The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 51

Another embroidery bag is done.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, and looked at the work she had just completed.This is a pink embroidered bag, with a lotus flower embroidered on it, and there is a poem beside the lotus, "Come out of the mud but not stained, clean the ripples but not demon", she hopes that she can be like this lotus, In the huge Qiao's mansion, he kept his last bit of innocence.

"Miss, the eldest lady asked you to come over and said that I have something to tell you." Jinxiu trotted all the way over, saw that Qiao Jiuxiu was looking at the embroidery bag in her hand, she also came over, and said with emotion, "Miss' female celebrity is more It's getting more and more beautiful, and it's enviable to look at, and this lotus flower seems to be real."

"That's right. Jinxiu's mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter." Because of the pearl incident, everyone in Qiao's mansion was in danger, and the atmosphere in the mansion was also very tense, so Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to make a joke to ease the atmosphere , "What do you think the eldest sister is looking for me for?"

Jinxiu shook her head, she only said that the elder sister had a serious expression on her face, she probably had something to discuss with her.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, the embroidered bag was almost finished, otherwise she really didn't have time to visit, and asked Jinxiu to bring her shawl, a long aqua blue dress with a snow-white mink velvet shawl, she looked slim , Jinxiu was stunned. "Miss, you are really getting more and more beautiful."

Qiao Jiuxiu blushed with embarrassment at Jinxiu's words.Hastily lowered her head, "Well, you Jinxiu, you actually made fun of me." But she didn't notice that, at the beginning of the new year, she will reach her maturity and become a real girl, and soon she will be able to talk about marriage.Qiao Jiuxiu didn't think much about it, and it took about three cups of tea to reach the elder sister's courtyard. Qiao Yuanxiu saw her coming in, and hurriedly pulled her to the side hall, then closed the door, making sure that no one was eavesdropping several times in a row. He let go of Qiao Jiuxiu's hand.

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, it seemed that the eldest sister did have something important to tell her.Nodding to her very seriously, "Sister, do you have anything to tell me?"

"It's very important." Qiao Yuanxiu said with a serious expression. "Only Jinxiu knows about your coming, does anyone else know?"

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, she heard that the elder sister had something to ask her, so she trotted all the way here, and only Jinxiu who passed on the message knew that Jinxiu was her own, and she could trust her.If even Jinxiu has evil intentions towards her, she really doesn't know who to trust.Seeing her shaking her head, Qiao Yuanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Yesterday, I was talking with my wife, and the master kicked me out after he came in. I was careful at the time, so I hid aside and eavesdropped, Ninth Sister, you guess I heard it all?" What?"

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, how could she guess that.Qiao Yuanxiu sighed, and said emphatically, "The Lin family has come to make an appointment, and it's your engagement."

"Written?" Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes widened. She remembered that before marriage, the man would usually go to the woman's home to make an appointment. This meant that the marriage between the two families was settled. Could it be that someone came to propose a marriage for her?

"It's the engagement from cousin Zhiyi." Qiao Yuanxiu continued, "Hasn't Shaotang already shown you the letter from cousin Zhiyi? You also know his intentions, but why does he still show such an expression?" come?"

Hearing Qiao Yuanxiu's teasing tone, Qiao Jiuxiu felt more and more embarrassed, her face was blushed, but she didn't dare to look at Qiao Yuanxiu, "Sister, don't say any more, I know what he wants, but I didn't expect it to be so soon."

She thought she would have to wait for a while, at least after this year, but she didn't expect that Lin Zhiyi would make a decision so quickly.I don't know what my wife thinks, do you think this is what I mean?Because the wife was already very dissatisfied with her about Pearl, and now that this incident happened again, the wife must be very dissatisfied.

"Never mind whether it's fast or not, what does Ninth Sister think about this matter?" Qiao Yuanxiu ignored Qiao Jiuxiu's embarrassment and continued to ask.Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, but sat down, and sighed softly, "What else can I think, although Cousin Zhiyi is very good, but he is not my destination, my wife will help me decide my destination."

It's not that she doesn't want to resist, she is really powerless to resist.And she didn't like Lin Zhiyi at all, she just thought he was a good person.A marriage without love can never be happy, it just belongs to each other's grave, and she doesn't want to bury herself in it.

After hearing Qiao Jiuxiu's answer, Qiao Yuanxiu breathed a sigh of relief, "Ninth Sister, it's really great that you can think like this."

"Huh?" Qiao Jiuxiu gave Qiao Yuanxiu a strange look, why would she say such a thing?She thought that Qiao Yuanxiu would persuade herself to marry Lin Zhiyi, and she was even prepared to say no, but she didn't expect that Qiao Yuanxiu had no such plan at all.Qiao Yuanxiu shook her head slightly, "Jiumei, maybe what I say will be ugly, but it's all for your own good. Maybe it's good to be the wife of the Lin family, but it's not your fate."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she never expected to marry into the Lin family.She only wants a simple love that she really likes, but this is probably even more extravagant than marrying into the Lin family.

"Elder Sister taught me a lesson, Ninth Sister knows." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded.

Qiao Yuanxiu thought she was angry, and lightly raised her hand to pat the back of her hand, "Jiumei, you have also seen the matter of Pearl, and you also know the tricks of the wife, anyone who violates her will will end up like that , I don’t want you to follow in the footsteps. I just punished Zhenzhu to kneel in the courtyard before, wanting to abort her child. But what my wife wanted was to get rid of Zhenzhu completely, so as not to damage the face of the Qiao family. Playing hard Play tricks, we are not the wife's opponent, so I hope, you just listen to her advice. Women are going to get married after all, and the fate of every woman in our Qiao's mansion has been arranged by the wife, so , let's not disrupt her arrangement."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and bit her lip lightly.It's not that I don't want to fight, but that my own strength is too weak to fight, and my arms can't twist my thighs. Can an ant beat an elephant?
"So don't think too much about it. Master Zhiyi, the wife will give him an explanation." Qiao Yuanxiu reminded that she was going to marry into the palace soon, and Qiao Jiuxiu was the most worrying person in the Qiao family.Although he looks very shrewd and capable, he often gets into trouble because of his kindness.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, the matter of Pearl had a great impact on her, it was the first time she had seen her wife's methods, clean and sophisticated, she was not something she could compete with.There is no way to contend, and we can only accept the arrangement of fate.

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu nod her head, the expression on Qiao Yuanxiu's face eased slightly, "There is one more thing, I will enter the palace at the beginning of spring. It is estimated that Shaotang should marry Ye Duanyi back to the mansion at that time. When the time comes... "

"Really? Big Brother wants to marry Sister Ye?" Qiao Jiuxiu rolled her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "That's really great, lovers will finally get married."

Qiao Yuanxiu shook her head, this is what she wanted to talk to Qiao Jiuxiu today.She usually takes things too simply, and doesn't realize that this may lead to disaster for herself. Just like the Pearl incident before, she could choose to be wise and protect herself, but she just took the matter on herself, which attracted a lot of trouble. An innocent disaster. "However, Shaotang may not like Ye Duanyi. He likes the traditional ladies from great families. Ye Duanyi is a bit too strong. And he is still angry about Yuzhi."

"Ah?" Qiao Jiuxiu was worried, the matter of Yuzhi was just a trivial matter, if the elder brother didn't like Ye Duanyi because of this matter, what should he do.Relationship is a matter between two people, even if she wants to help, she doesn't know how to intervene.

"These are not the point." Qiao Yuanxiu sighed, "The point is that my wife doesn't like Ye Duanyi, she doesn't think she looks like a girl. Should the child know something? But General Ye is an important minister of the court, and the Qiao family dare not offend, so they married Ye Duanyi. But once Ye Duanyi enters Qiao's house, there will inevitably be some friction with his wife. She is a good girl. But it must not be my wife's opponent."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, Ye Duanyi would immediately show that she didn't like a person, dare to love or hate.The wife is different, if she is dissatisfied with you, she may flatter you on the surface, but she will definitely wear shoes for you behind the scenes.When Ye Duanyi marries in, she must remind her to be careful.

Qiao Yuanxiu sighed softly, "So, Jiumei, I still hope that you can keep a distance from Ye Duanyi. If you are too close, it is inevitable that the wife will hate the house, and it will not be worthwhile to implicate you." gone."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, not knowing whether she should agree or refute.Does she need to be wise and protect herself to see Ye Duanyi being bullied by his wife alone?Qiao Yuanxiu knew the contradiction in her heart, so she could only pat her on the shoulder, "Ninth sister, I also know that you are a good girl. Listen to what my sister said, and there is no need to offend my wife because of Ye Duanyi. I will not be in Qiao's house by then, I will go out Things, you don't even have anyone to intercede."

Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu was still hesitant, Qiao Yuanxiu continued after a pause, "After all, Ye Duanyi is General Ye's daughter. If my wife doesn't like her, she will give General Ye face and won't do too much. You are different , you don't have a backer, don't make your wife take it out on you."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, knowing that the elder sister really cared about her, and smiled gratefully at her. As for whether she should stay away from Ye Duanyi, she had her own ideas.

Qiao Yuanxiu finished what she wanted to say, and she didn't know how much Qiao Jiuxiu listened to. She only knew that no one could make her turn back when she decided on something, and could only let her go.
