The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 18

"Miss, miss, get up quickly." But Jinxiu walked into Qiao Jiuxiu's room early in the morning, holding a bowl of steaming noodles in her hand, Qiao Jiuxiu rubbed her eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked at Jinxiu in a strange way With a glance, "Jinxiu, why do you want to make noodles? I don't want to eat noodles."

Qiao Jiuxiu is exactly the same as the previous master in this respect, she doesn't like to eat noodles, and always feels that the noodles are a bit interfering, and the feeling of eating is not very good.Didn't Jinxiu always know her own taste?Why do you still have to eat noodles for yourself?
Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu's doubts, Jinxiu said, "Miss, I know you don't like noodles, but this is longevity noodles, you should eat some, because today is your birthday."

"Birthday?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned. Is today her birthday?Forget it, Jinxiu said yes, anyway, this birthday is probably as deserted as usual, with so many people in this house, Jinxiu may be the only one who knows that today is her birthday.

Since it's my birthday, I have to eat longevity noodles.Unexpectedly, as soon as she took a bite, Qiao Shixiu hopped and trotted in, holding a small box in her hand.Before Qiao Jiuxiu could look up, Qiao Shixiu had already stuffed the box into her arms, "Ninth sister, happy birthday."

Qiao Jiuxiu was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that she would still remember her birthday, and opened the gift box, inside lay Qiao Shixiu's favorite snacks and candies.Qiao Jiuxiu smiled without thinking too much, "Thank you sister, I like this gift very much. Jinxiu, pour tea for my sister."

Jinxiu nodded, she had just served a cup of tea for Qiao Shi Xiuman, when she heard footsteps, Qiao Shanxiu had also arrived.Qiao Shanxiu also has a gift for Qiao Jiuxiu, which is a very unique brooch.Qiao Jiuxiu smiled even more happily. It turns out that so many people remember her birthday, which is great.

"Third Sister, Tenth Sister, my house is only a little big. The weather is fine today, so let's go outside." Qiao Jiuxiu's room is a bit small, and compared to other sisters, it's a bit shabby.Qiao Shanxiu and Qiao Shixiu nodded, and the three of them walked out, followed by a few servant girls.

Before she could say a word of gossip, Qiao Wuxiu arrived in a hurry, and took out a hairpin from her bosom, "It's my sister's birthday today, and my sister has nothing to give, so I'll give this to you."

Qiao Jiuxiu took the hairpin mechanically, when did Qiao Wuxiu talk to herself so politely, and didn't she always dislike herself?What are you doing to join in the fun?But if she didn't reach out to hit the smiling person, she could only accept it.

"Jiumei, I know that you have some prejudice against me. The past is my fault, so you can forgive me?" Qiao Wuxiu helped Qiao Jiuxiu insert the hairpin, and said very sincerely, As if she really wanted to be good sisters with Qiao Jiuxiu.

"Hehe..." Qiao Jiuxiu laughed dryly, not knowing how to answer, and nodded, "My sister is also responsible for the past, so I will ask my sister to take care of it from now on."

"It's easy to say, easy to say." Qiao Wuxiu took Qiao Jiuxiu's hand and said, "By the way, today is your birthday, what are your plans?"

Speaking of plans, I really haven't.In the past, she and Jinxiu celebrated birthdays together, but suddenly there were so many people, Qiao Jiuxiu didn't know what to do for a while.

"What are you talking about? How can this matter not include me?" I don't know what kind of wind blew today, but it even brought Qiao Liuxiu here.As soon as Qiao Liuxiu came, she drove Qiao Wuxiu aside, and she held Qiao Jiuxiu's hand sincerely, "Ninth Sister, I like the plum blossoms you sent me a few days ago, but I still don't know what to do. Thank you. I heard that today is your birthday, and my sister has nothing to give, this is the Diamond Sutra that I hand-copied, if my sister likes it, please take it."

Qiao Liuxiu's handwriting is so good that even his wife is full of praise.But she seldom writes, and usually only the wife and the young master can command her. She didn't expect that she copied a copy of the Diamond Sutra specially for Qiao Jiuxiu's birthday today.Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Jinxiu who was behind her, and Jinxiu also shook her head, for some reason, these young ladies seemed to be a different group of people today.

"Hehe, thank you Sixth Sister." Faced with such a great gift, Qiao Jiuxiu had no other choice but to accept it and say thank you.

"Eh, eldest sister didn't arrive today?" Qiao Liuxiu said suddenly.Qiao Jiuxiu gave Qiao Liuxiu a strange look, isn't it normal that the elder sister didn't come?How can I get her to make a fuss?Suddenly she understood.

The reason why these sisters came here today has nothing to do with their birthdays. Birthdays are just an excuse for them to come here. If there is no reason for birthdays, they will use other reasons to come here.

They want to please her.

She has gotten very close to her eldest sister in the past few days, and the relationship is also very good.Eldest sister is deeply liked by the wife and has a high status in the mansion. The other concubine sisters want to please the eldest sister, but the eldest sister has always disliked places with many people, and she doesn't like to have too much contact with them.She has been getting close to her eldest sister recently, and they have no way to please her, so they turn to please her.It never occurred to her that there were times when she would pretend to be a tiger.

It's just that she still doesn't know why the eldest sister suddenly got close to her. Is there something wrong with this?
"It's a pity that elder sister didn't come over today." Qiao Shanxiu said, "However, elder sister never likes crowded places. It's good that we sisters are lively and lively."

"Yes. Yes." The girls nodded again and again, and suddenly saw a little maid trotting over.Everyone knows that little maid, it's Qiao Yuanxiu's maid, Xueyuan.

"Hello, ladies." Xueyuan greeted the ladies, and finally locked her eyes on Qiao Jiuxiu, "Miss Nine, the eldest lady said that I would like you to sit with her in the afternoon, she wants you to accompany her Let's go to the street together to buy some things to use as accessories for clothes."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, instead of greeting these sisters who have their own ghosts, it is better to go out with Qiao Yuanxiu, she rarely has the opportunity to go shopping because her wife does not allow it.But since it was Qiao Yuanxiu who invited her out, it meant that his wife had also agreed to this matter, and it was the elder sister who was taking pride in herself. "Dear sisters, I'm really sorry. Eldest sister's wedding is approaching, and my wife asked me to help make clothes for eldest sister. I can't afford to delay this matter, so I have to go first. I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay." The other sisters shook their heads again and again, telling Qiao Jiuxiu to go first, but they couldn't keep the eldest sister waiting.Qiao Jiuxiu walked slowly behind Xueyuan.

"Isn't it just climbing up the tall branch of the eldest sister? As for being so frightened?" When Qiao Jiuxiu walked away, Qiao Liuxiu snorted coldly. If it wasn't for the sake of the eldest sister, she would not have come here.

"Someone is not happy, so you don't have to come." Qiao Wuxiu said from the side, "Didn't some people also climb the high branch of the wife? Why did they come to join in the fun? I know, it is because of the plum blossom incident a few days ago You did such an absolute job, I was afraid that Jiumei would retaliate in the future, so did you make a special trip here today to repair the relationship?"

"I want to repair the relationship, but I'm not afraid of her revenge." Seeing that her thoughts had been guessed by others, Qiao Liu quickly changed her expression and said calmly, "I just think that we are all sisters. Why bother each other?"

"That's really nice." Qiao Wuxiu sneered, "She said that, do you believe it, Third Sister, Tenth Sister?"

"The wind seemed to be very strong just now. I didn't hear what the two sisters were arguing about." Qiao Shanxiu is a standard good old man, knowing that no matter which side she is on, she will subconsciously offend the other side, so she simply pretended to be deaf and dumb. It's better to pretend you didn't hear anything.

"Yes, the wind was so strong just now that my scarf was blown up." Qiao Shixiu interjected, "Since sister Jiu has left, we can't celebrate our birthday. It's so cold outside, so I'll go back first. .”

As soon as Qiao Shixiu left, Qiao Shanxiu also found a reason to leave.Qiao Wuxiu and Qiao Liuxiu didn't want to continue arguing, so they left one after another.

"Miss Nine, there are some words that we should not say as servants." Xueyuan who was walking in front suddenly spoke.Qiao Jiuxiu was a little puzzled, but she pricked up her ears. What was she going to say to herself?

"I don't know about the other ladies, but Miss Six has always only liked herself. So she just came here to curry favor with you, so she must have some intentions. She just thought that you have a good relationship with Missy now, so you need to ease the relationship. But Missy will soon I'm going to marry into the palace, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help Miss Jiu anymore. So Miss needs to make plans early."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and she didn't know whether Xueyuan's words were what Qiao Yuanxiu wanted to tell her, or if it was just Xueyuan's unilateral meaning.It's right to be a little more careful though.There is really no way for the eldest sister to help her after entering the palace. She needs to find a new backer in order to survive in the mansion.

The wife is the best candidate, but the wife has always been very prejudiced against herself. She doesn't even know how to ease their relationship, let alone let the wife become her backer. This is still a long way to go.

But the most urgent task at present is to prepare the clothes for the eldest sister when she gets married.If that matter is messed up, not only the wife will not be able to tolerate her, even the eldest sister will not be able to keep her.

Suddenly, Qiao Jiuxiu felt like she was stepping on a frozen river, and she had to be very careful every step she took, for fear that if she stepped on thin ice, she would fall all over her body.Walking on eggshells is her current predicament.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the eldest sister's yard.Qiao Yuanxiu was wearing a gray mink fur jacket. Tingting was standing in the courtyard, as if she was waiting for her specially. Qiao Shaotang was standing beside her, wearing a dark blue robe.
