Chapter 75 Dream

Shen Yuan took the money her father gave her and went on a shopping spree with her cousin in the city. After all, although her father was not stingy, he was not so generous very often. 'If not now, when will I buy?' It was not until dark that Shen Yuan decided to take a temporary break at Shen Xi's urging and went home with her bags.

As soon as she entered the house, Shen Xi felt nervous. She had lived under the pressure of her grandmother for many years, and she had never confronted her grandmother like she did today. Shen Yuan saw Shen Xi's uneasiness and took the initiative to suggest: "Sister, we sisters haven't seen each other for so long, you sleep with me tonight."

"Girl, don't try to kidnap your sister."

"Grandma..." Shen Xi was surprised. She didn't even notice when her grandmother showed up.

Shen Yuan didn't intend to say anything, but after being poked by Shen Xi, he reluctantly called her grandma, but his expression looked reluctant. Old Lady Shen snorted coldly: "Look at this girl, I don't know who she looks like. There is no such vengeful girl in our Shen family."

"Whoever gave birth to him looks like him." Shen Yuan was still angry and didn't want to forgive his grandmother so quickly.

"Sister, I'm going to find my dad." After saying that, she went straight to her father's study, not caring about the ugly look on her grandmother's face behind her.

"This child has such a bad temper! The second child should just get used to it, he will become a troublemaker."

"Grandma, why are you outside? Are you waiting for me and Manman here?" Shen Xi walked forward to support her grandmother and said with a smile.

"Who's waiting for you? I ate too much for dinner, so I came out to digest it."

"Really? Then your granddaughter will walk with you again." Shen Xi knew that her grandmother was being rude. Who would run to the door to digest food? There was plenty of room in the yard.

When Shen Yuan arrived at the study, Shen Yun was burning incense at his wife's tablet to apologize, saying that he had disturbed her peace today and that there were reasons for it, and asked her not to worry. Shen Yuan came in from outside and knelt down in front of the altar.

"Mom, I can prove that what dad said is true. Did you know that grandma almost wanted my dad to marry a stepmother for me? If you are still alive, please send a dream to grandma and tell her... just say that you are a lucky charm for your husband. If my dad marries another woman, you will not bless him to get a promotion."

After hearing what his daughter said, Shen Yun chuckled and sat down casually on the ground, muttering to the tablet on the altar: "Yan'er, don't worry. With our daughter here, mother won't dare to ask me to marry again."

Then he asked his daughter, "Did you have fun playing outside today? Did you calm down now?"

"That's about right. Dad, I'd be happier if you gave me another fifty taels." Shen Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand.

Shen Yun found it funny and slapped it, "Stop dreaming about this."

"Ah - Mom, look, my dad is beating someone!"

Day 2

"Madam, what's wrong with you? You seem to be feeling unwell somewhere. I'll go call a doctor." The nanny saw that the old lady looked strange after waking up, and thought that she was sick because of the sudden change of place and the unfamiliar climate, so she hurriedly arranged to call a doctor.

The old lady stopped the nanny and told her not to panic. After drinking a cup of tea, she slowly explained the reason.

"It's really strange. I dreamed about the second son's wife last night. Do you think she blamed me for wanting to remarry the second son, so she came to find me?"

The nanny also thought this was strange, but she still comforted her, "Don't worry, old lady. The second lady won't blame you. Which mother-in-law can do what you do? If it were someone else, they would have married a new bride a few years ago."

"No, no, no, she must have come to see me. She also told me that if I remarry the second son, she will not bless him to get promoted." This dream was too real. The old lady now thinks about it, it's as if the second son's wife was standing in front of her and saying it.

"Forget it, forget it. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. The second son himself is not happy, so why should I, as a mother, be a bad person? I will just let him be from now on." The old lady finally made up her mind and no longer cared about her second son's marriage.

But after a pause, he muttered to the nanny: "Xiao He, do you think the second son can still get promoted?"

Shen Yuan didn't know yet that what she casually said actually made her grandmother dream. If she knew, she would definitely say a few more words, such as asking her brother to ask the imperial examination questions in her dream, and asking her father to give her daughter more monthly allowance in her dream.

After Shen Yun arrived at the Dali Temple today, he was called by the Lord of the Temple. After coming out, he thought about what the Lord of the Temple had just said to him, and he was still in a trance. He now suspected that his daughter was a fairy. He just talked about the promotion last night. Recently, the Lord of the Temple said that the emperor had allowed him to retire, and hinted that he would be the next Dali Temple Lord. However, he has not been officially appointed yet, so it is not convenient to publicize it. Just let him have an idea in his mind.

Shen Yun naturally knew that it was inconvenient to publicize it, but he showed it on his face to some extent, as if he was in high spirits because of a happy event. When the other officials of the Dali Temple saw it during lunch, they couldn't help but ask a few questions.

"My mother came to Beijing from her hometown in Jinling yesterday. I haven't seen her for a long time. I'm so happy."

"It's not easy to get from Jinling to the capital. I'm glad that the old lady is in good health. My hometown is thousands of miles away, and I don't know if I can see my mother again in this lifetime." A temple master sighed, feeling quite sad.

Officials in this dynasty have more holidays than those in the previous dynasty. However, if he wants to go back to his hometown, it will take several months, which is simply not feasible. His old mother at home is also old and cannot travel a long distance to the capital.

When the people heard this, they spoke to comfort him.

"We can take a long vacation every five years and then go back to visit."

"Yes, yes. Five years just passed in a flash. It was very fast."

Seeing this, Shen Yun brought up his daughter's coming-of-age ceremony and changed the subject, "My mother is coming to the capital this time for my daughter's coming-of-age ceremony. It will be on the 16th of next month. I hope all my colleagues will take the time to come."

"Of course. It's your lady's big day, so there's no reason for us not to go. When the time comes, we can go together."

"Young Master Xie, please remember this." Shen Yun glanced at Xie Hui beside him with a smile and picked up the teacup.

"must."

——Shouzhubing Small Theater

After Shen Yuan learned that her mother really did come to her in dreams, she knelt in front of the tablet and said devoutly:

"Mom, I don't know if you can ask someone you don't know to come over. If you can, please tell Mr. Xie in your dream that Shen Yuan is the best girl in the world."

That night, Xie Hui did not have a dream, but Shen Yuan had a dream. In the dream, her mother told her that she could not say what her mother had told her in her dream today, and asked her to find other ancestors in the family.
