Rebirth is not a dream.

In early winter, the weather in the capital has gradually turned cold. Su Yue looked at the scene outside the window and couldn't help feeling a little worried: "It's a bit cold today. Should I wait for my aunt's family to arrive at the city gate before going out to greet them?" She felt that this would not only protect her from the cold, but also show respect to her aunt's family. However, when she asked the maid next to her, she got a different answer.

The next morning, before dawn, Su Yue was awakened by a knock on the door. She opened the door sleepily and saw a maid standing outside, telling her that she needed to go to the gate immediately to wait for the arrival of her aunt's family. Su Yue was worried, but she quickly put on her clothes, put on a thick cloak, and followed the maid to the gate.

Standing at the door, Su Yue shivered, holding the edge of her cloak tightly with both hands, trying to resist the cold. She stamped her feet to keep warm, and looked anxiously into the distance, hoping that her aunt's family would show up soon. Time passed, and Su Yue felt as if she had been standing in the cold wind for more than two hours, but her aunt's family still did not show up.

"Why haven't they come yet? I'm freezing..." Su Yue couldn't help but complain in a low voice. She began to regret listening to the maid's words. She should have insisted on her own opinion and waited until the eldest aunt's family was about to reach the city gate before coming out to greet them. Now, not only did she have to endure the severe cold, but she also had to worry about whether she would catch a cold or get sick.

Just as Su Yue was daydreaming, she suddenly thought of a question: "Since cotton is so scarce and expensive, why not plant more? If you plant a lot of cotton, you might be able to make a lot of money!" This thought flashed through her mind, and her eyes lit up. She decided to find ways and methods to grow cotton when she had time.

However, at this moment, Su Yue was still standing in the cold wind, feeling the biting chill. She sighed helplessly and thought, "Alas, it's useless to say this now, let's think about how to deal with the current predicament first." She continued to stamp her feet, hoping to keep her body warm.

At this moment, an extremely gorgeous carriage slowly drove over, the wheels rolled and creaked, and finally stopped steadily in front of the door. The curtain was lifted, and a woman in luxurious clothes got out of the carriage. She was elegant and kind, and her status was obviously extraordinary. Behind her, followed closely by a young woman and a young girl.

Seeing this, Madam Hou hurried forward with a warm smile on her face. "Sister, you are finally here! I have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, and finally you are back!" Madam Hou was so excited that her eyes were slightly moist.

The eldest aunt also smiled and greeted the Marquis's wife. "Sister-in-law, it's been a long time since we last met. How have you been these years? Is everything okay?" she asked with concern.

The marquis's wife nodded repeatedly and replied with a smile, "Everything is fine, sister, don't worry. Come in quickly, mother is waiting for you in Chunhui Courtyard." As she spoke, she led everyone into the mansion.

The eldest aunt asked in confusion, "Why is my brother-in-law not here? Didn't he come back with you?" The Marquis's wife smiled and explained, "My brother-in-law has gone to report on his work first."

The eldest aunt frowned and complained somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Why is he like this? He just came back and didn't even take a rest first, but rushed into the palace." The Marquis's wife comforted her: "Brother-in-law has always been like this, wholeheartedly serving the public, and very concerned about the affairs of the court."

The eldest aunt shook her head helplessly and sighed, "He is a blockhead and stubborn. This time when he came back to Beijing, he should have gone home to rest, but he had to rush to the palace to report on his work."

Everyone arrived at Chunhui Courtyard. When the eldest aunt saw the old lady, she hurried forward to greet her and said, "Hello, mother. May mother be healthy." The young women and girls following behind the eldest aunt also hurried forward and said in unison, "Hello, grandma. Hello, grandma." Seeing this, the old lady quickly responded, "Get up quickly. No need to be polite. It's just that I don't know who these two are?" The eldest aunt hurriedly replied with a smile, "Oh, mother, this is my second daughter-in-law, Xu." After that, the eldest aunt took the girl beside her to the old lady and introduced, "And this little girl is my youngest daughter Yang Jingjing." When the old lady heard this, she smiled and hurriedly took Xu's hand and said affectionately, "So that's it! This is the daughter-in-law of Anzhi! I'm so happy! This time, Anzhi was able to pass the second class and ranked ninth, which really made us proud! By the way, I heard that he is on his way back, and you will be able to see him later!"

Xu lowered her head shyly, with a faint blush on her face, as shy and lovely as the peach blossoms blooming in spring. She lowered her eyes slightly, not daring to look directly at others, but she would secretly look up from time to time to observe the reactions of the people around her.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled brightly, hugged Yang Jingjing affectionately, and looked at her face carefully, her eyes full of love and joy. She gently stroked Yang Jingjing's hair and asked softly, "Let grandma take a good look at her. What a beautiful little girl! How old is she this year?"

Yang Jingjing lowered her head shyly and replied softly, "Granddaughter, thirteen."

The old lady nodded with satisfaction and continued, "Then you will be a 15-year-old girl in your 50s! Have you found a good family?"

Yang Jingjing's cheeks became more and more rosy, and she lowered her head and said nothing. The eldest aunt beside her said, "Not yet, the child is still young, there is no rush."

At this time, the Marquis's wife spoke at the right time to break the deadlock, and said with a smile: "My eldest aunt and her family must be exhausted after the long journey. Why don't we move to Yuqing Courtyard to rest for a while, and then gather together in the evening to have a good time!"
