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

Chapter 121

Xia Tian felt that today's trick was too mean, and since his sister was still an unmarried girl, he was embarrassed to explain it in detail. He hesitated for a long time and said, "Let's go find He Suowei."

Hearing this name, Xia Chu frowned subconsciously, "Looking for him? What for?"

"We beat him up." He couldn't say how. Originally, he and Zhao Huazhang had planned to put him in a sack and beat him up, but when Erwa found out, he came up with an even worse idea.

Everyone knew that He Suowei had kept the most popular courtesan in Xiang Man Lou and would be leaving soon. He followed her for several days until she finally left.

While the courtesan was dancing with He Suowei, he went back and called Zhao Huazhang. The two of them squatted on the roof for over an hour before the two people in the room got down to business.

Seeing He Suowei getting excited and taking off his clothes to begin, the two of them broke into the room through the window. He Suowei was so frightened that he almost collapsed. Zhao Huazhang kicked him over, and Xia Tian gagged the courtesan, covered He Suowei with a quilt, and beat him up.

The two of them didn't make any sound the whole time, and they jumped out the window and ran away after the fight. I had just changed my clothes and came out, and before I had time to be happy, I was bumped into by Xia Chu.

Xia Chu never guessed that these two people were so mean, and instead became worried, "Did anyone see us?"

Xia Tian shook his head and said, "No, we were both masked and didn't make any noise."

Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at his elder brother, "You really didn't find a girl?"

"No..." Xia Tian waved his hands repeatedly.

"Who's looking for a girl? Xia Tian?" Dong Xiaohuan heard the two of them coming back and was about to say something to Xia Chu, saying that a girl shouldn't come back so late. But then she heard about looking for a girl. "Xia Tian, looking for a girl? You didn't go to a brothel, did you?" At this point, she was already angry.

"No, mother, I didn't find any girls..." Xia Tian scratched his head in worry. If he admitted to going to the brothel, who would believe him? He really couldn't explain it. He winked at his sister, asking her to help explain.

Xia Chu naturally believed him in her heart, and walked inside with Dong Xiaohuan on her arm, "Mom, you heard wrong. I was wondering when big brother would find a girl he likes so that I can have a sister-in-law."

"I want to ask myself, this poor kid is already grown up and still hasn't gotten married. It worries me to death." Dong Xiaohuan was worried when she talked about this. Other people's children are as old as Xia Tian, and they are all running around.

Xia Tian followed behind and didn't dare to say anything.

After complaining a bit, Dong Xiaohuan asked curiously, "Didn't you take a day off a few days ago? Why are you back tonight? And so late?" Speaking of late, she turned her attention to her daughter, "You're a girl, so don't come back so late next time. You have to be home before dark, remember?"

"I remember." Xia Chu nodded obediently.

"My boss asked me to do something, so I'll leave early tomorrow morning," Xia Tian explained.

The children at home rarely caused trouble, so Dong Xiaohuan didn't hold on to the issue. Instead, she became concerned about their stomachs. "Have you two eaten? I'll go make some noodles for you guys."

Both the brother and sister said they had eaten, so Dong Xiaohuan gave up and said there was hot water in the kitchen and asked them to use it to wash themselves.

She also had to keep an eye on Qiu Yu; that boy wouldn't behave if she wasn't watching him. She'd been scratching her head and struggling with today's homework, but she still hadn't finished it.

Zhang Zhou was standing at the door waiting for his eldest brother. He was a little surprised to see the two of them coming back together. "Brother, what happened?"

"It's according to your idea." Xia Tian said, the second one is still the meaner.

"What about second brother?" Xia Chu looked at him suspiciously. "What idea did second brother come up with?"

"It's nothing, go to bed early." Zhang Zhou didn't answer, rubbed her head and pushed her back to the room.

"I haven't washed up yet!" Xia Chu pushed his hand away. Being short is not good. The second brother pressed her head with one hand, like teasing a child.

The story of the He family's seventh young master being assaulted in a brothel went viral. He Suo was humiliated, but he couldn't pinpoint the culprit. He lost his temper at home, only to be reprimanded by both his father and grandfather.

These weren't a big deal. After a few days of recuperation, his injuries had mostly healed. But something, too secretive to reveal, had gone awry. After recovering, he grabbed a maid to vent his frustration. But then he realized that part of him wasn't working. The previous incident had left a scar on him. Every time a critical moment came, he couldn't help but check to see if the doors and windows were locked properly. After repeated checks, his interest faded.

He was so angry that he smashed the house to pieces and called a doctor. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with him, but he became weak at that moment. This made him even more irritable, and he would lose his temper in the house every day, and he would beat up the doctor who was called.

The most infuriating thing is that this matter was spread by some gossip.

The whole of Lin'an knew he was dying. He lost his temper and was scolded by his father again. His mother was extremely worried and ran around looking for doctors, but the doctors who came only said there was nothing wrong and that it was just a heart disease.

This time, not only his own face was lost, but even the other children of the He family were subjected to strange looks when they went out.

Several brothers took turns to teach him a lesson, blaming him for being too flamboyant and having countless enemies, but now they couldn't find anyone when they checked.

Bai Wuxia and the others also heard about this, but since they were all girls, it was not easy to discuss such things openly. However, they felt in their hearts that it was definitely what they deserved.

"Sister Yun, aren't you free today?" Xia Chu noticed that only Li Yun was missing.

"I'm going today, Sister Yun is out." Lin Lang said.

"Oh." Xia Chu nodded.

Xia Chu's family doesn't have a car, so she doesn't go out as often as the others, but there's no one at home all year round, so the others mostly make appointments to come and see her.

"I wrote a new score today, you guys listen to it." Xia Chu brought the pipa over, and the clear music sounded.

After the song ended, Lin Lang was the first to applaud, "It's beautiful! Xia Chu, your speed in composing music is simply enviable."

"That's right. I'm going to shamelessly ask for this song again." Mo Qingmei said with a smile.

"It's a pity that Sister Yun is not here, otherwise I would write some lyrics for you and we could sing together for fun." Bai Wuxia said.

"Let's write it ourselves, and then ask Sister Yun to revise it later," Xia Chu suggested. She actually had some ideas for the lyrics, but she wasn't an ancient person after all, so her words would be more straightforward, which might not be comfortable for others.

"Flying Song?" Lin Lang repeated it several times. "What a good name! This song really makes people feel so excited that they can't help but dance."

The four of them spent another afternoon at Xia Chu's house, each completing the lyrics one line at a time.

"I like this song." Bai Wuxia held the finished song in her hands. "I'll take it back and practice it."

"Xia Chu, these are enough to make a music score." Mo Qingmei said, holding his own.

"Will anyone buy it?" Didn't she originally want to make money by selling music scores, but unfortunately it seems to have come to nothing.

"I have a bookstore at home. If you are interested, I can ask someone to print some for you to try?" Mo Qingmei liked these very much. She even specially bound the ones written by Xia Chu together.

"Is it possible?" Xia Chu asked in surprise, "Will it be too much trouble?"

The bookshop was her mother's dowry and had long been handed over to her, but business was lukewarm. Printing a book of music wasn't difficult. "No, I'll tell you."

"Thank you so much. You don't have to print too many. I..." Xia Chu wanted to pay for it herself, but when she thought about the current price of paper, she didn't know if the money she had was enough.

"I got it. I'll show it to you after it's printed." Mo Qingmei interrupted her without mentioning the money.
