She gently closed her eyes and took a deep breath, feeling the fresh and mysterious breath blending with the emotions deep in her heart at the moment.

"When will the bright moon appear? I raise my cup to ask the blue sky." Her voice was low and melodious, like the strings of a guqin being gently plucked, making a clear and pleasant sound.

Each word contained endless loneliness and sadness, which moved people. She shook her head slowly, her fingers dancing lightly in the air, as if playing an invisible music, resonating with the poet of that distant era.

In this scene, she couldn't help but close her eyes and hum the melody of the song naturally. Her humming was soft and melodious, like a stream of clear water flowing by, and did not attract anyone's attention. However, when she began to sing for the second time, the people around her gradually stopped talking and turned their eyes to her.

Although her face showed a contented expression and she seemed immersed in her own musical world, they could feel an indescribable loneliness and solitude from her singing.

The song seemed to tell the story in her heart, making people want to know more about her inner world. Everyone listened silently, unwilling to break the silence for fear of disturbing her interest.

As time went by, she repeated the song over and over again, and her voice became more and more affectionate and moving. Every time she sang it, it seemed like she was pouring out her inner pain and helplessness, which was heartbreaking. Although she did not express her emotions directly, the emotions conveyed through her singing had deeply touched everyone present.

"How about we all write poems?" Jiang Xue suggested, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.

"What's the theme?" Jiang Yu asked curiously, quite interested in this proposal.

"How about taking the moon as the theme?" After thinking for a moment, Zhong Ziqi smiled and made a suggestion.

"Okay!" Jiang Xue and Jiang Yu agreed in unison.

Mr. Jiang also nodded, indicating his support for the proposal. Thus, an impromptu poetry writing activity with the moon as the theme started at the dinner table.

Jiang Xue started by saying, "The bright moon is shining in the sky, and its clear light is spreading across the world. I wish every year could be like this night, with families reunited and enjoying endless joy."

Jiang Yu then chanted: "The moon is bright in the sky, and the moon is full in the water. We are thousands of miles apart, but we are still together. This feeling and scene are the most unforgettable."

Zhong Ziqi was not to be outdone. After thinking for a moment, he began to chant: "The moonlight is like water pouring down on the window, and the bright light fills the room in the endless night. Looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, my mind is filled with thousands of emotions that cannot be let go."

After hearing this, Mr. Jiang burst into laughter. He was also infected by everyone's enthusiasm, so he also started to compose a poem: "The moon is above the treetops, and we make appointments after dusk. I have wine tonight and I will get drunk tonight, and I don't care where I will go tomorrow."

"How about a song, Mr. Bai?" Jiang Xue noticed that Bai Yufeng had been drinking with his head down, so she asked softly.

Bai Yufeng was interrupted by this gentle call and looked up at Jiang Xue, with a flash of surprise in his eyes. He smiled slightly, put down the wine glass, cleared his throat, and began to compose a poem.

After a moment, he began to chant: "The moon's shadow dances gracefully, and its silver light shines all over the world. The breeze blows my heart and I am relaxed and happy. I raise my glass to invite the moon to share my beauty."

His voice was deep and magnetic, and his poems revealed a sense of tranquility and indifference. After listening to his poem, everyone nodded in praise, and Jiang Xue also smiled in appreciation.

Bai Yufeng continued to drink with his head down, but there was a hint of tenderness in his eyes. He seemed to be attracted by Jiang Xue's clear eyes, and an inexplicable emotion surged in his heart.

"Come on, let's continue." Jiang Xue spoke again, her voice full of enthusiasm and vitality, breaking the brief silence.

Everyone was infected by her enthusiasm and expressed their agreement. Thus, an impromptu poetry writing activity with the moon as the theme began again.

Not wanting to be outdone, Jiang Yu continued chanting: "On the night of the full moon I miss my hometown, gazing at the horizon with tears soaking my clothes. I wish you long life, so that we can enjoy the moon together even though we are thousands miles apart." Her poems reveal a hint of homesickness, yet she also maintains a beautiful expectation for the future.

Zhong Ziqi was also inspired. He smiled and chanted: "The moonlight is like water, shining brightly, the night is hazy like a dream. I raise my cup to invite the bright moon, and my shadow and I become three people." His poems are full of romance and fantasy.

Old Master Jiang was also infected by everyone's enthusiasm. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The moon is on the high building and I can see all directions. The stars are shining brightly in the sky. The world is so beautiful, why not raise a toast and celebrate together." His poems reveal an open-minded and optimistic attitude.

As everyone finished their poems, the atmosphere in the courtyard became more and more heated. Everyone either sang softly or recited loudly, as if immersed in this wonderful poem. The moon seemed to be infected by everyone's enthusiasm, and it hung quietly in the night sky, listening to this moving poem.

"Thank you." After finishing the poem, Jiang Xue turned to Bai Yufeng, her eyes full of gratitude.

Bai Yufeng shook his head and said with a smile, "Do you like it? I was afraid you wouldn't like it, so I modified it many times. Also, I have installed all the new things you gave me, but the paint on many pieces of furniture has not dried yet."

Jiang Xue nodded and replied, "Thank you, I have seen them this afternoon, they are all great. You are really thoughtful."

Bai Yufeng continued, "You're welcome. It's just that there is still some work that has not been completed. Our construction team is already working overtime, and we are striving to have electricity available to every household in the village in half a month."

After hearing this, Jiang Xue's eyes flashed with surprise: "Really? That's great! Our lives will be much more convenient after electricity is connected."

"Okay, that's all for today. I hope everyone has had a good time. We still have to harvest crops tomorrow, so go to bed early." Old Master Jiang stood up and interrupted everyone's conversation. He turned to Zhong Ziqi and Bai Yufeng and said, "Master Zhong and Master Bai will stay at the Jiang residence tonight. The guest room has been cleaned up this afternoon. Don't go back if it's too late."

Zhong Ziqi and Bai Yufeng smiled at each other, then stood up to thank Mr. Jiang: "Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Jiang. We are sorry to bother you tonight."

Jiang Feng also stood up and said to the two guests: "I'll take you to the guest room. Just tell me if you need anything."

So, under the guidance of Jiang Feng, Zhong Ziqi and Bai Yufeng came to the guest room that had been prepared long ago.

As the night deepened, the entire Jiang residence gradually quieted down. Tomorrow will be a busy day, but on this beautiful Mid-Autumn Festival night, everyone felt the warmth of home and the joy of reunion.

The next day, Jiang Xue woke up early. She opened her eyes and looked at the antique bedroom. She couldn't help but feel like she had traveled back to the modern times. She sat up, stretched, and felt the fresh air in the morning.

She opened the bedroom window, and the sky had begun to brighten. The sun shone through the clouds onto the earth, covering the world with a golden coat. She took a deep breath of fresh air, feeling the tranquility and beauty.

The smoke from the kitchen drifted into the bedroom with the aroma of food. After a while, Chen Yuxi came in with a basin of steaming water. She asked softly, "Dong...Dong, are you up, Miss?"

Jiang Xue heard the voice, turned around, and replied with a smile: "Come in!"

Chen Yuxi walked in carefully, placed the hot water basin beside the bed, and said softly: "Miss, the water is ready, you can wash up."

Jiang Xue nodded, stood up, walked to the basin and started washing.
