Beautiful Peasant Girl: The Young Marquis's Beloved

On the way back, Xu Ruolan would occasionally meet a few villagers. She would greet them with a smile, and if she met someone she had interacted with before, she would chat with them for a few minutes.

Because Liu Xu led everyone to grow mushrooms, although everyone was a little envious and even jealous that Xu Ruolan now had maids and servants serving her, their faces were still full of smiles.

Widow Liu was standing at the gate of her own courtyard. When she saw Xu Ruolan leaving with her maid, she was so angry that she almost broke her teeth.

Xu Ruolan was already beautiful. After she gave birth to two children, Liu Xu took good care of her. Later, the family had maids and servants, and she was basically not allowed to do any work except taking care of the children. Now she looks even more graceful and charming than when she first married into the Liu family. In addition, she was originally from a wealthy family, so every move she made was full of grace.

Widow Liu stared at Xu Ruolan's back, jealousy burning in her eyes, but when she lowered her head and saw her coarse clothes and her rough, cracked hands, the inferiority and bitterness in her heart suddenly surged up. Her face became very ugly, her features twisted together, and she muttered: "Why can she live such a good life, but I have to suffer here." The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Finally, she stomped her feet hard, turned back to the house, and slammed the door.

Xu Ruolan and her daughter naturally didn't know about this episode, but even if they knew, they wouldn't care. After all, the two families had no connection, and the only person they had was a member of the same clan, who was within the five degrees of mourning.

Xu Ruolan went home and told her daughter about what happened. Liu Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she heard it. She just thought, "Never mind, just take better care of her in the future if there is anything."

In the evening, Liu Changshun came over. As Liu Xu had expected, Manager Chang was very excited after tasting the mushrooms. He immediately ordered a daily quantity of 100 kilograms and asked the people who came to collect the mushrooms every day to take them back.

Liu Xu estimated that the number would increase later, so she asked her uncle to order some more box covers.

After seeing off Liu Changshun, Liu Xu told her mother about going to the county town. They had already agreed to go a few days ago, but because Liu Xu was kidnapped, they were delayed. Xu Ruolan did not stop them, but only told her to bring Huanxi, Qiaoyu and the two brothers He Feng with her.

As for the other people bought that day, Liu Fuan and his wife were arranged to go to the old house yesterday to take care of Liu Dashan and his wife. Zi Ling and Zi Mo naturally followed Xu Ruolan. Liu Ji and Liu Ping were arranged to take care of the mushroom house in the backyard and take care of the family guards. Xiao Fu Rui naturally followed his mother. Judging from Xu Ruolan's intention, she should be planning to train him and Lai Bao to be servants for the two children.

Because the family had added a lot of land, Liu Ming, who was originally in charge of guarding, was assigned to be in charge of the farmland. Worried that he didn't know how to do farming, they specially asked Wu Sangui to go with him. Now the guarding was handed over to Zheng Li.

Poor little Qiaoyun, she was left behind again because of her young age. After knowing this, Qiaoyun became more determined to practice good kung fu.

The next morning, Liu Xu took the four people away.

After seeing Mu Lingxuan off, Chang Yifei stayed in Qinghe County. One reason was to reorganize the properties purchased from the Hu family, and the other was to keep an eye on the decoration of Zhenxiu Pavilion.

When Liu Xu and the others arrived, it was almost 9:00 p.m. Chang Yifei had been at the Zhenxiu Pavilion during the day for the past two days. After hearing Qingfeng's report, he quickly put down what he was doing and went downstairs.

So as soon as Liu Xu entered the door, she saw Young Master Chang San coming towards her.

"Hey, Third Brother Chang, you are such a busy man, why are you here so early?" Liu Xu asked in surprise. She knew that the Chang family had a mansion in Qinghe County.

"Hmph, then you have to come over and keep an eye on it. If you're not satisfied with something, won't you blame me?" Chang Yifei rolled his eyes at her.

The workers in the store were already feeling strange about the little girl who suddenly came in, and when they saw the boss personally greet her, they became even more curious.

However, no one paid any attention to it. Qingfeng had already notified people to drive the carriage to the backyard, and Chang Yifei took his people directly to the third floor.

This was originally an inn. Chang Yifei had asked Liu Xu before whether she wanted to live in his house or somewhere else. Liu Xu said she wanted to live here, so he notified them in advance to renovate the third floor first.

When the group came up, Liu Xu saw that this floor had been converted into three suites and three offices according to her request.

The suites were naturally given to her, Mu Lingxuan and Chang Yifei respectively. In addition to the master bedroom and living room, there were also two small rooms reserved for the attendants.

Because they were going to stay for a few days, Liu Xu and her friends took some luggage and went to their own room first.

After opening the door, Liu Xu was a little surprised by the decoration inside. She couldn't help but glance at Chang Yifei who followed her, and a touch of emotion flashed in her eyes.

Chang Yifei was naturally happy to see it, and said cheerfully: "How is it, Sister Xu'er, I decorated it beautifully for you. I specially sent someone to deliver these pink gauze curtains from the capital city. Are you happy?"

The reason why pink was chosen is because Chang Yifei had seen Liu Xu wearing a pink dress before and thought it looked very beautiful and suitable for this girl.

On one side of the living room, there is a beechwood display stand. Although it is not a precious wood, it has a warm texture. The display stand is divided into four layers, and the edges of each layer are carefully carved with delicate cloud patterns, with smooth and beautiful lines.

There are several exquisite vases on the shelf. One is a blue and white porcelain vase with a delicate orchid painted on the bottle body. The color is so quiet that you can almost smell the fragrance of the orchid. There is also a pastel vase with lifelike flower and bird patterns on it. The colors are bright but not tacky.

In addition, there are several exquisite ornaments and a few books placed in an orderly manner.

The whole living room looks elegant and warm, with both the bookish atmosphere of literati and the romantic atmosphere of a girl's boudoir.

"Thank you, Brother Chang San, I like it very much!" Liu Xu said with a smile.

"Hehe, I knew you would like it. Let's go and see your bedroom!" Chang Yifei looked like he was waiting for praise.

Liu Xu nodded happily and walked straight to her bedroom.

But she never expected that after opening the door, the decoration inside made her mouth twitch.

Wow, wow, the veil, quilt cover, bed sheet, tablecloth... all pink in sight. Fortunately, the carpet is white and there are some green plants, otherwise she feels that her eyes will not be able to bear it if she looks at it for too long. Liu Xu was thinking, if there is no such thing as pink paint in this era, would this guy paint the walls, tables, chairs, benches, beds, etc. pink? This is definitely what people in the past life called a princess' room!

She couldn't help but look back at Chang Yifei, with some speechlessness in her eyes.

Unfortunately, this guy didn't understand and kept asking for credit: "How about it, are you surprised?"

He had no biological sister, nor any half-sister. Now that he had acknowledged Liu Xu as his sister, he was naturally very happy and wanted to give her everything good.

Liu Xu took a deep breath, turned around, and said helplessly: "Brother Chang, don't you think this...isn't this too pink?"

The smile on Chang Yifei's face froze instantly, and he scratched his head in confusion: "Ah? Last time on your birthday, I saw that you liked pink, didn't you?"

Liu Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I like pink, but it doesn't have to be this pink, right? "

Chang Yifei suddenly realized what was going on and said quickly, "Then I'll have someone rearrange it right away."

Liu Xu waved her hands quickly: "Forget it, forget it, let's just leave it like this for now. It's not that I don't like it, I'm just not used to it. I'll get used to it once I get used to it."

Chang Yifei looked at her suspiciously, and seeing that she really didn't look unhappy, he said, "Then you can use it first. If you want to change it later, just tell me or Qingfeng."

Liu Xu nodded, and He Feng and the others put their luggage in their rooms. They then went to look at the three office rooms.

One was for the two of them, and Chang Yifei had decorated it in a very grand manner. Another was for the future chief shopkeeper and accountant, which was divided into several small rooms. There was also a large room, which was a copy of the meeting room in the previous life made by Liu Xu. It was quite large and could accommodate at least 20 to 30 people, which should be enough for the early stage.

The front yard was half renovated, and Chang Yifei took her to see the backyard. Liu Xu thought the backyard of Zuiyunxuan in the county town was big enough, but she didn't expect this backyard to be even bigger. Even if the kitchen area was separated, it was still as big as the entire backyard of Zuiyunxuan. Liu Xu asked to modify the original two guest houses, intending to use them for future gatherings of wealthy families.

Because we planned to set up a courtyard barbecue, we had already brought in a lot of stones, flowers, plants and trees. The backyard looked a bit messy.

After a quick look, he went back to the third floor.

"Brother Chang, gather everyone together and start in the afternoon. But it may not be possible here, so we have to borrow your house." Liu Xu got straight to the point as soon as she sat down.

"No problem, let's go to Zuiyunxuan for dinner later. I'll leave someone to watch over here. But, do you want to move over there? Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to run back and forth every day." Chang Yifei asked.

"That's not necessary. It's good to live here. There are carriages and it's fast." Liu Xu shook her head gently and refused. The main reason was that she felt a little uncomfortable living in someone else's house. Zhenxiu Pavilion was her own place, and she felt at ease living there.

Chang Yifei shrugged: "It's up to you. Hehe, then I'll live here too for a few days, and we can chat when we have time." He was mainly worried that it was not safe for a little girl like her to live here.

Liu Xu didn't persuade them any further, and the two discussed some details. It was almost noon when they went to Zuiyunxuan.

Shopkeeper Wu received the news early in the morning and prepared two tables of food in the private room upstairs, one of which was naturally for He Feng and Qingfeng and the others.

Seeing a group of people coming, he welcomed them upstairs with a smile on his face: "Young Master, Little Master, the food is ready, you can eat first. If there is anything, please send someone downstairs to inform me."

"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wu!" Liu Xu said with a smile.

"It's not hard, it's not hard, thank you for being so polite, little boss!" Shopkeeper Wu also liked this little girl who smiled whenever she saw anyone.

"Uncle Wu, go and do your work. I'll have someone call you if there's anything!" Chang Yifei nodded, looking like a gentleman.

But when Shopkeeper Wu left, this guy immediately showed his true colors, "Come on, Sister Xuer, hurry up and eat. I've been busy all morning and I'm hungry!"

Qingfeng and the others had already gotten used to it. There was a waiter outside the door, and their meals were next door. Liu Xu was not used to having someone watching her while she ate, so they were asked to go eat as well. He Feng and the others knew their young lady's temperament, so they left as they were told. Qingfeng glanced at his master, and when he saw Chang Yifei nod slightly, he followed him out.

The two of them did not follow the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. While eating, they discussed which dish tasted better and which dish was lacking something.

As a result, the meal took nearly half an hour. After the meal, Chang Yifei called Shopkeeper Wu up and told him about the areas that needed improvement that they had discussed. Shopkeeper Wu was so happy that his eyes narrowed with smiles.

The two of them did not stay long and immediately took their people to Chang Yifei's residence in Qinghe County.
