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

After everyone in the family left the house, Xia Chu cleaned the house and went to buy groceries with a basket.

Just as she locked the door, the door next door opened. A pretty maid in pink came out from the side door, caught sight of Xia Chu, raised her head high, and turned away.

What are you bragging about? Xia Chu rolled her eyes.

The streets were still bustling with activity at this hour. Peddlers carrying loads of wood, woodcutters carrying firewood, women buying vegetables, all of them came and went, all with smiles on their faces.

Xia Chu likes this scene the most, it is the prosperous and flourishing era.

Although the current emperor is not recorded in history books, the situation is stable and the people are happy and content.

She hummed a song and randomly picked an old woman and followed her, watching her select the freshest vegetables and even getting a little bargain after she bargained.

Hey, little tricks for people who can’t bargain.

After buying the groceries, she went back to the shop.

"Come out and buy some groceries." Dong Xiaohuan was busy. She took a piece of silver from her waist and threw it into her daughter's basket. "Go to the kitchen and get some braised meat to take back. You must eat at noon. Don't think I don't know that you are always lazy and don't eat. I also have some fresh meat. I'm saving it for dinner. Don't forget to take it back."

"I got it." Xia Chu stuck out her tongue, went to the kitchen to get the meat, and helped for a while before returning home.

Daan and Xiaoan came out to greet them, wagging their tails and drooling at the aroma of meat. Daan turned and left, but Xiaoan circled around Xia Chu, purring and acting coquettishly.

"Greedy dog, try to imitate your brother." Xia Chu gave it a light kick in disdain and tossed it a chicken leg. She called out to Da'an and gave it one too. Then she watered the flowers and plants in the yard. She cut a few branches and placed a vase in each room.

At noon, Xia Chu stir-fried some vegetables and ate them with braised pork. She took a nap in the afternoon, then played the pipa. Life was so comfortable.

Being a rice-eater is so nice! She shook her head, playing the guitar and taking notes on paper. She decided to write some music when she had free time and see if she could sell it. If she could make a little money, that wouldn't be bad either.

Wang Qiuyu and Guan Xu were the first to come back. Guan Xu went straight into the kitchen. He found that the vegetables he asked his sister to buy were all there, so he happily started to prepare dinner.

Wang Qiuyu returned the school bag to his room, quietly walked to his sister's window, and sat down against the wall.

"You're back! Don't sit on the ground." Xia Chu heard his rustling movements and put down her pen to look over. "Where's the third brother?"

"In the kitchen." Wang Qiuyu got up and ran into his sister's room. He went straight to the shelf. "Did my second brother make this dragonfly? I think I had one too."

"Didn't Xiao An bite your dragonfly to pieces?" Xia Chu saw him pulling the dragonfly's wings and slapped him anxiously, "Don't break it!"

"Hiss!" Wang Qiuyu threw the dragonfly away and said with a pout, "If it's broken, ask my second brother to make another one. Why did you hit me so hard? Humph!"

Xia Chu also waved her hand freely. She coughed dryly and took the dragonfly back. "I didn't mean to do that. Please have some candy. Don't be angry."

Wang Qiuyu took the candy angrily and left, swearing in his heart that he would never want to care about his sister again!

As the aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, the others came back one after another. The last one to come back was Dong Xiaohuan, who hurriedly talked to Xia Tian for a long time.

Xia Tian acted as if he had lost all hope in life, as if he was stunned by what he said.

Wang Yong changed his clothes and came out. Seeing him, he couldn't help but smile, "What's going on?"

"He just told me he'd meet a girl tomorrow, but who is he showing this to? It makes me so angry!" Dong Xiaohuan complained, "Can you please tell me something about him?"

"Don't be angry, mother. I will go tomorrow." Xia Tian bowed and begged for mercy.

"Okay, okay, let's eat first." Wang Yong said.

Dong Xiaohuan snorted and went to the kitchen. Seeing her third son cooking, she smiled and said, "You're cooking today. Did you get home from school early?"

Guan Xu smiled and said, "Yes, I learned a new trick from my grandmother some time ago. Let me share it with you all."

"Is Qiu Yu behaving well today?"

"My brother has been very well behaved these days."

"Your sister didn't help you?"

"I helped. It's almost done here. She went to change her clothes."

Dong Xiaohuan brought out the dishes and invited her family to eat.

At the dinner table, everyone talked about some interesting things that had happened that day. After dinner, Wang Yong took his sons to the courtyard to practice martial arts. However, he didn't interfere much now, just watching his eldest son teach his younger brother.

Xia Chu became interested and brought a pipa to accompany them.

Dong Xiaohuan, a smile on his face, was mending his eldest son's clothes. He trained students at a martial arts school, and with the heavy movements he made, his clothes often got torn. The same thing happened with Wang Yong and Wang Qiuyu's clothes; they all felt like they had thorns on them, needing mending every two days.

An ordinary day of life passed for the family.

In the summer, he was the first to get up. He would usually cook breakfast after practicing martial arts. Then Dong Xiaohuan and Wang Yong would get up, and then Da'an and Xiao'an would wake up the others.

After breakfast, everyone went out. But today was different. Dong Xiaohuan found a new set of clothes for Xia Tian to wear and personally combed his hair and tidied his appearance.

"Where are you going, brother? Why are you dressed so handsomely?" Xia Chu walked around Xia Tian and teased.

Dong Xiaohuan patted her son's shoulder and said, "I have chosen a girl from a family. I will take your eldest brother there today. Let's take a look at her from a distance and see if she is suitable."

Xia Chu's eyes lit up, "I want to go too!"

"Why are you causing trouble?" Xia Tian asked.

"Yes, be good and don't go. You'll stand out if there are too many people around, and the girl will be embarrassed. I'll take you somewhere else to play next time." Dong Xiaohuan confirmed, "Okay, let's go."

Xia Chu saw the two of them out, watched them walk away, locked the door behind them, and quietly followed them.

If you won't let me go, I'll go secretly. If I follow behind secretly, it won't be noticeable, right? She curled her lips, her eyes bright with a hint of cunning.

Dong Xiaohuan praised the woman as she walked along. "That girl's family runs a dim sum shop. They say she makes excellent dim sum and is an excellent cook. She also has a gentle and kind personality and a mild temper. I've asked around, and the neighbors all speak highly of her."

Xia Tian nodded randomly, showing no interest at all. In fact, he had been thinking about something else recently and had been hesitating.

Dong Xiaohuan continued, "We have an appointment at Qingfeng Tea House today. She will be sitting by the window. Let's sit at another table and meet from a distance. Let's see what you think."

"Okay." Xia Tian responded.

As they were talking, they arrived. Xia Tian turned his head slightly and saw someone turning around in panic, pretending to look at the sky. He knew that even if he didn't let her come, she would follow him.

Xia Chu was at a loss when she saw the two of them enter the teahouse. If she went in without a care in the world, her mother would definitely see her. But how could she see her future sister-in-law if she didn't go in?

"Madam Wang?" A familiar voice came from behind her. She turned around and saw it was Zhao Huazhang.
