The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 75 Preparing to move to the capital

On the second day, the sky was only a little bright, Jinxiu called Qiao Jiuxiu up, saying that his wife asked all the concubines to gather in the hall, as if there was something important to say.Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange, but with the help of Jinxiu, she put on the clothes, and then hurriedly walked towards the main hall.

If she guessed right, it should be a big deal.Now that the New Year's Eve is over, the major event in Qiao's Mansion is probably to move to a new house and settle in the capital.Because Lin Zhiyi had already selected the foundation of the house before, it was originally a residence for officials, and later Lin Zhiyi specially sent someone to renovate it, thinking that when the time comes, he can move in directly.

When we got to the main hall, almost all the sisters were there.Because of the New Year's Eve, she gained the trust of her wife, so in order to please her, many sisters made a special trip to visit and exchange some pleasantries. Qiao Liuxiu also smiled at her slightly, as if she had really let go of her previous suspicions.Only Qiao Wuxiu stopped where she was a little unhappy.She has always been straightforward, likes and dislikes will be written on her face simply and directly, regardless of whether you see it or not.

"Are you all here?" The wife came in and sat down on the main seat, and then called the ladies to sit down, and all the maids retreated. It seems that this time the wife is talking about something important.

"Year, we have passed, and we are doing well. Next, we have to do some serious business." The wife cleared her throat, "This year is a very critical year for Qiaofu, and we have to do a lot of things. I am in Let me tell you here first, so that you can also be prepared. After the new year, we will move the whole family to the capital, and then Yuanxiu will marry into the royal family in spring, and the master will be promoted to an official in the capital; Marrying into Qiao's family and becoming Shaotang's wife are very important things, I hope you can make preparations in advance so that you won't be too busy when the time comes."

The ladies nodded, they also knew the pros and cons of this matter.Sure enough, I heard my wife continue to say, "If any of these things happen because of one of you, I don't care what credit you have made in the past or how much you have contributed to the Qiao family, you will be severely punished." , do you know, or don't you know?"

As soon as these words came out, all the sisters nodded quickly, saying that they would completely obey their wife's wishes on this matter, and would never slack off in the slightest.

The wife nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, in fact, I called you here today mainly for housewarming. Although you don't need to bring too many things this time, there are more than a hundred people in Qiao's mansion, and it takes half a month to get to the capital from here." During the half month, I hope to choose one of you to help with the housewarming, I don’t know which one of you would like to?”

If it was in the past, Qiao Yuanxiu would not let this matter go. She is the eldest daughter of the Qiao family, and she is also the daughter of the first wife. She is the apple of the eye of the wife. pursue.It's just that the eldest sister is about to become the emperor's concubine and needs a good rest. That's why the wife called everyone to the main hall for a meeting. She clearly wanted to choose one of them to be in charge of the housewarming.

Qiao Jiuxiu thought that although he was appreciated by his wife for the year-end affairs, and his wife's attitude towards him has improved a little, this improvement is only temporary after all. , I still have to be responsible.So I was the first to volunteer.

The wife didn't nod or shake her head, but her eyes stayed on Qiao Liuxiu.The previous things had already made Qiao Jiuxiu show off, this time she intentionally asked Qiao Liuxiu to do it.Once the eldest sister enters the palace, there will be a new lady who will take the lead. Compared with Qiao Jiuxiu, the wife hopes that it will be Qiao Liuxiu, so she thought about letting her do it this time.

Seeing his wife looking at him, Qiao Liuxiu weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Although the housewarming could be done in front of his wife, it was very cumbersome. There were so many people, so many things, and so many livestock in the Qiao residence, all had to be relocated. Going to the capital sounds like a very complicated matter.She frowned slightly, if there were any mistakes in it, it would definitely cause dissatisfaction with his wife.

She remembered Qinglian's instructions yesterday.Qinglian said that there will be many major events in the family recently, and the wife will definitely choose someone to take charge of it.If Miss Jiu likes it, it's best to let her, or even help her, so that the wife agrees to hand over this matter to her.As for what Miss Six had to do, it was to stab her at a critical moment.

"Madam, although Jiumei is young, she manages the year-end affairs in an orderly manner. Although the housewarming is complicated, I believe Jiumei can handle it well." Qiao Liuxiu said, the faces of his wife and Qiao Jiuxiu Surprise is written all over it.Qiao Jiuxiu was surprised that Qiao Liuxiu was trying to win this opportunity for herself.The wife was surprised why Qiao Liuxiu didn't ask for the job herself, but gave up the opportunity instead.

The other sisters also looked at each other in dismay, discussing why Qiao Liuxiu suddenly changed her temper.

The wife let out a sigh, since Qiao Liuxiu had no intentions, then it is better to leave this matter to Qiao Jiuxiu, so she asked Qiao Jiuxiu, "If I entrust Jiu Yato to do the housewarming, how will you arrange it?"

Restoration and relocation is an inherent complex in China, which has not changed for thousands of years.Qiao Jiuxiu thought for a moment, and then said, "First of all, we should find someone who is good enough to pick out a good day and auspicious day for us to move in, and then prepare for the housewarming after returning to God." Seeing his wife nodding, Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, It seems that her guess was wrong. My wife attaches great importance to housewarming, so she will definitely choose a good time to start, so as to win a good start.

"Then, it is a systematic arrangement. Because it involves not only the master, the young master, the wife, and a group of servant girls, but also the disposal of some furniture and daily necessities, and there are some livestock in the backyard. Although there are not many, how should they be handled? We still need to think about it. I suggest that we can clean up the things in the house in advance, which things we need to bring to the capital, and which things we don’t need. There should be a plan for this, so as not to mess up the situation at that time. "

Qiao Jiuxiu thought about telling his wife everything he could think of as before, so that his wife could rest assured to entrust this important task to herself.Unexpectedly, in the middle of the speech, the wife interrupted Qiao Jiuxiu's words very simply, "Jiu girl is a very thoughtful person, I believe everyone can see it, let Jiu girl handle this matter, everyone should try to cooperate with her .”

Although the wife prefers to have Qiao Liuxiu handle this matter, since she is not interested in this matter, it is natural for the wife not to force her.She also knew Qiao Jiuxiu's ability, so she simply let her do it.It's just that she is somewhat dissatisfied in her heart, she can't understand Qiao Jiuxiu's current appearance, she is beautiful, capable and attractive.

This is exactly the same as the fourth aunt back then. Fortunately, she is still keeping her own place. If she is not, the wife thinks that she must be good at punishing her.

Qiao Jiuxiu was overjoyed when his wife agreed.Seeing that there was no hope, the other sisters were a little downcast.Qiao Wuxiu gave Qiao Liuxiu a strange look, and reluctantly lowered her voice, "Why did you argue with Jiumei this time?" She also saw the expression on his wife's expression just now, and the wife clearly wanted Qiao Liuxiu to take care of it, but She chose to escape.

Qiao Liuxiu shook her head slightly and smiled, "Jiumei is more capable than me, and this matter is so important, so everyone can rest assured that I can trust her to do it. I know what I can do, so how dare I take it upon myself."

Qiao Jiuxiu gave Qiao Liuxiu a strange look, this was not her style.She has always liked to fight against herself, so she doesn't care how much her own strength is.It seems that what Jinxiu said to her before should be true.It's just that she really wanted to know how Qinglian persuaded Qiao Liuxiu.

She used to think that Qinglian was just an ordinary maid who was diligent, taciturn, inconspicuous, and would not attract attention. She did not expect Qinglian to have such abilities this time, even Qiao Liuxiu could handle it. She looked at her with admiration, and sure enough, none of the maids who stayed beside the eldest sister was simple.

But when it comes to housewarming, it really needs to be paid enough attention to. Although my wife has given this matter to her with confidence, if there is a slight mistake, she can only take care of this disaster alone.Roughly organize my own ideas, and plan to discuss with the elder sister in detail later in the meeting. Although the elder sister has no experience in this field, she is well-informed and can definitely provide herself with good reference opinions.

Qiao Shanxiu looked at the back of Qiao Jiuxiu leaving, and sighed softly, "It turns out that the sixth sister has given up. It seems that after the elder sister enters the palace, the ninth sister can only lead our concubine daughters."

"Are you willing?" Suddenly a voice sounded behind Qiao Shanxiu, she turned her head and saw a maid in a green shirt.

"What can I do if I'm not reconciled?" Qiao Shanxiu asked back.She is not reconciled, but what's the use of not being reconciled.Although she is the oldest among the concubines of the Qiao family, the younger sister never listens to her and does not regard her as an older sister at all.She doesn't have the slightest dignity at Qiao's house, so what can she do if she is not reconciled?

"As long as you feel unwilling, that's fine. If you want to know what to do, you can come to me." The maid smiled lightly, and then left.Qiao Shanxiu only felt that she had seen this maid somewhere before, but she couldn't remember.Looking at that attire, it should be the attire of a second-class maid. Since she is not new here, why doesn't she recognize her.

As long as you are not reconciled?Is she not reconciled?Qiao Shanxiu asked herself.
