The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 27

"Naturally, my brother's knowledge and personality are on top of each other." Qiao Jiu smiled, and there is no need to say anything more at this time.

"It's just..." Ye Duanyi's shy face suddenly frowned again, looking charming, even Qiao Jiuxiu, who is also a daughter, felt a little distressed.

"Just what?" Qiao Jiuxiu asked with a smile.

"I just don't know if Mr. Qiao has compassion. He didn't even look at me just now." Ye Duanyi couldn't help showing a sad face when she said this. I was moved by Qiao Shaotang, otherwise I wouldn't care so much about his opinion.

"Sister Duanyi is overthinking. Sister Duanyi is gentle and pleasant. She is both a beauty and a talented woman. Any official son will fall in love with her at first sight. The reason why my brother didn't pay much attention to her sister Duanyi shows that my brother is a gentleman. " Qiao Jiuxiu comforted Ye Duanyi while smiling, this matter was about to happen, Qiao Jiuxin was also very happy.

"How to say?" Ye Duanyi asked involuntarily, still a little puzzled.

"If my brother just stares at a beauty, wouldn't that be too frivolous, and sister Duanyi wouldn't like such a man, would she?" Qiao Jiuxiu covered her mouth and laughed.

Ye Duanyi thought about it, and laughed with a "puchi", the doubts on her face gradually dissipated, and only the girl's coquettishness remained.

"Sister Duanyi has no doubts now, right?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Ye Duanyi's face and couldn't help asking.

"No, it's just that today I pretended to be a maid to lie to him. If he finds out in the future, will I be angry?" Ye Duanyi's small face just relaxed, and immediately showed a worried look.

"This is easier to handle. I'll find out after I test my brother later, and then tell him about you pretending to be a maid at the right time, and see how he reacts then." Qiao Jiuxiu rolled her eyes, and immediately I have some ideas in my mind.

"Then trouble Jiumei." Ye Duanyi finally showed a satisfied smile. The smile was like a spring flower, very bright and moving.

The two girls finished talking outside the cabin and then returned to the cabin. At this time, the two men had become good friends chatting and chatting. A few cups of tea became good friends.

"Jiumei, just now Brother Chen told me about the reunion of you two. I didn't expect my Jiumei to be so cute." Seeing Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi come in, Qiao Shaotang greeted Qiao Jiuxiu immediately. Chen Chu chatted very happily.

"Brother was joking. I was too anxious that day. Fortunately, I had Mr. Chen's help later." Qiao Jiuxiu also came to the coffee table and sat down, smiling at Qiao Shaotang and Chen Chu.

Chen Chu looked at Qiao Jiuxiu playfully, with a faint smile in his eyes all the time.

After that, the few people chatted happily for a long time, and spent an afternoon of leisure time on the boat, and only docked at the shore in the evening.

"I had a very pleasant chat with Brother Qiao today, why don't we go to Xianyaju to continue drinking tea." Chen Chu and Qiao Shaotang boarded the boat, still unfinished, and did not want to let Qiao Shaotang and Qiao Jiuxiu go.

"It's getting late today, and I have to send my sister back safely. Why don't we meet at Xianyaju for tea next time?" Qiao Shaotang naturally wanted to go to Xianyaju for tea with Chen Chu, but rationally told him no. Yes, after all there is Qiao Jiuxiu on the side, if the girl doesn't return to the house before dark, people will gossip about her.

"Forget it, let's meet again at another day." Chen Chu thought about it and felt that it should be so, so he bid farewell to Qiao Shaotang, and turned to look at Qiao Jiuxiu, "I don't know when we can see Miss Qiao again?"

"We will meet each other if we are destined." Qiao Jiuxiu smiled. Although she rarely had the opportunity to leave the mansion as a concubine of Qiao's mansion, but she could meet Chen Chu when she left the mansion these two times, which means that she and Chen Chu Chu Shi is really destined, since it is so destined, why worry about not seeing each other next time?
"Miss Qiao is right, and I also believe in the fate between us." Chen Chu said, and returned to the cruise ship with Wang Meng, and gradually went away.

Qiao Shaotang also hired a carriage, let Qiao Jiuxiu and Ye Duanyi sit in the carriage, while he drove the carriage outside.

When the carriage was halfway through, Qiao Jiuxiu came out of the cabin and sat beside Qiao Shaotang. She just wanted to take this opportunity to test Qiao Shaotang. Besides, Ye Duanyi was in the carriage at the moment, and the conversation between the two could be caught by her. Listen, it's a great opportunity.

"Jiumei, why did you come out? It's windy outside, you should go in." Qiao Shaotang asked with concern when he saw Qiao Jiuxiu coming out. He felt pity for this younger sister who had been neglected by Qiao's house since she was a child.

"Brother, sister wants to talk to you." Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiao Shaotang pleadingly as she spoke. In his memory, every time she looked at Qiao Shaotang with such eyes, Qiao Shaotang would definitely be overwhelmed.

"Okay, Jiumei, just say what you have to say." Qiao Shaotang was still a little worried, and deliberately took off the cloak he was wearing outside and put it on Qiao Jiuxiu's body, which made Qiao Jiuxiu feel very moved.

"Brother, sister heard that you have an engagement with Miss Ye Duanyi, the daughter of General Ye, is that right?" Qiao Jiuxiu said straight to the point, she didn't intend to go around on this issue, besides, Qiao Shaotang and her have always been on good terms , Qiao Jiuxiu would say anything directly, and would not hide it like other sisters.

"Jiumei's news is very well-informed. I just heard my mother mention it just now." When Qiao Shaotang talked about this topic, his expression was a little dark. When Qiao Jiuxiu saw his expression, he knew that he was also unwilling. He cannot be disobeyed.

"The elder brother has heard that Miss Ye is a dignified and virtuous woman. I have heard that Miss Ye is both talented and beautiful. Even the current emperor once wanted her to be a royal daughter-in-law!" Qiao Jiuxiu observed Qiao Shaotang. She said while looking at her face, what she said is also true, Ye Duanyi is indeed a very good woman, and only a woman like Ye Duanyi is worthy of Qiao Shaotang.

"Oh really? I haven't heard of it." Qiao Shaotang said lightly, expressionless.

"Brother is busy all day, so naturally he won't hear about it, but my younger sister has heard about it, and she was lucky enough to meet Ms. Ye once, and feels that Ms. Ye is worthy of her reputation." Qiao Jiuxiu further said.

"Really?" Qiao Shaotang responded lightly, as if he didn't have much interest in this future lady.

"Don't you think my brother is curious about what Miss Ye looks like?" Now it was Qiao Jiuxiu's turn to be a little surprised. Isn't Qiao Shaotang too calm?Although in ancient times, many couples only saw each other's true faces on the day of the wedding, but Qiao Jiuxiu would not believe what they said if they were curious about each other's appearance before.

"I don't believe it if I'm not curious, but what's the use of just being curious?" Qiao Shaotang smiled wryly as he spoke, and he could see that he also had a lot of helplessness about this matter.

Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiao Shaotang's helpless expression, and felt uncomfortable. She thought that as an unfavored concubine, she would not be able to take charge of her own marriage affairs, but she didn't expect that Qiao Shaotang, the grand young master of the Qiao family, was also helpless. Thinking so Seeing this, Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to Qiao Shaotang.

"Brother, don't worry, my sister has already waited for my brother to observe Miss Ye carefully. She looks like the maid next to me, and her figure is similar." Qiao Jiuxiu suddenly thought of a general Ye Duan as she spoke. Yi introduced a good method to Qiao Shaotang, and said immediately.

"Oh really? That should be considered dignified." Qiao Shaotang responded casually.

"The personality is also stable, and she behaves like a lady in dealing with people and things." Qiao Jiuxiu talked about Ye Duanyi's goodness while constantly thinking about how to introduce Ye Duanyi to Qiao Shaotang, which really hurt her.

"En." Qiao Shaotang nodded.

"Brother, what do you think of me as a maid?" Qiao Jiuxiu was a little anxious, and asked directly.

"Jiumei, you don't usually speak so abruptly, and besides, the girl is still in the carriage, telling her face to face how bad she is." Qiao Shaotang looked at Qiao Jiuxiu inexplicably, he finally found that Qiao Jiuxiu was a little strange today, and she The usual appearance is very different, the usual Qiao Jiuxiu is not so aggressive.

"It's okay, I just came out when I saw her falling asleep, brother, what do you think of her?" Qiao Jiuxiu immediately smiled, showing a sweet smile, this brother is good at everything, but sometimes he is too serious, even Can't even crack a joke.

"Jiumei, don't you want her to be my maid?" Qiao Shaotang thought about it for a long time, then suddenly asked secretly.

This question almost caused Qiao Jiuxiu to fall off the carriage. Isn't this Qiao Shaotang thinking too much?But since he thought so, he didn't explain himself, so he continued, "If my sister really meant that, what does my brother mean?"

Qiao Shaotang immediately looked at Jiumei solemnly. After watching for a long time, she found that her expression was very serious. Only then did she realize that she was not joking with herself, "Jiumei, you know that I have never liked women. Until now, I There is no housemaid."

What Qiao Shaotang said was also the truth. Everyone in Qiao's mansion knew that he didn't like women. Even his wife had deliberately arranged for him a beautiful girl, which didn't cause Qiao Shaotang to go overboard. It caused a lot of gossip, and the maids and mother-in-law all said behind their backs that the young master of the Qiao family liked men. This rumor has been spreading wildly for a long time before it gradually dissipated.

As soon as Qiao Jiuxiu heard Qiao Shaotang say this, she immediately thought of the rumor in her heart, and immediately asked nervously, "Brother doesn't really like men like in the rumors, does he?"

"Silly girl, of course not." Qiao Shaotang couldn't help being amused by Qiao Jiuxiu, and immediately shaved her nose with his hand, smiling all over his face, "It's just that I have studied sage books hard since I was a child, and there are many records in the book that are because of women's love. There are allusions to delaying important events because of sex, such as Daji Le, and Bao Si Le, the feudal lords of Fenghuo Opera, are all famous concubines, so I have always been somewhat repulsive to women, not because I really don’t like women.”

Qiao Shaotang's words were heartfelt, and he had never told anyone what was in his heart. This time, he was able to say what was in his heart to a concubine Jiumei, which made him feel a little unbelievable.
