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

After Xia Chu finished washing up, she yawned as she saw Zhang Zhou coming out of Wang Qiuyu's room. "Second brother, have you finished teaching Qiuyu?"

"Yeah." Zhang Zhou responded with a chuckle, "I told him a good story about being careful with what you say and do."

"Okay, second brother, go to bed early." Xia Chu waved and returned to his room.

Dong Xiaohuan told Wang Yong about this at night, and Wang Yong agreed. Jia Qingwu didn't seem like someone who would force herself on others, so perhaps she had a solution. We were all family, so being too polite would be alienating.

In the morning, Jia Qingwu packed up the apology gifts she was going to take with her and prepared to go out with Wang Qiuyu in her hand.

"Why don't I go too?" Xia Chu was a little worried.

"No need, just stay home." If she just went there, she would definitely be scolded in a sarcastic tone. Jia Qingwu was reluctant to let Xia Chu suffer this.

As a result, Jia Qingwu and the others didn't return until the afternoon. Xia Chu waited all day, and when she heard the dog barking, she hurried over to greet them, "Why are you so late?"

"Sister! He Rui and I have reconciled. We played together today and even had dinner at their house." Wang Qiuyu looked very happy. "But their food is not as delicious as ours."

Reconciled? And was he even invited to dinner? Xia Chu looked at Jia Qingwu in surprise. Wasn't he there to apologize? "What happened?"

Jia Qingwu smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. That kid's family isn't unreasonable."

Is this the social skill of a lady from a wealthy family? Xia Chu blinked. It was too strong.

Dong Xiaohuan was also very happy when she came back and learned about this. She pulled Jia Qingwu and kept thanking her.

What’s even more amazing is that a few days later, Jia Qingwu received an invitation to a banquet, which was sent by He Rui’s mother.

"Summer Resort?" Xia Chu read the post. "Why did they invite me? Do you want to go?"

"Of course I'll go." Jia Qingwu put away the invitation. This was her first step towards entering the social circle in Lin'an. She needed to build good relationships with these ladies so that she wouldn't be left without a way out when opening a shop or looking for help.

Not only did he make friends just by coming to apologize, but he even got invited to a banquet. Xia Chu had to admit it and then asked, "Do you want me to go with you?"

Jia Qingwu pondered for a moment, then slowly shook her head, "I won't take you with me for now. Once I'm familiar with the place, I'll take you out to play."

She only knew Madam He and had never met anyone else. She wasn't sure about their temperaments, so it wouldn't be convenient to take Xia Chu with her. If they were difficult to get along with or were exclusive, she was afraid she would suffer some injustice. Jia Qingwu didn't want her daughter to suffer even a little injustice, so she decided to wait until they were familiar with each other.

Xia Chu was a little worried, "Is it okay for Mom to go alone?"

"Don't worry, Mom knows what's going on." Jia Qingwu gently smoothed her daughter's hair. "Nothing will happen."

Xia Chu was still worried, so she secretly wrote down the time and place of the banquet. She wanted to ask Bai Wuxia's mother if she was going, so that she could take care of her if she was.

The next day, she went to the Bai family and asked Bai Wuxia if she knew about the banquet. If Mrs. Bai attended, she hoped she could take care of Jia Qingwu.

"I don't know. I'll go ask my mother." Bai Wuxia didn't like to attend these ladies' banquets. She called Shiyue and asked Shiyue to ask.

"Thank you, Wuxia." Xia Chu was most familiar with Bai Wuxia and had met her mother several times. She was a kind and patient person, and her words and actions made people feel comfortable. Bai Wuxia had said that her father had a quick temper, but as soon as he was in the presence of Madam Bai, his temper would soften. Even if Madam Bai frowned, he would carefully coax her.

After a while, Shiyue came back and said that Madam was going, and that she could go to Wang's house and wait for Madam Jia to go together.

Xia Chu was delighted at first, then quickly said: "How can this be good! I will ask my mother to come to Bai Mansion and set off together."

"Madam said that if Miss Wang insists, then let's do it this way." Mrs. Bai expected that Xia Chu might refuse, and told Shiyue that if Xia Chu insisted, it would be okay to let Madam Jia come over.

"Wuxia, thank your mother for me." Xia Chu said happily.

"It's a small matter." Bai Wuxia waved her hand.

After Jia Qingwu attended a banquet at the He family, she unexpectedly met Mrs. Bai and they often went to various banquets together, and in their spare time they would make appointments to drink tea and chat together.

Xia Chu was the happiest person. She had been worried that Jia Qingwu wouldn't be able to adapt. But Jia Qingwu adapted very well and now had good friends with whom she often went out to play.

That day, Jia Qingwu packed up and prepared to go out for fun. Xia Chu looked at the joyful smile on her face and smiled too, "Where are you going today?"

"Let's go fishing." Jia Qingwu said a little embarrassedly, "I told Sister Bai about my first time fishing last time. She was very surprised and asked me to go fishing with her today. Are you coming, Xia Xia?"

"I'm not going." Xia Chu waved his hands repeatedly. Air Force guys have no interest in fishing. "You guys go have fun. I don't want to go out today. I'll just stay home and write music."

"Then I'll bring back some fish and we'll cook it tonight." Jia Qingwu was very confident in her luck in fishing. She had been there several times and had never come back empty-handed.

"Okay, let's make a fish feast tonight." Xia Chu said with a smile.

Xia Chu held the pipa for a long time, but felt no inspiration. Looking at the muddy ground in the garden where many flowers had withered, she simply took the money and went out to buy some flowers.

The old farmer who sells flowers and plants lives a bit far away, near the northern city wall. Houses there are affordable and spacious. Xiachu often buys from that farmer. They also sell seeds, but they're more troublesome and time-consuming to care for. So she usually buys seedlings. The old woman takes good care of the flowers, and the ones she brings home always thrive.

Xia Chu didn't know how to grow flowers at first; she just liked them. But she didn't seem to have much talent. Although she planted most of the flowers in the garden, Guan Xu was responsible for their care. Many flowers were infested with insects, especially white mustard beetles, which were the size of sesame seeds and could become densely packed if there were too many.

The first time she saw them, Xia Chu's trypophobia kicked in, and she got goose bumps all over her body. She was about to dig up all the flowers and throw them away, but Guan Xu said he had a solution. He went to the herbal medicine shop, bought some herbs, boiled them, and watered the flowers. Within a few days, all the insects fell to the ground and died.

At the time, Xia Chu was puzzled. Why did Guan Xu know how to treat flower insects? But Guan Xu's childhood memories were a bit vague. It seemed that his mother liked to raise these, and he had seen her deal with them. He couldn't remember much else, but he remembered his mother very clearly.

Xia Chu often thought that Guan Xu's mother must be a beautiful and gentle person. Unfortunately, her life was ruined by a scumbag.

"Grandma Chang, I'm here to buy flowers!" Xia Chu arrived and went to the door herself. Grandma Chang's family actually had a stall in the city, but they couldn't carry many flowers. After Xia Chu got familiar with the place, she came here on her own. After she picked out her flowers, Grandma Chang would have her son deliver them to her home, which was very convenient.
