Chapter 210 Lin Mansion 5

After Mother Zhai left, Yun Chu was the only one left in the small kitchen.

She took a portion of mung bean soup and put it in the lunch box. The first place she wanted to send it was to Master Lin.

As the person with the highest status in the Lin family, Mr. Lin had to send all the good things to him first.

Then came the lady in the backyard, the concubines, and the young masters and young ladies.

The Lin Mansion is very big. As a businessman, Mr. Lin's mansion is naturally not bad.

At just one glance, you can see the exquisite pavilions and towers.

Starting from the entrance, a winding corridor runs through the entire garden, which is just right for avoiding the scorching sun.

Yunchu followed the corridor through the garden and stopped on a small bridge. The willow branches beside the pond hung low over the water.

A few dragonflies flew by, leaving ripples on the water.

Finally, after passing through a bamboo forest, Yun Chu felt suddenly much cooler.

In front of me is a quiet and elegant courtyard. It seems that this is the residence of Mr. Lin.

Through the archway is a small courtyard. There are not many flowers in the courtyard, but more green trees.

"Stop! Which courtyard are you from? Why have I never seen you before? The study is a restricted area, no outsiders are allowed to approach!"

As Yun Chu approached the study, he was stopped by a servant.

The servant stood at the door of the study, with a stern face, not letting Yun Chu in. It was obvious that he thought she was a maidservant serving the concubines who were vying for favor.

"Young man, I am from the kitchen, and I am here to bring the mung bean soup to the master. Sister Mingyue should have told you about this."

When Yun Chu saw the servant trying to stop her, she was not in a hurry. She took a few steps back before explaining.

The servant thought about it and suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember, Miss Mingyue did say this.

Here, give me the mung bean soup and I'll help you get it in."

How could this be possible? I don't have many opportunities to see Master Lin, and even fewer opportunities to enter his study.

She was also thinking of using this opportunity to see if there was anything wrong with Master Lin.

We can’t just let them have the mung bean soup that we worked so hard to make for half a day.

Just when Yun Chu was about to find an excuse to stay, Master Lin's voice came from the study.

"Let her in."

Hearing the master's words, the servant immediately turned sideways to make way for Yun Chu.

Before entering the study, Yun Chu took out a bowl of mung bean soup from the lunch box and handed it to him, saying with a smile,

"The heat is unbearable, brother, drink this bowl of iced mung bean soup to cool down."

The servant waved his hands in panic: "How can this be possible? It is not my turn to eat the food that the masters have eaten."

"Sister Mingyue said that everyone has a share today, so don't refuse, little brother."

Yun Chu handed the bowl directly to the servant, not giving him a chance to refuse.

The servant looked at the mung bean soup in his hand in embarrassment, then looked at the closed study door behind him.

"You should take it if she gives it to you. It's just a bowl of mung bean soup."

Although Mr. Lin was in the study, he knew everything about the situation outside.

Only with Mr. Lin's consent did the servant dare to accept the mung bean soup.

Yun Chu gently pushed open the door and took in the scene inside.

The first person I saw was the master. He was sitting at the desk, holding a brush in his hand, his brows slightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Behind Mr. Lin is an antique display shelf filled with antiques and books.

There weren't many things around the study. There were two flower stands by the window, but there were no flowers on them. Instead, there were two vases of rich peonies.

There is a wooden box in the corner with some basic books on it, which is not very eye-catching.

Master Lin didn't say anything, Yun Chu could only wait quietly by the side.

After a while, Mr. Lin stopped writing, picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip.

"The one in the big kitchen?"

Yun Chu took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully, "My lord, I am from the kitchen and I brought you some iced mung bean soup."

Yun Chu was sometimes quite impressed with himself, for being able to quickly get into his role without changing his expression and not laughing.

Master Lin put down his teacup and glanced at Yun Chu.

Then his eyes fell on the mung bean soup that was still emitting a chilly air.

"You did it?"

Yun Chu nodded slightly: "This is what I made. I added rock sugar to the mung beans and boiled them over low heat. After they cooled down, I added ice cubes. It tasted cool and delicious."

Mr. Lin nodded, picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it into his mouth to taste.

Yun Chu took this opportunity to carefully check the study, trying to find anything wrong.

But whether it is the antique shelf, the flower pot, or the desk, nothing seems strange.

Although it was exquisite, it was not enough to arouse Yun Chu's suspicion.

Yun Chu glanced at Master Lin again. He looked middle-aged, but well-maintained. He looked elegant and easy-going yet dignified.

It's normal and there's nothing strange about it.

But it was this very normality that made Yun Chu feel something was wrong.

The name of this copy is Lin Mansion. Is Mr. Lin, the head of the Lin Mansion, really an ordinary middle-aged man who is kind and easy-going as he appears to be?

Yun Chu always felt that Mr. Lin might not be as simple as he seemed.

"Well, it's good. This mung bean soup tastes sweet and soft. It is even more refreshing after adding ice cubes." After drinking the mung bean soup, Mr. Lin nodded approvingly.

"Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Yun Chu pretended to be terrified: "Serving the master is my duty, I dare not expect a reward."

Master Lin smiled gently: "You deserve a reward for a job well done. Just ask for whatever you want."

Yun Chu hesitated for a moment before speaking: "Sister Mingyue used her monthly salary to treat everyone to the mung bean soup, and the mung beans were from the kitchen. The most I did was to help out and watch the fire.

I feel really bad about giving this reward to one person, so why not share this reward with Sister Mingyue and the people in the kitchen?"

There was no point in her rewarding him, so it would be better to give it away as a favor so that others would remember her kindness, which would make things much easier for them in the future.

Master Lin laughed loudly: "You are quite interesting, little girl. Since you said so, then I will reward you as you said."

After saying that, he called out to the door: "Fuquan!"

"The slave is here."

The young man who had just stood at the door to stop Yun Chu pushed the door open and walked in.

"Tell the accountant that Mingyue and the kitchen staff will each receive two taels of silver. As for the mung bean soup, don't deduct Mingyue's monthly salary. Pay from the public purse."

It is probably because of the mung bean soup that he can relieve internal heat, Mr. Lin seems to be in a good mood at the moment.

"I will send someone to talk to the accountant right away."

After saying this, Fuquan went out happily.

Without Master Lin's permission, Yun Chu couldn't just leave, so he could only continue standing there.

"This mung bean soup is pretty good. Send it to the Madam."

After saying that, Mr. Lin waved his hand to signal Yun Chu that he could leave.

With permission, Yun Chu immediately put away the bowl and spoon, took a quick look at the study, made sure there was no problem, and then stepped out.
