The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 164

"I'm not interested." Qinglian smiled lightly, "I just want to talk to Liu Mei about one thing. Your future husband seems to have always had a soft spot for Jiu Mei. Are you not afraid to call him brother-in-law in the future?" She deliberately said the word "brother-in-law" very emphatically, and Qiao Liuxiu's expression turned pale.

"What do you mean by that." Qiao Liuxiu suppressed the panic in her heart, trying her best to make herself look calm, no different from usual.

"Literally." Qinglian knew that Qiao Liuxiu's heart must be in chaos now, because everyone in the Qiao family knew that Lin Zhiyi and Qiao Jiuxiu had an ambiguous relationship. If Qiao Jiuxiu hadn't insisted repeatedly, Lin Zhiyi would have married Qiao Jiuxiu into the family early on. .

"Qinglian, what do you mean?" Qiao Liuxiu's voice finally became flustered, "I tell you, Jiumei told me that she doesn't like Cousin Zhiyi at all, otherwise why would she reject him in the first place?" Where's Cousin Yi?"

"It's different now." Qinglian shook her head slightly, "Now that Lin Zhiyi's main wife is dead, she married into the Lord's mansion, and she will be the wife of the prince. Ninth sister is not stupid, so she might give up? If she wants to marry Lin Zhiyi now Say you like it, do you think you still have a chance?"

Qiao Liuxiu fell down on the chair, but she didn't speak, her face became paler and paler.

However, Qinglian let out a sigh of relief, she was secretly proud, Qiao Liuxiu's expression was right, it showed that she still feared Qiao Jiuxiu in her heart, as long as she felt that Qiao Jiuxiu was a threat to her, she would join hands with her to deal with her together.In this way, she won't be fighting alone, and with Qiao Liuxiu's current status, I'm afraid there will be more fools on her side.

It can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and it is possible to survive from a desperate situation.

Ruyi also sighed slightly at the side, Qinglian is really powerful, she grasped the key point in one sentence, and completely silenced Miss Six who was still domineering just now.This trick came too powerful.Qiao Liuxiu took a deep look at Qinglian, and finally nodded, "Okay, tell me what I should do."

Qinglian must have other purposes for coming here at this time.

What Qinglian was waiting for was this sentence, "I don't need to do anything right now. I just hope that Sixth Sister will remember that we have a common enemy."

Qiao Liuxiu nodded, she had no objection to this point.

Seeing that Qinglian had expressed all the positions she wanted to express, she left with Ruyi.Ruyi's admiration for Qinglian increased a bit, and she felt even more fortunate that she chose Qinglian in the first place.

Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Qixiu were busy last night together until after the third watch before taking a nap on the bed.The two little girls slept cuddled up against each other, but in fact they both slept very lightly.Qiao Jiuxiu dreamed that his wife betrothed herself to a large family in the capital at a dinner party. Although she had a high position and authority, she was already in her forties and had a daughter-in-law of seven or eight families. She cried and made trouble and hanged herself. He tried all kinds of tricks with all his strength, trying to make his wife take back her life, but the wife tied herself to the sedan chair, and then went all the way to the man's house.

This dream was so real that it woke Qiao Jiuxiu up alive.Wiping the sweat off her forehead, she looked at Qiao Qixiu, who was still sleeping soundly, and let out a soft breath, "It's okay, it's okay, it's all just a dream, if it's true, wouldn't it be worse than life?" do you died?No, in order to prevent this tragedy from becoming a real reality, she must escape.

Escape from Qiao Mansion?She was taken aback by her sudden thought.But she is just an ordinary woman, she has nothing good except good embroidery work.And once she leaves Qiao's residence, the wife will definitely blame Jinxiu, Hongxiu and other maids.How could she let others be punished because of herself?And running away is a cowardly act, she should learn to face it and fight for it.

Since she couldn't fall asleep, Qiao Jiuxiu simply got up, thinking of going for a walk in the yard to relax.Because the sky had just dawned, she walked all the way without seeing anyone. It was already the season of the vernal equinox, and almost all the flowers in the courtyard were in bloom, competing for beauty. It was very beautiful.Looking at those flowers, Qiao Jiuxiu only felt that her mood had improved slightly.

"Miss Nine?" Suddenly an uncertain voice sounded behind her, Qiao Jiuxiu turned around, and saw that it was Su Xiuniang.Then she nodded, yes, my wife said at the dinner yesterday that Sixth Sister's wedding dress was made by the best embroiderer in the capital, so it was very reasonable for Su embroiderer to appear in this place.But it's a little early now, how could she be so active?
"Don't look at me like that." Su Xiuniang shrugged her shoulders helplessly, "My wife and I made an appointment to come here around noon, but we thought that the Qiaofu Landscape Garden would be interesting, so we came early and wanted to stroll around , I wonder if Miss Jiu is interested in accompanying me?"

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, although she was greedy for the quietness of one person, but as far as viewing flowers is concerned, multiple people are also good.So the two of them took a walk in the garden together, Qiao Jiuxiu thought about finding some topics to talk about so that the journey would not be too lonely, but she really didn't know what to say.But since Su Xiuniang is the best embroiderer in the capital, she must be very interested in talking about embroidery work.

"By the way, Xiu Niang, what kind of fabric, silk thread, and style will you use to make the wedding dress for Sixth Sister this time?" Qiao Jiuxiu said, "I think the wedding dress I want to make must be very beautiful, maybe when the time comes It can be passed down as a good story in the capital."

"No." Su Xiuniang shook her head lightly. Originally, she didn't have to accept Qiao Liuxiu's wedding dress, because with her status in the capital, she could not refuse only the royal family's request to make clothes. By virtue of her personal preferences.But considering that Qiao's life has been living like a fish in water recently, she is also suspected of being close, so she will continue with this job. As for the workmanship, she has never thought about excellence. Since the embroidered clothes are only made for the purpose of completing the task, how can it be possible? Will it be a good story?

"Why not?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned. Although she had never seen Su Xiuniang's real embroiderer, she could see from the last time she gave her advice that she had her own views on female celebrities, and she would definitely make other embroidery workers The embroiderer looked at her neck and back.

"Because I didn't intend to do it seriously." Su Xiuniang sighed, "I just used ordinary red silk cloth, and then matched it with gold and silver threads to embroider peonies and mandarin ducks in a neat way, and the cutting method was also in accordance with the most traditional way." To make the wedding dress, I thought that would be it.”

Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback, it was so simple?I don't know why she heard a perfunctory feeling from Su Xiuniang's tone, and she couldn't help but frowned deeply, "Xiuniang, how are you doing? If you smashed the number one sign in the capital, what should you do?" What to do?"

Su Xiuniang smiled lightly, she knew that Qiao Jiuxiu was smart and very simple, which was exactly the same as when she was young, never knowing that some words should be hidden in the heart, rotten in the mouth, it is better not to say it.It's like what she just said is right in itself, and it must be harmless for her to say that, but it is easy to cause a misunderstanding, which makes people feel comfortable.She doesn't care about this sentence, but if she meets someone who cares about it, wouldn't she be offending him?

Living in this world, the most taboo thing is to have one more enemy and one less friend. Therefore, the necessary caution in words and deeds is something that a wise person must learn.

Seeing that the expression on Su Xiuniang's face was a bit strange, Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip and asked a little uneasily, "Xiuniang, did I say something wrong? If I said something wrong, don't take it to heart."

"You're not wrong." Su Xiuniang shook her head, "It's just that you shouldn't say this."

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled awkwardly, sure enough she said the wrong thing.She thought that she and Su Xiuniang should be regarded as friends, and there was no need to have so many taboos when talking between friends, but she never thought that she would cause trouble when she opened her mouth, but judging by Su Xiuniang's appearance, she probably didn't take it to heart superior.Su Xiuniang shook her head lightly, "Miss Jiu doesn't have to take it too seriously, as long as you remember what you should say and what you shouldn't say in the future, you won't suffer any disadvantages. Talk less and do more, so as to avoid being affected."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, what Su Xiuniang said was indeed the same reason.But since Su Xiuniang doesn't mind, then she will continue to ask the question just now, she really wants to know the answer, why does Su Xiuniang have to perfunctory this job?She is already the best embroiderer in the capital, and many big families want to give her three points of favor. Can't she just do what she likes now?
So he continued to ask, "I know Su Xiuniang doesn't mind, but as for the question just now, you don't have to do it if you don't like it, no one can force you."

"Miss Nine, that's not what I said." Su Xiuniang shook her head slightly, "In your opinion, I can drop this matter today and only do what I like to do. But have you ever thought about my rejection? If I lost my wife, my wife will hold a grudge, and it may not have any effect on me now, but what if the Qiao family becomes powerful in the future, and my wife wants to settle accounts with me? So leave a thread in everything, and to give others a step is to give yourself back road."

"It's really good of you to say that." Qiao Jiuxiu felt sincerely, she felt that her biggest shortcoming was that she didn't know how to be a human being.In the final analysis, she still needs to study hard about how to behave in order to avoid future disadvantages.The two chatted for a few more words, and Qiao Jiuxiu found that Su Xiuniang was obviously different from ordinary embroiderers. She seemed to know a thing or two about poetry, poetry, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and she looked like a lady of everyone than herself. If it wasn't for preconceptions Knowing that she is the best embroiderer in the capital, otherwise Qiao Jiuxiu would definitely think that she is the daughter of a rich family.

She told Su Xiuniang what she had discovered, although it was in a complimenting tone, but Su Xiuniang's expression was very embarrassed, she shook her head slightly, as if she was muttering to herself, "There are some things that cannot be avoided. "

"Huh?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Su Xiuniang in confusion. For some reason, she always felt that there was a big secret hidden in her heart, but she had no motive to pry into this secret. After all, everyone has a unique ability. It's your own space.Su Xiuniang let out a sigh of relief. Originally, she wanted to bury this matter in her heart until the day when she was old and passed away, but Qiao Jiuxiu mentioned it today, which made her have a strong desire to put this matter to rest. Tell others.So she nodded, "Miss Jiu, would you like to hear me tell a story?"

"Huh?" Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she had no intention of prying into Su Xiuniang's secret, but since she wanted to say it, she was naturally willing to listen.

"I am the daughter of a concubine from a large family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. When I was 17 years old, my mother arranged a marriage for me. I didn't like it, so I ran away overnight and finally arrived in the capital. I suffered a lot during my time, but gradually gained a certain reputation. Five years ago, the emperor asked me to design a wedding dress to marry the queen, which made me famous and became the number one embroiderer in the capital. At that time, I left home It's been 12 years."
