After dinner, the house was cleaned up.
After several days of traveling, everyone was finally able to rest in peace.
Li Nian took advantage of Jin He's sleep and went to Li Sisi's room and asked, "Did you see Aunt Pei today?"
Logically speaking, Aunt Pei should have come since she knew they were back.
"When I was in the capital, I brought some gifts for Aunt Pei. Shall we go give them to her together tomorrow morning?"
"Don't go," Li Sisi waved her hand. "I heard from the neighbor that the Pei family moved to Xidi City some time ago."
Hearing this, Li Nian asked in surprise, "In which city is Xiao Yunyu?"
Li Sisi nodded: "Yes, yes."
"That's okay. We can deliver it after we get to Xidi. Let's buy some things and send them to our neighbors tomorrow morning, and then set off again, shall we?" Li Nian said.
Li Sisi responded, "Well, I received a lot of things from them today, so I need to return the favor."
Li Nian stood up and said, "Then you should rest early. I'll go back first."
"good."
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The night wind brought down the heat of the day.
The next morning, the two best friends got up early and took Jinhe out to have breakfast on the street.
Buy some gifts by the way.
The two of them delivered gifts to each household, just like they did in previous years when they visited neighbors during the first lunar month, sitting and chatting for a while.
Before I knew it, it was noon.
The two best friends thanked the neighbor aunts for their enthusiastic invitation to lunch and returned home.
At this time, Yu Niang had already prepared the meal.
"You're finally back. Why didn't you call me when you went out to play on the street?" Xiao Yunya pouted, her tone a little unhappy.
"Since you were asleep, I didn't disturb you." Li Nian had already sat down at the dining table while speaking. "Since you're hungry, let's eat quickly."
A few people sat down, had their meal, and rested for the night.
Early the next morning, before the sky was fully bright, the group continued their journey to Xidi City.
It was getting dark when they arrived at the outskirts of Xidi City.
Xiaobai suggested, "Madam, how about I go into the city first and inform the master?"
Li Nian pondered for a moment and said calmly, "No, it won't take that long."
As they got closer to Xidi City, the three people in the carriage had different moods.
Li Sisi felt like she was finally free from her shackles and was enjoying the freedom she had gained.
So for the last leg of the journey, she changed from riding in a carriage to riding on horseback.
Xiao Yunya was nervous and excited about meeting her lover.
Li Nian felt confused.
Thinking of that jade token, whose authenticity I don’t know, will it still be the same as before when I see the man I haven’t seen for a long time?
She couldn't deceive herself into not caring about that matter, nor could she believe everything Xiao Yunyu said without any doubt.
But she couldn't even question it, after all, "lying" was the easiest thing to do.
With a confused and tangled mood, the carriage entered the city of Xidi.
A group of armored soldiers lined up to greet them.
At this time, the sunset glow has completely disappeared in the sky, and the evening stars are dotted in the dark night sky.
At the front of the army were two men.
The taller one was wearing a black brocade robe embroidered with golden cloud patterns, and his hands were empty.
The shorter man next to him was still wearing heavy armor and had a long sword hanging at his waist.
Li Sisi rode her horse beside Li Nian's carriage and could see the situation on the opposite side clearly.
She smiled and said, "Nian Nian, your husband is here to pick you up."
Xiao Yunyu heard Li Sisi's voice and determined Li Nian's location.
Instruct Qi Heng to take Xiaobai with him and arrange accommodation for him.
He strode towards the carriage in the middle of the team.
As soon as he opened the car curtain, he saw Xiao Yunya smiling and calling out, "Brother."
Xiao Yunyu didn't expect that Xiao Yunya and Li Nian were riding in the same carriage. Seeing that there were two carriages in their team, he thought that Xiao Yunya had a bad relationship with her two sisters-in-law, so this was a special arrangement.
"Well, come down."
Xiao Yunya was stunned for a moment when she heard this, but still got off the carriage obediently.
After all, her elder brother has a bad temper, and she dare not provoke him.
Li Nian hadn't figured out how to respond when she saw Xiao Yunyu, but she felt that Xiao Yunya had just gone down, and the next moment Xiao Yunyu jumped onto the carriage and sat next to her.
"Niannian~" The man's low voice was sweet and tender, without any trace of strangeness after a short separation.
Li Nian said "hmm" softly.
The carriage continued to move forward.
The sound of horse hooves drowned out the creaking sound of wheels rolling over the bluestone pavement.
It was so dark inside the carriage that there was almost no light.
Li Nian could only vaguely feel that there was someone sitting next to him, but he couldn't see the other person's expression at all.
But the scorching gaze fixed on her seemed real.
The silence between the two lasted only two seconds before Li Nian was hugged tightly by a hot embrace, and a low-pitched voice accompanied by a burning breath invaded her ears.
"Nian Nian~"
Li Nian said "hmm", lowered her eyes and pursed her lips, and said nothing else.
"Did you miss me?"
Li Nian answered truthfully, in a calm tone: "Yes."
But the man didn't care about these things at all, and said, "Now that you're back this time, why don't you leave? Wait for me to return to Beijing together?"
"Let's talk about it when we get back." Li Nian thought about it and decided that he should ask clearly.
Because she felt that Xiao Yunyu didn't seem to take her last question to heart.
"I'll show you something when we get back," she added.
Xiao Yunyu raised his eyebrows in the darkness, and asked with a curled lip: "Could it be... Nian Nian also brought me a gift?"
Li Nian heard the joy in his tone and paused for a moment, "Well, a great gift."
