The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 166 My wife asked me to enter the palace

When Qiao Jiuxiu led the people to the kitchen, it happened to be breakfast time. Uncle Wang had just prepared the ingredients for breakfast when they came over. Among these people, Uncle Wang was also close to Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Qixiu, although Qiao Jiuxiu Shanxiu and Qiao Wuxiu are also young ladies of the Qiao Mansion, but they get in touch very well on weekdays, so they only stop at meeting each other.

"Four ladies, what are you doing here this time?" Although Uncle Wang has never met Su Xiuniang, since he came here with Qiao Jiuxiu, and it seems that everyone respects her very much, he knows that she is not simple.He was able to rise up step by step in Qiao's mansion and become the chef all the way, so he still had the necessary foresight.Not only is this woman dressed luxuriously, but she also looks very extraordinary.

"This is your kitchen, so we are here to eat." Qiao Jiuxiu smiled at Uncle Wang, "By the way, what delicious food did you cook today, I can't wait to see it."

The few people on the side also nodded repeatedly. Uncle Wang was the happiest when someone said that the food he made was delicious, and he was also the most satisfied when people came to the kitchen to ask for food, so he went back to the kitchen happily and said that he would serve it to them later.

"Jiumei, I didn't say that you really enjoy eating in this kitchen." Qiao Shanxiu was half joking, without the slightest malice, Qiao Jiuxiu also smiled, isn't this just a way of saving face?

The four of them sat down at the small table outside the kitchen, tasted the snacks specially made by Uncle Wang, and drank small tea, feeling very comfortable.Su Xiuniang chatted with everyone about her experience in various parts of the capital, and heard that the women who were raised in deep boudoirs were all stunned.Su Xiuniang said in a low voice that she wanted to talk to Qiao Jiuxiu alone. It was about embroidery craftsmanship, and it was inconvenient to tell more people. Others expressed their understanding, lowered their heads, and continued to eat snacks.

"Embroiderer, do you have anything to tell me?" Qiao Jiuxiu knew that Embroiderer had always had her own opinions on embroidery craftsmanship. If she could give her advice, keeping her handiwork would improve her skills. Embroidery is a natural skill of hers, so she must keep improving it, otherwise she will be eliminated one day, and the problem will be serious.

"I heard that the third and fifth misses have some problems with you." Although Su Xiuniang is not from Qiao's residence, she is quite clear about the affairs of Qiao's residence.If she doesn't even have this ability, how can she enjoy herself in the capital?Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. She did not get along well with Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Wuxiu before, but this is a thing of the past after all. Now she just wants to be good sisters with them. Isn't that all right?

"Xiu Niang, what do you mean, I don't understand." Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Su Xiu Niang suspiciously, waiting for her next words.Su Xiuniang shook her head, signaled Qiao Jiuxiu not to be too anxious, and continued, "I have seen how you treated them just now. They are not kind to you, and you are willing to give away the carefully crafted embroidered handkerchief. Be silly."

"Xiu Niang, what you said is wrong." Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, "I do have some misunderstandings with my third and fifth sisters on weekdays, but they are getting married now, is it too much for me to give a little gift as a younger sister? Xiu Niang, I respect you teacher My knowledge of embroidery has always regarded you as my master, but what you said just now is a bit too much."

Su Xiuniang shook her head lightly, "I'm not saying you didn't do it right, I'm just curious. But I also want to tell you that it's your right to treat someone well, but you have to be careful, maybe One day, she will turn her face, don't regret it when the time comes."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, but she was no longer wary of Third Sister and Fifth Sister, and they were about to leave Qiao's mansion soon, so naturally it was impossible to harm her again.The unhappiness of the past, as they were about to leave, turned over gently like this.

Su Xiuniang shook her head slightly, in all fairness, Qiao Jiuxiu did nothing wrong, on the contrary, it made people like her a little more.Just as she was about to say a few more words, she saw Ruyi jogging over. Although Su Xiuniang seldom stayed in Qiao's residence, she knew that Ruyi was the servant girl by his wife's side.Qiao Jiuxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Miss Nine, it's good if you stay here, my wife told you to go over quickly, I have something important to tell you."

"With me?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned. She didn't know what the wife wanted to do with her. When she was hesitating, she was dragged away by Ruyi, "I'm sorry everyone, it's really my wife who has something urgent to find Miss Jiu. If you are so abrupt, Ruyi will apologize to you in the future." Ruyi has already said this, so naturally no one dares to blame her.Just watched Qiao Jiuxiu being taken away by Ruyi.

"Fifth sister, what do you think your wife is looking for Jiumei?" Qiao Shanxiu asked as she watched the two leave.Qiao Wuxiu also shook her head slightly, and suddenly changed her expression, "Should we tell Jiumei that Ruyi is from Qinglian, and let her be careful."

Qiao Shanxiu nodded, she must let Qiao Jiuxiu know about this matter, otherwise she might suffer a lot from this matter.But now that they are going to get married, and the sixth younger sister is dreaming of being a prostitute, she naturally won't be with Qinglian to deal with the ninth younger sister again. hand?
This is a question worth thinking about, but now Qiao Shanxiu wants to know why his wife is looking for Jiumei, and seeing Ruyi's appearance just now, she is obviously a little impatient.

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Ruyi helplessly, and she also wanted to know what Ruyi brought her here for.Ma'am, is there anything you want to find yourself?Qiao Jiuxiu seemed a little uneasy when she commented, so she quickly comforted her, "Miss Nine, don't worry, it's a good thing."

"A good thing?" Qiao Jiuxiu gave Ruyi a puzzled look. Could it be a good thing for this wife to find him?She tried her best to think back, and found that she couldn't think of what this so-called good thing meant.I can only look at Ruyi in puzzlement, hoping that she can continue to talk.

"The emperor was worried that Missy would become ill because of her family, and heard that Missy had a good relationship with Miss Jiu, so he asked you to enter the palace to meet Missy. Do you think this is a good thing?" Ruyi said with a smile, her face There is a faint smile on the face.Qiao Jiuxiu also nodded quickly, if this is the case, this is very rare good news.

It has been less than half a month since I saw Eldest Sister, so I am naturally longing for her. It seems that Eldest Sister should be living a very good life in the palace, even the question of homesickness has been taken into consideration, the Emperor probably likes Eldest Sister very much.So he hurriedly walked a few steps, "Since this is the case, then let's enter the palace as soon as possible."

"No hurry, no hurry, the carriage from the palace will arrive in the afternoon, and there are still three or four hours left." Ruyi quickly grabbed Qiao Jiuxiu, signaling her not to be too anxious.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Ruyi puzzled, since she was only entering the palace in the afternoon, why did she come over in such a hurry and didn't even give her time for breakfast?

"Ruyi, since I'm only going to enter the palace in the afternoon, can't you let me go later?" Qiao Jiuxiu complained slightly, the hibiscus osmanthus cake brought over by Uncle Wang just now was very delicious at first glance, it was a pity that she didn't eat it.

"Miss, it was my wife who told me to look for you now. Aren't you going to enter the palace? There are always some rules to tell you. You must know that the palace is no better than home. If you say a word wrong, you may be decapitated. The Qiao Mansion is humiliated, and maybe it will affect the eldest sister, so the wife must give a good warning."

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed helplessly, well, there are still more than three hours before the afternoon, and she can already predict what kind of long speech his wife will have.He could only twitch the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Then let's go quickly, and don't make my wife wait in a hurry."

Ruyi nodded, and led Qiao Jiuxiu to walk all the way into the wife's courtyard, and sure enough, she saw the wife standing in the room with a serious expression on her face.

Qiao Jiuxiu swallowed her saliva, even if she was reprimanded by her wife in order to be able to see her elder sister, she didn't mind.

"Jiu girl is here." The wife took a look at Qiao Jiuxiu and asked her to sit down. Qiao Jiuxiu gave Ruyi a nervous look, and then sat upright, trying her best to behave like a lady, but in her heart It was a complaint. Although the imperial palace is a very solemn place, the wife must have made a fuss over a molehill.

"I believe Ruyi has already told you about the fact that I asked you to come here, and you know why I came here, right?" The wife took a look at Qiao Jiuxiu, and asked without anger.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she had already heard about it from Ruyi. "Eldest sister said she wanted me to go into the palace to talk with her. Madam, don't worry, I will firmly remember what I shouldn't say and what I shouldn't look at. I must be cautious in my words and deeds, so as not to embarrass the Qiao Mansion."

Qiao Jiuxiu watched his wife's expression while talking, and she let go of her worry when she saw her nod her head.The wife cleared her throat, "Someone will drive the carriage outside the mansion in the afternoon, I don't care what you are like in Qiao's mansion on weekdays, when you go outside, you must be careful, what to say, what to do, You remember it all for me. The etiquette in this palace will not be clear for a while, I can only teach you some basics, and the rest will depend on your adaptability. Do you understand?"

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and then his wife began to preach all kinds of things, and even mentioned the question of whether to use the left foot or the right foot first when walking.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed helplessly, and could only try to remember what his wife said.There was a bit of slander in my heart, thinking that after I saw my eldest sister, I must complain to her and let her come in by herself, but it was not easy.

Of course, this is just a joke.
