The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 55

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu nodding, Hongxiu bravely continued, "Miss Jiu also knows about Pearl. People can dream, but they can't have unrealistic dreams. Otherwise, they will pay the price." Hongxiu has been with the elder sister for many years , the best at being a human being, just now I saw that Qiao Jiuxiu was not angry, so I continued to persuade, but if Qiao Jiuxiu frowned and got angry, Hongxiu would definitely keep silent.

"I know." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. What Hongxiu said was for her own good after all. Naturally, she was not so ignorant of good and bad, and she also understood Hongxiu's good intentions.As soon as he returned to the mansion, he heard that Lin Zhiyi had arrived at the mansion, and his wife was receiving him now.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and sighed lightly, it should have come, but it still came.She had no way to escape, so she asked Hongxiu to call Jinxiu, and they rushed towards the main hall together. Lin Zhiyi was a distinguished guest of Qiao's residence, so they naturally wanted to receive her.

It was already late when we arrived at the main hall, the wife and other sisters had already arrived, the wife looked at Qiao Jiuxiu coldly, although she knew that she was out of the house to do some shopping, but she was still a little unhappy, Lin Zhiyi came here this time , I'm afraid it's mainly for the engagement with Jiu Yatou.Although the Lin family and the Qiao family have always been very close, the wife does not want to marry Qiao Jiuxiu to Lin Zhiyi.

She, like her mother, is a restless master. "Jiu girl, you are late. Aren't you afraid of offending the distinguished guest?" The wife asked with a frown, her tone already a little angry.Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her head slightly, and bit her lips lightly, "Returning to Madam, today I went out to do some shopping, but I didn't expect my cousin Zhiyi to come over suddenly. I hope my cousin won't be offended if I come late. Nine sisters are here to apologize to you." gone."

Speaking of saying that Wei Wei blessed Lin Zhiyi, although the situation was sudden, Qiao Jiuxiu's performance was neither humble nor overbearing, which made people's eyes shine.

Qiao Yuanxiu nodded slightly, but it's a pity that Jiumei is a concubine, and she doesn't please his wife, otherwise, just because of this favor and humiliation, people like it very much.Looking at Lin Zhiyi again, his eyes were full of satisfaction.Qiao Yuanxiu sighed lightly, knowing that Lin Zhiyi's liking might cause Qiao Jiuxiu trouble.Wife saw that Qiao Jiuxiu took the initiative to admit her mistakes, and her attitude was not bad. Although she was still somewhat dissatisfied, she still let Qiao Jiuxiu sit down.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed slightly, as if only by hiding herself among the crowd could she find the long-lost sense of security.

"By the way, Zhiyi, what are you here for?" The wife looked at Lin Zhiyi kindly, very gentle.Lin Zhiyi nodded to his wife, "Returning to my wife, Zhiyi came this time to pay his respects to his wife and everyone in the family. In addition, my father heard that the Qiao family will move to the capital after the Chinese New Year. I am happy, I have already selected several good houses near the capital, and I can live in them when I arrive in the capital."

"Why do you bother with this matter?" The wife was embarrassed on the surface, but flowers were piled up on her face. "Help me say thank you to your father, when we get to the capital, we must visit."

"We're all in the same family. It's too strange for my wife to do this." Lin Zhiyi cupped his hands to his wife, but kept his eyes on Qiao Jiuxiu.Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her head and bit her lips even tighter, no, some words should be said to Lin Zhiyi.He is the kind of person who won't look back once he decides, so a subtle refusal won't make him give up. What she has to do is to tell him very cruelly and bluntly that they are impossible.

"By the way, how long will Cousin Zhiyi come to stay this time?" Qiao Liuxiu interjected and asked, hearing that Lin Zhiyi had arrived at the mansion, she purposely put on the gold silk fringed dress that she had been reluctant to wear all along. Because it is a summer dress, I can only put on a small white vest outside, which looks quite charming.

"Stay here for a few days, and go back tomorrow." Lin Zhiyi replied very simply. He actually couldn't bear the pain of lovesickness when he came here this time. He wanted to come and see Qiao Jiuxiu. Now that he has already seen him, he has to go back quickly. Well, the end of the new year is approaching, and there are many things waiting for him to deal with in the mansion. If he spends too much time in Qiao's mansion, he is afraid that his father will be unhappy.Hearing that Lin Zhiyi was going to leave tomorrow, the sisters in the Qiao Mansion were disappointed, but Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, otherwise, if she keeps facing him, she doesn't know what state of mind she should use to face him.

"Cousin Zhiyi didn't stay for a few more days, which is really disappointing." Qiao Wuxiu flattened her mouth, she always said what she wanted to say.Lin Zhiyi smiled awkwardly, "No, no, the end of the year is coming, and I still have a lot of things to deal with. Besides, sisters and sisters, don't you have things to do too? I won't have time to receive me, an idler."

"How could Cousin Zhiyi be an idler? Besides, my wife just handed over the New Year's affairs to Jiumei, and we are still very leisurely. Cousin Zhiyi, why don't you stay with us for a few more days? It must be very tiring to come here." Qiao Liuxiu thought about Lin Zhiyi's last visit, so naturally she needed to serve him well.Although Lin Zhiyi wanted to stay in Qiao's residence for a longer period of time, but he really couldn't get away, so he had no choice but to decline the other sisters' invitations.But from the beginning to the end, he didn't see Qiao Jiuxiu trying to keep him.

"Madam has handed over the year-end affairs to Jiumei?" Lin Zhiyi saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward, so he changed the topic.The Qiao family is a big family, and the year-end affairs are very cumbersome. If it is not handled properly, it will end up in an embarrassing situation. He is really worried for Qiao Jiuxiu. She is only under 15 years old, how to deal with these matters?
"Yes. Jiu Yatou looks very smart even though she is young. This year, my eldest sister and I are too busy to take care of the New Year's affairs, so I leave it to her to take care of it." The wife replied perfunctorily, she didn't like Lin Zhiyi cared too much for Qiao Jiuxiu, but it was difficult to show it, so his words seemed a little indifferent.Lin Zhiyi nodded, still a little worried in his heart, and looked at Qiao Liuxiu who was looking at him burningly.

He knew that his wife had always liked Qiao Liuxiu, so even if she made a mistake, his wife would not blame her too much. If she could be allowed to take over the affairs of the year, Qiao Jiuxiu could be saved from fire and water.He simply felt that Qiao Jiuxiu was too young to handle the New Year's affairs well, and thought it was his wife's intentional difficulty, but he didn't want it to be Qiao Jiuxiu's initiative to invite Ying.

"Ma'am, I think this matter should be left to Sixth Sister. Sixth Sister has always been smart, and she can definitely handle it well." Lin Zhiyi's opening made everyone stunned. He never asked, why is he so concerned about the New Year's Day today?The wife glanced at Lin Zhiyi with some displeasure. She had lived for so long, so she naturally knew that Lin Zhiyi had an abacus in mind.

Lin Zhiyi was worried that Qiao Jiuxiu would be punished if he couldn't handle the New Year's affairs well, so he thought of pushing this hot potato on Qiao Liuxiu, but it was a pity that Qiao Liuxiu didn't notice it at all, thinking that Lin Zhiyi paid special attention to her, her eyes widened Pick, looking at Qiao Jiuxiu proudly.

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, knowing that Lin Zhiyi was worried that he would not be able to handle the year-end affairs well, so he specifically proposed to his wife to change someone to do this matter.It's just that Lin Zhiyi overlooked one thing, why can't she handle the New Year's affairs well?Moreover, she had been fighting for this matter for a long time, and she was very eager to get this opportunity to please his wife so that she would no longer have prejudice against herself.

"Madam, since Cousin Zhiyi has already opened his mouth, I will boldly proceed with this matter. I promise to live up to expectations and do it beautifully." Qiao Liuxiu was very happy in her heart. Lin Zhiyi is a distinguished guest of the Qiao Mansion, as long as he speaks , too many wives are not good at refusing.

"No, leave this matter to me." Qiao Jiuxiu said suddenly, "Since Madam has entrusted this matter to me, it means Madam affirms my ability and believes that I can handle this matter well. Didn't Sixth Sister say that she likes the leisure time now? How can Ninth Sister bother you with these trivial matters?"

When Qiao Jiuxiu said these words, she looked at Lin Zhiyi seriously.Lin Zhiyi didn't know why Qiao Jiuxiu insisted, so he could only sigh lightly. It was inconvenient for him to intervene in this matter, so he had to let his wife decide.

"Zhiyi, you don't come here often, so you don't know much about the situation in Qiao's Mansion. Although Jiu Yatou is young, she is smart in doing things, and she is much better than Liu Yatou. And this matter was also won by Jiu Yatou herself. If we leave it to Liu Yatou to do it like this, I'm afraid she will be unhappy." The wife spoke, although it was not harsh, but everyone could hear the meaning of the wife's words.That's how the matter was settled.

Qiao Jiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his wife did not deprive herself of this opportunity, otherwise she would not know when the next opportunity would come.

"Let's go, let Butler Lin prepare the family banquet tonight." The wife got up and called the sisters to leave.Qiao Jiuxiu walked slowly, and when the sisters had left the main hall, she turned her head to look at Lin Zhiyi, "Tonight, beside the rockery, I will wait for you."

There are some things that she has to make clear to Lin Zhiyi.Lin Zhiyi was overjoyed, nodded quickly, and said that he would be waiting for Qiao Jiuxiu tonight, see you soon.

"Miss, what's the matter with you?" Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu was a little disappointed, both Jinxiu and Hongxiu trotted over and asked, Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, they also saw what happened in the main hall just now.

Hongxiu pulled Qiao Jiuxiu aside, "Miss Nine, Madam is already a little dissatisfied with Master Zhiyi. I think it's because he takes special care of you."
