Yun Chu was shocked. She never thought that Yin Hui was here too. Was he also one of the players?
Yin Hui, who was standing by, took the bowl and drank some mung bean soup before speaking: "I did have some difficulty adapting to the local climate, but I'm much better now."
Fuquan nodded. Yinhui was the master's groom. He usually took care of the horses in the mansion when he had nothing to do. The two of them were not very familiar with each other, so they didn't talk much.
When Yun Chu heard this voice, he became even more certain that the Yin Hui in front of him was the one he knew, but why was he here?
While Fuquan was busy, Yunchu followed Yin Hui to a table in the corner.
Seeing someone following him, Yin Hui paused, then walked to another table.
Yun Chu’s butt was about to touch the stool, but the next second he stood up and walked towards Yin Hui.
"Why do you always follow me?" Yin Hui turned around and asked helplessly.
Yun Chu now saw his face clearly: "It's really you, why are you here?"
Seeing that he couldn't get rid of her, Yin Hui had to give up: "If I want to regain my memory, I can only become a player."
Originally he didn't care much about the lost memory, but then he thought that it was his memory, why not get it back?
But he had no way to recover his memory immediately, so he had no choice but to enter the copy and try his luck.
"Then you also have a personal mission, what is it?"
With such an acquaintance around, Yun Chu relaxed a lot. God knows how tiring it was for her to play the role of a maid.
When facing your master, you must be respectful, polite, and not reveal any flaws.
Speaking of personal tasks, Yin Hui's face changed, and finally he said helplessly: "Cure the Ferghana horse that was about to die due to acclimatization."
Yes, this is his personal mission. It is not difficult for him to save a horse.
The hard part was getting used to the smell in the stable. Although he wasn't a germaphobe, he was still shocked by the horse manure all over the floor when he first entered the dungeon.
The dirty environment, the bad smell, the hot weather, every one of them gave him a headache.
Speaking of Yin Hui's memory, Yun Chu felt a little guilty. The scene of coaxing Yin Hui before was still vivid in his mind.
Just then, Fuquan finished distributing all the mung bean soup and came over.
"Yun Chu, what are you talking about?"
Yun Chu put on his old mask again and smiled: "We didn't talk about anything, just got to know this Yin Hui brother."
"Blam me, blame me. Let me introduce you, Yin Hui, the master's groom, who also manages the stables in the mansion."
Fuquan then remembered that he had not introduced each other yet.
"This is Yunchu, a maid in the main kitchen. She made the mung bean soup you drank, but starting tomorrow she will be the first-class maid beside the Madam."
When he mentioned the words "first-class maid", Fuquan raised his head proudly, as if he was the one who was promoted.
Yin Hui nodded at Yun Chu, as if he was meeting her for the first time.
Yunchu didn't have time to reminisce with Yinhui. Besides, Yinhui had lost his memory, so there was nothing to reminisce about.
After seeing that everyone had finished drinking the mung bean soup, Yun Chu and Fu Quan said goodbye and walked towards the next destination.
The subsequent tasks went very quickly. The eldest lady was very welcoming to Yun Chu, and several maids surrounded Yun Chu and chattered non-stop.
If it weren’t for the mission, Yun Chu probably wouldn’t have been able to leave.
The work went just as smoothly for Aunt Bai and Aunt An, because the servants in the aunts' courtyards were not as many as those in the madam's, so the work was completed in less than half an hour on both sides.
Finally, it was Aunt Hua's side. Yun Chu was standing at the gate of the yard holding a wooden bucket. He felt a headache when he thought of Aunt Hua's difficult appearance.
Aunt Hua's yard is filled with all kinds of bright flowers, and there are even racks installed for vines to climb.
The rules state that if you want to enter the courtyard, you must get permission from the owner, otherwise it will be considered a violation.
[Rule 3. You are not allowed to enter or leave any of the master's courtyards in the Lin Mansion at will, unless the master agrees to let you enter or leave. If you are discovered, you will bear the consequences yourself.]
Yun Chu walked on the bluestone path, passed through the flowers and came to the gate of the courtyard and knocked on the door. Soon a voice came from inside.
"Who?"
The door was opened quickly, and the person who opened it was a little girl of about sixteen or seventeen years old. She had two buns on her head, had fair skin, and was very cute.
"I'm Yunchu from the kitchen. I'm here to bring you some mung bean soup. It's too hot today, so drink it to cool down."
Seeing the door being opened, Yun Chu immediately smiled and raised the wooden bucket containing mung bean soup in his hand.
But as soon as this cute little girl opened her mouth, Yun Chu got a headache.
"I'm sorry, our aunt said that no one is allowed to come in." After saying this, the little girl was about to close the door.
Yun Chu was quick to block the door with his foot: "Wait, I'm just here to deliver the mung bean soup, I'll leave after I'm done."
The little girl was a little embarrassed: "But my aunt said that we are not allowed to drink mung bean soup, and I can't do anything..."
"Sister Yunchu, please don't embarrass me. Auntie really said that you are not allowed to come in."
The little girl's eyes became red as she spoke, as if Yun Chu was the unkind person.
Yun Chu sighed, took out a ghost money from his sleeve and stuffed it into the little girl's hand: "Just let me in, I'll talk to my aunt, if she blames you, you can say that I broke in by force, and don't you want to drink some mung bean soup and have a good rest?"
The little girl clutched the paper money in her hand, feeling a little excited. It was getting hotter day by day after the beginning of summer. The masters were fine, hiding in the house with ice cubes to cool down and feel more comfortable.
But the servants were miserable. No matter how hot the weather was, they had to do all the work. They were so hot that they felt dizzy and wanted to jump into the pool to soak.
But when she thought of Aunt Hua's methods, she hesitated again. It was not worth it to endure Aunt Hua's anger for a bowl of mung bean soup.
Seeing her hesitate, Yun Chu took out another ghost money and said, "This is also for you, as your hard work fee. If it succeeds, you can drink mung bean soup and get money. If it fails, it doesn't matter, I will take care of it."
The little girl was even more tempted. Two ghost money were enough for her to buy a lot of delicious food, but...
"If my aunt finds out that I took your money, she will beat me to death." The little girl hardened her mind and wanted to return both pieces of paper money to Yun Chu.
Yun Chu had no choice but to add another ghost money: "This is fine, right? This much money is enough for you to buy a lot of delicious and fun things, or you can buy a new summer outfit. I heard that Shuixiu Pavilion has recently released a lot of new styles of clothes, which are very beautiful."
The little girl was very excited, but still hesitant.
Just then, a crisp voice came from the yard.
"Zhao'er, who are you talking to? Why don't you come in?"
Zhao Er was startled and quickly turned back to look at the yard.
Aunt Hua was walking slowly towards them, holding the hand of a maid. Her face was a little pale, and her eyes were a little red, and she looked as if she had just cried.
"Auntie, it's... it's Yunchu, the maid from the main kitchen. She's here to serve the mung bean soup."
Zhao Er stuttered, still tightly holding the ghost money in her hand, regretting that she had accepted the money Yun Chu had given her.
If my aunt found out now, she would be punished for accepting the money even if she didn't allow Yun Chu to come in.
Aunt Hua frowned slightly and looked at Yun Chu with a bit of disdain.
"Send mung bean soup? I told her not to come in, and you not to drink mung bean soup. Are you deaf or what?"
Aunt Hua's voice was suddenly sharp and piercing, which frightened Zhao'er so much that he trembled and took a few steps back in fear.
