Chapter 1: Nightmares

The wine glass in Fang Yue's hand slipped down and fell on the table, with a soft "bang", and the wine splashed everywhere.

The melodious sound of the piano paused, the woman stroking the qin stopped moving, her white and slender fingers were still on the yaoqin, she raised her picturesque face, looked at Fang Yue with a pair of eyes like autumn water, and said softly: "What's wrong with Fang Gongzi?" But not feeling well? ”

"I'm ......" Fang Yue had a hint of confusion in his eyes, and he turned his head to look around.

It is a spacious room, with arm-thick candles lit in the corners and in the middle, illuminating the room as bright as day, and the air is filled with the fragrance of precious agarwood, which can make people calm down.

In addition to Fang Yue and the beautiful woman Fuqin, there were six or seven other people in the room, all dressed as scholars, wearing wide-sleeved soap-edged Lan shirts, soap ribbons around their waists, and jade pendants and other things.

They sat on the floor, each with a small rectangular wooden table with fine wine and plates of delicate dishes, apparently drinking while listening to the sound of the harp.

At this moment, these people were disturbed to listen to the qin, and they also looked at Fang Yue one after another, with different expressions, some were dissatisfied, some were surprised, and some were indifferent.

"It's fine, it's just a little too much to drink." Fang Yue came back to his senses, and barely squeezed out a smile on his pale face, "I'm sorry to interrupt the white girl's piano, please continue." ”

"Haha, it's the first time that Brother Fang Yue has come to this land of flowers and snow, and in front of him is a beautiful woman like Bai Yao, who is more beautiful than flowers, so naturally everyone is drunk if she is not drunk."

Not far from Fang Yue, a chubby gentleman spoke.

Fang Yue looked at the person who was talking next to him, and a memory of this person naturally appeared in his mind, this fat scholar surnamed Ren, his name was Junlin, he was the son of a businessman, his family was quite wealthy, and now he was a child.

The scholars in this house are either talented or children.

"Ren Gongzi laughed, the posture of the slave family Pu Liu, how can he be evaluated by the country." Bai Yao sighed lightly, her white face was as white as jade with a little self-pity and self-pity, and her delicate and pitiful temperament made people feel extremely pitiful.

"Deserve it, how not it's deserved. Miss Bai Yao is the first beauty in our Ping'an County, and she is famous for her piano skills in all directions, even in our entire Baiquan Mansion. A man with a folding fan and a sachet hanging from his waist spoke.

Fang Yue naturally also recognized this Sao Bao Shizi, this is a student of county school, his name is Zheng Chengyi, and Fang Yue is a classmate of county school.

Of course, these "county classmates" are only nominal classmates, and the two actually have no intersection, and their communication is limited to nodding their heads and saying hello when they meet.

Fang Yue is also a student of the county school, and all the talents are considered students of the county school, but the county school does not stipulate that they must go to school, for example, neither Fang Yue nor this Zheng Chengyi have gone to the county school.

However, the reasons why the two did not go to the county school were very different, Fang Yue was because he was poor, his family was poor, his parents were dead, he had no relatives to rely on, and he barely insisted on being a talent in the examination, so he returned to the village to open a museum to teach and make a living.

Of course, there are students in Xiucai, and those who rank first in the scientific examination can be called Xiucai, who are provided with rice and grain by the government every month to subsidize their lives, so they don't have to worry about their livelihood, and they can prepare for the township examination with peace of mind.

It's a pity that in each prefecture and county, the number of students is limited, and there are only 20 places for students every three years with a population of more than 100,000 people in Ping'an County.

Zheng Chengyi is just the opposite, his family is rich, thousands of acres of fertile land, and after being admitted to Xiucai, he entered the Qingxi Academy in Baiquan Mansion.

Qingxi Academy has a strong faculty and a great Confucian town, which is well-known in the entire Yunzhou where Baiquan Mansion is located, and it is much stronger than the county school of Ping'an County under the rule of Baiquan Mansion.

Zheng Chengyi opened his mouth to speak, and other scholars also echoed their words, praising Bai Yao's beauty and piano skills, some quoted scriptures, and some even recited poems on the spot, in short, the atmosphere was very warm.

The sad look on Bai Yao's face disappeared and became smiling again.

Fang Yue didn't participate in them, in fact, he was still in a bit of a trance in his heart until this moment, and his mind was full of mush.

"How is that possible? It's just a dream, so why ......?"

Before this, Fang Yue was a 9-to-5 office worker on Earth, but recently, he had a long and coherent dream when he slept at night for several days in a row.

In the dream, he was a scholar from a poor family, studied hard, and finally passed the examination for a showman.

And now, he has really become the scholar in his dreams.

The scene and characters in front of him were clear and real, and Fang Yue was sure that this was not a dream.

"Hey, why are you absent-minded, such a big beauty is in front of you, and you are actually distracted." Ren Junlin, who was in the position next to him, leaned over to Fang Yue's side and whispered.

Among the few scholars in the room, the one who had a friendship with Fang Yue was actually Ren Junlin, the fat man, and most of the others Fang Yue was limited to acquaintances and could name them.

Before Ren Junlin's father made a fortune, he was from the neighboring village of Fang Yue's small fishing village, and later moved his family to settle in the county after making a fortune in business.

When Ren Junlin was a child, he and Fang Yue went to a private school, and they were taught by the same husband, so the two are veritable classmates.

Fang Yue came to drink flower wine this time, and he was pulled by Ren Junlin. After he came to the county school to participate in the annual annual examination, Ren Junlin said that he would take this childhood classmate and friend to meet Bai Yao, the flower of the drunken flower building in the county.

Of course, this is also because Fang Yue's own will is not strong enough, he has not married in his early twenties, the young man is strong-blooded, and he is lustful, as soon as he heard Ren Junlin boast about how beautiful and moving the Oiran was, he couldn't hold back for a while, and his curiosity moved, so he followed them to join in the fun.

Otherwise, with his family background, he would never have come to this kind of gold cave.

Bai Yao is indeed quite beautiful, her eyebrows are picturesque, her skin is white and beautiful, even in Fang Yue's eyes now, she is also a good beauty, but Fang Yue's mind is still in this wind and snow.

"It's okay, I'm a little dizzy after drinking a little wine." Fang Yue casually dealt with Ren Junlin.

"Don't be greedy, beauty is the most important thing." Ren Junlin patted Fang Yue's shoulder, squeezed his eyebrows and said a word, then stopped caring about Fang Yue and returned to his position, because Bai Yao started playing the piano again.

Listening to the sound of the yaoqin flowing like a stream in his ears, Fang Yue's mood calmed down slightly, and he had to accept the fact that he was passing through the dream in front of him, and began to think about what to do in the future.

"Do you want to continue the imperial examination? With the original foundation of Fang Xiucai, Xiucai was barely admitted to the exam, and he could only rely on luck if he wanted to go further. ”

Fang Yue vetoed this path in his heart, he didn't want to be gray and gray in the imperial examination room, and end up doing nothing for the rest of his life.

This is not the life he wants.

"Then you have to be in business, although the status of businessmen is low, but that is also relative. I have a reputation for showing off my talents, and I can be a businessman, and I am generally not bad. And I have some modern scientific and technological knowledge on the earth in my head, and if I use it properly, I can do some small technological inventions or something, and do business in this world...... Wait, this world ......"

Fang Yue's face turned pale suddenly, and he remembered that this world was not a normal world at all.

The long dream he had about the world was not a normal dream at all, but a weird, bizarre, very terrifying nightmare.
