Jin Xiaotao bit her lips, and remained silent. After a while, she was just about to say something, when she saw Attendant leading Jin Xiaofeng who was walking over.
Golden Fragrance patted Jin Xiaotao's shoulders and whispered into her ear: "Don't be in such a hurry to answer me. Think carefully before telling me."
In the next moment, Jin Xiaofeng was already in front of him.
Jin Xiaotao pulled the ribbon around her waist, then turned and sat back on the chair.
He pointed to the smoke stove on the ground and did not look at anyone. He said to someone, "The heat furnace is cold. Add some silver charcoal to replace it."
One of the maidservants who followed Jin Xiaotao ran over to call Huang Guizhi, while the other waited far away at the end of the corridor, with only Attendant and Jin Xiaofeng in front.
The Attendant was just a servant in the room, how could he do anything intimate with the Mistress? After bringing her to the room, he immediately went down, leaving only Jin Xiaofeng in front of him, with her eyes wide open, looking at her sister-in-law and then Xiaotao.
"What are you standing there for? Xiao Feng, hurry up and help Xiaotao change the heat. " Golden Fragrance rebuked.
Jin Xiaofeng frowned, and stood there without moving.
Jin Xiaotao was no longer as gentle as she was when she was at Jin Family, with a cold expression, she spoke slowly: "The new servant girl should first kowtow three times for master when she enters the palace. Xiao Feng, since you are my younger sister, I will spare you these three heads. Now go and change the coals for me. I don't have a stove and my hands are freezing. "
"Jin Xiaotao, stop acting weird!" Jin Xiaofeng's eyes were about to burst into flames, she was just frightened by the Wellhead Village, and had a stomach full of grievances. Her mother did not want her, and her husband did not dare return, so she could only listen to Liu Yuyan and ran over to Jin Xiaotao.
"You have rough skin and thick flesh, but you still have to help me wash clothes in the stream during winter. You feed the pigs and feed the chickens by their hands, so why would you need a warm stove!" Jin Xiaofeng understood Jin Xiaotao best. In the past, when they were at home, whenever it was winter, the house would light a fire and there would be no place for Jin Xiaotao in the house.
Jin Xiaotao hated it when people brought up things of the past. The identity of a peasant girl made her unable to raise her head up high in the Residence of She.
After drinking all the tea in one gulp in front of the old master, his wife, and all the servants, he treated the bird's nest as a silver ear and drank it whole at the banquet.
She was afraid that all of these would become the topic of conversation with the people in the mansion who were making fun of her.
Jin Xiaotao waved her hand, summoning the maidservants over.
Jin Xiaofeng was elated in her heart. She thought that this Jin Xiaotao was just like how she was in the past, who didn't dare to go against him;
Unexpectedly, as soon as the servant arrived, Jin Xiaotao shouted sternly: "Kneel!"
Although the servant Chun Zhu was baffled, she obediently knelt on the ground.
"If you make a mistake, I won't be able to beat you to death, but I will be able to pin your fingers with a silver hairpin and let you receive my cane. If you don't let me have my way, I will betroth you to Lame Liu at the entrance of Five Great Streets, and let you serve a paralysis for your entire life! "
Chun Zhu was so scared that her face turned white, she kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Young Madame, please forgive me, I know my wrongs, I will never do it again!"
Jin Xiaotao smiled slightly: "What happened to you?"
Chun Zhu's lips trembled, and said while trembling in fear: "Letting Master be angry is this servant's fault, this servant is to blame!"
Jin Xiaotao suddenly raised her head, and looked towards Jin Xiaofeng, as if he had just discovered that she was still standing there. She said with a face of puzzlement: "Xiao Feng, why haven't you gone to change the heat? What are you standing here for? "
Jin Xiaofeng started, although she was not intelligent, she was not stupid, and listened to everything Jin Xiaotao said by beating the drum.
She had already signed the indenture contract, so she could let her master beat her up and scold her. If her master wasn't satisfied, he could just betroth her out …
Jin Xiaofeng's eyes instantly turned red, she was extremely afraid, and said with a trembling voice, "Xiaotao, I … I don't know where to change the heater. "
Jin Xiaotao raised her hand to have Chun Zhu stand up, "Bring Little Phoenix to exchange for charcoal. Also, remember to teach her the rules.
When Jin Xiaolou saw Huang Guizhi, she finally relaxed.
Gui Zhi had just finished his bath, and his entire body was emitting the pleasant scent of orchid, Gao Lang placed Jin Xiaolou on the chair, and himself slipped away like a wisp of smoke.
Jin Xiaolou just thought that Gao Lang was too lazy to sit still and quickly told him not to run any further.
This was no comparison to ordinary families. If something happened to them, they wouldn't be able to stop.
How would she know that Gao Lang did it out of courtesy.
In the room, Jin Xiaolou had yet to speak but Gui Zhi was the first to pull Jin Xiaolou's hand, "Lou, what's wrong with your leg?"
Jin Xiaolou was a little embarrassed: "I accidentally fell, it's fine. Before we came to the He Fu Palace, Gao Lang pulled me to look at the doctor, he said that I would be fine after resting for a few days."
With that, Jin Xiaolou continued, "Gui Qi, how are you? Who helped you out? What exactly happened with Jin Dacheng's death? "
Huang Guizhi sat down next to Jin Xiaolou: "The judgement of the yamen that Jin Dacheng was harmed by the bandits, has nothing to do with me anymore."
The two knew full well that this was just an excuse. In the forest near the Wellhead Village, where did the bandits come from?
Seeing that Gui Qi had not mentioned the people who had bailed him out, Jin Xiaolou did not ask any further, and changed the topic: "We should move to the town in a few days. The side room of the back courtyard of the shop must have been repaired well, and there are many troubles within the Wellhead Village. Once Jin Dacheng dies, even if it's not our fault, I am afraid Jin Family hates you and me to the bones, so it would be better to stay away from them. "
Gui Qi nodded. "I'll listen to you."
Just as she finished speaking, a Little Maid dressed in emerald clothes stuck her head in: "Miss Huang, Young Madame … Only Aunt Jin would like you to come over and ask her questions! "
"Aunt Jin?" Jin Xiaolou's brows sank, "Tell her that we have already left the Peace Palace."
Jin Xiaolou understood clearly in her heart, what good news would Jin Xiaotao have to tell Huang Guizhi, why must she come here?
The Little Maid hesitated for a moment, but seeing that no one had any intention to move, she grabbed onto her clothes and ran away.
Jin Xiaolou suddenly thought of something, and said to Gui Zhi: "Pack your things first, I will go find the butler to ask him some questions. After that, when we return, we will leave."
Jin Xiaolou called Gao Lang to carry him to the butler, and after a while, she saw Xing Sen standing in the main hall, ordering people to lift a screen with gold paint on it.
"Butler Xing!" Jin Xiaolou called out to stop him.
The butler was extremely busy, when he heard someone call him Ben, he became impatient, turned his head, and upon seeing Jin Xiaolou, he immediately laughed.
It was not only because her master valued Jin Xiaolou, he herself also liked the clever little girl. "Aiyo, Lady Xiaolou, why are you here, I'm really sorry.
As he said that, he waved to the maidservants at the side: "Liusu, Yun Su, the two of you take care of Lady Xiaolou!"
Jin Xiaolou immediately waved her hands. "Butler Xing, I just came to ask you a question, and then I'll leave."
The butler then walked over: "Lady Xiaolou, please ask."
"What about my six hundred cans? After so many days, when will the remaining three hundred silver taels be given to me? " Jin Xiaolou asked.
"Then you didn't receive the three hundred silver?" The butler was taken aback. "Your old master is extremely satisfied. He already paid you for the rest of the money, and it was Miss Feng who brought it back for you!"
The moment she heard Jin Xiaofeng's name, Jin Xiaolou immediately understood. She vaguely remembered that one day, Jin Xiaofeng would come back from the county city and be generous with her money.
It turned out that she was spending her own silver.
What a Jin Xiaofeng, Jin Xiaolou patted Gao Lang's shoulder, "Go and find Gui Qi, we will go back to the village and ask for silver!"
She, Jin Xiaolou, could not give her Jin Family for nothing!
How could he have known that things would turn out this way? Gao Lang carried Jin Xiaolou and just as he passed through the corridor, heading towards the Orchid Snow Pavilion, they bumped into Jin Xiaofeng.
"Halt!" Jin Xiaolou shouted loudly, causing both Jin Xiaofeng and Gao Lang to stop at the same time.
Jin Xiaofeng was wholeheartedly thinking about Jin Xiaotao's attitude towards him just now, but when she was suddenly shouted at, her hands trembled in fear. The smoker that she had just changed had rolled back onto the ground.
He quickly ran to pick it up and wiped off the dust before raising his head.
Upon seeing that it was Jin Xiaolou, Jin Xiaofeng's face immediately turned black: What are you shouting so loudly for! Do you think this is your house? "
"Jin Xiaofeng, stealing three hundred silvers will cost you three hundred silvers, cut off my right finger!"
