The two girls smiled and nodded. They understood Du Ziteng's loyalty and did not say anything else.
However, a pile of dried flowers in the corner attracted their attention.
Jingshu glanced at the dried flowers, then looked at Du Ziteng. "Housekeeper Du, are these dried flowers sent by Madam Xie?"
"Yes."
Du Ziteng nodded and glanced at the main hall. "Last time, Madam Xie sent some dried flowers. Master treasured them and reached an agreement with Madam Xie. This time, she sent some again."
Jingshu looked at Zhang Yuyao and nodded.
They were now certain that this Madam Xie was the one who visited Prince Zhang last time. These dried flowers were used by Prince Zhang to make perfume.
Since she was already here, they naturally had to meet her.
Thus, she looked at Du Ziteng. "Housekeeper Du, prepare the tea. We will go and meet Madam Xie."
Du Ziteng nodded slightly and waved her hand to signal the servants to prepare. She then said, "This way, Madam Xie is in the main hall."
The two girls nodded, brushed their sleeves, and walked to the main hall.
Passing through the corridor, a group of servants playing with cotton appeared in front of the two girls. However, they were not in the mood to care about this. They walked straight to the main hall.
As soon as they entered the main hall, they saw a woman sitting in the main hall. It was Madam Xie.
"Madam Xie."
The two girls went up to her.
Although they only met Madam Xie once or twice, they remembered her clearly.
It was not because she was outstanding, but because she was polite and graceful no matter what she did. This was not something an ordinary woman could do.
When Madam Xie heard someone calling her, she glanced at the door. Seeing that it was not Zhang Feng, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. However, it disappeared quickly. She then stood up and said, "Hello, ladies."
She naturally had some influence on the two girls in front of her. Ever since her family declined, she sold flowers for a living and trained a pair of good eyes.
Zhang Yuyao stepped forward and smiled. "Madam Xie has a good memory. You still remember us."
"Of course."
Madam Xie nodded slightly and smiled. "Both of you are beautiful and dignified. You and Prince Zhang are talented and beautiful. How could this old woman not remember you?"
These words made the two women happy in their hearts. They were Zhang Feng's future wives. This matter was basically known to everyone in Quan An. However, they couldn't help but feel happy after being praised like this.
Zhang Yuyao smiled and said, "Madam, you're too polite. Come, take a seat."
As she spoke, she gestured for him to take a seat.
"Thank you, ladies."
Madam Xie straightened her skirt and sat down. Then, she thought of something and asked, "Why don't I see Prince Zhang?"
This time, she came to see Prince Zhang. At the same time, she also wanted to talk to Prince Zhang about the dried flowers. If she didn't have the right person, how could she continue with this business deal?
Jingshu seemed to have seen through Madam Xie's thoughts. Just as she was about to reply, a servant came over with tea. She smiled and said, "Madam Xie, don't be anxious. Have a cup of tea to warm your body."
As she spoke, she stroked the rim of Madam Xie's teacup. "Your tea is already cold. Let the servant change it to a hot one."
The servant was quick-witted. When he heard this, he quickly removed the teacup and served three new cups of tea.
Jingshu picked up the teacup and looked at Madam Xie. She smiled and said, "Madam Xie, please have some tea."
Madam Xie originally wanted to discuss the matter as soon as possible. However, seeing that the two in front of her weren't anxious at all and were polite, she couldn't refuse. She picked up the teacup and took a sip. "Thank you, ladies."
Zhang Yuyao put down the teacup and smiled at Madam Xie. "Madam Xie, how many dried flowers did you bring this time?"
Madam Xie frowned and didn't answer immediately. This was because she was here to discuss business with Prince Zhang. Why did these two ladies come out? Could it be that Prince Zhang didn't want to do business anymore and wanted these two girls to send her away?
However, thinking about it, it was impossible. Even if he wanted to send her away, why would these two girls be so polite to her?
After thinking for a while, she still couldn't figure it out.
Therefore, she asked in confusion, "Ladies, please forgive this old woman's impoliteness for asking, but why hasn't Young Master Zhang come out? Hasn't he always been in charge of this matter? "
The two girls looked at each other as if they were sending a message.
After a while, Jingshu smiled and said, "Madam Xie, Prince Zhang has something important to deal with at the Academy and can't leave the mountain. Thus, this matter was temporarily left to us sisters."
"I see."
Madam Xie nodded. Now she could understand why Prince Zhang didn't appear. It turned out that he had left this matter to these two ladies. Although it was a little abrupt, Prince Zhang must have his own matters to attend to.
Thinking about it, she said, "In that case, let's go out and check the goods. The dried flowers are in the front yard. I'm sure you've seen it."
Since someone had already made the decision, finding Prince Zhang didn't matter. As long as they checked the goods and there were no problems, it was fine.
