Chapter 231 Lin Mansion 26
Jingyue walked in front, constantly introducing the situation of the courtyard to Yunchu along the way.
Although Yun Chu had been here once before, he had only been to the main hall and was not familiar with other places.
"Our Wutong Garden is the largest courtyard besides the master's. The main hall is where the lady usually receives guests. The west wing is her bedroom. The east wing was previously occupied by the eldest young master and has been empty since he moved out."
Having said that, Jingyue stopped and pointed to an exquisite and magnificent pavilion in front of her.
Yun Chu was shocked when he saw the quaint building in front of him. Compared with the modern simple villa, this ancient building obviously has more historical charm.
After introducing the main hall, Jingyue continued to walk forward and came across a small garden.
Compared to the large garden in the center of the Lin Mansion, this one is small but fully equipped, which shows that the eldest lady is also a person who loves flowers.
There are a few bamboos planted in the corner of the wall next to the garden, which add a touch of cool elegance to the beautiful flowers.
"This is Wutong Garden's small kitchen. Madam, if you have any snacks you want, just call the small kitchen. You don't have to send someone to ask the big kitchen to make them."
Jingyue curled her lips and said, "You don't know, Aunt Hua likes to keep an eye on our Wutong Courtyard. She knows any disturbance here faster than the master."
Then she pointed to a small house nearby: "That's our bedroom. First-class maids have their own separate rooms, second-class maids have triple rooms, and everyone else has a large bunk bed."
People with high status not only earn more money, but also have better benefits than others.
No wonder Linlang was so angry. No one could help but be angry if it were anyone else.
Finally, Jingyue brought Yunchu to the side room, which was a room that was rarely used and was mostly used to store sundries.
"Tell me, what's going on with Shui Lian? What's so serious that they have to tie her up so tightly?"
Yun Chu told everything that had happened before.
Jingyue frowned, "No wonder she looked so familiar to me, it turns out she is the maid who stole your reward.
Look at you, you chose to let her go, and she didn't show any gratitude and did her job well, but she actually thought of secretly cutting off other people's clothes to vent her anger."
Jingyue looked at Shuilian with disgust. It would be best to kick this kind of person out of the house as soon as possible because he would never repent.
"I'll go tell Madam later that we won't employ someone like her who refuses to change after repeated admonitions."
Shui Lian panicked. She didn't want to leave. "I didn't mean to do that. I was just confused for a moment. Yes! I was just confused for a moment.
I am willing to compensate Qian Xing with a more expensive and better dress. Please, Sister Jingyue, please don't kick me out of the house!"
After hearing this, Yun Chu and Jing Yue were speechless. If they had known this would happen, why did they do it in the first place?
Not only is he jealous and cannot stand others doing well, but he is also cruel and vindictive. Who would dare to keep such a person?
Jingyue and Yunchu tacitly ignored Shuilian. It was hard to explain to her what happened to this kind of person.
"Madam should have washed up by now. Come with me to meet Madam. Our Wutong Courtyard is a good place. As long as we work hard and don't think about the mess, Madam will not treat us badly."
She couldn't guarantee anything else, but at least the monthly salary and benefits were the best.
There is not a single servant in the Lin Mansion who doesn't want to come to Wutong Courtyard to work.
Soon, Yun Chu arrived at the door of the main hall again.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and talk to the lady first."
Jingyue walked into the main hall alone, leaving Yunchu and Shuilian waiting outside.
Soon, Jingyue opened the curtain and waved to Yunchu, "Come in."
Yun Chu nodded, handed the hemp rope to a maid at the door, and followed Jingyue into the main hall.
In the main hall,
The lady was wearing a purple double-breasted gown with a horse-faced skirt of the same color. Her majesty revealed her graceful and elegant figure.
There are a few simple emerald and white jade hairpins on the bun, a pair of gentle eyes under a pair of curved willow-leaf eyebrows, and white jade pearl earrings of the same style on the ears.
Her outfit was simple yet exquisite, worthy of being the mistress of a wealthy family.
Seeing Yun Chu coming in, the eldest lady put down the small and exquisite teacup in her hand and smiled lightly.
"You're here? Are you feeling uncomfortable getting used to it?"
Yun Chu shook her head: "To answer Madam, I think this place is great. If you have any questions, just ask Sister Jingyue."
The eldest lady nodded gently: "That's good, Jingyue should have told you that from now on you will be my first-class maid.
It's different here than in the big kitchen. There's no dirty work, but there's only one thing you need to remember all the time. Do you know what it is?"
Yun Chu lowered her eyes and replied respectfully: "I am Madam's maid. I must respect Madam in everything. Nothing is more important than Madam. I will always remember what I should and shouldn't do."
Yun Chu knew that the lady was trying to warn her. With the example of Ding You, Wutong Courtyard would definitely be very strict during this period.
Jingyue on the side looked at Yunchu with admiration. She didn't expect that this girl looked quiet but spoke so sweetly. No wonder the lady took a liking to her at first sight and specifically asked her to work in Wutong Courtyard.
The eldest lady nodded. Although she looked gentle, she was not someone who could be easily fooled.
What Yun Chu said sounded nice, but everyone can say nice things, the key is whether you can do it.
"You just arrived today, so you don't have to work during the day. Go back to your room and have a good rest. Come back to my place to keep watch at night."
As she spoke, the lady looked at Jingyue who was standing beside her.
"Jingyue, take Yunchu to pick a room later."
Jingyue nodded: "I understand."
After finishing Yun Chu's business, the eldest lady glanced towards the door.
"I heard that you brought a maid who had made a mistake from the main kitchen?"
Yun Chu nodded: "According to the reply, the maid's name is Shui Lian. She was originally in charge of making desserts in the kitchen. She made a mistake before, but Sister Jingyue was generous and forgave her.
But she was so jealous that she stole the clothes of the maid in the same room to vent her anger, and damaged the dress that the maid was supposed to wear on the engagement day.
The eldest lady said without blinking an eye: "She has made mistakes again and again, which shows that she is not a kind person. Just sell her off. As for her monthly salary, give it to the maid named Qian Xing."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Give Qian Xing a little more money to mend her dress. Don't let such a stupid person ruin the engagement day."
Jingyue nodded: "Yes, I will do it right away. Qianxing will be happy when she knows it."
After saying that, he took Yun Chu and left the main hall.
