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

Zhang Zhou looked at Xu Shiqing who was still slowly fixing his hair and urged him, "Brother Xu, please hurry up. I need to go find my sister."

"Women are definitely slower than us, why rush?" Xu Shiqing smoothed every strand of hair that had fallen, and looked at himself in the mirror for a long time before he was satisfied. "Let's go find our sister."

When the two arrived at the backyard, the servant told them that everyone had already set out and would probably arrive by now.

Xu Shiqing coughed twice and ran up the mountain under Zhang Zhou's gaze. "Brother Zhang, I didn't expect we were too late. Let's go catch up with my sister."

Along the way, servants were ferrying things back and forth, so they didn't get lost. Halfway through, they encountered another group of people, led by the person Xu Shiqing hated the most.

"Isn't this Mr. Xu? He's running in such a hurry, isn't he afraid of his hair getting messy?" He Suowei said sarcastically, shaking his fan.

Xu Shiqing touched his hair subconsciously and quickly realized, "Why are there flies on this mountain? They're buzzing so much, it's so annoying."

"I didn't see any flies. Maybe they specifically bite people who love beauty like Mr. Xu? We are too dirty." He Suowei laughed after he said that, and the people who accompanied him also laughed.

"Mr. Xu really takes your poor dog with him everywhere. Hey, Mr. Zhang, how much do you make a day?" Lu Renjia behind He Suowei said with a malicious smile.

Xu Shiqing's expression turned cold, and he stared at Lu Renjia and was about to go over. Zhang Zhou grabbed his arm and said, "Shiqing, let's go."

"What? Mr. Xu wants to hit me? Aren't you afraid of getting your clothes dirty?" Lu Renjia said with a smile.

Xu Shiqing has loved cleanliness since he was a child. He once disliked Lu Renjia for being sloppy and has been hating him ever since.

"Brother Lu, you speak so bluntly. What if Brother Xu gets angry and cries?" He Suowei laughed.

Zhang Zhou walked a few steps with Xu Shiqing in tow. Upon hearing this, he turned back abruptly and stared at He Suowei, saying, "Mr. He, we're all in the same city, so we'll meet someday. It's best not to go too far."

He Suowei sneered, "Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of talking to me?"

Xu Shiqing was about to leave when he heard this. He suddenly shook off Zhang Zhou's hand, but he hugged his waist again and said, "Let go!"

"Calm down! Let's go!" After all, Zhang Zhou was stronger than Xu Shiqing, so he dragged the man away by force.

"Let me go! I'll fight him!" Xu Shiqing struggled desperately, broke free from his left hand, but his right hand was grabbed again, making him extremely annoyed.

"My hair is messy." Zhang Zhou said calmly.

Xu Shiqing stopped immediately, took out a small mirror from his waist, looked around but couldn't see where it was messed up. "Where is it messed up?"

"Why bother with people like them? We'll only suffer if we fight." Zhang Zhou pulled him forward, "I haven't seen my sister yet."

"If you don't know, you would think your sister is only five years old and will be lost if you don't keep an eye on her." Xu Shiqing said angrily, "Let go, my clothes are wrinkled."

"Just treat it as a dog barking, don't take it to heart." Zhang Zhou comforted him when he saw that he was still angry.

Xu Shiqing took the mirror back and said, "I'm not angry. What's wrong with me being clean? Even if they say that about you, aren't you angry? Zhang Xin isn't here today, otherwise, what's the point of saying dare or not? Where the hell is Zhang Xin?"

"Let's go play at the military camp." Zhang Zhou didn't care about what those people said, nor was he angry. They were completely different people, and talking to them seemed like a waste of time.

The two finally arrived, and Zhang Zhou saw his sister at first sight. Seeing that she was fine, he felt relieved.

Xia Chu felt someone looking at her, turned around and saw it was her second brother, she ran over with her skirt lifted. "Second brother, why are you so late?"

Xu Shiqing touched his nose and said, "Sister, you're here early."

Zhang Zhou glanced at him and said to his sister gently, "Have you rested well? Why didn't you wait for me? Aren't you tired of carrying the pipa up here?"

"I'm not tired. Second brother, come and sit with us." There were still two seats on Xia Chu's side, which was just right.

"Let's go." Xu Shiqing took the lead and walked over there.

"Second brother, they've already started. They're using water as the theme, and the poems are open to all." Xia Chu told him about what happened before he arrived as they walked. "Two talented people have already finished their poems."

Zhang Zhou nodded. "Well, no rush. I had an idea when I came up here just now."

Lin Lang secretly observed Xu Shiqing. She had heard that he was a playboy who particularly enjoyed teasing pretty girls. She shrank back, wondering how he ended up sitting there.

Lin Lang was just thinking, "Don't talk to me!" when Xu Shiqing turned his head and bowed. "Meet the ladies. You are my friends, as well as my friends. If you have anything to say, just let me know."

"This is my sister." Zhang Zhou was walking over here. "Meet the ladies. I'm Xia Chu's second brother, Zhang Zhou."

Lin Lang and others stood up to greet him. After they got acquainted, Zhang Zhou pushed Xu Shiqing and sat on the side closer to his sister.

Xu Shiqing grumbled dissatisfiedly, "I also want to sit next to my sister. My sister is very beautiful."

Zhang Zhou slowly turned his head and asked, "You said I'm ugly?"

Xu Shiqing glanced at Xia Chu again and said, "He's not ugly. If you were ugly, I wouldn't be your brother. I'm just tired of looking at him. Your brother is also good-looking, especially Guan Xu. Can't you really let Guan Xu live in my house for a while? If I saw that face every day, I would be so cheerful. My sisters would be very happy too."

Zhang Zhou couldn't help but shudder at the mention of Xu Shiqing's sisters. Of ten sisters, Xu Shiqing was the youngest, and they practically raised him like their own sons. Yet, he wasn't spoiled, simply having a different personality than the average man. He loved beauty and cleanliness, couldn't stand dirt, and couldn't stand even the slightest odor of sweat. He disdained those who were ugly and dishonest, and didn't like others touching him, yet he had no qualms about touching others.

One time, He Suowei's gang deliberately smeared stinky yellow mud on him, making him smelly and dirty, and he refused to take off his clothes. He broke down and cried out of anger. He Suowei would often make fun of this incident, saying that he was a woman disguised as a man and spread rumors that they were gay.

Xu Shiqing had many minor flaws, but in Zhang Zhou's eyes, he was just a little spoiled, but in his heart he was a kind and upright person.

When he first entered the academy, because his family was poor, it was common for him to be looked down upon and bullied. Fortunately, his elder brother was there, and the two of them were together, so life was relatively good.

But later, my eldest brother gave up studying and started practicing martial arts. He had a hard time for a while. It was then that he met Xu Shiqing. He was washing his brush in the ink pool when someone pushed him in. A group of people surrounded him and laughed. He was soaked and his brush fell into the pool.

At the time, Xu Shiqing was also dressed in white. He preferred white because it felt clean. Being such a clean person, he never liked anyone touching him. He was the only one who reached out and held his hand by the pool. Well, he only spent a quarter of an hour washing his hands afterwards. If you didn't know better, you'd think the ink pool was filthy.

The two of them became acquainted, and with Zhang Xin, the three of them often hung out together. Zhang Xin was the prefect's youngest son, so He Suo didn't dare to provoke him, and their lives became easier.
