"No need to make tea, Left Elder Brother in the front courtyard has already brewed it. I'll go back and drink it later. -Le Wen." Yang Ruqing said.

"Madam, I heard from Left Brother that you've been unwell. What's the situation?" she asked with concern.

Lao Fuzi smiled and shook her head, saying, "It's nothing major, just ate a few extra bites during the New Year because I was greedy."

“As he gets older, if he eats too much, it’s normal to have indigestion. Just wait a few days and he'll be fine.” she said.

Yang Ruqing was still not at ease, "Let me take your pulse."

Then Lady Lao extended her wrist, and Yang Ruqing pressed her fingers against it, listening carefully.

It's done. She put back Old Lady Zhao's hand and said, "If that's really the case, what medicine are you taking now?"

Here is the translated text, with HTML tags preserved:

Then Madam Left instructed the maid to bring the medicine over for Yang Ruqing to see.

Yang Ruqing said, "Well, these medicines are indeed effective, but eating too much can also upset the stomach."

"Last time, my child also had indigestion and abdominal bloating. After taking a dose of 'Bao He Tang', just two servings, he started to feel better."

"It's gentle and effective, too. It has tangerine peel and hawthorn berries in it, sweet and delicious. I remember the recipe. I'll tell Brother Zuo about it later. Madam, you should drink some more like this, how about that?" Yang Ruqing asked.

Left Matriarch nodded and smiled kindly, "Good, you have a kind heart."

After chatting idly with the old lady for a while, Yang Ruqing was about to get up and say goodbye when Zuo Junmo and Luo Fengtang also arrived.

After Luo Fengtang also expressed his concern for Mrs. Zuo, Yang Ruohua got up and said, "Let's let the old madam rest first, and we'll go to the front yard to talk."

Luò Fēng Táng nodded.

Left Lady said, "Qing'er, Fengtang brothers, you guys just relax and treat this place as your own home. Don't be so restrained." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Luò Fēng Táng and Yáng Ruò Qíng both smiled and nodded: "Well, okay. Please rest first."

In the front courtyard's main hall, Zuo Junmo was chatting with Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruqing.

In the back kitchen, Zuo's maidservants were also busy preparing lunch.

Yang Ruqing is a restless person. Even during the short break before mealtime, she went to Lao Geng's house at the village entrance.

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

I sent some New Year's gifts to Lao Geng Shu's family.

At noon, Zuo Junmo and Luo Fengtang came to look for Yang Ruqing. They also invited Old Geng to have a few drinks together with them.

"Left Big Brother, this trip to your home, we plan to stay for two or three days, returning on the 14th of the first lunar month."

At the dinner table, Yang Ruohui smiled happily.

Upon hearing this, Zuo Junmo's face lit up with delight.

"Well, well, about time," he said.

“As it happens, I have some free time on my hands at the moment. I can take you for a walk around here, let you see the lakes and mountains.” He added.

Yang Ruqing nodded happily and enjoyed her meal even more.

In the afternoon, the sun was warm. Zuo Junmo took Yang Ruohua and Luo Fengtang for a walk in the fields near Zuo's estate.

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

At this time, in the fields, rapeseed had already broken through the soil. On the scorched earth, patches of verdant rapeseed, clustered together, were a sight to behold.

In another month or so, as the spring breeze blows across the land, these rape blossoms will stand tall like a young girl's figure.

It will become slender and graceful, and then bloom with fragrant rapeseed flowers. By then, this field we are in will turn into a sea of rapeseed flowers.

Lake and mountain scenery, a sea of yellow rapeseed flowers, like a fairyland on earth.

“Look, there’s a huge bamboo forest ahead!” Yang Ruqing suddenly pointed to the front and shouted.

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

The bamboo in this grove is growing very well, thick and straight, each stalk reaching for the sky.

"Zuo Ge, Tang Ya Zi, I'm going to take a walk in that bamboo forest over there. If I'm lucky, I might even find some spring bamboo shoots!" she said excitedly.

Zuo Junmo and Luofeng Tang also saw the bamboo forest. Zuo Junmo smiled and said, "Let's go over there together."

Three people quickly entered the bamboo forest. The bamboo forest was very large and very quiet.

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

Walking inside, your feet sink into a thick layer of soft, fallen leaves, just like stepping on a soft carpet.

Occasionally, a gust of wind swept through the woods, and the remaining bamboo leaves rustled.

“This place has such a great environment, it's so peaceful and quiet, the air is good too. Taking a walk here in the morning can definitely add years to your life.” Yang Ruqing led the way, chatting as she walked.

Behind her, two equally outstanding men walked side by side, their eyes all chasing after her joyful figure.

Upon hearing her words, Luofengtang said: "If one could practice martial arts in such a place every morning, I imagine it would be twice as effective."

Left Junmo nodded and said, "To be honest with you, I come here for a few laps every morning, unless the weather is bad and it's pouring rain."

Walking and walking, Yang Ruqing at the front suddenly stopped.

She pointed to a large swathe of bamboo in front of them, all cut down to just above the ground, looking a little surprised.

“Left Brother, are the little bamboo tubes you provided for the perfume from this bamboo forest?” she asked.

Three years ago, at the time of late spring and early summer, Yang Ruqing began tinkering with the idea of starting a floral water business when she saw her younger brother, Xiao An, covered in mosquito bites and itching unbearably.

Flower water and soap take the civilian route, costing seven or eight cash per bottle and three or four cash per piece. Even farmers can afford them.

Because the cost is low, so the vessels for holding flower water are also ordinary bamboo casually processed into containers.

After seeing that floral water and soap were selling well, Yang Ruqing began to focus her attention on the research and processing of perfume.

Modern craftsmanship has been improved upon here, using various flowers and herbs collected in spring to extract essential oils. Since the perfume aims for a high-end market, Yang Ruqing has put a lot of thought into every aspect, from the fragrance formula, sales channels, to the packaging.

She sought cooperation with Zu Junmo, her eye being on his status as an inheritor of the Mo family and his extraordinary, otherworldly tool-polishing skills.

So, all the delicate little bamboo tubes used for containing perfume are produced by Zuo Junmo's side.

By the time they reached her, they were finished bamboo tubes, each one like a work of art. But she had never paid attention to where the raw materials for these little bamboo tubes came from.

Seeing this vast bamboo forest, she suddenly thought of something and couldn't help but ask.

Upon hearing Yang Ruqing's question, Zuo Junmo walked over. He glanced around and nodded, saying, "That's right."

“I originally planned to use camphor wood for the bamboo container, but after careful consideration, I realized that camphor wood itself has a strong fragrance. If used to hold perfume, it might overpower the scent of the perfume and be counterproductive.”

“After thinking about it, I think it’s better to use this bamboo to store perfume.”

"It is easy to store, deters insects and moisture, and the faint scent of bamboo does not clash with the fragrance of perfume," she said.
