The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 36

"Sister Shi, don't leave any pot unopened and carry it. Your Ninth Sister and her are also friends. Even if you have the cheek to ask, they may not respond." Qiao Wuxiu was the last one to come out of his wife's room. She didn't hate Qiao Jiuxiu at first, but after experiencing Lin Zhiyi and Ye Duanyi's incident, she began to have opinions on Qiao Jiuxiu. What happened to Ye Yulang today made her even more angry. Raised to the extreme.

"Fifth Sister, have you been dancing too much and your tongue is flashing? We all saw that Miss Ye took Ninth Sister to meet Second Young Master Ye today. No matter what you say, it turns sour." The girls are considered older, so they will naturally teach the younger sisters a lesson on weekdays, even though they are all unfavorable concubine daughters.

"Hmph, third sister, do you want to take advantage of Jiumei's light to gain the backing of the Ye family?" Qiao Wuxiu had been tolerant to Qiao Shanxiu a lot on weekdays, but today she finally couldn't hold back, and turned her back after saying a word coldly. Leaning away quickly.

"This fifth girl, unexpectedly..." Qiao Shanxiu is a relatively pedantic lady, always thinking that she is older, so she naturally wants to teach her sister a lesson, but she doesn't want to be put together by Qiao Wuxiu today, she is at this moment again Shame and annoyed.

"Third Sister, please don't be angry, it's all sisters, don't hurt your peace." Qiao Jiuxiu immediately stepped forward to comfort Qiao Shanxiu, but ignored Qiao Liuxiu, and left the wife's courtyard with Qiao Shanxiu.

After walking out of the courtyard, Qiao Shanxiu grabbed Qiao Jiuxiu's arm, deliberately lowered her voice and asked, "Ninth Sister, you are on good terms with Miss Ye, can you find out some news about General Ye's taste?"

This question from Qiao Shanxiu really made Qiao Jiuxiu dumbfounded. She thought she was targeting her, but she didn't want to because she had other purposes, so Qiao Jiuxiu said helplessly, "Sister Ye and I have only met a few times. Sister, I am quite familiar with her, but you also know that my mother arranged for Sister Ye to live in the room of the eldest sister. I have never seen her since then, and today she suddenly introduced me to Second Young Master Ye , I don’t know what’s going on.”

Qiao Jiuxiu's words were very sincere, and Qiao Shanxiu heard the truth. She felt that Qiao Jiuxiu was not lying, because from what she knew, Qiao Jiuxiu was a bit dull, definitely not a shrewd person, and she couldn't think of it. Why did Qiao Jiuxiu lie to her.

"Yeah, this is really embarrassing my sister." Qiao Shanxiu immediately took the initiative to withdraw the topic, but she was very disappointed in her heart. She really had no clue about this task of the wife.

"Although I don't know the taste of General Ye, but I believe that as long as we make it with our heart, General Ye will like it. The taste of cooking with heart can be eaten." Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiao Shanxiu's disappointed expression and comforted her. In fact, she was comforting herself, even she herself had no clue at the moment.

"That's right, then let's go back quickly and get ready, don't waste time." Qiao Shanxiu said goodbye to Qiao Jiuxiu, and quickly walked towards her yard.

Looking at Qiao Shanxiu's anxious pace, Qiao Jiuxiu knew how much she valued today's task, and so did the other sisters, which made Qiao Jiuxiu's pressure even greater.

Back in the yard, it was Lu'er who opened the door for her, Qiao Jiuxiu was not in the mood to praise Lu'er today, but went directly to the house.

"Miss, is it cold?" Jinxiu was tidying up in the room, and when she saw Qiao Jiuxiu coming back, she immediately greeted her. She found that Qiao Jiuxiu's expression was very wrong today, which was completely different from her usual talking and laughing. Jinxiu knew that Qiao Jiuxiu must be What's wrong.

"What's the matter, Miss? Tell me if there is anything, and see if Jinxiu can help you?" Jinxiu said immediately.

"Hey, today my mother arranged a task for us sisters, which is to cook a dish for General Ye. It should be ready before dinner, and General Ye will be full of praise. You know my cooking skills too. " Qiao Jiuxiu didn't hide herself, and immediately slumped on the chair as if she had no strength, she never had to hide herself in front of Jinxiu, because Jinxiu was the person closest to her.

Jinxiu also showed a embarrassed expression at this moment. She knew Qiao Jiuxiu's cooking skills. Although Miss Jiu was outstanding in needlework, when it came to cooking, it was definitely Qiao Jiuxiu's weakness, which made Jinxiu unavoidable. Started to worry about her.

"Then what should we do? Madam is the same. I don't notify Miss of such things in advance, so that Miss can be prepared!" The more Jin Xiu thought about it, the more anxious she became, and finally she simply walked back and forth in the room. Qiao Jiuxiu was still anxious.

"Jinxiu, don't leave, my eyes will be dizzy if you leave." Qiao Jiuxiu said, but her mind didn't stop for a moment, she kept searching for the food shows and various recipes she watched in the 21st century, but found that At this moment, my mind is blank.

It's true that when the book is used, there will be less hate!Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, even though she didn't know how to cook in the 21st century, she was still a foodie, and she watched a lot of food shows that made people drool, but now she can't think of any of them.

"Miss, why don't you ask Miss Ye, she has such a good relationship with you, she will definitely tell you what General Ye likes to eat." Jinxiu thought it was a good idea, and was immediately very happy.

"I don't want to rely on other people's help this time, besides, Sister Ye is definitely by the side of General Ye and Young Master Ye, how can she have the time to see me!" Qiao Jiuxiu immediately rejected Jinxiu's proposal, it's not like she didn't think about this proposal However, she always felt bad about asking others for help.

"Then what should we do? How about this? Mei Xiang's cooking skills are acceptable in our room. I'll go and beg her right now to let her cook a dish for Miss so that she can meet up with work at night." Jinxiu was in a hurry. Ants are like ants on a hot pan, constantly thinking of various methods.

"This doesn't work either. After all, I didn't cook it, and General Ye is Sister Ye's father. I shouldn't use Mei Xiang's dishes to deceive him. I can't do it." Qiao Jiuxiu also shook her head. The general is Ye Duanyi's father, and Ye himself should respect him like his own father, so you can't do anything to fool him.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's going to be night, what can I do!" Jin Xiu remembered that her face had changed color, she was really worried for Qiao Jiuxiu.

Seeing Jinxiu's anxious look, Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't bear it, "Jinxiu, don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, don't worry, I will definitely think of a good way." Qiao Jiuxiu said, lying down On the bed, although time is urgent at this moment, she needs to calm down and think about it.

"Miss, are you still sleeping?" Jinxiu was very surprised by Qiao Jiuxiu's behavior, but she didn't get to the bottom of it, she believed that the young lady's ingenuity would definitely solve this matter.

Jinxiu thought about it and stopped talking, she exited the room and closed the door gently, leaving Qiao Jiuxiu alone on the bed with her eyes closed.

Qiao Jiuxiu didn't sleep, even though she was lying on the bed with her eyes closed at the moment, her big anger was running fast.She quickly recalled the bits and pieces of the days when she lived with Ye Duanyi in her mind, thinking about all her conversations about General Ye.

Qiao Jiuxiu remembered that Ye Duanyi said that General Ye was over 15 years old, and at the age of 55 he went to battle with his father to fight against the enemy. However, Jia Jia's son-in-law's position as a general allowed him to spend his life in the capital, but in fact General Ye missed the old days in the barracks very much.

Ye Duanyi also said that she secretly saw General Ye stroking his spear several times, her eyes were very nostalgic.

Thinking about Ye Duanyi's words, Qiao Jiuxiu could come to a conclusion that General Ye's favorite thing was life in the barracks and fighting the enemy, and Qiao Jiuxiu continued to deduce that General Ye must miss the food in the barracks very much. If I can make the taste he remembers, will it satisfy him?

Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little excited when she thought of this. At first, she wanted to cook some delicacies, big fish and meat for General Ye, but then she thought that those things were what General Ye ate every day, so she naturally didn't think they were delicious. And the memories of the past are the best.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiuxiu no longer hesitated, and immediately sat up from the bed, opened the door and called Jinxiu, "Jinxiu, come quickly, I've thought of what to do!"

"Here we come!" Jinxiu was also suffering outside, as soon as Qiao Jiuxiu said that she had thought of it, she ran over as quickly as possible, very surprised, "Miss, what did you think of?"

"Come here!" Qiao Jiuxiu pulled Jinxiu into the room and closed the door behind her. This matter must not be let to a third person, otherwise it would not be a surprise, and she only trusted Jinxiu.

"Jinxiu, go prepare some..." Qiao Jiuxiu told Jinxiu everything she thought of, and at the end she didn't forget to ask, "By the way, you must find those big and good raw cabbage leaves, go quickly !"

Jinxiu frowned at the beginning, what are you preparing for, Miss?They were all things that were not expensive enough, but seeing the young lady's full breasts, she had no choice but to do it.Although Jinxiu is suspicious, she trusts Qiao Jiuxiu very much. She firmly believes that Qiao Jiuxiu will surprise everyone.

Soon Jinxiu brought over big and small bags, and Qiao Jiuxiu excitedly took all the things one by one and put them on the table, "How is it? Did the kitchen make things difficult for you?"

"Miss, you are right. The kitchen is very busy today, and all the ladies have sent people to fetch the ingredients, and they all want to get the best. The people in the kitchen don't have a good face. At the beginning, when they saw me coming He didn't want to give me something, but when he heard that what I wanted was these things, he gave it to me happily. When I left, I saw Yuhen beside Miss Six waiting there. I guess I haven't received any ingredients yet. "Jinxiu said happily, as if she had encountered something that made her very happy, but Qiao Jiuxiu was not thinking about it at the moment. What she cared about most now was whether she could cook this dish well. After all, she was relying on memory. It's the first time I'm here to buy ingredients, and it's still unknown whether it can be done well.

The days in winter were short, and soon it was completely dark, and the servants of Qiao's mansion were also very busy, bringing all kinds of delicacies made in the kitchen to the main hall.

"Jinxiu, it's time for us to go!" Qiao Jiuxiu put the prepared food into a wooden box and wrapped it with several layers of thick cloth before going out with Jinxiu. At this time, General Ye's The reception banquet should start soon, so I must not be late at this time.

The road was dark and slippery at night, and the master and servant supported each other as they walked forward, for fear that they would accidentally fall and ruin the dishes they had prepared with all their heart.

Finally, I came to the largest hall of Qiao's house where the welcome banquet was going to be held. It was already very lively inside. There were women and maids coming in and out constantly, and the wife was also directing in the hall, for fear of any mistakes or omissions.
