Once these women started talking about their grandchildren, they seemed unable to stop. Yang Ruqing had no choice but to interrupt them.

"Mother, are you all preparing to visit my stepmother?" she asked.

Mrs. Sun said, "That's right, I just don't know what kind of situation Mrs. Zi Chuan is in. Some things can be sent, some things can't. I always want the things I send to be useful."

Bao Suyun also nodded and said, "The Mu family is no longer what it used to be. They have seen all kinds of delicacies and nourishing supplements? If we give them some more general gifts like ointment, it would be too superficial."

"I agree. We've been at a standstill, so we came to you for advice. What do you think?"

It turns out that's how it is. Yang Ruqing nodded secretly, her mother and aunt five's thinking was reasonable.

Visiting sick relatives and friends is generally divided into two types.

Visits that are just going through the motions often bring generic gifts, which someone who is ill usually won't eat.

Just like people visiting each other during the Lunar New Year nowadays, you might bring gifts like a box of "Naobaijin," "Golden Partner," or "Fu Xi Kang" supplements.

Actually, when these things first came out and were relatively rare, some elderly people did drink them.

But later, with mass production and widespread advertising, this kind of thing became ubiquitous. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Not only is it sold in supermarkets, but also in major pharmacies and hospitals. You can use your medical insurance card to pay...

Most elderly people hardly touch them anymore, they are all piled up in the corner.

Similarly, in this ancient times, there were also similar kinds of gifts.

"Everyone here in this room is our own, and we all keep things tight-lipped. I'm not mad at you," Yang Ruqing whispered softly.

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

“My mother-in-law, her illness is here.” Yang Ruqing pointed at her own chest.

"How could she still get sick?" Big Granny was puzzled and instinctively raised her hand to pinch herself there. It felt heavy, too big for one hand to grasp.

If it weren't for Yang Ruoqing's mood being affected by Zi Chuan Niang's illness, feeling a bit down and sad, then Da Sun's comical action would have definitely made her laugh.

But at this moment, he had no thoughts other than laughter.

"Zi Chuan told me that in the capital, they almost invited every famous doctor, even the chief physician from the Imperial Hospital came to diagnose my mother-in-law, but the results were all the same – incurable."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun and her family gasped in shock.

Even Tuoba Xian, who had been sitting quietly and gracefully beside him, her hands clasped in prayer beads, was startled. Her face paled.

"Is that the doctor's diagnosis?" Tuo Baxian asked again.

Yang Ruqing nodded.

Tuoba Xian lightly frowned, then shook her head, closed her eyes, and resumed moving the beads between her fingers.

Here, Mrs. Sun sighed: "Poor Lady Zichuan, she has such a pitiful illness. She's only enjoyed a few years of happiness! Alas!"

Dà Sūn Shì asked, "What kind of official is the imperial physician? Is he very important?"

Yang Ruqing said: "The imperial physicians who specialize in treating the emperor, his consorts, and future princes and princesses all work at the Imperial Medical Bureau. The chief physician is the director of this medical bureau, and he is the most senior among all these imperial physicians."

“Then his medical skills must also be the highest, right?” asked Mrs. Da Sun again.

Yang Ruqing nodded.

As a general rule, medical skills, even if not the highest, should not be weaker than those of other physicians below, especially clinical experience, which is definitely the most abundant.

“Alas, even our most skilled physician in Great Qi has given such a diagnosis. It seems the Grim Reaper himself has sent a summons. Poor Lady Zi Chuan, she hasn't even held her grandson yet and is about to depart. What a tragedy!”

All the women bowed their heads and wiped away tears, each one heartbroken for Un-ni. They sighed with sorrow.

Yang Ruqing said, “Mother, aunt-in-law, fifth aunt, you can release all your emotions here, but when we go to my mother-in-law’s place later, you’d best keep them hidden.”

“Try to encourage everyone to look on the bright side,” she said.

Mrs. Sun raised her head and said, "Qinger, you don't have to worry. We naturally understand. She is a sick person now, so we will definitely persuade her for the better and won't say anything wrong."

Dà Sūn shì also said: "We're not stupid, we know what to say and what not to say!"

Now Yang Ruqing felt relieved, and then she discussed with them what to take to visit.

The result of the discussion was that everyone brought eggs from home, old hens, fish, and preserved meat from the New Year.

This year's newly harvested wheat flour, freshly ground rapeseed oil and sesame oil.

Compared to those all-purpose tonic supplements, these life necessities that are closely related to life are actually the best and most practical gifts.

Lao Mu's house.

Several women from the Sun family, including Lady Zi Chuan, were chatting in the house. Yang Ruqing, however, went to Lao Mu's kitchen and started tidying it up.

Last night, I originally planned to tidy up the kitchen first, and then teach Mukizuka how to cook porridge.

Later on, due to some reasons, it was temporarily postponed. The food at night was sent to Kozue's mother.

"Gee, this kitchen's so clean! I don't remember taking time to tidy up yesterday afternoon."

Upon entering the kitchen, Yang Ruoqing was surprised to see the clean and tidy cooking stove, the cabinets filled with dishes, and the drawers containing washed bowls of all sizes stacked neatly together.

"I tidied it up, just make do with it!" Mukizuka came in behind her, he had changed into a sky-blue loungewear. It was loose and narrow-sleeved, not diminishing his slender grace while also allowing him to move freely.

Yang Ruoqing turned around, looked at his attire, and smiled.

“Well, this outfit makes me look like I'm actually here to work.” she said.

“This kitchen is cleaned quite nicely, you must be doing this for the first time, right?” she asked.

Mu Zi Chuan nodded ashamedly.

"Before, I only knew how to bury my head in books. My mother silently took care of all these things. I always enjoyed the fruits of her labor." Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Now that I'm doing this myself, I realize there's a lot to learn here. It's just as demanding as studying!" he remarked with emotion.

Yang Ruqing smiled, "Not bad, not bad. Being able to have this kind of realization is good. However, your first attempt at this is also quite good. Keep practicing, I believe that sooner or later you will be honed into a qualified family man just like my Tang Ya Zi!"

Hearing these compliments, Mukizuka was very pleased.

“When Feng Tang left in the morning, I met him. It was just dawn then, he got up so early.” Mu Zichuan suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Yang Ruqing raised an eyebrow, a glimmer flashing in her eyes.

"Well, I'm ashamed to say, I was fast asleep back then and had no idea when he left." She tilted her head and lightly patted her head.

"By the way, where did you meet him? Did you talk?" she asked.

A genius in a second: m.
