The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 25

On the second day, the main hall.

"Jiu girl, take out the clothes and show everyone." The wife nodded to Qiao Jiuxiu, Qiao Jiuxiu got up, walked in front of Jinxiu, and took out a light yellow spring dress from the box in her hand.

"My God!" Qiao Shanxiu exclaimed when the spring dress was fully revealed. The dress was so beautiful, especially the peony embroidered with gold thread. Although the pattern was a bit exaggerated, it perfectly displayed the peony flower. The extraordinaryness of the Emperor of China perfectly complements the eldest sister who is about to marry into the royal family.Looking at the other sisters on the side, they were all stunned.

This spring shirt is so pretty.

"Jiumei, your hands are really skillful." Qiao Yuanxiu spoke first. She knew the progress of every step of the clothes, but it was the first time she saw how perfect the finished product was. No wonder the wife insisted on Jiumei making the clothes. He's very talented.

"It's just, why do I think this golden thread is a bit strange." Qiao Liuxiu on the side suddenly said, "I remember that the color of the golden thread should be brighter? Why is it now a bit gray, and since the ninth sister has decided to use There is gold thread, but why the gold thread was suddenly pulled out halfway, and then embroidered again, isn't it a bit strange to do so much?"

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled lightly, she was waiting for Qiao Liuxiu's words.Could it be that Qiao Wuxiu arranged for the pulling out of the gold thread before?But she asked herself that she hadn't done anything to dissatisfy Qiao Wuxiu.

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't seem to realize that once the eldest sister married into the royal family, the wife might think highly of another concubine daughter and ask her to help manage some matters in the house.Before, they thought that such a candidate would be Qiao Liuxiu, but recently Qiao Liuxiu seemed to have fallen out of favor, and his wife fell in love with watching Qiao Wuxiu dance again. Many people worry that Qiao Jiuxiu will also become a strong competitor.

Therefore, a conspiracy is going on in the seemingly peaceful backyard of Qiao's family.

"Jiu girl, this gold thread is a bit strange." The wife said after looking at the clothes for a long time. The color of the gold thread was a little dark, as if it had been coated with something, but the color was Zhou Zheng, "And you It’s not that the golden thread is not creative, so why did you use it in the end?”

The wife seemed a little annoyed.But Qiao Jiuxiu just smiled slightly, "Madam, can you ask the maids to close the curtains? Pulled on.

As soon as the curtains were closed, Qiao Shixiu, who was closest to the clothes, noticed something strange, "Madam, the clothes, the clothes are shining."

The wife frowned, and was about to blame Qiao Shixiu for making a fuss, but when she followed the voice and looked at the clothes, she also froze.The clothes were really shining. She asked herself that she had seen many worlds, but this was the first time she saw clothes that could shine.The originally golden peony shone with a faint white light in the darkness, more bright and moving, as if it was a fairy dress, and the person wearing it should be a fairy in the sky.

Qiao Jiuxiu also shook her head slightly, she didn't expect the effect of Ye Mingzhu powder to be so good, it was somewhat beyond her expectation.But judging from the expression on the wife's face, she should be quite satisfied. Her hanging heart finally calmed down.

After she calmed down, she began to observe the expressions of the sisters. Although Qiao Liuxiu was the one who questioned it just now, she was still not sure that Qiao Liuxiu was the one who took away the golden thread. She only knew that among these sisters, someone really wanted to If you want to harm yourself, you will still be put to death.

Qiao Yuanxiu nodded to Qiao Jiuxiu very satisfied, Qiao Jiuxiu also smiled back, she never doubted her elder sister.Qiao Shanxiu's eyes were filled with surprise and envy, which was very normal. Qiao Shixiu was dumbfounded. She was just a child, so she probably wouldn't do such a thing.The only ones left are Fifth Sister and Sixth Sister. Who is harming her, and for what purpose?

She didn't understand, but told herself to be careful in the future.

"Jiu Yatou, how did you do it?" The maid has already pulled up the curtains, and the hall has become bright and bright again. Although the faint white light has lost, the goose yellow spring shirt is still beautiful and charming, like a young girl , slim.

"Didn't the sixth sister say that the color of the gold thread was a bit strange? That's because I applied a layer of luminous pearl powder on it, and that's why it shone in dark places, but because of the layer of something, So the color of the gold thread is not very authentic, which is also normal. Because it was a temporary idea, I had to pull out all the gold thread that had been embroidered before, and then reworked it."

The wife nodded, and actually smiled slightly, "Very good, Jiu Yatou did a good job in the clothes this time, I will definitely reward you a lot, and I will give you double monthly salary in the past six months, if Yuanxiu gets the emperor's favor because of her clothes , you will definitely be rewarded heavily.”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and thanked his wife, she was really short of money, and she would have to redeem the hairpin when she had enough money, but it was a pity that she had to die for the pair of plum blossom earrings, and I don't know if they were bought by someone now.

When she thought that it was very likely to have become someone else's property, her heart ached so badly that she couldn't bear it.

"Madam, I have seen the exquisite embroidery work of the ninth sister in the past few days." Ye Duanyi, who was sitting beside the wife, said suddenly, her eyes were full of longing, showing the shyness of a little girl, "I really hope to wait until When I get married, I can also wear such a beautiful dress and be the most beautiful bride."

"Of course." The wife held Ye Duanyi's hand back, "If you like, I can make a wedding dress for you after Jiu Yatou finishes Yuanxiu's work and rests for a while."

She knew that Ye Duanyi came here this time to discuss marriage with Qiao Shaotang. She likes Ye Duanyi, a girl who is not only well educated, but also has a father who is a general. It will do no harm to the Qiao family. If you want to be an official in the court, it would be great to have an old man with a strong background.Even if there is really no way to be in-laws, it is very good to be friends, so no matter from what point of view, she needs to make Ye Duanyi happy.

"Then why are you so embarrassed?" Ye Duanyi lowered her head. She had never met Qiao Shaotang's man, so she didn't know if he was suitable to be her husband. Happiness entrusted to a strange man. "This is too much trouble for the ninth sister."

Although she is impulsive, she is not that impulsive.

"There is nothing to be embarrassed about, we will be a family from now on." The wife patted Ye Duanyi's hand lightly, "You also stay here for a few more days, and you can play with any sister you like, I told them , I can't bully you."

"Okay." Ye Duanyi nodded, "Then I want my younger sister to accompany me. I still have a lot to ask about embroidery."

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled, it wasn't about asking about embroidery, it was probably because she wanted to find a way to ask Qiao Shaotang out, and then let them meet.In the past few days, she has been asking all kinds of questions about Qiao Shaotang, but Qiao Jiuxiu doesn't know much about Qiao Shaotang, so she can't let Ye Duanyi enjoy herself every time.

Presumably tomorrow, she would beg herself to pretend to be a servant in order to watch Qiao Shaotang swim in the lake.

On the lake in winter.

Although it is covered with snow, the lake has not yet frozen over. In addition, the weather is very good today. Many rich men are sailing on the lake. One of the boats is covered with green vines and has a long and narrow hull. It is no different from ordinary fishing boats, but Among them are two women and one man, but it is a different kind of scenery.The young man was wearing a light blue long gown, which made his heroic appearance even more elegant. The two girls, one in a blue-yellow long dress and the other in a pink-white long dress, had graceful figures, as delicate as twin flowers.

"Jiumei, why did you suddenly think of going out to swim in the lake?" Qiao Shaotang smiled slightly, straightened his sleeves that were blown by the wind, and asked Qiao Jiuxiu, who was whispering to Ye Duanyi, "And you are so strange today that you didn't Bring Jinxiu out, but instead... Hey, why haven't I seen this maid before?"

Ye Duanyi's face turned red all of a sudden, as if a secret that had been hidden for a long time was suddenly spied on by someone.She tugged on Qiao Jiuxiu's sleeve in embarrassment, hoping that she could help him out.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, these days she has said good things about Qiao Shaotang, if he is really with Ye Duanyi in the end, he must thank her as a matchmaker.

"My wife said that I worked hard making clothes for my sister, so she gave me a maid for a while, so that I can relax. I just entered the mansion a few days ago. It is reasonable for my brother not to know." This lie Qiao Jiuxiu has already said I have said it in my heart many times, so it is very handy to say it now.Qiao Shaotang didn't think much, nodded to Ye Duanyi and greeted him politely.

Ye Duanyi also blessed her body slightly. The young master of the Qiao family is really as good-looking as Qiao Jiuxiu said, and he is very knowledgeable and reasonable, but I want to choose a husband, so I can't be so hasty, and I need to study it carefully.Today he didn't know his identity, but it was the best opportunity.

"Speaking of the clothes, I feel that it's a pity. I wasn't in the mansion yesterday, so I couldn't witness Jiumei's exquisite dress. I heard that Shimei has already praised that dress as a fairy dress worn by a fairy in the sky. No It’s a pity to see it with my own eyes.”

"No regrets, no regrets, brother will see it sooner or later. And when the time comes to wear it on the body of the eldest sister, it will really be a fairy dress worn by a fairy in the sky. By the way, I heard that the elder brother is quite familiar with this area. If you don’t wait, tell us about it.”

Qiao Jiuxiu thought that the topic should not stop on the clothes. Ye Duanyi was already very fascinated by embroidery. If she continues this topic, she will definitely not be able to bear it, and then talk about it, so that her identity as a maid will be exposed.May I ask which maid is so clear about embroidery, and dares to talk about it in front of the young master and miss.Of course, Qiao Jiuxiu didn't realize a very serious mistake.

Even if she really changed Ye Duanyi into maid's clothes, she couldn't hide the aristocratic temperament she exuded from all over her body.And this thing, obviously it can't be covered.
