The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 29 The Wife Was Displeased, The Concubine Asked for Ying

Although my wife usually speaks bluntly, she is very reserved. Today, she directly accused Qiao Jiuxiu, which shows that she is really a little angry. When Qiao Jiuxiu heard this, she immediately knelt down, lowered her head, and said in a very urgent voice, "Daughter If you know you made a mistake, please ask your mother to punish you."

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's obedience, his wife's complexion improved a lot. Qiao Yuanxiu, who was sitting by the side, immediately offered her warm tea, "Mother, please drink tea. Jiumei is still young, so she naturally likes to play, and she Now I am only 13 years old, even if I go out a few times, I am still a child in the eyes of others, and I will not have any superfluous thoughts." Qiao Yuanxiu means that Qiao Jiuxiu is not considered a big girl, at most she is just a child, and she will not let her go out. People feel that they are showing their faces.

"You can't say that, it's the end of the new year now, and the ninth younger sister will be fourteen after the new year. When the eldest sister was 14 years old, there were people who came to propose marriage." Qiao Liuxiu was very flattering today and pinched his wife's shoulders. , These things are usually done by maids, which shows her ulterior motives.

Qiao Yuanxiu glanced at Qiao Liuxiu and warned her with her eyes, but Qiao Liuxiu looked away on purpose. She was naturally in awe of this eldest sister, but Qiao Yuanxiu would enter the palace for a draft soon. , it is more important to please your wife.

"Liu girl is right, Jiu girl, you are not young anymore, how can you marry if this continues?" Madam did not listen to her daughter Qiao Yuanxiu's persuasion this time, but agreed with Qiao Liuxiu's words, which made Qiao Liuxiu's face very unhappy .

"Mother, it's my son who invited Jiumei out this time, it has nothing to do with Jiumei." Qiao Shaotang also excused Qiao Jiuxiu from the side.

"Yes, ma'am, Jiumei is very kind. I said she was bored, so she accompanied me for a walk. These are not what Jiumei meant." Ye Duanyi also said aside, which made the kneeling in the middle of the ground Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't help feeling a little touched, there were still a few people in Qiao's mansion who were looking towards her.

"This is a family matter of our Qiao's mansion. It's better for Miss Ye not to interfere." Qiao Liuxiu said with a smile on the side, but the words she said were a bit sharp, which made Ye Duanyi's face turn red and turn white.

"That's right, our Qiao family is a small family, so naturally it's no better than the General's Mansion. I heard that the General loves Miss Ye very much, and has always taken Miss Ye with him to travel all over the world. Naturally, Miss Ye has seen many things in the world, but we The girl from Qiao's family has never left the gate since she was a child, so it is really inappropriate to go out of the house again and again." At this moment, the wife's attitude towards Ye Duanyi has also changed, and she is not as gentle as she was during the day, Ye Duan Although Yi is a lady of the General's Mansion, the fact that she arbitrarily advocated meeting Qiao Shaotang in private still made his wife very unhappy.

Ye Duanyi's heart tightened. She understood what his wife meant. It was naturally not good for an outsider to meddle in Qiao's affairs. Thinking of this, she nodded and said nothing, but looked at Qiao Jiuxiu with a guilty look.

"Shaotang, I haven't mentioned you yet. You know that Ms. Ye is the daughter of the general, so how dare you meet her in private? Are you not afraid of tarnishing Ms. Ye's reputation?" Madam pointed the finger at Qiao Shaotang, Madam She used to be a young lady from a wealthy family, her thoughts are still very old-fashioned, and she still cares about these things very much.

"My son knew he was wrong." Qiao Shaotang also lowered his head. Although he was the last to know about this matter, it has already happened after all, and it is useless to say anything about it.

"It's good to know you're wrong, Yuan Xiu, take Miss Ye to rest in the inner courtyard, and you will accompany Miss Ye these few days." The wife's tone was a little unquestionable, and she turned her head to look at Qiao Shaotang again, "Shaotang, these few days Don't go to the inner courtyard today, lest you offend Ms. Ye."

"Yes, my son understands." Qiao Shaotang nodded.

"You all go down, I have a few words to say to Jiu Yatou." After the wife finished speaking, several people including Ye Duanyi withdrew, and even the maids who were serving on the side also retreated. Qiao Jiuxiu knelt in front of his wife, his wife had never let her kneel for such a long time before, this was the first time.

The wife picked up the teacup and took a sip, then she opened her mouth lightly, "Jiu girl, I know you are a big kid, but even if you try to please Yuanxiu, Shaotang, Miss Ye and your cousin Zhiyi It's useless, you have to remember who is in charge of the Qiao family."

Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her head even lower, and immediately said in a panic, "Daughter knows she was wrong, and she will never dare again."

"We have seen everything you did for Yuanxiu, and I will naturally remember your kindness, but you are still young, so you have to know how to measure." The wife's tone was heavy, but there was a feeling of earnestness in her words, which made people very sad. It's hard to tell what she's saying at the moment.

"My daughter really knows that she is wrong, and she will never dare to see her elder sister and elder brother in private again." Qiao Jiuxiu knew that this matter was serious, so she acted very scared and shed a few tears.

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu weeping, the wife's expression eased a lot. She stretched out her hand to help Qiao Jiuxiu who was kneeling on the ground, and gently wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, "You look just like me!" Your mother looks more and more like you."

Qiao Jiuxiu's heart sank when she heard this, the wife's words were definitely not casual, they must have some meaning.Although Qiao Jiuxiu came here through time travel, she also knows about the relationship between her biological mother, Aunt Six and his wife. When the wife said that she looked like Aunt Six, she must have felt that she acted a bit like her. This made Qiao Jiuxiu feel true for the first time in her heart. Some panicked.

She thought about it for a while, then quickly put on an expression of not knowing anything, and blinked at her wife, "Mother, are you talking about Aunt Liu? My daughter hasn't seen Aunt Liu for a long time, and she will forget about it." Liu Yiniang's appearance, in the daughter's heart, there is only one mother."

Qiao Jiuxiu's words were very naive and ignorant, but she couldn't fool his wife's eyes. After she took a deep look at Qiao Jiuxiu, she smiled faintly. Just now she saw something very special in Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes. That is only seen in the eyes of a mature person. The wife shook her head with some self-deprecation. She must have misread it. After all, she is only a 13-year-old child. How could she have so many thoughts?He must have regarded her as that bitch!
As the wife thought about it, her tone became much gentler, "You have never been by your biological mother's side since you were a child, and you can be considered as the one who brought you up by me. You should treat me as your mother." The wife paused at this point, and then He said: "As long as you are honest and responsible, mother will never treat you badly in the future."

Qiao Jiuxiu immediately showed a surprised smile, knelt down in front of his wife again, and said excitedly: "Thank you mother, my daughter doesn't ask for anything, she just wants to serve her well, and my daughter will not leave the house from tomorrow, and she is about to The new year is over, and it’s time for my daughter to sew a small gift for her mother during the Chinese New Year.”

At the end of each year, the wife would order the embroiderers in the mansion to sew some small dances such as sachets and pendants, which were used to reward the concubines, maidservants, and mother-in-law in the mansion, or when walking between the mansions. It has become a habit in Qiao's mansion to reward maids from other mansions. In the past years, these things were all done by the embroiderers in the mansion. This time, Qiao Jiuxiu took the initiative to invite her to ask her wife Prove your loyalty.

"Get up, it's so cold on the ground." The wife pulled Qiao Jiuxiu up, touched her immature cheek pretending to be doting, and said with a smile: "You still have the heart to remember these things. Your older sisters should be strong. Your needlework is the best, so let’s make more people who can be used as rewards from other houses, and let the embroiderers do the rewards of our Qiao’s house.” Qiao’s family is one of the best in Qinzhou But Qinzhou is also a wealthy place, there are countless rich and powerful families, even though Mr. Qiao is an official, he often walks around these houses, so when the new year comes, his wife is very busy.

"Yes, mother, my daughter will definitely do her best." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded with a smile, and her heart calmed down. It looks like today's matter is over.

"Then I'll ask Mother Fang to send you the cloth and silk thread tomorrow. If it's not enough, you can spend some money to buy it outside. You must use expensive things, and they must be unusual in their luxury." Madam ordered carefully With that, I have completely forgotten what happened just now.

"Yes, my daughter remembers it in my heart." Qiao Jiuxiu carefully wrote down one by one, and the wife gave her a few more instructions before letting her go. He specially ordered a servant to take her back.

Back in her courtyard, Mei Xiang and the other maidservants had already gone to bed, and only Jinxiu was waiting for her, which made Qiao Jiuxiu take off her mask all day long and face Jinxiu very relaxedly, " why are not you sleeping?"

"Miss doesn't come back, how can the slaves sleep?" Jinxiu immediately stepped forward and changed Qiao Jiuxiu's cotton shoes into embroidered shoes, and changed her clothes, putting on a comfortable robe, "Miss runs around every day, Let the slaves be very worried."

Qiao Jiuxiu's heart warmed up. She has really been too troublesome recently, making Jinxiu worry about herself. She immediately held Jinxiu's hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I have already promised my mother to sew a year-end cloth for her. A small reward, I’m so busy starting tomorrow that I don’t have time to wander around.”

"Really? That's great." Jinxiu was also very happy, she couldn't understand why the young lady got so close to the young lady and the young master a few days ago, wouldn't it be good to stay in the house?Now it's all right, the lady will be busy sewing things before the end of the year, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
