The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 73

On the second day, just as Qiao Jiuxiu got up, she heard Jinxiu come over and say that Song Yu came to see her, saying that she had something to do, and they made an appointment to meet in the backyard.Qiao Jiuxiu was thinking about something important, otherwise he wouldn't have come here so early.Although the year-end affairs were generally over, there was still some finishing work still going on, so there was nothing wrong with her going to see Song Yu at this time.

So she asked Jinxiu to prepare a robe for herself to put on, worrying that Song Yu would be waiting impatiently, so she trotted all the way to the backyard.Only Song Yu was alone, holding a small box in his hand.Qiao Jiuxiu stopped and looked at Song Yu with some puzzlement. What is he going to do?

"What is this?" Qiao Jiuxiu frowned and asked, Song Yu handed the box to Qiao Jiuxiu, asking her to open it.Qiao Jiuxiu didn't understand, but she opened the box anyway, and there was a hairpin quietly parked in the box, which was very unique, although it wasn't worth much, but the workmanship was very fine.It's just why Song Yu gave herself a hairpin.She felt more and more confused, and could only look at Song Yu, hoping that he could give herself an explanation.

"That's right." Song Yu cleared her throat, "Didn't you ask me to turn the two taels of silver into wine money and buy good wine for all the tenants and long-term workers to drink? But how could this two taels of silver be possible? Let us all have fun. What's more, once I told them that you pawned the silver for jewelry, no one would drink it. Everyone thought about it, so they asked me to buy this hairpin and send it to you. It happens to be two cents of silver, and only when we spend money like this will all of us be happy."

"It's not so good." Qiao Jiuxiu was a little embarrassed. In fact, these long-term workers were also very hard-pressed. They had to plan carefully for a long time just to drink a little wine on weekdays. How could she have the nerve to accept this poem.Can only hastily decline.Song Yu had already inserted the hairpin on her head, "Miss Nine, you can just accept it. You can't embarrass us guys. Besides, I have to return even a piece of jewelry, I How to meet people in the future."

Qiao Jiuxiu couldn't say no to him, so she just nodded and put away the jewelry.Then I said many thanks, and said that if there is any need for help in the future, she will definitely help.Song Yu nodded slightly to Qiao Jiuxiu, then retreated.

Qiao Jiuxiu took off the hairpin and looked it over carefully. Although the hairpin is simple in style and looks ordinary, its significance is extraordinary.She will definitely treasure it well.

"Miss Six, what were you looking at just now?" The sudden sound startled Qiao Liuxiu who was hiding in the dark.When she came out for a stroll, she saw that Qiao Jiuxiu and Song Yu seemed to be talking, and then she found a place to hide. She could hear what Song Yu and Qiao Jiuxiu said clearly, and hated that Qiao Jiuxiu had such a deep relationship with these long-term workers.Why didn't she see that she was such a capable person before?
"Qinglian, why are you here?" Seeing that it was Qinglian, Qiao Liuxiu let out a sigh of relief. Qinglian was the eldest sister's second-class maid, comparable to Hongxiu's level.Qiao Liuxiu was very close to Eldest Sister before, so she knew the maids in Eldest Sister's house better.It's just that this Qinglian is a little low-key, not as sharp as Pearl, nor as smart as Hongxiu, but she doesn't leave any special impression.

"I was just looking around, did Miss Six see something that she shouldn't have seen?" Qinglian smiled slightly, Qiao Liuxiu suddenly felt a bit of a headache, would Qinglian help herself, or Qiao Jiuxiu?
This is indeed a very serious and important question.If Qinglian was her person, then she would not report on her eavesdropping, and would even help stab the knife in the back.But if she wanted to help Qiao Jiuxiu, it would be troublesome.Qiao Jiuxiu had warned herself several times before that if she knew that she was still restless, she didn't know what she would do.

Qiao Liuxiu was not in a hurry to speak, she was only guessing whether Qinglian was an enemy or a friend, and she would not speak until she was sure of this.Qinglian also guessed what Qiao Liuxiu was thinking, but she didn't say it directly, she just took Qiao Liuxiu to a secluded place.

"It wasn't a place to talk just now." Qinglian said, "There are many people in the back garden, and only Miss Nine would go there to meet people and talk about things, even if someone bumps into it, it's not surprising."

Qiao Liuxiu nodded slightly, thinking that Qinglian didn't expose herself to her face just now, could she be dissatisfied with Qiao Jiuxiu? "Qinglian, I think this place is nice and quiet. What do you want to tell me?"

"Yes. Although I know that Miss Six is ​​not afraid of Miss Nine, if I tell Miss Nine about your eavesdropping, it will affect the harmony of your own sisters, I'm afraid it will be bad."

"Then what benefits do you want so that you don't talk nonsense." Qiao Liuxiu understood what Qinglian meant, that she wanted a hush money.Normally, she would definitely scold Qinglian directly and tell her to tell Qiao Jiuxiu directly.But now my wife likes Qiao Jiuxiu, she
It's not good to fight her too much.

"I think Miss Six has misunderstood." Qinglian immediately said, "Actually, to tell you the truth, I don't like Miss Nine either. The person is Miss Nine."

Although Qiao Liuxiu's face was still serious, she was very proud in her heart.I have to say that Qinglian is quite discerning, she never thought that she would not wait to see Qiao Jiuxiu, it is really fate.Suddenly, she felt that something was wrong, who was in charge of the Qiao family, and what was she worrying about as a maid.

"Tell me the truth. I'm not that easy to deceive." Qiao Liuxiu said coldly.Qinglian exhaled, and spoke reluctantly. "After the eldest lady enters the palace, our maids will be reassigned to different rooms, and it is said that they will have to pass the assessment. Maybe they can't even be counted as second-class maids. Hongxiu has found Miss Jiu as a backer. Miss doesn't need so many maids, I have no choice but to find a good backer for myself."

"So, you found me?" Qiao Liuxiu asked, and Qinglian nodded.What she said just now is somewhat convincing.Because of the elder sister, the people in the house respected the servant girls under the elder sister very much, and their status in Qiao's mansion was equivalent to that of half a young lady.But once the elder sister enters the palace, these maids will be the same as ordinary maids without backers, or even worse than ordinary maids, so they are eager to find backers for themselves.

Therefore, Qinglian found herself.

After thinking about it carefully, she still has a good impression of Qinglian. Qinglian can be a person, and she is also very good at dealing with affairs.Much stronger than the water bamboo around him.And now that she has to deal with Qiao Jiuxiu with all her strength, it will be much more convenient to have one more person by her side.Although she had already decided to accept Qinglian, she still coughed lightly twice. "Let me go back and think about this matter. Of course, you have to show your sincerity."

Qinglian nodded and smiled, "If Miss Six wants to be sincere, Qinglian can give it to you right now." He said it very easily, but he looked as if he had grasped something.

"Talk about it." Qiao Liuxiu could no longer control the excitement in her heart, it would not take a day or two for her to deal with Qiao Jiuxiu.And this matter must be done as early as possible, Ye Duanyi will marry into Qiao's residence after a while, Ye Duanyi likes Qiao Jiuxiu very much, and it will be too late to make a move at that time.

"Miss should establish a good relationship with Miss Jiu first, and turn hostility into friendship." Qinglian chuckled, and said in a low voice on purpose. Seeing Qiao Liuxiu's puzzled face, she smiled, and then continued, "Miss Six is ​​so smart. You don’t even know the reason for that.”

"Huh?" Qiao Liuxiu frowned, letting Qinglian have something to say.

"People will always be vigilant against enemies, but they will be negligent about friends. If we become friends with Miss Jiu, wouldn't it be much more convenient to stab her in the back?" Qinglian saw Qiao Liuxiu nod, and then she went on Shi continued, "If you want to do anything against Miss Jiu in the future, don't do it yourself. There are so many young ladies in the house, so you don't have to do it yourself."

Qiao Liuxiu nodded, Qinglian really knows how to be a human being, and she can be seen in just a few words.So a satisfied smile appeared on his face, "After eldest sister enters the palace, I will ask my wife to give you to me."

Qinglian nodded and thanked Qiao Liuxiu.Although she knew that she was sorry for Qiao Jiuxiu, but she couldn't help it.The eldest lady is about to enter the palace, and these servant girls will have no backing from now on.She chose to betray Miss Jiu for her own sake.There is no way, people are not for themselves, and heaven and earth will perish.

After Qinglian left, Qiao Liuxiu showed a satisfied smile on her face, as if she had already figured out how to make friends with Qiao Jiuxiu and deal with her at the same time.She is looking forward to that day.

Qinglian didn't go far, but stopped behind a rockery, Hongxiu came out from inside, and asked in a low voice, "Miss Six agreed to take you in?"

Qinglian nodded, "Miss Six has agreed to take me in. Just to win her trust, I have to do a few things to offend Miss Jiu first. Only then can I tell you about Miss Six's situation for a long time."

Hongxiu nodded, "I know. It's just that this plan has worked hard on you, and you still have to take such a big risk. If Miss Six finds out, your legs will definitely be broken. If possible, I would like to sneak into Miss Six's side. "

"It's okay, you're not suitable." Qinglian smiled, "Besides, we all promised that Miss Nine will take good care of Miss Nine. Such a little grievance is nothing." But for some reason, there was a trace of tinge in her smile. lonely.

Hongxiu nodded and gave Qinglian a big hug.Although they don't know what troubles they will encounter in the future, they are happy now.
