Even on the third day, they did not see the shadow of the Master Dong.

Xie Jingxi sat in her room drinking tea. The tea leaves were still fresh from the dragon well this year, and a sweet fragrance wafted in the air. Even though they were in a room with a magnificent western wind, they still had the feeling that they were in Great Chen.

Gu Xiaoyu lied on top of the little black panther, holding Gu Shi'er in her arms as she asked her mother, ”Mother, do you think they are deliberately letting us off? What are they doing, suppressing our anger is making us feel more and more uncertain, and then when we are talking about something else, the initiative will be in their hands. It's really too treacherous.”

Just like how Sheng Tong held Sheng Jin tight, without batting an eyelid, luring the enemy in, and with a single move.

Even the little girl could see through it, Xie Jingxi snorted in her heart, this was definitely the way Manager Qi and the rest of the merchants felt, just like the previous Mao Chang, which was most likely captured by them.

In these three days of time, they were offered up to him in every detail, and every day there were three meals which were prepared according to Great Chen's eating habits. They did not stop him even when he wanted to go out, and even with carriages as his attendants, they did not see him, so he was not courteous at all and made people want to smash something when he asked.

On the day that they had just arrived, someone had already measured them up. Of course, they were not the only ones who had received the usual treatment, after all, they had all lost almost all of their attendants, and with such a thorough service, how could they possibly miss out on this round of tailoring.

”Madam, I've made you wait for a long time. A woman's dress takes some time, and it's slower this way.”

Xie Jingxi's eyes swept across Fang Dai as she walked forward. Following the maid's hand, she flipped through a few of Xie Jingxi's dresses, and then frowned, ”Oh, that's not good, our lady isn't used to wearing collars like this, and this waist cutting, it's probably made by a third-rate master. The embroidery process is really lacking, so our lady won't wear this kind of dresses.”

The maid didn't expect them to be so picky with their dresses. She was at a loss for a while. ”This …” ”Madam, this was already done personally by our best master. Look at you …”

”Bring it over for me to take a look.” Xie Jingxi waved at her.

The female servant walked up to him, causing Xie Jingxi to flip through the pages symbolically as she smiled: ”Embroidery is indeed lacking a bit, but after all, it is not our Great Chen, for a foreign country to have such an Embroidery Mother, it is already not easy.” Xie Jingxi casually left out a set, ”I will keep this set, I will repeat the rest.”

The servant girl said, ”Since Madam is not satisfied, we should address Madam as satisfied. However, this embroidery lady is not from a foreign land. She was specially invited here by the Great Chen. Madam, what do you think …”

The maid means that this is already the best work of the embroidery lady, and you have no choice if you are not satisfied.

Xie Jingxi was in a difficult situation, ”Oh, so it's like that, the embroidery lady with the famous Great Chen would never come here to make a living, and since it's like that, then it's fine, but the style has to be changed. How about this, I will ask your master to come over later, what problems do you have?”

”This... Since Madam has asked for it, we will try our best to fulfill it. However, we will have to inform the higher-ups that we can only invite Master here after they have agreed to it. ”

Xie Jingxi nodded, ”Thank you.”

After the maid left, Gu Xiaoyu quickly ran over and checked her own clothes. She thought to herself, Isn't this good, not worse than the embroidery mother at home?

”Shh …” Xie Jingxi shushed her, ”Ah Yu, take your two treasures out with you. You should be bored out of your mind being stuck in the house.

Gu Xiaoyu bit her lips, rolled her eyes, and immediately jumped in joy: ”I got it Mother, I definitely won't run around …”

Just as Gu Xiaoyu was about to go out, the maid outside the door finally took her leave.

After Fang Dai sent her out, he closed the door and stood there listening for a while. Then, she came over and said to Xie Jingxi in a low voice: ”Our Young Miss really knows everything.”

Xie Jingxi laughed, glancing at the dress on the table. ”Since we're going to fight, we can't just let them attack us, right?”

Fang Dai looked at the embroidery on the dress carefully, and asked, ”Madam, did you manage to see anything?”

She did have a guess, but she wasn't sure. She had to give it a try.

”What about Manager Qi?”
