When I came back from the Drift Building, I locked myself in my room and told Xiaohong not to disturb anyone until I came out.

The white satin was of a good texture, much stiffer than the usual satin. This material is very suitable for garments such as cheongsam. Of course, it can't just be in vain. If I draw a special painting on it, it can not only add color, but also show my painting skills, it should be helpful for the competition, right?

I do what I say, and I have four specialties: swimming, cooking, tailoring, and painting, and it seems that they can all be used here.

I carefully cut the white satin into a cheongsam pattern, and spread the two large pieces of placket on the table.

Pick up the dye you bought from the handsome young guy, add water and mix it up a bit. The quality of the dye is really good, it has good tinting power, and it can be used as the main toning pigment for my paintings. After painting, it can be fixed by heating it slightly.

A few hours later, it was getting late, and my great work of painting clothes was finally completed, and I just had to sew them.

When Xiaohong's girls heard me call them in, they all looked extremely nervous.

"Miss, are you alright? Hurry up and drink some water and eat something. A few girls said hurriedly.

"Ahh What is it? Miss, you draw so beautifully. Xiaohong looked at the two plackets on the table, her mouth wide open.

Needless to say, this is the most serious painting I've ever had. I couldn't help but give her a roll of the eyes.

Striking while the iron was hot, I instructed Xiaoqian to invite the sewing lady over quickly, stayed up all night, and finally sewed up the pieces of fabric according to my command.

"This is my suit, hang it up first, I'm going to sleep for a while." I yawned and commanded Red.

I had a nightmare of someone chasing me again, and the moment I was awakened by Xiaohong, I seemed to hear my own dream, "Zeng Ke, take me away!" ”

In a cold sweat. When I opened my eyes, I found that Little Red Eyes was looking at me without blinking.

"What's wrong with me?" I couldn't tell if it was a dream or reality.

"Miss, who is Zeng Ke?" Xiaohong asked word by word.

"Am I really called that?" I came back from my trance.

Little Red nodded vigorously.

I sat up, patted myself on the head, and smiled at her, "It's okay, I'm just dreaming, remembering a friend from my childhood." ”

Little Red looked at me suspiciously, and when she saw that I didn't look like she was cheating on her, she gave up, and stood up and went to get me my clothes.

"Miss, are we going out today?" Xiaohong asked.

"Of course, it's not bad to go out and admire beautiful women." I gave her a blank look. It's not easy to have this opportunity to go out, how can you cherish it?

Sitting in front of the mirror, Xiaohong was about to see my long hair combed and formed, when I suddenly became determined and said to her, "Today, you and I will go out in men's clothes." ”

Xiaohong was stunned for a moment with a wooden comb in her hand, and suddenly chuckled: "Is Miss afraid of encountering something like yesterday again?" ”

I pursed my lips and smiled, not answering her.

Actually, I had a whim and wanted to go to the Xuan Wang Temple to have a look. When I recalled that when the abbot of the temple saw me a few years ago, I always felt that this person was a monk who had attained the Tao, just like the mysterious abbot I saw in the Jiutian Temple.

Although I have slowly become accustomed to life here, to this day, I always wonder how my modern mother would live if I was not there. How anxious should the father of the doctor in Africa be? In addition, knowing that there are people here who wish I died, my heart will never be at peace.

Also, Zeng Ke actually crossed over here, so where did the real Xuanyuan go? Is it already dead? Or was he Zeng Ke's previous life? How could Zeng Ke only remember Xuan Li and Cheng Ci, but not others?

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, but when Xiaohong stopped what she was doing, I glanced in the mirror, and I was shocked. There was a mist in my eyes, and after two or three strokes, I loosened the hairstyle indiscriminately.

Xiaohong was obviously frightened by my actions, she took a few steps back, and waved her hand again and again in a panic: "It's all Xiaohong's stupidity, Xiaohong will comb it again." ”

I suddenly came to my senses, how could I become so sensitive now?

"It's none of your business." I comforted her apologetically.

I simply tied up my long hair, and told Xiaohong to bring inconspicuous plain clothes, and after the two of them changed, they went out.

As soon as they arrived at the door, the voices of Xiaoqian and Xiaohui were born: "Miss doesn't want us anymore?" ”

turned his head and saw that the two little girls were already in tears, as if they had been greatly wronged.

"Today I just went to the temple to put incense on the pillars, and I will be back soon, you are still waiting for me at home, didn't I ask you two to embroider that thing for me? I'll have to use it soon, and you don't have much time left. I said to them in a relaxed tone.

Hearing me say this, the two of them are not insisting on anything? I was about to get into the carriage, but Uncle Fu hurriedly ran out: "Miss, Madame asked me to accompany you." ”

Uncle Fu was not so easy to dismiss, so I had to take him and Xiaohong out of the group.

Although time keeps turning, the long staircase of Xuanwang Temple and the tall pine trees on both sides have not changed, and even the vegetarian shop under the stairs is still there, and there is not much change.

I entered the main hall, lit incense and worshipped, picked up the shake pot with a pious heart, and was about to shake it, when the little monk who planted incense on my side suddenly stretched out his hand to stop my people.

"Donor, there is no one to sign today, let's come back in a few days." He snapped together and whispered.

I froze in shock, not knowing what to do. Wasn't there anyone asking for a sign just now, and I personally saw that person take the sign and go into the back room to unsign it, why did this little monk say this to me? Could it be that monks can also fool people?

Seeing the surprise and suspicion on my face, the little monk folded his hands and said to me, "Didn't the donor want to find Abbot Xuanzhen to sign today?" “

"How do you know I'm here for him?" I was even more surprised.

"Abbot Xuanzhen told us before traveling this morning, saying that the donor would come to ask for it today." The little monk said the people.

God is it, my heart was suddenly raised to my throat.

"How do you know I'm who he says I'm who he is?" I was almost so excited that I wanted to grab the little monk by the collar and ask for everything.

"The abbot has an explanation, the poor monk will not go into detail one by one, in short, he will not return until a month later, donor, you should please go back." After speaking, the little monk turned and walked inside.

I put down the holder and hurried after him, who knows if he will lie to me? Maybe Xuan Zhen is hiding somewhere in this temple and deliberately letting people say that he is not there, right?

After walking for a while, the little monk shook his head and turned around, still whispering, "Donor, you better stay, right?" The abbot was really not in the temple, and for a month, he made a point of emphasizing that he would definitely come back after a whole month. ”

Seeing that his attitude and words were so sincere, not like a lie, I had to turn around and walk back in disappointment, and walked out of the main hall, where Xiaohong and Uncle Fu greeted me.

"Miss, what lottery was drawn today? What do you say about the unsigned? Xiaohong asked me anxiously.

I shook my head and staggered the topic: "Let's go, let's go down the mountain, Uncle Fu, you have to accompany me to visit Xuanchengang again today." ”

"Didn't Miss say that she would go home after the incense?" Xiaohong asked me puzzled.

"Isn't there two days left to start? Your young lady, I want to strive for the first place, I can't embarrass the General's Mansion, I still have some things to buy. I flicked her forehead, this little girl, so honest!

Uncle Fu nodded and didn't say anything. We walked down the long stone staircase together.
