The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 185 My wife has something to announce

It has been calm for several days. I don’t know what happened recently. The Qiao Mansion has been very quiet. Not to mention the big things, even the small things haven’t happened. Everything is orderly. Slowly approaching, but she didn't know what it was.

It's time for the monthly family banquet again. Ever since Qiao Liuxiu became the prostitute of the Qiao Mansion, she can always sit beside the wife during the family banquet. The left side of the wife is naturally Ye Duanyi, but Ye Duanyi's side , the position that originally belonged to Qinglian disappeared, as if this person had never appeared at all.The sisters talked about some recent experiences at the dinner table, but they were all irrelevant and interesting things, and no one mentioned Qinglian.

"By the way, I have something to say today." My wife is used to talking about things at dinner parties, because only at dinner parties are the most tidy, and if she has said some things at dinner parties, she doesn't have to go down and notify them one by one.When everyone heard his wife say this, they all nodded and looked at his wife intently, waiting for her to say something.The wife cleared her throat, "We have two things to say tonight, both good things. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Although Madam was asking a question, no one spoke, because when Madam was talking, no one had a chance to intervene. The Madam could say whatever she liked to say about these two things, as long as they listened well.

The wife nodded, and continued following what she said just now, "Yesterday I met Mrs. Lin when I was wandering around. Mrs. Lin said that the Duke's house was not going well recently, so she went to ask for a divination. The divination said that it would be best to have Congratulations. Therefore, Mrs. Lin discussed with the Sir and decided to advance the wedding between Zhiyi and the sixth girl, and set the wedding date on the eighth day of the next month. It is an auspicious and auspicious day, which is just right for congratulations."

When Qiao Liuxiu heard the news, the smile on her face deepened. To her, this was definitely very good news. The things for the wedding were already prepared, and she just waited for the bridal sedan chair to marry into the lordship by herself. house.The wedding date is ahead of schedule. Firstly, she doesn't have to worry about having long nights and dreamy dreams. Someone will suddenly appear and spoil her wedding. Second, she has been looking forward to marrying into the Lin family for too long. It would be too great if she could realize this dream sooner. alright.But even though she was very excited in her heart, she still tried to maintain a calm appearance on the surface, looking at his wife gently all the time.

"Does Liu girl have any opinions?" Feeling that Qiao Liuxiu was looking at her all the time, thinking that she was also the person involved, so the wife stopped by to ask for her opinion. In fact, Qiao Liuxiu's opinion was not important, and she never said no to this matter. power.Qiao Liuxiu lowered her head slightly, and replied shyly, "Madam, I have no objection, you can decide everything."

The wife smiled heartily, she knew that Liu Yatou was very sensible, so among so many daughters, she always liked Qiao Liuxiu the most, "Okay, since Liu Yatou has no objection, then this matter will be decided like this."

The other sisters also nodded repeatedly, but they were less envious of Qiao Liuxiu's good luck.From the wife's words just now, they can see that Mrs. Lin also attaches great importance to this wedding. You must know that Mrs. Lin is a first-class lady who is very well-known in the circle of noble ladies in the capital. If you can win Mrs. Lin's favor, Qiao Liuxiu's life in the future will definitely be like a fish in water, she can have whatever she wants.

How can this not be enviable?

Qiao Liuxiu also had a full smile on her face. She must be very satisfied with the result. She looked at the people around her with envious eyes. For women in this era, being able to marry well is the greatest happiness.So everyone here is very envious of Qiao Liuxiu.Only Qiao Jiuxiu's expression was very flat. Although she was envious of Qiao Liuxiu's happiness, she also clearly knew that this happiness had nothing to do with her at all, it was not her own thing, and it was useless to envy her.

Because she saw things clearly, she saved a lot of trouble.The wife nodded, and continued to talk about the second good thing, "Now let's talk about the second good thing. A few days ago, the third prince of the capital said that he wanted to marry us. I think this proposal is very good, although She is a concubine, but after all, she is marrying the emperor's younger brother, so she will definitely be able to live comfortably."

Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Qixiu both changed their faces when they heard this. The Qiao Mansion has three unmarried daughters in total. Qiao Shixiu is not yet 15 years old, so naturally she is not old enough to marry, so the one who married the Third Prince Things that can only let one of the two of them come.Looking at this marriage, my wife will think it is a happy thing, but for a girl who knows the temperament of the third prince, it is definitely a disaster.

Although the third prince is only 25 or [-] years old this year, he looks very upright, with aristocratic temperament in every gesture.But he is a merciful master. It is said that there are already eighteen wives in the mansion, and they are all distinguished. The most distinguished of them is naturally the third princess. It is said that she is the daughter of the prime minister. Very powerful dad.If the third prince was only in love with beauty, it wouldn't make people frightened.What is even more unacceptable is that the third prince has a tradition of beating women. Whenever he is drunk, he likes to beat the wives and concubines in the mansion. This matter has spread to the back of the lane, so the ladies who live in Qiao's mansion know it well. bright.

Qiao Liuxiu smiled lightly, wishing that Qiao Jiuxiu would marry the Third Prince, then she would be severely beaten every three days, and no matter how many grievances she felt, she could be vented.But I heard my wife say that she felt that Miss Jiu was still young and wanted to keep her by her side for a while, so she asked Qiao Qixiu to marry the Third Prince first.The wife showed a smug look on her face while she was talking, this is her in-laws with the royal family, life in Qiao's mansion will naturally be prosperous in the future, and the sesame seeds will bloom steadily.

Qiao Qixiu's face turned pale. Although she was unwilling to accept this marriage, she knew that this was her destiny. She had no choice but to change her destiny. She could only nod slightly and said calmly, " Yes, I understand."

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiao Qixiu with some worry, and found that her usually calm and wise eyes seemed to have lost their spirit.A few days ago, they were still looking forward to marrying a good husband in the future, but they never thought that she would have such a marriage today.Qiao Qixiu smiled awkwardly at Qiao Jiuxiu, as if to comfort her heart, but also to comfort herself, and said with a low laugh, "It's a great fortune to be able to join the royal family. I never even dreamed that I would Such a perfect marriage."

The words were not loud, but everyone present could hear them clearly.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, Qiao Qixiu was obviously having fun in the midst of suffering, so she couldn't help sighing, she was getting more and more worried now, what kind of husband would the wife find for herself?

The wife saw that Qiao Jiuxiu was looking at her all the time, thinking that she might be blaming me for not giving her such a good opportunity, so she quickly said to Qiao Jiuxiu, "Jiu girl, don't worry, I will definitely not favor each other, I can assure you, You will have a good marriage."

Qiao Jiuxiu smiled, noncommittal, but the smile was somewhat bitter.

After finishing the two things, the wife showed a satisfied smile on her face, "Okay, everyone can have a good meal now, and life in Qiao Mansion will only get better and better in the future."

"Madam, General Wen is here." Ruyi suddenly walked to his wife's side and whispered something in a low voice. The wife frowned, wondering what General Wen was doing here at this time, and isn't General Wen always guarding the frontier?Why did he return to the capital all of a sudden, and even arrived at Qiao's mansion.Although he didn't know what General Wen planned, he still had a smile on his face, "Please come in, General Wen, this is a rare visitor, come here, make a seat next to the main seat, and then ask the kitchen to cook more good dishes."

Although General Wen could not be said to be a powerful minister, he was definitely an important minister. My wife thought about it, but she couldn't offend General Wen, so she got up quickly to welcome General Wen's arrival.Ruyi glanced at his wife, as if he was thinking about whether he should say something to his wife or not.After deliberating over and over again, I finally said it out, "Ma'am, besides General Wen, there is also a sedan chair, a sedan chair with white flowers on it."

The wife was stunned, and fell down on the seat. This white-flowered sedan chair has always been an ominous sign, and people who are dead usually use such a sedan chair.Who is gone?Moreover, General Wen came to the funeral in person.

The wife let out a sigh of relief, already feeling that this matter was not easy, she calmed herself down slightly, and waited for General Wen to come over. Yi could hear clearly, but under such circumstances, the two of them could only ponder in their hearts and never dared to speak out.Qiao Liuxiu's face was a little pale. The white sedan chair meant that someone had died. General Wen personally sent the sedan chair to Qiao's residence, so...

I'm afraid Qiao Shan showed something up.

After all, General Wen is a military commander, and he rushed over all the way, but he was dressed in a black gown, and his serious expression was somewhat sad. Seeing his wife standing up and looking at him, he quickly bowed to his wife, "Mrs. Qiao, Mr. Wen I'm sorry."

The wife nodded, vaguely guessing what was going on, supporting the table with her hands, trying to put on a calm expression, "General Wen, what are you talking about, and what happened?"

"Shanxiu is gone." General Wen only said these four words, but he didn't want everyone to show a look of astonishment on their faces.Qiao Shanxiu was only married for less than two months, so how could it be gone?
The wife looked at General Wen in disbelief, trying to make sure he was joking.
