The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 200 Holding a Dinner Party for Good Luck

It has been about half a month since the last time I went out. Qiao Jiuxiu thought that Qiao Liuxiu's temperament would set off a bloody storm in the Qiao Mansion, but she seemed to be wrong. Recently, the Qiao Mansion has been very quiet. What happened the most was the ebony soup that he prepared for his wife that day. Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't get used to such quietness.But after Qiao Qixiu's words, she soon came to her senses, so she stopped wasting energy on this matter.

According to Qiao Qixiu's analysis, Qiao Jiuxiu rejected Ye Yulang very clearly in front of so many people. If Qiao Liuxiu wanted to make a big fuss about this matter, it would be inappropriate.Because no matter what the wife heard, after a final investigation, you can find that Qiao Jiuxiu did nothing wrong at all, and maybe she will praise her for what she did. Qiao Liuxiu is a smart person, so naturally she would not do such a thing. stupid thing.

After listening to Qiao Qixiu's analysis, Qiao Jiuxiu also heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that she had Ye Duanyi's small clothes to make, so she simply didn't leave the door, and didn't go through the second door.He thought that if he still had time after finishing the small clothes, he would make some embroidered handkerchiefs for Seventh Sister. Although it was not as good as a wedding dress, it was more or less her wish.In the evening, Ruyi paid a surprise visit and said that his wife told them to go there at night and they were going to hold a dinner party.Qiao Jiuxiu frowned, thinking that today is not the time for the dinner, could something have happened?So he looked at Ruyi puzzled, hoping that Ruyi could give an answer.

"Miss Jiu, don't you really know?" Ruyi was very helpless, she knew that Qiao Jiuxiu hadn't gone out recently, she didn't expect that her news would be so closed, and she didn't even know about such a big thing.Fortunately, she thought of coming over to inform him before the dinner started, otherwise she might not be able to attend.For such an important party, if Qiao Qiao Jiuxiu doesn't show up, I'm afraid his wife will be angry.

Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head, and passed some important festivals in her heart. Although there have been a lot of auspicious days recently, it seems that there are no special festivals that need to be celebrated with a special dinner. Besides, life in Qiao's mansion is still a bit tight. Why does my wife have to do it? What about dinner?She was really puzzled.Ruyi sighed, that's all, instead of letting Qiao Jiuxiu make random guesses, it's better to let her give the correct answer, "Miss Jiu, have you forgotten that tomorrow is the day when Miss Six gets married. When a girl gets married, there will naturally be some movement. Therefore, today's dinner is considered to be a farewell to Miss Six, and it is also the beginning of the wedding."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, well, she actually forgot all about it. "That's right, Miss Six is ​​getting married soon. Ruyi, thank you for coming to tell me. I'll change clothes and go to the dinner right now. I hope it won't be too late."

Qiao Jiuxiu was glad that Ruyi followed her now, otherwise she would have missed a lot of important information.But what Jinxiu is doing recently, she often doesn't see anyone for several days in a row, and every time she asks Jinxiu, she always hesitates and can't speak, making people have to think wildly.He could only call Hongxiu together and walk towards the main hall.Because it was a little late, almost everyone was there.

"Fifth Sister?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned, she didn't expect Qiao Wuxiu to come back.Qiao Wuxiu nodded to Qiao Jiuxiu, "I just went home to have a look. I heard that my sixth sister is going to get married, so naturally I want to see her off together."

Qiao continued to nod, and felt that Qiao Wuxiu seemed to have changed a lot. She used to be like a hedgehog, showing her sharpness. She would immediately show dissatisfaction with people and things she didn't like. However, this time she came back, She is obviously much more mature, exuding the mature charm of a wife.Qiao Jiuxiu thought that today's protagonist is Qiao Liuxiu, so even if she sits with Qiao Wuxiu, it won't attract too much attention, so she sits next to Fifth Sister, she has something to say to Qiao Wuxiu .

"Seventh sister, how are you doing recently?" Because of the embroidered handkerchief, Qiao Wuxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu settled down. Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu sitting next to her, Qiao Wuxiu was also very happy, and quickly held her hand hand asked.Since neither the wife nor Qiao Liuxiu came, they didn't have to be so restrained.

"I'm fine." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, "I just miss my sister a little bit, by the way, Fifth Sister, how are you doing in General Wu's residence?"

Qiao Wuxiu bit her lips lightly. She knew that Qiao Jiuxiu might ask this question, but she didn't know how to answer it. After a long time, she sighed heavily, "What can I do? It's still not the same as before. I also met my third sister a few days ago, and discussed it with her to see when I can come back..."

Probably thinking of Qiao Shanxiu's death made her unable to continue talking.Looking at Qiao Jiuxiu again, she also looked concerned.Qiao Wuxiu shook her head, "Jiumei, I'm sorry, I said something wrong, today is a day of great joy, how could I say that."

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, she had already figured out about Third Sister's death.For Qiao Shanxiu, instead of enduring Mrs. Wen's various tortures every day, feeling so painful that life would be worse than death, it would be better if the real three-foot white silk ended her life, at least she would not have to suffer anymore.

She can only think about it this way, otherwise she will definitely feel very uncomfortable.Qiao Wuxiu changed the subject very cleverly, "By the way, when I came here just now, I met someone who came to offer a betrothal gift. My dear, the gift list is really long."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, followed Qiao Wuxiu's words and asked, "Really, what do you have?" She didn't want to continue the question just now, but she still felt a little uncomfortable. Fifth Sister's dowry is pitifully small, almost all of them are better than nothing, it's really different for different people.

"There are a lot of things." Qiao Wuxiu said with emotion, "I listened to it for a while, and there are seven pairs of jade bracelets alone, countless pearls and agates, and various silks and satins. There are more than ten boxes of betrothal gifts alone. I remember that when the eldest young master married the eldest young mistress, there were probably so many betrothal gifts."

"Of course, I used to be a regular wife." Qiao Liuxiu arrived, her face full of pride. According to the custom, when a daughter-in-law gets married, she must hold a banquet at home, entertain the whole family to eat and drink, and then say auspicious words. Later, unmarried concubine daughters will help comb hair and makeup, and married female relatives will be responsible for telling her some precautions after marriage.And that's why Qiao Wuxiu wanted to come back.

"Liu girl, take a seat." The wife also arrived, and then sat down on the main seat.After the wife sat down, the whole table fell silent. Everyone looked at the wife very seriously. If the wife didn't start, they would never dare to act.The wife nodded to everyone, "Hurry up and eat, there are still many things to do after dinner." Then she looked at Ye Duanyi, very kindly, "Now that Duanyi has a body, can't It's too much work, go back to rest after dinner. The most important thing is to take care of yourself, and you don't have to worry about things here."

Ye Duanyi nodded obediently. She has stayed in Qiao's mansion for half a year, and she knows that as long as she obeys her wife's wishes, she will not be scolded. Besides, the wife is doing it for her own good, so she can't insist on anything.

The dishes of the dinner are very simple, but they all have very nice names, such as "flying together with wings", "fish and flounder" are deeply affectionate, raising eyebrows together, and the auspicious words of life and death have become the names of the dishes.After everyone had a simple meal, it was time to say auspicious words. The wife said first, "Liu girl, I wish you a harmonious husband and wife and an early baby."

You must know that Lin Zhiyi has no heirs now. Although he has already had several marriages, but for some reason there has been no movement. Mrs. Lin has been anxious for a long time, thinking about giving birth to the future young master soon to inherit the incense, and this A very important task fell on Qiao Liuxiu, and the wife hoped that she would make some noise soon so that she could gain a firm foothold in the Duke's Mansion.

Qiao Liuxiu naturally understood his wife's good intentions, her cheeks flushed slightly, and then she nodded, "With my wife's good words, I hope that I can get my wish quickly."

The wife nodded in satisfaction, "This matter is not difficult. If you have more time to pay homage to Songzi Guanyin, maybe you can get what you want." This was just right, Qiao Jiuxiu thought about it, and she really deserved to be the head of the Qiao Mansion , always mastering the art of speaking, there will be no inappropriateness, no wonder no one has ever been able to shake the wife's position in Qiao's mansion.

"Let me talk about it next." Qiao Shixiu stood up suddenly, but at the age of 11, she was still combing her horns and looked like a doll. Among the concubine daughters of Qiao's mansion, she was the only one who was still carefree. At an age of worry, I grew up carefree, "I wish my sixth sister can grow old with my sixth brother-in-law, and then bring me a lot of delicious food during the Chinese New Year."

As soon as this remark came out, many people laughed aloud, Qiao Liuxiu smiled lightly, "Little sister, Sixth Sister, remember, don't worry, I will bring you back a lot of delicious food during the Chinese New Year, but when the time comes Don't eat your teeth."

Qiao Shixiu smiled and said no, and then sat down obediently. Marriage was too far away for her, so she didn't know the deep meaning of it.

Seeing that Qiao Shixiu finished speaking, Ye Duanyi also got up, "Then I wish Liumei and Zhiyi will be united forever and never be separated."

Qiao Liuxiu nodded, and also accepted Ye Duanyi's blessing, but her eyes stayed on Qiao Jiuxiu's face, "Ninth Sister, don't you wish me well? I've been waiting for your blessing."

Having said that, everyone turned their attention to Qiao Jiuxiu's face.Qiao Jiuxiu stood up, with a calm smile on her face, "Well, I wish Sixth Sister all wishes come true after marriage, and she can have whatever she wants."
