Chapter 1914 Ancestors’ Dream?

Yang Jie had a dream and couldn't understand it when he got up in the morning.

He dreamed of his old house in Niulan Village. It felt very real, but for some reason he felt uneasy.

After getting up, he called the book boy in for questioning, wanting to know if this dream was a good thing or a bad thing.

The book boy Yang Lian thought for a while and replied respectfully: "Master! They say dreams have clues. If you dreamed about the old house in Niulan Village, it must not be that simple."

"Is that so?" Yang Jie frowned and thought, "This dream is strange. It seems to be awake at the same time. It doesn't look like a dream..."

"Master, I always feel this way in my dreams." Yang Lian said, "Did you only dream about the old house and nothing else?"

"No... Do you think you are overthinking? Isn't there a saying that makes you think about something every day and dream about it at night?" Yang Jie said.

"Hmm~ I'm not very sure either." Yang Lian shook his head.

"Forget it!" Yang Jie stopped thinking, "Someone, help me change my clothes!"

"Yes!!" Several maids around him came over immediately and helped the young master put on new clothes.

After freshening up, Yang Jie took the bookboy Yang Lian to the living room.

As soon as I entered the hall, I saw my mother kneeling in front of the incense altar, chanting sutras and chanting Buddha's name.

"Jie'er!" The father, the rich man Yang, came towards him, as if he had something to say.

"Master!" The book boy Yang Lian saluted immediately.

"Well!" Rich Yang came directly to his son without even looking at the book boy.

"Dad!" Yang Jie also bowed his head and saluted his father.

"Jie'er, Dad had a dream last night!" Rich Man Yang pulled his son to the table. After the father and son sat down face to face, he said, "In the dream, Dad saw you returning to our old house in Niulan Village. , I read and write there every day..."

"Ah? Dad, did you dream about it too?" Yang Jie was very surprised, "You also saw me reading and writing?"

"Yes!" Rich Yang nodded. He did have this dream, but in the dream the person reading and writing in the window of the old house was a shadow, and he did not exactly see the appearance of his son.

Of course, in the Yang family for generations, only his son has the conditions to study. The black shadow in the window looks very similar to my son in outline.

There are no other scholars in the Yang family, so who is he?

However, why did my son say that he "dreamed about it"?

Just as he was thinking about it, the book boy Yang Lian cautiously said: "Master, the young master just said when he got up that he dreamed of the old house in Niulan Village last night and asked me about it. I didn't expect you also dreamed about it, I'm afraid. It’s not as simple as thinking about it every day and dreaming about it at night. They say dreams have meanings, but I’m afraid this is not a simple matter.”

Of course it's not simple. Both father and son actually dreamed of the old house in Niulan Village. How could such a coincidence happen?

The rich sheep man and his son looked at each other in disbelief.

Yang Jie, who at first thought he was overthinking, frowned again: "How strange! Why did dad dream of the old house at the same time as me?"

"I also dreamed that you were studying!" Rich Yang said hurriedly.

"Could it really mean something?" Yang Jie closed his eyes and thought hard, "What does it mean?"

Both father and son were deep in thought, but had no clue.

In the silence, only the sound of the rich man Yang's wife and Yang Jie's mother chanting sutras was heard.

After a while, the book boy Yang Lian spoke cautiously next to the young master: "Master, young master, I'm afraid it's not the ancestors of the Yang family who have spirits. Seeing that the young master studied poetry and books but failed to get fame, I reminded you two that I want the young master to return to his ancestors. Around you. Are you afraid that the ancestors are coming to enlighten you?"

This world is the most superstitious, and such supernatural things can be found everywhere.

As soon as the book boy Yang Lian said this, the eyes of Yang Rich Man and Yang Jie and his son all lit up, and they instantly accepted the possibility.

"Jie'er, I'm afraid Yang Lian is right!" Rich Man Yang was very excited. "Now that our Yang family has money, what else do we lack? What we lack is scholars, promising scholars. You have repeatedly failed to win the honors. The ancestors want you to get ahead completely! This must be a dream from the ancestors, asking you to return to the old house in the village and study hard. With the ancestors taking care of you, you will definitely be able to get a good name next time!"

"Is this what you mean?" Yang Jie also became excited. The most important thing for a scholar is fame. Only with fame can one stand out and become an official. Naturally, he also wants to read tricks so that he can be respected by others and even become an official. "Dad, is this really a manifestation of the ancestors?"

"If it wasn't for the ancestors appearing in dreams, how could you and I dream about it on the same night?" Rich Yang nodded affirmatively, "Son! You have to go back to the old house in the village and study hard. I'm afraid you can get the honor this year!"

"If it's true that our ancestors have manifested themselves, of course we have to go!" Yang Jie nodded excitedly, "Then our whole family will move back?"

"No! Dad has to take care of the business in the county, so he can't go back." Rich Yang said, "Your mother has to stay here to take care of dad, and she can't go with you. In this way, you take Yang Lian and some more Maid, my father will give you a sum of money every month for expenses. If you don’t have enough, you can send someone to the county to get it. But you must pay homage to your ancestors’ memorial tablets in the morning and evening, and don’t waste your time on other things besides studying.”

"What can I do in our poor village?" Yang Jie replied.

"You have to tell me what you should tell me," said the rich man Yang. "When you return to the village, you can study behind closed doors and don't pay attention to other people. Remember, you are going back this time to study hard to gain fame and live up to your ancestors' dreams. Don't do that. Moving around this house and that house!”

"What can I do with them?" Yang Jie said, "Dad, don't worry!"

"I am relieved, but relatives in the village may come to you at any time and disturb your studies. We often have relatives in the county to borrow money." The rich man Yang thought for a while, turned his head and looked at the book boy, "Yang Lian!"

"Yes, master!" The book boy stood up immediately.

"This time you accompany the young master back to the village, and you are responsible for dealing with our relatives." The rich man Yang ordered, "The young master must study hard after returning and cannot be disturbed by anyone. So if anyone comes to the young master and may affect his studies, you should find a way to deal with it, and never let them disturb the young master, understand? No matter what, studying comes first, understand?"

"Master, don't worry, I understand!" Yang Lian squinted his eyes and replied, "After the young master returns, just concentrate on studying in the old house, and no one will disturb him!"

"Very good!" The rich man Yang nodded with satisfaction, "Get things done, and the young master will be rewarded after passing the imperial examination!"

"Thank you, master!" Yang Lian was excited.

"Dad, when should I go back?" Yang Jie asked.

"The ancestors came to me in a dream, so of course I can't delay." His mother came to the table after reciting the sutra, with a pious face, "Eat breakfast and go back to the village immediately."

"Yes, yes! Your mother is right." The rich man Yang thought this was right, "Hurry up and eat breakfast, and then take people back to the village. Yang Lian, go and ask someone to prepare a bag for the young master and bring some clothes to change."

"Yes!"
