Uncle Gu rambled on for ages, mostly about how happy he was about to become a grandfather, how he told Gu Hui, "You brat, you can't be as wild as you used to be," and so on. If Grandma Gu hadn't come to pull him away, he doesn't know how much longer he would have continued.
After being rejected by the girls, Uncle Gu pulled Peng Ze aside and talked to him at length. Peng Ze, on the other hand, was more patient than Gu Hui, listened attentively, and agreed repeatedly.
Uncle Gu found Peng Ze more and more pleasing to the eye!
Seeing everyone talking, Gu Xin made an excuse to go to the outhouse. Her maid wanted to come with her, but she wouldn't allow it.
She said she could find the place, which puzzled the maid. Didn't the Third Miss say she had never been to Xiangguo Temple before? How could she even know where the outhouse of Xiangguo Temple was?
If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it anymore!
Gu Xin left the courtyard and saw the young novice monk. She asked him where the outhouse and kitchen were, and the young novice monk pointed her in the right direction.
Gu Xin planned to go to the kitchen first, but before she even got there, she encountered a fat monk.
The fat monk blocked her way. Gu Xin smiled and was about to move aside when the fat monk blocked her again.
Gu Xin: "?"
The fat monk put his hands together in prayer: "Are you looking for hot water in the kitchen, benefactor?"
Gu Xin asked in surprise, "How did you know?"
She planned to go to the kitchen to get hot water, mix it with some jade beads, and then give it to Gu Hui to drink. She remembered that her mother had also had some symptoms when she was pregnant with Xiao Ba, and drinking jade bead water helped a lot, so she planned to try it on Gu Hui as well.
Besides, Gu Hui is carrying her nephew, her first nephew! Even if this jade bead can't alleviate Gu Hui's symptoms, it will definitely make Gu Hui's body better. If Gu Hui's body gets better, won't her nephew get better soon?
But she didn't tell anyone else!
How did that fat monk know she wanted hot water?
The fat monk chuckled, "This humble monk is just guessing. I also suspect that you, benefactor, have been having many dreams these past few years, dreams of scenes you are not familiar with, and they feel incredibly real, as if they really happened. Is that right?"
Gu Xin's surprise turned into suspicion, and then she looked at the fat monk warily.
Only her parents, sister, and Yuanyuan knew about her dream. No one else knew. These people would never tell anyone else about her dream. How did this monk know?
Also, he's clearly blocking my way on purpose. What is he trying to do?
The fat monk smiled even more kindly: "Don't be afraid, benefactor. I only wish to say a few words to you and have no other intentions. Besides, there are people coming and going here, and I cannot do anything to you."
Gu Xin pursed her lips and looked around. Indeed, there were many people coming and going, and many monks were talking to people who came to offer incense. After thinking for a moment, she decided to listen, but she still didn't let her guard down: "...Master, what do you want to tell me? Just say it here. Don't try to take me somewhere else to talk. I'll leave after I've listened!"
The fat monk noticed her wariness but didn't mind. He said, "I once thought that your life was a dream, but someone changed it. Your dreams have both good and bad aspects. I have a way to prevent you from having such dreams in this life. Would you be willing?"
Gu Xin: "?"
In her dream, she experienced both good and bad times.
However, she doesn't reject this either.
Yuan Yuan Ge also dreams, and he can still dream about her, only she is different from how she is now.
