Chapter 791
After hearing what the other wives and ladies said, they covered their mouths with their handkerchiefs and smiled. The meaning of Yunjiao's words could not be clearer. They knew that she was laughing at her, the businessman's wife!
Everyone knows that the status of businessmen is low, especially in the eyes of these noble ladies, they are poor people who have nothing but money.
She said this loudly enough that Xia Yu could clearly understand it when she was still some distance away.In her heart, she never felt that she was of low birth, so of course she didn't care about this title.
However, if she hadn't fought back, Yunjiao would have made more progress, so she just smiled and said, "Thank you, Concubine Liang, for the invitation. I'm just a merchant's wife, and I can attend this kind of banquet with the wives and ladies today , is my luck."
She specifically emphasized the word "together".
There is a saying that birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups.The meaning of Xia Yu's sentence is, since you invited me to attend the banquet with them, then it means that my status is equal to theirs.Their status is noble, so my status will not be low.
If you think I'm inferior, it's implying that you also think they are inferior.That's why you put us together, doesn't it?
Sure enough, when Xia Yu said this, the wives and ladies who were still giggling just now were immediately upset. What they were angry was not what Xia Yu said, but whether Yunjiao deliberately invited them to join a business woman. Doesn't it mean that their status is the same?
Yun Jiao was gnashing her teeth in anger. She wanted to take this opportunity to insult Xia Yu, but she didn't expect to be dismissed by her again and again. Now she can't continue to laugh at her low status, so she can only change her words according to her wishes. Said: "Mrs. Li, you don't have to be overly modest. Although the Li family is a merchant, they have also made a lot of contributions to the court."
Hearing this sentence, the faces of those noble ladies and ladies eased up. Since Xia Yu's status is not low, then she will not humiliate their status if she participates with her.
It was inconvenient for Yunjiao to speak again, but she winked at a maid beside her. The maid understood, and said with a serious face: "Although the Li family has made some contributions to the country, this etiquette cannot be neglected. Seeing everyone Miss Ma'am, don't you know how to bow down?"
Hearing what she said, those people laughed again. They thought they were noble, so of course they didn't need to salute, but Xia Yu had no status, and when she came, she didn't ask everyone here to kneel and salute. And it wasn't just Yunjiao who offended, but everyone here.
Xia Yu glanced at the people around him indifferently. Most of them were the wives and daughters of officials in the court. The ancient times were not like the modern ones. There was a lot of hierarchy here. Logically speaking, she should really salute them.
But in order to make things difficult for her, Yunjiao deliberately asked her servants to tell her to kneel and worship. It is conceivable that there are so many people here, and there are many servants. Yes, but if you kneel... how embarrassing it is!
Yun Jiao looked at her smugly, with undisguised sarcasm at the corner of her mouth, just waiting to see how she would respond.
You know, it's okay for Xia Yu to be rude to her, but there are so many people here, if it's still like this, as long as she provokes a little, I believe other people will not stand it and will deal with her.
