The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 12 Jewelry for third-class people and first-class people
Qiao Jiuxiu nodded to Qiao Shaotang, but she still didn't take the hairpin, she blushed so much, it was her brother, but she was extremely embarrassed.Qiao Shaotang didn't care so much, he directly stuffed the hairpin into Qiao Jiuxiu's hands, and then ran away all the way.

At the end, I only said one sentence, "I hope to see how you wear it tomorrow."

Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her head slightly, and looked at the hairpin in her hand. It was a silver hairpin with plum blossoms engraved on it. The style was very simple, but it looked generous, probably not cheap.Sighing slightly, she put away the hairpin, how could she wear such a hairpin?

Now she wants to walk on thin ice and live a low-key life, so she doesn't want to be the focus of others.But once she wears the hairpin, it will attract the attention of many people, and maybe there will be a sister who will be jealous of her getting close to the young master, and it will be her who will suffer.So this hairpin can only be hidden by snow.

Pushing the door open, Jinxiu was already sitting on the recliner, as if waiting for her for some time.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu enter the room, Jinxiu hurriedly stuffed the thermos into her arms, then took off the heavy coat, and went to clean up the charcoal fire in the room, the room became warmer.

"Miss, you have been wandering around for a long time today." Qiao Jiuxiu would occasionally go out for a stroll at night, but usually she would come back after a while, but this time she actually wandered around for an entire hour. She was a little worried and went to find a place nearby circle, but found nothing.

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled, but didn't answer Jinxiu's words, let's not tell this girl what happened tonight.Otherwise, she will gossip about herself again later.But it seems that the sky always does not let her wish.

"Miss, tell me the truth, where did you go just now?" Jinxiu suddenly found the hairpin in her coat, held the hairpin in her hand, and looked at Qiao Jiuxiu with a teasing look, asking her to tell the truth.Qiao Jiuxiu's face burned even more, snatched the hairpin, and said in a mosquito-like voice, "Yes, it was given to me by my elder brother."

"Eldest Young Master?" Jin Xiu's eyes widened, and she wanted to snatch the hairpin away again, but Qiao Jiuxiu found out that she had failed, so she could only say bitterly, "Eldest Young Master really cares about Miss, even she knows that she likes plum blossoms the most."

Does he know that plum blossoms are his favorite?Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't think of an answer to this question, but just put the hairpin into the jewelry box.

"Jinxiu, you go to sleep first, I suddenly thought of a good pattern." Qiao Jiuxiu remembered that she promised to make a belt for Lin Zhiyi, in order not to affect the progress of the elder sister's clothes, she had to work overtime now.Jinxiu nodded, told her not to do it too late, and then went back to bed.Qiao Jiuxiu simply drew a few patterns, thinking of the white tiger statue and auspicious cloud totem that he had seen in modern times before, it must be very good if they are combined together.

After drawing the sketches, I went to bed.She didn't sleep well that night, and she always dreamed that she was still chatting with Qiao Shaotang and Lin Zhiyi, but this time she was the one who kept talking. She told them all kinds of experiences in modern society, and the eyes of the two men widened , an unbelievable look.

There was a pleasant smile on the corner of her mouth, she hadn't smiled like this for a long time, and then fell into a deep sleep.

"Miss, miss, get up quickly." Jinxiu's voice sounded again, "Miss, just now Mei Xiang came to tell us that the fabric has arrived, let the lady get up and go to choose the fabric, and then you can hurry up and make clothes for the young lady gone."

"Okay, I'll get up right away." Upon hearing that the fabrics arrived, Qiao Jiuxiu also regained her spirits, and hurriedly asked Jinxiu to dress herself up, while she took out the blueprints, thinking about what color fabrics to get later.

"It's just that Yuanxiu seems to have always liked relatively simple, casual but dignified clothes. The color is mostly plain..." Those words Qiao Shaotang said yesterday resurfaced in her mind again, Qiao Jiuxiuyang She raised the corner of her mouth, let's just listen to him this time.But she saw Jinxiu wearing a silver plum hairpin on herself.

"Jinxiu, this hairpin..." Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to take off the plum blossoms, but Jinxiu refused, "The plum blossoms are so beautiful, I have to say that the young master really knows how to pick things."

Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to insist at first, but thinking of Qiao Shaotang saying last night that she wanted to see herself wearing this hairpin, she shook her head slightly, that's all, let's put it on, it shouldn't be a big deal once in a while.

So he left the plum blossom hairpin on his head, put on a thick leather jacket, and brought Jinxiu to the main hall of the inner courtyard.Because of the delay before, almost all the sisters arrived. After greeting them, Qiao Jiuxiu began to seriously look at the fabrics on the table.

The eldest sister is going to enter the palace as a noble concubine, so all the fabrics are of high quality, comfortable and soft to the touch, and bright in color.

The young ladies of the Qiao family behaved according to their seniority, and waited for their wives to come. For some reason, Qiao Liuxiu restrained herself a lot today. Instead of being with her wives, she obediently sat in her seat, with her eyes on Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes. The body stopped for a long time.

A few days ago, when she was packing the clothes for the young master, she found the silver hairpin. At that time, Qiao Shaotang said it was for a woman.Qiao Liuxiu originally thought that since the hairpin was chosen by the young master, it must be given to the daughter of a wealthy family, but she did not expect to give it to the younger sister who had the least presence in Qiao's mansion. Wearing the hairpin on her was an insult to that family. bouquet of plum blossoms.

Qiao Jiuxiu also felt Qiao Liuxiu's gaze. For some reason, she looked into her eyes as if she was about to breathe fire. She must have done nothing wrong.I can only lower my head, she can't be provoked, so I can always hide.

"Jiumei's hairpin is really beautiful." Qiao Shanxiu, who was sitting beside her, also found the plum blossom hairpin, but her praise was sincere.Her status in Qiao's mansion was similar to that of Qiao Jiuxiu, and the two of them usually walked relatively close, seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu had good jewelry, so she praised her.

"Really? I still think it's a bit simple, and I'm afraid it won't make it to the stage." Qiao Jiuxiu knew that the gift from the young master must be top-notch, but if she didn't say that, she would definitely cause more trouble. After all, such a Hairpins were not something her monthly payment could afford.

"My sister is wrong to say that." Qiao Shanxiu has always been very researched on jewelry, so she analyzed it to Qiao Jiuxiu, "Although the workmanship of this hairpin is simple, it only took seven knives to carve this plum blossom, and the strength and angle of each knives They are all just right, without any hesitation or hesitation, at a glance, you can tell that it is from the master's handwriting, and the color of this silver jewelry is also very pure, it is definitely first-class."

"Third-class people are first-class jewelry." Qiao Liuxiu on the side said coldly, but this sentence was a bit sour.Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at her. She had always disliked Qiao Jiuxiu, relying on the support of her wife, she pretended to be a tiger, and spoke without showing any affection at all.

"I just want to know, how does she have the money to buy such a thing? Could it be that she is taking advantage of making clothes for the elder sister, and getting some benefits?" Qiao Wuxiu also chimed in, Qiao Liuxiu was very fond of his wife, and she stammered. , and there's nothing wrong with that.

Moreover, the wife doesn't like Qiao Jiuxiu, everyone knows this.

"What are you talking about? This place is so lively." The wife arrived, but just came in, and the whole lobby fell silent.

"We were discussing what color fabric to use just now." Although Qiao Jiuxiu didn't want to be a bird, she didn't want to continue the topic just now, so she changed the topic to the color of the fabric.The wife laughed softly. Although she came in just now, she could hear what they were talking about just now.He raised his eyes and looked at the hairpin on Qiao Jiuxiu's head, it was really top-notch, I really don't know who has such a big hand.

She doesn't want to pay attention to this matter for the time being, the most urgent task at present is to dress up Yuan Xiu beautifully and enter the palace.

"Jiu girl, since you are making clothes, it's up to you to choose the fabric first."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, walked carefully to the table, selected a few pieces of plain fabric, and then matched it with leftovers of various colors.

Suddenly, she saw a piece of navy blue fabric, very soft to the touch and just the right color, perfect for accessories and belts.belt?She suddenly remembered that she still owed Lin Zhiyi a belt, if it could be made of cloth, it would be perfect.

It's just that the wife has made repeated orders. If they find out that they are using the opportunity of making clothes for the eldest sister to solicit private work, the consequences will be very serious.

She hesitated for a while, but chose the navy blue cloth.

Since she agreed to make a belt for Lin Zhiyi, she had to make the best belt.She, Qiao Jiuxiu, either doesn't do it, or if she does, she must do her best.

"Will this color be too dark?" The sisters had already selected the cloth to be used. Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu walked together. She wanted to ask this question when she saw Qiao Jiuxiu choose the cloth, but when He didn't dare to ask in front of his wife, and finally found an opportunity, and now he can finally speak.

"No way." Qiao Jiuxiu hesitated and said, and subconsciously hid the navy blue cloth, as if she didn't want others to see the cloth.

"Who knows, if it's not done well, it will cause big trouble." Qiao Liuxiu walked by the two with a pink horse and a natural white horse. She disliked her younger sister more and more. up.

"I won't bother my sister to worry about this matter." Although Qiao Jiuxiu scolded Qiao Liuxiu in her heart, she still had a smile on her surface, and sent her away respectfully.

She hates herself like this, living like a mask all day long, when can she really be herself?
