Zhao Huazhang didn't come along, but he arranged for Qingsong to come along. He was waiting at the intersection early. He recognized the Jia family's car and went to meet it when he saw it.

The village was halfway up a mountain, and carriages couldn't go up, so they had to walk a distance. Qingsong was worried that the women couldn't walk the distance, so he also prepared sedan chairs.

But it was not used. Bai Wuxia and Xia Chu did not want to take the sedan chair and wanted to walk up the mountain. Wang Qiuyu looked at Qingsong eagerly, and Qingsong immediately understood and asked him if he needed a sedan chair.

"He doesn't need it." Guan Xu smiled and pulled his brother back, "Let's all go up."

"Third brother, I'll just sit for a while. I've never ridden in a sedan chair before." Wang Qiuyu requested in a low voice.

"Your sisters are all walking, and you, a man, want to take a sedan chair. Are you sure?" Guan Xu's words hit the nail on the head, and Wang Qiuyu really didn't mention it again.

Bai Wuxia secretly glanced at Guan Xu a few times, and the more she looked at him, the more she felt that this person was too exquisite. He didn't look like a real person, but more like a puppet carefully carved by someone.

Xia Chu glanced at her and said, "Watch the road, Miss Bai."

Bai Wuxia shrugged at her, "What's so funny? You're just used to seeing it every day."

"Actually, I'm not that used to it. He's fine when he doesn't have any expression, but it's when he smiles that he attracts people." Xia Chu said, and then her expression darkened as she thought of something in the past. "Third brother basically doesn't smile in front of outsiders anymore."

Bai Wuxia didn't notice her expression and was still looking back. "Really? At most, he'll curl his lips. How good is his smile? Can you make your brother smile?"

Xia Chu said slowly, "We'll meet if we're destined to."

We were all still in good shape, resting only once halfway up the mountain. It was hot, but the cooler it got the further we went. The mountain breeze was cool on our bodies, and the sweat quickly dried. The air was no longer hot, and the nagging sticky feeling finally subsided.

"It's so cool." Wang Qiuyu looked up at the tall trees around him and saw a big-tailed squirrel on a high branch. He pulled his third brother's arm in surprise and said, "Third brother, third brother, a squirrel! A squirrel! Look! Over there!"

Guan Xu looked over and saw the squirrel hiding in the tree canopy as if frightened.

"Young Master, do you like these?" Qingsong said with a smile, "There are many small animals around the village. Let them catch one for you to keep as a pet."

"Really?" Wang Qiuyu's eyes widened. "Is it okay?"

"Yes, there are plenty of them in the mountains. Sometimes they even come to the farm to steal food, which is very annoying. Sometimes they catch them, it's not difficult." Qingsong said with a smile. As for what they catch them for, they are definitely not kept for fun. Animals that steal food will not have a good end.

Xia Chu also heard this. She was thinking, "Squirrels are so timid, is it really possible to keep them?" She was afraid they would be scared to death after a few days.

"Qingjing Villa?" Bai Wuxia looked up at the plaque. The servants of the villa were waiting at the door, their attitude very respectful. She approached Xia Chu and asked, "Whose villa is this?"

"A friend." In front of so many people, Xia Chu didn't want to say much to her and pulled her inside.

"Hello, Miss Wang. How are you?" The leading Zhuangzi manager stepped forward with a smile.

"No need to be so polite." Xia Chu raised his hand.

"Thank you, Miss Wang. Please come in." The steward of the manor led the way. "The guest rooms have been cleaned and ice has been put in them. Ladies and gentlemen, please come in and cool down. For lunch, we have roe deer that were delivered this morning. They are still alive..."

As we walked, he introduced in great detail the places to visit in the village, the delicious food, and the fun things to do nearby.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xia Chu nodded.

"If you don't know, you would think this is your farm." Bai Wuxia smiled as he saw the farm leader walking away.

Xia Chu ignored her and took a sip of the plum drink on the table. A cool breeze flowed down her esophagus into her stomach, and her body temperature seemed to drop by two degrees. It felt incredibly comfortable. She said, "Let's think about where to go first."

"It's so hot, there's no fun anywhere." Bai Wuxia was not in the mood.

Wang Qiuyu finished his drink as soon as he sat down, then looked around curiously. After hearing what Xia Chu and Bai Wuxia said, he said excitedly: "I want to go play!"

"Third brother will play with you." Xia Chucai was not willing to play with him. This kid was too energetic. Most people couldn't handle playing with him. Besides, he was older now and not as easy to fool as before.

Guan Xu had no objection to this arrangement. He looked at Wang Qiuyu and asked, "Where do you want to go?"

"Let's go for a walk?" Wang Qiuyu pulled him. "Can we go hunting? I brought my slingshot! I can shoot rabbits and pheasants!"

The two of them discussed and started walking. Bai Wuxia moved, as if wanting to follow. "Shall we go play too?"

Xia Chu glanced at her and imitated her tone, "It's so hot, there's no fun anywhere."

"Oh, you're so annoying." Bai Wuxia pushed Xia Chu, but forgot to hold back, narrowly avoiding pushing him to the ground. She quickly grabbed his arm and pulled him back, "I'm sorry, are you okay?"

Of course, it was nothing, but Xia Chu brushed her hand away, pretending to be shy, "Talk nicely, don't pull or I'll scream molest."

Bai Wuxia was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

After laughing and joking for a while, someone brought a small plate of cherries. They were a little bigger than the tip of a little finger, but they tasted very sweet and fragrant.

"There are cherries at this time of year?" Xia Chu was a little surprised.

"This is the last batch. It's cool in the mountains, so they ripen later." The maid from the farm bowed and came forward with a smile. "Young lady, you like it. I'll send some more."

"Ah? So many? Aren't you going to send some to your young master?" Xia Chu just said it casually, but there was really nothing to choose from these cherries.

"No need. I'll keep all the recent things here to see if the young ladies and young masters like anything." Qingfeng said. Qingsong brought the young master's message, saying that the recent harvest from the mountains did not need to be sent to the city, and he should just treat his friends well. If there were any extra things they liked, they could take them away before leaving.

Zhao Huazhang had made all the necessary arrangements and even sent Qingsong here. She smiled slightly and said, "Well, I understand. You can go down first."

"What young master? Which young master? Why is he so nice to you?" Bai Wuxia asked three questions at once, his eyes fixed on Xia Chu. He looked smug, as if he had caught Xia Chu.

Xia Chu had no intention of hiding this from her friends. She was very familiar with Bai Wuxia and had long considered her a close friend. There was no need to hide this kind of thing, so she briefly explained her relationship with Zhao Huazhang.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Bai Wuxia didn't say anything else, but instead touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Xia Chu felt that his smile was a little creepy.

"I think your idea is great!" Bai Wuxia's eyes lit up. "Get to know each other first! Then decide whether to marry each other."
