The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 306 The Charm of Journalism
"Miss Lin! Miss Lin!"

In front of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, Jin Chuan pushed open the gate.

She had just shouted twice when Zijuan came out quickly and stopped her, saying, "Stop making noise. The girl is taking a nap and just fell asleep!"

"Then I'll go in and wait for a while!" Jin Chuan said, and then walked into the house.

Zijuan raised her hand to stop him and said, "I'm afraid Aunt Zhen is still waiting for you to go back. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"Ha!" Jin Chuan sneered, "Why? Master and Auntie didn't urge me, but you are anxious?"

"What are you talking about? How could I be anxious? I was just thinking that the young master is still young over there, and you are serving the aunt, so I was afraid that you would be delayed here!"

Although Zijuan kept saying that she was not anxious, she explained quickly and urgently.

"You don't have to worry about that! I came here today because of the instructions from the master and the aunt. Besides, there is Liu Wu'er serving in the house now, so it's not that there is no one to serve."

"Liu Wu'er?" Zijuan murmured to herself, then raised her head and said, "She is a sickly girl, luckily you are at ease with her!"

The big mansion is the place where most of the gossips happen. The news that Liu Wu'er entered the East Palace and that Sister Liu turned a disaster into a blessing and was demoted in public but promoted in private spread in the Rong Mansion within a few days.

However, that’s a story for later.

Moreover, for the girls in the Grand View Garden, except for a few who were sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, some were still slow to realize it.

After giving Wang Xifeng a not-so-pleasant birthday and taking care of Mrs. Liu's affairs, Zhang Yunyi found some time.

The next day, he instructed Jinchuan to pass a message to Yingchun and her servant.

Therefore, Zijuan had just heard about it at this time.

"Do you think there is no one in our house? My aunt has so many maids and wet nurses around her, how could she be in need of someone to take care of her?"

At this point, Jin Chuan paused for a moment, squinted her eyes and looked at Zi Juan and said, "Don't think I don't know what you are planning!"

"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense! What am I planning?"

Although Jinchuan did not reveal Zijuan's purpose, Zijuan seemed to have her tail bitten and hurriedly denied it three times.

"It's fine if you say this to others, but don't show off in front of me!"

Jin Chuan glanced at Zijuan and sneered, "My aunt has some poems to ask the young lady, and Master Zhen has some medical advice to give to the young lady. What's the matter? Sister Zijuan is going to destroy the bridge after crossing the river and not let me in?"

"You..." Zijuan was obviously short of breath. She took a deep breath and said indignantly, "Just talk about the matter. Stop talking about nonsense!"

"Haha!" Jin Chuan sneered, "What did I say? Wasn't what I said true? Or do you think what I said bothered you?"

She spoke like a machine gun, and every sentence hit the nail on the head, leaving Zijuan speechless and her face flushed red.

Jin Chuan was not willing to give in and continued, "You said you had no plans, but now you're showing your true colors?"

Even though Zijuan was speechless after being rebuked by her, it was not unfair to say that she was talking nonsense.

Because of Zhang Yunyi's instructions, and because she wanted to make trouble for Jia Baoyu, Jin Chuan would come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion whenever she got the chance, and give a personal speech in front of Lin Daiyu.

Today, I received instructions from Zhang Yunyi to deliver a message to Yingchun and her servant, and then I took the time to come to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Originally, Zijuan thought that she was just upset and looking for someone to talk to, but gradually she realized that something was wrong.

In particular, Jia Baoyu was severely beaten by Jia Zheng some time ago. Lin Daiyu only visited him once symbolically with her sisters and never visited him alone again.

Even when he saw Baochai coming out of Yihong Courtyard, looking a little listless, he joked, "Sister, take care of yourself. Even if you cry out two buckets of tears, it won't heal the wound."

She didn't know that Lin Daiyu was deliberately avoiding suspicion because she was reminded by Zhang Yunyi when she was tricked by Jia Baoyu to watch the West Chamber. She just thought it was all because of Jin Chuan's influence. However, Lin Daiyu took on the task of teaching Xiangling poetry, and Zhen Shiyin was still helping her to recuperate.

With these two gold medals, she had no excuse to stop it.

Just when he was feeling a little embarrassed, Lin Daiyu in the room seemed to have heard some noise and asked, "Is it Jin Chuan who came? Why didn't she come in to talk?"

Zijuan then took advantage of the situation and let Jinchuan into the house.

Hearing Lin Daiyu's voice, Jin Chuan stopped mocking Zijuan, held her head high and walked into the house.

"Master Zhen said that Gu Nian is weak and shouldn't sleep after a meal. He should take a walk to digest the food. Why is he sleeping now?"

Zijuan said that Lin Daiyu was taking a nap, which was not false.

"Well! I'm a little tired today, and I forgot Mr. Zhen's instructions."

While Lin Daiyu explained, she took a piece of gauze and put it on.

"Miss, you must not be careless about this matter. Now that my aunt has Liu Wuer by her side, I have a lot more free time. I can come here more often in the future."

Hearing that she wanted to come over often, Zijuan frowned slightly, and without waiting for Lin Daiyu to speak, she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Why did Liu Wuer go to Aunt Zhen's room?"

Jin Chuan surprisingly did not argue with her, but smiled and said, "Didn't the master hear about the small kitchen a while ago, and was worried that the girl wouldn't have enough food, so he removed Liu Wu'er's mother's job and subsidized the expenses of the small kitchen?
Unfortunately, the news reached the ears of the old lady and the mistress, and not only did they say that she would no longer be employed in the mansion, but Wu'er was also implicated. She took Wu'er to the mansion and cried and complained that she had not done it on purpose that day, but was just thinking about Wu'er's job and was a little careless.

The master was kindhearted to begin with, and seeing that Wu'er was weak, he was afraid that her family would lose hope and delay Wu'er's treatment, so he temporarily left Wu'er with Aunt Zhen, and asked Master Zhen to help take care of her as well. "

As a modern person, Zhang Yun逸 understands the charm of journalism better than the ancients.

He taught Jin Chuan a set of words and spread them in the Grand View Garden.

After hearing this, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Yi is really thoughtful!"

"That's right!" Jin Chuan said, "Master has asked Master Zhen about the girl's health many times, and he also specifically told me to remind the girl not to be greedy for sweets such as candied fruits and cakes. If you are greedy, eat some fresh fruits, especially grapes. Eating some is very helpful in relieving cough."

As if her mouth was dry, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued, "I'm afraid the grapes from the farm will be delivered again in the next two days. The master even specifically ordered that the young lady prepare an extra portion than other courtyards!"

Lin Daiyu said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Yi. Please take me back to thank Brother Yi!"

She noticed that Jinchuan felt thirsty, so she turned to Zijuan who was standing there stupidly and said, "Go and pour me a cup of tea."

Upon hearing this, Jin Chuan turned around and gave Zijuan a slightly provocative look.

Zijuan pursed her lips and reluctantly turned to pour tea.

When she came back after pouring the tea, she saw Jin Chuan and Lin Daiyu having a very pleasant conversation.

"Don't worry, young lady. Although we will be staying at the hot spring manor outside the city in more than a month, Master Zhen will not go. If you are not feeling well, you can ask someone to invite you. Also, we have grapes on our manor in winter, and Master will send someone to deliver them to you when the time comes."

With the technology available at the time, it would be difficult for grapes to mature even with a greenhouse.

Fortunately, the hot spring villa has geothermal support. According to Zhang Cheng's estimation, the glass greenhouse combined with the geothermal heat of the hot spring can barely provide enough water.

Whether or not there are grapes is a small matter. If Jin Chuan continues to visit her from time to time and show her kindness, I'm afraid the girl's heart will fly away sooner or later.

I heard that in more than a month, Zhang Yun逸 and his family will go to Wenquan to stay temporarily.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; this was rare good news.
