Rebirth is not a dream.

Su Yue stood quietly aside, her eyes fixed on the busy figures of Tao Mama and several maids. They were carefully sorting out the New Year gifts sent by Old Man Su, and the variety of items was dazzling.

The first thing that caught my eye was a pile of exquisite furs. Aunt Tao said happily, "These leathers can be used to make warm cloaks, which will definitely fit perfectly." She skillfully picked up a piece of leather and stroked it gently, as if she had already seen what the finished product would look like.

Then, Su Yue noticed the colorful plain brocade, snow satin and soft smoke silk. Their colors were poetic and picturesque, especially the rare rain-after-sky blue, silver red and plain silk, which added a bit of mystery and nobility. Su Yue secretly marveled in her heart that these beautiful fabrics would become gorgeous clothes.

However, when Aunt Tao mentioned that there were still a few pieces of cotton cloth, Su Yue realized that cotton cloth was such a scarce resource in this era. Only nobles and wealthy people could afford this comfortable and practical fabric. It seemed that her understanding of this era was still limited. Su Yue looked at so many pieces of cloth and said, "You guys can pick the ones you like and make clothes with them."

Several maids said with joy on their faces, "Thank you, Miss." Then they each picked out a piece of cloth they liked.

At this time, Yanyan and Bijun came in together. When Su Yue saw them, she said, "Sister Bijun, Yanyan, the two of you should come and pick out some fabrics you like. You can take them back and make beautiful dresses."

Bijun responded gratefully: "Thank you, sister."

Yanyan also hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Third Young Madam."

Su Yue smiled and waved her hands, saying, "Don't be so formal with me, both of you. Pick out some more cloth suitable for children. I'm not good at needlework, so you can only do it yourself. If you are too busy, find some embroiderers to help you. The New Year is coming soon, and everyone should wear new clothes. New Year, new atmosphere!"

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Su Yue thought to herself that no matter what era it is, preparing New Year's goods is always a happy thing! However, when the Chinese New Year comes, she is not so excited. After all, she is happiest when preparing these things!

Dongqing came with Fubao and Xingyu, and they watched everyone pick out New Year's goods. Su Yue saw that the children had all arrived, so she quickly took out some candied fruits and gave them to the children.

Fubao can now call her "Aniang"! As soon as he saw Suyue, he kept calling her "Aniang, Aniang..." Suyue was so happy when she heard it that she picked up Fubao and asked, "What does Fubao like?"

Fubao pointed at the snacks in the box and muttered, "Eat...eat..."

Su Yue looked at Fu Bao's cute appearance and couldn't help laughing. Then she said lovingly, "Little foodie, come here. Mommy will give you some small milk cake, okay?"

Fu Bao looked at Su Yue with his big eyes flashing and said, "Okay."

Just when everyone was trying to get Fubao to talk more, Qin Yi walked in from outside. He originally thought that there were only a few people in the room, but he didn't expect so many people to gather here. Seeing Qin Yi coming, everyone stood up and saluted him to show their respect.

However, among this group of people, Su Yue seemed a little reluctant. She bowed to Qin Yi reluctantly, complaining in her heart: These ancient people are so polite! Even wives have to bow to their husbands, which is really annoying. But she also understands that if she doesn't bow, she might be accused of being ignorant of etiquette and lack of education. After all, in this era, the importance of reputation sometimes even exceeds life itself. A bad reputation may bring endless troubles and troubles to oneself, and even endanger one's life.

Su Yue sighed helplessly, thinking: This kind of red tape is really annoying! She couldn't help but miss the freedom and equality of modern society. In that era, people got along more simply and directly, without so many cumbersome etiquette constraints. But now, she is in ancient times, so she must adapt to the rules and customs here, even if she resists in her heart, she has to force herself to abide by them.

Qin Yi sat at the main seat. Taozi walked to Qin Yi with light steps, carefully placed the tea on the table next to Qin Yi, and nodded slightly to the others. Seeing this, everyone bowed to Qin Yi and left. In the blink of an eye, only Qin Yi, Su Yue and Fu Bao, who was held in Su Yue's arms, were left in the spacious room.

Su Yue held Fu Bao in her arms and sat down gently beside Qin Yi, saying in a tender voice, "Sanlang returned home very early today."

Qin Yi turned to look at Su Yue, with a smile on his face, and replied softly: "It is the end of the year now, there are not many courses in the academy, and most students are reviewing their book knowledge, so I can naturally come back earlier."

After hearing this, Su Yue blinked her beautiful eyes and continued, "Sanlang came back to review his lessons? Then will Fubao and I disturb your studies if we are here?"

Qin Yi reached out and touched Fubao's little face, then stared at Su Yue and responded gently: "I didn't come back to review my studies, but I wanted to come back to see you. Did my father-in-law send any New Year gifts?"

Su Yue nodded lightly and replied, "Well, Daddy sent quite a few New Year gifts."

Qin Yi then asked: "Have you sent them all to the mansion?"

Su Yue nodded again and said, "Yes, there are too many New Year gifts. We can't use them all, and most of them are food and daily necessities."

Qin Yi looked at Su Yue, his eyes full of determination and concern. He solemnly warned: "In the future, remember not to place all your belongings in the public house."

Su Yue couldn't help but exclaimed: "Ah?" She stared at Qin Yi with a puzzled look on her face, and asked in confusion: "Why is it so? Isn't it good to store things in the public place? In this way, everyone can use it."

Qin Yi frowned slightly and explained earnestly: "How many of the items you delivered before will be distributed to us in the end?" Su Yue suddenly realized what Qin Yi was worried about. Indeed, after the public property was distributed through layers of distribution, only a few of them actually reached their hands.

Qin Yi held Su Yue's hands tightly and continued, "If there are precious things in the future, we should keep them for ourselves. As the saying goes, a little bit of rice is a favor, a big bit of rice is a grudge. If you don't give away in the future, it will become your fault." Qin Yi felt that Su Yue had raised the hearts of the people in the mansion in this way, which was not a good thing for both parties. One day, the Marquis' Mansion would think that Su Yue's support for the Marquis' Mansion was a matter of course, but this was not something Su Yue should worry about after all.

Su Yue nodded repeatedly, indicating that she understood Qin Yi's deep meaning, "I understand." Thinking about the fact that they still had Fubao and Yaoyao to raise in their courtyard, she said, "It's also true that we still have two children to raise now, and there will definitely be a lot of places where we will need money in the future."

Qin Yi looked at Fubao, with a hint of fondness in his eyes, and said softly: "You seem to like Fubao very much." Su Yue smiled slightly, gently stroked Fubao's hair, and said with emotion: "Children are always innocent and lovable, but they will always grow up, and maybe they will no longer be as cute as they are now." Qin Yi nodded deeply, indicating his agreement: "Yes, growth is inevitable."

Fubao was not familiar with Qin Yi. He seemed a little reserved and afraid of this stranger. He snuggled tightly in Su Yue's arms and looked at Qin Yi timidly. Su Yue gently stroked Fubao's head and said to him softly, "This is daddy, call daddy quickly." However, Fubao refused to raise his head, but buried his little head deep in Su Yue's arms, and didn't even dare to look at Qin Yi again.

Su Yue turned to look at Qin Yi and said helplessly: "You can't always have a stern face, you have to smile more at the child, you see he is frightened by you." After hearing this, Qin Yi tried to make his expression more gentle and kind, but it didn't seem to have a very good effect. Su Yue didn't want to see Fubao so restrained, so she called Dongqing to take Fubao out to play, hoping to relax him. Su Yue didn't want Fubao, who she had just raised to be a little childish, to be frightened by Qin Yi and return to the dull look when he first came.
