The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 84 Asking God to Ask About Housewarming

The wife looked through the almanac and set the date of relocation as seven days later. During these seven days, everyone will not be free. From the young lady to the servant girl, there are many things to take care of.Qiao Wuxiu and Qiao Shanxiu are counting the trees and flowers in the courtyard, selecting rare species from them, and moving them to the capital with their roots and land.

"Why do you think my wife asked us to pick flowers and plant them? You must know that the climate in the capital is different from here. The flowers in Qiao's mansion are all rare treasures, and they are very pampered. Even if we go there, there is nothing we can do about it." Survive. Why waste so much energy?" Qiao Wuxiu complained while choosing.She has never studied flowers and plants, so she thinks this is a thankless job.

"Fifth Sister, you are wrong to say that." Qiao Shanxiu picked up a pot of orchids, "Just like this pot of orchids, it is called the Eight Star Annunciation, and it is a very rare species. It is said that there are only five in the whole country. Madam naturally hopes to stay in the Qiao Mansion forever, if it is ruined just because of a relocation, Madam will be very reluctant."

"That's true." Qiao Wuxiu nodded. Although it was winter, the eight-star annunciation was still in full bloom.Because the eight orchids in the Eight Star Annunciation have different meanings, symbolizing good luck.Such flowers are not only attractive to look at, but also very rare.That's why my wife pays so much attention to it.

"Third sister, I don't understand what you said. I don't want to know. You just tell me which flowers should be kept and which ones should be taken away. We have to hurry up. If the wife comes back, we haven't If it is selected, it may be a punishment." Qiao Wuxiu sighed slightly, this is really boring.

"Got it, got it." Qiao Shanxiu nodded, guessing that the wife should have just left the house now.My wife is going to offer incense in the temple today, and ask for a lottery by the way, to see when the relocation should start after seven days, which is the best.Qiao Liuxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu also went to the temple with their wives.

It is a great honor to be able to go to the temple to offer incense with my wife.It's a pity that the wife only has Qiao Liuxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu in her heart now, and she doesn't care about the remaining prostitutes at all.Qiao Shanxiu felt very uncomfortable. Logically speaking, she was the oldest of the concubines, and she was always well-behaved, but the wife always didn't notice her existence, and good things didn't happen to her.

She guessed that when the elder sister entered the palace, the position of the first concubine of the Qiao Mansion would be either Qiao Liuxiu or Qiao Jiuxiu, and she would definitely not have the chance.Wei Wei gritted her teeth, is she going to swallow this breath?Do you want to live in Qiao's house in obscurity for the rest of your life?Suddenly there was a voice in his mind.

"Are you willing to live like this forever?"

Wei Wei clenched her fists, she was not reconciled.There were two women standing in front of her, Qiao Liuxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu, she must find a way to drag them off the horse, and she could only be the number one concubine of the Qiao Mansion.

Qiao Jiuxiu stared fixedly at the carriage in front of his wife, it turned out to be a seven-passenger carriage, one must know that in Qiao's residence before, the highest courtesy was a six-passenger carriage.The more horses, the higher the status.Like seven carriages, it represents the most prominent status of Qiao Mansion.Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's strange expression, the wife shook her head slightly, "Jiu Yatou is wondering why there are seven carriages? The master is going to be an official in the capital soon, so it would be inappropriate to go out in the original carriage. This is a new one I ordered, and it looks pretty good."

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, it was not only good, it was simply majestic.At the same time, I was also a little moved and surprised. For my wife, six carriages felt shabby. Then she could only work as a one-horse carriage before going out. Isn’t that extremely shabby?Sure enough, people cannot be compared with people.

Because she wanted to worship God, she prepared a lot of things. The wife asked Qiao Liuxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu to go with her into the seven-horse carriage, and all the maids went to the third carriage at the back. The maids held all kinds of candles, ingots, and high fragrances. These things were prepared for Bodhisattvas, so we can't even neglect Bodhisattvas.

The Seven Horse Carriage is magnificent on the outside, but there is something special on the inside.Qiao Jiuxiu felt like she was in Grandma Liu in the Grand View Garden, no matter what she saw, she felt strange.Qiao Liuxiu snorted, probably because she couldn't get used to Qiao Jiuxiu's rustic appearance, "Jiumei, if I'm not wrong, this should be the first time you've taken such a nice carriage. Why don't you tell me about it?" What do you think."

Qiao Jiuxiu heard another meaning in this sentence.But it's hard to refute, she has never been in such a luxurious carriage, and she was qualified to ride a four-horse carriage only because she was honored by her eldest sister on the last trip.However, although there are only four carriages, it is much more comfortable than the current seven carriages.

"Liu Yatou means that you have been in a seven-seat carriage before?" the wife asked kindly.She naturally understood Qiao Liuxiu's target against Qiao Jiuxiu, but she didn't stop it or obviously favor one side, as if there was nothing wrong with letting them fight.Qiao Liuxiu hurriedly lowered her head, "Ma'am, I'm joking, when I usually go out, I usually only take a three-carriage carriage, let alone a seven-carriage carriage like this, even if I think about it when I'm dreaming, I've never been there before."

"At the end of the day, I still have to thank my wife, otherwise I wouldn't have such an opportunity." Qiao Liuxiu took the opportunity to flatter his wife, and the wife nodded, showing a very satisfied look. "Liu Yatou's mouth really looks like it's wrapped in honey."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip lightly, she lost another chance to please his wife, but she didn't bother to please her in that way.

The carriage stopped some distance away from the temple. Today is the Bodhisattva's birthday. Many people came here to offer incense. There were so many people that the road was blocked.The wife had no choice but to come down and walk.A group of servant girls followed behind, holding various things for worshiping Buddha in their hands.Qiao Jiuxiu turned her head and saw Jinxiu holding a tall incense that was more than one meter high.Shaking his head slightly, if this incense is lit, it will take less than three or five hours, and I am afraid it will not burn out.

But the temple hadn't opened yet, and a group of monks dressed as monks stood outside, as if they were waiting for some noble person.Qiao Jiuxiu heard someone ask the monks when the door would open. They got up before dawn, just to go in and burn the first stick of incense, hoping for peace and wealth.The monk snorted coldly and pushed the man back.

"I don't even look at who you are. You are the one who can use this first stick of incense. This first stick of incense can only be used by Mrs. Qiao's family."

Qiao's mansion is one of the most prominent families in the local area, and before the wife came here, she specifically told the temple here that she wanted to come to offer incense.It was a big deal for Mrs. Qiao to come to offer incense in person, so it was natural to reserve the first stick of incense for Mrs. Qiao to offer.The Qiao family is the patron, and they don't spare a small amount of money to please their wife. Naturally, there are a lot of rewards.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, they had just arrived and they could offer the first stick of incense, but those people stood outside for several hours, but they could only offer incense after them.It is said that Buddhism is a pure place, and Bodhisattvas have a normal heart and will save all living beings.But I didn't expect that it would still be contaminated by the smell of copper.

These days, it is true that power and power are king.

What's even more tragic is that after Miao Zhu said that sentence, the young man who was aggrieved just now calmed down, and then obediently stepped aside.The noisy crowd just now also fell silent, as if they had accepted the fact that Mrs. Qiao was going to offer the first incense stick.Although I feel a little unhappy in my heart, but I know that my arms can't twist my thighs, and my breath doesn't go well, so I can only bear it.

"Mrs. Qiao, are you here?" Miao Zhu's eyes were sharp, and he saw Carcass and his party and the magnificent seven-seater carriage behind them at a glance.That carriage was so majestic, many people stopped beside it, looked at it carefully, and said while looking at it, saying that they really don't know when they will be able to sit in such a carriage, and that as long as there is one chance, they will be able to ride in this carriage in this life. It's all worth it.

The wife didn't care about it, as if she let them do it. "I'm really sorry, I came out late, so I didn't delay the auspicious time."

"No, no. My wife came just in time." Miao Zhu said quickly, "By the way, let's offer incense. Only when the first stick of incense is burnt out can other benefactors pass."

Hearing this, Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly again. The stick of incense was more than one meter high and the width of a fist. It would probably take two or three hours to burn out.Those people are so pitiful, it is estimated that they will not be able to enter until the afternoon.But she could only think about it in her heart, and she dared not say it outright.If she really said it, the wife would definitely make it hard for her to go around.

"Look, those are the two young ladies of the Qiao family, they are really beautiful." Hearing someone talking about her, Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, feeling that she was not restraining you.Qiao Liuxiu didn't show any abnormality, but followed behind his wife, her appearance and expression didn't change much.

"In my opinion, I still prefer the one in the back. Although she is a little younger, she is born very beautiful. After two or three years, she will open up. She will definitely be a first-class beauty."

Qiao Jiuxiu's face flushed red all of a sudden.A subtle change finally appeared on Qiao Liuxiu's face.She is not happy, she is not happy why Qiao Jiuxiu can be praised, but she has become a foil.

Of course, in front of his wife, she did not show any abnormality.I heard another person say, "What kind of eyes do you have? I like the one in front, with red lips and white teeth, very pretty."

Qiao Liuxiu chuckled lightly, she liked what she said.
