Chapter 8 Trying the Jade Belt: Fake Seamstress

"Where is this?" Jinhua, who had just woken up, realized that the surrounding environment was not right, and was about to ask, when Gao Shiqian covered her mouth and motioned her to look at Taiping.There were guards standing outside the gate of the Taoist temple, and when they looked down the steps, they saw three people standing there with their hands down, in a respectful posture.

At this time, the two women who spoke just now had arrived outside the Taiping Temple. They were dressed as maids, and both held lanterns.On the left, a maid in a vermilion dress and a green dress raised a lantern in her hand, took a picture down the steps, and asked, "Are you summoned by the princess?"

The three saluted in unison: "Exactly."

One of the men pointed to the woman beside him and said, "The two Xiaomin are from Xiangqifang."

Another woman said: "The little woman is from Xianluofang."

The red-clothed maid nodded, looked around and said, "There is also a Zijinfang, why don't you see anyone?"

The three people under the steps shook their heads again and again, saying they didn't know.

At this time, a crow flapped its wings and landed on the branch of the big locust tree, where its nest was.

The maid on the right, dressed in a white dress, held up a lantern and looked in the direction of the big locust tree.

Gao Shiqian covered Jinhua's mouth with his left hand, and tightly grabbed her arm with his right hand, wrapping her in his arms. The two of them stayed motionless behind the tree, not daring to breathe.

"Forget it, come in with us." The maid in white looked again, seeing that there was no one else, she greeted the three of them.

Seeing that a few people were about to enter the Taiping Temple, Jinhua felt relieved for a while, feeling that he was about to be out of breath from being covered by Gao Shiqian, and wanted to push his hand away.At this moment, the crow on the treetop was attracted by the glowing copper thimble on Gao Shichen's finger.The crow likes the shiny things the most, immediately screamed loudly, and flapped its wings to peck at his left hand!

Gao Shiqian was still calm, but Jinhua couldn't hold back his fright, and yelled "Ah".

"Who?!" The two maids stopped, turned around and walked over quickly.The maid in white raised a lantern to shine on the faces of Jin Hua and Gao Shiqian, and asked, "Who are you? What are you doing hiding here?"

"Say it!" Zhu Yi's maid asked sharply.

"We..." Jinhua was completely at a loss and was too panicked to speak.

The maid in red clothes looked at the two of them and felt strange.Not to mention Jinhua's shoulder-length short hair, but the horse-faced skirt on her body, the flowered cloth shoes on her feet, and the net scarf on Gao Shiqian's head are all costumes that Tang people have never seen before.The more she looked at it, the more she felt strange: "Looking at how you are dressed like this, you don't look like people from the Tang Dynasty, and you don't look like foreigners... You can't be secretive!" As she spoke, she was about to greet the guards who were standing not far away. Come get someone.

Gao Shiqian sensed something was wrong, and immediately responded accordingly: "The two of us are from Zijinfang, and this dress is a new style in our workshop. I heard that the princess likes new clothes the most, so I specially wore it for the princess to have a look at."

"Since you are from Zijinfang, why didn't you come out just now, what did you do hiding behind the tree?" asked the maid in white.

"My little sister has never been out of the house. She is timid and afraid of people. She hides behind a tree and dare not come out. I have no choice. Fortunately, this crow flew over. Now she can't hide." Hua said, "Your brother is here, don't be afraid, daddy told us to come out and see the world, you can't just keep hiding."

"Really?" The maid in white looked at the two dubiously.

The red-clothed maid sneered: "That's pretty simple. Since it's said to be from Zijinfang, then you can come in. If you can't hand in the work then, you can make sense. I'm afraid that no one in Chang'an city knows my princess's temper. If there is deceit, you will look good!"

"Little people never dare to lie." Gao Shiqian said repeatedly.

"Let's go." The red-clothed maid greeted and led a few people into Taiping Temple.

Jinhua and Gao Shiqian walked last with their heads bowed, and they looked at each other.Jinhua looked astonished, she never imagined that she would also travel through time, until now she didn't even know where she was.Gao Shiqian had some "experience", so he calmed her emotions with his eyes, signaling her not to panic too much, and adapt to the situation.

A few people were led by the maid to abduct them a few times and brought them to the alchemy room in a corner of the backyard.There are two rooms inside and outside the Dan room, both of which have been set up with common shops.The maid in red clothes said: "You will live here, one for each male and one female, waiting for the princess to summon you tomorrow. This is a place for Taoist temples to be purely cultivated. No noise is allowed, and you are not allowed to move without summons."

"Yes, as ordered." Several people agreed and promised.The two maids drifted away.Not long after, two more maidservants came to bring them some tea, fruit and other things, and left immediately.

After they all left, Jinhua dragged Gao Shiqian to a corner, and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is this place? Have we returned to Daming?"

"Da Ming..." Gao Shiqian looked bitter, "Do you think I look like this?"

"Then here is..."

"Princess Taiping Qingxiu's Taoist temple."

"This is Datang?"

"It seems that you have read a few pages of history books."

Jinhua rolled his eyes at him: "We both worked hard on sewing, why did we end up here?"

"I must ask your scientist about this..."

"Damn, no 'Altair'!"

Gao Shichen curled his lips: "I don't think that thing is useful."

"what should we do……"

The two of them were muttering to each other, when the man who called himself Xiangqifang came forward and said, "Both of you, it's time to rest, and you have to get up early tomorrow to answer the call."

Gao Shiqian hurriedly saluted: "What brother said is true."

The man said: "Are you from Zijinfang? Why don't I seem to have seen you two before?"

"Ah...we are the cousins ​​of the shop owner. We just arrived in Chang'an today because of the princess' call."

The man looked them up and down, suspicious in his heart, but said: "So it is. My surname is Zhao, and I am the head seamstress of Xiangqifang."

"Brother Zhao, my surname is Gao. This is my little sister."

"Disrespectful disrespect."

After the two exchanged a few words, seamstress Zhao went to rest on the bunk.Jinhua asked, "What is a seamstress?"

"It's a tailor, come with us."

"A colleague is an enemy..." Jin Hua curled his lips.

Gao Shiqian smiled wryly: "It seems that what I expected was right. Xiangqifang, Xianluofang, and Zijinfang are all famous tailoring workshops in Chang'an City. They should all be top-notch masters in the workshops. Presumably the princess summoned them. They have come to make clothes."

"Then I'm not afraid anymore," Jin Hua suddenly felt a lot more at ease, "With you here, I feel at ease."

"Cough, cough!" The three people next to him had already slept on their respective bunks, and seamstress Zhao coughed heavily, expressing his dissatisfaction with their muttering.

Gao Shiqian said: "Go to the back room and sleep with them. If you can't sleep, you have to pretend to be asleep. Don't talk nonsense."

"Okay, see you tomorrow morning..."

The two fell asleep separately.After several accidents, Gao Shichen had already calmed down and fell asleep soon.It was the first time in Jinhua's life that he slept on a hard bed, staring at the high beams outside the gauze tent, smelling the faint burnt smell of lamp oil, feeling extremely illusory and panicky, and couldn't help but admire Gao Shiqian's strong adaptability.I closed my eyes and brewed for a long time, but it was still difficult to fall asleep.

There was a drum beating outside the window, and Jinhua seemed to hear music coming from outside while he was half asleep and half awake.

The ancients were really leisurely, who disturbed the people here in the middle of the night!

She complained secretly, but still couldn't restrain her strong curiosity, she really wanted to see what kind of person this "disturbing person" was.She got up and saw that everyone else in the room was asleep, so she tiptoed out of the alchemy room and groped towards the direction of the sound.

Passing through several side halls, a rockery pavilion gradually appeared, hidden by flowers and trees, a tall man stood under the moon, as if playing a long flute.The sound of the music is ethereal, with a hint of melancholy.

This scene is so beautiful!

Jinhua couldn't help but sigh in his heart, no matter how beautiful and realistic a costume drama is, it's still not as good as being there.

It's so late, who is playing such a tune under the moon?Looking at the clothes and silhouette, it doesn't look like a woman. Could it be that there are men in Princess Taiping Qingxiu's Taoist temple?

As she was thinking, she approached slowly, trying to see more clearly, but accidentally caught the corner of her clothes by a flower branch, trying to break free, but a stone slipped under her feet, and her body fell forward involuntarily.She was struggling to maintain her balance, when a hand suddenly stretched out in front of her, grabbed her arm, and held her firmly.

Jinhua raised his head, and the person in front of him was just now.

This person was dressed in a Hu suit, a black headband, a narrow-sleeved shirt with a lapel collar, and a jade belt around his waist. He had a picturesque face and looked at her with concern.

This, this is too dreamy...

Jin Hua stared there again.Recently, she has had a lot of good fortune, and all she meets are handsome men.

If Gao Shiqian's handsomeness is as warm and bright as the dazzling sunshine, the handsomeness of the man in front of him is as bright and charming as the moonlight.

The man who can appear in the Taiping Temple has such a good-looking appearance. Could it be that she met the first husband of Princess Taiping—the famous Xue Shao?
