Gu Jinli smiled and greeted her, "Greetings to the Old Madam, wishing the Old Madam well. Responding to the Old Madam, I am indeed the Qin Family Woman, Gu."
"Not bad, she's well-mannered." Old Lady Fan was slightly surprised, having heard that the Gu Family were refugees from the famine, yet their etiquette and mannerism seemed quite dignified and not crude.
Old Lady Fan lifted her hand, intending to treat Gu Jinli as she would others, inviting her to sit nearby for conversation, but the foul scent filling the tent made her reconsider, quickly lowering her hand.
Gu Jinli knew the Old Lady Fan was unimpressed with her, but didn't get upset, instead smiled and said, "Old Madam, today the servants in the family found some snake ointment grass roots, which can relieve itchiness when applied to frostbite after being ground into juice. I've brought some for you; I hope the Old Madam won't disdain it, and will accept my small gift."
