Being under Madam Ling's control alone, she was completely befitting of the righteous concubine in the Third Branch. How could she ever be at a disadvantage?
"Even if she isn't your Young Miss, as a commoner, aren't you going to kneel when you meet the Old Master?"
In the beginning, Jin Xiaolou did not kneel, but because she had never knelt down before in her entire life, she found it hard to accept this. If she was given time to get used to it, perhaps she would kneel down too. After all, in the dynasty, they have to follow the rules of the dynasty, and Jin Xiaolou was not a headstrong person, so she could do whatever she wanted.
But at that moment, seeing that this Madame was being so aggressive, Jin Xiaolou suddenly steeled her heart and stood firmly.
"Excuse me Madam, is this the county magistrate court? Is the county lord working on a case? If the one sitting on it is the Master of Zhi County in Xin Ning County, I would naturally kneel. But at this moment, before me is the high hall of a pair of newlyweds, a loving father. I show my respect to him, but I will not kneel to him. "
Madam He narrowed her eyes and was about to reply when she clapped with Zhi County. "Well said! "Miss, what's your name?"
"Jin Xiaolou."
"Lady Xiaolou is so learned!" "Have you ever read a book?"
Hearing this, Jin Xiaolou almost cried, she had not only read all the books, she had also read all the books in her life, all the exams in three days, all the exams in five days, all the studying materials, all the tests in a pile, the certificates she had tested in filled a cabinet, the countless of experiments done made her dizzy, and finally, she graduated with great difficulty, all the way to work, and when good days came, she suddenly died and came here!
This woman was the era of virtue and virtue. Her life was truly miserable.
However, He Xia was a man who loved talent, regardless of gender, as long as he had knowledge, he would appreciate it.
"Yes." Jin Xiaolou did not even blink.
Pfft, Jin Xiaofeng laughed out on the spot.
Jin Xiaolou had read before? Perhaps she didn't even know how to write her own name, as this boasted too much and was waiting to watch a good show. "What kind of books have you read?" Woman's Law? "
Jin Xiaolou shook her head.
"'Female Training'?"
Jin Xiaolou still shook her head.
She Zhixian's face turned ugly, and just as she was about to ask, Jin Xiaolou opened her mouth: "You don't have the books I'm reading here."
"Hahahaha." Jin Xiaofeng could not resist laughing out loud, and joked, "Jin Xiaolou, could it be that what you're reading is the Heavenly Book?"
"However, I have read the Four Books and Five Classics that you all know." Jin Xiaolou lowered her head, and looked at Jin Xiaofeng who was crying on the ground, "Those books that I have read, to you, are indeed all heavenly books, I am afraid that you will never know one or two of them in your entire life."
Jin Xiaofeng was stunned, her face flushed red. She herself had never read a book, she also did not believe that Jin Xiaolou had read some sort of book, they had grown up together, how could she not know?
"If you have the ability, say it aloud!" Jin Xiaofeng frowned, waiting for Jin Xiaolou to make a fool of herself.
Jin Xiaolou said casually, "I don't know too much, but I don't know too many years. To ridicule with knowledge? "The fungus is not known to be obscure, the cricket is not aware of the spring and autumn, and this year …"
Jin Xiaolou suddenly remembered something. In her previous life, she died just a short while ago, but she suddenly thought of this if she had to say it.
This was also mocking at Jin Xiaofeng who was on the ground, who was like a fungus and a crayfish that had short eyes. Only in front of him, would she never understand anything that was beyond her sight.
It was just that the most lamentable thing was that Jin Xiaofeng's mind was spinning, she did not understand a single word of Jin Xiaolou's, and did not know that her words had not only lamented her life, but had also mocked herself.
"Alright!" He Zhixian clapped again, his face was full of joy, "This is Zhuang Zi's < Free and Unrestrained Tour >. Lady Xiaolou is indeed talented, Butler, bring Lady Xiaolou to the Gui Hua Hall, serve good wine and good dishes!"
Gui Hua Hall is not far from the main hall, around a small garden, hidden in the loquat leaves, is the dining room with the mansion.
The banquet had already been set up in the hall, but due to the fact that the Residence of Ye had only taken in a concubine and did not invite any guests, there was almost no one in the hall, only the Madame Wu, Madame Xu and one Gao Lang.
The three of them sat at a table. On the table, there were only ordinary dishes, including three meat dishes, three vegetables and three shredded beans and three shredded pork.
Although it was much better than the food that Jin Family would normally eat, it still could not satisfy Madame Wu.
The Madame Wu saw that Jin Xiaolou had put down the chopsticks that she just picked up, and pointed to the window, where Gao Lang was standing: "Wait by the side, there's no place for you to eat."
Unexpectedly, the butler who followed closely behind smiled, and with a wave of his hand, he brought Jin Xiaolou to the table.
Madame Wu and the rest had seen the butler's expression just now, and they almost wanted to raise him up to the sky. He was looking down on them, his poor relatives from the countryside, from the bottom of their hearts, but why was he being so courteous to Jin Xiaolou?
Before Madame Wu could regain her senses, a string of servants had already brought up a plate.
The maidservants wore a yellow jacket and pants, six in each row. They carried blue and white porcelain plates, from tea to snacks, to candied fruits, hot and cold side dishes, and finally, everything was ready.
Madame Wu was dazzled by the sight. Let alone eating, she had even never seen any of these before.
"Shrimp seeds and winter bamboo shoots, Heavenly Fragrance Abalone Fish, Sichuan juice beef willow, sika deer meat pie, golden leg roasted fish, Peach Blossom Mountain Chicken Ding, stewed mushrooms, sweet and sour lotus root, tiger skin peanut, milky white grapes, sesame rolls and date paste cake."
The butler stood obediently by the side. As if he was a servant, he bowed and reported to Jin Xiaolou.
"This... These are all for her to eat? " Madame Wu's face was filled with disbelief, "She is just a married woman, I am Jin Xiaotao's grandmother! Were you on the wrong table? "
The butler replied, "There's nothing wrong with that. The dishes used by Miss Jin Xiaotao's family members are the ones on your table. These are the dishes my master uses to entertain his distinguished guests."
"Honorable guest?" Madame Wu's face fell, "Jin Xiaolou, when did you become an honored guest in terms of County Magistrate Mansion?"
With that, the Madame Wu took out a contract from her bosom. This indenture contract was brought back by Jin Xiaotao for Jin Xiaofeng to take out for each of them.
"You should sign this contract first, otherwise you won't be able to recognize your identity."
Madame Wu passed the indenture contract to Jin Xiaolou.
Seeing that Jin Xiaolou did not have the intention to accept, Madame Wu continued: "Don't forget what Xiaotao said to you this morning."
While saying that, she stood up and sat on Jin Xiaolou's table, and picked up her chopsticks to pick up a bowl of Sky Fragrance Abalone Fish.
The butler stretched out his hand to stop her. "This is Lady Xiaolou's …"
Before she finished speaking, Madame Wu had already pushed him back, "Jin Xiaolou is my little girl, she's about to sign the indenture contract with me, she's going to be my servant for the rest of her life, Sanniang, come over here to eat!"
"That's more like it. Those dishes just now were more like it when they were given to you maids and servants!"
When Madame Wu finished speaking, she seemed to have thought of something and said to the butler, "Call Golden Fragrance over. My Xiang'er, I haven't seen her for a long time. I was thinking about it weirdly."
Madame Wu gulped down the fresh juice of the abalone as she thought to herself, I must let Xiang'er have a taste of such a good dish.
The steward had never seen such a shameless person, so he had no choice but to ask: "Which Golden Fragrance?"
When the Madame Wu heard this, she nearly jumped in anger: "Which other Golden Fragrance? The Golden Fragrance girl from the embroidery workshop! "You don't know him?"
The steward's expression did not change. "Our embroidery workshop has more than a hundred ladies. Naturally, I do not have the time to remember them one by one."
Madame Wu originally thought that his daughter was like a fish in the water with the manor. However, after hearing the butler's words, she realized that she was a Little Maid whose name was not even known by anyone, hence she was both embarrassed and annoyed.
Just as he was about to lose his temper, Golden Fragrance walked out from the Lunar Cave Sect not too far away.
He was rushing anxiously towards the Gui Hua Hall.
The reason why she submitted to Jin Xiaotao's threat today was only because she was worried that the moment Jin Xiaotao had arrived at the Residence of She, she would immediately make a move to take revenge on her against the Lin'er.
Unexpectedly, Jin Xiaotao's wishful thinking had worked out really well, she had even prepared an indenture contract. It was a pity that Jin Xiaolou would never sign such an unequal treaty. With a pounce, she tore the bridge into two, and decided that no matter what she did, she would definitely make the Lin'er return to her side.
Now that the Lin'er was weaned, and he had the ability to support her, if he stayed in the He Mansion and in Golden Fragrance's hands, the Lin'er would only become a tool for them to threaten him time and time again.
Moreover, with the addition of who had married into the He Clan, he probably wouldn't be able to look after Lin'er with all his heart anymore …
Just as he was thinking, a shadow flashed in front of him. Jin Xiang rushed towards Madame Wu and said: "Mother, I've finally found you. Not good, Golden Lin'er is gone!"
