The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 156
After Hongxiu collected the information, he led everyone outside the kitchen. Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Hongxiu helplessly. What were they doing in the kitchen?I heard Hongxiu say, "I checked Aunt Qiaoyu's information and found that she is very particular about food. She only eats one dish per meal a day, but she has to cook it herself. My wife also agreed to let her cook a small stove by herself. Since Aunt Qiaoyu is so particular about food, we can start here."

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Hongxiu helplessly, this is indeed a solution that only foodies can come up with, even if Qiaoyu likes food, she shouldn't follow her just for a meal.And will this handle be too obvious?She couldn't believe that Qinglian never noticed. "Hongxiu, Qiaoyu has always been impeccable in her affairs. If she can be dismissed with just one meal, then it's not Qiaoyu."

Hong Xiu pursed her mouth, as if what the lady said was very reasonable, but what should be done now.She asked a lot of people today, but she just couldn't ask many things related to Qiaoyu. She seemed to have no handle at all, and there was only one breakthrough.Qiao Qixiu frowned slightly, "Maybe we can really start from this place, of course it's not just cooking a delicious meal for Qiaoyu. We need to think about it, Qiaoyu is not particular about everything , as long as other people like it, they can take it at will, but they are so particular about food that even the chef of Qiao's family can't satisfy it, there must be something in it."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, Seventh Sister is really powerful, you can see the key from this seemingly ordinary clue at a glance, she is really very powerful, so she took Qiao Qixiu's hand, "Seventh Sister, what do you think we are going to do now? Only then can the inside story be discovered.”

Qiao Qixiu bit her lip lightly. Although she knew it was a good clue, how to use it became a very big problem. But first, she needed to figure out what kind of food Qiaoyu was doing, and then she could be sure of the clue. what a story.They don't know the answer to this question, but they believe that there is one person who knows the answer.So Jinxiu went into the kitchen and called out Uncle Wang who was cooking.

Uncle Wang knew that Jinxiu was Qiao Jiuxiu's maid, so he didn't dare to be negligent, and ran over without even taking off his apron, "Miss Jiu, what brought you here? Or are you here to ask me about my situation? Since the kitchen began to reduce the supply, it can save two taels of silver every day, which is 60 taels a month. Don’t look at just one person missing one or two dishes, but the sum of hundreds of people at the foot of Qiaofu Mountain is still very large .”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. The kitchen did a good job, but she didn't come here to ask about it. Last time after the wife punished herself, she left all the work to Ye Duanyi, and said she didn't need to help, just concentrate on doing it Good little clothes.Naturally, she had no choice but to stop asking about this matter. "Uncle Wang, I came here today because I have another matter to ask you, but I'm a bit uncomfortable with this question."

"Miss Nine, just tell me. You helped us so much before, and we are all family members. If you have any problems, you can't talk about it." Uncle Wang is a rough person, and Qiao Jiuxiu took good care of him in the kitchen before. Everyone in the room liked Qiao Jiuxiu very much, so they naturally regarded her as one of their own.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, "Okay, then I'll say it directly."

"Qiaoyu?" After listening to Qiao Jiuxiu's question, Uncle Wang thought for a while, "I know Qiaoyu's habits, she likes to cook all kinds of Sichuan dishes, such as mapo tofu, boiled pork slices, spicy Rabbit or something, in short, the spicier the better, and the stronger the taste, the better, once she invited me to taste it, oh, that taste is really exciting."

"Sichuan cuisine?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, so it wasn't Aunt Qiaoyu who was picky.Because Qiao's mansion is mostly people from the southeast coast, they mainly eat light food, even when they arrive in the capital, the taste has not changed much.So the cook in the house is good at Cantonese cuisine, but not at Sichuan cuisine.Therefore, Qiaoyu can only cook Sichuan cuisine in a small stove by herself, but Hongxiu's information does not say that Qiaoyu is from Shu, why does she have such a deep affection for Sichuan cuisine?

"It's just, why does Qiaoyu like to cook Sichuan cuisine?" Qiao Qixiu on the side quickly discovered the point, but she asked very carefully, as if she was talking to herself.Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, she also wanted to know the answer to this question.

"I know this." Uncle Wang's words made several people interested. Uncle Wang has worked in Qiao's mansion for more than 20 years, so he naturally knows a lot of things. Maybe he can tell them a big secret so that they can Find Qiaoyu's weakness.But every individual has his own weakness, if he can hit it with one hit, then naturally he will get twice the result with half the effort.So he hurriedly said to Uncle Wang excitedly, "Uncle, tell me quickly what is going on."

"Qiaoyu is already 35 and six years old this year. According to the regulations of Qiao's mansion, generally maids can freely choose to leave after the age of 25, and they can also get a very generous severance package. Qiaoyu has been working as a maid since she entered the mansion. The wife's maid is diligent and diligent, and the wife also likes it very much, and told Qiaoyu more than once that she hopes she can stay and spend more time with me."

"However, Qiaoyu was actually unwilling in her heart. At that time, she already had a man she liked, a merchant from Sichuan and Sichuan. Qiaoyu hoped that when she could officially leave Qiao's mansion, he would take her away. But he didn't expect that in the last two months, the man fell seriously ill and needed a lot of expenses. Qiaoyu had no choice but to ask his wife. The wife saw how pitiful Qiaoyu was, so she agreed. But I hope Qiaoyu can work for another three months before leaving, because my wife is really used to Qiaoyu's care."

"Later, the man died of illness, and Qiaoyu stayed in Qiao's mansion in the end. It's just that after so many years, I still can't forget him, so I still eat mainly Sichuan cuisine, just to remember that man."

After listening to Qiao Jiuxiu, she was quite moved. Although Uncle Wang's words were very plain, she could feel Qiaoyu's liking for that man, otherwise she wouldn't be obsessed with it. Persistence for more than ten years is not an easy task. things.It's just that Qiaoyu likes Sichuan cuisine just to remember someone, so how should she start?She knew that she was not righteous enough to win over Qiaoyu like this, but she also had too much helplessness in order to survive in Qiao's mansion.

"Miss Jiu, why do you suddenly want to ask about Qiaoyu?" Uncle Wang asked strangely.Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, it's not that she doesn't trust Uncle Wang, but she just thinks it's better not to let anyone know about it before it's done.Moreover, she is helpless now, and feels very uncomfortable in her heart. She doesn't know how to persuade Qiaoyu, so let's let this matter go for now.

So I bid farewell to Uncle Wang, and everyone returned to their small yard. Ye Duanyi was settling accounts, and when she saw everyone coming in, she quickly got up to greet her, "Seventh Sister, Ninth Sister, why did you come back? Did you ask anything?" ?”

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, and told Ye Duanyi the story of Qiaoyu's youth again. Ye Duanyi's eyes were slightly red and swollen after listening to it, "This is really a touching story, but the ending is too sad, you It has been so long since this incident, does Qiaoyu still miss that man from back then?"

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed slightly, I'm afraid there are still some, I like it a little, once I like it, it will last a lifetime, no matter what happens, there is no way to forget it, sometimes it will even become a habit unconsciously , even the parties themselves did not find out.

"It's just that if this is the case, how should we start? I mean, how can we make Qiaoyu ours?" Ye Duanyi asked with a frown. She really didn't know what to do.Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Qixiu were at a loss as well. They knew about Qiaoyu's past and had all the information about her, but they didn't know what to do, so what should they do.

"Do you think Qiaoyu wants to forget him, or do you want to remember him forever?" Qiao Qixiu asked suddenly. Can continue to explain, "Qiaoyu wants to remember him forever, but that will only make her suffer, but she wants to forget, but she is afraid of not being able to bear it. Maybe, after we really understand what she wants, we can make her a Our people are gone."

After Ye Duanyi listened, she nodded again and again, "Seventh Sister is right, there is no way to grasp Qiaoyu's handle, we can only use emotion and reason, so it is very important to understand what she wants. "

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, it seems that she should find a time to have a good talk with Qiaoyu, her eloquence is good, but whether there is a way to persuade Qiaoyu, this is another question worth pondering.

Jinxiu asked worriedly while helping Qiao Jiuxiu tidy up her clothes. "Miss, are you sure you can handle Aunt Qiaoyu? Otherwise, let's talk about it when Miss Seven comes back." Qiao Qixiu went to talk to Qiao Wuxiu, saying that although she didn't know if she could persuade her, she still had to do kung fu. , and she doesn't mind letting Qinglian know that they are planning to poach corners, maybe this will cause instability within the Qinglian Group.Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, it's better to come out on her own, so that she can appear more sincere.
