The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 59

"I know this customer. A few days ago, the customer bought [-] dollars of high-quality red paper from us in one go, and sold out our store. How generous." The boss said suddenly, "The Qiao family Miss is also thinking about asking for some red paper, since you are friends, I would like to ask you for some red paper, it shouldn't be too difficult."

"You bought all the red paper?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Ye Yulang with some doubts, "Red paper can only be used to cut window grilles, why do you buy so much at once? And if you buy it for window grilles, you can wait until you go back It's not too late to buy. Isn't the red paper in the capital much better?"

"Miss, what you said is wrong. Who doesn't know that the red paper in our town is the best, and how many dignitaries from the capital have come here specifically to buy some red paper and go back to cut window grilles. During the Chinese New Year, they can be more beautiful." Happy. If you don’t believe me, ask this young master, is there such high-quality red paper in the capital?”

"Of course not." Ye Yulang smiled, "The reason why I bought so many red papers is because many friends in the capital asked me to bring them back when they heard that I was coming this time. I never thought that they would cause trouble for Jiumei , really shouldn’t.”

Qiao Jiuxiu originally wanted to blame Ye Yulang for buying up all the high-quality red paper in the town at one time, so she didn't know what to do now.But Ye Yulang's apology was considered very sincere, so she had no choice but to smile awkwardly, "It's okay, it's okay, Second Young Master Ye spare me two or three knives for the high-quality red paper, I wonder if it's okay? I can pay double the price .”

Qiao Jiuxiu asked very carefully, thinking that many people asked him to bring back the red paper, he must have already calculated how much knives this household would need and how much knives would be needed by that household, and there was nothing left over.Although the amount she wanted was not much, she was afraid that Ye Yulang would not be able to get it out, and she was not very familiar with him. If she let him be blamed by her friends because of herself, it would be somewhat unworthy, so she could only take it lightly. Tone, I don't know if he agrees or agrees.

"Double price?" Ye Yulang suppressed a smile, "Jiumei, do we still need money to measure our relationship? But there is still enough money for three or five dollars. If Jiumei needs it, just take it. It's family now."

Qiao Jiuxiu blushed a little, knowing that Ye Yulang was a military commander, so he often didn't think much of it when it came to words.However, they will soon become a family. After arriving in Beijing in the new year, the elder brother will marry Ye Duanyi, and Ye Yulang will be regarded as relatives at that time.Now it's just a three-knife red paper, it doesn't matter if you think about it, Ye Yulang won't even care about this.So he nodded very happily, "So, that's really great."

"It's just..." Ye Yulang sighed, "I didn't bring out the red paper when I came out, but stored them in a warehouse on the outskirts of the city. If Jiumei needs it urgently, I can only let you accompany me there I've gone there. If there's no rush, I'll send someone to the house later."

"I dare not let Second Young Master Ye send someone to the house." Qiao Jiuxiu quickly refused, not because she felt that this would cause trouble to Ye Yulang and make her feel embarrassed.It's because the wife doesn't like being too close to the people of the Ye family. If Ye Yulang's people send the red paper to Qiao's residence with great fanfare, the wife will inevitably feel a little dissatisfied.So after thinking about it carefully, I'd better go get it myself.

"Then Lao Jiumei will go with me." Ye Yulang was overjoyed when he heard that Qiao Jiuxiu was going to accompany him to get the red paper. This opportunity, this time out, was unexpectedly met.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and ordered Jinxiu and Hongxiu to buy all the things to be prepared for the New Year, and then wait for her outside the courtyard, she will come back before dinner.

Although the wife allows her to walk around at will and go shopping outside the house, there is one rule that must be followed, that is, she must return to the house before dinner.There is a person in the house who registers daily entry and exit, so if you come back late, your wife will definitely know about it.Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.Simply the outskirts of the city are not far from here. If you take a carriage, it may only take about an hour.

If you go back, it's still more than enough.Qiao Jiuxiu thought that Jinxiu and Hongxiu would have to bring a lot of things, so it would be more convenient to go back in a carriage, but Ye Yulang didn't drive when he came out, but chose a big jujube-colored horse, which was in line with his general qualities.Qiao Jiuxiu found it interesting, and asked Ye Yulang to rent a horse for himself, and the two of them rode back together, which was much more interesting than sitting in a carriage.

Although Jinxiu felt that this was somewhat inappropriate, she still didn't say much.Hongxiu pulled her to continue shopping. They had a lot to buy today, so they couldn't delay any longer.

Second Young Master Ye is a gentleman, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about Qiao Jiuxiu.

Qiao Jiuxiu chatted with Ye Yulang all the way, talking about all kinds of interesting things, most of which were some knowledge on the road. Ye Yulang has been fighting abroad in these years and has been to many places, so his knowledge is much richer than that of Qiao Jiuxiu. He talked with Qiao Jiuxiu about the customs of Xiqiang , Said the long yellow sand over there, the boundless next door.Qiao Jiuxiu, a little girl who grew up in the water town since she was a child, yearns for it very much.Qiao Jiuxiu is very envious of Ye Yulang's life, and hopes that one day she can have such a legendary experience.

Suddenly, a muffled thunder was heard in the sky, and the sky suddenly became dark.Ye Yulang cursed in a low voice, maybe it's going to rain.When I came out, the sky was still clear, so I didn't expect it to rain, so I didn't bring rain gear.Qiao Jiuxiu also looked very worried, but already in the suburbs, there is no place to hide from the rain, and there is still a long distance to the warehouse, what should I do?

"It's going to rain." Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, feeling that she was so unlucky. When she went out to do the shopping, she found that the red paper had been sold out. She finally got Ye Yulang to spare her, but in the end it was raining again, and she didn't know how to go out today. Did you look at the almanac when you were young? Why is everything going wrong when you go out?Ye Yulang heard the worry in Qiao Jiuxiu's tone, took off his robe and threw it to Qiao Jiuxiu, "Just use this to keep out the rain later."

"Then what do you do?" The New Year's Eve is approaching, and the weather is naturally very cold. Except for his outer robe, Ye Yulang looks a little thin.He shrugged his shoulders lightly, and said in a very relaxed tone, "Jiumei, don't worry, I'm a man, but it's no big deal to be exposed to rain and cold."

Qiao Jiuxiu was unwilling, but Ye Yulang insisted again and again, she couldn't help it, so she could only put the robe on her body.There are already pattering raindrops falling, although not very heavy, but it is estimated that it will become bigger and bigger, and it will not stop for a while.Qiao Jiuxiu could only sigh slightly, looking at the sky anxiously, not knowing whether to continue walking or retreat.

"Do you have to follow me to the warehouse today?" Although Ye Yulang's body was already soaked and the raindrops hit him, his expression was calm, as if he didn't take the raindrops to heart at all.That's right, how could it be possible for a military general who licks blood with a knife to not be able to bear even a little rain?

"Yeah." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. If I don't get the paper back today, I will delay another day if I come back tomorrow, which may affect the progress of the Chinese New Year. This is too inappropriate, and it's all here, why? I can go back.

"Then get on the horse." Ye Yulang suddenly stretched out his hand, "You get on my horse, we ride together, this way the speed will be much faster, and we won't get to the warehouse already wet."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, that was the only way.Putting his hand on Ye Yulang's, he led him onto the back of his horse. "Hold me tight." Ye Yulang simply said these three words, and then galloped all the way.

Qiao Jiuxiu's horse stopped in place and did not catch up.But neither of them should have noticed it.

In the pattering rain, a big maroon red horse galloped by, splashing a little mud. There was a man and a woman on the horseback. The man was wearing a black gown. The man's sleeve, inadvertently wanted to keep a certain distance from him, but because the horse was galloping so fast, she had to lean on the man's back.

Qiao Jiuxiu blushed violently, knowing that this was just a stopgap measure, relying on Ye Yulang's body, her heartbeat became rapid.Biting her lips tightly, she wanted to speak to relieve the embarrassment of the atmosphere, but she didn't know what to say, so she could only keep silent.

Ye Yulang hoped in his heart that the road could be further away, and the rain would not stop. It was also a very good thing to keep galloping in the rain with Qiao Jiuxiu.But in the end, I still saw a warehouse not far away.

"We're here." Ye Yulang rolled over and got off the horse, and then helped Qiao Jiuxiu off the horse. Because of the rain, both of them were in a bit of a panic.The guards guarding the warehouse saw the two approaching, so they came up to meet them.Seeing Ye Yulang, he couldn't help but widen his eyes, "Second Young Master, this is?"

"Bring us some clean clothes. If you have something to ask, we will talk about it later." Ye Yulang handed over the reins to the guard, and then brought Qiao Jiuxiu into the room. Qiao Jiuxiu sneezed. Rain, it's really cold.

"Are you okay. Why don't you go take a hot bath first. I'll ask someone to boil water for you, take off your wet clothes and change into a clean one." Ye Yulang couldn't help feeling a little worried when he heard Qiao Jiuxiu sneezed .Qiao Jiuxiu thanked him for his kindness, and followed a servant girl to the side hall to change clothes.

Qiao Jiuxiu came out wearing a water-blue robe. The sleeves of this robe were large, and she looked heroic and a bit aura. It seemed to be Ye Duanyi's clothes, and she felt very comfortable wearing them.
