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

As noon approached, Mo Lian quietly reminded her young lady that it was time to go home. Li Yun looked up and saw the sun was at its zenith, so she prepared to leave.

"Have lunch before you leave. If I let you go back like this, my mother will definitely scold me when she gets home." The cooking was in a hurry, and she had so much time, it wouldn't be nice to leave the guests hanging. "I'll go to the restaurant and order a table of dishes. Do you have any dietary restrictions?"

Li Yun didn't want to cause her any trouble, "We have food prepared at home."

"I still want to play with Da'an and Xiao'an." Bai Wuxia hugged Da'an's neck, reluctant to let go.

Li Yun looked at Lin Lang. She took a ball and played with Xiao An. She threw it out, and Xiao An brought it back to her. The man and the dog were very happy watching. Mo Qingmei stood in line at the side and said, "It's my turn to throw it!"

I don't know how old these two are this year. Looking at Bai Wuxia who was holding Da'an eagerly, Li Yun sighed helplessly. "Let Mo Lian go."

There was no one else at home. Xia Chu looked around and fixed her eyes on Da'an. When it was young, it often worked and could help deliver things to the store. It was familiar with the road. It was only after it grew bigger that it rarely went out. "Why don't we let Da'an go?"

"Ah?" Li Yun and the other three were stunned when they heard this.

Lin Lang looked at Da'an, "Did I hear wrongly?"

"A dog goes shopping?" Bai Wuxia looked at Xia Chu and then at Da'an, incredulous.

"Sure, Da'an's been there before, and the shopkeeper knows him. Let's write a menu and give him some money as a deposit. The waiter will help deliver it." Xia Chu trusted Da'an very much; he was a very smart dog. Of course, Xiao'an was also smart, but he was more lively and not as steady and reliable as Da'an. She went to the study and brought over paper, pen, and ink. "Is there anything you guys would like to eat? Da'an only knows the way to Wangbin Restaurant, and I don't know if you guys are used to eating there."

"I've been there, their rich chicken is delicious." Mo Qingmei said.

"Okay, Fortune Chicken." The others also said one, and Xia Chu added two more, putting them in a small bag with a piece of silver. Then he asked Da An to hold it in his mouth, "Go, buy some food for my sister, okay?"

Da'an looked at Xia Chu. Xia Chu repeated the words and shook the bag in his mouth. Da'an shook his head and ran to the door. Xia Chu followed him and watched him pry open the bolt with his claws. Lin Lang looked at Da'an in surprise as he ran away. "You really understand it?"

"Are dogs really that smart?" Li Yun asked doubtfully.

"I really want to raise one." Bai Wuxia looked even more envious.

"Why wouldn't I believe it? I want to go and see for myself." Lin Lang said as he followed.

"I'm going too!" Bai Wuxia ran quickly.

Mo Qingmei looked at Li Yun and couldn't help but follow.

Xia Chu covered her mouth and smiled, "Sister Yun, do you want to go and take a look too?"

Li Yun hesitated, but then thought it was too strange for such a large group of people to follow a dog. So she shook her head and said, "Let's wait."

Fortunately, Bai Wuxia and the others returned soon. Lin Lang looked dazed, "It really went to Wangbin Restaurant."

"Still squatting at the door waiting for the food." Bai Wuxia continued.

"I won't give the bag to anyone else, I'll only give it to the shopkeeper," said Mo Qingmei.

Lin Lang found it unbelievable. "This is amazing! Could this dog be a spirit?"

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Xiao An suddenly cried out, startling Lin Lang, who was combing his fur. "What's wrong with him? Did I hurt him?"

"Da'an is back." Xia Chu stood up to open the door. Da'an returned with a waiter from Wangbin Restaurant. The waiter carried a large food box on each side and smiled at the sight of him. "Miss Wang, the food is ready."

"Thank you." Xia Chu let him in, waited for him to set the table, and paid him the remaining money.

"Okay, if you want to collect the dishes early, ask Daan to go there, or else he can come and collect them before dinner." The waiter gave instructions and left.

"Why is Da'an so smart?" Bai Wuxia had become familiar with Da'an and held its face and rubbed it.

"Okay, come and eat." Li Yun saw that Da'an's fur was standing on end because of her rubbing, and she was afraid that the dog would get up and bite her, so she quickly stopped him.

After dinner, they were all a little tired. Xia Chu took them to her room to rest, but the room was not big enough for a nap.

"If your Da'an has puppies, you must give me one." Bai Wuxia said.

"If I have it, I will definitely give it to you." Xia Chu agreed readily.

Li Yun looked around the room. It was simple and plain. A bouquet of flowers, picked from the garden, sat on the small table by the window. The faint fragrance of flowers filled the room, making it very comfortable. The pipa rested on the bed, and it was clear that the owner must have loved it very much.

Xia Chu took out the pipa and said, "I have finished composing the piece of music at home these past two days. Why don't I play it for everyone to enjoy?"

"Okay." Lin Lang clapped his hands.

Everyone was immersed in the sound of the piano. Li Yun closed his eyes and thought, and suddenly wanted to write a lyric for this song.

In the afternoon, they gathered in the study to write lyrics for Xia Chu's music. Lin Lang said she wanted to paint a picture of the five sisters and Da'an and Xiao'an when she got home. Mo Qingmei asked hesitantly, "Xia Chu, can you give me a copy of the music?" Her face flushed slightly after she finished speaking. Growing up, she rarely asked anyone other than her parents for anything.

"Of course, I'm so happy that you like me."

Xia Chu had a very happy day. When Dong Xiaohuan came back and saw her smiling face, she couldn't help but relax as well.

Dong Xiaohuan prayed every day that she wouldn't get any scars. The first thing she did when she returned was to examine the scars on her face. She noticed that she seemed particularly happy today, her smile sweeter than usual. She smiled and asked, "So happy? What's the good news?"

"I made some friends at the literary gathering, and they came to see me today. They brought quite a few gifts, Mom, take a look." Xia Chu pulled her into the room and showed her the things they had brought. Most of them were women's items, delicate little accessories, handkerchiefs, and sachets.

"No wonder, it's good to make friends." Dong Xiaohuan was also happy. She took her hand and said, "Did you treat me well? You should have asked Da'an to call me back. How did you do it by yourself?"

"I asked Da'an to order a table of food and wine." Xia Chu pulled her to sit down and talked about what happened today. "They have never raised a dog, but they like Da'an and Xiao'an very much. They even said they want to raise Da'an's future puppies."

After that, although Xia Chu still stayed indoors, Bai Wuxia would come over whenever she had time. She truly loved Da'an, and she would always bring some meat and bones, saying they were for Da'an and Xiao'an. Others would come over when they had time, but when they didn't, Bai Wuxia would come alone.

With more people around, Xia Chu seemed more cheerful than before. She was even inspired to compose another cheerful song.

Bai Wuxia even invited her to visit their home once her face healed, and the others all expressed their welcome. Lin Lang said he would definitely invite her to see his studio when she went.

This time, Bai Wuxia came over with a piece of news. He Suoyin was planning to invite others to the hunting grounds he had promised last time. "Are you going, Xia Chu?"

Even if Xia Chu hadn't heard Bai Wuxia and the others say, she knew from their names that He Suoyin and He Suowei were definitely related. Still reeling from what happened last time, she declined, "I won't go."
