The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 21

"Miss, Madam came to ask you about the progress of the clothes." Jinxiu almost trotted into the room, "What should I do, Miss, the matter of the gold thread will definitely be messed up. Madam will definitely blame you. Otherwise you Say I broke the gold thread."

Jinxiu now feels that she is the first two elders, and his wife doesn't like Miss Jiu in the first place, and Miss Jiu also hopes that she can change her attitude by making clothes for the eldest sister this time. All the gold thread has been taken away, and they don't have a clue yet.

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry." Qiao Jiuxiu tried her best to calm Jinxiu's emotions, "My silly girl, even if I have something to do, I can't say that you ruined my clothes. You don't want to be beaten out of the house by your wife."

"Then what should we do?" Jinxiu anxiously tugged on Qiao Jiuxiu's sleeve, almost tearing off her sleeve embroidered with twin pastel butterflies, "How about we run away?"

Qiao Jiuxiu slightly shrugged her shoulders and pulled Jinxiu to sit down, she was so anxious, not to mention whether they could go out, even if they could go out, what would they do with their livelihood after that, and wouldn't the wife send someone to find them back?It will be more troublesome to explain at that time.

She can't panic, she's not in a desperate situation yet, how does one say it?There must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and she must have a way to survive the desperate situation.

"Jinxiu, don't panic, I'm going to see my wife right now, you didn't sleep last night, go and rest first, I can handle this matter." Qiao Jiuxiu said to Jinxiu, Jinxiu shook her head, what happened How could she sleep on such a big matter?

"Miss, take Jinxiu with you." Jinxiu begged, "Even if my wife blames me, Jinxiu will stay with you. After all, Jinxiu didn't take good care of her clothes yesterday. If I keep guarding, no one can make trouble gone."

"Jinxiu, what are you talking about? How could this matter be your fault." Qiao Jiuxiu patted Jinxiu on the shoulder and said, "You didn't know there were so many people who came here yesterday, how could you I can take care of it."

etc.Too many people?Almost all the sisters brought their maids to celebrate their birthday yesterday, some of them sincerely celebrated their birthday, and some wanted to please her.She didn't think much about it before, but now that she thinks about it, maybe there is something wrong with it, but who should it be?
Pull out the gold thread from the clothes, so that there is no way to finish the clothes, and I can't explain to my wife at all. When my wife blames me, I'm afraid she won't even be allowed to stay in the mansion.And the elder sister doesn't have good-looking clothes, and she can't marry into the royal family in a grand manner.In this way, who will get the most benefit?
She tapped her forehead, damn it, she has no clue at all.

Forget it, I still have to think about how to deal with the current level, and what should my wife say when she asks about the progress.

While thinking, while changing clothes, the snow outside has stopped, and the weather is getting warmer.Qiao Jiuxiu took out a mink fur jacket and draped it over her shoulders. Underneath was a long aqua blue dress. After hesitating for a while, she took out the earrings given to her by the young master and put them on.She was afraid that this would be the last time she would wear the earrings.

Gold thread is a must, and she will find a way to go out of the house to buy gold thread, so these unnecessary jewelry can only be used as jewelry. Although she is very reluctant, she has no other choice.

Walking gracefully with lotus steps, she walked to the wife's room. The wife was sitting on the main seat, and when she saw Qiao Jiuxiu approaching, she nodded slightly, signaling to Ruyi at the side to pour Qiao Jiuxiu a glass of Yuqian Longjing, while she gently Taking a sip, "Jiu girl, I want to ask how your clothes are doing? Liu girl's inner clothes are already finished."

Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, trying not to look overly panicked, and slowly replied, "Mother, people rely on clothes, and Buddha needs gold clothes. Only slow work can produce delicate work. The clothes are almost finished, but there are still some problems that need to be solved." Thinking about it, but I believe it will be done soon.”

"Problem?" The wife raised her eyebrows and asked, "What is the problem? Nine girls tell me, so I can help you find a solution."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, "Returning to my mother, ordinary concubines who enter the palace will use gold thread to tattoo some patterns on their clothes to show their luxury. But if all the concubines are dressed like this, wouldn't they be the same, so I thought, Is there any way to make the eldest sister not only lose her dignity, but also be unique."

"Oh, is that so?" The wife nodded, "No wonder I heard people say that you have already pulled out the gold wire, so you have such a plan, so I feel relieved when you say that."

The wife didn't mean it, but Qiao Jiuxiu's body trembled suddenly. Sure enough, someone was going to kill her, and she was still planning to kill her.This matter only happened yesterday, and it has already reached the ears of his wife today, and yesterday, only Jin Xiu and herself knew about it.Therefore, the person who sent the message was probably the culprit who tore down the gold thread.But she didn't dare to ask his wife who was the informer, so she just dropped her teeth and swallowed it.

"Mother, you are very well-informed. Even if mother doesn't ask, I'm going to tell you about it. It's good to use gold thread, but it lacks new ideas. But I didn't realize this problem when I went shopping with my eldest sister yesterday. , if my wife agrees, I want to go out again today, and I have already figured out what to do." Suddenly, Qiao Jiuxiu had a flash of inspiration and had a good idea.

"Alright." The wife nodded, "You can go to the cashier to pay some money for the purchases, but every money must have a source, and the gold thread that has been removed must be returned as soon as possible. Over there at the cashier."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, stood up and said goodbye to his wife.Even if this level is fooled.Go back and count up with Jinxiu to see how much they can exchange for their monthly money, jewelry, etc., and then use the money to buy some gold thread and give it to the accountant.

However, she still doesn't know who is behind the scenes, causing her to bleed profusely, and she feels somewhat unwilling.

The wife stopped Qiao Jiuxiu and told her to hurry up, saying that she would come for an inspection in three days.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, it seemed that she had to stay up day and night for three days, the peony flower on the elder sister's shirt was quite labor-intensive.But if I change to other patterns, I am afraid that my eldest sister will be unhappy.

Back in her courtyard, Qiao Jiuxiu dared to wipe the sweat off her forehead. The situation just now was really critical, otherwise she wouldn’t be sweating profusely in the winter, and now she feels wet on her back, as if just now It's like walking through the gate of hell.But the next thing is quite difficult to deal with.

Jinxiu stood at the door, waiting for Qiao Jiuxiu to come back, seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu came back intact, she was surprised and happy, ran over a few steps, took Qiao Jiuxiu's hand, and said slightly, "My good lady, you can count on it I'm already wondering if I should ask the young master to save you."

"Don't go." Qiao Jiuxiu said hastily, holding Jinxiu's hand.She already owes Qiao Shaotang a lot of things, and if she has to trouble him again, she will be very embarrassed. Although Qiao Shaotang always said that it doesn't matter, and if there is any problem, just leave it to him, but she still feels that if she can solve it by herself problem, don't bother others.

"Jinxiu, let's go into the house and talk." Qiao Jiuxiu pulled Jinxiu into the house and asked Jinxiu to take out all the silver taels and jewelry, but it was still not enough. She and Jinxiu didn't have much monthly money. There is always some expenses every month, and the savings for half a year are only seven or eight taels of silver, and if you add up jewelry, it is less than 20 taels, and you can't buy much gold thread at all.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, she didn't dare to replace the gold thread with copper wire, the accountant is such a shrewd owner, how could he not see it?
Sighing lightly, he took out the plum blossom hairpin that Qiao Shaotang had given him before. The third sister said that the workmanship of this thing is good, and it should be worth a few dollars.

"Jinxiu, put your things away. This is still your dowry, so don't take it out." Seeing Jinxiu walking over with a small box, she didn't know what was in it, but Jinxiu was more than that. Once said, this is her dowry, how can she let Jinxiu take out all the dowry?You must know that if a girl in this era wants to marry a good family, she must have her own dowry, otherwise, ordinary people will look down on her, and even if she is forced to marry, she will be disgusted by her husband's family and suffer a lot.

"Miss, it's okay, this is a very important moment. Besides, we will redeem it when we have money. Jinxiu is still young and has no plans to get married yet, so I can put this thing in the pawn shop for safekeeping."

"But..." Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to decline, she depended on this dowry when she got married, how could she have the nerve to take it away?

"Miss, let's go out now, I'll call for a carriage right now." Jin Xiu hugged her small box and ran out without even giving Qiao Jiuxiu a chance to speak.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, knowing that Jinxiu's decision could not be changed once she decided on it, she just hoped that she would not have the opportunity to use her dowry later.

There were not many opportunities to use money in the house before, so she didn't feel that money was so important, but when she really needed to use it, she realized that the money was less when it was used. There is no skill left.

Sighing lightly, she went to the cashier and paid some money. The money was used to buy materials to replace the gold thread, and she didn't dare to use it indiscriminately.
