The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 194

More than a month has passed since the day of Qiao Shanxiu's burial, and summer has finally arrived.The summer in the capital city is coming very hard. Just after the minor heat, it is unbearably hot. There is no way for a folding fan to resist the heat.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, she missed the era with electric fans and air conditioners very much, but she also knew that she might not be able to go back.If it comes, it will be safe, anyway, this summer will always pass.

But there are a few pieces of good news. One is that the wife is grounded. She doesn't have to go out for half a year. She just calms down and concentrates on researching female celebrities, and then makes small clothes for the elder sister. After three months of careful production, the small clothes will be ready soon. It's coming to an end, the more she looks at this dress now, the more she likes it, thinking that if she has a child in the future, she should also prepare such a cute little dress for her.Second, for more than a month, Qiao's residence has been surprisingly quiet, and no one has come to trouble her. It's rare for her to live a quiet life. If you order, you will go to the kitchen to cook some side dishes together.

Thinking of this, Qiao Jiuxiu's lips turned up slightly. The recent good news is not one or two. A while ago, the medical woman checked out and said that Ye Duanyi was pregnant, which made everyone happy.Especially Ye Duanyi, who has been stalking for several days, asking herself to help make small clothes for the unborn child.She had no way to postpone it, so she could only say that she and Duanyi would make small clothes together after finishing the eldest sister's work.

You must know that Ye Duanyi's embroidery is also very good, so why not drag her into the water together?Anyway, if you are pregnant, you can't walk around at will, so you can use female celebrities to cultivate your sentiments.Of course, Qiao Qixiu will not be idle, she can play the flute and play the piano by the side when they are female celebrities, which has a special flavor.All in all, the past month or so has been the happiest and most casual time for Qiao Jiuxiu in the Qiao Mansion.

She longed for such a leisurely life in the future, but she knew that all of this was just the calm before the storm. She liked such a leisurely life, so naturally someone would destroy it.

In addition, almost every once in a while, San Yiniang would come to see her and tell her what happened in the house recently. Although Qiao Jiuxiu never asked for this, San Yiniang said that she must repay Qiao Jiuxiu. She has no property, so she can only use this method.However, as far as the information provided by San Yiniang is concerned, her ability to collect information is quite professional, and Qiao Qixiu repeatedly praised her, saying that even she could not collect such information.

Now, there is only one problem left.

Qiao Jiuxiu let out a long breath. Last time because of Qiao Shanxiu's incident, his wife was very dissatisfied with her.It is very unwise to offend his wife in Qiao's residence.Qiao Jiuxiu also asked Qiao Qixiu about this matter. She said that the most urgent thing now is to please his wife, and she must not show her face. trouble.

Qiao Qixiu's words made sense, Qiao Jiuxiu thought, even if he wants to please his wife, he needs a legitimate reason, so that he won't be afraid of self-defeating.Putting her cheeks on her cheeks and thinking about it briefly, she remembered that the third aunt said that the wife hates summer the most. In summer, she will sweat a lot and feel a lot more irritable.It's midsummer now, and she needs to come up with a way to help his wife cool off, which may be the best way to please her.

After making up her mind, she went to Aunt Qiaoyu's residence with Jinxiu.In order to transition the summer smoothly, the Qiao Mansion will prepare some ice cubes in the cellar. In the summer, the lady has three catties of ice cubes per month, but if she wants to use it, she has to go to Aunt Qiaoyu to register it. , and then go to the cellar for ice.After listening to Qiao Jiuxiu's thoughts, Aunt Qiaoyu nodded, and signed a catty of ice cubes for her.

Bringing Jinxiu back to the house, just as he put down the ice cubes, Hongxiu walked in, holding a big bowl of dark red soup in his hand.Jinxiu looked at it strangely, "Miss, what is this, it smells a little sour."

"This is sour plum soup." Qiao Jiuxiu explained that sour plum soup is a good medicine for relieving summer heat, and it tastes sweet and sour.Then after breaking the ice cubes, put them in.In this way, the iced sour plum soup is ready, but she still has some apprehensions in her heart, wondering if such a little thing can please her wife.

"Jinxiu, help me bring that little dress here." Qiao Jiuxiu thought about the completion of the clothes she made for the eldest sister, so she simply showed them to the wife, so that she could find a suitable reason to report to the wife.Since she was grounded by her wife, she has not seen her wife for more than a month.I'm afraid that if the time continues to be delayed like this, the wife will forget that there is still someone like her in the house.

After being fully prepared, Qiao Jiuxiu took the small clothes in her hands and took Jinxiu to his wife's courtyard. In order to make the sour plum soup exert its maximum effect, he deliberately chose the afternoon when the sun was the hottest.

"Miss Jiu, Madam just woke up from a nap, she should be in a good mood, when you go in later, be careful what you say." Ruyi whispered beside her.Qinglian was already dead, so she didn't need to go her own way against Qiao Jiuxiu, so she simply became Qiao Jiuxiu's person.It's just that Qiao Jiuxiu was somewhat jealous of her, so he never made friends with her.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, thanked Qinglian, and walked in with Jinxiu.

The wife has already woken up, and the two maids behind her are fanning the wife with a cattail fan, but the effect is not obvious, the sweat on the wife's face is still profuse, she gave Qiao Jiuxiu a strange look, "Why do Jiu girls want to come here?" ? What is Jinxiu holding in her hand?"

Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at his wife, she seemed to be a little dissatisfied with herself, so she quickly and respectfully replied, "Reply to my wife, this is the iced sour plum soup I made, it is most suitable for drinking in summer, it has the effect of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, especially to honor you."

The wife nodded, with neither happy nor angry expression on her face, she only beckoned the person beside her to take the tray from Jinxiu's hand.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief. She knew that a bowl of sour plum soup would not be enough for his wife, so she continued, "Actually, I have one more thing to tell my wife. Earlier, my eldest sister asked me to make small clothes for the future prince, and I have already finished it. I was thinking about showing it to my wife first, and then sending it to the palace to show my eldest sister. Please let my wife take a look."

Qiao Jiuxiu said while handing the bundle in her hand to his wife.She has always overfulfilled the task. In addition to the small clothes requested by the elder sister, there is also a swaddle and two pairs of small shoes in this small package. They are all very delicate. Because they are clothes made for the prince, they are used. There are a lot of gold threads, which look very luxurious, but the material is very soft, and will not cause any irritation to the child's body.

Qiao Jiuxiu observed his wife's expression carefully, and was slightly relieved to see a faint smile on his wife's face. It seemed that she guessed right, and his wife was really satisfied with these gadgets.

"Jiu girl is still so reliable and leak-proof in her work." The wife put the burden aside, picked up a small light blue shoe with a gold border and a red flower sole, and said, "You used five kinds of embroidery for such a small shoe." The craftsmanship is really beautiful. And the texture is very comfortable. I have lived for so long, and this is the first time I have seen such a unique little shoe."

Hearing his wife's praise, Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his hanging heart. In order to make his wife more satisfied, she continued to say what his wife said, "Well, madam, I heard that the eldest young mistress also has Body, if possible, I would like to help make another set of clothes, how about this?"

"Okay." The wife didn't refuse, and simply nodded, "Jiuyatou really has a heart, but it's hard work for you, and it doesn't let you idle for a moment. In this way, you can tell me what materials are needed to make small clothes. That’s it, it must be noble and comfortable.”

"It's not hard," Qiao Jiuxiu said hastily, "I haven't been busy with anything recently, so it's good to study female celebrities at home."

The wife nodded, but changed the topic, "Jiu girl, I know you have always been a very smart girl. The last time you were confused for a while, you should reflect clearly now. Don't offend the rich and powerful again. Now, I don't mean to punish you, but if you don't punish you, you won't have a memory, so don't blame me."

"Madam, don't worry, I never meant to blame you." Qiao Jiuxiu said hastily, "Madam did this for my own good. I was worried that you would get angry with me because of this matter."

"Isn't there nothing to do now?" The wife smiled at Qiao Jiuxiu, "Nine girls, don't worry, as long as you live in Qiao's mansion, I will definitely arrange a good marriage for you, and you will have no worries about food and clothing. If you have a high status, you will naturally have inexhaustible glory and wealth."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, although she thanked her wife for her kindness, but she was somewhat troubled in her heart, knowing that her wife would promise herself to dignitaries.Which of those dignitaries is not three wives and four concubines, and according to her status, she can only be a concubine.The matter of the third sister has clearly told her fate as a concubine, what else can she expect.

But there was still a full smile on his face, "Madam, you are so kind to me, I will follow your arrangement."

The wife nodded, then waved her hand, indicating that Qiao Jiuxiu could step back.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded and left respectfully.I met Qiao Qixiu who was admiring the flowers in the back garden, and when I told her what happened just now, Qiao Qixiu also showed a satisfied smile on her face.
