Chapter 251: Jenny's Hobbies
After the two of them were seated, Jenny spoke again and asked, "Lord William, how will you arrange for me?" ”
"And what do you want, Jenny?" William asked in an affectionate tone.
"I want to be the commander of an army and have the command of an army." Jenny did not hide her purpose and said frankly.
"It can't be, at least not yet, because you don't owe me allegiance, and I can't entrust my most important soldier to you.
I will keep you by my side and be a maid first, acting as my military adviser, during which I will examine your military talents.
If you satisfy me with your talents, and at the same time you are willing to be loyal to me, I will make you a knight, and make you a military commander, and lead my army to fight for me. William shook his head, looked at Jenny, and said.
William could not have entrusted the most important military power to a person he met for the first time, even if that person was likely to be Joan of Arc of his age.
Although Jenny was a little disappointed by William's answer, she did not give up, and she wanted to prove in front of William that she was capable enough to be a military commander.
Bite... Bell bell...
Butler Osborne, who was standing beside William, shook the brass bell in his hand and instructed the servants outside the door to start serving.
As the door opened, twenty servants from two factions, each with delicacies, fruits and vegetables, white bread, and all kinds of delicious liquor, came to William and Jenny's table in turn, and arranged the plates of delicacies in different categories, and arranged the utensils, candles, and decorations, before slowly withdrawing under the leadership of a waiter.
"This is Camembert, a delicious cheese from the village of Camembert, Countdom of Evre, Duchy of Normandy, and you should definitely try it." William made a grand recommendation to Jenny.
"This is a black pepper fried steak made with the most tender parts of beef and precious black pepper.
This dish is fried foie gras with black truffle, which is rich in nutrients and special effects, and is an ideal food for blood nourishment, which is good with Bordeaux dry red or sweet white wine, and even better with French lemon tart.
The black truffle slices on it are a very precious ingredient, and I only recently found them, and I don't think they have been seen anywhere else. ”
Before William could finish his introduction, Jenny's eyes were already dazzled by the fragrant and delicious dishes, and she inadvertently wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of her mouth, Jenny couldn't help but blush and show shame, it was obvious that she realized her faux pas.
"No matter how you get God's revelation, you're an ordinary peasant girl after all." William thought to himself.
"Let's start eating." William spoke.
However, what happened next surprised William, he thought that Jenny was a foodie, and would indulge in eating so many delicacies, but Jenny ate very little, and tasted everything lightly, even the high-end ingredients and spices that she had never touched at all, she did not take an extra bite, and she also restricted herself from drinking, if it were not for William's kind invitation, she would have taken a few sips of cider.
This really made William look at Jenny, a man who could limit his desires, he could succeed no matter what, and how rare it was for a peasant girl who had never seen the world to restrain her desire to eat to the fullest.
"I'm curious, why do you eat so little?" William endured for a long time, waiting for Jenny to run out before asking.
"Gluttony is one of the seven unpardonable sins of Christianity, and God says that committing the seven deadly sins is unforgivable and will go to hell. Overeating can reinforce people's inferior temperament and paralyze their conscience, which can do a lot of harm. Jenny clasped her hands together and said reverently.
"You are a devout Christian, a faithful Lamb of God, and I admire you." William stood up, stretched out his right hand and invited:
"Today is your first day here, and then you're going to work for me as my maid, and I'll give you two gifts to promise you'll be satisfied."
"Thank you for your gift, Lord William, but I can't accept it, because I didn't give anything, it's unfair and unreasonable." Anne shook her head stubbornly and refused.
"In that case, I will lend you two things for the time being, and when you become a knight, I will redeem them with money or booty." William had never seen such a stubborn person, who was given a gift and did not accept it, so he had no choice but to compromise and think of a workaround.
Jenny thought about it for a moment, but finally nodded her head and said she was willing to accept William's gift.
"Come with me, Jenny." William pretended to be casual and took Jenny's hand and walked towards the outside of the Duke's Palace.
'Ahh
Jenny is a very clean girl who has not had physical contact with anyone but her parents at home, so her reaction is not surprising.
"Here it is, Jenny, that's what I'm going to give you." William pointed ahead with his left hand, turned his head to look at Jenny, and said.
"Lord William, don't let it go yet." Jenny's face flushed, but she still had a smile on her face, and urged William.
"Ah, hahaha, this is a moment of excitement, it is inevitable that something will go wrong in the busyness, it is my rudeness." Despite the slight regret in his heart, William let go of Jenny's fleshy little hand and said apologetically.
Jenny accepted William's apology with a smile, and under his guidance, Jenny finally saw two gifts on the school grounds, a full-body armor of an officer-style cavalryman, a shield, and a steel sword, and a sturdy brown Andalusian horse tethered to the suit.
Jeanne couldn't help but be a little fascinated by the steed's steed and beautiful armor, she stepped forward and stroked the cold and smooth plate armor with both hands, and then walked to the brown Andalusian steed and stroked its cheeks and head.
William knew that Joan of Arc in history liked beautiful armor and horses, so he prepared these two gifts for Jenny to do what she liked, and also to see if she had the same hobbies as Joan of Arc in history.
Now the results of the test are obvious, Jenny's appearance, personality, and hobbies are exactly the same as those of Joan of Arc in history.
When William saw Jenny's movements, he was about to remind her that this war horse didn't like to be touched by others, but before he could be reminded, he entered a scene that shocked him.
The horse neighed with a smile and stretched out its tongue to lick Jenny's hand affectionately, as if to please her, which made William feel very incredible.
