Tan Hua Floating Dream

Chapter 1

In this way, the consciousness floated and sank repeatedly in the darkness for a long time, and he suddenly felt a pulling force pulling him to a certain place, the stalling feeling of falling, which made his body tremble slightly.

When he became conscious for the first time in a trance, what he felt was water pressing towards him from all directions, the sound of gurgling water, shadows flickering on the water, and vague shouts. He was only confused for a moment, and then Lost consciousness again.

For the next time, he was in a hot and uncomfortable state with drowsy consciousness. It seemed that someone was talking beside him and crying worriedly, hoping that he would wake up soon.

Who……?

Ah Yin...?

No... that's impossible, Ah Yin is already dead, he still remembers Ah Yin's last words and expression, full of reluctance for him, and the hand that held him was powerless...

Or, is it Miss Xiaozhu?

In that case, if he was still alive, he would be called the Nine Lives Strange Cat, right?Thinking about it, my head fell into a state of drowsiness and inability to think.

When he finally got out of that heavy and tired state and slowly opened his eyes, he thought for a long time that he was still dreaming.

The top of his eyes is dark wood, engraved with gorgeous flying pictures, and under his body is a hard and not very soft wooden plank... Isn't this what is commonly known as a red sleeping bed?He was rescued by some traditional family in the countryside?

This was his first reaction after he opened his eyes, but when he moved his gaze to the side and saw everything in this room, he just froze on the spot, seriously doubting whether he was still awake.

Even for a family that still has many traditional rural antiques, it is impossible to decorate the room in such a way. This level of furnishings and decorations is only possible for historical sites or TV and movie shooting. At least a normal modern person should not Wanting to live in such a quaint place even makes people feel that time and space are lost... No, it doesn't seem to be just a feeling.

When his eyes moved away from the exquisite and gorgeous wooden decorations, and fell on the girl who just came out of a costume drama and rested on the round table, he felt a sense of dull astonishment.

He didn't think that anyone would be so boring and troublesome to make such jokes with him, and he wouldn't feel that he fell into the shooting scene of other costume dramas. Who would find a really comatose person to act as an extra?

So now it's...?He stared at the wooden boards on top of the bed and the roof next to him, thinking hard about what was going on with him now.

"Son, are you awake? I, I'll call the doctor right away!" The girl in ancient costume who woke up from a short nap showed a happy and touched expression when she rubbed her sleepy eyes and turned to look at him and met his gaze. , seemed to want to rush out to find someone, but was immediately stopped by him.

"Wait...wait..." The hoarse voice that blurted out was a little strange, and even he himself was a little startled, not because of the hoarseness, because he had a broken voice when he had a bad cold before, so that he couldn't even recognize it himself. But now the voice was clearly not the same as his original one.

If using A Yin’s metaphor at the time, his previous alto was like a warm and gentle viola, but now this one is like a violin with a higher and stronger sound, which is a bit similar but not quite the same.

"Do you have any orders, sir?"

The girl's tongue-rolling accent and somewhat reserved attitude made him deeply uncomfortable.

The little sweet potato island where he grew up, generally speaking, even the mountain accent would not have this kind of accent. At most, this kind of accent only appeared on some older generations who followed the national government to cross the sea. No matter how the word is correct, the volume will not be so heavy.

"Who... are you?" He asked very, very seriously, and then saw the expression of astonishment and then panic on the pretty face of the girl who was originally pleasantly surprised.

"Master, don't you remember the little maid? The maid is Lvxiu! The Lvxiu who has been with you for four years!" The girl said helplessly, but seeing her master looking at him with a blank and unfamiliar face, Those joys were instantly overwhelmed by fear, "You, you wait, I'll go find the doctor and the manager!"

This time the girl didn't wait for him to stop, and rushed out shouting "It's not good, it's not good".

Looking at the wooden door on the other side of the screen shaking and making a "babbling" sound, he felt that he wanted to yell more than the other party - although that didn't seem to fit his character.

After the girl who claimed to be Lvxiu left, he thought more seriously and recalled what happened to him.

He just remembered... At that time, he and Sister Xiaozhu were talking on the phone while driving, and then there seemed to be a flash of light in the opposite lane and a huge truck headed towards him, he saw the sea level and then...

died?Normally this should be the case, right?

Usually because the GPS navigation system guides the wrong way, people who fall into the water while driving may not be able to survive, let alone being hit by a big truck like that, and even falling off the cliff with the car and people Into the sea, it is a miracle that he can survive under that kind of impact.

But now he's not only alive, but in a strange place...

Tang Tan calmly thought about and summed up the current situation, and then deduced a possibility that he would have looked at before and smiled.

Legendary, time travel.

Oh... this is really unbelievable and inexplicable, this kind of thing happened to him?

Instead of giving him time travel, why not just let him go to the underworld to meet Ah Yin?And let him be in a strange place as soon as he opens his eyes, and it is also a place that will be very troublesome in all aspects.

So what the hell is he going to do now?He is not the male and female protagonists who opened up any cheats. He also returned most of the history he read back to the teacher. He can remember "Huang Yao, Yu, Shun, Xia, Shang and Zhou, returned to Qin and followed Han and the Three Kingdoms, Wei, Jin, South, North, Sui and Tang followed the Five Dynasties, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Min". The mantra is already snickering, if those protagonists can pretend to be a half-immortal foreknowledge, then he will never be able to do it.

No... He should actually feel panicked and nervous, and he didn't expect that his head still had room to think about these things at this moment.

But it may also be that he is not as calm as he imagined, so he fills the gaps in his mind with these random thoughts... Sigh, what a contradictory thought.

It's too unreal for him to die like this.

He was obviously still feeling sad about losing his beloved one, but the next moment he ended his life like this without warning, and then he was stuffed into another life like cheating.

Can a person's life end so quickly and start again?It is really inexplicable.

However, this will really cut off everything with the lover, right?Those good memories, family members, and everything that can be used to remember each other are gone, only those memories that remain in my mind and will fade away at some point.He began to feel fear.

He may not care about where he is, he may not care that this is not his original body, but the only thing he cannot accept is that he has lost all connection with that person.

It was like denying the existence of "Tang Tan", he didn't want to do that.

"Ayin..." He couldn't help murmuring the name of his lover.

But in the quiet room, only his voice echoed lightly, and after a while, the voice calling that person's name drifted into the air, leaving nothing behind.

※※※

Before he could fully figure out where he was, footsteps sounded again, and the girl who called herself Lvxiu just now returned to the room again, and two men walked in front of her, one looked gentle and delicate, The other is an old gentleman with a white beard.

Unsurprisingly, they were all wearing ancient costumes in Tang Tan's impression, with clean buns, and the wooden box in the old man's hand also looked quite old.

The gentle and delicate man looked a bit feminine, but his eyes were very calm and peaceful. After meeting Tang Tan who was lying on the bed, he walked straight towards him.

"Mr. Wen, are you awake?" The man's voice was softer than he had imagined, but with just this sentence, Tang Tan could be sure that he was probably not the real master in this "home".

If he is the owner of this house, at least this man should call himself "Master" or "Young Master", not the unfamiliar "Master".

And this also made him a little curious about "his" status in this mansion.

"Are you...?" Tang Tan asked with a hint of doubt. He felt that he should know how to address the other party first, but the gentle man seemed to be taken aback by his question.

"... Mr. Wen really don't remember?" The gentle man looked at Tang Tan with half-belief, looking at Tang Tan's clear eyes that seemed to be looking at a stranger, his disbelief seemed a little shaken at first.

In his impressions of getting along with him for several years, he doesn't think that the other party is a person who is so clever and scheming that he deliberately pretends to have lost his memory to win the sympathy of others. Although he is a bit arrogant and self-willed, his personality is very straightforward and easy to understand. It's a very simple person.

"Um... sorry, I really don't know who you are." Tang Tan wanted to get up, but when he moved, he felt as if he had been lying down for too long and his body was sore, which made him frown.

The gentle man also frowned and looked at the old gentleman next to him. The old gentleman with a white beard twirled his beard and moved closer.

"Director De, let me take a look at Mr. Wen's condition first!" After the gentleman nodded in agreement, the old gentleman began to do some checks on Tang Tan, looking at his eyes and feeling his pulse. After a while, he shook his head and let out a sigh .

"Mr. Wen's body is fine or there is nothing wrong with it, but he has lost his memory...maybe it's the disease of losing his soul. Usually, people with this kind of condition may only remember it all at once, but they may not remember it for a lifetime .

"The reason for this symptom is still unclear, but it can be roughly classified into several items. The brain is hit by a huge impact, after a serious illness, or a mental blow... Compared to going crazy because of the blow For people, this kind of soul-loss disease may be lucky for Mr. Wen." The old man who probably knew something said while twisting his beard.

"So... Mr. Wen really lost his memory?" The gentleman's expression seemed to say "I'm sorry", but his attitude was quite calm, unlike the maid who was standing aside, who was twisting her dress with her hands. Into a twist.

"In my judgment, yes."

The gentle man glanced at Tang Tan, and after saying "Take care of Mr. Wen" to Luxiu, he walked out of the room with the old doctor, looking at the room from time to time as if he was talking to the old doctor, and asked the old doctor to nod He shook his head and said a lot.But Tang Tan couldn't hear what they were talking about. After all, he wasn't the male protagonist with world-class martial arts in a novel, and he didn't have a good ear after training. It's normal if he couldn't hear them.

But even if Tang Tan couldn't hear them, he could guess what they were talking about.

If you avoid him instead of asking directly in front of him... you are probably asking him how likely it is to pretend, right?

What is the identity of the original owner of this body and what happened to make people so suspicious?

Sigh... It's really troublesome, even asking him to change the age and change the body will cause trouble for him.

"My son..."

The maid Luxiu looked at him with teary eyes and worried face, somehow reminding him of his younger sister who died young.

He and his sister lost their parents when they were very young, and they were pushed back and forth among relatives. The elder, in order to protect his sister and himself, forced himself to become precocious, and then asked the relatives who took them in that year to move. Going out to live, as long as the other party is willing to sign for him to rent a house, he will go to work to earn living expenses.The other party readily agreed, so why not do it to save trouble?

So he took his younger sister to live in a small suite, worked hard to earn money for the two of them to go to school and live, and applied for a student loan if the tuition was not enough.

My younger sister is very well-behaved, she doesn’t even cry very much, even if there are any sad things, she will endure them. The only time she saw her cry after her parents died was because when he collapsed from overwork, she cried and told him not to kill him. Also leave her together.

But the younger sister committed suicide later. She was only 16 years old when she died, and there was a baby less than three months old in her stomach.

They hadn't even kissed yet, but he was furious that the other was sneaking up on his sister and presuming that she had seduced him.

If it was the younger sister who seduced him, why did she commit suicide?He is very aware of his sister's personality, probably because he finally met someone he likes and is willing to associate with, and he couldn't bear to destroy his dream, but he was ashamed to face him when this happened and he didn't dare to tell him that he was raped. Just came to a dead end.

After that, he hadn't dated other men for a long time. Even though he had a few relationships on and off later, he broke up with others before crossing that hurdle. Everyone thought he was not sincere. But I don't know how deep the shadow in his heart is.

It wasn't until the lover broke into his world that he broke his tightly sealed and protected shell.His older lover always pampers him with tenderness and tolerance, even if there is no sex, it doesn’t matter... It’s hard for a man to love without sex, but the other party doesn’t care about it, and it’s only after a year of dating that they really happen relationship.

He can be sure that the other party is not stealing behind his back, because the other party will report to him no matter where he goes to make him feel at ease, and spend most of his free time by his side, even pulling him to integrate into the family he grew up with , to give him a feeling of home.

It's just that even if he was that happy, it was as short-lived as his name, and he lost two beloved people.

Xiaoli...his younger sister was about the same age as this girl when she died, so looking at her worried expression, he couldn't help but think of her.

"You just said... your name is Lvxiu?" Tang Tan tried to get up while supporting his weak body, the girl immediately stepped forward to help him lean on the carved wooden railing, and then she backed away and answered obediently.

"Yes, the maidservant is Lvxiu." The girl in light green clothes nodded and answered, looking at his expression, she seemed to hope that he was just joking, but when she thought about what the doctor said just now, she became depressed again.

"Can you...cough...tell me, who is "I" and where is this place? Tang Tan, who felt that he should first understand the identity of the original owner of this body, said in a weak voice.

"Ah, yes... Your surname is Wen and your name is Qiufu. This is Prince Xiang's Mansion. Your master was brought back by the prince four years ago...Guest, the green embroidery is a slave that you picked up by the side of the road and stayed by your side to take care of you. "Luxiu explained simply. When she mentioned the word "guest", she obviously hesitated for a moment. It seemed that she was considering what kind of words to use, which would be more euphemistic. But Tang Tan is not that stupid. Can't figure out the meaning of that sentence.

Would an ordinary guest stay in someone else's house for a long time, and would there even be a dedicated maid?Even diners may not have this kind of treatment, and it is still a palace, even if the status is high... it is more appropriate to arrange men who are suitable for rough labor.

What's more... If it's just an ordinary diner, there's no need for Lu Xiu to hesitate so obviously when she said this sentence.

Probably because of his sexual orientation, a term and the most likely answer soon appeared in Tang Tan's mind.

Male favorite.

And probably out of favor, he added from the bottom of his heart.

The reason for this calculation is very simple, if it is a favored lover, in Lvxiu, he will go to the manager to tell that "Wen Qiufu" has woken up, but only the doctor and the manager can get a glimpse of the people who come.

After all, if it is a person who is being favored, regardless of male or female, he should notify the owner of the palace, and then there should be an anxious person following him, right?Although this is the most common scene seen in TV dramas, he has also had that experience.

Whenever the hospital notifies him that Ah Yin's condition is unstable and dangerous, or when he wakes up from a coma for many days, he will rush to the hospital to stay by his side, fearing that something he doesn't know will happen to him. Time to miss each other.

"Then, why do I live in Prince Xiang's Mansion for a long time?" Although he already had a conclusion, Tang Tan asked himself once, and saw that Luxiu was speechless and unable to answer.

Just when Luxiu hesitated to speak but didn't know how to answer him, that gentle and slender voice interjected without any hesitation.

"You are the former lover of King Xiang, so King Xiang placed you in the Autumn Shuang Courtyard." Chief Nade stared into Tang Tan's eyes, looking at him while talking, as if trying to get some clues from his reaction.

But Tang Tande said that it was a pity that he was going to be disappointed. He did not have the memory of "Wen Qiufu", so he would not give away his feet because of any words that were provoked.

"Boss!" Seemingly surprised that Boss De would tell him so directly, Lvxiu let out an uneasy cry, fearing that her master would be hit by it.

But Manager De just glanced at her, which made her lower her head and twist her skirt in fear.

"Even if you don't remember, Mr. Wen will know your current situation sooner or later. It's better to make it clear earlier, so you can be mentally prepared." Director De said in a flat tone, and then turned his head to look at Tang Tan.

"The previous lover... Doesn't it mean that King Xiang has other lovers now?" Tang Tan said calmly in an indifferent tone. On the contrary, Director De was slightly taken aback, but he quickly recovered and nodded to admit his words.

"Mr. Wen can be said to be the prince's only lover for these years. It's just that the prince has a new partner a few days ago. In a fit of anger, Mr. Wen, you pushed that Mr. Nangong into the deep pool in the courtyard, and you even fell into the deep pool in the courtyard." Almost died in the pool.

"My lord was angry and wanted you to fend for yourself, but he rescued Mr. Nangong who woke up in time to plead for you, saying that he snatched your lord. He can understand your anger and reluctance, and Luxiu also desperately complained to your lord. Kowtow to beg for mercy, I hope the prince will let you go because of many years of love, so you were rescued."

Although Director De didn't mean to accuse him, but it also had the meaning that his little life could only be left because of the intercession of that "Mr. Nangong".

Listening to these words, for some reason, a song that he often heard on TV appeared in Tang Tan's mind when he was a child. Two lines in it were very in line with the first thought that came to him after listening to "Wen Qiufu".

"Because only the newcomers laugh, who hears the old ones cry... how silly, why bother?" Tang Tan murmured, and met Director De's unexpected gaze.

Director De really believed that "Wen Qiufu" had indeed lost his memory.Faced with his falling out of favor so calmly, it was absolutely impossible for Wen Qiufu to happen to him before.

He knew that passage was similar to one of Du Fu's poems, but Wen Qiufu was not someone who could think of these things casually, and he had heard other servants ridicule Wen Qiufu for being just a pompous, empty-headed guy, of course not as knowledgeable The words of Mr. Nangong who have heard a lot, and this also shows what kind of person Wen Qiufu was originally.

It's just that this accident seems to have turned Wen Qiufu into a human being... Was it because he subconsciously wanted to imitate Mr. Nangong?Because you think this can win the prince's attention?Or do we just simply forget everything, and also forget those relationships of love, hatred, anger, and ignorance?

"Then... "I" is a male favorite bought by the prince, or is it just because I am a lover and I live in the palace?Cough, cough..." Because this body has not yet fully recovered, Tang Tan would cough uncomfortably before saying a few words, and let Lvxiu come forward and pat him on the back to comfort him.

"...Mr. Wen did not sell himself, just like Mr. Nangong, he only lived in the mansion because of the prince." Because of this, the prince did not sell him to those men's courts.Wen Qiufu is an ordinary citizen, not a slave. Even if the prince is a member of the royal family, he will not buy or sell people at will.

"Is that so...then, that is to say, I am free, so if I want to leave the palace, it's okay, right?"

Tang Tan's tone was so indifferent that he seemed to be gossiping, which made Director De realize what he said a little bit later, and looked at him even more surprised.

That Wen Qiufu who was crying and fussing before and almost hanged himself said so plainly that he was going to leave. Even though he knew that he had no previous memories, Director De was still very surprised and couldn't help but look at this Wen Qiufu who had lost his memory again.

"This..." Manager De didn't know whether he should give him an affirmative or a negative answer. After all, from this point of view, he can indeed leave as soon as he says, but he hurt Mr. Nangong before, will the prince let him go easily? Over him, is still unknown.

"I know this is not up to you to decide. Even if the prince spares my life, he probably won't let me go like this. He will always think about how to punish... Let the prince drive me out of the mansion, he and that Nangong son You should be able to feel at ease, right?"

Director De was really surprised by Tang Tan's words. Although it was just a simple reason to escape, "Wen Qiufu" couldn't possibly think about it. The steward can't help but wonder if someone is impersonating him.

It's just that it's not necessary to think about it carefully. It doesn't matter to the prince to pretend to be a male lover who has fallen out of favor and then leave the palace. If you want to pretend, you should pretend to be Mr. Nangong.

Although he has no intention of helping someone who has offended the prince, but if it can ease the impetuous atmosphere in the palace recently, for the sake of the masters, Director De thinks it is okay.

In fact, if it wasn't for the sentimentality of his master, everything wouldn't have become so sentimental, Mr. Wen is not a bad person, it's just because of love and hatred that made him change.

"...I see, I will make arrangements."

"Ah, by the way, I dare to ask the manager... what will happen to this child?" Tang Tan saw Luxiu wringing his fingers uneasily, and his eyes were still a little red, so he couldn't help asking the manager, and I also try my best to imitate the speech tone of the characters in the costume TV series I watched before.

"Young Master Wen means..."

"Does this child have a family? She just said that she was appointed to serve me from the very beginning, if I leave..." Maybe it's because a girl of Luxiu's age really makes him miss his sister Tang Li so much that he can't help it He made up his mind to abandon it.

Director De really looked at Tang Tan with a very unexpected look at this time. Although he knew that Tang Tan was a good master to Lvxiu in the past, he was still a person who only had the prince in his heart. At this time, he would care about the life and death of other people. , It really made him feel quite incredible.

He glanced at Lvxiu who was a little surprised that Wen Qiufu would say such words, her eyes were red and she looked at her master blankly, as if she didn't expect the master to take care of her at this time, after all, the master is already her own It's hard to guarantee.

"...I will go and ask the prince for you, if I can let you take Lvxiu with me, it's just whether you, Lvxiu..." Director De is not a hard-hearted person, he also has a tolerant side.

Although it was Mr. Wen's fault this time, after watching him for a long time, I actually sympathized with Mr. Wen, but it's not suitable for me to say anything more as a servant, and Lvxiu is also innocent. He didn't like to leave her in a miserable situation.

Moreover, this little girl is not suitable for the environment of the palace. She is as careless as Wen Qiufu, but what is worse than Wen Qiufu is that she has a gentle personality and is not easy to quarrel with others, and she is easy to be bullied. It wasn't because he was followed by a master like Wen Qiufu, who was usually savage and savage, and he probably had been framed miserably long ago.

"I, I am willing to follow the young master. The young master is kind to Lvxiu. Lvxiu doesn't want to leave the young master. I beg the manager and the prince to be successful!" When Luxiu heard that Tang Tan wanted to take her away, the manager didn't seem to object, so she quickly asked the manager De Kneeling and kowtowing, hoping to follow Tang Tan out of the palace. This is a wrong place.

Although she had no intentions, she also knew that being able to leave here would not be a bad thing for her.

Maybe if you leave here, you will have a meal without a meal, and there will be no place to shelter from the wind and rain, but at least you don't have to live in intrigue and fear.

Before entering the palace as a slave, she was very happy to finally have food and clothing, but after being a slave here, she realized that maybe there is no meal, but living a simple life is better than the various things of the masters and servants in the palace. struggle.

When she was only 12 years old, in order to have the money to bury her only family member, her grandmother, she signed a ten-year living contract with the palace, and now there are still six years left in ten years, it would be best if the palace was willing to let her go, but if She can't leave even if she doesn't let her go, she can only do her job here obediently, spending the remaining six years carefully.

"I see, I will help you mention this to the prince."

"Thank you, manager, thank you!" Lvxiu said gratefully.

Before leaving, Director De glanced at "Wen Qiufu" who was sitting by the window looking out the window, and felt a little inexplicably moved.
