The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 216 Seeking Auspiciousness in the Temple of the City God

The next morning, the sky was not very bright, so the wife asked Qiao Jiuxiu to accompany her to the Temple of the Town God to offer incense. Go to the first stick of incense, so that you will appear more sincere, and it will be easier to get the blessing of the Bodhisattva, so we set off early in the morning.

I don't know if it's for keeping a low profile, or because I'm not in a very happy mood, my wife only used a two-seater carriage this time, and didn't ask too many people to accompany her, so she let Ruyi and Jinxiu get into the carriage, and it was just for the sake of taking care of her.The wife didn't speak along the way, her eyes were bloodshot, presumably she didn't have a good rest last night.Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, not knowing why a strange thought popped up in her heart.

She asked herself, if the wife knew that the third sister would choose to commit suicide after she got married, and the sixth sister would kill herself because of pregnancy, would the wife still let them marry in the first place?Sighing lightly, if my wife really has the ability to foretell, she will probably make such a choice, because some things, even if they know that they will develop in a bad direction, they have no chance to make other choices.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed heavily, perhaps, one day, she will also face such a fate, a fate that is powerless and unchangeable.

The wife briefly counted the things she needed, and then let out a soft sigh, "Jiu girl, we are here, I will go to help Liu girl to ask for a lottery later, and you can also go to ask for your marriage along the way."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, but she showed a wry smile. Now she has given up any hope for her marriage.Who knows what kind of fate waiting for her will be, she can't escape, so what's the use of asking clearly?However, she absolutely did not dare to say these words in front of her wife, so she could only nod her head slightly, "Madam, I want to help Sixth Sister find a peace talisman by the way, do you think so?"

The wife nodded, indicating that she could arrange it by herself.The four of them entered the Town God's Temple, because the sky was only dim, so there were not many pilgrims. The nuns in the Town God's Temple had just finished their morning classes, and there were visitors.One of the older nuns seemed to recognize his wife, so he walked up to her and nodded slightly to her, "Mrs. Qiao, why are you here?"

The Qiao family is a rising star in the capital. Mrs. Qiao is very enthusiastic about various temples. She often travels in this place, and every time she makes a move, she is very generous, so everyone knows each other after coming and going.Mrs. Qiao sighed softly, and only said that she wanted to ask for a lottery for her sixth daughter, so the nun took his wife to the lottery place and asked her to choose a lottery from the lottery.The wife thought silently in her heart, and then took one and handed it to her.Qiao Jiuxiu stayed at a place that was not far or near, since his wife didn't let her go, so she could only stay where she was.My wife is not in a very good mood recently, so she shouldn't make her angry at this time, otherwise she will definitely be overwhelmed and walk around.

Although she is not very good at observing words and expressions, she also knows what to say and what not to say.

The nun took the signature from his wife and sighed softly, "Mrs. Qiao, what do you want to ask? Is it the heir, or the person?"

"Heirs." Hearing what his wife said, Qiao Jiuxiu felt a chill in his heart. Between Qiao Liuxiu and his future grandson, the wife still chose the latter.She sighed softly, Qiao Liuxiu had been by his wife's side for so many years, and she was considered a good daughter, but now she was abandoned for a grandson whom she had never met.I have to say, this is really heartbreaking.But I guess my wife's heart is not feeling well.Why doesn't she want to keep both of them, but she has to choose between them.

Although Mrs. Lin is the master's younger sister, the Lin family and the Qiao family have always treated each other with sincerity these years.But Lin Zhiyi will inherit the title of the Lin family sooner or later, so she must find something to lock Lin Zhiyi's heart, so that the relationship between the two families will not collapse one day. Qiao Liuxiu, who has no fertility, naturally has no way to keep Lin Zhiyi, so the wife They put their hopes on their future grandson. He is the eldest grandson of the Lin family, and he will inherit the title in the future. Based on this relationship, their relationship with the Lin family will not be broken.

She knew that thinking like this was cruel to Qiao Liuxiu.But since she is the daughter of Qiao Mansion, she should understand her good intentions. She does all this for the good of Qiao Mansion. In other words, as long as it is beneficial to Qiao Mansion, she will do it no matter what. of.

The nun nodded and began to analyze the signature, "Biyi doesn't want to be a Shuangfeiyan, and Lian Likong leaves a vine. Mrs. Qiao, if you ask Miss Six about this signature, it is a lottery, but if it is a child, it is a winning lottery. "

"What do you mean?" Madame asked gravely, suddenly interested.Then I heard the nun continue to analyze, "Biyi doesn't want to be a Shuangfeiyan. It means that Miss Six may be newly married, but she has to separate for some reason, leaving one vacant. Separate, but it will leave something very meaningful to the husband's family. It is a blessing and a curse."

Qiao Jiuxiu took half a step back, the analysis of the signature was really thorough, as if she really knew everything.Slightly sighed, is it true that Sixth Sister really has only one way to die?She is only 17 years old, and she has not experienced too many good things in her life, but she is going to die at this time.She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.I glanced at my wife lightly, but found that she seemed to be relieved.

That's right, the wife is more concerned about the safety of the child, and more concerned about whether the child can be born.He sighed again, not sure if it was for Qiao Liuxiu, or for all the hard-working women in the world.

"You mean you can't keep it?" The wife gave a rough overview of Qiao Liuxiu's situation.Qiao Jiuxiu let out a sigh of relief, she finally understood why his wife came to burn incense so early, not only to burn the first stick of incense, but also to prevent others from seeing it.The wife has quite a few acquaintances in the capital, if they know that she is here to ask for a lottery for this matter, some people may spread gossip, so the wife chose to burn incense in the morning when there are few people.

She is also really hardworking.

"That's what the signature says." The nun spread her hands, expressing that she had no choice. "However, if Mrs. Qiao is dedicated to the Buddha, maybe everything will turn around."

Mrs. Qiao nodded, and followed the nun to the location of the merit book, presumably it was time to donate incense again.But for Qiao's house, money is not a problem. Some time ago, the elder sister gave birth to a dragon son, and the emperor rewarded him with many things. Even the entire Qiao's house received gifts from his wife.Speaking of eldest sister, Qiao Jiuxiu didn't know whether Qiao Yuanxiu lived happily in the palace, or whether she would face some unsolvable problems.

But what needs to be worried about now is Qiao Liuxiu's matter.Remembering that my wife had agreed to ask for a peace talisman for Sixth Sister just now, she went to the place where she prayed for blessings and bought a peace talisman for a penny. She planned to buy jewelry for Qiao Qixiu to get married, but Qiao Qixiu said that Qiao Jiuxiu always needed money when she was in Qiao's residence, so she left half of the money for her.

He took the peace amulet handed over by the nun and held it in his hand.Qiao Jiuxiu knew that this thing might not be useful, so it was right to spend money to buy peace of mind.Maybe it can really bless the sixth sister's wife to give birth to the child peacefully.So holding the peace talisman, she followed the nun to recite scriptures silently, and sincerely prayed in her heart that Qiao Liuxiu could get through this test, and that the days to come would be smooth sailing and a safe journey.After reading the scriptures, she carefully put the peace amulet in her embroidered bag, thinking that such an important thing should not be lost.

After all this was done, the wife had already donated the silver. Seeing the embroidered bag in Qiao Jiuxiu's hand, she knew that she should have finished asking for the peace talisman, "Jiu girl, you have already asked for the peace talisman."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and handed the embroidered bag to the wife, but the wife didn't take it, "I remember you said last time that you were going to visit Liu Yatou, and you can hand it over for me when the time comes."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and said softly, knowing that his wife might not want to see Sixth Sister again, which once again aroused the sad feelings in his heart.I can only put the embroidery bag away, "Then madam, let's go back."

"Are you not asking about marriage?" Probably because she felt that continuing this topic would be too heavy, so the wife pretended to be relaxed and asked.Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head lightly, "No, Jiu Yatou is still young, and she has no plans to marry for the time being. Besides, isn't my wife in charge of my marriage? If you really want to ask, it's better to ask your wife when she plans to marry me and who she is going to marry .”

The wife shook her head, and half-jokingly said that Qiao Jiuxiu was really getting better at talking.Although both of them were trying their best to ease the atmosphere, the atmosphere was still extremely awkward.Finally, the wife finally sighed softly, "Forget it, let's go back."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, knowing that there will be more pilgrims in a while, and my wife doesn't want to meet acquaintances, so it's better to go back early.So he followed his wife out of the Town God's Temple one after the other.

When getting into the carriage, Qiao Jiuxiu looked back at the Temple of the City God. She didn't know that she didn't ask about the marriage just now because she didn't want to, didn't want to ask about a marriage that had already been decided by others?Or because she didn't dare, because she was afraid that the marriage she would find out was not what she expected in her heart.

Perhaps, she no longer has any expectations for the so-called marriage.Love, maybe it's really just two people living together, like it or not, it doesn't matter.She pretended to think so easily, but she didn't want this sentence to hit her heart, it hurt so much.
