Chapter 4308: Auntie Number Four is an Experienced Woman
hey used to wipe themselves after using the toilet, it was something she found embarrassing.There was no toilet paper, and the corners of the walls were all lined with sharpened grass stalks or bamboo...“Your Aunt Si is someone who’s been through it all, so don’t try to fool her!” Mrs. Liu said, calling her “Aunt Si” repeatedly, as if the young man before her was truly her own nephew.
"Back then, Aunt Four was young and had her share of romances too. If you're truly innocent, why don't you go to the Yang family yourself and recite this birthday poem for Qing'er openly and honestly"
“Why are you looking for me, giving me two ounces of silver to do this for you Come on, don't keep pretending! Aunt Four is a smart woman!” Liu shi actually showed a hint of seriousness.
Mu Zi Chuan was completely speechless.
“Auntie Si, it’s really not what you think. I didn’t go to give it to her in person, it’s not because I have some unspeakable secret hidden in my heart, but because I estimate Feng Tang,” Mu Zichuan said.
"Feng Tang is Qing'er's husband in name and reality. If I were to send her poetry in front of her husband, it would be inappropriate."

"Besides, now that I have a fiancée, I naturally wouldn't do anything out of line." Mu Zichuan said.
"Alright, alright, Fourth Aunt believes you. You don't need to keep convincing me, do you" Liu said.
Mu Zi Chuan let out a sigh, discovering for the first time that explaining these things to a woman was really tiring.
However, some things should be explained clearly and not vaguely, so as to avoid misinterpretations.

Mu Zi Chuan thought Liu Shi had understood, but he was wrong. For a woman fighting on the front lines of gossip, the truth didn't matter. What mattered was the process of seeking it out and speculating about various possibilities. That was the essence of gossiping.
Moreover, Liu had just taken a step back and, following Mu Zi Chuan's lead, said she believed him. Her true intention, however, lay behind this.
"Well, Zichuan, you just said you had a fiancee. Then, Auntie Si can't help but ask you another question," Liu shi's eyes were blazing, she took a step forward.
“How have you been getting along with your cousin, Liu Doukou lately I haven't seen her come to Changping Village much.” Mrs. Liu asked again.

Mùzi Chān said, "In the twelfth lunar month and the first month, my uncle's house is busier, with more relatives and friends coming and going. My cousin has to help my aunt greet the guests, so we haven't been out much these days."
But on the third day of the first lunar month when he went to his uncle's house to pay New Year's greetings, he found that his cousin was not at home. He heard that she had gone to her maternal grandfather's house and would return home after the Lantern Festival.
The specific reason was that my aunt's in-laws had a brother-in-law who worked in Yangzhou and took his nephew back to their hometown for the New Year.
So, the aunt took her niece to live with them, so she could get to know her cousins.

“Well, this is awkward. Since the perpetrator's aunt is you, you’ll naturally be implicated too.”
With the two characters "牽連", Mu Zi Chuan intentionally bit them a little harder, his eyes flickering.

Liu was astonished, staring at Mu Zichuan. Although he still had a faint smile on his face, in that instant, his eyes clearly held a warning!
Liu suddenly shivered inexplicably.
She nodded repeatedly, raised two fingers and swore to the old maple tree: "I promise I won't tell anyone. Otherwise, may my tongue get sores, my feet fester, I can't eat or sleep, and my feces and urine will leak into my pants, so much that even cats and dogs would avoid me..."
"Alright, Auntie Four, no need for oaths. I believe you." Mu Zichuan said.
Only then did Liu let go of her hands.
Mú Zǐchuān said, “It's getting late. Fourth Aunt, you should go home and rest early. I should head back as well.”
Liu nodded, taking out the two taels of silver. "Well... I'll take this silver then, truly"
Mùzǐchuān nodded.
Liu quickly put the silver in her pocket and walked away excitedly.
His steps quickened, as if worried that if he walked slowly, Mu Zichuan might change his mind and come back to take the silver.
Originally, she was just going out for a stroll after dinner tonight when she ran into Mukizuka. He entrusted her with the task of reciting poetry and prose.
“Singing a song earns two taels of silver, and it doesn't require any capital. This job is really great!” On her way back, Liu thought excitedly.
Two taels of silver, enough for her to sit and eat through a month after spring arrives, and even buy herself some new spring clothes. It's really beautiful.
Well, I'll have to go out more often from now on, and visit Muzi River more frequently. That kid is rich and generous. Haha, then I'll be rich!
After Liu left, Mu Zichuan stood alone under the old maple tree, lost in thought.
He stood with his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance towards the village road. His eyes were filled with thought...
Today's Qinger, should be very happy, right
With so many people accompanying her, the most crucial thing was that Luofeng Tang was also there.

Today, she should be beaming with smiles, receiving countless blessings, right Then his poems would be the icing on the cake, deepening her smile just a little more, and that would be enough.
Though he no longer yearns to be her husband, and though he has let go of his obsession with her, allow him to keep her as the most beautiful secret in his life, hidden in the deepest recesses of his heart.
After the three years of filial piety were over, he would keep his promise and marry his cousin Liu Doukui.
He would treat her well, respect her, and cherish her.
But deep down inside, there would always be an empty space left in his heart, allowing him to reminisce and savor the memories throughout his life...
Mu Zi Chuan gazed towards the Luo family's direction for a long, long time, until much later, when the night wind blew against him, making his cheeks ache, he finally tightened the cloak on his shoulders and turned to walk in another direction.
The cold moonlight seemed to sprinkle him with silver frost on his shoulders. His figure stretched behind him, growing more and more lonely and cold, until, until he turned the corner of the front yard completely, merging with the night.
"Achoo!"
Yang Ruohua poked her head out of the bed and let out a loud sneeze.
Luo Fengtang also sat up, "What's wrong"
Yang Ruqing grabbed the handkerchief beside her pillow and wiped her nose, saying, "It's over, I tossed and turned too crazily last night, eight out of ten is catching a cold, it's all your fault."
Luo Fengtang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
He lay there with his hands pillowed behind his head, the blanket pulled up just to his chest, his exposed arms strong and muscular.
"It's not just a cold, it's someone thinking about me that's causing these sneezes," he said.

"What do you mean" Yang Ruqing turned her head and looked at him in surprise.
Luofeng Tang reached out and pulled her into his arms. "The congratulatory poem that Fourth Aunt sang last night was written by Zichu."
"What Zi Chuan wrote this" Yang Ruqing's eyes widened in surprise.
Then, he regained his composure: "This isn't a big deal. Zi Chuan is a top scholar with a wealth of knowledge. It’s not surprising that he wrote a birthday poem for the play, and it became popular through Si Shu, who loves theater."
Luo Fengtang let out a low chuckle, "You little girl, how can you be so foolish You're usually so sharp and intelligent, why are you acting like this now"ou've really lost some weight these days, your face... has shrunk by a whole circle!""Really, Uncle"Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!Yang Ruqing was delighted to hear...
