章節 6: Who are you?
A dream-like grand studio under her feet made a certain fangirl could not hide her astonishment.
Zhi had always liked to watch period dramas, not that she was able to recall a few. Just a feeling!
Building structures that were made of a mixture of wood and brick laid in a systematic manner than the buildings in the village. There were big storehouses, tea houses and pavilions with large-sized signages. Each of them with their grand designs that showcased the magnificence of their architects.
Their small carriage then passed through a lively street which housed an array of stalls selling all kinds of things. Due to the small opening of the curtain, she could not tell what sort of things were exhibited. And actually some delicious smell had wafted into the carriage, sending Zhi into a frenzy mode under her mask.
But she couldn't just jump out and buy the food, could she? More importantly, money...was not something she had currently.
'Nevertheless, free tour sure is nice.'
After awhile, the carriage Zhi was in was ushered into a compound of a school. Long-haired ladies in white robes were welcoming them back. A few ladies with different colour of clothing were receiving the master. Since Zhi was the last one to get off, she couldn't see their faces well as they turned their bodies to escort the master into the building.
Meanwhile, Meng Xun was being crowded by the white-clothed ladies. Afterall, their sister Meng Xun was someone they hadn't seen for four years, she looked skinnier than before she embarked for the border. Thus, she was being assaul- no, hugged and kissed a lot.
Zhi immediately felt like an outsider. But her heart felt a tinge of warmth at the scene. She just stood there in a daze.
***
In the evening, in a certain room within the dormitories, two freshly bathed females were putting on their respective dresses.
"Meng Xun…"
A tiny voice was trying to argue with the person adjacent to her dressing screen fold.
"Do I have to dress up and attend the event?"
Ancient clothing had so many layers and was super complicated. For her, a one-piece dress was enough for tonight's kind of event.
'If there is one, hn...'
Furthermore, she had planned to be in her usual disguise to play around the city tonight.
Apparently, the 'festival' outside sounded more fun than the event. She had heard that there would be a fireworks performance!
"Don't think you'll be let loose tonight. Be obedient." Meng Xun scolded her with coldness. She had a feeling if she was lenient with this girl, some trouble would follow. "Just stand by my side the entire banquet."
Meng Xun had finished dressing up and proceeded to the dressing table to put on makeup and hairdo. She was feeling satisfied to have put on a beautiful dress and be beautiful herself, when an image came up in the mirror beside hers.
She gasped.
Meng Xun had always been at her master's side so the ultimate visual goddess would be her master. Any other beauty would pale in comparison with her master. Zhi, would be the first exception.
In their first meeting, Zhi was a mess. No wonder she would mistake her a diamond in the rough for a worthless pebble. Once she had properly washed and dolled up, her brilliance as a woman stood out.
Considering her body build, Zhi would have been in her early twenties. She had the right amount of curve, and allure of a young adult woman.
Her face lacked the baby fat a teen had, instead she had a defined jawline and high apple cheekbones. Her eyes were big and pretty, with thick and long eyelashes. Meng Xun couldn't stop gawking at her gorgeous appearance...
...
'As I thought…'
Staring at her own reflection on the bronze mirror, who had a lovely troubled look, Zhi realized that no memories of that face came up.
'Who are you?'
