Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

But who is Liu Xu? She didn’t feel embarrassed for more than ten seconds, and looked at Mu Lingxuan excitedly: "Brother Huaijin, is it okay?"

Seeing her like this, Mu Lingxuan couldn't help but laugh: "Sure, why not? I'll write a letter and ask someone to send some over. Don't talk about whether to buy or not. In previous years, we harvested a lot of fruits. Except for keeping some for seeds, the rest were thrown away."

Liu Xu looked regretful after hearing this, "What a waste, what a waste!" She immediately pulled Mu Lingxuan over and ran to the study, "Come on, go, go, write the letter now. Send it over earlier so that we can plant it earlier!"

Mu Lingxuan was left in tears by her anxious look.

"Brother Huaijin, you are really wasting this. Do you know that if we had this, the soldiers in the north wouldn't be afraid of the cold anymore?"

Mu Lingxuan was writing a letter when he heard Liu Xu's words. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Liu Xu in surprise.

"Sister Xuer, what did you just say?"

Liu Xu blinked and was stunned for a moment before she responded: "I said that since you have peppers, the soldiers won't be afraid of the cold! Eating spicy food in winter will warm your body!"

Now it was Mu Lingxuan's turn to be overjoyed. He quickly finished writing the letter, blew the ink dry, and shouted to the outside: "Xuan Yi!"

In the blink of an eye, Xuan Yi appeared in the study. "Master!"

"Send someone to deliver this letter back to the Marquis' Mansion immediately, and have someone deliver the things as fast as possible!" Mu Lingxuan ordered.

"Yes, I'll go there right away!" Although Xuan Yi was a little confused, he didn't ask any more questions.

After Xuan Yi left, Mu Lingxuan asked excitedly, "Sister Xu'er, how long will it take to grow the peppers? And what is the yield? Can you sell some to me when the time comes?"

Liu Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard his series of questions. "Brother Huaijin, you are more anxious than I am. Even if we have seeds now, it will take at least two or three months from seedling to maturity. We can only know the yield after the first batch is planted. And we don't even know how many seeds there are. It's useless for you to ask me now!"

Mu Lingxuan also reacted and looked a little embarrassed.

Liu Xu walked up to him and patted his arm (she wanted to pat his shoulder, but she was too short) and said generously: "Don't worry, we can keep some for the soup pot, and you can take the rest back. I will teach you how to make hot and sour soup. Although it may not be much, it's better than nothing!"

Hehe, by then she will dig out all the pepper seeds and plant them on her own dry land. Oh, and there is also the Hu family’s farm, who knows how much there is. Hahaha, it will be another huge income!

With chili peppers, she can also make chili sauce, ah, and red tofu, and all kinds of chili dishes... She has already seen countless gold ingots flying towards her, hahahaha, just thinking about it makes her happy!

Mu Lingxuan couldn't help laughing as he looked at the little girl in front of him who didn't know what she was thinking with her eyes narrowed. If he guessed correctly, she must be planning how to make money with chili peppers.

In the past two days, he finally understood a little bit. This girl is just a little money-grubber. But fortunately, although she is money-grubber, she also has principles.

Just as Mu Lingxuan was considering whether to wake her up, Qiao Yun came in. She bowed to Mu Lingxuan first and then said to Liu Xu, "Miss, Uncle He has returned from buying people, and Madam asked you to go and take a look."

Liu Xu came back to her senses after hearing what was said, perhaps remembering her own misbehavior just now, and smiled awkwardly at Mu Lingxuan, "Brother Huai Jin, do you want to read here for a while? I'll go out and take a look first?" Since they moved in, Liu Xu had people buy some books for her so that the study would not be empty.

"Well, you're busy!" Mu Lingxuan picked up a book and sat down. Seeing this, Liu Xu took Qiao Yun out.

In the yard, Uncle He stood there with the newly bought person.

Xu Ruolan sat on a chair, while Yue Niang and Aunt Lin each held a child.

According to Uncle He's report, he bought two families this time, a total of eight people. Like Liu Ming and the others, they were sold out because of the host family's troubles, but they were not from the same place.

The family was an old couple, both about fifty years old, with their son, daughter-in-law and a thirteen-year-old girl. The old couple were honest and well-behaved people, so they could be arranged to live in the old house; their son was a guard, and their daughter-in-law was said to be an embroiderer in the mansion. What surprised Liu Xu the most was that the girl was said to have been with the young lady of the master's house before, and had learned some boxing and kicking.

The other family was a young couple with a four-year-old son. I heard they were domestic servants, the man served the young master, and the woman was a maidservant for the mistress.

Xu Ruolan gave new names to the two families. The old man's family was named Liu Fuan, Liu Wangshi, Liu Ji, and Ziling. The girl was named Qiao Yu by Liu Xu. The young couple's family was named Liu Ping and Zimo. As for their youngest son, only his surname was changed to Liu Furui.

The mother and daughter gave a few more lectures and then asked Uncle He and Aunt Lin to stay and teach the rules separately.

If nothing unexpected happens, Ziling and Zimo will follow Xu Ruolan in the future, and Huanxi will be able to return to Liuxu. Together with Qiaoyu, Liuxu will have three little girls.

Qiao Yun was a little anxious. She was the youngest and the most useless of the three. She was worried that Liu Xu would dislike her in the future. She bit her lip and said to Liu Xu:

"Miss, I have recently started to learn martial arts with my father. When you go out in the future, Qiao Yun will be able to protect you."

That's right, since this girl made up her mind that day, she has been pestering her father to learn martial arts at night. After Liu Ming asked her the reason, he agreed to her request. Although she usually follows Liu Xu around, she actually gets up very early every day to do horse stance, especially after Liu Xu was kidnapped, she actually added half an hour to herself.

"Hey, when did you start learning martial arts? Why didn't you tell me?" Sure enough, Liu Xu looked confused.

"Just, just a few days ago, my father asked me to lay a good foundation first. Miss, I will work hard. If you meet bad guys in the future, Qiao Yun will help you drive them away!" The little girl said seriously.

Liu Xu touched his chin: Hiss, how about I learn it too?

When she thought about how she had to be carried on someone's back even for a short distance, she gritted her teeth.

No, her maid is working so hard, how can she hold them back? That is, who should she learn from? Don’t those TV shows say that martial arts require a natural aptitude? I wonder if she has it? And she saw that day that He Feng and Mu Lingxuan leaped a long way. Is this the legendary Qinggong? If she also learns it...

Liu Xu began to imagine that she would be like a female knight in a certain family, walking on the snow without leaving any trace, doing justice, robbing the rich and helping the poor...

Qiao Yun looked at her young lady with a YY look on her face and couldn't help but shout out, "Miss, Miss?"

"Ah? Uh, it's nothing, I was just thinking about something!" Liu Xu touched the tip of his nose awkwardly.

Oh, right, Mu Lingxuan! Liu Xu's eyes lit up. She saw that day that he and the leader of Langya Village were able to fight to a draw!

Then Qiao Yun saw her young lady running to the study in a hurry, and she quickly followed her.

"Brother Huaijin, hey, are you tired of reading? Do you want to take a break?" Mu Lingxuan looked at Liu Xu in front of him with a flattering smile and raised his eyebrows, a little confused.

"Not tired, but is there something wrong?"

"Hehe, Brother Huai Jin, um... do you think I have a unique bone structure and excellent physical fitness?" Liu Xu asked, blinking her big, Caroline eyes.

Mu Lingxuan's eyebrows twitched when he heard this. This girl just went out to see a servant, why did she act like she was upset?

"speak nicely!"

"That is...that...Brother Huaijin, can you teach me martial arts?" Liu Xu glanced at him secretly and said awkwardly.

"You want to learn martial arts?" Mu Lingxuan was a little surprised. You know, although the people of Dongsheng are relatively open-minded, it is extremely rare for women to practice martial arts.

Liu Xu nodded firmly and said, "Yes, I want to learn! I don't want to encounter any problems in the future where I can't even escape. Not only can I not help, but I can only be a burden."

Mu Lingxuan looked at her serious look, and his heart was moved. After a moment of silence, he said, "Practicing martial arts is not an easy thing. It requires a lot of hardship. Can you persist?"

Liu Xu answered without hesitation: "Yes! Brother Huaijin, I can definitely persevere!"

Mu Lingxuan smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll find someone to teach you."

Liu Xu was puzzled: "Can't you teach me?" She came to him specifically because she saw that he was so good at kung fu.

Mu Lingxuan smiled and shook his head: "Girl, have you forgotten that I will be leaving the day after tomorrow at the latest? Also, the Kung Fu I learn is not suitable for women. I will find you a master who is suitable for you later!"

Liu Xu jumped up excitedly: "Really? That's great! Thank you, Brother Huaijin!"

Seeing her so happy, Mu Lingxuan also smiled. That smile was like the melting of snow-capped mountains, the sudden appearance of warm sunshine, or the spring breeze blowing across the frozen lake. Every curve was filled with intoxicating warmth, making people involuntarily sink into it.

Liu Xu was stunned again, but after a moment she came back to her senses and said with a smile, "Brother Huaijin, your smile is so lethal. I think if I see it a few more times, I can eat an extra bowl of rice at night."

But I was complaining in my heart, Oh my God, compared to this one, those little puppies in my previous life were simply crushed into dust in an instant. It even made my girlish heart melt.

Mu Lingxuan knocked her head helplessly: "You little girl, you are just talking nonsense."

Liu Xu stuck out her tongue and said, "I am telling the truth, Brother Huaijin, please smile more in the future, otherwise it will be such a waste!"

Mu Lingxuan pretended to be angry: "Alright, if you make fun of me again, I won't find you a master!"

Liu Xu quickly straightened her attitude: "How can that be possible, Brother Huaijin, a man should stick to his word."

Mu Lingxuan himself didn't realize that after coming to the Liu family this time, he had become a lot softer.

At the hour of You, Yao Lie and his group returned. There were more than 20 of them, and none of them came empty-handed. Looking at the pile of prey, Liu Xu felt that it was fortunate that they would leave the next day or the day after tomorrow, otherwise the wild animals in the Beilinpo area would have been cleared out by them.

They drank some water and then carried their game to the river with great enthusiasm. The villagers were envious, but they were not good enough and could only watch with envy.

After dinner, everyone cleaned up and went to bed early. Before going to bed, Liu Xu went to ask Xu Ruolan about the winter clothes. She learned that Uncle He had bought them all today, and Aunt Lin and the others had also taken the time to prepare the silver and mushrooms. Only then did she go to bed with peace of mind.
