The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 161
"Jiumei, do you know what my wife is going to announce tonight?" Qiao Shanxiu sighed, she thought Qiao Jiuxiu was still calm because she didn't know the news, otherwise how could she be able to laugh?One must know that some time ago she was the favorite to be promoted as a daughter-in-law, but she didn't expect Qiao Liuxiu to get it with this turn around.And all of this came somewhat too suddenly.

"I know." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, "Sixth Sister is going to be a prostitute, and the wife should announce this at the dinner later."

"Jiumei, you already know about this, why are you still laughing?" Qiao Shanxiu looked at Qiao Jiuxiu puzzled, "Aren't you jealous? If you didn't reject Cousin Zhiyi back then, and you were with him If we are together, you are now the wife of Lord Fu Shizi of Runan, this is the supreme happiness, if you marry again in the future, I am afraid that such a good thing will not happen."

"Third Sister, everyone has their own destiny, wealth and honor are in the sky." Qiao Jiuxiu smiled slightly, "Besides, I think the happiest thing in this life is to be with someone I like and like myself. As for his identity, it doesn't matter, as long as he It’s enough to treat me wholeheartedly.”

Qiao Jiuxiu spoke very sincerely, but Qiao Shanxiu sighed softly. Regarding Jiumei's thoughts, she felt that she would never be able to agree with her. The most important thing in this woman's life is to marry well. If she marries a poor man, Wouldn't we have to live those poor days in the future?Moreover, the sixth younger sister used to be the main wife this time, and her daughter will be the first daughter in the future, and the son will inherit the position of the eldest son. How can people not be envious of such treatment.

So she was almost sure that Qiao Jiuxiu just said that she didn't care, but she was actually envious to death in her heart, and she might have complained viciously, why didn't she have such a good life?As time passed, the wife finally appeared in the main hall, followed by Qiao Liuxiu, Qiao Liuxiu was dressed like a butterfly today, with a smug smile on her face, the smugness between her brows clearly said, I How is it so lucky.

The wife told everyone to sit down, Ye Duanyi sat on the left side of the wife, and Qiao Liuxiu sat on the right side of the wife. This seat clearly meant that Qiao Liuxiu's status in the mansion was already equal to that of Ye Duanyi. The girls could only sit properly according to their age, and Qinglian sat directly opposite Qiao Liuxiu, but she let out a sigh of relief.

Now that Miss Six is ​​soaring into the sky, she might not follow her to continue to compete with Qiao Jiuxiu.Now she is afraid that she hopes to stay in peace until the day she gets married, and then live like a fish in water in the Lord Runan's mansion.As for Qiao Jiuxiu, she probably isn't in the mood to deal with it now.

After coming over for a while, the dishes are basically ready, because Qiao Mansion is still increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, so most of the dishes at the dinner party are exquisite and simple, and they look special.But eating is not the point. What the wife wants to say before the meal is the point of the dinner. If it's just a simple meal, where and how to eat it, what's the point?

The wife cleared her throat, "Duanyi came to see me before, and said that the financial situation of Qiao Mansion has improved a lot recently, and there is a lot of surplus in hand. I would like to thank everyone for your help, and please rest assured. , the cramps are only temporary, and you will get more things when Qiaofu's economy gets on the right track."

Everyone nodded, knowing that this was just the wife's opening remarks, so they still focused on the wife, waiting for her to say the next thing.Although many of you here know that Qiao Liuxiu is about to become a prostitute, they are still waiting to get a definite answer from your wife.

The wife nodded and continued, "The wife of the son of the son of the Duke of Runan passed away unfortunately due to illness the day before yesterday. The master came to see me and said that he hoped that the sixth girl could be married as the son's wife. This is a happy event. I have no reason to refuse. However, Liu Yatou's identity is probably a bit embarrassing, so I am going to accept her today and let her be my daughter, that is, the daughter of Qiao's family, what do you think?"

"Miss Six is ​​talented, beautiful, and has a very good temper. She has always been a role model for all the ladies in the Qiao Mansion. Madam, your decision is really reasonable." Si Yiniang thought that this is a good opportunity to work together. The wife and Miss Six got close, so they quickly flattered and sighed.As soon as she set a precedent, many people took the opportunity to speak up and echoed, saying that Miss Six's promotion to be a concubine was destined and well deserved.

The wife smiled very satisfied. She knew that no matter what she said, no matter whether it was good or bad, there would always be a group of people in Qiao's mansion who would support her.They don't care what was said, but only who said it. Such a group of people can satisfy the wife's sense of superiority the most.

"However, I hope that Liu Yatou can stay with me for a longer period of time, and our Liu girl is still a child who has not grown up, so just stay with me for a while longer, and we will get married at the end of the year. It's not a problem, right?" asked the wife caressingly touching Qiao Liuxiu's hand, Qiao Liuxiu nodded sympathetically, saying that everything was in accordance with the arrangement of the wife, the wife shook her head slightly, only lamenting that the female university did not want to stay.

"It's just my wife. I really can't do my embroidery work well. As a regular wife, I'm even more worried that the wedding dress will disgrace the Qiao family." Qiao Liuxiu thought that maybe she could take this opportunity to ask his wife to tell Qiao Jiuxiu To make a wedding dress for herself, although she doesn't like Qiao Jiuxiu, she doesn't deny that her embroidery is very good.

"It's okay, it's okay." The wife glanced at Qiao Liuxiu, she naturally knew about this little girl's plan, but now Qiao Jiuxiu is busy making clothes for the elder sister, and knowing that the eldest sister is pregnant with a dragonborn, naturally she cannot neglect her at all. She doesn't dare to let Qiao Jiuxiu do other things now, "I will find you the best embroiderer in the capital. By the way, the Su embroiderer last time was quite good. It is said that the empress is married now. The outfit was made by herself."

Having already talked about this point, Qiao Liuxiu also understood what Madam meant, so she could only nod her head, "So, then follow Madam's arrangement."

The wife nodded. She likes Qiao Liuxiu because she is well-behaved and sensible. She always knows what to say and what not to say.

Of course, this is just in front of her, but the wife doesn't care how Qiao Liuxiu behaves behind her back.Wei Wei cleared her throat, "Since everyone has no objection to Liu Yatou's matter, then I have to tell everyone some good news."

Qiao Jiuxiu was startled, is there any good news?Why didn't Ruyi tell herself about it.

Everyone also looked at me and I looked at you. Obviously, they didn't know what good news they were talking about, but Mrs. Jian cleared her throat lightly, and then said, "I was thinking about this little sister, and I found it. As a sister, she naturally cannot fall behind, so I wondered if I should also find a marriage for the third girl and the fifth girl?"

Both Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Wuxiu buried their heads very low. They must have known about this matter, and judging from their expressions, they still had a lot of resistance to this matter.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at them, as if she was looking at her future self, wondering whether after a meal, the wife announced her life's destination in a normal chatting tone, and asked if we were willing or not .

If so, it would be too heartbreaking.

"I don't know who the madam is planning to betroth the two young ladies to?" Fourth Aunt asked flatteringly from the side.She was originally the maid of the wife, and married with the wife, and then served the wife diligently for many years, the wife liked it, so the master took her in.Fourth Yiniang has always respected his wife very much, so whenever his wife made a decision, she would definitely be the first to respond. As for whether the decision was right or wrong, she didn't care.

"It's the civil and military generals in the army," the wife said, raising her eyebrows here, obviously very proud. You must know that these two civil and military generals have some prestige in the court, and they can be regarded as the leaders of the dignitaries in Beijing. If you can marry them Getting married is naturally a beautiful thing.However, the two generals already have regular wives, so Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Wuxiu could only be concubines in the past this time. However, as a concubine of the Qiao family, being a concubine is considered a high priority, so the wife agreed so readily. , As soon as the engagement was over, I immediately agreed.

"Civil and military generals?" Although Qiao Jiuxiu had just arrived in the capital, Ye Duanyi grew up in the capital since she was a child, and had many contacts with big households in the capital. When chatting on weekdays, she heard her mention the two generals.It is said that General Wen is 35 years old this year, and he is very rough. He is stationed in the frontier all the year round, and he is only in the capital for about January every year.So the affairs of the family are all handled by the wife, Wang. It is said that she is a very powerful woman. She is famous in the capital for beating and scolding other wives and concubines at every turn.

General Wu is a little better, but he only has one eye because he was injured during the battle. He is currently responsible for the security of the capital and training recruits. He always thinks that home is a military camp, so he must follow military laws at home. If a wife or concubine makes a mistake, it will be dealt with by military law.It is said that he beat his ninth concubine to death only last month, and a life was only a small loss afterwards.

Although Qiao Jiuxiu didn't know what General Wenwu was like, she could tell from the rumors outside. I believe that Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Wuxiu also knew something about it, which is why they were as disappointed as they are now.But even if they are lost, they dare not tell their wife that they don't want to. This is their fate, a fate that they will never be able to get rid of.

"I heard that civil and military generals have both ability and integrity, and they are both talented and beautiful. The third lady and the fifth lady can form a good relationship with them. I really envy others." Fourth aunt praised the smile on the wife's face even deeper.But she didn't notice that Qiao Shanxiu was crying. She might be feeling emotional. They are also the daughters of the Qiao family. Why some became the emperor's concubine, favoring the holy family; ; but she can only marry a general who is more than a round older than herself, and there is a shrewd wife in the family, so she used to be only a concubine.

"Third girl, why are you crying?" The wife looked at Qiao Shanxiu with a serious tone, thinking about how she should smooth things over if she said something wrong later.

Qiao Shanxiu glanced at his wife, her eyes were red and swollen, but she gave a bitter smile, "Madam, I'm sorry, I'm so happy. My dream in this life is to marry a general who rides a tall horse standing in front of me. In front of me, I stretched out my hand. I always thought it was just a dream, but I didn’t expect it to come true today.”

Hearing what Qiao Shanxiu said, the wife breathed a sigh of relief, and then said in relief, "Okay, don't cry, this is a happy event. Of course I know what you are thinking about. You said this is a mother. Naturally, your wish will come true.”
