The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 247 Pull out the radish and bring out the mud

Qiao Jiuxiu went into her courtyard, although she didn't come back for more than a month, but the place was cleaned very cleanly, it looked that Jinxiu and Hongxiu were very caring and handled the matter very well.Jinxiu and Hongxiu were also very happy to see Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly return to Qiao's residence, and they immediately came out to welcome her.Qiao Jiuxiu teased happily, "Did the two of you think about me when I wasn't around?"

Both Jinxiu and Hongxiu nodded repeatedly, but they both looked haggard, as if they were worrying about something in their hearts.After all, she has been with them for a long time, so Qiao Jiuxiu quickly saw that there was something wrong with their expressions. "Jinxiu, what happened to you and Hongxiu? Why do you look so lost? If something happened, you can tell me. Let's find a way to solve it, okay?"

Hongxiu nodded slightly, "Actually, it's really hard to say. Miss Nine should already know that something happened to General Ye." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Although she didn't know the specifics, but in the hall just now, both his wife and sister Duanyi said This matter, this matter seems to have something to do with the Ninth Prince.Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu didn't seem to understand very well, Jinxiu continued to talk. "The situation of General Ye is a bit troublesome. Someone falsely accused him of embezzling a batch of military rations. This incident made the emperor very angry, so he ordered the removal of General Ye from his official position and fined a lot of money. After all, the Qiao family and the Ye family are relatives, so He was also implicated to a certain extent. Not to mention that the master was dismissed, he was also fined a large sum of money. The wife and the people in the house have been anxious about this matter recently."

After Qiao Jiuxiu heard this, she could only sigh deeply. This is a major national event, and she is just an ordinary woman, so she doesn't understand the pros and cons and the reasons for it.I don't know how I can help.He also heard Jinxiu say that the wife has been afraid to go out to play horses with the wives of officials recently, and that she doesn't spend money where she can, and has even dismissed many maids and servants.She and Hongxiu are also within the scope of dismissal because there is no lady to serve for the time being.

In the past, if the Qiao Mansion dismissed the maids, they could still receive a good severance package, and they could go home and live a good life, but this time the Qiao Mansion is in an extraordinary period, and there is no money to give to the servants at all, so they can only It is a direct dismissal, and my wife knows that I am sorry for them, but it is also a helpless choice.Fortunately, the servant has been treated kindly by the Qiao Mansion for many years, so he didn't have many complaints.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded lightly, it seems that the days of Qiao Mansion are really difficult recently.Although she is a beautiful princess in name, she doesn't have any real power at all, and she can't let the prince to support Qiao's mansion.He could only let out a soft breath, "By the way, Hongxiu, I couldn't find a suitable maid in the palace. If you think it's suitable, come with me to the palace."

Hongxiu nodded, "Okay, miss, don't worry, I will definitely serve you well. With my lady by your side, no one will dare to bully you."

Hong Xiu's words eased the already extremely embarrassing atmosphere.Qiao Jiuxiu also nodded again and again, she can trust Hongxiu's personality.Jinxiu was not happy when she heard this, she muttered slightly, "Miss, you are going too far, just let Hongxiu accompany you, and leave me alone in Qiao's residence, you really have no conscience .”

Qiao Jiuxiu knew that this girl was jealous, but she didn't really care about her.So he spread his hands, "How can you say that I have no conscience? I am too conscientious, that's why I can't let you go back to the palace with me. Tell me, have you done anything with Song Yu recently?" ?”

When Qiao Jiuxiu was in Qiao's residence, he found that their relationship was very ambiguous. Ever since he was in charge of the year-end affairs that year, the relationship between Jinxiu and Song Yu had been ambiguous. various preferences.It has been more than a year now, and I am afraid that I have already decided to live forever.

"Miss." Jinxiu blushed and was very coy, "Are you going to talk about this? I have nothing to do with Song Yu at all. Miss, please don't talk nonsense and let others make wild guesses."

Jinxiu turned her head to one side, her face was flushed red, it was really cute.Qiao Jiuxiu felt that she should stop teasing her, "Let's go, go back to my room, I'll see if there is anything else I need to take to the palace."

"Miss, isn't there everything in the palace? Why do you have to take everything from home?" Hongxiu asked a little puzzled.Although she has never been to the Wang's Mansion, but from what Jinxiu said, it is much more grand than Qiao's Mansion. What else does such a luxurious courtyard not have?Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, the palace is indeed full of everything, as long as he needs to talk to Qinghe and Yingluan.But she has lived in Qiao Mansion for so long, there are always some things that are very precious and cannot be let go.

So under Qiao Jiuxiu's repeated insistence, she returned to her room. Everything was the same as when she left. Qiao Jiuxiu walked to the bed and put away her usual embroidery needles and threads. The days in the palace were very leisurely. It happened to be a good time to study the embroidery female red, and found a few clothes that I like on weekdays, and handed them to Hongxiu for her to pack, and they can take them away together when the time comes.

Suddenly, Qiao Jiuxiu discovered that there was actually a pink and white wedding dress parked in her closet. This was clearly the wedding dress she had given to Qiao Qixiu before, why did it come back to her?Jinxiu followed Qiao Jiuxiu's gaze and knew that she had found the wedding dress, so she explained, "Miss, the thing is like this, this wedding dress was sent back by Miss Seven before. She said she wore it once After that, it won’t be needed anymore, so I put it here with Jiumei, so I can think about it.”

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, but she didn't quite understand what Qiao Qixiu meant.Before Seventh Sister returned the wedding dress, she should have known that she was married and became a princess. What's the use of sending back the wedding dress at this time?If she really wanted to hold a wedding with the Ninth Prince, she would definitely not be able to wear a pink and white wedding dress.She waved her hand gently, remembering that she had been embroidering stitch by stitch for a long time. At that time, she seemed to still have a longing for love, and she never thought that her own marriage would look like that in the end. "Find a place and put it away."

This wedding dress represented Qiao Jiuxiu's longing for beautiful love. If she guessed correctly, she would never have the chance to wear it in the future.Even if it is to commemorate the past yesterday.In the past, water flows eastward, and it will never come back.

The things were almost packed, but Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly noticed that there was a white gold jade belt parked beside the bed. This was the belt that Chen Chu asked her to make later. She finished the belt and gave it to Chen Chu before she had time, but she had already done it. Married to the Ninth Prince's Mansion and became his concubine.And Chen Chu is also completely impossible.Do you want to bring this belt to the Ninth Prince's Mansion?Do you want to give it to Chen Chu?
What to do to him, this man, after all, still betrayed her.

But in his own room, it was inappropriate to keep a man's belt, and it was such a prominent belt.Qiao Jiuxiu thought about it, but let Hongxiu take the belt with her.

"Miss, are you still thinking about that bastard Chen Chu?" Jinxiu is clear about everything between Chen Chu and Qiao Jiuxiu. , but now under the same roof, although there are not many opportunities to meet each other, when she thinks about the past, she still feels sad in her heart.He could only wave his hand slightly, "No, I just think it's not bad to give this belt to the prince, I'm mad at him."

After all, a little girl can only think of a way to take revenge on a man, and there is only such a simple one.Jinxiu nodded, comforting Qiao Jiuxiu not to think too much, Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, everything is over, she and Chen Chu have no possibility at all, why is she thinking about him unrealistically?After all, the relationship is a matter between two people. He chose to give up emotionally, and her persistence alone is meaningless.

The things were almost packed, and Ruyi rushed over all the way, saying that the dinner party was almost ready.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, although it was a little early for the banquet at this time, it was not a big deal, after all, she was really hungry.Ruyi glanced at Jinxiu and Hongxiu, as if she had something to say to Qiao Jiuxiu alone, Qiao Jiuxiu understood what Ruyi meant, and let the two maids go down first.

"Ruyi, what else do you want to tell me?" Qiao Jiuxiu thought about not keeping his wife waiting for too long, so it's better to explain things clearly.Ruyi nodded, "Miss, it's like this. You know the current economic situation of Qiao's mansion. I'm afraid there is no way to have big fish and meat at the dinner party. The wife is very face-saving, so if you are not satisfied with the food, please ask the lady to please." Don't say it, after all, there are outsiders in the house."

The outsider in Ruyi's mouth is naturally Yingluan.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, she has never been particular about food.As for Yingluan, she is a very smart and powerful woman, and she should not make a big fuss about small issues like eating.So let Ruyi rest assured.He went to tell Yingluan to come over after a few words.

Ruyi nodded, then stepped back.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed softly. Why is the Qiao family, which used to be a feast for the eyes, now full of depression?Going home this time, she didn't see her elder brother. She knew that he was working in General Ye's barracks, and she didn't know if he was implicated.

Although the wife and the master are not very kind to him, Qiao Jiuxiu still regards this place as his home, no matter what, he doesn't want anything to happen at home.If she can help Qiao's mansion through a difficult time, no matter what she is asked to do, she will do her best.But she is just an ordinary woman, what can she do?I'm afraid I can only watch the Qiao Mansion's decline day by day, and don't know what to do.
