After time travel, share a space with your modern family.

"You really want to come back to the village with me?" Doctor Liu looked at Liu Ziyun with surprise, seemingly finding his decision unbelievable.

Liu Ziyun nodded vigorously in affirmation.

Doctor Liu frowned and asked suspiciously, "Are you planning to find out even your third uncle's lair? I'm afraid you'll get your father to send troops to besiege me, and then I won't even have a place to hide!" After saying that, he glared at Liu Ziyun and continued working on the account books.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ziyun quickly explained, "Third Uncle, please don't misunderstand. You've always been very kind to me, and it was only because I met you this time that I survived. Without you and Mumu, I would probably be dead already. Perhaps you've already noticed something; this assassination attempt was clearly premeditated, and the other party specifically paid assassins to take my life." As he said this, Liu Ziyun's expression became serious.

Seeing this, Dr. Liu frowned slightly and asked calmly, "Indeed, your current situation is not optimistic! Judging from this, someone has set a trap for you, waiting for you to fall into it! If it weren't for me and Mu Mu, you would definitely be dead. So, can you guess who is behind this?"

Liu Ziyun sat down steadily, picked up the teapot, poured himself a cup of tea, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp, then slammed the teacup down with a crisp sound.

He took a deep breath, as if to calm the turmoil in his heart, before slowly saying, "Besides my few good brothers, there shouldn't be anyone else. Even if it wasn't arranged by them personally, it must have been the work of their relatives."

Doctor Liu raised an eyebrow, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and asked, "Oh? Was this trip arranged by your father, or did you want to come out yourself?"

Liu Ziyun's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile, and he replied softly, "It was the Prime Minister who suggested that I escort the grain this time. He is the Crown Prince's maternal grandfather! Although such an open assassination is unlikely, who knows if he deliberately brought it up in court to use someone else to kill me?"

As he spoke, Liu Ziyun's gaze gradually turned cold, as if it could pierce through one's soul. He clenched his fists tightly, an uncontrollable anger and resentment welling up inside him.

After all, he was a child who had grown up immersed in the power struggles of the imperial harem, and naturally had a deep understanding of the wickedness of human nature. In this treacherous world, how many people can truly maintain a pure and innocent heart?

"Are you really not planning to go back to the military camp or the capital?" Doctor Liu asked Liu Ziyun, while continuing to fiddle with the abacus.

A cold smile crept across Liu Ziyun's lips, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes. He replied in an icy tone, "I'll stay out of the way for now. Let them cause some chaos and see who's jumping around the most."

After saying that, he looked at Doctor Liu, then his expression changed, and he said pitifully, "Third Uncle, I really have nowhere to go. If you don't take me in, I'll probably starve to death. Please take me back to the village!"

Dr. Liu looked at his somewhat childish nephew and smiled helplessly.

Meanwhile, Ruan Mumu first arranged accommodations for the newly purchased people, and then assigned jobs to four young men—to stay in the county town and help Ruan Xiaohai manage the business here. In addition, she also left an old woman to be responsible for their laundry and cooking.

After assigning tasks, Ruan Mumu gave these people a brief training on how to serve customers on a regular basis.

When she finished everything, she suddenly remembered that there was something important she needed to discuss with Doctor Liu. So, she decided to go see Doctor Liu to discuss returning to the village the next day.

"Knock knock knock..." A series of crisp knocks sounded. Ruan Mumu stood at the door and gently knocked on Doctor Liu's door.

"Come in." Doctor Liu's steady voice came from inside the room, calling out to the door without looking up. At the same time, his conversation with Liu Ziyun came to an abrupt end.

The door slowly opened, and Ruan Mumu cautiously walked in, carrying a jar of canned yellow peaches. This wasn't an ordinary ceramic jar, but a modern, transparent glass bottle, filled with plump yellow peaches. Through the crystal-clear glass, one could see the bright yellow, juicy peaches, making one's mouth water.

Liu Ziyun's gaze was drawn to the yellow peaches before him, and his throat involuntarily moved as he swallowed. For Liu Ziyun, food was one of his greatest passions.

Despite having enjoyed countless delicacies and culinary delights since childhood, his craving for food seems to be forever unsatisfied.

"Uncle Liu, stop what you're doing and come try some canned fruit!" Ruan Mumu said with a smile, placing the can of yellow peaches on the table. She then skillfully opened the lid, picked up a pair of chopsticks, took out a piece of yellow peach from the can, and put it into a bowl. Next, she poured some canned fruit juice into the bowl and handed it to Doctor Liu.

Dr. Liu took the bowl, picked up a piece of yellow peach with his chopsticks, and examined it carefully, as if admiring a precious work of art. He took a small bite, savoring the wonderful taste of the peach flesh being mashed in his mouth.

Liu Ziyun, who was standing to the side, could no longer resist the temptation of the food. She picked up her chopsticks and started picking up pieces of yellow peach. Then she poured some canned syrup into her bowl and eagerly put them in her mouth, as if Ruan Mumu would snatch them away if she was too slow.

"Mmm...it's so delicious. Girl, what's this called? I've never seen anything so delicious before," Liu Ziyun asked, her words slightly mumbled as she ate.

Although the palace rules dictated that one should not speak while eating or sleeping, after leaving his own residence, Liu Ziyun let loose and did whatever he pleased, no longer adhering to those damned palace rules.

Looking at this real prince who didn't resemble a prince at all, Ruan Mumu saw that his eating habits were definitely those of a glutton! However, the royal family's genes are really good. Although Liu Ziyun usually eats a lot, he is still slim, which makes Ruan Mumu extremely envious.

"This is called canned yellow peaches. It's not cheap. Isn't it delicious? I think it's from somewhere that it costs twenty taels a can!" Ruan Mumu said with a smile. She remembered reading a time-travel novel where Chun Ya's canned yellow peaches cost twenty taels a can, and they were the kind that were hard to find even with a price.

"Mmm, I've never eaten anything so delicious. You mean this canned fruit? So it's made from fruit? Is the fruit called yellow peach?" Liu Ziyun continued to stuff yellow peaches into his mouth, acting like someone who hadn't eaten in half his life, eating while curiously trying to make conversation.

"Look at you, the way you eat! How can you act like a prince at all?" Ruan Mumu said in a low voice to Liu Ziyun with disdain.

"Then what do you think a prince should be like?" Liu Ziyun put down his chopsticks and looked at Ruan Mumu with amusement.

"Shouldn't they appear detached and indifferent to everything? Not caring much about anything, never showing any particular preference for anything, so as not to let others discover their habits?" Ruan Mumu expressed her understanding.

"Haha, what you're describing is the emperor's habit," Doctor Liu chuckled from the side.

"Have you ever met the Emperor? How do you know so much about these things?" Liu Ziyun asked curiously.

"This electricity... isn't it what the storyteller told us?" Ruan Mumu realized she almost blurted out something, paused for a breath, and changed her answer to something that could only be heard from a source like this.

"Girl, you still haven't answered me if that canned food was made from a fruit called yellow peach." Liu Ziyun started drying the canned food again.

“Yes, that fruit is called yellow peach. Maybe we don’t have yellow peaches in our Beisheng Kingdom! Uncle Liu, have you ever heard of yellow peaches?” Ruan Mumu searched her memory but had never heard of yellow peaches. It’s possible that the original owner of this body had never been outside and had never heard of them.

Doctor Liu shook his head and replied, "I've lived this long and have never seen such fruit before. If you can get some yellow peach saplings, you might as well plant them in Lianshan. You can use them to make canned goods later, and there will definitely be no problem with sales. However, the jars used for canning are not common. The material of the jars is even better than glass, so the cost must be quite high."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mumu's heart stirred. She remembered that she had not yet decided what to plant on the Lianshan Mountain she had bought, and Dr. Liu's words had just enlightened her.

However, it is already autumn, which is not a good time to plant trees. We can make plans first, reclaim the barren hills, dig tree pits, compost them, and plant them next spring.

Thinking of this, Ruan Mumu quickly thanked Doctor Liu and took out a small notebook and pen from her pocket to write down her plan to plant fruit trees.

Liu Ziyun pointed curiously at the small notebook and pen in Ruan Mumu's hand, his eyes full of doubt, and asked, "What is that in your hand?"

Seeing Liu Ziyun's curious expression, Ruan Mumu was afraid he would suddenly reach out and snatch it, so she quickly stuffed the notebook into her bosom, but still handed the pen to him.

She thought to herself, "Are you kidding me? Those are all simplified Chinese characters. If he sees them, it'll be terrible. This font isn't unique to this place. If he thinks I'm a spy for an enemy country, I'm doomed."

"This is called a water-based pen. You can write directly without dipping it in ink, which is much more convenient than a calligraphy brush. However, if you're used to using a calligraphy brush, you might find it a little strange using this kind of pen for the first time." After explaining, Ruan Mumu tried to reach out and take the pen back.

Liu Ziyun nimbly dodged, then quickly stuffed the pen into his pocket, revealing a smug smile, and said, "Since it's already been given to me, it's mine now. Even if I don't know how to use it, I still have to keep it."

Dr. Liu, standing to the side, looked at his nephew with a helpless expression, speechless at his childish behavior, and gently shook his head.

Then, he casually asked, "Ziyun, you're already eighteen this year, are you married yet?"

When Liu Ziyun heard his third uncle ask this question, a hint of embarrassment appeared on his face: "Third Uncle, I've only just turned eighteen. My mother hasn't even started urging me to get married yet!"

Besides, I'm not in a hurry to get married. Once I get married, I won't be able to eat, drink, and have fun as freely as I do now!

Dr. Liu rolled his eyes after hearing this, too lazy to pay any more attention to him. This glutton didn't understand his thoughts at all. Ruan Mumu was a pretty young girl in front of him, and he didn't even know how to leave a good impression on her.

Then he turned to look at Ruan Mumu and continued to ask, "Mumu, besides the canned yellow peaches you just had, do you have any other kinds of canned goods?"

In fact, Dr. Liu thought that canned fruit should be considered a relatively rare item in wealthy families, since the freshness period of fruit is very short. If they could eat canned fruit often, wealthy families would definitely be willing to spend the money.

"Uncle Liu, please wait a moment. I'll go back and check what else is there." Ruan Mumu smiled and nodded to Doctor Liu before turning and leaving the room.

She walked lightly through the corridor and returned to her residence.

A moment later, when she entered Dr. Liu's room again, she was carrying an exquisite tray with several brightly colored, crystal-clear cans of fruit on it.

Looking at the things in Ruan Mumu's hands, Dr. Liu felt a surge of curiosity and anticipation.

He knew these canned fruits must have come from the mysterious place Mumu had told him about, but he still couldn't help but exclaim, "There are so many!" His voice revealed a hint of amazement and joy.

Liu Ziyun's eyes widened, sparkling with excitement.

He stared at the cans of fruit as if they were the most precious treasures in the world.

At this moment, his attention was completely drawn to the spot, and even if his own father were standing in front of him, he probably wouldn't be able to get his attention.

He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Wow... so much! I'm in for a treat tonight!"

"This is canned pineapple, this is canned lychee, this is canned strawberry, this is canned orange, this is canned pear, this is canned hawthorn, this is canned apple..." Ruan Mumu arranged the cans one by one from the tray, introducing them as she went.

"Girl, I can't wait to eat!" Liu Ziyun didn't wait for Ruan Mumu to finish her introduction before hurriedly picking up the can of oranges that looked the best and trying to open it, but...

Ruan Mumu smiled steadily as she watched him struggle to open the can lid.

"Good Mumu, please help me open it quickly!" Liu Ziyun said in a high-pitched voice.

Ruan Mumu and Doctor Liu, who were standing nearby, felt a chill run down their spines when they heard his words and couldn't help but shiver.

This guy is really going all out for a bite to eat.

Ruan Mumu picked up the cans next to her and opened them one by one.

The moment Ruan Mumu opened the bowl, Liu Ziyun rushed to put a piece of food into it with his chopsticks, completely disregarding the fact that his third uncle was still standing there.

What a joke! If something this delicious were available, who would even know who he is?
