The Road of the Concubine's First Wife
Chapter 72
Chapter 72
The Ninth Prince sent someone over like an episode, and soon people's attention was shifted to other places. The wife ordered Qiao Jiuxiu to serve the food. Qiao Jiuxiu followed Jinxiu's advice before serving snacks and desserts first. Then there are cold dishes, stir-fried dishes, and finally the main course, soup and rice.Every dish is delicious and delicious.And it's expensive because it's very chic. Although the ingredients are not expensive, it feels good to eat.
"It's the first time I've eaten such braised elbows. It's not greasy at all, and the meat is so tender that it melts in your mouth." Zhao Xiaodie smiled as she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, "Just eat it. Too much, I'm worried that my body will gain weight, my master doesn't like fat women."
As soon as she finished speaking, many people laughed with her, saying that Mrs. Wang is so fat, it is clearly not enough for one inch, and more than one cent, she is completely in perfect shape.
"Mrs. Wang, you don't have to worry. Because this dish is made of tofu, but it is made by braised elbow. It not only has the mellow aroma of meat, but also is not greasy. You don't have to worry about affecting your figure. Tofu is the best Food, as the so-called shallot mixed with tofu, live to 99." Due to the relationship of the host, this is the first time that Qiao Jiuxiu has served as the chairman and his wife and eldest sister to accompany the guests.If it was the past, she could only hide in a corner and finish her meal in obscurity.
However, today is different from the past.
Qiao Jiuxiu's mouth was very flattering, and the guests at the chairman were very happy, and the wife also showed a rare smile on her face.Qiao Yuanxiu sighed softly, she knew his wife too well, although she was very happy now and very satisfied with Qiao Jiuxiu, maybe there was some dissatisfaction accumulated in her mind.Qiao Jiuxiu's mother, Fourth Aunt, had a deep distrust with her wife, because Fourth Aunt was ignorant when she was young, and thought that the master could compete with his wife just by pampering her for a while.As a result, the master quickly fell in love with a woman who was more beautiful and younger than her, and she was thrown into limbo, and then the wife asked her to settle the final score.
Hate the house and black, and the wife may not be satisfied with Qiao Jiuxiu.What's more, now that Jiumei is more beautiful and smarter, it will inevitably make the wife feel a sense of crisis, and it will inevitably make her do something.And the other sisters in the mansion must not be used to Jiumei being favored. Although Jiumei has a heart to guard against others, fights in the mansion are always unpredictable, and she can't avoid it.
Qiao Yuanxiu sighed lightly, that's all.It's useless for her to worry about this matter, but she believes that Qiao Jiuxiu will definitely handle these things well.She has never let herself down.
Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Yuanxiu were eating with their wives in the chairman's seat, but the ladies in the second seat had their own concerns. Although they still talked and laughed at Yanyan on the surface, everyone had their own calculations in their hearts.
"Sixth sister, don't drink any more. Although this wine is clear and not intoxicating, it tastes mellow. If you drink too much, you will still get drunk. Today is Chinese New Year, and my wife will ask us for auspicious words at night. If you get drunk, it will be rude. "Qiao Qixiu said to Qiao Liuxiu on the side.Qiao Qixiu's position in the Qiao Mansion was a bit awkward, in terms of age, she was not much different from Qiao Liuxiu and Qiao Jiuxiu, and they were both daughters of concubines.But in terms of status, Qiao Qixiu has never had a sense of presence in the Qiao Mansion. Few people have noticed her existence, and she will only appear on some particularly important occasions. At other times, she likes to hide herself .
She likes to live a simple life, so she avoids all troubles.Such a person may not be able to get ahead in the Qiao Mansion for a lifetime, but he can always live in peace. It can only be said that everyone has his own ambition.
"Do you even care about me now?" Qiao Liuxiu glared at Qiao Qixiu, the seat next to the eldest sister was obviously reserved for herself.But now Qiao Jiuxiu is sitting on it, carefully chatting with the elder sister and the guests.Usually at this time, she would talk to them about calligraphy and scriptures, and they listened with great interest.But now, she can only sit in the second seat, and she can't even drink to her heart's content.
"Look at what kind of dishes these are, they don't even have meat. It's a braised elbow in soy sauce, it's actually made of tofu. Did Qiao's mansion give her less money?" Qiao Liuxiu picked her chopsticks, although The taste of this tofu is good, and the craftsmanship is complicated. It can be seen that the cost will not be cheaper than using real meat, and more importantly, it is innovative.These ladies usually eat delicacies from mountains and seas, and they have eaten braised pork knuckles countless times, and they have long been bored.That's why Qiao Jiuxiu ingeniously asked the chef to replace the original elbow with tofu.
"I think it's pretty good. It's delicious and not greasy." Qiao Wuxiu always said something, she has that temperament, and she is not afraid of offending people. "Sixth sister, don't be upset. You have to admit that Jiumei is better than you. Can you make such delicious dishes? Can you deal with the troubles that Jiumei encountered these days? That vegetable vendor sits on the floor When the price was raised, if you were there, would you cry on the spot?"
"You!" Qiao Wuxiu's words were always harsh and harsh.Qiao Liuxiu's face flushed with anger.She gave Qiao Wuxiu a hard look, but she didn't dare to lose her temper on this occasion, so she could only endure it and lost her smiling face.
"I want to wait for the eldest sister to enter the palace. I'm afraid Jiumei will come to take charge of the house." Qiao Shanxiu said from the side, but her tone was not bad. She had a good relationship with Qiao Jiuxiu, and Qiao Jiuxiu probably wouldn't wear small shoes for herself.But Qiao Liuxiu might be in trouble, because they have never gotten along very well.Of course, it was all Qiao Liuxiu's fault. Every time she wanted to punish Qiao Jiuxiu to death, Qiao Jiuxiu was naturally dissatisfied with her.
Compared with the turmoil at the lady's table, the tenants and long-term workers are much more harmonious.Song Yu made a toast to many people. It can be seen that they are very happy today. Many people are praising Qiao Jiuxiu, saying that although Miss Jiu is still a baby at a young age, she is very smart, has ideas and is decisive in her work. , and especially thoughtful.The key is to be able to get along well with people like them, and the leadership ability is pretty good.It's no wonder that the wife asked her to come out to preside over the year-end affairs this time, because she is preparing to train a successor.
Song Yu took out two taels of silver from her pocket, "This is the wage increase that the lady promised me before. She said at the time that she hoped that we would have a democratic election, and then let one person get it. But just now the lady came over and said that she was just to mobilize Everyone's enthusiasm, besides, being happy alone is not as good as having fun together, she asked me to give points for when I will order some wine for everyone."
"Miss Nine is very kind. She will do what she says." Hearing that there was wine to drink, the long-term workers and tenants were very happy.Song Yu changed the subject in a low voice, "But do you know how the money came from? Miss Jiu pawned her own jewelry to have spare money to treat us to a drink. You say, if we really drink this wine , can it be fragrant?"
"No. No." Everyone shook their heads, Miss Jiu was already doing well, how could they have the nerve to ask Miss Jiu to sell all her jewelry for them.So he quickly refused. "Let's send the money back to Miss Jiu now. We can't ask for the money no matter what."
Song Yu nodded, but spoke in a low voice, discussing his thoughts with them.After everyone listened, they all nodded happily.
…………
After sending off the last batch of guests, it was already dark.According to the custom, the wife called all the children to the main hall, and called the master together, let the younger generation say some auspicious words to the elders, and then gave the younger generation some small money, which is regarded as a new year.
Because Qiao Shaotang was the eldest son, he was the first to walk up to the wife and the master, knelt down, and said a few auspicious words.The wife nodded slightly to him, and handed a small embroidered bag to Qiao Shaotang, "It's the beginning of the new year, and Shaotang is going to have a family, and he will be an adult in the future, and he has to take good care of his wife and children. Let me hug her sooner." Grandson."
Qiao Shaotang nodded slightly, just thinking about his marriage with Ye Duanyi, he still felt a little uncomfortable. He didn't mean that Ye Duanyi was bad, but she was not the type he liked.But this marriage is no longer up to him to decide.The Qiao family can't afford to provoke the Ye family, and it's not worthwhile to provoke the Ye family for such a thing.
Qiao Yuanxiu was the second one, because she was about to enter the palace, the wife took her hand, a little reluctant, "My child, you must be careful when you get to the palace, you must serve the emperor well, and have sex with other people in the palace." Good relationship, you have always been the smartest, I don't worry about you, just take care of yourself." Qiao Yuanxiu nodded, but her heart sank, once she entered the palace, she didn't know whether she should do it for the so-called glory If you are rich, go into the inner courtyard of the palace.
That's a place where people can eat people without spitting out their bones.
It was Qiao Liuxiu's turn, and she gave her wife a sad look. She thought that once the elder sister left, the wife would let her help manage Qiao's house, but she didn't expect Qiao Jiuxiu to appear suddenly, which caught her by surprise. Although she was not satisfied with Qiao Jiuxiu, But I also know that she is better than herself in many ways.Although he was not satisfied, he could only endure the tone.
"Liu girl has something on her mind?" The wife asked with a smile, "Liu girl hasn't come to practice Zen and enlightenment with me for a long time, maybe she's unfamiliar with me." "Actually, I still like you the most."
"Well. Then I'll come over tomorrow to practice Zen and enlightenment with my wife." Qiao Liuxiu was overjoyed, and she said that she had been with her wife for so many years, and there was no merit but hard work. There was no reason for Qiao Jiuxiu to steal all the limelight in one go.The wife just happened to need to manage the year-end affairs personally, and then she thought she was good, so she let her do it.As for the management of Qiao's house in the future, I still have to let myself do it.
Qiao Jiuxiu sighed lightly, the wife is a wife after all, and she could see Qiao Liuxiu's dissatisfaction.Then, with just one sentence, Qiao Liuxiu was happy again, and she became determined to continue to please his wife. I have to say that Jiang is still old and hot, but his wife's hand is really powerful.
"What is Jiu girl thinking?" The wife called Qiao Jiuxiu over, her face was still full of smiles, it seemed that the wife was really in a good mood recently.The New Year's affairs were handled very well, the Qiao Mansion was going to move again, the master was going to be promoted, and the young lady was going to enter the palace to become a noble concubine. These good things happened one after another, even if the wife wanted to be unhappy, it would be difficult. "Jiu girl handled the New Year's affairs well this time. I didn't expect you to be able to manage things in such an orderly manner at such a young age."
It's rare for Qiao Jiuxiu to hear his wife's praise, so he didn't dare to get too excited, so he could only lower his eyes slightly, "No, it's because my wife trained me well, I just learned a little bit by ear, and I will follow my wife's side from now on. , there is still a lot to learn.”
These words were neither humble nor overbearing, and won the satisfaction of my wife.The wife nodded, and handed the embroidered bag to Qiao Jiuxiu, which contained some silver taels.Although it was just meaning, Qiao Jiuxiu clearly felt that the weight this time seemed to be a lot more than before.
Finally, I have some spare cash on hand.After saving for a while, you can go to the pawnshop to redeem the jewelry.Most of those jewelry were given by elder brother and elder sister, if she was not really helpless, she would not be willing to pawn them just like that.
Money is something that cannot be too much, but if it is lacking, it will be very difficult to do things.
