When her voice faded, he remained crouched beside her, his eyes fixed intently on the canvas before him, lost in thought for a long time.

This is an example of HTML tags being included in a text string. The

tag defines a paragraph.Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

She stayed silent, giving him enough time to contemplate and ponder.

But, outside, some people were not so calm.

Here is the translation of your text: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Left Madam pressed her ear against the slightly ajar door, straining to hear what was happening inside.

The old lady is getting older and her ears are not as good as they used to be.

Prior to that, she had only heard muffled sounds from inside, as if two people were talking.

But then, there was suddenly no more movement.

Lao Fuzi's left ear was confused, so she changed to her right ear to listen.

I was extremely surprised.

This son has been obsessed with these things since he was a child, even more so than his grandfather and father.

He's twenty-one and still hasn't gotten married.

He was very close with the villagers, but he didn't talk much to the young woman.

She used all sorts of tricks to invite girls over to her house, but he kept his distance from them.

It's over now. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

It's like this, inviting a girl over to the house for fun, the two of us talking for so long in this woodworking shed, it's really the first time.

Elder Mrs. Zuo was overjoyed, as if she could see her chubby grandson waving to her.

One moment of excitement, and his body lost its balance. He crashed through the door along with it, straight into the room.

But none of the maidservants could hold her back.

Left Madam staggered, only just managing to steady herself.

The commotion here startled the two people over there.

Both people were squatting down earlier to look at the drawing board.

The two of them suddenly stood up.

Yang Ruqing was fine, her expression calm.

While Zuo Junmo was different.

I'm still buzzing from the excitement of seeing the entire wardrobe.

He suddenly stood up, his eyes blazing, and a strange redness flushed across his handsome face.

When this scene fell into Old Madam's eyes, the old lady was taken aback for a moment, and then she thought about what it meant.

The old woman was overjoyed.

"Well, I was just passing by. Act like I wasn't here, keep on playing, keep on playing!"

Here's the translation, keeping only the text and your HTML tags: Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Left Lady, after speaking those words, hurried out and even kindly closed the door for them.

Immediately, from outside came the excited voice of Old Madam Zou, instructing that maidservant.

“Hurry, hurry, hurry! Go to the chicken coop and catch the fattest hen. We’ll stew it up at noon to entertain Miss Yang…”

Then, the footsteps went away merrily.

This content appears to be a placeholder with no actual text to translate. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

In the carpentry workshop, Yang Ruqing smiled.

This is a very simple request! Let me know if you have anything else you'd like me to translate.

“Oh, Granny, you are too kind! I’ll be leaving soon, I won’t be staying for dinner. Please tell the Master to come quickly!”

She said sincerely, at that time, she didn't know what she meant to Lao Fuzi.

Mother and child have a deep, spiritual connection.

Yang Ruqing was kept in the dark, while Zuo Junmo clearly understood his mother's intentions.

A handsome face, this time truly flushed.

Suppressing the awkwardness in his heart, he feigned nonchalance and said, "It's just a home-cooked meal. Since my mother has prepared it, why don't you eat first and go back later?"

“As it happens, I have some details about this wardrobe that I'd like to ask you about.” he said.

Yang Ruqing is not a sentimental person.

"As for the details of the wardrobe, I can't say for sure right now." she said.

“I’ll go back and write it down carefully on paper, then bring it back to the master.”

It's getting late, I should head back now.

She said, turning to leave.

He was called back by Zuo Junmo.

“You insist on going back for dinner, because Luo Ge isn't here, so you’re deliberately avoiding me?” he asked bluntly.

Yang Ruqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled.

"It's not all bad, is it?" she said.

"Tang Ya Zi isn't the kind of person who is petty, and besides, you and I are open and honest, there's nothing to be ashamed of."

"Since you are so open and honest, why insist on leaving without having a meal?" he asked.

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

Yang Ruqing was a little surprised.

This is also a somewhat stubborn fellow.

“I appreciate the kindness of the Zhuang family. When I left, Tang Ya didn't know. I wanted to go back early so he wouldn't worry.”

She told the truth.

Regardless of the reason, she couldn't possibly leave Tang Yazi and come to eat with Zuo Junmo.

Both publicly and privately, it is not acceptable.

From a different perspective, if Luofeng Tang had dinner with another woman, she definitely wouldn't be happy either.

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

Zuo Junmo looked at Yang Ruqing and suddenly smiled.

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

"Miss Yang's sincere nature, I like it. Since that is the case, I won't force you. I will send you out."

"Thank you for understanding, Mr. Left."

Left Junmo sent Yang Ruqing to the courtyard gate. At this time, the sun had already set, and dusk was gradually rising around them.

Zuo Junmo said to Yang Ruqing, "As I said before, this time, I'll help you block it and won't give Li Cai Zhu a chance."

But, that Li Cai Zhu, is not to be underestimated." he said in a low voice.

After some deliberation, Zu Junmo continued, “Li Caizhu has a relative who is a high-ranking official in Qingan County. He is powerful and influential.”

>

“Miss Yang, take my advice. After this storm passes, please don’t go stirring up trouble with Master Li again!”

“I can protect you this time, but I can't guarantee next time. Take care of yourself!” he said.

>

Yang Ruoqing listened intently to Zuo Junmo's words, then smiled faintly.

"I am deeply grateful for Lord Zuo's advice. I have taken your words to heart." she said.

She doesn't provoke trouble, but she's not afraid of it either.

Even if the Jade Emperor himself blocked her path, she would never back down.

>

Seeing Yang Ruqing leave, Zuo Junmo stood at the gate of the courtyard with his hands behind his back for a while, pondering for a moment before turning and returning to the courtyard. Please let me know if you'd like me to translate anything else! ?

In the courtyard, Old Madam Left, supported by a maid, rushed over here in a hurry.

"Mo'er, what happened? Why did you let Yang girl leave?"

Left Lady came up and asked, her expression somewhat reproachful.

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

Left Junmo glanced at his mother helplessly and smiled.

"Mother, don't even think about it. Young Miss Yang is already betrothed."

Left Jun Mo said.

"Ah?"

>

Old Madam Zuo was a little dumbfounded.

"Such a good girl, how come she's already betrothed? Oh well, all the good cabbage has been ruined by pigs..." she lamented.

A black line appeared on Zuo Junmo's forehead.

“Mother, what you’re saying… Then my son, am I even worse than a pig…”

Lady Zhao came to her senses.

That's when I realized I had spoken the wrong words.

Get rid of that!

"Oh well, I was looking forward to having a few bites with Miss Yang, but now it seems like an empty joy."

"That's enough, I'm going back to bed!"

Old Madam Zou yawned and, with the help of a maid, went to the back garden.

Zu Junmo watched his mother's departing figure, her hunched back and silvery hair.

A nameless feeling of guilt welled up inside me.

He didn't want to disappoint his mother, and he also wanted to give his mother a grandchild sooner so she could enjoy her retirement.

But he didn't want to compromise himself either, so he just wanted to bring a woman home casually to live with him and have children.

Marrying a wife is like putting on shoes.

He wants to find a pair of shoes that fit him.

To be able to accompany him through mountains and rivers.

If he couldn't find it, he would rather just keep walking barefoot for the rest of his life.

Mother, I'm sorry, it's my son who is unfilial!
