Sun and Moon Are Wrong: Traveling Through Time from Under One Person

Chapter 261 All parties appear

The woman in green held the 10 taels of silver she earned today in her hand, wondering how to distribute it.

She first bought a large bag of maltose and dozens of meat buns at the market, spending five taels of silver.

Carrying food to the city gate, the woman grew wings on her back. She jumped lightly, spread her wings, and flew away.

The woman in green with a Zhong Kui mask tied around her waist is a member of the Blue Bird Sect.

The Blue Bird Sect is a small sect, located in a small mountain village nearby. This sect was established only a hundred years ago and is considered a new force in the Dharma world.

The magical power passed down by the founder, Blue Bird, is called "Blue Bird Transformation Wings". Those who have practiced it successfully can grow wings, which can be used for both offense and defense. After achieving great success, they can even transform into a blue bird, which has infinite power.

However, the Blue Bird Sect's magical skills were not originally used for killing, but to save the dying and the wounded.

Most of the disciples of the Blue Bird Sect are proficient in medicine and pharmacology, and are good at planting. The sect's purpose is to punish evil and promote good, and to save the dying and the wounded. In today's troubled times, it has turned to protecting the weak and young children.

As soon as the woman landed and returned to the Blue Bird Gate, she was surrounded by a group of children.

"Sister is back!"

All the children were pale and thin, suffering from serious illnesses, and were poor people abandoned in the troubled times.

The woman distributed the meat buns and candies to the children and went into the house.

A woman was boiling medicine and cooking. She smiled when she saw her: "Big Sister, you're back."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and the woman handed the silver and money to the junior sister.

"This is twenty taels. This is the offering I gave to my master during this period." After a while, she paused and added another four taels, "I'll give you another four taels."

Leaving only one or two taels in her arms, the woman asked, "Where is the master?"

"The master has accepted the commission and has left. I want you to hurry over as well."

"What commission?"

"Someone came to visit a few days ago and said that the Lu family in Yangzhou City asked us to remove the corpse. The appearance fee is one thousand taels, and there will be a generous reward if the task is successful. Master asked you to go with us as soon as possible."

The woman nodded: "Aren't you going?"

"I have to take care of these children." The junior sister smiled bitterly.

"That's right. Take care of yourself then."

After saying that, the woman turned around and walked out, heading towards Yangzhou city.

...

A few months ago, at the port of Marseille, France, the sea breeze, with a salty taste, gently blew through every corner of the dock.

A huge ship was quietly docked at the shore, with wisps of green smoke rising from the chimney from time to time, as if urging the people who were about to go on a long journey.

Amid the bustling crowd, a young Asian man stood out.

The man's name was Zhang Yingcai, and an elderly couple was standing next to him.

The old man of the old couple is named Zhang Ruoying and the old woman is named Tian Xinghua.

Even though Mr. Zhang Ruoying is already an old man, his posture is still straight. The years have carved deep wrinkles on his face, but they have also added a bit of majesty and wisdom.

Zhang Ruoying's wife Tian Xinghua was slightly hunched over, her eyes full of kindness and attachment.

"Yingcai, are you really leaving?" Tian Xinghua held Zhang Yingcai's hand, his voice trembling, tears welling up in his eyes.

"You have been admitted to such a good university in France. If you stay here, you will have a bright future."

Zhang Yingcai gently held Mrs. Tian Xinghua’s hand, looked into her eyes, and said affectionately: “Aunt, I know that you and uncle have paid a lot for me, and here is everything I am familiar with.

But my motherland is in turmoil, and my roots are there. I cannot watch it sink. I will use everything I have to work for its revival. "

Zhang Ruoying patted Zhang Yingcai on the shoulder, her eyes full of praise: "My son, you did the right thing. A real man should have his country in mind and be brave enough to take responsibility. Your aunt and I support your decision."

Zhang Yingcai stepped forward and hugged them tightly: "Uncle, aunt, thank you for raising me for twenty years."

"Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today."

Tian Xinghua shook his head gently, recalling the past: "My child, in addition to family affection, your father and I also have a very good relationship, and we are close friends.

Back when we were still in China, we were attacked by bandits. If my brother hadn't risked his life to save us, I'm afraid we would have been dead long ago.

It is our honor to raise you.”

Zhang Ruoying smiled and said, "Yingcai, when you return to China this time, remember your important task.

One is to gather and inherit the funds and wealth that your father had previously left in Dayan, and the other is to go to Yangzhou City to cancel the childhood marriage that your grandfather had arranged with the Lu family.

Neither of these two things can be neglected, especially the second one.

Although to accomplish your cause, you need to unite all the forces you can.

But when it comes to love, I think you can freely choose the lover with whom you will spend your life.

But you have to be extra careful when you propose to cancel the engagement. You have to know that the Lu family is a powerful family and has been deeply rooted in the Jiangnan region for many years. Their power should not be underestimated.

You must not handle this improperly and offend others. This is one of the reasons why I want you to go back in person this time.

Because of this, only by saying it in person and offering a gift can it be sincere enough. "

Tian Xinghua frowned and said with some concern: "Really, in what era are arranged marriages still practiced? This is really unpleasant about Dayan.

And I also heard that the eldest daughter of the Lu family, Lu Shengxiong, has a rather aggressive personality, like a tomboy. How can she be a good match for such a great child like our Xinghua?

Yingcai, if you don't like it, don't force yourself. If you don't feel happy in Dayan, just come back. We will always be here waiting for you. You will always be our favorite child. "

"Yes, this uncle will always be your retreat."

Zhang Yingcai felt warm in his heart and hugged the two again: "Uncle, aunt, please rest assured."

"I will work hard in my life and career. No matter where I am, you will always be my dearest ones."

After saying that, he picked up his luggage, turned around and stepped onto the gangway.

Watching Zhang Yingcai step onto the boat, Zhang Yingcai held his wife's hand tightly and whispered, "Xinghua, don't worry. Yingcai has grown up."

Tian Xinghua wiped away her tears and nodded, "Yes, our children are going to spread their wings and fly high."

Zhang Yingcai stood on the deck, looking back, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew that after so many years, it would be hard to see him again.

The boat started slowly, but Zhang Yingcai's eyes never left the dock.

Only when the harbor disappeared from sight did he turn to face the sea.

Facing the sea breeze, he took a deep breath, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"Dayan, here I come."

...

Yangzhou City, deep in the Lu family.

His residence is like a magnificent city within a city, with endless high walls and deep courtyards, and majestic red doors and copper rings.

The courtyard is deep and the pavilions are numerous.

The front hall is spacious and bright, with golden bricks on the floor and sparkling colorful paintings on the beams.

Famous calligraphy and paintings complement the Western crystal chandeliers.

The mahogany furniture is meticulously crafted, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship.

The backyard garden is like a fairyland.

The rockery is rugged, fish are playing in the pond, and pavilions and towers are scattered around.

The winding paths lead to secluded places where flowers bloom.

The breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers fills the air, refreshing the heart.

The sunlight shines through the treetops, casting mottled shadows, like a dream.

In the distance, the sound of stringed instruments can be faintly heard, which is pleasant to the ears.

Deep in this courtyard, Lu Dahai, the leader of the Salt Merchants Alliance, was preaching earnestly to a woman in front of him.
