The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 248 Unhappy dinner at a table

Before the dinner party started, Qiao Jiuxiu found Yingluan, and briefly explained to him the current predicament that Qiao's mansion was facing, and said that if she would be unhappy about eating later, she must not say it.Yingluan nodded repeatedly, and said that she was very considerate of Qiao's current difficulties, and she was originally born in a poor family, but only because of following the Ninth Prince, she only lived a few days of prosperity.

In any case, people must not forget their roots.Qiao Jiuxiu was very happy after hearing this.So I took Yingluan to the main hall together, the food had already been prepared, it was just a very common home-cooked side dish.There are no birds and beasts on the table in the past, but it also looks very light and delicious.The wife invites everyone to sit down.Yingluan was standing by the side, it seemed that she didn't intend to take the seat.

"Big butler, why don't you sit down?" Yingluan had already revealed her identity when she came here last time, so everyone in Qiao's residence knew that Yingluan was the steward of the palace. Talkable.Yingluan is still the housekeeper of the palace, maybe Qiao Jiuxiu will still need the help of Yingluan's housekeeper in many aspects in the future, the wife is a sensible person, so naturally she has to give Yingluan three points.

"Yingluan is a servant, and the servant should stand when eating, how can he sit with the master? I know Mrs. Qiao is sympathetic to our servant, but we should also be particular about our servants." Yingluan slightly blessed his wife Blessed body, on the surface is respectful and humble, but no one knows what is going on in his heart.The wife also understood, so she quickly greeted her, "The chief steward is cheating on himself by saying that. Today, he specially asked the chief steward to come for a walk, so let's sit down and eat together. After all, we are a family."

Now that the words have reached this place, Yingluan is not refusing.So she sat down beside Qiao Jiuxiu.Ye Duanyi sat across from Qiao Jiuxiu, but she didn't seem to have the slightest appetite in the face of a fairly sumptuous dinner.

"By the way, sister Duanyi, why didn't I see my little nephew?" Ye Duanyi gave birth on the third day after Qiao Jiuxiu married into the palace, and it was said that she was still a boy. I have been happy for a long time.But because I was too weak at that time, I didn't come here to visit.After mentioning the child, Ye Duanyi's expression softened a little, "The child has already fallen asleep. This child is fine in everything, but he is too lethargic. Otherwise, I can let Jiumei see if this child has any problems." How cute."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. It is very normal for children to like to sleep. Anyway, there are still many opportunities in the future, so don't disturb the children's sleep.Just when he was about to change the subject, Yingluan suddenly interrupted and said, "Princess, you have a very good temper. You are not angry when they treat you like this. You just want to see your nephew, and they will make excuses in every possible way. Aren't you angry when you are dismissed for such a reason?"

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Yingluan strangely. In his impression, Yingluan shouldn't have such a fussy personality, but why was he so concerned about this matter?He could only give Yingluan a look and tell her to pay attention, but don't talk nonsense.

The atmosphere was very embarrassing for a while, the wife laughed twice, "Jiu girl, I remember you used to like fish heads the most, come, try it, this is Uncle Wang's best fish head with chopped peppers."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Although she didn't like eating fish heads very much, her wife took the fish heads obediently in order to relieve the embarrassing anger at the scene, but she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She had been with his wife for many years, and she unexpectedly I don't know what I like, is it because my wife is getting old and forgetful, or is it that she has never cared about her daughter?She sighed softly, but she didn't want Yingluan to see all these disappointments.

Yingluan was able to be the housekeeper of the palace at a young age, so she naturally has her advantages. It is one aspect to be able to come to things, and the more important point is to be able to observe words and feelings. Sometimes, even if it is just a seemingly She can accurately capture every look in Wu's eyes, and then use this to spy on her heart.Then there was another chuckle, "Ma'am, have you forgotten, the princess doesn't seem to like eating fish heads at all. And even if you eat fish heads, you can't eat the heads of such small fish. There is a sixteen Tomorrow, I will send someone to bring carp that weighs more than a catty to Mrs. Qiao."

The face of the wife became more and more embarrassing, but just after eating, Yingluan had already given herself two downs, but Yingluan is a member of the palace, it depends on the master if she fights enough, she still wants to give the Ninth Prince some face, so bear with it The unhappiness in my heart.Squeezing out a smile, "That's really great. I'll be waiting for the steward to bring us fish tomorrow. Let me show you how big this carp really is."

"Hey, Jiumei, why do you want to come back today?" During the words, Qiao Shaotang came back, but it seemed that he hadn't rested for a long time. There is no difference from before.Qiao Jiuxiu said hello big brother, and then she didn't know what to say to Qiao Shaotang.She had only left Qiao's mansion for more than a month, and it felt like a long time had passed. When they met again, she didn't know how to speak or what to say.The elder brother who used to be close to him now seems to have a deep generation gap with him.

Qiao Shaotang sat down beside Ye Duanyi, and it seemed that he did not underestimate Ye Duanyi because of the Ye family's loss of power.This may be the only benefit of the Ye family's loss of power. The feeling of adversity is the most precious relationship between husband and wife. Qiao Jiuxiu is also happy that her eldest brother and sister Duanyi can have such an experience.Then he glanced at Yingluan beside him, and said in a low voice, "Yingluan, stop talking nonsense later."

Qiao Jiuxiu felt that Yingluan was definitely not the kind of bitter and mean person, but why did she target his wife everywhere, making her unable to step down.Yingluan could only nod to Qiao Jiuxiu, saying that she would definitely pay attention.

When Qiao Jiuxiu heard this, he let out a slight breath.I thought there must be no mistakes this time.But just now, when she felt this way, Yingluan's next words completely shocked her. "But having said that, Mrs. Qiao, is this what you eat for the concubine? The palace is just an ordinary servant, and the food is much better than this."

As soon as this was said, the wife couldn't hold back at all.Although Qiao's mansion is not what it used to be, there is no need for a servant to teach him a lesson.So he patted the table lightly, but because of the prince's face, he still endured it.A meal, eating is also lifeless.

Qiao Jiuxiu originally planned to stay in the mansion for two days, but found that his wife disliked Yingluan very much, so she could only decide to return to the palace that night.On the carriage, she felt very angry, why did Yingluan have to show embarrassment to his wife?So he asked Hong Xiu to drive in front of him, and let Ying Luan get into the carriage.

"Yingluan, do you think I'm a princess?" Qiao Jiuxiu raised her eyebrows, pretending to be a princess.Yingluan looked at Qiao Jiuxiu strangely, not knowing why she got angry.However, when Qiao Jiuxiu put on the airs of a princess, she was somewhat similar to the Ninth Prince.If you don't get angry, you're done. When you get angry, you will rush to the crown, and the blood will flow like a river.

Yingluan had never seen Qiao Jiuxiu in such a state before, so she quickly knelt down, "Miss Nine, listen to my explanation. It makes sense for me to do this. I heard that your family's life in Qiao's Mansion is very bad. , because you are a lady, Mrs. Qiao has made things difficult for you. This time when you come back to Qiao’s mansion, I want to teach them a lesson, telling them that if they dare to bully you, it will definitely end badly, so I made my own decisions and made things difficult for Mrs. Yes. If you offend Miss, I will apologize to Miss right here."

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Yingluan suspiciously, and finally explained the cause and effect clearly.He could only nod his head, "Yingluan, I know you must have your own reasons for doing this. You are doing it for my own good, so I won't punish you this time. But I want to tell you that I am with Qiao's family. , there is nothing wrong with it. Although my wife treated me badly before, we are all one family after all. Now that there is a problem in Qiao's house, I can't give charcoal in a timely manner. Instead, I will make trouble. How can I feel at ease like this? You say so. "

When Yingluan heard this, she nodded again and again, only saying that she hadn't considered the consequences clearly, and hoped that Qiao Jiuxiu would never take it to heart.He also said that tomorrow, he would make a special trip to Qiao's mansion to apologize.

Qiao Jiuxiu waved her hand, forget it, although Yingluan is just a servant, but the servant also has the backbone of a servant, and asking her to go to Qiao's mansion to apologize will hurt his face, and the wife may not appreciate it, thinking they are nothing but It's just that one is a white face and the other is a black face.

"Get up." Qiao Jiuxiu didn't want to embarrass Yingluan, and told her to get up, "By the way, you can tell me why the Qiao Mansion was implicated. I heard that this matter has something to do with the prince."

"Princess, you are embarrassing me. I, Yingluan, have always been a servant. These are all matters in the court. If you ask me, I don't know." Yingluan shook her head slightly. She still knew a little about this matter, but she couldn't treat it as Looking at Qiao Jiuxiu's face, the prince hit the Ye family very hard this time, and it also affected Qiao's mansion. It might cause the husband and wife to quarrel. She should not create this fuse, otherwise the prince will definitely not Spare yourself.

Qiao Jiuxiu flattened her lips, well, Yingluan is just a servant, so she won't embarrass Yingluan, but she must find out about this matter, it seems that she needs to find a time to talk to Lord Ninth, but she doesn't Knowing when I will see the legendary Ninth Prince, and she is only the daughter of a concubine, the Ninth Prince might not pay attention to me at all.
