The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 77

"I really don't understand, why do you want me to give up such a good opportunity to Qiao Jiuxiu? I didn't say, what ability does she have to manage the housewarming? Even if she did, the wife didn't plan to let me take charge of it. You Why did you shake your head with me at that time, asking me to give up such a good opportunity to that woman?" Just entering the room, Qiao Liuxiu complained very dissatisfied, although it had been three full days since the incident, she still felt uncomfortable anyway .

"Miss, do you think you can do well? What should I do if there is a mistake?" Qinglian whispered from the side, watching Qiao Liuxiu's expression while talking, she should be angry now.But as long as she gives her a suitable reason, she probably won't take it to heart.

"Why do you say that? Could it be that I can't do well what Qiao Jiuxiu can do well?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, and said a little unhappy.Although the housewarming is very complicated, why can't she do what Qiao Jiuxiu can do?Besides, Qinglian is just a maid, so talking like this is too indifferent.

"Of course Miss Six has a way to do it well. Qinglian doesn't mean that." Qinglian quickly explained, "I ask Miss Six to rest assured that as long as you go out to worship God with me tomorrow, when you come back, my wife will definitely take care of you." I'll leave the housewarming to you. And I can guarantee that tomorrow, Miss Jiu will have a very memorable day."

"Huh? What are you planning?" Qiao Liuxiu looked at Qinglian with some puzzlement.However, Qinglian put the index finger of her right hand on her lips, and made a silent gesture, which meant to let Qiao Liuxiu wait and see.Seeing how confident she looked, Qiao Liuxiu also nodded, that's all, let's just listen to her about this once.

"Wait, tomorrow, the wife will invite some female relatives to the house as guests tomorrow. Aren't we going to accompany them? How can I get away?" Qiao Liuxiu suddenly remembered this matter. This has always been a tradition in the Qiao Mansion. The female relatives are all high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and they mostly come here to see them, the young ladies of the Qiao Mansion. If there is someone they like, they will talk about getting married. How could she miss such an important day.

"Miss, if you really want to leave, you can. If you are here tomorrow, there will be a lot of inconvenience." Qinglian said hastily.Qiao Liuxiu looked at Qinglian suspiciously, and Qinglian whispered something in her ear, Qiao Liuxiu, who was still puzzled just now, suddenly smiled knowingly, and then nodded.

"Okay, I agree with you on this matter. I'll go and tell my wife that I dreamed of a osmanthus tree falling down yesterday, and I want to go to the temple to ask for a lottery to see if there are any other meanings." Step out.She didn't notice a trace of desolation in Qinglian's eyes.

Hongxiu, I'm really sorry.If people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish.

Although Qinglian is a good friend of Hongxiu, but everyone has selfishness.Like Hongxiu, she is the eldest sister's second-class maid. In terms of qualifications and abilities, she is the same.When they were the second-class maids together, she didn't feel any discomfort.But after Pearl's death, Hongxiu suddenly climbed to Qiao Jiuxiu's high branch, and there was a faint possibility of being promoted to a first-class maid, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Their abilities are almost the same, so why should Hongxiu follow Miss Jiu to be promoted to a first-class maid, so she can only stay with the eldest lady and continue to be a second-class maid in obscurity, and what's worse is that the eldest sister will soon enter the palace , although you can bring a maid to the palace, but the elder sister never likes to be too ostentatious, so she can only stay.According to the rules of the Qiao Mansion, once the young lady gets married or leaves the Qiao Mansion for other reasons, the remaining maids will be re-evaluated and assigned. She is worried that she will be assigned to an unfavorable young lady, and there will be no other way. Turning over, the gap with Hongxiu will become wider and wider.

But at this time, Hongxiu just found herself, and talked about Miss Six's targeting of Miss Nine everywhere in the chat, which troubled them very much, and they didn't know what to do.After thinking about it in her heart, Qinglian came up with such a way.She lied to Hongxiu that she was pretending to be close to Miss Six to obtain information for them, and she would inform in advance if there was any change in Miss Six.But in fact, she just took the opportunity to find a good host for herself, and thought about how to bring down Miss Nine, so that Hongxiu could also taste the feeling of being out of power.

She remembered that when she first came to Qiao's Mansion, she was only 11 years old. At that time, Pearl gave her a candy, and she was grateful for a whole month. Who is good.But Qiao Mansion is really a big dye vat. She has changed a lot in these years.

She told herself that if someone wanted to trample her under her feet, then she would step ahead of him and trample that person under her feet.

While Qinglian was still thinking, Qiao Liuxiu had already arrived at his wife's room. The wife saw Qiao Liuxiu coming, and because she was in a pretty good mood, she asked her to sit beside her.Among the many concubines, she liked Qiao Liuxiu the most. She thought she was cute and sensible, and she had watched her grow up since she was a child. She used to think that after Qiao Yuanxiu married into the palace, she would ask Qiao Liuxiu to help manage the affairs of the Qiao family.However, Qiao Jiuxiu's sudden rise made her not know how to choose for a while.

"Why do you want to come to see me today?" The wife asked, patting the back of Qiao Liuxiu's hand, "I always feel that you are a bit strange, as if you are deliberately avoiding me recently, do you think I will eat you? Or are you still blaming me for what happened to Pearl last time?"

Last time, because of Qiao Liuxiu's failure to report the matter about Pearl, his wife was furious, and she was punished.Qiao Liuxiu shook her head, she did something wrong in the first place, and it was only natural for his wife to blame her. "Of course it's not for this matter. It's just that there are a lot of things to be busy recently, so it's delayed. I hope my wife won't be offended."

"What are you busy with?" The wife chuckled. It's not that she doesn't know what the lady in the house is doing all day long. If she is busy, Qiao Jiuxiu is busy now, thinking about housewarming.The other ladies are very leisurely.While beating his wife's leg, Qiao Liuxiu said with a smile, "I'm practicing calligraphy recently. I'm thinking of copying a copy of the Diamond Sutra for my wife and hanging it in my new house. It will definitely bring good luck."

"Really?" The wife nodded slightly, but smiled, "I only know that Jiu Yatou is sensible, but I didn't expect Liu Yatou to be so caring, but I don't know what kind of calligraphy this Diamond Sutra is written in. Is it seal script or regular script? Is it the way of writing or is it self-contained? If it has been written, I don’t know if it’s convenient for me to appreciate it first?”

Qiao Liuxiu lowered her head slightly, "I made my wife laugh. My handwriting is not good. Of course, I can only imitate the techniques of famous masters. I am still writing. If I finish it, I will definitely show it to my wife as soon as possible. It's just..."

"Just what?" the wife asked a little strangely, half-spoken, not like Qiao Liuxiu's style, Qiao Liuxiu frowned slightly, and said, "This matter is also related to a dream I had last night. Last night I dreamed The locust tree fell, and I felt a little startled. Today, I told the maid who served me about it. She said that it might have something to do with the house. Thinking that the Qiao family really planned to move recently, I thought about asking about it. Bodhisattva, see what is going on."

"It's time to ask." The wife's expression also became serious, "It's just that I have a lot of things recently, and I will soon be preparing for the relocation, and there are still many things that have not been dealt with in the house. In this way, if you have time tomorrow If so, help me go to the temple and ask to see what's going on. As for tomorrow's flower viewing party, you have participated so many times in previous years, so it doesn't matter if you come or not this time."

Qiao Liuxiu nodded, she knew that his wife took this matter very seriously, so she would definitely let herself find out the truth as soon as possible, all she had to do was promise that she would not be in Qiao's residence tomorrow.Naturally, someone would create a turbulent wave in Qiao's mansion, and then Qiao Jiuxiu could not get out, so she could take advantage of it, and she would not lose the conversation.

This is really a method that kills two birds with one stone. Only Qinglian can think of such a method. If it is handed over to Shuizhu, she must not think of such a method.It seems that after things are done, she really needs to keep Qinglian by her side. One more smart maid can save a lot of trouble.I just don't know if my wife is willing to give up Qinglian to me.After all, she has quite a few maids in her hands.

"I'm listening to my wife's arrangement. I'll go to the temple tomorrow and ask carefully to see what the signs are." Qiao Liuxiu nodded, and slightly comforted his wife's heart. At that time, it was said that it will be auspicious and will soar into the sky, I think it should be the same this time, we are just asking for a guarantee this time."

"Yes." The wife nodded, but let out a sigh of relief, "I don't know, I just feel a little restless recently, do you think something big is going to happen?"

"I don't know either." Qiao Liuxiu shook her head, "Madam, don't worry, it must be a good thing if something happens. But I can't participate in the flower viewing party tomorrow, you must help me apologize to the elders, I will change Time to make a special trip to visit."

"That's right, that's right. I've written it all down. And let them find a good husband for my girl, right? Don't worry, I've written down all these things." The wife nodded slightly, and she felt very happy with Qiao Liuxiu in her heart. Still very satisfied.Qiao Liuxiu nodded, said goodbye and stepped back.But I was looking forward to what would happen tomorrow, but I was somewhat disappointed that I couldn't be there to see it in person.
