"Auntie, I brought you Qingming cakes, they're still warm. Try some," she added.
At this time, Liu the widow also saw in Yang Ruqing's other hand a bowl that she was holding.
“I haven't tasted the flavors of home for several months. I miss it so much!” Liu Widow said, turning her head towards the west room, about to call out to Mu Zichuan.
The door of Xi's house creaked open, and Mu Zi Chuan came out.
"Qing'er, you're here" He greeted Yang Ruqing with a smile, his eyes filled with joy.
Yang Ruqing was taken aback. It turned out he was home
At this moment, as everyone in the room saw Mu Zi Chuan come out, they all politely withdrew one after another. Soon, only Mu Zi Chuan and his mother, along with Yang Ruo Qing, remained in the room.

Liu, the widow, brought out chopsticks. She and her son each took a bite of Qingming cake and nodded in satisfaction.
"Ching'er, who did this" asked Widow Liu.
Yang Ruqing smiled: "It was made by my Aunt Luo."
Mrs. Liu said, “Your craftsmanship is truly excellent. After eating so many delicacies in the capital city, I realize that at the end of the day, the Qingming cakes from our Changping Village are the most delicious!”
Mu Zi Chuan also nodded, agreeing with his mother's words: "This is exactly the taste I've been dreaming of."
Yang Ruoqing smiled: "A bowl of Qingming cake, you praise it like this, hehe, I will go back and tell my grandma, she will definitely be happy."
Mu Zi Chuan said, "It's not flattery, it's what I truly feel."
Yang Ruqing nodded.
Liu the widow said, “Since it’s been so long, let’s chat first. I’ll go to the kitchen and put away this bowl of Qingming cake.”
"Well, Auntie, you go busy first. I just wanted to ask Brother Zichuan about some things regarding the capital." Yang Ruohong said.
After Liu left, only Yang Ruqing and Mu Zichuan remained in the main hall.
Mu Zichuan said, "Don't stand there, come sit down and let's talk slowly."
Yang Ruqing nodded and followed him to the table behind and sat down.

"Today, my mother and I returned home and saw that the windows were clean and bright. My mother praised you greatly." Mu Zichuan said.
"While we were away, thank you so much for taking care of our house. Coming back to clean tables, chairs, and beds is truly heartwarming." He added.
Yang Ruqing smiled and said, “I’m your goddaughter, so doing this is nothing.”
“Besides, you gave me the keys, which shows great trust in me. I can't let you down.” she said.
When Liu the widow left, no one was entrusted with the keys to this house, so they were given to Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruqing would come over to clean once every half month, opening the doors and windows for a while to ventilate.
And just a few days before Liu the widow and Mu Ziquan returned, Yang Ruqing came again to clean.
"Qing'er, have some tea. This was freshly boiled by my mother earlier," Mu Zi Chuan said, handing her a bowl of tea.
Yang Ruqing leaned forward, took the teacup, and sipped it.
"The way back was smooth, wasn't it" she asked.
Mu Zichuan said, "Well, smooth sailing."
"Qing'er, are you here to inquire about your Haitangxuan from me" he asked.
Yang Ruqing curled her lips, "Indeed, this old madame of mine hasn't been to the capital for several months. I wonder how my brothel, located at the foot of the emperor's throne, is doing."
Upon hearing her teasing, Mu Zichuan was stunned for a moment, then chuckled helplessly.
"Although I rarely visit Haitangxuan, I have always been paying attention to it."
“His Royal Highness, the Second Prince, has also been looking after things. The business at Haitangxuan is flourishing and going smoothly. Huajie is good at managing and navigating, and Yunniang assists her from the side.”
"I heard they bought a new batch of girls, picking out the best ones to train. It's fresh blood for the Haitang Pavilion," he said.
Yang Ruoqing smiled and listened attentively.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Well done, she clapped her hands and said, "Hmm, Huajie and Yun'er are indeed quite good. I haven't misjudged them."
"Qing'er, your eyesight has always been precise," Mu Zichuan praised.
"But there's something you seem to have overlooked," he said.
"Huh What's up Tell me." she said.
Mu Zichuan pondered for a moment, looking into her eyes, his gaze growing heated.
"You chose a husband, but not me. What do you think Don't you think you made a mistake" he asked.
Yang Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then let out a ‘poof’ and laughed.
“It’s been a few months, you’ve become funnier.”
She smiled, picked up the teacup in front of her and sipped it slowly, no longer continuing the topic.
Mu Zi川 also smiled.
Sometimes, some honest truths can only be said in the form of a joke, just to leave each other a way out.
Mu Zi川 also picked up the teacup in front of him and drank elegantly.
"By the way, Zichuan, tell me about Beijing. What's fun and interesting happening there lately" she asked.
Mùzi Chuan slightly lowered his eyes and thought seriously.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated!
“I don't know what's interesting, everyone has different sense of humor and perspectives.”
“I think is interesting, you may not find it fun. You find it fun, I might not have paid attention to it yet. But—”
"Since the new year, some not-so-good things have been happening in the capital city one after another, which has made the people a little uneasy, that's true." he said.
"Oh What's up" Yang Ruqing also became interested and asked.
Mu Zichuan said: "There are some common people who have gotten some strange illnesses."
Those illnesses, regardless of gender or age, once contracted, cause people to become delirious and insane.
“Seeing a doctor, they couldn't find anything wrong. Yet, all the people who contracted this illness died without treatment.”
At first, it was during the first month when the number of deaths was not large, so it did not attract much attention from the government.
“By the beginning of February, more and more people were infected, just like a spring breeze.”
And among those infected, some were members of the urban elite and nobility.
“It was in mid-February that I set out for my hometown with my mother. As I departed, I heard that high-ranking officials had already summoned all the prominent physicians in the city for a consultation.”
“Let's work together to research a cure and strategies against that strange illness. It's been over a month now, with renowned doctors stepping in, surely the situation should be under control by now,” he said.
Yang Ruqing nodded. "Well, every spring is always the peak season for diseases. Besides, the imperial city has a dense population, which makes it easy to spread infections."
"It's not unusual for some people to die because they don't receive timely treatment or the medication is ineffective, delaying their condition."
Birth, aging, sickness and death are the natural order of things for humans.
In today's society with advanced medical technology, humanity still hasn't made any substantial breakthroughs in the fight against cancer.
"By the way, Kazu, how long will you be staying in the village this time" she asked.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Mu Zi Chuan said, “I reckon I can stay for about half a month.”
Yang Ruqing said: "Well, half a month isn't short either. It just happens to coincide with this March of the Spring. The grass grows and the Orioles fly, the countryside scenery is very good. You can go for walks everywhere, go see it, write poems and compose lyrics, hehehe."uge family's business, the wine shop quickly went bankrupt, and other branches were also on the verge of collapse.>As the saying goes, "a leaky roof coincides with a torrential downpour," so it is wit...
