivered.

After Liu Xu and the others saw it, they all had expressions that showed "as expected".

The current head of the Nguyen family is indeed not a real member of the Nguyen family, or it should be said that he is not the real heir to the Nguyen family.

The head of the Ruan family favored his concubine over his wife. Under the instigation of his concubine, he drove his first wife and his legitimate son out of the house. He also passed the huge family to the eldest son born to the concubine. Ruan Jinxiu's father was the legitimate son who was driven out of the house.

The original Nguyen family did not focus on cultivating women's embroidery skills. Instead, the skills of the men in the Nguyen family were often better. Due to his father's indifference, Nguyen's father secretly practiced embroidery since he was a child. At a young age, he had mastered Nguyen embroidery to a certain extent. However, before he had the chance to show his father, he was kicked out of the Nguyen family with his mother.

Mrs. Ruan was the daughter-in-law chosen by the former head of the family, Ruan Jinxiu's great-grandfather. She was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. When she left, she burned the Ruan embroidery needlework that her father-in-law taught her. Since then, Ruan embroidery has lost its heritage and has only been passed down by the skills of the head of the Ruan family at that time.

Fearing that the head of the Ruan family would cause trouble, Mrs. Ruan took her son back to her hometown in Jia County and told her son not to reveal the fact that he knew Ruan embroidery, and she never let it go until her death. Therefore, Ruan's father opened a small cloth shop to live a simple life.

"I guess Madam Ruan's embroidery skills must have been taught by her father himself, right?" Xing'er said, supporting her chin.

Liu Xu shrugged: "Now that the person's identity has been confirmed, Sister Erya, how do you feel about your contact with her these days?"
