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

After returning from Dongli Villa, Jia Qingwu was visibly happy. She smiled until bedtime, and she chatted with Xia Chu about their youth. Most of it involved Li Xuemu, who had both enjoyed some fame in Huizhou.

After several scholars heard her playing the pipa, they even wrote a few poems for her. After the news spread, many people came to propose marriage to her.

Li Xuemu was very good at dancing, especially dancing on drums. The two of them once performed together at a banquet and were highly praised.

Li Xuemu's current husband was captivated by her dancing at a banquet. After five proposals, he finally won her heart. Perhaps because it was hard-won, Li Xuemu's husband treated her with utmost kindness, always accommodating her every request. Their relationship has always been strong. Li Xuemu was also fortunate, having given birth to three sons, securing her a secure position in her husband's family. There were no concubines, who would have been an eyesore.

"So her personality hasn't changed at all." Jia Qingwu showed a nostalgic expression, wondering what she was thinking about.

"Mom is so happy to see her good friend today. From now on, we will often go to visit Aunt Xuemu." Xia Chu said.

"That won't do..." Jia Qingwu said softly, looking at Xia Chu, hesitant to speak.

"Why?" Xia Chu asked puzzled.

"Your aunt Xuemu's second son is still unmarried..." Jia Qingwu thought of what Li Xuemu had said today and said helplessly, "She said she wanted to marry someone close to her. Although Xuemu has a good personality and the man she married has a good reputation, I didn't know his character after all, so I didn't dare to agree to it casually. Besides," she looked at Xia Chu, "I remember you said you felt you were still young and hadn't thought about getting married, so you refused."

It was certainly nice to have someone remember and respect what you said. But Xia Chu worried, "If I just reject you directly, will Aunt Xuemu be unhappy?"

If it were anyone else, maybe, but Li Xuemu... Jia Qingwu smiled and shook her head, "She'll only get angry if you're perfunctory. Xuemu is a straightforward person, and she's most impatient with hesitation and procrastination. If you reject her directly, she won't get angry, nor will she care."

That personality is quite good, complementing Jia Qingwu perfectly. From her observation, Jia Qingwu is someone who likes to keep everything to herself, prone to internal friction, and sensitive. These two people became friends, and Jia Qingwu was forced to speak her mind in front of Li Xuemu.

As soon as Jia Wanlin got home, he went to see his mother. But he saw his mother rubbing her forehead, and her face was not very good. "Mom, what's wrong? Are you sick?"

Madam Jia smiled at her daughter and said, "Nothing, just that your grandmother came over today."

"Grandmother?" Jia Wanlin thought of his aunt's recent visit, and a light bulb went off in his head. He frowned and asked, "Could it be my aunt who came to see me?"

Mrs. Jia nodded, but quickly composed herself, pulled her daughter over, and asked if she had fun today.

"Happy!" Jia Wanlin smiled when he spoke of this. "Dongli Villa is becoming more and more beautiful, with more varieties of chrysanthemums than before. Today we stayed with Aunt Li Xuemu, and no one was around to disturb us. Before she left, she gave each of us a bouquet of flowers. This one is for my mother, wishing her a long life. I picked these flowers myself, and they are all my mother's favorite colors."

Mrs. Jia's annoyance vanished instantly when she saw the carefully selected bouquet. She sniffed it gently and said with a smile, "Thank you, I like it very much."

Jia Wanlin pursed her lips, but couldn't help but smile. Ever since she'd opened up to her mother, not only had her relationship with her grown, she'd also been wanting to stick around.

"Madam, the medicine is here." The maid just came to deliver the medicine. Jia Wanlin's joy turned into worry. "Why do you need to take the medicine? Is it serious? Have you seen a doctor?"

"It's an old problem, nothing serious." Madam Jia glared at the maid, took the medicine, drank it all, and let her go.

"Mom always has this headache. Is there no other way?" Jia Wanlin sighed.

Over there, Jia Wanqing also brought flowers to her mother. Mrs. Jia was happy that her daughter was thinking of her, but she habitually scolded her a few times, and Jia Wanqing's good mood disappeared in an instant. She snorted heavily and returned to her room.

Having played enough, Xia Chu went back to class. Seeing Tian Mi'er reminded her of Tian Rui'er, but Tian Rui'er looked much smarter and more mature than Tian Mi'er. Unlike this girl, whose thoughts were all on her face. One look at her eyes and Xia Chu knew she was going to pick a fight again.

I thought it was a big grudge, but it was just a couple of slaps. It seems the blows were too light. Xia Chu curled her lips and walked into the door. Unexpectedly, Tian Mier saw her and stood up in surprise. "Why are you still here?"

"Why can't I come?" Xia Chu looked at her. Did she do something? Or did she find someone?

Thinking of her mother's headache yesterday, Jia Wanlin wanted to go up and hit Tian Mi'er twice. What a snitch! No one has ever offended her, so why does she keep pestering her every day? She couldn't help but push back, "Who can come and who can't? Do you have the final say?"

"That's right." Jia Wanqing agreed.

"Don't pay attention to her." Xia Chu walked in first and sat in his seat without even glancing at Tian Mier.

"Aunt actually dared to disobey grandma! I'm going to go back and tell grandma!" Tian Mier said angrily.

Jia Wanlin exploded instantly, "I'm going to tell Grandpa not to let you come!"

"You dare!" Tian Mier was shocked and shouted even louder.

"I'll go now!" Jia Wanlin felt sorry for his mother and couldn't help but turned around to find Grandpa Jia.

Huh? Jia Wanqing looked around, wondering why he suddenly wanted to look for an elder. Confused, she still ran after Jia Wanlin.

Tian Mier thought she was just trying to scare her, but she didn't expect her to actually do it. She panicked and followed her.

Why would a quarreling child suddenly need to call their parents? Xia Chu hadn't even warmed up to the chair yet, so she had to stand up again. She walked to the door and ran into Master Jiang, "Master Jiang."

"You're in such a hurry, is there something urgent?" Jiang Tunan heard the classroom bustle, everyone whispering. The two girls from the Jia family, as well as Tian Mi'er, were not there. "Where are Wanlin and Wanqing? Mi'er's not here either?"

Xia Chu hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a small matter."

"Wanlin and Mier had a quarrel and went to see Mr. Jia." A little girl in the classroom said quickly.

"Wanlin looked very angry and said he wanted to drive Mier away." The voice sounded a little happy, even a little expectant.

"They won't really chase him away, will they? Wanlin usually has a good temper." Someone else said.

"What did Tian Mier say just now? Wan Lin suddenly got angry."

"What's going on?" Jiang Tunan looked at Xia Chu.
