The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 35

Qiao Jiuxiu also felt very cold, she gently rubbed the palms of her hands, hoping to generate some heat from the rubbing, but in such a cold winter day, this rubbing would not have any effect.

Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly thought of Jinxiu, she was dressed thinner than herself, she must have been frozen to death.Qiao Jiuxiu turned her head to look at where the maids were standing, but she didn't see Jinxiu. Where did this girl go?
Just when Qiao Jiuxiu was wondering, Jinxiu suddenly appeared beside her, and stuffed something into her, "Miss, hurry up and take it."

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't see clearly what Jinxiu stuffed for her, so she immediately put it inside her sleeve, and when she touched it, it turned out to be a very warm Mrs. Tang.

"Jinxiu?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Jinxiu in surprise and joy, it turned out that she disappeared just now and went back to get Tang Pozi for herself, which moved Qiao Jiuxiu indescribably.

"Hush!" Jinxiu signaled Qiao Jiuxiu to keep quiet, after all, if she made a move in front of the master and wife, the consequences would be disastrous.

Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to remind Jinxiu to go back and put on an extra dress, but Jinxiu took a few steps back and stood in the place of the maid, which made Qiao Jiuxiu very worried but unable to speak.

Qiao Liuxiu on the side looked towards Qiao Jiuxiu, she didn't know what happened here, but she just felt Qiao Jiuxiu looking around here, she immediately rolled her eyes at Qiao Jiuxiu.

Qiao Jiuxiu naturally ignored Qiao Liuxiu's rolling eyes, she could only roll her eyes at herself now, Qiao Jiuxiu looked at everyone other than herself shivering with cold, while her arms were as warm as spring, this kind of The mood is enough for her to be proud for a while.

Qiao Jiuxiu secretly looked at his wife, and found that her lips were pale from the cold, if he walked over and handed Mrs. Tang to her at this time, would it be a timely help?But Qiao Jiuxiu won't go there, because letting her see his wife's frozen face is far more enjoyable than sending Mrs. Tang to get his wife's reward.

It was already noon at this time, and the members of the Qiao family had been standing at the gate for an entire hour. This was a real ordeal for the pampered people of the Qiao family. Here is admiring the faces of all living beings in the Qiao family.

"How long do we have to wait, I'm freezing to death!" Qiao Shaolian finally couldn't bear it anymore, and complained, which immediately attracted his wife's cold eyes, and he was so frightened that he stopped talking immediately.And Qiao Sihai was so cold that he couldn't move freely, he couldn't even look back at Qiao Shaolian.

The weather was not beautiful, and at this time, there were profuse snowflakes in the sky, which made the Qiao family, who were already terribly cold, complained even more.

At this time, at the end of the long street, I finally saw a black dot, and it was slowly getting bigger. It should be General Ye's guard of honor.

Because a big man like General Ye is coming to Qinzhou, the whole city is already on alert, especially the long street is not allowed to pass by the common people, so the black spots that appear on the long street must be General Ye's people.

"Is that General Ye coming?" Qiao Shaolian pointed to the black spot at the end of the long street in shock, his tongue was so cold that he couldn't speak fluently.

"Yes, yes!" The others were also surprised to find the black spot, which immediately became the savior of the Qiao family, and the face of the originally ugly Qiao family became cheerful again.

"It's General Ye!" Qiao Sihai was also very excited. If he waited like this, he would freeze to death.

Qiao Jiuxiu also saw the black spot, and gradually became excited in her heart. She immediately looked at Ye Duanyi. Although she could only see a side face, she saw Ye Duanyi's full smile.

The guard of honor got closer and closer, and the members of the Qiao family became more respectful. When General Ye's [-]-member guard of honor came to the gate of the Qiao family compound, Qiao Sihai brought all the Qiao family's family members together to salute General Ye.

"Qiao Sihai and his whole family welcome General Ye!" Qiao Sihai was very respectful at the moment, he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at General Ye, he was completely different from his usual serious look.

Qiao Jiuxiu also saluted General Ye with all the concubines, and none of them dared to raise their heads.

"I have met Mr. Qiao, everyone is polite!" General Ye is a military general after all, he did not ride in a sedan chair or a carriage, but rode a tall horse. .

"Daddy, you're finally here. My daughter misses you so much!" After saluting, Ye Duanyi walked up and hugged General Ye's arm, full of the expression of a little daughter coquettish.

"Do you miss daddy too?" General Ye showed a loving smile at this moment, completely different from the majestic general just now, in front of Ye Duanyi was a kind father.

"Naturally, second brother, you're here too?" Ye Duanyi looked back and saw her second brother Ye Yulang coming with General Ye. She was very happy and stepped forward to hold Ye Yulang's arm, " Second brother, why are you here? Where are big brother and third brother?"

Ye Yulang was about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a white ferret shawl, he looked handsome, he scraped Ye Duanyi's nose with his hands, and looked at her dotingly, "Big brother and third brother are both from the Imperial Palace , naturally you have to stay in the palace to protect the emperor, you little girl, you run around every day!" It can be seen that Ye Duanyi has a very good relationship with her three brothers.

Seeing Ye Yulang scratching Ye Duanyi's nose with his hand, Qiao Jiuxiu's heart tightened suddenly. She remembered that Qiao Shaotang had done the same thing as herself, so did Qiao Shaotang love her as her own sister?This action made Qiao Jiuxiu's mind turn a thousand times, and she was a little lost for a while.

"Ninth sister, let me introduce you. This is my second elder brother Ye Yulang." Ye Duanyi immediately wanted to introduce Qiao Jiuxiu to Ye Yulang, but she didn't respond to Qiao Jiuxiu's greetings, and she still stood beside Qiao Jiuxiu Qiao Shixiu pushed her, and she recovered from her absence.

"Sister Ye!" Qiao Jiuxiu immediately came in front of Ye Duanyi. She never thought that Ye Duanyi would introduce Ye Yulang to her alone in front of so many people. This made Qiao Jiuxiu feel that her cheeks were very hot. I saw the jealous and resentful eyes of the concubines.

Qiao Jiuxiu came to Ye Duanyi with her head down, and solemnly blessed Ye Yulang, "Qiao Jiuxiu has met Second Young Master Ye."

Ye Yulang's eyes brightened. Although the younger sister in front of him was very young, she was very beautiful, and she had the kind of charm that a mature woman could exude. The body is very inappropriate, but this word popped up in Ye Yulang's mind when he saw Qiao Jiuxiu for the first time, this Qiao Jiuxiu is really a different girl.

"Ninth Sister, you are welcome, and I would like to thank you for taking care of my sister." Although Ye Yulang did not walk around in front of the imperial court, he was the capable little Jiang beside General Ye. Although he was still young, he had excellent martial arts. He was a young hero. In addition to his extremely handsome appearance, he is also a well-known son in the capital.

"Second Young Master Ye, you are being polite. Sister Ye has always been taking care of me." Qiao Jiuxiu said modestly and cautiously, always being courteous and just right. One point is too much and one point is too little. She didn't say a word to Ye Yulang , after all, in front of so many pairs of eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Sihai welcomed General Ye and several of his bodyguards into Qiao's mansion, and Qiao's mansion also became busy, preparing for General Ye's reception.

Qiao Jiuxiu followed behind the concubines, and also silently followed his wife into the Qiao's compound. Just when he turned into the inner courtyard, the wife who had been walking in front suddenly stopped, turned around and spoke very loudly. Bing Leng, "Listen up, all of you, General Ye will be staying at the mansion for a while this time, and he will bring a few men with him, if you have nothing to do, don't walk around the mansion, so as not to lose face." The wife said here After thinking for a while, he said again: "Jiu girl, did you hear clearly?"

Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly looked at his wife in surprise, with a shocked and terrified expression on his face. The wife could ask herself alone, or in front of so many sisters. She clearly wanted to remind herself that the conversation she had with Ye Yulang just now had aroused Lady's vigilance.

"Yes, my daughter heard clearly." Qiao Jiuxiu immediately made a terrified expression, lowered her eyebrows and replied pleasantly, and then the wife turned around and continued to walk forward.

All the concubines followed their wife to her courtyard. The wife went to the back room to change clothes. All the concubines could only wait in the outer hall. Pity the cold concubines who are still shivering. They want to go back and change into a pair of dry clothes. The cotton shoes are too late.

The outer hall was surprisingly quiet, and the concubine girls who usually like to talk were immersed in their own coldness. Qiao Jiuxiu was also thinking about what his wife said to him just now, but she didn't speak.

After about a stick of incense, the wife came out from the back room. At this moment, she had changed into a warm and gorgeous casual dress, and her hair was combed again, looking elegant and luxurious.

After sitting on the seat, the wife drank a cup of warm tea from Ruyi before she opened her mouth, "It's a big deal for General Ye to come to our Qiao's house. Although he only stays in our house for a few days, he can't do anything. Sloppy, I must satisfy General Ye." The wife didn't say anything high-sounding, but directly entered the topic. The concubines under the seat don't know, but she is very clear about the purpose of General Ye's visit to Qiao's house, mainly In order to investigate whether Qiao Sihai can take up the post of servant of the household department, this is a first-class event for Qiao Sihai and even the entire Qiao family.

"General Qiao came a bit unexpectedly this time, and I didn't notify you in advance, but our Qiao family is a rich family, and you are all famous ladies, so even if there are any emergencies, you must be able to respond accordingly." The wife's face is also very It is serious, and it can be seen that she also attaches great importance to the inspection time of General Ye this time, "So you all have to show your housekeeping skills and leave a good impression on General Ye."

The concubines looked at each other, not knowing what the wife meant by leaving a good impression on General Ye, so they all looked at the wife, and the wife continued: "You all cook one of your best dishes when you go back. Prepare it before serving General Ye, and remember to put in the effort to make a dish that General Ye will be full of praise for, if anyone embarrasses our Qiao family in this matter, I will definitely not forgive you in the future."

The wife's words were very serious, and it just reflected the importance she attached to General Ye's coming to the mansion at the moment. In the end, the wife did not forget to ask, "Hurry up and go back to prepare. Just take the materials from the kitchen. What's the matter?" What to choose."

"Yes, mother!" All the concubine daughters withdrew from the wife's room one after another, all frowning, thinking about what kind of dishes to make.

Qiao Jiuxiu was also preoccupied. She was not good at cooking, and she rarely let concubines cook in Qiao's residence before. This time, she really gave these concubines a big problem.

"Ninth Younger Sister, don't you know Second Young Master Ye? Why don't you just ask Second Young Master Ye what Mr. Ye likes to eat!" Qiao Liuxiu walked up to Qiao Jiuxiu's side, sarcastic in a lukewarm manner.

Qiao Jiuxiu's cheeks blushed immediately, she had known for a long time that the matter between herself and Ye Yulang would definitely be criticized by the concubines, so she didn't say anything.

"Really? Then Ninth Sister, hurry up and ask. If we know what General Ye likes to eat, we will be fine!" Qiao Shixiu didn't realize that there was something in Qiao Liuxiu's words, and thought it was true. Immediately stepped forward and said happily, she is only about ten years old, she is a real child.
