Chapter 23 Garden Master
It was an hour later when the room was finally tidied up.

Gu Jinhe and Zhou Yue sat back to back on the floor, both letting out a sigh of relief.

Looking at the room, which was spotless, the two felt a sense of accomplishment.

After resting for a while, Zhou Yue got up, dusted herself off, and said, "I'll take you to the owner of the garden to get bedding and pillows."

"it is good!"

Gu Jinhe stood up, glanced at her clothes, and as if suddenly remembering something, asked, "By the way, Senior Sister, do we also get the servant disciple's uniform from the head of the academy?"

"The head of the garden only needs to handle matters concerning Tingyu Garden. As for the clothes, you should ask Elder Chen." She added, "You can also ask Senior Brother Wan Qi; he is Elder Chen's closest disciple."

Gu Jinhe nodded earnestly, keeping every word Zhou Yue said in mind.

Tingyu Garden has thousands of female disciples, all managed by the Garden Master. It is said that the person who can become the Garden Master must be the one who excels in all aspects among the miscellaneous disciples.

The owner of Tingyu Garden is now in her fifties, but time has not left a trace on her.

She was stern and somewhat authoritative, scrutinizing Gu Jinhe from head to toe. Before they could speak, she asked Zhou Yue, "Is she new here?"

Seeing the two nod hastily, she leaned against the door, yawned, and said, "Wait here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned and walked into the house. A short while later, she came out carrying two cotton quilts tied with cotton rope and a pillow.

She carried the baby to Gu Jinhe, and after Gu Jinhe took the baby, she said to Zhou Yue, "You'll take her with you to finish tomorrow's work, is that alright?"

This was both letting her lead the group and assigning her an assistant.

Thinking about the work she would be doing tomorrow, Zhou Yue's eyes lit up, and she said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister Wei, I will definitely take good care of her."

Zhou Yue's address of "Senior Sister Wei" revealed two pieces of information to Gu Jinhe: first, the master of the garden was surnamed Wei; and second, she preferred to be called "Senior Sister" by the servant disciples.

It seems like someone who likes this position but doesn't want to become too distant from everyone!

Thinking it over, Gu Jinhe replied, "Thank you, Senior Sister Wei."

Wei Jiao nodded in satisfaction and waved her hand, saying, "Alright, it's getting late, go back and rest early!" "Yes."

After they finished speaking in unison, they walked back the way they came.

Watching Gu Jinhe's departing figure, Wei Jiao lowered her eyes, hiding her thoughts.

She's a smart kid, but I wonder how long she can last in the chores...

Zhou Yue's room is number 3400. Although it is in the same direction as Gu Jinhe's room, they are still some distance apart.

So the two of them reached a fork in the road and had to part ways.

Before leaving, Zhou Yue specifically instructed, "The servants' quarters do not provide food and lodging for disciples, so you have to earn food and room access by working. I will come to find you tomorrow morning and teach you how to do it."

"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Knowing that Zhou Yue was thinking of her, Gu Jinhe did not show the slightest impatience.

Seeing Gu Jinhe hugging the blanket like a little turtle, Zhou Yue couldn't help but laugh out loud. She quickly stopped laughing and waved her hand, saying, "Okay, let's go back to the room!"

After returning to her room, Gu Jinhe carried the quilt to the bed, but when she unfolded the quilt, she found a brand new set of brown servant's robes.

Could it have been prepared by Senior Sister Wei?
Gu Jinhe was filled with doubt.

Didn't they say she wasn't responsible for the servant disciples' uniforms?
She hesitated for a while, checked it several times, and only after confirming that there were no problems did she decide to wear this outfit tomorrow.

After all, she hadn't brought any other clothes, and the clothes she was wearing were indeed no longer wearable.

not to mention……

Gu Jinhe neatly folded the clothes and placed them on the bedside table, thinking: These clothes are hers now that they've been given to her, so why can't she wear them!
　I got off work a little late today, so I'll stop here for now. I was supposed to have a day off tomorrow, but my boss told me to come back to work tomorrow and have a day off on Monday.

　　Sigh, I'll try to slack off at work and write more tomorrow. If all else fails, I'll add more over the weekend. Wish me luck!
　　Thank you to everyone who has been diligently following the updates!
