The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 33

"Big sister, eat more!" Ye Duanyi first picked up a few slices of mutton and put them in Qiao Yuanxiu's bowl, and then put a few slices of meat into Qiao Jiuxiu's bowl, "Ninth sister, eat more too."

"Sister Ye is being polite, you are the guest, why did you greet me and eldest sister instead?" Qiao Jiuxiu said with a funny smile, since Qiao Yuanxiu had already spoken just now, she naturally had to relax.

"Yeah, sister Ye, you are our distinguished guest, why did you pick up the meat for me? Oh, I see, anyway, you are going to pass the door anyway, you want to please our aunts first?" Qiao Yuanxiu He also deliberately made a joke about Ye Duanyi, making the atmosphere of the whole room very relaxed, and the few maids who were still a bit cautious also became less restrained, and everyone picked up vegetables from each other, eating happily .

"Big Sister, Sister Ye, this is the pear blossom wine made by Jinxiu and I, how would you like to try it?" Qiao Jiuxiu personally bought a glass of pear blossom wine for Qiao Yuanxiu and Ye Duanyi, poured another glass for herself, and finally gave it to everyone present The maids each poured a glass, and the two maids Hongxiu and Qinglian who followed Qiao Yuanxiu were a little flattered.

"Really? Then I want to taste it!" Qiao Yuanxiu was very pleasantly surprised, and immediately took a sip, "Well, it's really delicious, with a delicate fragrance and a kind of tranquility, which is very suitable for eating with a pot. It can instantly remove the greasy pot."

Ye Duanyi also took a sip immediately, and couldn't help admiring: "This is really the best pear blossom wine I have ever drunk. If I can drink such delicious wine every day, I will live in the house for a long time. You are in the Qiao Mansion."

"Do you want to drink Ninth Sister's pear blossom wine, or do you want to drink too much?" Qiao Yuanxiu didn't forget to take the opportunity to tease Ye Duanyi, and everyone at the table laughed again.

The wine table went on very happily, everyone, whether it was a maid or a young lady, ate and drank to their heart's content, until night fell, the wine table had not dispersed.

"Sister Nine, this pear blossom wine is fresh and delicious. How do you make it, teach me!" Ye Duanyi prefers to drink, and drank almost half a jar of pear blossom wine in one afternoon. The pear wine is full of praise.

"Actually, I'm not good at brewing wine either. This is mainly due to Jinxiu. Jinxiu's family used to make wine." Qiao Jiuxiu said a little embarrassedly. Originally, she didn't do much when brewing this pear blossom wine, and she was basically responsible for it. Collecting pear blossoms, and other processes are all done by Jinxiu, and now she has a reputation for brewing fine wine for no reason, which makes her a little ashamed.

"Oh? I didn't expect Sister Jinxiu to have such a skill!" The red sleeve beside her was also amazed. Although she couldn't drink much and didn't drink much, she heard Ye Duanyi, a wine lover, constantly praising her. Pear Blossom Wine, she knew it must be delicious.

Jinxiu's face was slightly rosy, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "You ladies have spoken too seriously, and this servant feels embarrassed."

"What's there to be embarrassed about? This wine is really good. Tomorrow, I'll give the rest of the jar of pear blossom wine to my mother for a taste. Maybe she will let you be in charge of brewing the whole house's water wine!" Qiao Yuanxiu also praised with a smile Speaking of Jinxiu, as the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, not everyone can afford her compliments, especially the second-class maids around a concubine like Jinxiu, who don't even have the chance to talk to Qiao Yuanxiu on weekdays. To get such affirmation from her, Jinxiu was so excited that she almost knelt down to kowtow to Qiao Yuanxiu.

Mei Xiang pouted at the side, isn't she the daughter of a lowly brewer, what a big deal.

"Then I would like to thank Eldest Sister for Jinxiu's kindness." Qiao Jiuxiu was also very happy. After all, Jinxiu has talent in this area. If she can really be appreciated by his wife and be in charge of wine brewing in Qiao's residence, then maybe Jinxiu can be promoted to the top of the list. First-class maids, even those in charge, that will be of great benefit to her future marriage and so on.

"Jinxiu thank you Eldest Miss and Miss Ye." Jinxiu stood up excitedly as she spoke, and solemnly bowed to Qiao Yuanxiu and Ye Duanyi, her eyes were red, as if she was about to cry.

"Sister Jinxiu, please sit down!" Qinglian hurriedly stood up and supported Jinxiu, and pushed her onto the chair. She and Jinxiu were both second-class maids, and they often communicated with each other on weekdays, so they had a good relationship.

The wine party lasted until very late, and the last jar of pear blossom wine was exhausted, and the people left reluctantly. Even so, Ye Duanyi was still unwilling to leave, and finally stayed in Qiao Jiuxiu's room, with Qiao Jiuxiu share the same bed.

Lying on the bed, Qiao Jiuxiu gently closed her eyes. Ye Duanyi, who was lying next to her, was already a little drunk. Jinxiu put several Tang Pozi under the quilt for the two of them before leaving, leaving only Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi behind. There are two people in Duanyi.

The room was quiet, Qiao Jiuxiu was already feeling sleepy, but after all, there were guests by her side, so she was too embarrassed to fall asleep first.

"Ninth Sister." Ye Duanyi opened her mouth softly.

"I'm here, sister Ye." Qiao Jiuxiu responded lightly.

"Ninth Sister, do you think Master Qiao likes me or not?" Ye Duanyi said what was buried in her heart with a bit of drunkenness.

"I don't know about that either." Qiao Jiuxiu responded honestly. She had never seen him since the last time she parted ways with Qiao Shaotang, so she naturally didn't know what he was thinking. In Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes, Qiao Shaotang and Ye Duanyi were a match made in heaven Bi people, but what the two parties think, only they know in their hearts.

"Ninth Sister, to tell you the truth, I really like Young Master Qiao." Ye Duanyi said with a little drunkenness, maybe she dared to speak her mind because of her alcoholism.

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't say anything. After all, it's not easy for her to express her own opinions on such things. Firstly, she can't help much in this matter. Secondly, if she talks too much, she doesn't look like a 13-year-old girl. up.

"Forget it, Ninth Sister, go to sleep, I'm sleepy too." Ye Duanyi said with some helplessness, although Qiao Jiuxiu hasn't met anyone she likes yet, but she also understands her mentality.

Although she didn't drink much, Qiao Jiuxiu was also very sleepy, she gradually fell asleep after closing her eyes.

The next day, Qiao Jiuxiu woke up as usual, and found that the outside of the window was much brighter than the previous few days. It turned out that the heavy snow of the past few days had stopped.

Sitting up, Qiao Jiuxiu saw that Ye Duanyi was still fast asleep, she really drank too much wine yesterday, let her sleep for a while.Thinking about it, Qiao Jiuxiu tiptoed out of bed, put on her clothes and walked out of the bedroom, closing the door gently.

"Miss, what are you doing? Miss Ye isn't up yet?" Jinxiu was already busy in the room, preparing water for Qiao Jiuxiu to wash.

"Yeah, Sister Ye is still sleeping, she is probably too tired, let her sleep a little longer." Qiao Jiuxiu took the towel that Jinxiu handed over, put it in the basin to wet it, and then began to wash up.

After washing up, Qiao Jiuxiu drank another bowl of porridge, which made her stomach feel better. She also drank several glasses of wine yesterday, and now her stomach is still a little hot. After eating this bowl of porridge, Qiao Jiuxiu's stomach It feels a little more comfortable.

Qiao Jiuxiu began to embroider the purse as usual, because she was in her own room, she did not apply powder, her hair was scattered on her shoulders casually, and she was only wearing a home robe, embroidering stitch by stitch.

"Miss, how many have we made in the past few days?" Jinxiu was still earnestly tailoring, with a sense of accomplishment on her face, she was finally able to help the lady.

"En" Qiao Jiuxiu checked the purses that had already been made, "I have already made eight."

"It's pretty fast." Jinxiu laughed. At this time, the door of the bedroom was gently pushed open, and Ye Duanyi, who had just woken up, poked her head out from inside, "Did I oversleep?"

Ye Duanyi's appearance was very cute, which amused both Qiao Jiuxiu and Jinxiu, "This is not somewhere else, even if you overslept, we won't talk nonsense."

Ye Duanyi also seemed to remember where she was, and walked out of it decently, "Every day at the elder sister's place, I have to follow her daily, sitting, and sleeping time. I am really exhausted. I used to be at home But I never got up on time." Saying that, Ye Duanyi began to wash, and then sat beside Qiao Jiuxiu, looking straight at Qiao Jiuxiu.

"Sister Ye, why are you looking at me all the time? Is there something on my face?" Qiao Jiuxiu was a little terrified by Ye Duanyi's look, so she asked.

"No, it's just that I think the ninth sister is really beautiful. She can produce hibiscus without applying makeup. She will definitely be a stunning beauty when she grows up." Ye Duanyi said seriously, as if she didn't Not like a joke.

Qiao Jiuxiu's cheeks were slightly hot, although she knew how beautiful she was, but it was the first time she heard someone use such a straightforward adjective to describe herself, and Qiao Jiuxiu felt very embarrassed.

"Sister, don't be embarrassed, it's a good thing to be beautiful." Ye Duanyi opened the mouth to save Qiao Jiuxiu, "I'm just curious, the ninth sister is so beautiful, why is the eldest sister not the ninth sister who is sent to the palace for draft?"

Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her head slightly. It's not that she hadn't thought about this question, but there was only one spot for the draft, and she couldn't get her turn no matter what in Qiao's mansion. Besides, she really didn't want to enter the palace and become a resentful woman in the harem. It's hard.

"It's nothing, big sister has both ability and integrity, and she has outstanding character. Only big sister can be selected if she participates in the audition, and she can glorify the Qiao family in the future." Qiao Jiuxiu said very seriously, as if these words had been deeply rooted in her heart.

"The eldest sister is indeed very good, and the ninth sister is also not bad, but entering the palace may not be a good thing. The ninth sister will definitely find a good son-in-law in the future." Much more organized at night.
