The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 24 How is your eldest brother doing?
"Ninth Sister, what is this?" Ye Duanyi's voice trembled a little, because from the beginning until now, Qiao Shaolian had been staring at her with some malicious intentions, she had never seen such eyes.

"Miss Ye, let me introduce you. He is my fourth brother, Brother Shaolian. Brother, this is General Ye's daughter, Ye Duanyi. She is here to be a special guest at the house today." Qiao Jiuxiu did not show any signs of expression Introduce the two to each other.When talking about Ye Duanyi, she put the emphasis on the five characters of the general's daughter. When she said this, Qiao Shaolian would probably take it into consideration.

"So it's General Ye's daughter, Shaolian is so polite." Sure enough, Qiao Shaolian put on a serious look, but it's a pity that his first impression of Ye Duanyi was extremely bad.Before, my father praised the young master of the Ye family to the sky, saying how good he is, although this person in front of me is not the young master of the Ye family, but if the young master of the Ye family also looks like this, how dare she marry.

So he pulled La Qiao Jiuxiu's sleeve, signaling her to leave this place quickly, she didn't want to see Qiao Shaolian again.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she naturally understood Ye Duanyi's eyes, and she also wanted to leave early.

"Brother Shaolian, Miss Ye and I still have something to do, so let's go first. If there is a chance in the future, let's go to your place and sit down." Qiao Jiuxiu thought about how to leave without being too abrupt.

"Don't tell me, are you going to leave so soon?" Qiao Shaolian stopped him. Although he usually looks like a fool, he also pretended to be an upright gentleman. "Why don't you go to my place and sit down for a while, I can talk about poetry and music with Miss Ye Jia. There is a talented person in this world, and his poems are quite good. I happen to have his handwriting."

"I'm sorry, I really have something to do today." Although Ye Duanyi also likes poetry, she doesn't want to sit and discuss poetry with Qiao Shaolian, "I've made an appointment with Ninth Sister, and Ninth Sister taught me how to embroider. Poems, songs, and Fu are all your men." It’s fine for our youngest daughter to embroider and embroider.”

Qiao Jiuxiu also nodded quickly, if Ye Duanyi went to Qiao Shaolian's yard, she would probably go with her, otherwise she would be worried about putting a young girl next to Qiao Shaolian.

Qiao Shaolian tried to persuade her a few more words, but Ye Duanyi was very persistent, so she had no choice but to leave.Ye Duanyi let out a sigh. Although she seldom deals with men, this man in front of her is really the most rude man she has ever seen.

After entering Qiao Jiuxiu's room, Qiao Jiuxiu breathed a sigh of relief, and handed the ready-made clothes to Ye Duanyi. She came here this time to look at the clothes. Although the clothes have not been embroidered with gold thread yet, at present The workmanship and design are very good.She has always been modest, but she is quite sure about her embroidery works.

"This dress is really beautiful." Ye Duanyi touched the soft texture of the clothes and said with emotion. Because it is a spring shirt, it is light and warm without losing the warmth. It must be very elegant in the selection of materials. The lake blue sleeves and pink buttons are simple and elegant, but also a little extravagant. Although this is already very beautiful, it just feels like something is missing.

"Miss Ye, this dress is not finished yet. In the end, a peony must be embroidered with gold thread to cover the whole dress, so as to highlight the royal identity. Then," Qiao Jiuxiu took out the night pearl powder, "In addition, there are Sprinkle with luminous pearl powder, so that even in the dark, the clothes can shine brightly."

"It's amazing." Ye Duanyi sighed sincerely, "Ninth Sister, you are so smart, you can think of a way to use luminous pearl powder. If I get married, I can also have such a dress."

Qiao Jiuxiu's clothes made Ye Duanyi very excited, but when he thought of marrying into Qiao's family, he still felt a little worried.

"Miss Ye, I see you seem to be thinking about something, if it's convenient, can you tell me?" Qiao Jiuxiu walked up to Ye Duanyi and asked.Ye Duanyi shook her head slightly, feeling that she might be abrupt and impolite to ask, but if she didn't ask, there would be no way for her to drop a huge rock in her heart, and she was in a dilemma. "Ninth sister, I want to ask you a question, you have to answer it honestly."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, it should be a very important question, because Ye Duanyi has already put on a serious look. "Miss Ye, just tell me, I will know everything and say everything."

"Your elder brother, how are you?" Ye Duanyi uttered this question with great difficulty. How could a lady talk about a man behind his back like this?Her cheeks were blushing already.

"You just want to ask this question?" Seeing Ye Duanyi's distressed appearance is very cute, Qiao Jiuxiu had a whim and wanted to tease Ye Duanyi, "You saw my fourth brother just now, although he was not born by a mother, But always from one father, and so on."

Ye Duanyi's face suddenly became very ugly.He seemed to think of Qiao Shaolian's scary eyes before, and he couldn't help shaking his head. If the young master of the Qiao family is really like the man just now, he can only go against his father's wish.It's just that both her father and Lin Zhiyi praised Qiao Shaotang to the sky. Others didn't know that her father seldom praised others, and he still praised like that.

Ye Duanyi was very anxious, Qiao Jiuxiu stuck out her tongue, and felt that her joke seemed a bit too much, so she quickly said, "Miss Ye doesn't need to think too much, although my fourth brother is not very good, but the dragon gave birth to nine sons, Everyone is different, but the eldest brother and the fourth brother are very different. The eldest brother studied the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child. But she is very good to us younger sisters, and has never punished the servants, just now Jiuxiu was joking."

"Really?" Ye Duanyi frowned, trying to distinguish the authenticity of this sentence, Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, of course it was true, even more true than pearls. "If Ms. Ye doesn't believe it, you can go and see for yourself. I believe that according to Ms. Ye's intelligence, she won't fail to see it."

Ye Duanyi shook her head slightly, "Since he knows that I am Miss Ye, he will treat him with courtesy, so how can he see the real face? Maybe you will think I am a bit hypocritical, but isn't the greatest happiness of my daughter's family in this life? , can you find a good man who treats you sincerely?"

"It's not hypocritical." Qiao Jiuxiu said hastily. It's rare that Ye Duanyi's view of love is consistent with her own, and suddenly she has a plan, "Miss Ye, I have a way, but I may have to wrong Miss. Eldest sister owes me a birthday present , I asked her to let the eldest brother take us to the lake in three days, but I only said that you are a new maid in the mansion. My wife saw that I was busy recently, so I temporarily gave it to me. Then you can take a look at my Is your brother your beloved?"

"That's a good idea." Ye Duanyi's personality has always been straightforward. She likes Qiao Jiuxiu's gentle temperament and cleverness. Qiao Shaotang doesn't know if he can become her good husband, but Qiao Jiuxiu can definitely become her good sister. , "It's just that I don't know, what's wrong with this?"

"Why don't you feel wronged? I want you to wear the clothes of a servant and do what a servant does." Qiao Jiuxiu's voice became lower and lower. If Qiao Shaotang knew that she wanted to design even his big brother, he would feel somewhat dissatisfied. .But Qiao Jiuxiu believed that Qiao Shaotang's character would definitely make Ye Duanyi like it, she could guarantee it.

"No grievance, no grievance." Ye Duanyi smiled and shook her head, "It's just why after three days, I want to test whether he is a gentleman tomorrow, whether he is as good as you said."

"I also want to find it and let you know." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, and pointed to the unfinished dress, "It's just that my wife asked me to finish this dress within three days. I just wanted to make Miss Ye's family wait for a few days, if you are so abrupt, please don't blame Miss."

"No wonder, no wonder, I am very touched by your willingness to help me. How dare you delay your making clothes, three days or three days. By the way, I am also good at embroidery, although I can't help you, but It's still okay to start with me and chat with you or something."

Qiao Jiuxiu quickly declined, but Ye Duanyi refused, and in the end Qiao Jiuxiu didn't insist anymore.I rushed to make that shirt with Ye Duanyi. Embroidering peonies with gold thread was originally a huge project, but now there is an additional step of sprinkling luminous pearl powder. I don't know if it can be done as scheduled.

For three days and three nights, except for the necessary meals and sleep, Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi have been busy making clothes, and finally finished the clothes on the last night.Qiao Jiuxiu told Jinxiu to put away her clothes no matter what this time, and she didn't care about etiquette, so she lay down on the bed with Ye Duanyi and slept with the clothes on. Both of them were so sleepy that they didn't realize that there was a The conspiracy is slowly approaching like this.

The cause is jealousy.

"Why is she, why is she so lucky, first the young master, then the young master Zhiyi, then the eldest sister, and now even Miss Ye has been abducted by her." The tea cup was slammed down, "Tell me, does she know some magic tricks? If this continues, will even the wife stand by her side?"

"Your servant doesn't know." The servant girl beside her trembled, she had never seen her young lady get so angry.The girl sighed and forced herself to calm down. She can't mess up now. Qiao Jiuxiu has many backers now, but if she can't produce clothes that satisfy her wife tomorrow, no matter how many backers she has, she has no chance of turning over.

Eldest sister is going to the palace soon, and elder brother is often not at home, even if he is at home, it is not easy to manage the affairs of the house. Ms. Ye is still an outsider, so the most important thing is to please the wife. If the wife does not like it, Qiao Jiuxiu can only I have lived in pain all my life.

Therefore, no matter how good the clothes are tomorrow, she will find some discomfort.It's just that there are some things that she needs to say, and some things that she can't say.

"By the way, did you find out what their clothes will look like tomorrow? Without the gold thread, what will they use instead?" The girl regained her composure and asked the maid beside her.The maid nodded, and said with some doubts, "It is said that the gold thread is still used, but we have already taken away the previous gold thread. Miss Jiu's monthly payment is not much, so she must not be able to afford high-quality gold thread, so it must be It's shoddy, and it might not even be gold thread at all."

"Really?" The girl was in a good mood when she heard this, and whispered a few words in the maidservant's ear. The maidservant nodded and then retreated, planning for tomorrow's ups and downs.
