Mr. Nie was full of worries. He obviously felt very sleepy and his eyelids were heavy, but he couldn't fall asleep.

Also tossing and turning was Chunyu Yi, who lived in another guest courtyard.

As soon as she lay down, she heard the news that Xiao Xuan's mother had arrived.

"Qinqin..." Chunyu Yi sat up and said with some hesitation: "Do you think I should go and pay a greeting to the third lady?"

Qinqin smiled and said: "The third lady came to Yanmen County five or six days in advance, which shows that she was in a hurry along the way.

It was getting late today, so she wanted to rest early.

What the girl needs to do now is to have a good sleep and appear in front of the Third Madam in high spirits tomorrow. She will definitely like it."

"What you said makes sense." Chunyu Yi lay back down again, stretched out his hand to pat the empty space beside him: "You can sleep with me tonight, and we can still talk for a while."

The two grew up together, and it was common for them to sleep together.

But Qinqin knows his girl so well that if she is allowed to sleep alone, it will not take long for her to fall asleep peacefully.

If the two of them slept together, they would have to talk until midnight every time.

Qinqin sat on the edge of the bed with one side of his body and said softly: "Since the girl is not sleepy yet, I will chat with you for half an hour. No more."

Chunyu Yi said: "Yes, Miss Qinqin!"

Qinqin smiled and said: "Girl, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I never thought that I would celebrate the festival so far away from Ruoshui City."

"Qinqin, are you homesick?"

"There's nothing to think about. Wherever the girl is, that's your slave's home." Qinqin tucked the quilt for her: "The third lady is in such a hurry, she probably wants to spend the festival with her son.

But the young commander is not in Yanmen County at this time, so she must be a little regretful.

And if he still goes to fight with the Beirong people, the third lady will definitely be very worried."

Chunyu Yi hummed softly.

The mother is worried when her son travels thousands of miles, let alone going on a war expedition.

The third lady is in that situation, how could her mood be as simple as "worry".

Such a good wife and mother should be safe and happy for the rest of her life.

If she and Xiao Xuan are really destined, she will definitely take good care of his mother with him.

※※※※

Early the next morning, Chun Yuyi was dressing up when Xiao Shan came over.

Seeing that Chunyu Yi's eyelids were slightly swollen, she asked with a smile: "How did sister Yi'er sleep well last night?"

Qinqin put down the comb in his hand, pouted and said: "Our girl is not obedient at all. She only chats with slaves late at night.

When she woke up early this morning, her eyelids were swollen, and my servant applied cold water on her for a while before she felt better."

Xiao Shan looked at the beautiful young girl in the mirror and said with a smile: "Qinqin's requirements are too high. Sister Yi'er is so naturally beautiful that I can't bear to take my eyes away."

She picked a jade hairpin and inserted it into it for Chun Yuyi, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Third Sister will take you to pay her respects to Third Aunt."

Xiang Chi's rank is not too high, but Yanmen County is vast and sparsely populated, and his mansion occupies a very large area.

It took the group a quarter of an hour to arrive at Nie's yard.

Mrs. Nie had already dressed up and ordered her maids Zhongfang to wait outside the main room.

When Zhongfang saw Chunyu Yi, they praised him again.

Seeing that she was gentle and approachable, Chunyu Yi's inner nervousness faded a lot.

Xiao Shan held her hand and they walked into the main room together.

"Third Aunt, I have brought Sister Yi'er to say hello to you." Xiao Shan blessed herself and walked to Mr. Nie's side with a smile.

Chunyu Yiduan saluted solemnly: "My little daughter has met the third lady."

Mr. Nie already felt pity for her, but now that he saw how beautiful, elegant, gentle and well-behaved she was, he fell in love with her even more.

"Good boy, come here and sit down." She smiled and waved to Chunyu Yi.

Chunyu Yi walked slowly to her side and sat down with Xiao Shan.

Mr. Nie asked her her age and maiden name cordially, and Chunyu Yi answered her questions one by one.

"Yier, you and Xiaojiu are good sisters, and you and Ah Shan are so in sync with each other. For now, just follow them and call me Third Aunt."

"Yes, third aunt."

"What a well-behaved and good child." Mr. Nie raised his hand and gently smoothed the broken hair on her forehead.

Seeing this, Zhongfang on the side came over holding a small box.

Nie took the small box and opened it gently: "This is a jade lock given by the elders to the third aunt when she was young. It is said that it was made by a very skilled craftsman in the previous dynasty.

I have only liked reading since I was a child, and I know nothing about these things. I have not been able to find the trick to open it for so many years.

Yi'er Bingxue is smart and well-educated, so my third aunt will give you this jade lock."

This gift was sent to Chunyu Yi's heart.

Compared to making weapons, she is more interested in these gadgets that are exquisitely crafted and contain mechanism skills.

"Thank you, Third Aunt. I have loved studying mechanism techniques since I was a child. I like this gift very much."

Nie smiled and put the small box into Chunyu Yi's hand: "Last night, I heard your third sister say that you still have such great abilities, and then I realized that I had not chosen the wrong gift. I think it was fate."

Chunyu Yi gently closed the lid and then said: "Third Aunt, Wei Jing is so far away from Yanmen County, aren't you tired from traveling all the way?"

Nie sighed: "Originally, I thought that as long as I hurried on my journey, I could spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with you, but I didn't expect that Xiao Wu would go on an expedition.

But that’s okay. I have no regrets about being able to spend the festival with your grandfather and Ashan’s family this year, especially the city lord and Yi’er.”

Chunyu Yi felt a little sad for her, but she felt that this feeling was very fresh.

She has never left Ruoshui City since she was a child and cannot see outsiders. Every Mid-Autumn Festival she enjoys the moon with her father and listens to him recall the days he spent with his mother.

Er Niang and her younger brother couldn't see her either, so they had to go back to Li Mansion to celebrate the festival with her mother's family.

Er Niang complained a lot about this, and even had several disagreements with her father.

So she celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, but she never knows what it feels like to have a family reunited.

This year she left her hometown and was thousands of miles away in a foreign land, but she was able to spend the holidays with so many relatives and friends. This feeling was really magical.

It's a pity that Xiao Xuan is not here, which is indeed a pity.

At this time, he didn’t know where he was. He had already come into contact with the Beirong people...

"Yier, the customs in Ruoshui City should be similar to those in the Wei Dynasty, right?" Xiao Shan's question interrupted her thoughts.

Chunyu Yi smiled hurriedly and said: "Although they are not exactly the same, the customs and habits of the New Year are similar."

Xiao Shan smiled and said: "After lunch later, I will ask your third brother-in-law to go to the camp and bring your grandfather and your father back to the house. Tomorrow our family will have a good Mid-Autumn Festival."

Chunyu Yi said: "Third sister, I want to go for a walk on the street, is that okay?"
