Rebirth is not a dream.

As night fell and the lights came on, Su Yue and Sister Bijun strolled in the courtyard after dinner, enjoying the tranquility and leisure.

"Sister Bijun, are you used to staying here? I've been so busy with Yaoyao's affairs that I forgot to ask you." Su Yue asked softly, with a hint of concern in her eyes.

He Bijun smiled and replied, "Everything is fine. These days, I have been doing needlework with Qiuye and the others in the backyard, which is very interesting. In addition, Aunt Tao is also very enthusiastic. She not only taught me many rules and etiquette of the Marquis' Mansion, but also gave me a lot of guidance in life. I am really grateful for this opportunity to learn so many things."

Su Yue nodded after hearing this, expressing her satisfaction. She knew that Sister Bijun had always been diligent and studious, and now she could find something she liked in the Marquis' Mansion and gain something from it, which was really a happy thing.

Su Yue asked worriedly, "Where's Xingyu? Why didn't I see him? How is he?" He Bijun smiled softly and replied, "He is in the front yard every day pestering Qiu Sheng to teach him kung fu."

Hearing this, Su Yue frowned slightly, and couldn't help but feel a little confused. She continued to ask: "Oh, did Qiu Sheng teach him?" He Bijun nodded and said: "Yes, he practices horse stance in the front yard every day."

Su Yue felt a little relieved, but at the same time she was curious about why Xing Yu was so keen on learning martial arts.

Thinking about it, Su Yue decided to go to the front yard to see Xingyu practicing martial arts. When she arrived at the front yard, she saw Xingyu squatting on the ground with full concentration, his hands raised horizontally, legs slightly bent, trying to keep his balance. Qiu Sheng stood aside, carefully guiding Xingyu's movements.

Seeing Xingyu's serious and focused look, Su Yue showed a gratified smile on her face. Perhaps, this is what Xingyu loves. I hope he can stick to it and learn something.

When Su Yue and He Bijun discussed the matter of Yaoyao's 100-day banquet tomorrow, she decided to entrust He Bijun to help receive those who came to give gifts. So the two walked side by side, enjoying the beauty of the night and chatting about family matters as they pleased.

The moonlight, as white as silver and as soft as water, poured down, illuminating the earth; at the same time, it also reflected their figures leaning on each other. This warm and harmonious scene is like a beautiful painting, which makes people deeply intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

Su Yue felt like it was just daybreak when Taozi and Chenxiang came in to ask her to get up, saying that someone would be here soon. Su Yue thought, is it so troublesome to hold a small family dinner? She would not have done it earlier. However, she still sat in front of the dressing table and let Chenxiang do her makeup.

Su Yue looked through the bronze mirror at Chen Xiang's hands moving through her hair, and soon she had combed it into a beautiful bun. "Miss, you are so beautiful." Chen Xiang said with a smile.

"Sweet talk." Su Yue also smiled.

Taozi stood aside with a mischievous smile on her face, and said jokingly: "Look, when our young lady was in Jiangdu, she was a first-class beauty! At that time, there were so many people who came to propose marriage that the door was almost broken! If it weren't for the old Duke's successful proposal, it would be hard to predict who our young lady would marry! How could she suffer such humiliation here."

Just as Taozi was talking excitedly, Aunt Tao came in. When she heard what Taozi said, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly stopped her, saying, "You little girl, you are too careless with your mouth! Gossiping nonsense, be careful not to cause yourself a fatal disaster and implicate the young lady!" Taozi was frightened and trembled all over. She immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly lowered her head and apologized sincerely.

Su Yue also noticed that Taozi's words were inappropriate, and warned her in a serious tone: "You must be careful with your words and actions in the future. The water in this mansion is deep, and it is not as simple and easy to get along with as it seems. If one day even I can't protect you, the consequences will be disastrous."

There was a commotion outside the door, and Qiu Zhu came in and said, "Yan Yan is here with Miss Yao Yao."

Su Yue: "It's still early, let them play in the children's room for a while. Ask them if they have had breakfast and send them some snacks." Su Yue had just finished a simple breakfast, but she didn't expect that there would be guests visiting, and many of them came to give gifts. Fortunately, Su Yue arranged for Sister Bijun to be responsible for the reception in advance, otherwise the scene would be a mess. "It seems that the guests have arrived."

Su Yue stood up quickly, straightened her clothes, and walked towards the door. As soon as she went out, she saw a group of people in gorgeous clothes walking into the yard. The eldest young lady led a young woman in gorgeous clothes, and Su Yue didn't recognize her, but she didn't send invitations to outsiders.

Su Yue originally thought that it was just a small family dinner, and that not all the people from the several rooms in the mansion would be able to come, but she did not expect that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion also sent someone, it was their family's eldest granddaughter-in-law Zhou, the young woman brought in by the eldest young lady. Zhou was from Wuzhou in Jiangnan, not far from Su Yue's Jiangdu. Several relatives in Kyoto also sent gifts. Su Yue smiled and greeted the eldest young lady and Zhou. The eldest young lady introduced: "This is the granddaughter-in-law Zhou of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion." Su Yue was secretly surprised that she was from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, and she bowed respectfully.

Zhou quickly helped Su Yue up and said with a smile, "We are all family, there is no need to be so polite. I came here today specially to see my niece Yaoyao." Su Yue thanked them with a smile and invited them into the house to sit down.

Su Yue suddenly realized that Qin Yan, the Marquis of Xuanping, was actually the cousin of the old Duke! And he was also the son of Princess Yongfu! In this case, Qin Yan must be her great-uncle! Thinking of this, Su Yue couldn't help but wonder: "This relative is so close to my family, but why did he come here on his own initiative when I didn't send him an invitation?" She pondered secretly, but couldn't figure out the reason.

Su Yue knew that she did not have much ability and prestige, and it was impossible for her to get the other party to visit her by herself. At the same time, she also knew that with the attitude of the An Ning Marquisate towards her, they would never give her the face to help her invite such a distinguished guest. So what was the reason that prompted this young lady Zhou to come uninvited?

Is it just because everyone is far away from home and married in the capital that this young lady Zhou wants to get close to me? Su Yue shook her head, thinking that this possibility is very small. After all, in the eyes of those noble families, women like her who come from merchants are often regarded as inferior, and even become the target of public criticism and avoidance.

After thinking it over and over again, Su Yue still couldn't figure it out. She simply stopped struggling with it. She told herself: "When you reach the mountain, there will always be a way out. When you reach the bridge, you will naturally know the truth." So, she decided to let things take their course and wait for things to develop and see what would happen next...

What is even more surprising is that the rumored Xuanping Marquis Mansion is actually a rare family that does not take concubines! You know, in this era, it is common for men to take concubines, but Xuanping Marquis can stick to this tradition, which is rare! This uncle must be a man of deep affection and loyalty, right? Perhaps it is precisely because of this deep affection and loyalty that the Xuanping Marquis Mansion has become famous and respected in the capital!

At this moment, Su Yue was full of curiosity and yearning for Xuanping Marquis Mansion. She imagined that every blade of grass, every house and every tile there seemed to reveal a different atmosphere. And what kind of person was that mysterious and admirable uncle? Was he as handsome and elegant as the legend said? It was rare to have such a family motto in this era!

At this time, several more guests arrived, and Su Yue was busy welcoming them. For a while, the yard was very lively. She was secretly glad that Bijun helped to entertain them, otherwise she would really be a little overwhelmed.
