Even if they were priceless, I wouldn't sell them. Chen'er protected the golden bird's nest in her arms with both hands, along with the three small eggs inside.

“Uncle Left, I want to give these to my younger sister. She’ll definitely like them. My sister would probably think the same way as me and wouldn't be willing to sell them,” Chen’er added.

Zuo Junmo smiled and looked at Chen'er: "What, you don't want to hatch these three eggs into little swallows, do you?"

Chen'er nodded.

“These three little swallows haven't been born yet, and their mother has already died. It's so pitiful,” he said.

Yang Ruqing walked over and gently stroked Chen'er's head.

"Silly child, nature has its own rules. Without the mother swallow, there's no way we can hatch all three of them." she said.

In modern times, these are not difficult tasks. There are specialized equipment and incubators that can artificially hatch them.

But in ancient times, oh dear, that won't do!

Chen'er lightly frowned, unwillingly said: "Although most birds have gone south for the season, Mount Mianniu is so vast, there must still be some birds that haven't left."

>

“I’d like to take them all three back, and when the time comes, I'll find a bird's nest for hatching and mix them in there. Maybe they'll hatch." He said.

>

Yang Ruqing thought about it and nodded: "Since you want to try, your mother naturally won't stop you, just take it."

“Your sister must be over the moon when she sees the gift you got her, hahaha… ”

Hearing Yang Ruqing let go, Chen'er immediately became happy. She gently stroked the swallow egg in her arms, and her handsome little face was soft.

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

Yang Ruqing glanced at Zuo Junmo and Luofengtang, and said, "To be honest, when I climbed up from the bottom of the cliff, I also took something."

"What?" Luo Fengtang asked.

Yang Ruqing pulled out something shaped like an umbrella from her body, as if performing magic. It also looked like a large mushroom.

"Zǐzhī!" Zuǒ Jūn mò called out her name at once.

Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow, twirling the large lingzhi in her hand. "Hmm, this lingzhi is so big and red it's almost purple! Calling it Zi Zhi (Purple Mushroom) would be very fitting!"

"Qing'er, you are amazing!" Zuo Junmo said.

“This purple fungus grows deep in the valley, it is the holy product among fungi, and it is priceless at the pharmacy!” Left Junmo continued.

Then Chen'er was also surprised and said, “This lingzhi is so big! It’s as big as my two palms. If we sell it, could we buy a two-entrance house in the capital city, where an inch of land is worth a fortune?”

Left Junmo smiled and said, "This kind of holy product, in the eyes of those who know its value and can afford it, is worth more than just a two-story house."

Luo Fengtang then chuckled, "You don't need to guess. No matter how valuable it is, Qing'er wouldn't sell it."

"Why?" Zuo Junmo asked in confusion.

Luo Fengtang curved his lips, remaining silent, but his gaze fell softly upon Yang Ruqing.

Yang Ruqing cast a admiring glance at Luo Fengtang and said, "My husband truly understands me!"

“Haha, even if this lingzhi were more expensive, I wouldn't sell it. Left Big Brother, after all these years, you still don't know me, your younger sister? I wouldn't care about those yellow and white things?” she asked.

Zuo Junmo was taken aback, his face flushing slightly.

>

"It seems I am rather vulgar, brother." He smiled.

"Left Big Brother isn't vulgar, he's practical. People depend on food for survival, and money is what allows us to live securely. It's like fish can't live without water." Yang Ruoqing said.

Zuo Junmo smiled and waved his hand: "Come on, Qing'er, don't keep praising me like that. Let's talk about what you plan to do with this purple mushroom first!"

"Mother, you wouldn't also imagine me like this, taking it back to plant, would you?" Chen'er asked with a mischievous smile.

Yang Ruqing gave him a withering look. "Once I pick this ganoderma, it can't be replanted, and it's not easy to grow either. I'm planning to split it in half. One half will go to your grandmother Zuo Jia ga po to eat, and the other half I'll take back and grind into ganoderma powder to keep for emergencies."

"That's a great idea!" Chen'er said.

But whatever decision Yang Ruqing made, Luofengtang would naturally not object.

Zuo Junmo was greatly astonished.

"Qing'er, this Zi Lingzhi is an extremely rare and precious treasure. It is priceless and an excellent tonic for longevity. You should keep it for yourself; it will surely come in handy someday..." Zuo Junmo said.

Yang Ruqing smiled and shook her head: "It's precisely because of longevity that I want to offer half of it to show respect to our grandmother!"

"She is rather weak. Lingzhi would be good for her!"

Zuo Junmo said, "But, this thing is really too precious..."

Yang Ruqing said: "A good knife is used on the blade. Even the most valuable thing, if not given to those in need, is no different from a mushroom."

"Left Brother, my mind is made up. This is how it's decided then," she said.

Luofengtang also nodded: "Yes, listen to Qing'er, that's how it is!"

When the four returned to Zu Jiazhuang, it was already after dark.

At Zhuangzi's gate, the servants of Zuojia were waiting there. When they saw the carriage of Zuo Junmo and his company arriving, the servant hurried forward with a lantern to greet them.

"Master, the old mistress ordered me to wait here. I'm glad you're finally back," said the houseman, hurrying to lead the horse.

Zuo Junmo asked him, "Has the old madam not retired for the night yet?"

The houseman said, “No, we didn’t even have time for dinner. I just gave Miss Luo a little something.”

>

Left Junmo nodded.

Before the sun had risen, they came out. They didn't return even after sunset. Their mother must be terribly worried and had probably sent people to keep watch at the entrance of the village long ago.

As the group arrived at the entrance of Left Family's courtyard, they saw that the main hall inside was brightly lit and could faintly hear the conversation between an elder and a younger person.

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

Hearing the sound of carriages and horses, two figures, one big and one small, quickly arrived at the entrance to the main hall.

Seeing that they were truly back, Luo Baobei was so excited that she quickly released Old Madam Zhao's arm and ran over excitedly.

“Father, mother, Uncle Zuo, and brother, you’re finally back! Luo Baobei ran to Yang Ruqing and hugged her waist. Both I and Grandma Zuo were so worried that we nearly died! Grandma Zuo didn't even have the appetite for dinner last night!”

Yang Ruoqing stroked Luo Baobei's soft hair and said, "The road was a bit far, so I came back late. I'm sorry to have worried you!"

Luo Baobei giggled, "As long as you guys come back safe and sound!"

Chen'er said, "Baby, come here, see what gift I brought you."

“What? There’s still a present?” Luobao’s face was full of surprise, and she hurried over to Chen’er’s side.

Here, Old Madam Zou, supported by her maidservant, also came to the crowd, saying repeatedly: "If you don't come back soon, I'll have people go to Zǐwéi Cave to find you."

Yang Ruqing glanced at Luofeng Tang, then turned to face the elderly Mrs. Zuo with a smile and said, "Elder Madam, we've worried you."

"That's right, as long as you're back. Well then, are you all famished? I'll have them heat up some food,"

"Well, I am indeed hungry. Grandmother, let me help you inside!" Yang Ruqing helped up Old Madam Zhao, and the group stepped into the main hall.
