Quick Transmigration: Leisure

The Xia family's anger was obvious.

Even the arrogant old man Duanmu Yan could see that although he was not afraid of offending the Xia family, he did not want to make a wasted trip.

Miss Chao was groomed by Master Chao to be his successor.

Her serious illness was like a bolt from the blue, bad news for the entire medicinal herb industry.

Miss Chao Shuang is both intelligent and brave. These herbal medicine vendors can only live a peaceful life thanks to the Chao family.

If this business is snatched away by outsiders, it will be completely ruined, and no one will benefit from it.

Because the Chao family had few offspring, the direct line only had one son and one daughter.

It's not that no one has had such thoughts.

No matter how much they tried to argue, the powerful and the common people only recognized the Chao family's reputation.

The father and daughter are both incredibly strong and capable, which is why they were able to maintain this astonishing wealth.

But now,

The successor is seriously ill, and the old master of the Chao family has not been in charge for six years, and his health is also not good.

This young master, who had just turned twelve, was also spoiled and useless. He was neither good at academics nor martial arts, and spent his days playing with cats and dogs and idling around.

Such a declining situation,

It really touched the hearts of many people!

In particular, Master Chao's act of secretly seeking medicine further confirmed their helplessness.

It was at this moment that Duanmu Yan, together with Liu's husband, stumbled upon them.

He thought,

Those out-of-town pharmaceutical merchants are far too short-sighted.

The Chao family has a grown son, so they don't have to worry about who will inherit and manage the family business.

Furthermore, he learned that among the urgently needed medicinal materials, there was one type that could be replaced by the century-old He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) discovered by the Xia family.

He then felt a surge of gratitude, wanting to offer help in times of need and seek a debt of kindness in return.

It took a lot of persuasion to coax the young master Chao Si, who was eager to save his sister, to come. He couldn't afford to fail because he had angered the Xia family.

Xia Youmi observed the changes in the expressions of the two people.

I roughly guessed some of the reasons.

This Chao Si, the second son-in-law of the Xia family in the original text, is also the official partner of Xia Youmi's original self, who will only appear later in the story.

At that time, he was already an only child.

It's likely that the eldest sister, Chao Shuang, didn't make it through. Instead, the old man was inspired and, despite his frail health, persevered until his youngest son got married. He passed away two years later.

At that time, Xia Youmi and Chao Si were fooling Master Chao by holding Xia Youtian's child.

I wanted to reassure the other person so they could focus on recovering and boost their morale, all for the sake of my grandson.

As a result, the little baby was so well-behaved that he had a special aura.

Master Chao easily saw the overwhelming good fortune emanating from the other party, and thus became convinced that the Chao family was destined to continue its prosperity.

then,

To be able to leave this world with greater peace of mind.

They were heartbroken and were taken to play by Xia's older brothers, sisters, and cousins ​​in turn.

The intention was merely to appease.

As a result, they were so comfortable living there that they reached a consensus that they should not stop living like this!

They simply can't raise a child properly.

Are nephews and nieces not good enough? Or are nieces and nephews not trying hard enough?

Thus, they began their plan to send their relatives on a long journey, according to different months.

Each person would visit each household for a few days each month, coinciding with their birthdays, and bringing them various thoughtful gifts.

then,

Go home and rest for a while.

Because they genuinely cared for Xia Youmi and felt a hidden tenderness towards her, none of the families made any move to kick her out.

She's good at coaxing people.

Every family eagerly awaited her arrival.

In addition, he would constantly "temper" Chao Si, gradually shaping him into a good husband.

Among them, the eldest brother-in-law Yu Lingling and the third brother Xia Yiliu were the most vicious.

Just like now.

The third son was the one who was most unhappy with Chao Si.

“If you can’t speak properly, please leave! We are poor and cannot afford to entertain such distinguished guests!” Xia Yiliu knew that he was the most suitable person to say no.

Elders may seem overly calculating.

If the younger sisters open their mouths, rumors will spread about their bad reputation.

Only he can fight!

"Tsk!" Duanmu Yan originally wanted to soften his tone, but Xia Yiliu's arrogant expression provoked him, and he subconsciously wanted to put on airs as a senior and criticize her.

But Chao Si stopped him, saying, "That's not what I meant. His words don't represent the Chao family!"

There was a moment of silence in the room.

But Chao Si didn't think he had said anything wrong.

He continued earnestly to Tian Chaoyu, "This junior sincerely seeks the medicine, and knows that the Madam's family does not value money or favors. However, the situation is urgent, and I apologize for any offense I may have caused. If my elder sister can be saved, I will definitely visit her in person to express my gratitude and fulfill my proper etiquette!"

Chao Si wasn't stupid; he understood now.

This place does have medicine, and they are more wary of the old man, worried that he might get into trouble. In addition, the timing of his visit was inappropriate and his manners were poor.

The group looked at each other, waiting for Tian Chaoyu to make a decision.

Duanmu Yan could no longer sit still and tried to speak up several times, but Chao Si suppressed him each time.

He originally thought this young master was a spoiled brat who would be easy to manipulate, but who would have thought that the other party was genuinely concerned for his elder sister and was willing to lower himself to beg.

They didn't care about his feelings at all.

"Humph!"

"Don't speak yet."

"Yo!"

Duanmu Yan was suppressed again, his expression was extremely distorted. Xia Yiliu was talking to him to his face, which was extremely infuriating.

"Then I won't serve you anymore!"

He was already prepared to join the enemy, betting that the Chao family would never rise again.

"No need to see me out," Xia Yisong added.

"can."

Just as Duanmu Yan stood up, Tian Chaoyu agreed.

She silently observed their expressions.

Realizing that things were falling apart, he didn't mind doing a favor; at least the kid was doing it for his family, while the old man was definitely doing it for his own benefit.

They won't drag the Xia family down if they stop focusing their efforts on one thing.

As for the old man's attempts to sabotage things behind the scenes, it was to no avail; he had made himself an independent party.

The favors bestowed upon the Chao family will not fly away.

"Thank you!" Chao Si was unaware of the treacherous nature of people. Had his sister not given him any instructions before he left?

He was always wary of Old Man Duanmu.

At this moment, the Chao family's groom and guards were waiting outside the door.

If this group does anything suspicious, they'll get support immediately.

The whole table of people held Duanmu Yan there, but didn't chase him away.

“This is a warm jade left by our elders, which has the effect of regulating the body. When I came here, I heard that you left the Polygonum multiflorum for health preservation. If we hadn’t been unable to find any better medicinal materials, we would never have come to bother you like this.”

"Please accept this jade!" Chao Si took out a piece of warm and smooth jade from his bosom and presented it to Tian Chaoyu with both hands, his eyes full of hope.

It's not that they don't have gold and silver items, but taking them out would easily bring misfortune upon the family.

The jade itself is not valuable; what matters is the sentiment, the materials used, and the time spent nurturing it.

Knowing that the medicine would be difficult to obtain, they could only promise to do it for now, and wait for their elder sister to repay the favor in the future.

He was actually still a little unaccustomed to these social niceties.

Fortunately,

This family has good hearts.

"Too expensive!"

Tian Chaoyu was actually moved.

She had sought medical treatment for her children for many years and was most able to empathize with this kind of family affection.

If Duanmu Yan hadn't deliberately provoked her, she would have given away the He Shou Wu long ago.

"It's not valuable at all, far inferior to He Shou Wu, and besides, my Chao family has something to ask for it!"

"Song'er, Mibao, go get the medicine."

"Yes!"

Upon seeing that the Xia family was preparing to give medicine, Chao Si did not hide it and summoned his own guards to come to the door.

We're preparing to take over and return to the city directly.

As for Duanmu Yan

Who cares!

Later, the warm jade was given to Xia Youmi.

The family took turns raising it for a while, but the parents thought it was too big, the older brothers and sisters thought it was too cumbersome, and the younger sister thought it was too heavy.

Only Xia Youmi was interested in the healing effects of this jade.

She then followed some prescriptions from current medical books to recuperate.

It really did reduce the chill a bit.

At least according to my great-uncle Tian Dinglan's diagnosis, this was the result.

That night, Chao Si took the medicinal herbs they had shared and returned to Fengzhou City overnight, without attending the wedding banquet the next day.

Duanmu Yan was thrown down.

There's no need for the Xia or Chao families to deal with him.

The Liu family's son-in-law was already giving him a headache. They had originally agreed to split the profits, which would be deducted from the money the Xia family received for the medicine.

But to everyone's surprise, they didn't take a single penny.

And they went back to the city so disrespectfully.

Many wealthy businessmen who came specifically for Young Master Chao left without any hesitation, greatly reducing the pomp and circumstance.

Immediately, rumors and gossip began to circulate.

They had no choice but to quickly end the banquet and take the Liu family to live in Huashan Town.

At least it prevented people from continuing to discuss it.

Late April.

It was the birthday of my third brother, Xia Yiliu.

Naturally, it was another grand banquet held behind closed doors.

Actually, he was quite restless this month, knowing that his birthday would be more grand than ever before.

She was always shy yet restless, and temporarily gave up making large wood carvings, but now she wants to decorate her home anew from time to time.

They were repairing the windows in each room, working hard and laboriously.

She even led her brothers to dig open the flowerbed in the yard, and the flowers they planted were varieties that the sisters had transplanted from the mountain.

Xia Youmi's carefully selected ingredients are naturally reliable. On the first day of work, the group even formed a small team: the front loosened the soil, the middle planted the seeds, and Xia Youtian and Hong Ya carried small watering cans to water the roots.

Furthermore, he also wandered around the empty rooms in the Xia family mansion, seemingly unintentionally.

She wondered if something was being done for him somewhere in the house, secretly. She was filled with anticipation, but also afraid of being found out. Her heart was pounding uncontrollably.

His reaction was so obvious that everyone knew about it, even Hongya, who often came to visit.

Thus, there is now one more person preparing a gift.

When everyone was dressed up and ready to eat, Xia Yiliu didn't see any movement from her family.

The tension almost overwhelmed him.

In fact, Xia Yiliu had guessed that perhaps one of his family members would prepare a complete set of meteorite iron carving knives for him.

But he quickly contradicted himself, pointing out that meteorite iron knives are extremely rare and valuable, even comparable to gold.

It's unlikely that such a move would be made.

However, most of the gifts were related to his interests; he simply loved wood carving.

As Xia Yiliu pondered deeply, raising and lowering her expectations, there was a knock on the door.

It was an unassuming horse-drawn carriage.

The visitors were Chao Shuang and Chao Si.

"I'm so sorry to have bothered you!"

"Please come in!"

This infuriated Xia Yiliu. Why did this brat have to interfere on his special day?

If it weren't for his elegant older sister, he would definitely argue with her.

“My younger brother is ignorant and has offended me in many ways. Your family has generously donated medicine, and I am deeply grateful. I have come here to express my gratitude to my benefactor.”

As she spoke, Chao Shuang was about to kneel down in gratitude.

Tian Chaoyu and Xia Youqing quickly stopped them and welcomed them inside.

The main room was filled with a sumptuous feast.

Xia Youmi felt that she had seen this scene before.

Before he could think any further, Chao Si had already ordered the guards to carry in boxes of gifts.

There was a side gate in their summer residence that served as the stables, though it had been abandoned for a long time. From there, a carriage could drive directly into the courtyard.

Therefore, no outsiders were allowed to watch as these gifts were moved.

Thanks to Chao Shuang's excellent emotional intelligence and her years of experience in the business world, her way of speaking always makes people feel comfortable.

Before they knew it, the gifts had been put into the storeroom without them even having a chance to refuse them.

It doesn't feel pretentious at all.

Xia Yiliu calmed down after having a sweet-smelling little sister placed in her arms.

"Third brother, do you want to know what surprises Father and Mother have in store?" Xia Youmi whispered. Seeing that there was still a lot to talk about and that the meal was still a while away, she wanted to find some fun for her third brother and younger sister.

"..." Xia Yiliu was shamefully tempted.

He smirked, looking at his two younger sisters with a mischievous expression.

"go!"

The two got up, picked up Xia Youtian, and slipped away to the back of the yard.

Xia Youmi was certainly not leaking information in advance.

She just wanted to tease her overly nervous third brother.

They arrived outside the room where the eldest and second eldest brothers usually kept their hunting gear. Xia Yiliu hadn't expected such a surprise to be hidden there.

To know,

Because he's always staying at home, he hasn't gone hunting in the mountains for a while.

The two older brothers often competed with each other, each trying to outdo the other.

He felt superfluous, only able to scavenge prey. Or perhaps his brother had gathered some medicinal herbs and needed him to run errands and bring them back.

Later, he didn't go one day.

They found that it didn't affect anything at all; the eldest and second eldest brothers still returned with a full load, and could even chop firewood and study at night.

It's simply incredibly powerful.

A faint sense of loss enveloped him, and he could only immerse himself more deeply in the wood carving.

Actually,

He also wanted to be as strong as his older brother, to be able to hit the bullseye every time, and to be able to carry his younger sisters.

Unfortunately, none of these work.

in dreams,

He moved through the woods with the agility of a giant, utterly ruthless.

"Third Brother, open the door!"

Xia Youmi's voice interrupted Xia Yiliu's dazed expression.

"Oh, good!"

squeak-

The wooden door was gently pushed open, and with Xia Youtian's exclamation and Xia Yiliu's surprise, the messy hut that used to store hunting tools had been completely transformed.

It was clean and tidy inside.

There were also sets of tools, but they weren't for hunting; they were tools specifically for wood carving.

That's not all.

A brand-new hunting bow hangs on the wall, along with many paintings that look both familiar and unfamiliar.

"Yeah, I knew it! There would definitely be a house!"

Xia Yiliu was filled with excitement. He had been speculating for a long time whether there would be a new house, and he had also looked through all the old and dilapidated courtyards.

I thought my guess was wrong.

Yet, I still received this pleasant surprise.

Xia Youmi pulled him along and started looking around; there were quite a few hidden secrets inside.

Her two older brothers had just hinted at it to her.

You could bring Xia Yiliu here first, so she doesn't get too upset and lose the original intention of celebrating.

But this is not what my parents prepared.

"This wood carving!"

"It was made for you by your second brother!"

"What about this one?"

"It belongs to me and Xiaotiantian."

"This hunting bow?"

"It was crafted by my eldest brother."

"This carving knife?"

"It was my eldest sister who had it done."

"Then this painting?"

"Hehe, Third Brother, take a closer look, who made this?"

Xia Yiliu then realized that many of the works in the room were his own creations. Those objects, forgotten deep in his memory, recorded his growth and were carefully arranged in order.

There were also wooden horse carvings given to me by my younger sisters; you could tell they were made with great care.

He was so happy he felt like he could fly.

When they returned to the front hall laughing and joking, Xia Yiliu saw her parents and then remembered that her second sister hadn't explained what they had given her.

Fortunately,

He is satisfied.
