"Nanyuan?" The face of the female shopkeeper of the embroidery shop changed slightly.
Xu Yin asked with a smile: "Why, the shopkeeper knows? It's rare, it's just a small place."
The shopkeeper immediately burst into laughter and bowed respectfully: "It turns out that the Lord of Yongjia County is here, and the woman is disrespectful." Then he explained, "The Lord of Yongjia County rescued people on the street, and he looked so heroic. Who in the capital doesn't know this?
"
Xiao Man was very proud: "Of course, our young lady is brave and the most righteous!"
The shopkeeper continued to say yes, and said some compliments, and then asked: "I wonder what kind of clothes the county gentleman wants to make? Our embroidery workshop has bought some new fabrics, which are very suitable for making spring and summer clothes. Would the county gentleman want to take a look?"
"
"Okay!" Xu Yin raised her chin with the arrogance of a noble lady, "Let's take a look."
"yes."
While looking at the fabric here, Xue Ru's girl rushed into the room and exclaimed in a suppressed voice: "Girl, it's not good!"
Xue Ru was drinking tea and glanced at her lightly: "What else can be bad?" She was already bad enough!
The girl said hurriedly: "Miss Xu San, Miss Xu San is downstairs!"
Xue Ru shook her hand and almost spilled the tea. She looked at her in surprise: "What did you say?"
"My slave heard this, she is in the shop." Seeing her girl's expression change, she hurriedly added, "She is here to make clothes. She doesn't seem to know that she is here."
Only then did Xue Ru calm down and murmured: "What a coincidence that there are so many embroidery workshops in the capital, but they come here to make clothes? She doesn't know anything, does she?"
The girl quickly comforted her: "Don't worry, girl, maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, Mingyue Embroidery Workshop is quite famous, right?"
That being said, there are many famous embroidery workshops in the capital, and this place is not close to the Xu family’s house...
The more Xue Ru thought about it, the more uneasy she became, so she quickly put on the embroiderer's clothes, disguised herself briefly, opened the door and quietly went downstairs.
In the shop, the shopkeeper was introducing fabrics. His mouth was dry while talking, and he finally asked with a smile: "I wonder which one the county gentleman likes?"
Xu Yin glanced at it casually: "They are all good, so let's take them all."
Shop owners naturally like generous patrons. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes. How many spring clothes are you going to make and how many summer clothes are you making?"
Xu Yin put down the tea cup: "Don't be busy, it will be Women's Day in a few days. I have to go to the royal banquet and need to meet a few empresses. I need to make some clothes that are suitable for people to see!"
The clothes made in my own embroidery workshop were worn to meet nobles. This was a good opportunity to make a name for myself. The shopkeeper said hurriedly: "So that's it. I wonder what the county king wants to make it like? Our embroidery shop has many styles, and the county king can do it."
Take a look and if you have special requirements, we can do it separately."
Xiaoman looked at his lady's face and replied for her: "Okay, let's take a look first."
The shopkeeper turned around and gave an order. After a while, the girls came over with clothes in hand, showed them one by one and explained them, and then asked: "Which one does the county gentleman like?"
Xu Yin looked at it and said: "These are very common. This Women's Day is the first time I meet you ladies, so I need to leave a good impression. I heard that there was a kind of skirt in Beijing, which was made of light and thin clothes.
The fabric is folded into layers of folds, and it moves like water ripples, resembling a fairy skirt. Shopkeeper, can you make this kind of skirt?"
After saying these words, the shopkeeper couldn't help but look up at her. Xue Ru, who was eavesdropping from behind, shrank in shock.
There is indeed such a skirt in Beijing, and it was the one worn by Mr. Xue when he was selected as the oiran!
Did she do it on purpose? Has her whereabouts been discovered?
The shopkeeper's lips trembled slightly, and he asked calmly: "Is it the Shuiyue Liuxian skirt? Our embroidery workshop can make it, please take a look at it——"
Xu Yin looked at the sample dress and finally nodded: "That's it. It will be delivered in seven days. Is there any problem?"
The shopkeeper thought for a moment: "There are many hidden patterns on the county gentleman's clothes, and the time is a bit tight. However, we will ask the embroiderer to work hard and we should be able to make it."
"That's good." Xu Yin turned around and called, "Xiaoman, please give me a deposit!"
"yes."
Collecting money and issuing receipts, until Xu Yin took the maid into the car and drove away from the street, the shopkeeper finally exhaled and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
She turned her head and saw Xue Ru standing behind her. She couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Are you afraid that your whereabouts will not be exposed? You actually dare to come to the front, go back to the house!"
Xue Ru started to speak but stopped: "Shopkeeper Xia..."
The shopkeeper wasn't too happy, but he still got up and followed her back to the backyard, avoiding people and talking in a low voice.
"What does she mean by this? Could it be that she came here to find out what's going on?" Xue Ru frowned tightly.
The shopkeeper shook his head: "There was nothing unusual about her expression when she spoke. At her age, she shouldn't be able to do it without leaving any trace, right?"
Xue Ru couldn't help but think of the situation in Nanyuan Mingde Building. At that time, Miss Xu San was just like an arrogant girl who relied on her father's favor to run rampant. But what was the result? She was detained by her for no reason at all, and she was not alert at all.
.By the time an abnormality was discovered, the dead man behind it had been fished out...
"No, this girl can't judge by common sense. We have to prepare for the worst."
The shopkeeper was unhappy when he heard this: "What is the worst plan? Do you want to ask the master to abandon this stronghold? I have been in business for ten years and you want to destroy it with just one word, just based on this baseless suspicion?"
"
Xue Rudao: "Shopkeeper Xia, you don't know how powerful this girl is..."
"I really don't know," the shopkeeper interrupted her coldly, "So far, my embroidery workshop has been running well. It's not like you. When you go out, not only do you fail to complete the task, but you also endanger the entire Wolf Division.
No more. The Wolf Division was secretly trained by the master. Each one was carefully selected and spent a lot of money. They worked for the master through life and death. They have only lost a few hundred people over the years, but the only thing that happened to you is this.
About thirty people. Haha, based on your ability to do things, do you think I should believe what you say?"
"You——" Xue Ru became angry.
Thinking back to the beginning, when she was in the spotlight, who was the shopkeeper of an intelligence base? He didn’t even dare to fart in front of her, but now, he was accusing her like this!
"In short, everything is fine now. If you are not happy, then just find another place to hide. My small temple cannot afford to house a big Buddha!"
The shopkeeper said this and walked away.
Xue Ru was furious and went back to the house to get angry for a long time.
The girl timidly asked: "Girl, what should we do?"
Xue Ru took a deep breath and finally stood up: "Let's go! Let's change places!"
Nothing good happens when she meets that dead girl, she would rather make a fuss out of it.
…
Outside the embroidery workshop, Xiao Sang quickly ran back to the carriage with the pancake in her arms.
"Miss, hurry up, it's freshly baked."
"Wow, it smells so good!" Xiao Man took it and each of them held it and ate it.
Just after taking two bites, Xiao Sang suddenly said: "Senior brother summoned, someone has come out!"
