The back half is a main hall, and the front half connects to Lao Yang's front door.

Thinking of this, Yang Ruqing turned her head and glanced at the back half of the hall.

Next to the wall stood a high-legged stool.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

The bar was very long, almost reaching from one end of the wall to the other.

In the middle of the room stood an altar, housing the ancestral tablets of the Lao Yang family.

On either side of the shrine are family mottoes.

Below the shrine, there was a red-painted eight immortals table with two armchairs on either side.

Along both walls stood a row of tall, four-legged stools.

Yang Ruqing was a little curious about the couplet on that shrine, so she walked closer and peered at the "Yang" family crest. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

On the left: Reading diligently, even when facing hardship.

Right association: Sparrow proclaims good fortune.

The inscription on the banner reads: "Yang clan of Hongnong."

The Yang family of Hongnong?

Are these two characters, "Hongnong," a clan name?

In ancient times, some prominent families liked to establish their family lineage in a certain region and use their surname as the name of that region.

...Yang family of Hongnong...

She has heard about it in many related movies and TV shows.

According to legend, the Yang clan of Hongnong was once a prominent and influential family.

Could it be that the ancestors of the Lao Yang family branched off from the branch in Hongnong?

Thinking that her blood might still be carrying diluted, almost negligible amounts of noble blood, Yang Ruohua couldn't help but curl the corners of her mouth upward.

She didn't have time to delve into these matters, she was here to call her older brother over for a meal!

Shaking her head, Yang Ruqing turned and went around the left side of the courtyard to the front half of the main hall, knocking on Yang Yongxian's door.

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else! ?

Since the scholar failed the imperial examination again, he hasn't gone to the town academy for a while.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

I've been studying at home all the time. Besides eating and going to the bathroom, I don't go out at other times.

"Knock knock..."

Yang Ruqing knocked on the door two or three times, but there was no movement from inside.

Strange!

Gone to the bathroom?

It's impossible.

>

Uncle Big Hall has to pass by her kitchen if he's going to the outhouse, she hadn't seen him before.

Dinner?

Even less likely.

Let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else!

When she came over just now, Liu was still peeling potatoes at the kitchen door!

Why doesn't that big brother open the door?

Yang Ruqing tilted her head, her face full of question marks.

He must have gotten tired from reading and fallen asleep on the table, right?

She then raised her hand and pounded harder, scratching at the door while shouting: "Big brother, are you in there? My parents sent me to invite you over for lunch at our place..."

There was still no answer from inside the house.

But Yang Ruoqing heard a rustle.

She was surprised, tilting her head to press her ear against the door...

The sound was like that of something being gently rubbed.

Then came the sound of dressing.

The voice was very faint and soft, with a heavy attempt to conceal it.

Yang Ruqing smiled secretly, Big Brother must be asleep in the hall, what a shame!

So, she knocked on the door again: "Brother, are you in there? Did you hear me?"

This time, Yang Yongxian's voice finally came from inside.

Here!

Footsteps approached, the door creaked open, and Yang Yongxian stood neatly dressed at the doorway.

His face, slightly pale, still held a trace of redness.

"I was so engrossed in my studies just now that I didn't hear you. Qing'er, what brings you to me?"

Yang Yongxian asked Yang Ruoheng with a gentle face.

Yang Ruqing glanced at his slightly wrinkled straight suit, inwardly muttering.

He's pretending to be studying, but he's clearly asleep!

A person of great virtue will never break their promise.

Big Brother actually has a tough job. The hopes and dreams of the entire family, spanning generations, are all placed on his shoulders.

To sneak in a nap and still fear being seen, fearing that he wasn't hardworking enough.

All beings suffer!

Yang Ruqing said calmly, "Big brother, my family bought some land today and had a feast to entertain the guests. My parents asked me to invite you over for dinner!"

Yang Yongxian also smiled, “Acquiring farmland is a happy event, so I congratulate my third uncle and third aunt first.”

“Thank you, big brother. Big brother, they're all taking their seats. You should hurry and come with me!”

“Good!” Yang Yongxian nodded.

As he turned to close the door, Yang Ruqing accidentally caught sight of a spot on his robe, where a large drop of viscous liquid clung.

It's kind of like mucus, but it's also white.

>

Then look at where that thing was clinging, and the strange reddish hue still lingering on Dahuang's face just now.

Her mouth twitched involuntarily.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if it's really happening.

As Yang Yongxian turned around, a faint breeze stirred.

In the air, there seems to be a faint scent of plant protein...

Yang Ruqing was as if struck by lightning.

Thinking of herself knocking on this door, just a wall away her elder brother was there... She got a chill all over!

"Qinger, didn't we say it was almost time to eat? Why aren't you coming?"

Yang Yongxian walked to the courtyard and turned to greet Yang Ruqing, who was still standing at his doorway.

Yang Ruqing instantly came to her senses.

>

“Oh, here it comes!”

She hurried after him, her eyes fixed on the tall and slender figure of her elder brother as he walked away. Her mind raced with thoughts all the way.

Dà Tánggē is the third generation of the Lao Yáng family, and Lǎo Yángtóu poured all his efforts into cultivating him as a scholar.

In order to let him focus on his studies, he was not yet arranged a marriage even at the age of eighteen.

...as a result, even their younger cousins' weddings had to be postponed.

It's not the main point, the key is that Big Brother finds studying boring and stressful.

There's no beauty to enhance my life.

An 18-year-old boy has developed physically in all aspects, and his firepower is also strong.

It is understandable that people may engage in these behaviors to release themselves and alleviate stress.

However, even though she understood, Yang Ruqing was still a little too embarrassed to look him in the eye at that thing that was still stuck on his robe.

...it would be even more embarrassing to remind him that he has something dirty on his clothes...

>

That's how he walked all the way, head down, to Old Yang's kitchen.

I just happened to catch Yang Huamei playing with Wangcai in the yard.

Yang Huamei saw Yang Yongxian and greeted him with a smile: "Nephew, where are you going?"

Yang Huamei sincerely admires this nephew from the bottom of her heart.

He is a student, and in the future he will rely on his achievements.

My nephew from my husband's family has achieved success in his career, which also brings honor to me as his aunt.

“Nephew, your complexion doesn't look good. If you're tired from studying, rest more indoors and don't go out!”

Yang Huamei again gave two well-rehearsed reminders.

Yang Yongxian's younger aunt, Yang Huamei, who was a few years younger than him, respectfully bowed to him.

“My aunt-in-law, it's my third uncle and third aunt who are being polite, inviting me to have lunch at their place.”

Yang Huamei curled her lips, glanced at Pangya who was following Yang Yongxian, and snorted.

Yang Ruqing treated Yang Huamei as air, completely ignoring her.

Yang Yongxian didn't linger any longer, taking a step forward and was suddenly called back by Yang Huamei.

“Nephew, stand down!”

Yang Yongxian really stopped, turning his head with a look of surprise to look at Yang Huamei.

Yang Huamei had already rushed to Yang Yongxian's side in a hurry.

“These are those shameless people, how disgusting! How could they smear snot on their nephew's clothes?”
