The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 187

"Draw crescent eyebrows, eyebrows are as picturesque, don't waste your time, and when you cross the bridge, don't frown." Ruyi said slowly, Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, picked up the eyebrow pencil in her hand, dipped it in ink lightly, and then drew eyebrows for Qiao Shanxiu, Qiao Qixiu Carefully looking at Qiao Jiuxiu, told her not to shake her hands, not to shed tears, it would be unlucky if her eyebrows were drawn out.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, trying to restrain the emotions in her heart, and carefully painted her eyebrows.

"Pip cinnabar on the forehead, little ghosts don't come near. Send Qing along the way, don't look back." Seeing Mei Dai finished painting, it is time to put cinnabar on the forehead. According to legend, cinnabar can suppress ghosts, as long as you put cinnabar on the forehead, then The little ghosts will not approach, and the road on the Naihe Bridge will be quiet, otherwise there will be little ghosts eating away the soul of the Lord.Qiao Qixiu nodded, took another Meticulous Wolf Hair, and dotted a bright red cinnabar on Qiao Shanxiu's forehead.

"Put rouge on the nose, wealth and honor will be determined in the next life, walk on the road of the underworld, and take care of the bull's head and horse face." The cinnabar has been put on, and the next step is to dye a little rouge on the tip of the nose. It is said that this will ensure the next life. people.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a long breath, thinking of Qiao Shanxiu's poem before, the last line in that poem, she clearly hoped that in the next life, she would go to an ordinary family and have a true love.It's not good to go against the tradition of makeup, so I can only nod lightly on the tip of her nose.

If she could choose, she also hoped that in her next life, she would have a simple and sincere love, even if she would worry about daily necessities, she would not suffer all the grievances in a house full of gold and silver, and she didn't know who to tell.

"Take the crimson lips, the red one is better than fire, it has nothing to do with the mundane world, forget it all." Ruyi's voice was already a little choked up, but she was not sobbing, Qiao Qixiu nodded, and carefully dyed Qiao Shanxiu with red paper The red lips, the fiery red corners of the lips, are so beautiful that it makes Nuan feel distressed, probably because it has been a while since she died, and Qiao Shanxiu's face has faint corpse spots, which makes people feel very distressed.

"Put blush on your face, don't stay in the underworld, quickly find a good family, and live a good life in the next life." Ruyi sighed, the face was finally finished, and looking at the two ladies, the expressions on their faces were very sad , Qiao Jiuxiu sat on the edge of the bed dejectedly, thinking that she had reluctantly sent Qiao Shanxiu to the sedan chair two months ago, but she never expected that she would come back in the sedan chair so soon, but she could no longer open her eyes and never speak In a word.

General Wen's mansion was only a stick of incense away from Qiao's mansion, but they didn't even see Qiao Shanxiu's last face, and when they brought her over, the body was already cold.

He sighed again, feeling extremely depressed. Just as he was about to get up, Ruyi handed a red rope in front of him, "Miss Jiu, tie it for Miss San. It is said that this thing can ward off evil spirits, and it can Lock the soul, if the third lady wants to go home in the future, she can still find the way back."

After Qiao Jiuxiu took the red rope, Ruyi said softly, "Tie the red rope in your hand, don't get lost, remember to come home in Qingming, and visit your old friends."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and carefully tied the red rope to Qiao Shanxiu's right hand.Then Wei Wei got up, they had already finished their make-up, so they couldn't stay in this room anymore, and waited for the Taoist priest to come tomorrow, and then held a lively funeral for Qiao Shanxiu.It's just that people are gone, so is it meaningful to do this again?I don't know if my wife is reluctant to part with Qiao Shanxiu, or if she just wants to save face.

Qiao Jiuxiu helped Qiao Qixiu out of the courtyard and sat down in the pavilion in front of the courtyard. Qiao Qixiu's tears finally flowed out, and she didn't say anything, just kept crying, Qiao Jiuxiu could only comfort her, and at the same time hoped that she could express all the anguish in her heart. You must know that if you hold it in your heart, it will be broken.

"Jiumei, I'm afraid. I'm afraid." Qiao Qixiu cried while trembling slightly, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that one day I'll be covered in wounds and lie on the bed cold, you make up my bridesmaid, Then he said those seemingly auspicious words, but actually made people feel distressed."

She is going to get married soon, and she is going to marry the third prince of the capital, and she knows very well the temperament of the third prince.After entering the palace, it was commonplace to be beaten. She was afraid that she would not be able to bear it one day, so she chose the latter between enduring humiliation and dying.Although there are too many unsatisfactory life in Qiao's mansion now, she finally has Jiumei to accompany her to share the joys and sorrows. When she gets married in the future, she will be alone. She doesn't know about the future injuries and the future Pain, can I bear it alone?

Qiao Jiuxiu patted Qiao Qixiu's shoulder lightly, trying to comfort her, but she couldn't say words of comfort. Qiao Qixiu's worry was not her worry.She doesn't know how much misfortune she will have in her future, and she doesn't know what her future will look like.She is even more pitiful than Qiao Qixiu, at least she knows who she is going to marry, and she doesn't even know her future.

After all, to whom would the wife point herself?
He let out a deep and long breath again, although he wanted to cry, but he held back, if even she cried, then who will comfort Qiao Qixiu.Seeing that Ruyi came out, she whispered something in her ear, Ruyi nodded, according to the rules, there will only be three of them in Miss San’s yard tonight, so Qiao Jiuxiu can do whatever she wants, As long as it's not out of line, my wife probably won't bother.

After about a stick of incense, the wine and wine glasses were brought up, and Qiao Jiuxiu filled a glass of wine for Qiao Qixiu, "Seventh sister, don't be sad, let's get drunk tonight, we won't be drunk when we get drunk. If you cry, you won't feel bad."

Qiao Qixiu glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu blankly, but smiled wryly, "Putting a knife cuts off the water and the water flows even more, raising a glass to relieve the sorrow makes the sorrow even more sorrowful. Even if the gold bottle is in my hand, it can't quench my worries." The first half of the sentence is a poem The second half of Xian Taibai's poem is more like her own emotion.If you can forget your sorrows when you are drunk, and if you don't have to face reality when you are drunk, then this world would be too beautiful.

"Don't say that." Qiao Jiuxiu quickly comforted, "Seventh Sister, you have never heard a word called how to relieve worries, only Du Kang. When we are drunk, we can forget many misfortunes in this world." Although the words are In this way, but they are young daughters after all, how could they have the open-mindedness and boldness of a generation of traitor Cao Mengde?However, these words were somewhat effective, but Qiao Qixiu nodded her head as expected.

"Okay, let's get drunk tonight."

It's too hard to live sober, it's better to get drunk.When you are sober, you dare not cry, dare not speak, and must live in a well-regulated and well-behaved way. It is better to be drunk than to be drunk.

Ruyi sighed, and did not advise them not to drink alcohol. According to the rules of the Qiao Mansion, female relatives are not allowed to drink alcohol, and even during major festivals, they can only taste it.But today, let them indulge once.

Even if his wife punished him afterwards, she would admit it Ruyi.It's not that she is kind, it's just that it's too bitter for the ladies.

"Ruyi, why don't you have a drink too." Qiao Jiuxiu filled Ruyi's glass too, "I know you feel a lot of discomfort in your heart, seeing the two of us drinking, you want to have some too, right?"

Ruyi nodded, and simply drank a glass. She doesn't know how to drink, but simply wants to express the blockage in her heart. After drinking a glass of wine, she feels that her throat is hot and uncomfortable, but her mood is not as depressed as before, "Miss Seven, Miss Nine , if Ruyi did something wrong before, with this glass of wine, all grievances and grievances will be wiped away."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, unable to bear the backlog of emotions in her heart anymore, she cried out completely, partly for Qiao Shanxiu's death, and partly for her unknown future, "Seventh Sister, you have always been good at writing, write to Third Sister A sacrificial oration."

Qiao Qixiu shook her head slightly, in terms of literary talents, Qiao Jiuxiu might be better than herself, and now her mind is in chaos, she doesn't even know what to say, how can she make a sacrificial oration?However, she did not refuse Qiao Jiuxiu's request, and thought for a while, "Tingting Yi is a bone of bones, and her heart is already dead. The three-foot white silk is tied around her neck, and she is free in her body. Don't say how rough everything is, enjoy the joy in the sky and on earth."

Qiao Qixiu's writing of this poem is quite satisfactory, and it's not sad when it comes to emotion, but whoever hears it is sad.Qiao Jiuxiu wiped away her tears slightly, but she didn't know that sentence drew her tears out.Probably the first sentence, Yi Ren is a dead bone, is there anything more tearful than this?He patted Qiao Qixiu's shoulder lightly, "Seventh sister, don't cry, come on, let's smile, third sister can watch us from above."

Qiao Qixiu wiped away her tears and filled herself with another glass of wine.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed and said, "I remember a legend that after a person dies, he will become a star, hang in the distant starry sky, and then look at the relatives and friends who care about him on the ground, and point the way for them in the dark night .As long as we look at the stars, we can see her voice and smile in our minds. In fact, he never left."

Qiao Qixiu nodded, what Qiao Jiuxiu said was really good, she just felt that she was not so depressed anymore.Raising the wine glass, "Then let's toast Sanjie a glass of wine and wish her a safe journey."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and raised her wine glass.However, there was still some concern in his eyes, and he didn't know if it was for Qiao Shanxiu or for himself.

My wife said that tomorrow's funeral will be very lively, so does that mean that I will meet some people I don't want to see?Just like, Mrs. Wen who killed the third sister didn't know if she could sleep peacefully tonight, and if she would feel guilty when she saw the remains of the third sister tomorrow.
