The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 62 How to Use the Extra Money

If it were someone else who said these words, Qiao Jiuxiu would definitely be upset, thinking it was because she didn't believe in her own ability.But Qiao Jiuxiu didn't think too much about Yu Jinxiu's words, knowing that no matter what, she was doing it for her own good.Slightly nodded, "Jinxiu, I don't want to worry about this matter. But my wife was very dissatisfied with me before, and our position in the Qiao Mansion is already in jeopardy. If we don't work hard to get the chance to perform at this time, we may suffer a lot. matter."

Jinxiu nodded, she understood what Qiao Jiuxiu said.It's just that I can't bear to see the lady live so hard all day, not only to manage the year-end affairs, but also to be wary of the ladies from all the prefectures and courtyards, to see if they will stab the knife in the back again.I probably felt that this question was too heavy, so I had to change the subject, "By the way, miss, shall we go out tomorrow? Pearl's Longevity Archway has been completed, and Hongxiu said he wanted to go and see it."

"Just let Hongxiu go alone." Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, she had no friendship with Pearl, and she helped build the Longevity Archway only because she felt sorry for her.Although I really want to go and see it, but thinking that I have been a little diligent when I left the house recently, I am afraid of offending my wife, so I want to restrain myself for a while.It suddenly occurred to him that Jinxiu and Pearl also had some friendship, "Jinxiu, if you want to go, you can go by yourself, you don't need to report to me."

"Miss is worried that she will be upset by going out of the house recently?" Jinxiu seemed to understand Qiao Jiuxiu's inner thoughts, so she asked.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, she did have such concerns.Jinxiu smiled lightly, "If Miss is worried about this matter, then there is no need to worry about it at all. Just now Hongxiu came over and said, Miss will go to the Taoist temple to repay the gods tomorrow to petition, and asked if you want to go together."

"Elder Sister? Rehabilitation?" Qiao Jiuxiu didn't realize it for a while, why did she suddenly think of repaying her gods?
"Miss, have you forgotten?" Jinxiu reminded from the side, "It's just the signature you asked for last time, saying how diving can hide dragons. My wife likes it very much, and she said that she must pay her back. Eldest sister Just take this matter down and let the young lady go with you."

"Okay, since it's Eldest Sister's request, then let's go to pay back the gods together tomorrow." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded. Since Eldest Sister took the initiative in this matter, it wouldn't cause other people to complain.Although the eldest sister is leaving Qiao's mansion.But after all, she is entering the palace to be a concubine, who would dare to provoke the future empress?
Jinxiu nodded, and handed the list of goods purchased today to Qiao Jiuxiu, "Miss, this is the goods we bought today, because the dried fruit has not been selling very well recently, so it is much cheaper than when it was budgeted, saving a little money. How do you say we should deal with it?"

Qiao Jiuxiu glanced at Jinxiu, knowing that this little girl must have her own plans before asking herself this question.So he nodded slightly, "I want to hear your thoughts first, and if what you say is reasonable, I will agree to you."

"Miss, do you still remember the last time we pawned jewelry for gold thread?" Jinxiu reminded, "Miss doesn't have any jewelry in the first place, and most of those things were bought by the young master for the young lady, which is very meaningful. It would be a pity to keep it in the pawn shop, why don't we redeem it."

Remembering the reluctance in Qiao Jiuxiu's eyes when she went to the pawn shop last time.So this time, after finally getting such an opportunity, Jinxiu thought that Qiao Jiuxiu could get what she wanted and redeem those jewelry back.

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip and shook her head slightly.

"Miss, only you, me, and Hongxiu know about this. Can you trust the three of us? If you miss this opportunity, you may have to wait for a long time. I don't know if the boss can wait." Jinxiu guessed Qiao Jiuxiu didn't agree because she was worried that others would know about it.Qiao Jiuxiu shook her head slightly, they naturally believed it, but this matter must not be done this way.

"Jinxiu, listen to me. If you want people to not know, you have to do it yourself. If we make a move this time, the consequences will be unimaginable in the future. I don't want to gamble for a little jewelry, you know? Don't talk about it again in the future."

Although she loves and cares about those jewelry, it's not worth the risk for jewelry.Moreover, Jinxiu and Hongxiu had to be put together.

"Okay." Jinxiu sighed, she knew that Qiao Jiuxiu would not agree with her opinion, and she was a little unhappy, "The lady said how to deal with these silver taels."

"Return it all to the accountant. Then ask her to take some of it for us to make temporary maneuvers. If you don't want to, then forget it." Qiao Jiuxiu expressed her thoughts. Now is the troubled time. If she behaves better, her wife will also Rest assured to her, and the days to come will be easier.She doesn't like playing tricks, but if she doesn't play tricks, she won't be able to survive in Qiao's mansion.

Jinxiu nodded reluctantly, although she was reluctant, she still had to follow Qiao Jiuxiu's wishes.Qiao Jiuxiu knew that Jinxiu was reluctant to part with it, so she patted her on the shoulder slightly, "Don't worry, when we pass the New Year's Eve and get the wife's reward, we will go and redeem the jewelry, so you should be satisfied."

"Those are not Jinxiu's jewellery, you can dispose of them however you like." Jinxiu pouted, obviously angry.Qiao Jiuxiu put her hands on her hips like a shrew, "Ahhhh, I think you are getting more and more up and down, do you talk to Miss like this?"

While talking, he started to fight with Jinxiu, and soon Jinxiu's anger dissipated.

…………

On the second day, Qiao Jiuxiu went to Qiao Yuanxiu's courtyard early. The eldest sister had already woken up and was admiring the bouquet of wintersweet in the courtyard. The plum blossoms were very beautiful and fragrant.In the rustling winter day, it seems to have a special taste.

"Sister, are you enjoying the flowers?" Qiao Jiuxiu walked over a few steps, Qiao Yuanxiu nodded, and took Qiao Jiuxiu's hand. Among the many younger sisters, her favorite is her ninth younger sister, who does not compete for favor and is not weak, just like a lotus flower Generally speaking, the pavilions are clean and planted, and they are not stained with fine dust.Knowing which things to avoid and which things to promise, is a very likable smart person.

"Jiumei came here really early today, so don't be in a hurry, we two sisters should have a good conversation." Qiao Yuanxiu looked at the sky, the sun had not risen yet, and he was not in a hurry to go out. It happened that he hadn't seen her for a few days Qiao Jiu showed off, so I thought about having a good chat with her.

Jinxiu and Hongxiu stepped aside tactfully, Qiao Yuanxiu sighed softly, not because he didn't trust them, but because there are some things, the less people know about them, the better.

"Where did Jiu Mei go yesterday? She actually delayed her meal." Qiao Yuanxiu asked straight to the point.Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip lightly. Although she couldn't bear to lie to her elder sister, she thought about not letting others know. "I went to the neighboring county to buy red paper yesterday. Didn't elder sister hear about it?"

Qiao Yuanxiu shook her head slightly, but she was not angry, "Jiumei, you even kept it from me, but it was a bit dishonest. The clothes you wore when you came back yesterday were probably Ye Duanyi's. She has lived with me for a long time. , I know all about her clothes."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip, knowing that she couldn't hide it from her elder sister.I can only tell about what happened yesterday when I met Ye Yulang. She said that when she went to buy the red paper, she found that he had bought all the red paper. She had no choice but to ask Ye Yulang to give her some.After Ye Yulang agreed, he went to the warehouse on the outskirts of the city to get the red paper, but was delayed for some time when he encountered heavy rain on the way, and his clothes got wet, so he changed into Ye Duanyi's clothes.But he didn't say anything about sharing a ride with Ye Yulang.

Although she thought it was just an expedient measure, she didn't take it to heart.But I'm afraid that the elder sister will think too much, and it will cause unnecessary trouble at that time, so it will not be worthwhile.

Qiao Yuanxiu nodded. Yesterday she felt something was wrong, so she asked Hong Xiu what happened, but no matter how she asked, Hong Xiu just kept shaking her head and didn't speak.It must be Qiao Jiuxiu who told her not to tell anyone, but this girl's mouth is quite strict.She won't worry about following Jiumei in the future. "So I'm relieved, but Jiumei should pay attention. Although the wife is not angry this time, there is no guarantee that you will be safe next time, so it is better to follow the rules of the house."

"Of course." Qiao Jiuxiu knew that Qiao Yuanxiu was doing it for her own good, so she didn't refute, and nodded repeatedly, "It's just that I had a quarrel with Sixth Sister yesterday, and Sixth Sister seems to dislike me very much, and always targets me everywhere, and I think this government A lot of people are her eyeliner."

Although Qiao Liuxiu didn't get any cheap from her yesterday, Qiao Jiuxiu was somewhat worried, after all her every move was under her surveillance.

"Jiu Mei's words are wrong. Liu Mei is afraid that she wants to learn how to take care of the year-end affairs, so she sent someone to watch you, so that you can learn better. Didn't you say that you want to learn how to cultivate yourself? Sixth Sister can write well. To write well, one needs to cultivate one’s character. Ninth Sister can find someone to study and see how Sixth Sister cultivates one’s character. It’s also good to walk around and learn more between sisters.”

Qiao Yuanxiu said these words impeccably, so Qiao Jiuxiu also understood what she meant.Qiao Yuanxiu meant that she could also send someone to monitor Qiao Liuxiu's every move. Although it wouldn't harm anyone, she wouldn't be passive every time.

"Elder Sister is really a good idea, Jiu Mei wrote it down." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly.

Seeing that Qiao Jiuxiu had already talked about the same thing, Qiao Yuanxiu nodded slightly, "Jiumei, you must pay more attention to this matter in the future. You must not have the intention of harming others, but you must also be defensive. In Qiao's mansion, Every move you make will have many pairs of eyes staring at you, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, not every time you can save yourself from danger."
