The Red Mansion Big Liar.

Chapter 394: Repairs can still be used

Although it is original clothes, one less piece will appear if one is torn.

But it was his first time after all, so he couldn't help but be quite interested.

Besides, there is less than a year left before the three-year period for the imperial merchant review, even if Mrs. Wang still does not take any action.

It wouldn’t take too long for the Xue family to come and ask for help.

Because of this, he specially called Jin Chuan to Linshui Pavilion to conceal his whereabouts so that he could do whatever he wanted.

After all, Qingwen and Liu Wu'er were in his room. Zhang Yunyi couldn't save face in front of them and was embarrassed to reveal his true nature.

As for Jinchuan, she is not afraid of the itch when she has too many lice, and she is not worried about the debts when she has too many debts.

She was basically aware of all of Zhang Yunyi's dirty deeds, so there was no need to put on a sanctimonious appearance or establish a personal image in front of her.

Of course, adhering to the principle of slow and steady progress, we still have to try to tear them as economically as possible to avoid wasting them too quickly, which will cause a lack of supply in the future.

However, Jin Chuan didn't know what he was thinking.

As a maid, Jin Chuan was saved from the brink of life and death by Zhang Yunyi. She had no dissatisfaction at all about being used as a substitute. On the contrary, Zhang Yunyi's selective behavior made her feel the pleasure of revenge and gained both physical and psychological satisfaction.

The only flaw is that, whether it is Lin Daiyu or Xue Baochai, although they hold a high position in Jia Baoyu's heart, they are not Bao's second wife after all.

It can only make Jia Baoyu feel the bitterness of loss, but not the disgust of having someone shit on his head.

However, even so, it was enough to make her overjoyed.

It is a foregone conclusion that Shi Xiangyun will be a concubine, and Lin Daiyu is obviously distant. The only ambiguous person is Xue Baochai, and Zhang Yunyi does not hide his inner covetousness.

Jin Chuan felt extremely happy just thinking about having Jia Baoyu watch his sisters leave him one by one.

Therefore, when Zhang Yunyi was interested, she was very happy to cooperate.

However, after all, it is just a substitute, and the props used to create atmosphere will be used less and less.

Last night, before returning from Linshuizhixuan, she secretly put away the tattered clothes that were torn into pieces.

After helping Xiangling to wash and dress in the morning, she found an excuse, packed up her torn clothes, and went to Dengxian Pavilion with the package.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Liu Wu'er went out to visit her mother, he dragged Qingwen to the storage room downstairs, unfolded the torn clothes in the bag and said, "Help me take a look, can this be repaired?"

Although she was able to repair it with her needlework skills, it was inevitable that traces would be left, so she had no choice but to ask Qingwen for help.

Qingwen glanced at the rag in Jinchuan's hand and sneered, "There are so many good materials at home. It's worth mending it, even if it's not broken and thrown away, let alone like this?"

"I'm used to wearing it!" Jin Chuan said with a smile.

Qingwen smiled contemptuously and said with a sneer, "Are you used to wearing it? Why do you look so strange to me?"

It's so torn, it's obvious that it's not worn out.

Zhang Yunyi had the habit of tearing clothes every day, and even asked her to use gauze to make a number of thigh-high socks and distribute them.

At this moment, the reason why Jinchuan was being repaired was obvious.

However, she was a little confused. She had just taken a quick look at the dress and found it to be just an ordinary style, not the novel style that the old man liked. She couldn't understand why Jin Chuan regarded it as a treasure.

Seeing her questioning, Jin Chuan had no choice but to say, "These are from the past. I haven't worn them for some years."

Although she asked Qingwen to fix it, it was also to satisfy Master Yi, which was considered official business, and there was nothing wrong with it, but trust was mutual. Last night, Master Yi's words and deeds undoubtedly confirmed some of her guesses.

Judge others by yourself. If you can play the role of Baochai, can you stop others from playing Daiyu?
With this idea in mind, when I looked at Qingwen and Liu Wu'er again, I suddenly had another understanding.

Qingwen and Liu Wu'er not only look somewhat similar to Lin Daiyu, but their personalities and behaviors are also vaguely similar.

One is sour and sour, the other is weak and frail, put together, isn't it...

In other words, Jin Chuan didn’t know the word “low-profile”, otherwise, she wouldn’t have used ellipsis instead.

Qingwen sneered, "Don't try to deceive me with these words. Do you think I don't know? How can you dress like this? Master has his own ideas. There are plenty of old clothes at home. Why do you have to focus on tearing this one? It would be fine if you coaxed him, but you have to find me this time-consuming and laborious task. If you spend the time to mend this one, you can make two new ones!"

Jin Chuan said awkwardly, "Well... it's fine if this outer garment is not repaired, but the undergarments and underwear inside are not damaged much, can you help me take a look? You just came here that day and you were unfamiliar with the place. Although I didn't help much, I did kindly remind you after all."

The outer garments were fine, but there were only two sets of underwear, which could not withstand the consumption of Master Yi.

Seeing that Qingwen was unmoved and Jinchuan didn't want to reveal the origin of the clothes, she had to settle for the next best option.

On the one hand, they lowered their requirements, and on the other hand, they played the emotional card.

When Qingwen first entered the mansion, Jinchuan did tell her from her own experience that Qingwen was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

After hearing what she said, I saw that the damage to the underpants was not serious. Although there was a hole in the middle of the underpants and the ropes were broken, it was mainly the threads that were broken. At most, the joints were torn, which did not take much effort.

Then he said, "Forget it! Just leave it here first, I'll help you fix it when I have time!"

She thought for a moment and added, "However, I have some other things on hand, so I'm afraid this will be delayed for a few days."

Seeing that she had given in, Jin Chuan dared not ask for anything more. She said insincerely, "No hurry, no hurry!"

She has some money to make now, so she doesn't need to wait for this one.

However, I have put in so much effort this time, and I am afraid that next time, even if I feel comfortable asking for help, Qingwen may not be willing to help again.

If we want to solve the problem fundamentally, we may have to find a solution from Baochai.

These two sets of clothes have been given to her two years ago. Uncle Yi is still so interested in them. If he could find new ones, or even ones that haven't been washed yet, wouldn't it be better?
Thinking of this, my reluctance to leave this life has faded a lot.

He then said goodbye and went back to think about how to talk to Baochai without causing any trouble.

After Jin Chuan left, Qingwen stretched out two fingers, picked up the undergarments and pants, looked around carefully, but didn't see anything special.

In fact, it would take her less than an entire afternoon to finish this task.

However, she had no idea that the special thing about this dress was not its style, but the person who wore it.

Just when Zhang Yunyi was tired of the novel styles, he asked Jinchuan to look for the old styles to change his taste.

There is nothing special about the style, it is just slightly wider at the front and back.

So he thought of making another one based on the one Jinchuan sent him, and that's why he deliberately lied about the number of days.

However, she didn't expect that she would finally finish the work after working so hard and put on the outfit in the evening.

Not only did it fail to arouse Zhang Yunyi's interest, but it urged her to change her usual attire.
