Chapter 5, A Different World

If I had known earlier, this matter should have been approached gradually. After all, Yi is not young anymore and will eventually get married. If we unite a few people to apply some pressure on her, it might not be impossible to succeed. The middle-aged woman's face was filled with regret: "Who would have thought that by urging her too much, she would actually do such a thing, sending someone down the mountain to snatch the bandit husband? A woman... this is simply a disgrace to female virtue!"

However, next, his consciousness was once again submerged in a torrent of chaotic information

There is still a significant difference between ancient characters and modern characters, Li Yi glanced at the book at the top, and just by looking at the title, he knew that it was definitely not in Simplified Chinese

This further strengthened his resolve to absolutely avoid the crooked path of the imperial examination. With such a good situation now, without the need for hard work or struggle, he was able to enjoy a life of leisure at home by the age of seventeen. On nice days, he could stroll around his own hill and inspect his territory. What could be more pleasant than this

What on earth is this?" Li Yi looked bewildered, and the heavy book in his hand fell to the ground

Li Yi had another very long and truly terrifying nightmare

Inside the room, the young maid gazed at the young master who was earnestly studying a book, admiration shining in her beautiful big eyes. She quietly closed the door and stepped out.

Upon hearing the words "Ruyi," a beautiful face that rivaled that of the stunning woman from earlier emerged in the young man's mind. He felt a momentary stir of emotion, but this impulse lasted only an instant before dissipating completely. His complexion turned slightly pale, and he chose not to dwell on the matter any further

By the way, how do you wear this robe

Jingguo

Although Li Yi is a science and engineering enthusiast with a shockingly poor historical background, he is aware that in the five thousand years of Chinese history, there has never been a state named "Jing"

"Chronicles of Jingguo"

The bright red groom's robe was quite difficult to take off yesterday, and this morning, after wrapping it around himself, he realized that the design of the garment was rather peculiar. However, Li Yi was unsure of how to put it on properly

A sudden chill swept through, causing Li Yi to shiver involuntarily. The downside of sleeping naked combined with the habit of kicking off the covers is this. He hurriedly picked up the clothes beside him, first putting on a piece that resembled underwear but was essentially no different from a loincloth—let's just consider it underwear for now.

The only wooden table in the room had already met its heroic demise last night. The little girl rushed in, glanced around, and finally placed the book she was holding on a nearby low stool, panting as she spoke

Looking around, it was still the ancient-style architecture, the girlhood decorations by the bedside, and the familiar fragrance

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl stood gracefully to the side, her eyes secretly glancing at the handsome son-in-law that her young mistress had just taken from someone else yesterday, and her little face immediately turned even redder

Consciousness seemed to be drifting away, and everything before him appeared somewhat blurred. When Li Yi was able to see clearly again, the antique room had vanished, the beautiful maid by his side was gone, and before him stood rows of familiar bookshelves. As soon as Li Yi looked up, he could see neatly numbered books lined up in rows.

Just as Li Yi was feeling sorry for himself, it seemed he thought of something, and the young maid quickly ran out. In a short while, she returned, holding a thick stack of books.

Why does the provincial library exist in his mind

The son-in-law is truly handsome... much more so than that nephew of the second aunt...

The middle-aged woman beside her sighed and said, "Since childhood, Ru Yi has been stubborn; once she has made up her mind about something, no one can change it... Tomorrow, I will ask my second uncle to have a word with her; his words should carry some weight."

Under the night sky, the man's face was a purplish-red, with veins bulging on his forehead, presenting a rather fierce and terrifying appearance

He casually picked up a book and opened the first page, and Li Yi felt as if a "bang" had exploded in his mind, leaving his brain completely blank

Li Yi cast a glance, and what else could it be if not that book "Records of Jingguo"

I am back again

... ...

... ...

What kind of world is this!

Wretch, how dare you treat me this way

Being seen sleeping naked is indeed not a matter to be proud of

At this moment, beside the bookshelf where he had just been standing, another row appeared, but on the newly added bookshelf, there was only a solitary book.

In this era, there are naturally no dressing mirrors, and even true mirrors are absent. Li Yi held a small copper mirror and examined himself several times. The moon-white long gown fit him perfectly. Although his hair was somewhat disheveled, his handsome features, fair skin, and well-defined features made him strikingly attractive. Standing in front of the mirror, a faint scholarly aura emanated from him

Moments later, Li Yi stood in the room, holding a book titled "Records of Jing State". Every word in the book was deeply etched in his mind, and the characters that had previously seemed quite obscure to him had surprisingly become very familiar.

Fortunately, the bizarre events encountered in the past two days have been numerous enough that Li Yicai did not collapse in fear. He confirmed that the contents of that book had been fully engraved in his mind, and with a single thought, the scene from earlier reappeared before his eyes

Recalling that disheveled young man lying on Liu Ruyi's bed, a sinister expression quickly surfaced on the young man's face, only to fade away in the night.

Aunt ... ... Young Master, the young lady said ... ... that if the Young Master wishes to study, he should inform the maid ... ...

Li Yi then noticed that the young girl dressed as a maid was holding a pile of clothes in her arms. He thought to himself that the beautiful woman from last night was quite considerate; indeed, wearing that bright red wedding robe was a bit too ostentatious. Upon further reflection, the startled scream he heard earlier was likely emitted by this little maid. As for the reason, Li Yi couldn't help but feel his face flush with embarrassment.

Bang

If it still does not work, then let this matter rest... I think that girl Ruyi is also quite good, if you are interested in her...

Standing in the familiar provincial library, Li Yi murmured to himself

A young man struck the willow tree beside him with a punch, causing the trunk, as thick as an adult's arm, to shake violently, and the leaves to fall in a rustling manner

Ah!

Since he had already accepted reality, Li Yi simply stood up generously, extending his hands, allowing the blushing young girl to help him put on his robe.

What place is this

A young girl with twin buns, looking timid, hurried in and said in a soft voice: "Young master, I am here to assist you with changing your clothes..."

Yes, it is not a dream

A sharp scream suddenly echoed from the doorway, and the man who aspired to be the Pirate King slightly furrowed his brow and slowly opened his eyes

The middle-aged woman spoke, and upon mentioning this name, it seemed as if she recalled something, her expression instantly becoming somewhat unnatural. She cleared her throat twice and fell silent thereafter

A small head poked in from outside the door
