Chapter 211 Lin Mansion 6
Chapter 211 Lin Mansion 6
After walking a few steps out of the study, Yun Chu saw Brother Fuquan walking in from outside, holding a bowl in his hand, but the mung bean soup in the bowl was almost empty.
"The girl's mung bean soup was delivered at the perfect time. After drinking a bowl of it, I felt much cooler."
Fuquan smiled and returned the empty bowl to Yunchu.
Seeing that the other party was in a good mood, Yun Chu pretended to be worried and asked about the women in the backyard.
After all, she was not a native, so she had no idea who was the eldest lady and who was the concubine, not to mention which courtyard they lived in.
Since she had just received the reward and Fuquan had a good impression of her, as long as her questions were not too exaggerated, they would basically be answered.
Sure enough, Fuquan hesitated for a moment and finally told Yunchu.
"You usually stay in the kitchen and don't know much about the masters' affairs. Well, I will give you some advice today."
"Our Master Lin's first wife's maiden name was Liu. The Wutong Courtyard where she lived was the largest courtyard besides the master's residence. Her maiden family was a scholarly family, so she had a gentle personality and never showed disdain to us servants.
When you go out later, turn right, walk through the garden, turn left, and walk through a corridor. The place with a pond at the entrance is Madam's Wutong Courtyard."
Yun Chu listened carefully and tried to write down everything.
Seeing that she was serious, Fuquan spoke more carefully.
"Our master has three concubines. The first one to enter the mansion was Concubine Hua. She is the master's distant cousin. When she was ten years old, her parents were killed by robbers while doing business outside. Since then, she has lived in the mansion. Later, the old lady who is still alive arranged for her to be betrothed to the master. Concubine Hua lives in Qingfeng Cottage and has a son and a daughter."
Yun Chu nodded. She had a weak cousin who had lost both her parents, and they were also her childhood sweetheart. This buff was almost full.
"Be careful when you go to Aunt Hua's place. She has children by her side and has a special relationship with the master. Naturally, her personality is a little special. Come back quickly after you deliver the mung bean soup."
Fuquan looked at Yunchu with pitiful eyes, and said that Yunchu had a special personality in a nice way.
To put it bluntly, she is overbearing and unreasonable. She doesn't care about anyone except the master. Sometimes even the first wife has to give in. After all, she is not an ordinary concubine.
Aunt Hua is not someone you can easily mess with. This little girl is so pretty, don't give her mung bean soup or you'll lose your life.
Yun Chu didn't care. She had seen all kinds of cruel and vicious monsters. If all else failed, she would just spend money. If money couldn't solve the problem, she would use force. There was always a way to solve the problem.
"There are two other concubines living in Jinxiu Hall and Shuixie Tower respectively. The one living in Jinxiu Hall is Concubine An, and the one living in Shuixie Tower is Concubine Bai.
Aunt An was the younger sister of the master's classmate. Because her brother failed the imperial examinations several times in a row, he couldn't figure out why and jumped into the river, leaving behind such a sister. The master saw that she had nowhere else to go so he took her in as his aunt.
Aunt Bai is our Madam's dowry. The first Madam is pregnant and considerate of the master, so she took the initiative to raise her to the position of Aunt. Aunt Bai is also the quietest and least talkative master in the mansion, and she has no children yet. "
After listening to this, Yun Chu felt that the identities of these concubines were not simple. Some were cousins, some were friends’ sisters, and some were wives who came to the door personally. It was not easy to offend any of them.
However, with Fuquan's explanation, Yun Chu had a general understanding of the Lin Mansion, which was better than being blindly groping in the dark before.
"Thank you, Brother Fuquan. Without you, I would have taken a lot of detours."
Fuquan was willing to say these words not only because of the bowl of mung bean soup, but also because the little girl in front of him was the first person besides Miss Mingyue who could enter the master's study.
In his opinion, as long as Yun Chu doesn't do anything stupid, he will definitely have a bright future. He naturally has to make plans for the future, and it never goes wrong to make one more friend.
"Madam is considerate of servants. You must have received rewards in the past. Aunt An has a gentle personality. Although Aunt Bai is taciturn, she came from Madam's side. Only you need to pay more attention to Aunt Hua."
Yun Chu didn't expect that a bowl of mung bean soup would bring so much information. This Fu Quan is really weird.
He said so much in such a hot day, so Yun Chu was naturally not stingy and directly took out two ghost money and handed them to him.
"Thank you, Brother Fuquan. I've remembered it all."
After saying that, he left happily, leaving Fuquan holding the paper money in his hand, so excited that he didn't know what to do, for fear that he would accidentally tear it.
the other side,
After Yun Chu left the study courtyard, he turned right as Fu Quan had said and saw the garden.
It was not as quiet as Mr. Lin's courtyard, but the garden was filled with all kinds of flowers competing for beauty.
However, Yun Chu had no time to appreciate the beautiful scenery. She had to hurry up and complete her task.
But before going to the eldest lady's courtyard, she had to go to the small kitchen to get another bowl of mung bean soup and take out the empty bowl.
You can't open the lunch box and show the empty bowl to the lady,
You have to follow the rules when you are in someone else's territory. Yun Chu doesn't want to be punished.
After returning to the small kitchen and getting another bowl of mung bean soup, Yun Chu headed towards the eldest lady's Wutong Courtyard.
The garden is located in the center of the entire Lin Mansion and is the junction of various courtyards.
Further to the side is the corridor that runs through the entire garden.
The corridors were carved with exquisite patterns, which amazed Yun Chu, a man who had not seen much of the world.
Mr. Lin is indeed a businessman. Look at this garden and the landscaping. In Yun Chu's eyes, they are all money.
The sun was so strong outside that Yun Chu felt dizzy, so she hid under the corridor as soon as she passed through the garden.
With the shelter of the corridor, Yun Chu suddenly felt a lot cooler and the air was not so stuffy anymore.
Yun Chu looked at the time. It was only a little after noon, and there were still more than three hours until the mission was over.
Fortunately, there weren't many masters in the Lin Mansion, otherwise three hours wouldn't be enough for her to run around in the courtyards.
Because the Lin Mansion was indeed too big, and Mr. Lin was a businessman and had no shortage of money, he could naturally decorate it however he wanted.
After resting for a while, Yun Chu continued walking along the corridor and soon saw a pond with rippling water.
The water in the pool is crystal clear and the breeze creates ripples.
Directly opposite the pond is the Madam's Wutong Courtyard, with several Wutong trees planted around the courtyard.
This is probably the origin of the courtyard's name.
Yun Chu took a look at the mung bean soup in the food box, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong, he knocked on the door of the eldest lady's courtyard.
