Although a betrothal does not require a grand banquet, it is customary to invite someone of prestige from the family or clan. Just like when Liu Qingxi was betrothed, despite having no parents, she had Elder Ying as her master.
Even though Liu Qingxi is young and not of high seniority, she holds considerable respect in Ten Li Pu.
People genuinely admire her, which led to this situation.
As for the betrothed party, Liu Qinglian, although she usually presents herself strongly due to the absence of male children in her family, naturally feels shy when it comes to matters of marriage.
After secretly listening for a while, she slipped out through the back door and went to Liu Qingxi's house next door.
She was already familiar with the layout of Liu Qingxi's home. After asking a servant, she learned that Liu Qingxi was in the study and went directly there.
Liu Qingxi was sitting at her desk deep in thought when she heard a knock on the door from outside. "Come in!"
Looking up, she was surprised to see the subject of their earlier discussion: "Qinglian, why aren't you at home? Did you come to find me?"
"Sister, please don't tease me!" Mentioning the person she liked and the ongoing marriage discussions made Liu Qinglian blush.
Liu Qingxi was just joking around. After discussing matters sincerely with Yang Yichen, she estimated that it wouldn't be long before they left for the capital.
There were many things that needed to be addressed beforehand: "Zhang Quanyong is good; he is responsible and has been doing well in town. I will talk to the Village Chief about nurturing those who are promising. Given their family's decent conditions, you should be able to support Fifth Uncle and Aunt Five in the future."
After all, marriage is not just a matter between two individuals; it is also an important choice for both families.
Thus, they must consider Liu Laowu and Zhao's future retirement issues. Liu Qinglian understood that Liu Qingxi's reminders were correct; this was a reality she had to face and one she would never evade.
"By the way, I will be going on a long trip soon. What I've taught you so far is just this; these are the basics. In the future, you and Qingju should discuss and communicate more. While I'm away, please keep an eye on the house we are building with the Village Chief."
"What?" Liu Qingxi found this sudden decision shocking; her sister had always been a towering figure in her eyes.
Suddenly leaving left them feeling at a loss.
"Don't be afraid. Over these years, you and Qingju have learned very well. If I leave, there’s still the Village Chief to rely on. My main purpose this time is to assess conditions outside. You and Qingju will have more people with you; we need to go further than just Ten Li Pu."
Liu Qingxi's words were not mere jokes but rather planned goals that needed to be achieved step by step.
Such grand ambitions did not seem like empty words to Liu Qinglian; instead, they felt completely normal, as if it were a natural progression.
"Sister, I'm looking forward to going further with you," the girl nodded heavily, determined.
At this moment, she firmly believed that everything Liu Qingxi said could be realized; she had never doubted it.
Liu Qingxi smiled and said, "Don't worry. As long as we work together, there is nothing we can't accomplish. We will even build houses across the Western Moon Kingdom."
At this very moment, no one knew that in a seemingly isolated mountain village, a seemingly fragile girl would leave a significant mark in the Western Moon Kingdom and even in the annals of history.
After hiding her talents and nurturing her abilities, she would surely soar to great heights.
In the time that followed, Liu Qingxi not only shared her plans with Zhang Wuliang and others: "Village Chief, you don't need to be nervous. Look at the situation now; these matters are mostly under your management. So even if I'm not here, you can handle things well."
Zhang Wuliang had experienced quite a bit and accepted this news quickly. He also had some confidence in his abilities: "Alright, you can go with peace of mind. I will take care of everything. If there are any problems I can't solve, I'll write to you."
"Good, then I can rest easy. And Uncle Ji, I’m counting on you."
Ji Zhong did not expect that shortly after joining, Liu Qingxi would be leaving and entrusting such important matters to him. This was a testament to her complete trust in him.
Liu Qingxi's trust warmed his heart; he felt that if he did not achieve something significant, he would let down her expectations.
" Miss Liu, don't worry. I, Ji Zhong, guarantee that I will do my utmost." People like him valued promises; once made, they would certainly be fulfilled.
Liu Qingxi did not realize that her unintentional act had won over someone's heart.
"Yes, I believe in you!" Liu Qingxi's gaze was firm. "Only you few know about this for now. I don't plan to tell everyone until I'm about to leave."
After all, this was still in the planning stage; the exact departure date had not been determined yet. She just wanted to give them a heads-up so they could mentally prepare.
She was worried that if news from Yang Yichen came too suddenly, they might not have enough time to prepare.
Present were the core members of the Construction Team, including Zhang Sanyou and others. Each of them managed their own teams while Zhang Wuliang was responsible for overall planning.
Upon hearing this news, even though they accepted it, their hearts were filled with reluctance.
After all these years, there has developed a bond with Liu Qingxi. Although they are merely subordinates, due to the age and seniority differences, those close to her treat her like a younger generation to be cared for.
“Qingxi, you’re going to such a distant place all alone; you must take care of yourself,” Zhang Wuliang said, his eyes glistening with tears as he earnestly advised her.
The capital city? To them, it seemed like a faraway place, something unattainable. They never expected that Liu Qingxi would really embark on such a journey: “Once you get there, without the big Kid around, you must take extra care of yourself.”
After all, Biqi Town is a place where Liu Qingxi has established her presence. If anything happens here, even though they lack power, at least there are the villagers who can provide some support.
Traveling far away is different. For these locals who were born and raised here, being able to visit the city a few times in their lifetime is already quite remarkable; it’s simply impossible for them to travel thousands of miles.
“Yes, yes, write to us often.”
“You leading our big Kid is what we have today,” Zhang Sanyou said, his voice choked with emotion.
“Alright, uncles and brothers, don’t think too much. I’m not leaving forever, and I’m not leaving right now; there’s no need for this,” Liu Qingxi said as she looked at the familiar faces and the worried eyes around her.
Her heart felt both bitter and sweet; their genuine concern touched her deeply.
Meanwhile, at the Linyi County Yamen,
News of the impending imperial decree arrived early in the morning by swift horse riders. The officials of Linyi County, led by Yang Yichen, stood ready for what was to come.
