Traveling through ancient times: living a different life

After Qinghui's wedding, he received the good news that Tingsong passed the exam and ranked second. The whole family was very happy, especially his parents, who were so happy that their son passed the exam at the age of 13.

This time, the grandfather said to his eldest son, "My eldest grandson passed the imperial examination at such a young age, so we should hold a big banquet. However, we just held the wedding banquet for Qinghui's marriage, so it's too frequent to hold banquets one after another. I suggest that we invite a few families with good relationships in the village, and then invite the eldest daughter-in-law's family to come. What do you think?"

Both my parents and Tingsong agreed that the whole family had been busy with Fourth Uncle’s wedding for more than a month and were extremely tired.

My fourth uncle and Zhu Shanchang had already scheduled their return trip to Beijing, so they would not be able to attend the small banquet hosted by my eldest nephew.

Before leaving, he said to Tingsong: "Work hard, I'll be waiting for you in the capital."

"Uncle, don't worry, I will work hard. We will meet in the capital."

After Tingsong left, Biyue asked Fourth Uncle to come to her room and give him a small box and a porcelain bottle of spiritual spring water. "Fourth Uncle, this is the Power Pill. Now that you have intermediate skills and the Power Pill, ordinary people can't hurt you. This bottle is high-level spiritual spring water. Two or three drops of it can save lives when needed."

"Thank you, Yueyue. I'll take note of this. Please come to the capital to visit me when you have time."

At noon, my fourth uncle set off with his wife and the wedding procession.

On the morning of the third day, Biyue personally went to invite Dr. Lin's family, while my father and second uncle went to invite the village chief and Chunsheng's families respectively. My grandfather's family received the good news yesterday, and this morning, they drove a bullock cart with the whole family to Chen's house to attend the grandson's banquet. After everyone arrived, they set up five or six tables before they were done.

Now that the villagers are better off, some of them send their boys to study in the village private schools.

Because the Chen family hired people who could read and write several times, Ma Baoshan and his son were examples. Now Ma Tao is the shopkeeper in Putian Town next to Sishui Town, with a monthly salary of 5 taels of silver, and he also married a girl from the town. Who in the village would not envy him?

After dinner in the evening, Bi Yue came to her parents' room and handed a box to her father. "This is a powerful pill. It will increase your strength after you eat it." Then she walked to stand in front of her father, took out the jade token of basic martial arts and light skills, and placed it between her father's eyebrows. Her father was very surprised when he received the information.

"Practice when you have time. With the help of the Da Li Pill, you can protect yourself when you encounter danger. I will also send the exercises and Da Li Pill to Second Uncle later, so that you will be prepared for any eventuality."

Wang asked her daughter in confusion, "Yue'er, are you going on a long journey after all these instructions?"

"Yes, mother. I plan to leave in two days to see the outside world. It may take at least a year or at most five years. It's uncertain."

"Your father and I can't help you with anything. You are the one helping us, and even the whole family. We know that you have important things to do, and your parents won't stop you. We hope you can take good care of yourself outside. If possible, we hope you can come home before you turn 15, and your parents will hold a grand coming-of-age ceremony for you. Do you think that's okay?"

"Mom and Dad, I promise you."

"Dad, I have a few bags of sweet potatoes in my room. They are also high-yield crops, with a yield similar to that of potatoes. We can try planting them at home first. When there are enough seeds, we can let the villagers follow suit. This is the planting method. You can take a look at it for a while and come to my room to get the seeds tomorrow."

After chatting with my parents for a while, I went out to find Tingwei.

I called Tingwei to the backyard and said to him, "Third brother, I may have to go on a long journey, and I don't know when I will be back. You have been practicing martial arts with me for five years. I know you like to learn martial arts, but learning literature is also important. Otherwise, how can you understand military books and lead troops to fight? You want to be a general when you grow up. Work hard for your ideal. Second sister will always support you.

I will give you two gifts. These are the Da Li Pills, which increase your strength. You can eat them now. I also input two high-level skills jade tablets into his mind and then said to him: "The high-level skills plus the Da Li Pills and your unremitting efforts will definitely lead you to the road of success.

The two came to the stable and said to Hongyun, "I am going on a long journey. From now on, you should listen to Tingwei. If he goes to the battlefield one day, you and your third brother will realize your dreams."

"Second sister, wherever you are going, I want to go with you, but I know it's impossible. Second sister, you must come back safely to see me and my family."

Seeing the little boy who was half a head taller than her with red eyes, she hurriedly said to him: "Don't be sad, second sister is very capable. I will definitely return safely. And you will also see third brother become a general and lead his soldiers to kill the enemies in the battlefield with majesty." Tingwei has liked sticking to his second sister since he was a child. The two have a deep relationship. There is nothing he can do if he is reluctant to let go. Children are like birds. When they grow up, they will fly in the sky and find their own way.

Biyue came to the cowshed again to see Brother Niu. When Brother Niu's family of three saw Biyue coming, they all greeted her happily, "Hello, Biyue. I heard the conversation between you two siblings and knew that you were going on a long journey. I'm really reluctant to let you go."

"Brother Niu, I'm happy to see that you and your family of three are very happy now. I will tell your grandparents not to sell your son. I will be back in a few years. You have to take care of yourself."

"Thank you, Biyue."

The cow also said to her son, "Thank you!"

The next morning at 8 o'clock, Biyue went to her master's place. When she was about to go home at noon, she called Doctor Lin aside and said to him, "Master, I have studied medicine with you for five years. I have learned a lot of medical knowledge. Thank you for your selfless teaching over the years.

I plan to travel around Changping and come back in three to five years. "From the bag he brought in the morning, he took out two medical books, one about surgery, one about the treatment of appendicitis, and a rectangular box. When he opened the box, he found a set of modern scalpels. When the master saw these three things, his face turned red with excitement, and he took the gifts with trembling hands.

The master said, "Thank you, my disciple. This gift is so precious. I have observed you for so many years and I know you are a person with secrets and abilities. I will not ask any more questions. I hope you take good care of yourself while traveling. I will wait for you to come back."

"Okay, Master. You should take care of yourself too. We'll say goodbye today."

After Bi Yue returned home, she had lunch to digest the food and then went to the bedroom to rest.

The next morning, the father drove a horse-drawn carriage to take his daughter and the maid Lu Xiaomai to the county town. The carriage of the three of them slowly went away, and the grandparents, Wang and the whole family reluctantly saw them off.
