Chapter 110 Dream
Chapter 110 Dream
Watching his parents surrounding his eldest sister-in-law and asking about her well-being, Shen Nanxing took a sip from his teacup, then turned to look at Huaying and continued, "Everyone knows that the Right Prime Minister's second son suffers from a chronic illness, but no one has ever seen his true face. But according to Prince Yan, he is quite an important figure! If he came to the capital, it would surely be a lively occasion."
After hearing this, Huaying took a sip of tea and remained silent.
I secretly thought to myself, everyone knew that Fu Shiyan was suffering from a chronic illness, but I had been with him for several months and had never noticed that he was in any discomfort...
Now that the Right Prime Minister's Mansion has been renovated, it stands to reason that he should return to Beijing to study. Thinking of this, Huaying's mouth curled up into a smile...
At this time, the nanny came over and bowed, "Master and Madam, it's time to eat."
Mother ordered Nan Ting to help Bai Wei go to the dining pavilion.
Turning to look at the lively couple sitting on the chairs, his eyes were filled with love and gentle smiles: "You two stop chatting, today is a big day, I specially asked the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes, go and try them and see how they taste."
Shen Nanxing glanced at his mother nonchalantly and muttered, "Mom is about to become a grandmother. I'm afraid she will dislike me even less in the future. I still have food to eat today, not bad!"
Upon hearing this, Shen's mother couldn't help but laugh out loud, and replied in a scolding tone: "You are the only one who is good at talking nonsense!"
Then she continued, "Now that you and your brother have grown up, I am very pleased as a mother. Now it is time to find a husband for you! After Ning'er has her coming-of-age ceremony next year, it won't be long before she gets married."
Then he looked at Huaying, "Your father said that the emperor once mentioned that Prince Yan was interested in forming a marriage alliance with our Shen family. Your father declined because of his special status and your young age. I don't know how many people will propose marriage to you after you come of age. Marriage is a serious matter and should not be taken lightly. If you have someone you like, your parents are willing to help you if they think his family background and character are acceptable."
Huaying was moved by her open-minded mother and said coquettishly, "I want to stay with my parents for a few more years. I don't want to get married so early."
Seeing Huaying's shy look, Shen's mother thought she was too embarrassed to speak, so she smiled and said, "Men should get married when they are old enough, and women should get married when they are old enough. This is human nature. Parents of all families start to arrange the marriages of their children early on, and they have already decided on them privately in advance. If you have someone you like, your mother can make plans for you as soon as possible."
Shen Nanxing, who was standing aside, rested one hand on the table and fiddled with the teacup in her other hand out of boredom. She said nonchalantly, "Mom, look at my little sister. She must like the benefactor who saved her! That Fu Shiyan! But his family is not as prosperous as before! It depends on whether that boy has the ability to marry my little sister in the future!"
After hearing what her son said, Shen's mother turned to look at Huaying and gently patted her hands. "Let's go, let's go eat first. We still need to think about this matter carefully."
Huaying nodded silently and followed her mother and brother to the dining pavilion obediently.
As soon as I entered the dining pavilion, I saw the eldest brother taking good care of his eldest sister-in-law. The atmosphere between them was sweet and warm.
This scene reminded Huaying of the time when she and Gu Ling and a few of her friends had talked about marriage in the present world.
At that time, she was full of expectations and longings for her future life.
The happiness she imagined was simple, just like now, the family sitting together, eating happily and sharing each other's joys and sorrows.
She felt that an ordinary life was the most real and happiest. If she could spend three meals a day with Fu Shiyan in the future, it would be a good thing...
Thinking of this, Huaying's face unconsciously flushed slightly.
That night, after washing up, Huaying lay on the bed. She wondered when Fu Shiyan would return to Beijing, and then she thought about Gu Ling and the others in the present world. Soon, she felt her eyelids were heavy and she fell asleep.
In her dream, she met Gu Ling, whom she hadn't seen for a long time. The Gu Ling in the dream was very caring towards Huaying in the real world.
On weekdays, Gu Ling would take her to the library to read books and look up information. During holidays, the two of them would go hiking and wading together, and have fun in all kinds of ways...
The scene then changed to the day of the dinner with Jingjing. Jingjing looked at them being so affectionate and couldn't help but complain: "We three grew up together. When did you two get together? You didn't even tell me. I got goose bumps when I saw you two kissing. How could you kiss someone so familiar to you!"
Hearing this, Gu Ling held Huaying's hand tightly and said affectionately: "Ever since I can remember, I have hoped that Huaying can become my wife." After that, he kissed Huaying's lips lightly again.
Jing Jing, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this, "Oh my god, I really can't stand you guys!"
Huaying witnessed Gu Ling's kiss and felt awkward, with goose bumps on her arms.
On the other hand, Huaying was shy, with a happy smile on her face and eyes full of tenderness and love. Her personality and behavior were completely different from hers, as if she were another person.
Then, in another scene, she and Huaying were standing face to face in a vast expanse of white fog. She could only be heard saying to herself, "Both Huayings must be happy."
At this moment, the sky was already slightly pale, and a ray of sunlight shone through the window onto the soft couch in the room.
Qing He, who had packed up early in the morning, gently pushed open the door of the young lady's room, walked to the bed, lifted the bed curtain, looked at the young lady who was still immersed in her sleep, and called softly: "Young lady, young lady, it's time to get up."
Huaying heard the voice and slowly opened her eyes with a dazed look.
When I saw Qinghe in front of me, I realized that I had just dreamed.
Recalling her dream, she couldn't help but gently press her aching forehead.
Qinghe, holding a lotus pink dress, walked up to Huaying and said, "Miss, it's raining today and the weather is a bit cold. You should wear this thicker dress." Qinghe's voice was clear and pleasant, bringing Huaying back to reality from her illusory dream.
Huaying raised her eyes, looked at Qinghe, smiled and nodded.
At this time, a carriage stopped at the gate of Zuijiangyue in Taohua Town, and a tall and straight man got out of the carriage. This man was Fu Shichen.
He walked into the store with steady steps, and Manager Liu immediately came to greet him and asked cordially, "Sir, do you want to stay at the hotel or have a meal?"
Fu Shichen raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile: "Shopkeeper, don't be busy, I'll come to find your boss."
