The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 13 The Curse of the Navy Belt

Qiao Jiuxiu returned to her room, put down the cloth, spread out the navy blue cloth, and started cutting.Eldest sister's clothes are a huge project, so it's better to finish cousin Lin Zhiyi's belt first, so that I can concentrate on making clothes for eldest sister in the future.

Qiao Jiuxiu's craftsmanship is really good, and practice makes perfect. After a while, the prototype of the kung fu belt was completed, and she began to embroider patterns on it. She took out the drafts she had drawn before, and embroidered them according to the totems of the white tiger and auspicious clouds on it. I am very confident in my embroidery work. One day, this belt can be finished, but I must tell Lin Zhiyi not to wear it when I am in the mansion. will get in trouble.

"Miss, have you started work?" Jinxiu put the meal on the table and saw Qiao Jiuxiu embroidering patterns on the belt, she gave her young lady a strange look, "Miss, you help the young lady make clothes, don't you?" Do you think it’s too dark to use navy blue? And wouldn’t it be inappropriate to embroider tigers on it? I’m afraid it would be more appropriate to embroider plum blossoms and peonies.”

"What are you talking about. This is embroidered for men. How could it be possible to embroider peonies and plum blossoms?" Qiao Jiuxiu thought it was funny when she thought of plum blossoms and peonies appearing on Lin Zhiyi's belt. If she really embroidered like this, Lin Zhiyi would probably also I dare not wear it.

"A man?" Jinxiu grasped the point of this sentence, and stared at Qiao Jiuxiu with wide eyes, "Miss, how can there be a man? Who are you making a belt for? Is it the young master? He gave you a hairpin yesterday , reciprocate, you should give him a belt."

"No, it's Cousin Zhiyi, he asked me for a belt last night, and the eldest young master was there at the time, and he promised it for me. Since I promised others, I must do it, so I'm making the belt now " Qiao Jiuxiu continued to work while explaining, she didn't have much time now, she had to finish the belt quickly, and then she could concentrate on making clothes.

"Master Biao?" Jinxiu seemed to be in a good mood, and continued to tease Qiao Jiuxiu, "No wonder Miss didn't go to see Master Biao before, so I knew he would come here to ask Miss, Miss is really amazing."

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't bother to talk to Jinxiu, so she just told her that she was going to be late again tonight, and asked her to prepare the candles for lighting and go to rest.Although Jinxiu really wanted to help, she was not very good at embroidery.Qiao Jiuxiu also comforted her, as long as she has the heart.

After working behind closed doors for two days, the belt was finally finished.Qiao Jiuxiu was thinking about how to send it to Lin Zhiyi, when she was thinking, Mei Xiang broke in suddenly, grabbed the already made belt and pulled Qiao Jiuxiu, and went up to the main hall.

Qiao Jiuxiu tried her best to resist and struggle, she wanted to know what happened and where Mei Xiang took her.

The elder sisters and younger sisters in the main hall have all arrived, and even the wife is sitting on a chair waiting for her. The wife's expression is very serious, as if something big is going on.Qiao Jiuxiu frowned, she had a bad premonition.

What are they trying to find themselves here with such great fanfare?Even Qiao Shaotang and Lin Zhiyi have arrived, could something serious happen?Both Lin Zhiyi and Qiao Shaotang looked at Qiao Jiuxiu worriedly, as if they were very worried.

Mei Xiang handed the belt to the wife, the wife only took one look, and was furious, this is a man's belt, she actually used the fabric she specially prepared for Yuan Xiu to do such a thing.She has clearly said over and over again that she can't do private work, so why can't she listen?

She used to think that Qiao Jiuxiu was very knowledgeable about current affairs, much better than her mother, but looking at it today, it was clear that they were the same kind.

When Lin Zhiyi saw the navy blue belt, he didn't know why the worry in his heart magnified. He didn't plan to come over today, but Qiao Shaotang said that his aunt was very angry and said that he would take good care of Jiumei. coming.

"Tell me, which man did you make the belt for!" the wife asked without anger.Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her head, she couldn't say Lin Zhiyi's name.She knew that if she didn't speak up, she would be reprimanded or beaten at most.But once Lin Zhiyi's name is revealed, not to mention that the sisters and sisters will exclude him, even his wife will be very dissatisfied with him, thinking that she is the kind of woman who wants to climb up when she finds an opportunity.

belt?Lin Zhiyi was startled, could it be that his somewhat excessive demands brought Qiao Jiuxiu this innocent disaster?If so, he would be too sorry for his sister.So she stood up quickly, wanting to help Qiao Jiuxiu, saying that the belt was for herself.

Qiao Jiuxiu looked in Lin Zhiyi's direction and shook her head, telling him not to interfere in this matter.The wife also seemed to realize that Lin Zhiyi and Qiao Shaotang didn't know why the time had come, thinking that she was punishing Qiao Jiuxiu now, it was indeed very inconvenient for the two of them to be here, so she said something and hoped that they could leave first.Although Lin Zhiyi was worried about Qiao Jiuxiu, but he couldn't hold back his wife, so he could only leave first.

As soon as Lin Zhiyi left, Qiao Jiuxiu heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that he was about to be severely beaten by his wife. In front of Lin Zhiyi, I was really embarrassed to let him see her in such a mess, but the belt was already made Well, I have no regrets.

It's just that you can't hurt your hands when you are about to be beaten, or you will delay making clothes for the eldest sister, which is the most serious consequence.Once she misses this opportunity, she doesn't know when she will be able to stand up next time.

She didn't want to live the life she used to be bullied without any sense of existence.

"Tell me, who are you making clothes for?" The wife threw the belt at Qiao Jiuxiu's feet, "I hope you remember that your most important task now is to help Yuanxiu make clothes, if you delay the progress because of these things, You know what the consequences will be. As for the fabric used for this belt, it will be buckled from your monthly payment. Today I will only give you a small lesson. If there is another time, I will make you look better."

After the wife finished speaking, she walked away with strides.The maidservants who followed her held Qiao Jiuxiu down and beat her with a stick, but the attack was not serious, probably because they thought she still had to make clothes, so they showed mercy and avoided her. opened her hand.

These maids who work around their wives are very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Although they were merciful, Qiao Jiuxiu could feel better after a beating.The maids retreated after finishing the beating, none of the sisters present wanted to help Qiao Jiuxiu up, and in the end it was Jinxiu who was guarding outside who helped Qiao Jiuxiu up, and walked slowly to her room.

This is truly a disaster.

"Miss, why didn't you say that Young Master Lin wanted this thing? Then Madam won't beat you." Jinxiu was about to cry, Qiao Jiuxiu's health was not very good, and she still survived when she fell into the water three years ago. With the root cause of the disease, she didn't know if there would be any after-effects after the beating continued, anyway, she was terribly worried.

"Jinxiu, you can send this belt to Cousin Zhiyi later, don't tell him about my beating, just tell him that my mother told me to concentrate on preparing the big sister's clothes, and retreat for a while." Qiao Jiuxiu handed the belt to Jinxiu, and told him .Jinxiu nodded, she felt sorry for her young lady, she was obviously injured and no one else should know, and she had to rush to make clothes, if she was good at sewing, at least I could help her share it.

"Miss, I gave the belt to Master Biao, and I told Master Biao what I said, but he didn't seem very happy. Master Lin said that he would come to you specially later today, and that Miss was beaten. Young Master Lin has already heard about it." Jinxiu came back from Lin Zhiyi and told Qiao Jiuxiu about the situation.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, he still knew he was beaten.

In fact, Lin Zhiyi doesn't need to feel too embarrassed about this matter, after all, she decided to use the fabric prepared for the eldest sister without authorization, otherwise such a disaster would not have happened.So in the end it wasn't Lin Zhiyi's fault, it was her fault.But with her current appearance, how could it be convenient for her to meet people?
She could only let Jinxiu tell Lin Zhiyi that it was really inconvenient for her to meet people, so Jinxiu nodded and left first.

"Miss, the eldest lady is here and said she has something to tell you." Jinxiu had just left the door when she suddenly came back.Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange, why did the eldest sister come here?He could only force himself to stand up and prepare to meet the elder sister.

Qiao Yuanxiu came in wearing a plain dress, without the pampered aristocratic air. Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu was a little unsteady, she quickly helped her up, "My sister is not feeling well, let's sit down quickly."

Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at Qiao Yuanxiu anxiously, what was she doing here?Her heart was hanging in the air, very disturbed.I was afraid that if I said something wrong, I would offend my eldest sister.

"Sister, don't be so nervous. I heard that my sister made all the clothes this time. I'm really sorry to bother my sister." Qiao Yuanxiu also sat down, looking like a lady from everyone. "It's just that I'm somewhat picky, so I want to come over and see if I like these patterns or not. If I make any bad comments later, please don't take it too seriously, my sister."

Hearing what Qiao Yuanxiu said, Qiao Jiuxiu was relieved, nodded slightly, took out the drawings and fabrics, and explained to Qiao Yuanxiu, Qiao Yuanxiu listened very seriously, with a smile on his face, he must like Qiao Jiuxiu's design We have to hurry up.

After Qiao Jiuxiu told Qiao Yuanxiu about the clothing design, she had no intention of leaving.Put a small bottle of medicine on the table, "This is a medicine specially used to treat trauma, and it works very well. Like ordinary injuries, it will be healed in three to five days."
