The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 23 Miss Ye's First Arrival

The two talked for a long time before Wang Meng brought in the Ye Mingzhu powder. Qiao Jiuxiu got up and thanked Chen Chu, saying that if there is anything useful in the future, she will try her best to help. I can go back first.Chen Chu nodded and sent Qiao Jiuxiu to the door.Now that she got the luminous pearl powder, Qiao Jiuxiu took Jinxiu together and walked to Qiao's mansion. The wife will check the progress in three days, and she can only finish it by rushing day and night.

Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu leave, Wang Meng re-entered the private room. Chen Chu coughed twice, it seemed that he was not in good health yet.Wang Meng sighed, "My lord, since you are not feeling well, why do you have to open such a Po Ye Mingzhu store, but not in the capital."

Chen Chu shook his head slightly. Although Wang Meng was very loyal, his brain was not enough, and sometimes he couldn't even turn a corner. He had suffered a lot these years, so why couldn't he even see through this?

"General Ye's daughter is coming here. General Ye holds great power. Although Ye Duanyi is only a concubine's daughter, she likes General Ye very much, so we need to guard against it. If General Ye's daughter and other If you get close to the family of officials and officials, it is inevitable that there will be a possibility of forming a party for personal gain, which requires us to be careful."

"My lord, in this case, why don't you just marry Miss Ye's family, so that Ye's family will become your backer, and you don't have to worry about their cliques for personal gain." Wang Meng is not stupid, and he quickly came up with a solution Policy.It's just that Wang Meng is more or less one-sided. He thinks about the problem in this way, which is somewhat incomplete.

"It would be great if it could be like this, but General Ye doesn't like me as an idle prince, and I have no choice but to let her be someone else's wife." Chen Chu shrugged, as if very reluctant.

"It is said that Miss Ye Duanyi visited Qiao's house this time. The Qiao family is a big family here. I heard from Master Zhiyi that General Ye intends to betroth the young lady to Qiao Shaotang, the eldest son of the Qiao family. This time I came here to let my daughter see if she is satisfied. Dissatisfied."

"Mr. Qiao's family is very talented. He is a nice person and knowledgeable. Ms. Ye's family should like it very much." Chen Chu said, "It's just that I don't know which side the Qiao family is on. Is it on the side of the emperor? Or Stand on the side of a certain prince."

"Oh, I understand. That's why the lord is trying to please Miss Qiao's family today. He wants to get some information from her. Sure enough, the lord is the lord, and his technique is quite clever. Ordinary people like me didn't realize it at all."

Is he trying to use her?Chen Chu frowned slightly, probably not, he just wanted to help her simply, but when did he become so selfless, he just wanted to make that woman happy just now.

He must be crazy.Yes, must be crazy.

Qiao Jiuxiu returned to the mansion and parked the carriage in the courtyard, but suddenly found that there was an eight carriage parked in the courtyard. The eight horses could tell from their teeth that they were very rare thousand-mile horses. It is quite expensive to go there, not much else to say, the silk and satin used for decoration are the first-class fabrics, as for the pillars of the carriage are carved with very exquisite patterns, there are Feng Lai Yi, Shuanglong Xizhu, and a hundred birds. The carvings of patterns such as Chaofeng and Hundred Flowers are amazing.

"Miss, this carriage is so beautiful." Jinxiu sighed from the side, but she also expressed doubts, "If I remember correctly, the most luxurious carriage in the Qiao Mansion belongs to the wife, a six-passenger carriage, but this carriage has Eight chariots, and it’s so beautiful, isn’t there a distinguished guest at the house, you must know that the last time Master Zhiyi came, he only took six chariots.”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. The carriage has never been just a carriage, but also a symbol of power and money.But she's not interested in these things at all now, she just wants to finish her embroidery quickly, otherwise she really won't be able to rest in the past few days.

"Jinxiu, let's go back." Qiao Jiuxiu stretched her waist and pulled Jinxiu to leave, but Jinxiu stopped where she was, as if she was a little unwilling to leave.Qiao Jiuxiu asked her what her plan was. She said she wanted to know what kind of distinguished guests came to the house. If she didn't pay a visit, would she be squeezed out by other sisters?Moreover, if the visitor is rich or expensive, it is always right to establish a good relationship in advance.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Jinxiu was right, so she asked Jinxiu to inquire about it. Jinxiu stopped a servant girl to inquire. The other ladies are busy receiving them.

Jinxiu talked these words to Qiao Jiuxiu, Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she heard from Lin Zhiyi last time that General Ye was quite prestigious in the court and held real power, he was highly regarded by the emperor, and there were many in the court The officials wanted to win over General Ye, so General Ye's daughter became a fragrant bun, but Ye Duanyi has a very individual character, she said that she must choose a good husband she likes, so whenever General Ye introduces her, she will personally inspect it some.So according to this posture, it is estimated that General Ye also thought of the elder brother, so I don't know if Ye Duanyi thinks about the elder brother.

Thinking that this matter is related to the lifelong happiness of the eldest brother after all, Qiao Jiuxiu decided to take a look, so she asked Jinxiu to put the things back in the house, and then went to the main hall where she was receiving guests. The seat was very inconspicuous, so he sneaked in and sat beside Qiao Shixiu.Although my wife was sure about her going out of the house, it was somewhat inappropriate for her to walk in ostentatiously, that's why she was sneaky like this.

"Jiumei, you're back." Qiao Liuxiu's eyes were so sharp that she noticed Qiao Jiuxiu before she could sit still.I don't know if she has been paying attention to her side, or how can she be very clear about her every move?
"Sixth sister, I just bought some fabrics, needlework, etc. for the eldest sister to make clothes. My wife is ready for this. I heard that a nobleman came to the house, so I rushed back all the way. It was too late for the nobleman, really. I'm sorry."

Although these words were addressed to Qiao Liuxiu, Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes were fixed on Ye Duanyi. She was sitting on the left side of the wife, and she was an honorable superior, which meant that her status in this family was almost equal to that of the wife.

Ye Duanyi nodded to Qiao Jiuxiu, "Miss Nine, you don't have to feel sorry, Duanyi came here unexpectedly this time, and she didn't tell anyone in the house beforehand. In the end, Duanyi was at fault for bothering everyone."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded shyly and sat down. She was indeed a lady, but her conversation was very different, and she was also very beautiful. She was very suitable for her talented elder brother.

Seeing that Ye Duanyi didn't blame her, the wife didn't bother to say that Qiao Jiuxiu was wrong.Seeing that everyone was here, she first smiled at Ye Duanyi, "Miss Ye will feel like she is at home when she arrives here. Don't be restrained. You can tell us anything. You can stay as long as you want. These sisters are very easy-going."

"Yes," Qiao Yuanxiu continued his wife's words, "Miss Ye, please don't be polite, Zhiyi told us before, if Miss Ye doesn't mind, we can be sisters."

"What kind of words does the eldest lady say? How could she dislike it? Duanyi has never had any sisters since she was a child, and the most she hopes is to have a group of good sisters. How could she dislike it?" Ye Duanyi still replied generously. Qiao Jiuxiu felt that she was right. Ye Duanyi liked it more and more.

Although she is the daughter of a concubine, she was held in the palm of General Ye's hand since she was a child, so it is very easy to develop a pampered personality. I did not expect her to be so approachable.

I have to feel that the Ye family has a good education.

"Miss Ye is really approachable. If Miss Ye wants to write and practice calligraphy, you can come to me." Qiao Liuxiu said knowingly.

"If Miss Ye wants to practice dancing, I can accompany Miss Ye." Qiao Wuxiu was not to be outdone.

"If Ms. Ye likes to make her own snacks, we can go to the kitchen to learn together." Qiao Shanxiu also said.

"Sister Ye, I don't know anything. If you don't mind, we can eat delicious food together." Even Qiao Shixiu came to join in the fun,
Qiao Jiuxiu sighed slightly, these sisters of hers are really amazing, they all sold themselves out in such a short while, and they also expressed their friendship to Ye Duanyi by the way.

Sure enough, Ye Duanyi covered her mouth and said with a light smile, "The young ladies are really interesting, then Duanyi has something to bother you." But she looked at Qiao Jiuxiu, "It's just why Miss Jiu keeps silent, because she doesn't want to talk to you. Is Duanyi a friend?"

She looks so pitiful, I really feel pity for her.

"Of course not," Qiao Jiuxiu said hastily, "It's just that I don't have the skills like other sisters and sisters. I can only embroider and write. Other than that, I don't have any special skills. I thought that Ms. Ye might not like it, so I always Nothing was said."

Ye Duanyi pulled Qiao Jiuxiu out of the hall, Qiao Jiuxiu was a little strange, it seemed that Ms Ye Jia was really interested in the embroidery of clothes, otherwise she would not ignore her image and forcefully dragged herself all the way to the hut where she lived go.

"Sister Jiu, what are you doing with this sister?" Suddenly a joking voice sounded, Qiao Jiuxiu frowned slightly, she really didn't look at the almanac when she went out today, and bumped into him.

Qiao Shaolian, another son of the Qiao family.But no matter in terms of character or virtue, they are very different from Qiao Shaotang. If Qiao Shaotang is a rough jade, then Qiao Shaolian is a stubborn rock, and is extremely stubborn. Drinking and having fun, when he was drunk, he would even do nasty things like molesting the maids in the mansion, but he was the body of the young master after all, and the maids dared not speak out.

Qiao Jiuxiu could only pull Ye Duanyi back. Although Ye Duanyi's attire and temperament were very different from that of a maid, she was still afraid that the Fourth Young Master would not be able to bear it and would be rude to Miss Ye's family.
