"Why did you spend that much money? Ready-made clothes are so expensive. I have already made all the fabrics, so I made a new set of clothes for each of the four of us. Together with the two sets we had before, we have enough to wear." Lin Jinxiu couldn't help but speak.

Lin Chuyi placed several cups of sour plum soup on the empty plate. After hearing what Lin Jinxiu said, he put the plate back on the table.

She came to Lin Wuyou's original seat and sat down, waving to Lin Jinxiu to sit down as well.

Lin Jinxiu didn't understand, but she still sat back in her seat obediently, "What's wrong?"

"Guess how much money I made on this trip." Lin Chuyi approached Lin Jinxiu and spoke in a mysterious voice.

Lin Jinxiu thought for a moment and said uncertainly: "Ten taels?"

Lin Chuyi shook his head, gave her a hint, and waved his left hand in front of her.

"Fifty taels?"

Lin Chuyi still shook his head, "Guess upwards."

"Five...five hundred taels?" Lin Jinxiu said in disbelief.

Lin Chuyi blinked her eyes and did not deny it. In fact, every time she went to other counties or the provincial capital, she would sell some valuable things. There were already many silver bills and silver ingots stored in the warehouse, which amounted to at least several thousand taels.

But for Lin Jinxiu, five hundred taels was already a large sum. If it was more, she would suspect that the money came from illegal sources.

Seeing that Lin Chuyi did not deny it, Lin Jinxiu thought that she had guessed right. She covered her mouth in shock to prevent herself from screaming.

She leaned close to Lin Chuyi and asked in a low voice, "How did you do it?"

That's five hundred taels. Not to mention buying a few pieces of clothing, even buying all the clothes in the entire store would be no problem.

Compared with the five hundred taels, the money spent on buying clothes is just a small amount. Lin Jinxiu's focus is all on the five hundred taels.

She was really curious about how her second sister managed to earn five hundred taels in just over ten days.

"Sister, I can't tell you how I made this money yet. I don't want to lie to you. I can only tell you that I made this money using the skills my master taught me. Every penny is clean and honest. You can spend it with confidence."

Seeing that Lin Chuyi was unwilling to say more, Lin Jinxiu did not continue to ask, "Then you know the answer yourself, I won't ask any more questions."

"Our problem now is how to rationalize this money and spend it openly. I have been thinking about this issue before, and a trip to the capital gave me an idea."

"What idea?" Lin Jinxiu's curiosity was aroused again.

Lin Chuyi smiled and leaned close to Lin Jinxiu's ear and whispered something.

After hearing this, Lin Jinxiu turned to look at Lin Chuyi suspiciously, "Isn't this a lie? Is this okay?"

“Whether it’s true or not is up to us to decide. As long as we can get real benefits, who would care whether it’s fake or not? Leave it to me and you just wait and see.” Lin Chuyi’s face was full of confidence.

Lin Jinxiu didn't want to lie, but she didn't have any better ideas, so she thought about it and agreed.

"Okay then, I'll listen to you."

The two of them cleaned up the dining table and tableware and returned to the hall. Lin Wuyou and Lin Cheng had already changed into the clothes that Lin Chuyi brought back.

Seeing the two sisters coming over, Lin Wuyou walked up to them, spread out his hands and turned around to show them.

"Big sister, second sister, do you think I am good-looking?"

The clothes that Lin Wuyou was wearing were of a common style on the market, but the color of the clothes that Lin Chuyi had chosen was brighter, and there were a few colorful butterflies embroidered on it as decoration, making it look light, agile and lifelike.

When worn on Lin Wuyou, it adds a sense of liveliness and agility to her, giving people a refreshing feeling.

Lin Cheng's clothes were sky blue, a smaller version of a long robe with wide sleeves. Ancient scholars liked to dress like this, and one could tell at a glance that the other person was a scholar.

Without any achievements, one cannot wear high-end fabrics such as silk. Lin Chuyi chooses pure cotton fabrics for all clothes. Lin Cheng is going to school soon, so it is perfect for him to wear such clothes when he goes to the private school.

Lin Cheng was an introvert by nature, and wearing such a simple robe made him look a bit bookish.

At this time, Lin Cheng was standing next to Lin Wuyou, smiling shyly, and looking like he was asking for praise.

Lin Jinxiu's eyes lit up when she saw their outfits. She walked forward and touched the fabric on Lin Cheng's clothes, and curiously touched the butterfly on Lin Wuyou's clothes.

"It looks good. If I wear a beautiful bun, people will believe me if I say I'm a rich girl. My outfit looks good too. I look like a scholar."

Lin Jinxiu was generous with her praise, which made them smile with delight.

After receiving praise from the eldest sister, they turned their expectant gaze to Lin Chuyi again, and their purpose was self-evident.

Lin Chuyi was speechless when she saw their little eyes seeking for praise. It’s just a piece of clothing, is it that important?

Lin Chuyi complained in her heart but didn't show it on her face. She didn't intend to ruin the atmosphere and complimented them accordingly.

"Yes, big sister is right, the new clothes suit you very well and look very good."

After getting the answer he wanted, Lin Wuyou contentedly pulled Lin Cheng to change into another set of clothes.

Lin Chuyi also pulled Lin Jinxiu to the backpack, reached out and took the two sets of clothes from the box and handed them to her.

"Sister, you should try it too."

Lin Jinxiu looked at the empty gift box and asked in confusion, "Why is there only ours? Didn't you buy one for yourself?"

"Uh……"

Lin Chuyi really didn't notice this problem. Of course she had her own clothes, but they were all placed in the small space building.

"My clothes are all in the rented house. I can't wear anything too shabby when I go to the county town and the prefectural capital, so I bought myself a few sets of clothes. Sister, don't worry that I won't have new clothes to wear. I'll be back to rest for a few days before going out again, so it's too troublesome to bring them back, so I didn't bring any clothes back."

Lin Chuyi quickly gave an explanation.

"So that's how it is. I've already washed the clothes you left behind and put them in your room. The new clothes I made for you are also made according to the size of that clothes. Of course, the craftsmanship is definitely not as good as the clothes you bought. You can see if you like them when the time comes."

When talking about the second half, Lin Jinxiu felt a little embarrassed. Compared with the clothes bought by Lin Chuyi, the clothes made by her craftsmanship were really not presentable.

"it is good."

As soon as Lin Chu saw Lin Jinxiu's expression, she knew what she was thinking, but she didn't say much. She felt that no matter how much she said, it would not be as reliable as actual action.

She came to the backpack, reached her hand into it, pretending to look for something in it, but her consciousness actually sank into the space and she took out the "Basic Tailoring" and "Basic Embroidery" that she had memorized from the warehouse.
