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

Lin Lang sat for a while, worried about being harassed by Xu Shiqing. Unexpectedly, he was quite honest. He felt relieved immediately, thinking perhaps the rumors were false.

Today's theme is water, and we're not limited to poetry. You can write an essay about water, paint a landscape, or, if you're good at a musical instrument, play a water-related piece.

In short, the scope is very large and you can play freely.

Lin Lang was absorbed in his painting, Li Yun was lost in thought over a sheet of paper, and Mo Qingmei was probably composing music, writing and playing the flute. Only Bai Wuxia was idly playing with her whip. She looked around and saw that Xia Chu wasn't moving either, so she went over to chat, "Xia Chu, what are you going to do?"

Xia Chu was actually picking out a song in his mind. When he heard her question, he replied, "Playing the pipa."

Bai Wuxia sighed, "Am I the only one without the brain to create talent?"

Xia Chu couldn't help but chuckle, "Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. Why bother comparing your own shortcomings with others?"

"But there's no one here to challenge me." Bai Wuxia drooped his head, "It's not fun."

Lin Lang replied without even turning around, "Sister Yun was afraid you'd be bored, so she didn't invite you today. Who would have thought you'd come here on your own?"

Bai Wuxia pouted and turned to one side, with one cheek puffed up and looking very cute. "Then it won't be fun for me to be home alone."

Xia Chu looked at Zhang Zhou and said, "Second brother, make a dragonfly for me."

Zhang Zhou nodded and pulled out some grass.

Bai Wuxia held her chin in her hand, tapping the ground with the whip in her hand. A green object appeared on the table in front of her. She opened her eyes wide in surprise, "What is this?"

Xia Chu smiled and said, "Dragonfly, play with it."

"That's amazing, did you make it?" Bai Wuxia picked it up carefully. It really looked like a little dragonfly.

"What? Let me see?" Lin Lang turned around, and Mo Qingmei and Li Yun also looked over. The four girls surrounded the small, ordinary grass dragonfly and marveled at it.

"Good boy, I didn't know you had this skill before." Xu Shiqing nodded at Zhang Zhou with a hint of expectation on his face, "Give me one too."

Zhang Zhou made a butterfly for him. Xu Shiqing held it in his hand and said happily, "Take this back. Won't the sisters go crazy fighting over it?" As he said this, he turned around to look at Zhang Zhou. Zhang Zhou quickly turned his head away and pretended to be busy.

Ten more? Absolutely impossible!

Xia Chu thought of a few tunes, but wasn't quite satisfied. He began to daydream, the sound of gurgling water and the recitations of talented scholars and women filling his ears, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

The mountains are shaded by green trees, and the air is fresh and clear. Talented men and beautiful women sit on both sides, and from time to time someone stands up to show everyone what he has done.

The servants were busy running back and forth adding tea and water and preparing food.

Lin Lang included everyone in the painting, sketching out each character, regardless of master or servant.

He Suowei walked slowly towards them, locking onto the location of Xia Chu and the others. He didn't take them seriously, but with his cousin here, he couldn't act too recklessly. He had to find a way to lure the woman out alone.

Lu Renjia came forward and said flatteringly, "Master He, where shall we sit?"

"I think Xu Shiqing is doing well." He Suowei said.

Lu Renjia paused for a moment, then immediately responded, "I'll have someone carry the table."

Xu Shiqing saw the person who appeared next to him, and his eyes almost rolled up to the sky. "Bad luck."

Zhang Zhou took a look after hearing this and also felt it was unlucky.

"Isn't this Mr. Xu? What kind of poem did he write? Let us appreciate it." He Suowei said with a smile.

Xu Shiqing didn't even raise his head, pretending not to hear.

Seeing that he didn't respond, He Suowei said casually, "Oh, there's a bug crawling on Mr. Xu's clothes."

Even though he knew he was probably lying, Xu Shiqing couldn't help but look down at himself. "Zhang Zhou!"

As soon as Zhang Zhou saw He Suo's smile, he knew he was being servile, and hurriedly comforted Xu Shiqing, "There are no bugs. There is insect repellent powder sprinkled around, and the sachet on your waist also repels insects. Don't panic."

He Suowei sneered and walked behind Xia Chu. The servants behind him immediately brought a chair. He lifted the hem of his clothes and sat down. "My dear, how are you?"

Xia Chu heard his voice but ignored it. Zhang Zhou frowned. This scoundrel had actually set his sights on Xia Chu. It was a dirty trick to even get involved with a guy like him, and since his family was not ordinary, he was afraid there would be trouble.

"Young lady, why are you ignoring me?" He Suowei stretched out his hand, just as he was about to touch Xia Chu's shoulder. Xia Chu suddenly dodged to the side, and Zhang Zhou was already standing between them. "Mr. He, please respect yourself."

He Suowei's expression darkened. "What do you want? Get out of here!"

"That's his own sister. Do you think he has anything to do with her? Mr. He has a terrible reputation, and he still doesn't know how to control himself. He's a real disgrace to scholars." Xu Shiqing's face was filled with disdain. Although he was also ranked among the "Ten Ladies," he wasn't interested in sex, but simply appreciated beautiful things. He was completely different from a playboy like He Suo, and he was often ashamed of him.

"Your sister?" He Suowei narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and continued, "So it's Madam Zhang. Your brother and I were classmates and had a very good relationship. You can just call me Brother He."

How could someone be so shameless? Xu Shiqing was speechless.

"Mr. He." Xia Chu bowed slowly and said, "I am composing music, please do as you please, Mr. He." After saying that, he sat down and no longer looked at him.

"I didn't expect that Brother Zhang has such a pretty sister. Why didn't he bring her out... Ah! Xu Shiqing! Why did you hit me!" Lu Renjia had a lewd smile on his face. He had just said half of his words when Zhang Zhou clenched his fists. He was about to take action when Xu Shiqing took the lead.

Xu Shiqing looked even angrier than Zhang Zhou. He pointed at Lu Renjia's nose and cursed, "Why should I bring my sister to you? Who are you? Don't you have any sisters at home? You speak so recklessly, claiming to be a scholar. I feel dirty and disgusted just being around you."

Hiss, my hand hurts a little, I need to use something to hit it next time. Xu Shiqing curled his fingers, he had wanted to teach this guy a lesson just now, and finally he got the chance.

Although Lu Renjia had just provoked Xu Shiqing, he didn't dare to actually fight. His family background wasn't as good as Xu Shiqing's, and he only dared to speak out because he relied on He Suowei's backing. But if Xu Shiqing hit him, he couldn't fight back. He turned to look at He Suowei, but He Suowei just glanced at him and returned his gaze to Xia Chu.

Lu Renjia knew that Xu Shiqing would not stand up for him, so he covered his face and said to Xu Shiqing, "You fight over a disagreement. Do you think you are worthy of being called a scholar?"

Xu Shiqing sneered, "So what if I'm not worthy? I'm not like some people who, relying on having read a few books, look down on others and even look down on their own family members."

Xia Chu pulled Zhang Zhou's arm, how did they start fighting?

Lin Lang looked at Li Yun and saw her shaking her head slightly at him, so he could only shut up. However, his impression of Xu Shiqing had changed. He had originally thought that he was a playboy, but he didn't expect that the rumors were wrong.
