How can someone travel through time and space and become a beggar?

Xia Chu looked up and saw the person coming, and his eyes turned cold.

If he had just been amazed at first, he wouldn't have liked her that much. But the longer time went on, the more worried he became, and he kept thinking about her. He Suowei raised his eyebrows, and his tone seemed a little aggrieved. "I've been looking for you so hard. Who are you from?"

Xia Chu remembered the last time he had brought people to block her, and she was afraid he might have bad intentions this time. But there were so many people here, so she thought he wouldn't dare to do anything. So she said sarcastically with a fake smile, "I've never seen this young man before, nor have I ever had any contact with him. Why are you asking questions right away? Could you be a county magistrate? Will he ask me where I live, how many people are there, and what I do for a living?"

Lin Lang almost laughed out loud. He pulled Xia Chu's sleeve and whispered, "He's the so-called Mr. He, the cousin of Mr. He Suoyin, who is hosting the banquet today."

He Suo's smile froze, but knowing that this girl was sharp-tongued, it was to be expected. A little girl who was a bit more aggressive and tough was actually more fun. He looked at Xia Chu with burning eyes and continued, "That's right, why don't you tell me quickly so I can take notes."

"I'd like to ask the local owner why he hired yamen runners to check the household registration when he came here to have fun." Xia Chu felt annoyed by his gaze and took two steps back, hiding behind the wall.

"Hey, don't ask. I was just joking with the young lady. Where is she?" He Suo saw no one and walked quickly to the door. After entering, he took a look and saw that the girl was still there. However, since he had come here without hesitation, he should at least greet his cousin first.

While He Suowei was talking to someone, Xia Chu directly climbed out of the window. Bai Wuxia's eyes lit up and he climbed out as well, "Come on, come on, climbing out the window is quite interesting."

When the other noble ladies saw this scene, they couldn't help but frown in disdain.

By the time He Suowei finished his greetings and came over, the girls at that table had already disappeared. He suppressed his anger and asked the servant behind him in a deep voice, "Where are they?"

"Climb through the window, climb through the window and leave." said the servant.

"Climbing through the window? Haha..." Even if you can fly, I will catch you.

"Have you eaten? I'll ask someone to make some for you." He Suoyin didn't like this cousin very much, but since he was here, he couldn't kick him out.

"Make some and eat a few bites to have the strength..." He Suowei laughed evilly, making people's hair stand on end for no reason.

He Suoyin, who knew his personality, looked stern and said, "Cousin, are you alright today?"

"No, nothing's wrong with me." He Suowei shook his fan and smiled calmly.

"That's good. I'm the host today." He Suoyin was both a reminder and a warning.

"I know."

Zhang Zhou and his friends were at another table, but Xu Shiqing pestered them to drink a few glasses of wine. When they left, he realized that his sister had left without waiting for him. He asked the maid, and she said she had left first.

"Where are our girls?" Xu Shiqing glanced quietly at the female guests. They hadn't been served any wine and had just left after eating. They were all gone by now. "Gone? Didn't I tell them to wait for you?"

"Something is wrong. Xiaochu promised it and should not forget it." Zhang Zhou frowned.

"Go find the head maid and ask her where she's been assigned." Xu Shiqing waved his hand, and Biling came over quickly.

"Xia Chu, what's the point in knowing He Suo? He is not a good person!" Lin Lang said.

Mo Qingmei also said: "It's best to stay away from him."

"I find it dirty to even speak to him." Bai Wuxia curled her lips.

Li Yun said slowly, "Judging from what happened just now, Xia Chu is probably being pestered by him, right?"

"Oh, that's annoying." Lin Lang wrinkled his nose. "He's not easy to deal with." Judging from the fabric and accessories Xia Chu wore, her family must be ordinary. How could she handle He's entanglement? However, their families were also not as good as He's, so it was difficult for them to help.

"What should we do?" Bai Wuxia's eyes were sharp. "Let's put a sack on him and beat him up! Make sure he can't get out of bed!"

Lin Lang's eyes widened, and her red lips parted slightly, "What a good idea!"

Li Yun looked at Mo Qingmei and found that she seemed to be thinking about the feasibility of this matter. She rubbed her forehead with a headache and said, "Shut up."

Xia Chu was grateful and relieved that a friend she had just met cared about her so much. "Don't worry, sisters. I'll just avoid him."

Li Yun nodded, her mind now clear. "Let's not separate today. Let's just hide for a while. What's the so-called fickleness? I think I'll forget it soon."

"Okay, Xia Chu and I are inseparable!" Lin Lang said as he nodded.

Bai Wuxia and Mo Qingmei didn't care. If they didn't want to separate, then so be it. In the past, when they went out, they always stayed together.

"Rest for a while. I asked when I came here that we should go up the mountain this afternoon. There is a spring on the mountain, and the topic will be about that spring."

Everyone left and returned to their rooms. Their rooms were next to each other, so if they shouted, they could hear each other.

Xia Chu sighed. What bad luck! I'd run into this scoundrel again. It'd been almost three months since we last met, and he still remembered me. I didn't know if I should call him stubborn or just sick. I'd heard people say that being beautiful and single was a dead end, especially for those without power or financial resources. Their advantages would become burdens. It couldn't possibly be me, could it?

Men were not allowed to enter the women's backyard. Zhang Zhou didn't see his sister and felt a little uneasy.

"There are so many people here, what could happen? Go back and rest first, and come back later." Xu Shiqing patted his friend's shoulder and pulled him away.

He Suo was stopped by someone, his eyes were gloomy and he lowered his voice and said, "Are you sure you want to stop me?"

The servant was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly, "Seventh Young Master, calm down. This is the Fifth Young Master's order. I dare not disobey."

"You're using Brother Wu to pressure me?" He Suowei kicked the man over. "Who do you think you are? How dare you threaten me?"

The servant didn't even have time to cover his chest before he quickly crawled back and knelt down, "I dare not, I dare not."

"Hmph!" He Suowei narrowed his cold eyes, glanced at the backyard, and finally turned and left. No hurry, once we get up the mountain, we won't be able to escape.

Xia Chu and the others followed the maid to the front yard. She looked around. The bad news was that she didn't see her second brother, but the good news was that He Suoyin wasn't there either. There were about twenty male guests and ten female guests. Everyone followed He Suoyin up the mountain. Some, feeling inspired to write poetry, recited as they walked, and the others applauded and praised them.

"Sister Yun, I don't think that person's poem is as good as yours." Lin Lang listened and felt that these people were praising him a little too much.

"Don't talk nonsense." Li Yun glanced at her, but a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.

This mountain path had clearly been carved, free of thorns and weeds, and had been leveled as much as possible. To the left was a delightful stream, merrily rushing down the mountain. Listening to the gurgling sound as it meandered upward, a cool breeze blew in, carrying the fragrance of grass and trees. My head, a little dazed after my nap, slowly cleared. In early summer, I took a deep breath, savoring the scent of nature.

The spring, the source of the stream, wasn't far away, and we arrived soon. Water poured out from a crack in the rocks, flowing into a small pool. The servants from the farm had already come up the mountain, and the tables and chairs were ready. There was no shortage of tea, snacks, or fruit.

He Suoyin leaned over and extended his hand, motioning for everyone to sit down. "Everyone, this tea is made with fresh mountain spring water. You can taste it and see if it tastes the same as the tea at home."
