The couple chatted for a while and neither of them talked about their dreams anymore.
Cheng Yue took the topic so far afield that Shanshui forgot to tell Cheng Yue that he had dreamed of someone exactly like him three times.
That person seemed to be real.
When Cheng Yue fell asleep again, Shanshui remembered that he had not mentioned this, but he was reluctant to wake him up again.
I thought I'd talk about this tomorrow morning.
…
The next morning, someone from the city came to Shanshui and said that there was news about the maid.
I went to see Shanshui without even having breakfast.
I completely forgot about the decision I made last night before going to bed to tell Cheng Yue about my strange dream in the morning.
Not long after Shanshui followed them, Cheng Wu and Mingzhu returned.
"Uncle, where's Jinxing? Why didn't you come back with me?"
Gu Xuelan was about to go out, and when she saw that the two men hadn't seen her son, she asked.
"Sister-in-law, Jinxing went to the city to do some work. He left at midnight last night. If he is quick, he won't be back until tomorrow night."
Cheng Wu replied.
"What? What are you going to the city for? Is it an errand for the government office? They said there's a new case, aren't you going to send Jin Xing? Isn't there a government office in the city? Why would you send a child like him to the city?"
Gu Xuelan was shocked. No matter how much she favored her eldest son, she still had her younger son in her heart.
In her opinion, her youngest son is still a child who has not grown up.
What should you do if you encounter a vicious person?
"Sister-in-law, don't get excited. Jinxing isn't going alone this time. There are other brothers from the government office with him. When we get to the city, we'll work with the people from the government office. We didn't originally plan to let Jinxing go; he wanted to go on his own. He said he couldn't live under the protection of Master Ji, me, and Master Zhang. Otherwise, he wouldn't grow up, wouldn't see the world, and what good would it do to have martial arts skills?"
Cheng Wu said helplessly.
"This brat! How old is he, and he's already showing off? Uncle, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should have stopped him at this moment. Otherwise, we can rest assured if you come with us! Why did you let him go alone?"
Gu Xuelan was still a little anxious.
"What's going on? What are you talking about so early in the morning?"
At this time, Cheng Shun came over with his hands behind his back, and Cheng Minhong and Ning Wazi, who also had their hands behind their backs.
Ning Wazi is already one and a half years old. He no longer needs to hold on to the wall when walking. Not only that, he can also follow his aunt and imitate his grandfather, walking around the house with his hands behind his back.
“Daddy!”
Ning Wazi put his hands behind his back and walked towards Cheng Wu with his short legs.
"Dad, Jinxing went to the provincial capital with the yamen to handle a case. My uncle didn't stop him, nor did he go with him. Jinxing is so young, how can we let him go alone?"
Gu Xuelan turned around and explained to Cheng Shun.
"Why can't he go alone? He's just a kid, and he's currently ranked first in Taoyuan County's martial arts exam. What are you worried about? Have you ever seen that kid suffer any loss outside? He always makes others suffer, let alone on a government job!"
"Don't be as blind as your mother! This child has to grow up and is destined to leave his parents one day. Watching and protecting him every day is not good for him! Look at the result of your mother keeping Awu by her side. He is already in his twenties and has accomplished nothing. Do you also hope that Jinxing will end up like Awu in the future?"
"Not only Jinxing, but also Jinyan! Jinxing is a good fighter, but Jinyan has always been a weak scholar. Do you, as his mother, have to follow him all the time? Follow him for exams, follow him when he becomes an official, and ask for advice from you when he does great things for the people?
