Chapter 1976 - 1912: A Rose-like Woman

Chiang Xiao felt that the words were very reasonable, and couldn’t help but laugh.

"Arthur, you’re quite interesting."

"Thank you, actually I relied on this bit of humor to win over Fuli."

"Fuli is Mr. Wen Li’s daughter, your wife?"

"Yes," Pheng Fei said, "but she’s recently gone to her grandmother’s place in the countryside and hasn’t come back yet. Otherwise, I could have introduced you; I think you could definitely become friends."

"I’ll definitely meet her if there’s a chance."

Pheng Fei escorted her to the doorway of a room on the second floor, "This is the room, besides the second floor east side and the third floor, feel free to explore other places. You rest for now, someone will come to take you to the dining room when it’s time."

"Thank you, Arthur."

Chiang Xiao was genuinely grateful for everything he had done.

She opened the door and entered the room, and once again was dazzled; this was a very classical Imperial Court styled bedroom. Opening the window, a vast endless flower field came into view, indescribably beautiful.

Chiang Xiao couldn’t resist taking out a small sketchbook, pulling a chair to sit by the window, and started drawing.

This wasn’t the era where you could just pull out a phone, capture beautiful scenery wherever you went.

But she had an advantage, drawing directly with the Magic Brush, nearly able to perfectly recreate the scene she was seeing; looking at the drawing was like seeing real flowers.

An hour was said to be for resting, but in fact, Chiang Xiao spent all of it drawing.

One hour was just enough for her to draw the beautiful scene she saw outside the window.

She tore the drawing off and stored it in the Space.

This was completely drawn using the Magic Brush, so realistic it could only be kept for her own enjoyment later, and of course, she could also show Meng Xinian.

No one else could see it.

And moreover, she could later copy this drawing, using a regular brush to draw another image.

Then she could show it to Ah Liu, her teacher, and Wang Yi, allowing them to see the beautiful scene she was seeing now.

Chiang Xiao felt that learning to draw was indeed very beneficial.

After she packed her things, washed her face and hands clean, the door was knocked.

Earlier, Pheng Fei mentioned that someone would come to take her to the dining room, so Chiang Xiao quickly went to open the door.

However, outside wasn’t a servant of the castle.

Because the two servants she had seen before were dressed uniformly, but before her stood a young woman in a tweed waisted long dress, small lambskin high-heeled boots, her hair curled, wearing a hat with white gauze, appearing very distinguished.

This woman’s appearance was also exquisite, blue eyes, high nose bridge, distinct features, red lips, white teeth, like a beautiful rose.

Chiang Xiao was momentarily unsure of the other’s identity, so she lightly nodded and greeted her.

The woman also nodded at her, slightly smiling.

"You are Xiao Chiang?"

"I am."

"It’s time for a meal, I’m here to take you to the dining room."

"Alright, thank you."

Chiang Xiao closed the door and followed her downstairs.

This woman seemed very polite and didn’t show any hint of hostility, but Chiang Xiao felt a bit strange as her attire didn’t match that of the servants here, yet she did not introduce herself to clarify her identity.

This woman led her through a corridor, turned a corner, and continued to walk forward.

The castle was so large, indeed if no one led the way, it was quite possible to get lost.

But did the dining room really require walking this far?
