The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 6
That night, Qiao Jiuxiu was busy until late at night before stopping to write. Jinxiu was drowsy while holding a bronze mirror beside her. Qiao Jiuxiu also called Jinxiu several times to let Jinxiu go to rest by herself, but Jinxiu still insisted on refusing to go first. .

Qiao Jiuxiu drew a total of five drawings, all of which she combined the women's clothing styles of the Liang Dynasty and the modern clothing seen on TV. Even if it is just a charcoal sketch, it still gives people a sense of A bright feeling.

Satisfied, Qiao Jiuxiu lined up the five patterns, looked at them for a long time before putting them away, and beckoned Jinxiu to go to sleep together.It's already three o'clock, and I'm going to say hello to my wife at Chenshi tomorrow, and I will be there before a quarter of Chenshi, plus the time for washing and dressing up and walking over, the two of them only have two hours to sleep.

After washing up, Qiao Jiuxiu lay on the bed, she was extremely sleepy.Originally, I thought I would fall asleep as soon as my head touched the pillow, but the more I lay on the bed, the more I became more awake. Obviously I was so sleepy that my eyelids hurt, but I just couldn't fall asleep.Except for the initial insomnia, it was the first time in the past three years that Qiao Jiuxiu went to bed so late, and it was also the first time that she experienced the feeling of being sleepy and unable to fall asleep the more sleepy she was.

After being so drowsy for an unknown amount of time, Qiao Jiuxiu finally fell asleep, but her sleep was extremely restless.For a while, I dreamed that my wife was dissatisfied with my picture, and I was severely reprimanded by my wife; for a while, I dreamed that my wife praised me, but my sisters made things difficult for me in private...

These are all the thoughts she thought before she fell asleep. After all, she was thinking about it every day and dreaming at night. No matter how indifferent she was, she actually had fear in her heart.

She was originally a delicate girl held in the palm of her parents' hands, loved by her teachers, loved by her friends, occasionally playing games and reading novels, living an ordinary but happy life.Although I once imagined what would happen if I also traveled back to ancient times when I read time-travel novels, I never thought that such a thing would really happen to me.

When she first passed through, she tried all means to go back to modern times, and made a pious wish to Mantian Gods and Buddhas, as long as she was allowed to go back, she would definitely worship every temple in the future, and always burn incense, but Mantian Gods Buddha After all, she didn't hear her wish to bring her back to modern times.

It took Qiao Jiuxiu three full months to get used to it, and he really came to this dynasty that could not be found in history.This body is a concubine, and she is also a concubine who is detested by her aunt. She is careful not to let herself be exposed, and she learns about this dynasty bit by bit, understands the customs and customs here, and learns what women here must know. .

In three years, she transformed herself from a modern woman who couldn't even hold a needle to an ancient person who was very good at needlework. The hardships she paid during the period were beyond her imagination.At the beginning, I didn't dare to let others know that I didn't know how to needle and thread, so I could only practice secretly. The needles often filled my ten fingers with holes, and the pain was so painful that I couldn't even hold the chopsticks steadily.

Later, I learned from Jinxiu that the original owner was not good at needlework, so he dared to practice openly, but because of this, he was ridiculed by the sixth sister Qiao Liuxiu anytime and anywhere. Although the other sisters didn't say anything, their eyes were full of disdain. Because at that time Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't even hold the needle steadily.

Later, she finally learned how to sew well, and now even her wife has affirmed her. This time is a rare opportunity for her. Although she is not very willing, she will definitely do it well.

In a trance, and I don't know how long she slept, Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly woke up from her sleep, without any sound, it was not because of a nightmare, but she was suddenly startled, and then woke up.

After a long time, there was a bang bang bang bang bang sound, but Qiao Jiuxiu didn't want to sleep anymore. Although she was sleepy, she was really afraid that if she couldn't get up, she would delay the time to say hello.

Sitting alone on the bed for a while, I heard Jinxiu gently push the door open and come in
"Miss, get up and wash up, it's getting late."

"Well, Jinxiu, I'll get up right away."

Hearing Qiao Jiuxiu's sleepless voice, Jinxiu was a little surprised: "Miss, did you not sleep all night?"

"Look at what you said, how can I stay up all night, but I wake up a little early, and I get up and sit when I don't want to sleep again."

"Oh." Jin Xiu nodded knowingly, and placed a copper basin on the shelf next to the dressing table, which was filled with warm water.

Qiao Jiuxiu got dressed and walked to the copper basin, washed her face with soap, and rinsed her mouth with green salt, then sat in front of the dressing table, waiting for Jinxiu to help her dress up.

She has been here for three years, and she has even learned needlework and embroidery, but she has not learned how to comb her hair, so she can only help Jinxiu every time.

According to Qiao Jiuxiu's usual habits, Jinxiu combed her hair in a simple bun.After everything was settled, Qiao Jiuxiu put on a velvet coat with water wave damask brocade, and an otter fur coat outside.He took a box and packed the drawings he drew yesterday, and asked Jinxiu to hold it, and took a copper hand stove by himself, and walked to the main room with Jinxiu.

It was terribly cold, and the biting cold wind pierced through the thick clothes and penetrated straight into the bones, so cold that even the bones ached.

The snow in Qiao Jiuxiu's yard did not show signs of making the girl get up and clean it up, but when she walked outside the yard, the sound of sweeping snow could be heard everywhere.

The horizon is just faintly bright, and the snow on the ground reflects the faint skylight, but it allows people to see the road clearly, just like daytime.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed slightly in her heart. In her heart, being able to see the road on the way to greet her wife was the only benefit brought to her by a snowy day.

She is not a favored legitimate son and daughter, she cannot build a snowman, cannot throw a snowball, no one will let her have fun wantonly, or someone will not see her having fun.

Halfway through the walk, Qiao Jiuxiu smelled a faint scent of plum blossoms in her nose. Although she hurried to greet her wife, Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't hold back in the end. The red plum blossoms are in full bloom, and the red plum blossoms and white snow complement each other, which is really beautiful.

Qiao Jiuxiu reached out and took the branches of the red plums, carefully shaking off the snow, picked a few red plums that bloomed the best, and took them all the way to the main house.

"Miss, the plum blossoms are blooming well. Why don't you pick them after you come back from my wife? Put them in a bottle and put them on the window sill. The bitter cold is coming." Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu was walking a little briskly while holding the red plum, Jinxiu couldn't help but said.

It's a pity that the plum blossoms can be brought back to the wife's room.

"Let's just look at these plum blossoms all the way. I want to honor my wife. Although it is not a valuable thing, the plum blossoms are indeed blooming well. I think my wife will like it." Qiao Jiuxiu said.

"My wife may like these plum blossoms, but she won't fall in love with you just because of these plum blossoms." Jinxiu secretly slandered.

As if guessing Jinxiu's slander, Qiao Jiuxiu continued: "A drop of water wears through stone, although this little plum blossom will not change my wife's opinion of me, but it will leave a small seed in her heart. As long as I continue to work hard, One day the seeds will take root and sprout. I don’t expect my wife to treat me well. As long as she doesn’t blame me because of my aunt, it will be a great joy for me. At least in the current situation, doing It's worth it."

"My servant understands, but I still feel very uncomfortable in my heart." Jinxiu said.

Yes, Jinxiu can't forget that when Miss Jiu was ten years old, Miss Jiu suddenly had a high fever and fell into a coma after drowning. She was frightened and stumbled to the outside of the main room, kneeling and begging his wife to find a doctor for Miss. , but she knelt outside the main room and begged for a long time, and she didn't even see her wife.
"Let him go about the past. If you always think about it, you will feel unhappy. Why should you punish yourself with other people's faults to make yourself unhappy." Qiao Jiuxiu said calmly, looking at Jinxiu's expression.

"Miss doesn't know, even now, servants would tremble in horror when they thought of Miss's appearance at that time. If it wasn't for Miss's blessing and fate... I really would never forget it." Splendid Empress said fearfully.

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Jinxiu's appearance, and didn't know how to comfort her. She couldn't tell Jinxiu that the Miss Nine whom she had to protect despite the danger of being kicked out by her wife was no longer what she was now. She could tell that Jinxiu was Treat yourself as the master, and treat yourself as the younger sister.Although she can't do it now and treat Jinxiu as her sister, but this does not prevent her from being grateful to Jinxiu.

The closer you go to the main house, the less snow there is on the road. It can be seen that the closer to the main house, the maid who is in charge of sweeping and cleaning is more concerned, and the yard where the wife's main house is located, all the main roads and small roads They were all cleaned up, and a thin layer of plant ash was sprinkled on the road to prevent the masters of the main house from slipping when walking.

When we arrived at the main room, only the third sister, Qiao Shanxiu, arrived first. Qiao Shanxiu’s yard is closer to the main room, so it’s faster to walk over, and she usually gets up early, so it’s good to ask for your greetings, and it’s okay if your wife summons her. Well, she always comes first.

"Hello, third sister." Qiao Jiuxiu saw Qiao Shanxiu and saluted Qiao Shanxiu.

"Hello, Ninth Sister. The plum blossoms that Ninth Sister is holding are so pretty, are they meant to honor mother?" Qiao Shanxiu asked after looking at the plum blossoms in Qiao Jiuxiu's hand after returning the gift.

"Well, yes. It's a pity that I didn't bring out the plum vase, and it was too late to get it back, so I just folded the best one." Qiao Jiuxiu said, holding up the red plum bottle in her hand.

"Ninth Sister has a heart, take it to my mother and find a plum vase to plug it in. If you don't plug it in, I'm afraid it will be fast. Besides, the Sixth Sister and the others will come soon." Qiao Shanxiu secretly reminded Qiao Jiuxiu, Qiao Liuxiu will come over soon He will force Meihua to take credit in front of his wife, and according to Qiao Liuxiu's temperament, he will probably do it.

"Thank you, Third Sister. The Third Sister reminded me that it's a pity that the plum blossoms are gone. I'd better ask my mother to get someone to put the plum vase in. Otherwise, if the flowers are broken, I won't cherish them, but Jiuxiu is wrong." Qiao Jiuxiu understood in her heart, He immediately thanked Qiao Shanxiu, and took the red plums and went to find his wife in the back. "
