"I've read a lot about the records of the Great Qi dynasty. Nearly all the prominent aristocratic families in Great Qi are located in the capital city, right under the Emperor's feet."

Yang Ruoqing continued.

“As for the Jiangzhe region to the east, there are more well-known wealthy merchants. The only territory of the Southern King still remains in Licity,” Yang Ruqing added.

Tuoba Xian said, "The one who adopted Chen'er certainly wasn't a wealthy merchant. To have raised Chen'er to be so outstanding, both in literature and martial arts..."

“This isn't the vision and foresight of a businessman, and in my opinion, when Chen’er went to the bandit den, it was purely for experience.”

“Those dark guards were sent by the one who adopted him to secretly protect Chen’er. It can be seen that that person, towards Chen’er, was half cultivation and half true love!”

"During the year Chen'er spent in the bandit's den, that person never ordered her to return. This shows that he had a broad and generous mind, not a narrow-minded or short-sighted one."

After listening to her mother-in-law's analysis, Yang Ruoqing nodded.

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

“I thought the same way, Mother. You haven't been to Xiaoyao Mountain Villa and haven't seen Chen'er’s living quarters.”

“This child, their living habits are so good, I'm happy just looking at them.”

“By the way, there’s also that bamboo grove where he practices his kung fu every morning. The fake brothers in the mountains didn't notice anything unusual. When I first went in, I just thought the bamboo here grew a little differently than elsewhere,”

But Left Brother saw through the ruse.

"What clues?" Tubo Xian asked.

Yang Ruqing said, “The formation, there's a formation hidden in that bamboo forest. Even Left Brother, who is an expert in formations and a descendant of the Mohist school, was secretly amazed when he saw Chen’er's formation set up in the bamboo forest.”

He said, "If this formation were set up by someone else for Chen'er, it means Chen'er has a high-ranking expert guiding him."

He said again, “If this formation was set up by Chen'er himself, then my Chen'er is truly remarkable. When he grows up…”

Yang Ruqing didn't continue, because she saw both Tuo Ba Xian and Sun shi were so excited that their faces were flushed, and their feet in the warm bucket trembled uncontrollably.

Apart from wiping tears of joy and relief, Mrs. Sun couldn't find the words to express herself. All she could feel was happiness and excitement.

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

Tuoba Xian took a deep breath, then asked Yang Ruqing: "Have you told Feng Tang about this good news?"

Yang Ruqing shook her head. "When everything has settled, I'll tell him,"

>

Tuoba Xian nodded, "Then when will you go and recognize him again?"

Yang Ruqing said, “When I left, I also left a self-portrait for Chen'er, along with a letter and our detailed address.”

If Chen'er is willing, he will definitely come to find me. However, I won't sit here and wait,”

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

“I also entrusted Wang Xiucai and Liu Laosan with another message. Once Chen'er returned to Xiaoyao Mountain after the New Year, they should send me a letter as soon as possible, so that I could immediately go see Chen'er.”

Two birds with one stone, foolproof.

Tuoba Xian's face broke into a smile of approval. "Good, still Qing'er you thought things through, then we shall just wait for good news."

Regarding Chen'er, we finally talked about it to everyone's satisfaction. Next, Yang Ruqing asked about the family situation.

She first inquired with Sun's family about the marriage of Da'an and Xiaohua. She learned that the wedding banquet went smoothly, and the young couple was very much in love. Yang Ruoqing also felt relieved.

Then she also asked about the Luo family's situation from Tuo Ba Xian, "Have Zhou Wang, his sister-in-law Xiao Huan come to pay New Year's greetings?"

Tuo Ba Xian smiled and said, "On the first day of the lunar new year, Zhou Wang came over to pay New Year's greetings early in the morning. After having lunch, he hurried back."

“Auntie and Xiao Huan haven’t come with the children, have they?” Yang Ruqing asked.

Talking about this, Tuo Ba Xian laughed even more brilliantly.

“It is said that Xiao Huan is pregnant with her second child, just three months along. The fetal development isn't very stable yet, so she hasn't dared to come over.”

“Oh?” Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow, her face filled with joy.

"That's great! What about your uncle? Have you gone back to visit him?" she asked again.

Tuo Ba Xian said, “I haven’t gone yet. Your uncle seems to have said that after the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, we should wait for Da Jie to take up his post in Huguang County before going to Zhoujia Village to pay New Year’s greetings.”

When it came to Da Jie's job in Hu Guang County, Yang Ruqing also remembered.

News received years ago indicated that Mu Zichuan had been appointed as the County Magistrate of Huaguang County. Subsequently, Mu Zichuan petitioned the Emperor to promote Da Jie, a prominent individual, as his assistant.

Then, the Emperor, in a gesture of goodwill, appointed Sun Da Jie as the County Magistrate of Huaguang County, with all the privileges and stipends afforded by the imperial court.

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

So, Da Jie is now on the imperial payroll. On the eighth day of the first lunar month, which is tomorrow, he will go to Huiguang County with Mu Zichuan to take up his post.

“What time will we leave tomorrow? My stepmother and aunt are planning a banquet for the procession,” she asked.

Tuo Ba Xian cast her gaze towards Sun, regarding this arrangement, Sun definitely knew about it.

Indeed, Sun lifted her head and smiled: "Your stepmother's side isn't planning on doing anything. They say that tomorrow morning Zichuan will be leaving for Huiguang County."

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

>“On Da Jie’s side, your aunt and her family originally wanted to hold a banquet, but Da Jie wouldn't allow it.”

He said that the County Magistrate was very low-key when taking office, and as a County Clerk, there was no need to hold a grand welcoming banquet. Therefore, it is estimated that they two will set off early tomorrow morning.

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

Yang Ruqing nodded. "Well, Da Jie's worries are also reasonable. We don't care about one meal. As the new official takes office, they should focus on doing a good job first."

"By the way, Mother, what about the yellow-haired boy and Xiao Shunzi? Are they going too?" she asked.

Sun Shi thought for a moment and said, "What your aunt means is that she wants Huang Mao to go with you to take care of Da Jie's diet and daily life, and Xiao Shun Zi stays at home, and she takes care of him."

My aunt-in-law's hands are tied, who has the time to take care of Xiao Shunzi? There are so many pigs at the pig farm...

The pig farm has dozens of pigs, and the pigs have big appetites. They eat two meals a day, which is a very arduous task.

Because pigs eat a lot, they also produce a lot of waste. Cleaning the pigpen and removing their feces every day is another extremely arduous task.

These two things alone would keep my aunt and uncle practically trapped in the pigpen all day long, leaving them no time for anything else.

So, when it came to housework, like laundry and cooking, Yellow Hair and Xiao Jie used to handle it together.

Since Huang Mao became pregnant and gave birth, she was very tired taking care of the child by herself. All the housework fell to Xiao Jie.

Since Old Sun's mother passed away, Old Sun has not been as strong as he used to be. The family simply doesn't have enough people to do all the work these days.

In this case, who will take care of the little one if they are left behind?

Seeing what Yang Ruoqing was thinking, Sun shi said: "Your aunt said, it's no big deal to earn a little less money. She wants the two of you to come back and help your uncle manage the pig farm."

She freed up her time to focus on taking care of her grandson, allowing Huang Mao to also devote all his attention to Da Jie.

"Anyway, now that Da Jie is eating imperial grain, your aunt and her family are not worried anymore. They can make more money from the pig farm if they can, and it doesn't matter if they make a little less." Sun Shi said.
