The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 135

Qiao Jiuxiu briefly explained Qiao Qixiu's idea to Ye Duanyi, and Ye Duanyi agreed very simply, and even praised Qiao Jiuxiu for having an idea.Qiao Jiuxiu didn't take the credit, but Qiao Qixiu said repeatedly that she didn't like to be in the limelight, and hoped that Qiao Jiuxiu would keep it a secret and not tell anyone that it was her idea. She knew that Qiao Qixiu had always kept a low profile when she was in Qiao's mansion, so Qiao Jiuxiu only I can let her go.

However, Qiao Jiuxiu is still thinking about finding a time for Qiao Qixiu and Ye Duanyi to meet alone, and the two of them can have a good talk, so that at least Ye Duanyi can have one more friend in Qiao's residence. Help out.

The dinner was carefully arranged by Ye Duanyi, and it was very successful. On that day, many dignitaries and dignitaries arrived, even the Ninth Prince and the Third Prince also sent congratulatory gifts to celebrate Master Qiao's promotion and the relocation of Qiao's house.The wife was very happy to rush in and out to greet the guests.Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi were not idle either, they also greeted the guests in the courtyard.Qiao Jiuxiu wondered why the Qiao Mansion had just moved to the capital, so why did it alarm the two princes?She doesn't find it strange that the Ninth Prince has been in contact with the Qiao Mansion, but who is the Third Prince?
She shared her doubts with Ye Duanyi, but Ye Duanyi smiled lightly. It turned out that she was thinking about this question, but by coincidence, she happened to be able to answer this question. "Ninth sister, it's like this. My father and the third prince are very close. They have been friends for many years. I married Qiao's mansion, so he naturally treats Qiao's mansion as his own family."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, so it was so.General Ye has been an official in the court for many years, and it is reasonable to have a lot of contact with the princes and nobles.

Without thinking too much, he took the seat with Ye Duanyi.The wife was accompanying the guests at the main table, and she sat beside Ye Duanyi and helped the wife entertain. Both she and Ye Duanyi sat on the left hand side of the wife, and on the right hand side, it was Qiao Liuxiu, look Mrs. Lai still values ​​her very much in her heart.

"Let's open the table." Master Qiao saw that almost everyone had arrived, so he stood up and said. "Today, I would like to thank all my friends for attending our dinner in spite of their busy schedules. Qiao is very grateful, and I hope everyone will have a good time later. If there is a place where the greeting is not good, please don't mind."

After Mr. Qiao finished speaking, his wife got up and said hello, nothing more than polite words of hope that everyone would eat and drink well. It's a first-class wine, but I probably can't bear it. Her drinking capacity has always been better than nothing, so it's better not to try it.

"Ninth sister, don't you dare to drink?" Ye Duanyi saw Qiao Jiuxiu's embarrassment, and smiled lightly. Although she is not very powerful, she can still resist after drinking a bowl of strong wine.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded helplessly. Ye Duanyi is a heroine, and she has been drinking all kinds of things since she was a child. How can she compete with her.

"No, I dare not, I can't." Qiao Jiuxiu laughed dryly, "My sister will be as she pleases later, and I can't accompany you anymore."

Ye Duanyi flattened her mouth in displeasure, it was too boring to drink without anyone to accompany her, she glanced at her wife again, forget it, she had better not drink today, lest she would be unhappy.I heard from Qiao Jiuxiu that my wife is a very traditional woman, and a traditional woman would not like that she can drink bars.

Just looking at the jar of wine in front of me, I felt a little uncomfortable. It was the 60-year-old daughter red. I missed this time, and I don’t know when I will be able to drink such pure daughter red next time.

"Sister Duanyi, you are the hostess of this dinner, and you should toast later, so it's okay to have a drink. Don't worry, my wife is not as rigid as you think." Qiao Jiuxiu whispered from the side.Ye Duanyi nodded again and again after hearing this, and smiled contentedly.

While drinking and drinking, the wife went to Ye Duanyi and sat down, "Duanyi, you did a great job at the dinner today, and all the guests are very satisfied."

It was the first time for Ye Duanyi to hear her wife's praise, her face was full of smiles, but she didn't dare to take the credit, "Madam, in fact, the ninth sister also helped me a lot in this matter. Or leave it to me to do it alone, really It's going to be confusing."

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled a little embarrassedly, "Ma'am, I just helped to give some advice, and the big decision is still made by the young lady. So the credit is all hers, and I dare not take the credit."

The wife nodded in satisfaction, patted Ye Duanyi on the shoulder, and looked at Qiao Jiuxiu with a smile, "You are all very good, we will work together in the future, and strive to manage Qiao's family better."

As soon as these words were said, many people tasted other flavors in these words.The wife's meaning just now is very obvious, that Ye Duanyi will be responsible for all the affairs of the Qiao family, and Qiao Jiuxiu will help Ye Duanyi take care of the affairs of the Qiao family, which means that the wife has recognized it to a certain extent. Qiao Jiuxiu's identity as the first concubine.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, thinking that she could finally not be bullied at Qiao's house.Qiao Liuxiu's face on the side was extremely pale. She originally thought that the number one concubine was hers, but Qiao Jiuxiu who broke out halfway snatched what should belong to her.

She gave Qiao Jiuxiu a bitter look, and she felt a cloud of anger in her heart, and she didn't know how to resolve it.

"What's wrong with the six girls?" The wife saw that Qiao Liuxiu was a little unhappy, obviously blaming herself for being partial to one another. Although Qiao Liuxiu felt uncomfortable, it was not easy to get angry in front of the wife. She saw that there was a very rich man behind her. The middle-aged woman could only stand up and smiled reluctantly, "Liuxiu has always been well, please worry about my wife."

"Come on, Liu girl, let me introduce you. This is the wife of Lord Runan's mansion. She is the master's younger sister. You can just call her aunt."

"Hello, aunt." Qiao Liuxiu nodded to Mrs. Lin and called out respectfully.

Mrs. Lin glanced at Qiao Liuxiu with great satisfaction, and said to the wife beside her, "As expected, she is a girl from the Qiao family. I also have some special research on Buddhist scriptures. Only your Qiao family can have such a good woman these days."

"No way, no way, your family's Yi is also very good. You are very good at the Four Books and Five Classics, Wen Tao and Wu Lue. By the way, what do you think of what I said last time?"

Both Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Liuxiu felt very strange, what did the wife say to Mrs. Lin last time?

Mrs. Lin nodded, "I think it's very good, very good. In the second half of the year, there will still be a lot of good days and auspicious days. Let's get things done sometime, so that the two families can get closer."

"Ma'am, what are you doing when you talk about doing business?" Qiao Liuxiu always felt that Mrs. Lin looked at her strangely, and asked with an uneasy heart.

"Of course it's your marriage with Zhiyi, otherwise can there be other things?" The wife chuckled, saw Qiao Liuxiu's face blushing, and said half-jokingly, "Why, don't like it, if you don't like it, then Forget it, I'll find another house for you someday."

"No, it's up to my wife to decide." Qiao Liuxiu buried her head lower, she was very happy to be able to marry Lin Zhiyi, but in front of his wife and Mrs. Lin, she still kept her little daughter's last shyness.Mrs. Lin smiled slightly, said she had other things to do, so she left first.

The wife waited for Mrs. Lin to leave before she said to Qiao Liuxiu, "Liu girl, you have spent the longest time with me, and I like you the most, so naturally I won't treat you badly. Woman, everything is false. Only marrying your favorite Mr. Ruyi is the most realistic. Although I didn't watch Lin Zhiyi grow up, I still know how he behaves. You will be happy when you are with him. "

Qiao Liuxiu nodded, the first concubine was just a title, Qiao Jiuxiu gave it to her if she liked it.My wife is right, a woman is the happiest in her life to marry a good man.Lin Zhiyi has always been the good husband she dreamed of, now that her wish is fulfilled, she is naturally full of joy, and the previous unhappiness is swept away.

Qiao Jiuxiu, however, sighed softly, she did not expect that his wife would let Qiao Liuxiu marry Lin Zhiyi, but Qiao Liuxiu's identity was a bit embarrassing, she was just the concubine of the Qiao family, and she was definitely not worthy of the eldest son of the Lord Lin's mansion, so she was afraid I can only be a concubine, and I don't know what kind of temperament the future master of the Lin family will have, and whether he will be angry after marrying.

Shaking her head slightly, she was thinking wildly about something, even if Qiao Liuxiu would be angry and bullied in the future, it had nothing to do with her at all, so she should worry about herself.I really don't know if my wife will call me one day, and then point myself to a man with a casual sentence.

Perhaps, it was a man she had never seen before.

Qiao Jiuxiu exhaled, she felt more and more that being a woman in such an era really made her feel powerless.Ye Duanyi saw Qiao Jiuxiu frowned and thought deeply, so she leaned over, "Ninth Sister, don't be envious, if you want to get married, I will ask my second brother to bring over the dowry gift tomorrow. You can ask how much dowry gift you want now gone."

Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at Ye Duanyi helplessly, her thoughts were always so naive, did she decide how much dowry this would cost?Moreover, Ye Yulang's sudden dowry should cause her a lot of trouble. "Young Mistress, just let me go, I want to stay with you in Qiao Mansion for two more years."

"Okay." Ye Duanyi flattened her mouth. She was just joking and didn't take it seriously.But the second brother really wants to serve some snacks. A girl as good as Qiao Jiuxiu will definitely be liked by many people.If you don't act quickly, I'm afraid it will be too late.
