“Well, it’s getting late. I should head over to the theater. Zichuan brothers, you should rest early too. When I return from Chang Huizhou, we can continue our unfinished game!”

As soon as the words left his mouth, Zuo Junmo rose from his seat.

Mu Zi Chuan also stood up, "Since Brother Zuo is going to Chang Huai Prefecture tomorrow, I won't stay long either. Wishing you a smooth journey tomorrow!"

Left Junmo nodded slightly, "Thank you."

When he reached the courtyard, Zuo Junmo suddenly stopped.

He turned to look at Mukizuka, wanting to speak but holding back.

"Left brother, if you have any orders, just say them directly. Tonight, we can be considered as talking by candlelight, pouring our hearts out to each other." Mu Zi Chuan said.

Left Junmo then said: "Zichuan, since you are now betrothed to Miss Liu, it's best not to disappoint her. Be good to her. There will be operas in the village for five or six days. Will you please invite Miss Liu's family to watch?"

Mu Zichuan was stunned, then shook his head.

Zuo Junmo said, "As an outsider, I'm just offering a suggestion. Whether to accept it or not is up to the two of you, brothers Zi Chuan. I shall take my leave now, and we shall meet again in the future!"

When Zuo Junmo leisurely strolled near the stage, he immediately spotted his mother sitting in a heated bucket on a small platform in front of the stage, her head tilted upwards as she watched the actors performing.

With the sound of silk and bamboo music, my own mother's hands on her lap couldn't help but tap along to the rhythm.

On the sidelines, several women related to the Luo family were keeping each other company. They munched on melon seeds while watching the play and discussing it, having a great time.

While Qinger stood politely behind her mother, frequently leaning down to whisper in her ear. They were likely discussing plays, for her mother's smile never faded.

Zuo Junmo also had a relaxed expression, he hadn't seen his mother so happy in a long time, smiling so brightly.

It seems like next year, on New Year's Day, or when my mother celebrates her birthday, I should also invite a troupe of opera performers to Left Family Compound to put on a show and make my mother happy.

Feeling a gaze upon her, Yang Ruoqing turned her head and saw Zuo Junmo standing at the edge of the crowd.

There's no way around it, Zu Junmo, Mu Zichuan, and Luo Fengtang, these three men, whether in height or temperament, are so out of this world.

Even in such a crowded night, he stood on the outer edge, separated by throngs of people, but Yang Ruqing still saw him standing there with his hands behind his back at a glance.

Seeing her look at him, he didn't avoid her gaze but nodded at her openly. Then he pointed with his finger towards Old Madam Zhao beside Yang Ruqing and made a gesture.

Yang Ruqing immediately understood Zuo Junmo's gesture. This was asking her to check if Old Madam Zuo was comfortable and whether she wanted to go back to sleep?

Yang Ruoqing gave him a faraway gesture of waiting, then turned to whisper a few words in the old man's ear.

Left Lady immediately stood up, turned her head, and saw Left Jun Mo.

Left Lady told Yang Ruqing: “Ruqing, please go and tell Jun Mo to return home and get some rest first. Tomorrow we have a long journey to Chang Hui Prefecture. I'm not tired at all, and with your mother and the others keeping me company watching the opera, I'll rest after it ends. Please tell him not to worry.”

Yang Ruqing smiled and nodded. "Alright, I'll go tell Brother Zuo right away. Grandma, please go back to the warm tub, don't catch a cold."

Soon, Yang Ruqing made her way through the crowd and arrived before Zuo Junmo.

"Elder Brother Zuo, the old madam is in high spirits right now and won't rest until she has heard everything." Yang Ruohong said with a smile.

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

Left Junmo said, "I also guessed it would be like this."

This appears to be an HTML tag sequence. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

Yang Ruqing continued, "Brother Zuo, Madam asked you to return and rest first. Tomorrow morning, we'll have to travel to Chang Huai Prefecture. Don't worry, we'll escort Madam back after the event."

Zu Junmo nodded. "Fine, I'm not worried, with you here, I feel at ease."

Then, he took off his cloak and gave it to Yang Ruqing.

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

"Let my mother have this and lay it over her, for the wind tonight is a little stronger than during the day." he said.

Yang Ruqing draped his long coat over his arm and said, "Brother Zuo is truly a filial son, kind and thoughtful. I never thought of so many things!"

Actually, one can't blame Yang Ruohong for not thinking too much. The main reason was that after dinner everyone went out to watch a play. Old Madam Zou wore enough already and even put on a cloak with a hood.

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

Again, sitting in a warm tub with something covering her legs and holding a cup of hot tea, watching a play.

Compared to the other villagers who were watching the open-air performance around, this small stage had thatch and planks on top, a railing around it, and logically, it shouldn't be cold. Please let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Zuo Junmo said, "My mother probably won't be cold, but you should still bring it for her. She can wear it on the way back."

Yang Ruoqing came back to her senses and smiled, "Good," she said. Then, she took her cloak and returned to Old Madam Zou's side, continuing to watch the play with her.

The next morning, Zuo Junmo set off for Chang Huizhou.

Yang Ruqing supported Old Madam Zhao from the side of the road and turned back. As they neared the courtyard gate, another carriage came out onto the main road behind them.

The one driving the car was a servant from Mu Zichuan's family.

Yang Ruqing was suspicious. What was Mu Zichuan doing out so early?

Early in the morning, Yang Ruqing didn't want to go over and say hello. She turned around, supported the elderly Mrs., and continued walking towards the courtyard.

At mid-day, Yang Ruoqing was washing clothes by the pond.

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

No need to cook lunch today, why?

Mrs. Sun greeted them last night, and today they are having a meal to greet the old Mrs. Left. So, this afternoon, Yang Ruqing will accompany the old Mrs. Left there.

So I had some free time, so I came over quickly to take a wash, and then I ran into Yang Huamei.

"Auntie, you picked up this whole basketful of things, what are you washing all these?" Yang Ruqing asked in surprise.

Yang Huamei said, "These are Da Bai and Xiao He's clothes, shoes, and socks. In a few days, the school in town will start, so I have to wash these things so they can take them to town."

“The village school should also be starting back up in August, right?” Yang Ruqing asked again.

Yang Huamei nodded.

Crouching beside Yang Ruqing, he took things out one by one and washed them.

Yang Ruqing said, "Auntie, last night at the opera, I only saw two young boys. I didn't seem to see you. Did you go watch the opera?"

Yang Huamei shook her head. "Where's the mood to watch a play? The night we watched a play last New Year's Eve, my mother-in-law hanged herself in the firewood shed."

“I didn't go to the theater, nor did my stepfather. After dinner, he washed his feet and went straight to bed. I was weaving cloth and left the door open for the two boys, otherwise I would have gone to bed early in the morning too.”

Hearing this, Yang Ruohuang suddenly realized.

Yes, on the night when Zhuanzi's mother sang opera last January, she was first scolded inexplicably by Tan, feeling wronged in her heart, and then went home without watching the opera.

On her way home, she unexpectedly saw Tuanzi's father and Wangfu's mother talking together. Tuanzi's wife was both shocked and angry, and in a moment of despair, she went home and hanged herself.
