The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 130

The two chatted some gossip again, but Jinxiu knocked on the door and came in. Jinxiu glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi with some embarrassment, and hesitated to speak.Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange, Jinxiu seldom showed such an expression like now, she must have encountered something. "Jinxiu, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

Jinxiu didn't speak, but just looked at Ye Duanyi in embarrassment, Ye Duanyi understood Jinxiu's meaning, got up and went to the back room.Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, did Jinxiu treat Ye Duanyi as an outsider?But what was she going to say to herself?Why did you deliberately push Ye Duanyi away?

"What, Jinxiu, did something happen?" Qiao Jiuxiu asked worriedly.

"The madam asked the miss to go back to Qiao's mansion, and told you to go back because something happened at home." Jinxiu lowered her voice, "When I left, the madam had a strange expression on her face, neither angry nor not angry, in short, hurry up Let's go back."

"What exactly happened?" Qiao Jiuxiu lowered her voice, she wanted to get some necessary information from Jinxiu first, so that she wouldn't get confused later, otherwise it would be easy to piss off the wife because of a wrong word in front of her Not happy, and this time my wife came here specially to let her go back, so something big must have happened.

"The young master is going to take Qinglian to fill in the house." Jinxiu said in a low voice, it was not because she thought Ye Duanyi was an outsider, but because she was about to marry into Qiao's family, and now the young master unexpectedly I'm going to marry another woman to be a house-filling maid.It must have dealt a certain blow to her.

Qiao Jiuxiu stared blankly at Jinxiu, what was going on, she didn't even know when Qinglian had a relationship with her elder brother.I don't know exactly what's going on now.I can only tell Ye Duanyi that I have something to go back to Qiao's mansion first.Ye Duanyi nodded, got up and sent Qiao Jiuxiu out the door.Then she thought that the buckle was not embroidered stably, so she pressed a few more stitches, but she didn't want to hurt her fingers. Looking at the blood coming out of the bath, Ye Duanyi sighed softly. Not suitable.

Sitting in the carriage, Qiao Jiuxiu's heart was still fluctuating, she asked Jinxiu to tell her what happened in detail, so that she could be prepared.Jinxiu nodded, "Miss, the thing is like this. Today, the young master suddenly told his wife that he wanted to take Qinglian to fill the house. Because Qinglian used to be a second-class maid with the eldest sister, and the wife also met Qinglian a few times before. I thought she was a very smart woman, and it was only a trivial matter for my eldest brother to fill in the house, so I agreed. I just said that I would wait until after marrying Ye Duanyi, but my eldest brother said that I hope it can be done in one day."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Qiao Jiuxiu understood the important point of Jinxiu's words. She doesn't want to know why her elder brother fell in love with Qinglian. She just wants to know why her elder brother must marry Qinglian together the day after tomorrow. .

"Qinglian has a baby with big brother. It should be about a month now." Jinxiu let out a sigh, so big brother thought about doing it together, fearing that Qinglian's belly would not be able to cover up after a while.Qiao Jiuxiu felt a little strange, the eldest brother has always been pure-hearted and ascetic, how could he care so much about Qinglian?And he likes Qinglian, why didn't he see it before?And Qinglian also disagreed with herself.

"It's not a big deal." Qiao Jiuxiu thought in her heart, "Even if the marriage is arranged on one day, Qinglian will fill in the house, and she doesn't have to visit the hall, and she doesn't have to meet the guests. She just puts on her wedding dress and waits for her elder brother in the room. .And one day, isn't Qinglian going to stay in the empty room alone?"

"I don't know about that." Jinxiu shook her head, "The wife only said that the young lady should go back, one is to deal with this matter, and the other is to prepare for the relocation tomorrow, we will move to a new home tomorrow, I heard that this time The house is very beautifully built."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, the price for a beautiful repair is to spend a lot of money.I don't know if the Qiao family has that much money to afford the expenses.Moreover, marrying Ye Duanyi through the family will probably cost a lot of money.

Jinxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu entered the main hall one after the other, and found that everyone had arrived, including the fourth young master and aunts who rarely showed up. She found her place and hid in the crowd.

The wife sat on the main seat, and Qinglian stood under the hall anxiously. The wife nodded slightly, "Qinglian, I think you have always been well-behaved, so I will let Shaotang take you in as a house filler. Time is coming. It will be the day after tomorrow, and Qinglian will be the wife of the Qiao family in the future, so she won't have to do the work of servants."

Qinglian quickly thanked her wife for her kindness.Qiao Jiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, she was actually quite afraid that his wife would blame Qinglian.Of course, she also wanted to know what happened to Qinglian and her eldest brother, why did they suddenly fall in love with each other?

"The second thing," the wife cleared her throat slightly, "tomorrow is the day for the collective relocation of the Qiao Mansion. By tomorrow, someone will come over and help you move things, and then you will live in the new yard. The big things have already been moved there first. When we leave tomorrow, just take some small things with us. Ruyi, tell them who will live in the east wing and who will live in the west wing after moving over."

Ruyi nodded and read the list roughly.According to the previous rules of the Qiao Mansion, all aunts and concubines who are close to their wives or have status can live in the East Wing, while others can only live in the West Wing.There are also obvious differences in monthly subsidies and supplies between East and West.Qiao Jiuxiu thought that she should be the same as before, only the possibility of living in the West Wing.But he didn't expect to hear his name in a series of lists that could live in the East Wing.

She widened her eyes in surprise, but she never thought that she would have the possibility of living in the East Wing.Moreover, there were only her and Qiao Liuxiu who could live in the East Chamber.

The concubines suddenly understood, the wife's intention was obvious, she clearly wanted to choose one of Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Liuxiu to be the first concubine of the Qiao Mansion, and then help manage the affairs of the Qiao Mansion.This is a good job, but it has nothing to do with them now.Although I was a little bit unwilling in my heart, I still didn't show it. After all, it's better not to go too far in front of my wife.

Qiao Shanxiu looked at Qiao Jiuxiu unhappily, she felt very uncomfortable, why Qiao Jiuxiu can live in the East Wing, but she can only live in the West Wing, she is obviously the oldest among the concubines, according to reason , this first concubine should also be hers.Qiao Liuxiu has always been a favorite of his wife, she has nothing to say, but Qiao Jiuxiu is just better at embroidery and has a sweeter mouth, what ability does she have to be the first concubine?
The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, thinking of Qinglian who gave her advice before, she must ask her for advice in private later.

After the wife gave her orders, she let the crowd disperse.Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly understood that his wife asked her to come back just to let her hear how she handled these two things, and then give herself a reason to leave the Ye family.Ye Duanyi is going to marry into Qiao's family soon, so it's unreasonable for her to stay in Ye's family again and again.Before, because of Ye Duanyi's repeated requests, my wife had no choice but to let me stay there for two days, but now I found a reason and recruited myself back.

If she had known that his wife had such a plan, she would not have thought about it. You must know that in the carriage, there was no shortage of cold sweats.

"Qinglian, wait for me." Qiao Jiuxiu saw Qinglian standing not far away, so she hurriedly went up to her, because Qinglian was no longer a servant of the Qiao family, so she also got a set of courtyards. It's just in the West Wing, but for the maid, it should be a dream she has never had before to have a separate courtyard one day.

"Miss Nine, what do you want from me?" Qing Lian turned around, thinking that after the day after tomorrow, she would not have to call Miss Qiao Jiuxiu, and instead she would say "Sister Nine".Finally, she is no longer a servant of Qiao Mansion, she should be regarded as the master of Qiao Mansion now.

"Qinglian, I want to know what happened between you and your eldest brother. Why did you suddenly have his child? And it's been almost a month. Why haven't you mentioned it to me?"

Qinglian sighed softly, "Miss Nine, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but that I really don't know how to tell you. About a month ago, it was Yuzhi's birthday, and I stood by the lake for her Worship, met the young master, the young master touched the scene and was hurt, and regarded me as a jade, and then talked with me for a long time, and when he was about to finish, he actually kissed my lips..."

Qinglian blushed, and rubbed the corner of her skirt with some embarrassment, "In the next few days, the eldest and young master will come to see me, sometimes just to have a look or two, if we are free, we will talk A word or two. Miss, you should know that the eldest young master is a very attractive man, so I can't restrain my liking for him. But I have been worried all the time, I don't know whether he likes me or likes the jade on me A shadow."

"And then, we had the first time, and then I found out that I had his child..." Qinglian said in a lower voice, "Miss Jiu, you won't be angry. It's not that I didn't tell you, it's just that the young master said this No one should know about the matter. I have no choice but to go against his wishes."

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, "Qinglian, I'm not angry, I'm just a little surprised. But fortunately, my wife agreed to the matter between you and elder brother. I'm afraid that what happened to Pearl will happen to you again."

"Miss, don't worry. I'm different from Pearl. Pearl is restless. My wife knows that filling the house can't satisfy her, so she let her die. Qinglian keeps her own life, and my wife will give me a good way out."

Hearing what Qinglian said, Qiao Jiuxiu was also slightly relieved.It's just that Qinglian suddenly chuckled, does she seem to be a quiet person?
