The rules are weird, I bribed weird people in the copy

Chapter 222 Lin Mansion 17

"Alright, alright, you guys are exaggerating too much. Now that you've received the reward, just work hard. As long as you don't do anything weird, your masters will see your hard work."

As a fellow worker, Jingyue could naturally empathize with their excitement. Who doesn't like to get money falling from the sky?

"Don't worry, Sister Jingyue. I have endless energy now. I can chop all the firewood for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow today!"

After a servant said this, he ran off to find an axe with a smile on his face, causing Jingyue to laugh unconsciously as well.

"Okay, go do whatever you need to do. Yunchu and Mother Zhai, stay for a while. I have something to tell you."

Yun Chu and Zhai's mother looked at each other, and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Is there anything else besides the reward?

The two followed Jingyue to the big tree outside the kitchen.

The tree is tall and majestic, and its crown is like an umbrella, casting a thick shade for the people below.

It was early summer now, and although the sun was scorching, it was cool under the shade of the trees.

The sunlight shines through the gaps and shines on the ground in patches. The breeze blows, bringing with it the rustling sound of leaves rubbing against each other.

In the open space outside the kitchen, a field of grains was drying in the sun. Occasionally, a few sparrows would fly over to peck at the food, but they would be driven away by the servants guarding nearby.

Jingyue stopped, turned around and asked Yunchu: "I want to arrange for you to live in the eldest lady's courtyard, what do you think?"

Yun Chu was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable. After the Ding You incident, the position of the first lady was vacant, and naturally someone else was needed to take it.

But she couldn't understand why it was her. The eldest lady had many little maids who wanted to get promoted.

Although he was puzzled, he did not show it on his face: "It is my blessing to be able to work for Madam. I am willing to do so. I just don't understand why I was chosen."

Jingyue smiled and looked at Mother Zhai beside her.

"Mother Zhai, what do you think?"

Mother Zhai thought for a moment and said: "Although Yunchu is just an ordinary handy girl like me, she is prudent and calm. She was not moved by Xiaocui's money temptation and stayed firm in her heart. It can be seen that she is a good person.

If she can work for the Madam, it will be her good fortune."

Yun Chu has an empty mind, does things cautiously, is not surprised by fame or disgrace, and is unmoved by money.

Are these good qualities really about her? Why doesn't she realize it?

Seeing Yunchu’s expressionless face, Jingyue thought she was shy: “See, Mother Zhai thinks you’re great. Finish your work today and come to see me at the Madam’s tomorrow morning.”

Only after seeing Yun Chu nod did she complete the second purpose of this trip.

After Jingyue left, Mother Zhai patted Yunchu's shoulder with relief and said, "From tomorrow on, you will be the maid of the eldest lady. If others want to bully you, they will have to see if they can bear the consequences.

The Madam wants a maid like you, because you have advantages that others don't have. You should think about the consequences of your actions in the future and don't cause trouble for the Madam."

Mother Zhai talked a lot. Although they didn't spend much time together, she still had a good impression of Yun Chu.

Yun Chu didn't say anything, but nodded obediently and listened to Mother Zhai's instructions.

Maybe it was because of her age, or maybe she didn't have anyone to nag about this, so by the time she finished talking, it was already past three o'clock.

The time limit for her second task is between 3pm and 5pm.

The second task is to let the servants of the Lin Mansion drink mung bean soup. This is not very difficult. In today's weather, no one should refuse a bowl of cold mung bean soup.

With the previous experience of delivering mung bean soup to the masters, Yun Chu prepared two large buckets. The first target was the servants in Master Lin's yard.

On the other side, Shui Lian ran back to her room in shame after losing face in public.

Her room was shared with other maids, but it was not rest time so none of them came back.

Shui Lian wiped the tears from her face, staring at the ground with red eyes, her fingers tightly clasped the edge of the bed, leaving nail marks on the wood.

"She's just a maid, and she only knows how to bully me. I can do that if you ask me to deliver mung bean soup. Why can Yunchu, that bitch, get the reward while I don't?"

Shui Lian angrily threw the quilt onto the bed to vent her anger.

Yunchu, that bitch! She clearly gave it to me on her own initiative, but I ended up snatching it away from her. If you don’t want to give it to me, then don’t give it to me. Who cares?

At this moment, there was a sudden burst of laughter and noise outside.

Shui Lian frowned and blocked her ears in annoyance, not wanting to listen. They must be laughing at her.

Laugh at her stupidity, laugh at her greed!

However, the faint words such as "reward" and "silver" caught her attention.

After hesitating for a while, Shui Lian opened the door and walked out.

Outside the courtyard, several maids and servants were gathered together, laughing very happily.

Seeing Shui Lian suddenly coming over, everyone fell silent and no one spoke.

"What are you talking about? What silver, what reward?"

Shui Lian couldn't help but ask first, but these maids and servants obviously didn't like her and snorted coldly and ignored her.

Shui Lian gritted her teeth and grabbed one of the maids closest to her.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

The maid broke away from Shuilian's hand and rolled her eyes. "It's no use telling you. Sister Jingyue came here to share the money with us. Yunchu performed well and received a reward from the master, but she was thinking about everyone in our kitchen and took the initiative to share the money with us.

Sister Jingyue said that each of us will get one tael of silver, and Yunchu will get two taels of silver."

One tael of silver!

Shui Lian was immediately excited, and even her previous anger disappeared instantly.

"Are you serious? One tael of silver per person?!"

The maid looked at Shui Lian with disdain: "It is one tael of silver, yes, but what does this have to do with you?"

Shui Lian was stunned: "Didn't you say one tael of silver per person?"

Seeing that Shuilian still didn't understand, the maid was very impatient: "It's one tael of silver per person, but it has nothing to do with you! Sister Jingyue said that you made a mistake and bullied others, so the one tael of silver that belongs to you should be given to Yunchu."

what? !

Shui Lian's mind exploded with a bang.

"Why! Wasn't it a reward from the master? Why should I give my share to Yun Chu?"

She had clearly been taught a lesson, Jingyue even slapped her in the face, wasn't that enough? Why should she give the silver that belonged to her to Yun Chu!

Shui Lian's face was distorted and she was filled with anger.

"Why don't you understand? You bullied Yunchu, so you have to compensate her. Besides, it is Yunchu's credit that we can get this reward. This tael of silver was not yours in the first place!"

"Let's go and ignore her."

After saying that, the maid hugged her friend's arm and left the place, leaving Shuilian standing there alone.

Shui Lian's face was as gloomy as water, and her eyes were flickering with jealousy and anger.

She clenched her fists and turned to walk into the room.
