The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 96 My Wife Keeps Me Busy at the Banquet

As soon as Qiao Shanxiu's words came out, everyone stared at her blankly.The wife looked at Qiao Shanxiu strangely. She always felt that the third girl kept her own place and did not compete for favor or show weakness. She just wanted to live in Qiao's mansion peacefully.But she didn't expect that she would suddenly speak, saying that she was in charge of handling the dinner party.Could it be that she had misread Qiao Shanxiu before?

She is not a woman who seeks stability, and she also wants to stand out in Qiao's family and get a share of the pie.

The wife smiled lightly. She didn't reject Qiao Shanxiu's idea, but just wanted to know what kind of ability this little girl had. If she didn't have enough ability, then she shouldn't imitate other people's big talk.Qiao Liuxiu frowned slightly. She wanted to invite her wife to join her, but she didn't expect Qiao Shanxiu to take the lead.She hadn't seen before that Qiao Shanxiu had such ambitions.It's really knowing people, knowing their faces, but not their hearts.Qiao Jiuxiu, however, sighed softly, it was obviously a hot potato, why did the third sister want to get involved?

Dressing up as a dinner party for the eldest sister is a good thing, but as long as one detail is not done well, it may become a bad thing.If it becomes a bad thing, then the wife will definitely punish him heavily.Rather than take this risk, it would be better to be a person who attended the dinner party peacefully.Moreover, Qiao Jiuxiu knew Qiao Shanxiu well, she did not have the ability to organize dinner parties alone.

"Madam, you have already handed over the year-end work to Jiumei, and also handed over housewarming to Liumei. I am their older sister. If I don't do something, how can I set an example? I hope my wife can give I will definitely do well this time, and I will never let you down." Seeing that his wife seemed to be hesitant, Qiao Shanxiu hurriedly explained her reasons.As soon as these words came out, the wife frowned as expected. Logically speaking, he should give Qiao Shanxiu a chance, otherwise he deliberately favored Qiao Jiuxiu and Qiao Liuxiu, and there would be some troubles when managing the Qiao family in the future.

"Okay then, third girl. Tell me, what are you going to do about this matter." Although the wife wanted to give Qiao Shanxiu a chance, if she didn't agree, she had no choice but to refuse to do this matter. .Know that a dinner party is no small matter.If there is any mistake, the Qiao family will be disgraced.

He can't afford the risk.

"Returning to my wife, it's just a meal, so what's the problem? At that time, all the tenants and long-term workers will be called, and then they will be seated according to their seats. Those long-term tenants have never eaten anything delicious. As long as we take some Big fish and big meat will satisfy them. As for the ladies and wives who can sit at the main table, the food at the main table is naturally much better than the general ones." Qiao Shanxiu said it according to her own thoughts, thinking about it while talking, and she was sure there was no No question, he nodded slightly to his wife.

The wife shook her head, Qiao Shanxiu's answer was not satisfactory.So he glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu in a blink of an eye, "Jiu girl, tell me your thoughts. What do you think of your third sister's thoughts?"

"I think it's pretty good." Although Qiao Shanxiu could hear something wrong in her thinking, Qiao Jiuxiu didn't intend to point it out. She knew that if she opened her mouth, the matter would only fall on her own head.She still wants to live in peace for a while, but she can't accept this hot potato.But seeing his wife's face change, knowing that she was not satisfied with his perfunctory, she could only sigh, "However, I have some other ideas, and I don't know if it's appropriate or not."

Hearing what Qiao Jiuxiu said, the expression on the wife's face improved slightly. "Jiu girl, but it's okay to say, this is the time to brainstorm, you can speak out what you think. Only in this way can we manage the affairs of the new year well."

"Okay." Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, "Ma'am, I think the main table should have the same dishes as the other tables. The purpose of our dinner this time is to celebrate the eldest sister becoming a noble concubine, so that the whole family can enjoy it together. If there is a hierarchical division in eating, it will make the long-term tenants feel uncomfortable, although they will not say it, but they will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable. This is not the original intention of our dinner."

Hearing Qiao Jiuxiu's analysis, Qiao Shanxiu yelled inwardly. She had neglected this question just now, but she didn't want to lose this opportunity, so she continued to fight with her wife, "Jiumei is right, when I arrange the arrangement, I will Pay attention to these."

"I want to leave this matter to Jiu Yatou, so that I can rest assured." The wife simply expressed her thoughts, and she was really worried about leaving the dinner party to Qiao Shanxiu.Although Qiao Shanxiu is very careful, she has no ideas and poor adaptability, so she is really worried.Seeing Qiao Shanxiu seemed a little dissatisfied. "If the third girl is not happy, then answer me a question. If it satisfies me, I will leave this matter to you."

"Madam, please tell me." Seeing that there was still a chance, Qiao Shanxiu said hastily.The wife shook her head slightly, "How many tables do you think we should have? How many people are suitable for each table? This is extravagant and wasteful, and it makes people feel that the Qiao family is stingy."

Qiao Shanxiu stared blankly at his wife. This question was very important, but she didn't know anything about it. She didn't know how many tenants and long-term workers there were in the house, and she didn't know how many dishes to prepare.But on the surface, he still looked indifferent, "Madam, I need to do a survey first to know how many people there are, and then arrange the banquet."

The wife shook her head. She was dissatisfied with Qiao Shanxiu's answer. In only three days, she didn't even know the most basic questions.Turning to look at Qiao Jiuxiu, "Jiu girl, tell me."

"Report to Madam." Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to cry, but she knew the answer.Because she is responsible for the year-end affairs.So she knows exactly how many long-term workers and tenants there are in the village, and even many of them can name them. "There are a total of 320 long-term workers and tenants in the whole village. According to the specification of 20 people per table, a total of [-] tables are needed, and then [-] tables are needed for the main table. If it is for flexibility, an extra table can be added appropriately."

The wife nodded slightly, and was very satisfied with Qiao Jiuxiu's answer. She glanced at Qiao Shanxiu helplessly, "Three girl, it's not that I don't leave this matter to you, but Jiu girl is more suitable. Or you can read it first this time." How did Jiu Yato manage, I will let you come next time."

Qiao Shanxiu didn't dare to disobey his wife's wishes, so she could only agree.But I also know that I am afraid that I will not have such a chance next time.He gave Qiao Jiuxiu a bitter look, why does she always have trouble with herself.

Qiao Jiuxiu wanted to decline, but seeing the seriousness in his wife's eyes, she could only sigh, that's all, let's take care of this matter.It's just that I have to apologize to Third Sister later, and let her not take it to heart.

Just a sorry, I'm afraid it will have little effect.

Although this meal was delicious and delicious, Qiao Jiuxiu felt uncomfortable eating it.All the sisters looked at each other strangely, as if they were very upset with themselves.Especially Qiao Liuxiu and Qiao Shanxiu's eyes almost wanted to kill themselves.Only Qiao Qixiu's eyes were normal, because from the beginning to the end, she ate quietly without saying a word or looking up at anyone.It seemed that the discussion just now had nothing to do with her.

She is like a transparent person in Qiao's mansion, but that's good, because no one will hurt a transparent person.

After dinner, the wife asked all the ladies to go back.Qiao Jiuxiu stopped Qiao Shanxiu, "Third sister, I'm sorry for what happened today, but my wife asked me, so I can't tell the truth."

"It's okay." Qiao Shanxiu snorted softly, suppressing the dissatisfaction in her heart, "It's because I am not as good as others, and I am not as good as Jiumei, so I will naturally lose that opportunity. But how does Jiumei know everything? See After Eldest Sister leaves, the position of the first concubine must be yours."

"Third sister, I've never thought about it this way." Qiao Jiuxiu heard Qiao Shanxiu's dissatisfaction.She hurriedly said, "I never thought about being the number one concubine. I just want to live a peaceful life in Qiao's mansion. No one can bully me, and I won't bully anyone. That's fine." Qiao Jiuxiu spoke very sincerely.

Qiao Shanxiu felt a slander in her heart.I feel that Qiao Jiuxiu is obviously acting like a good boy because of the cheapness.If she really didn't want that opportunity, she could talk nonsense to her wife, not to mention being so serious, she would impress her and leave the matter to her.And now she is pretending to be a good person in front of her, which is too much.

So without looking back, he walked away in a few steps.Qiao Jiuxiu sighed, well, she has another enemy in Qiao's mansion.

Qiao Liuxiu approached with a smile on her face. She congratulated Qiao Jiuxiu for getting the opportunity to organize the dinner, and then told Qiao Jiuxiu that no matter what problems she encountered, she could ask her for help.Qiao Jiuxiu didn't refuse either, but felt as if she had something in her words.

"Qinglian, I'm not happy." After walking away, Qiao Liuxiu suddenly said to Qinglian behind her, "If my wife entrusts me to do this matter, I can do it well, but my wife never asked for my advice from the beginning to the end. Opinion. Then Qiao Jiuxiu is just better at embroidery, why does my wife value it so much?"

"Miss, do you really want that opportunity?" Qinglian stopped, looked at Qiao Liuxiu and nodded blankly, then she smiled meaningfully. "If Miss wants it, I'll grab it for you."

"You have a solution?" Qiao Liuxiu looked at Qinglian in disbelief, the wife had already decided on this matter, how could she have a way to snatch it away?
"I have a solution." Qinglian smiled slightly. "Besides, this matter doesn't require the young lady to expend any energy. You just need to wait for the work at leisure. Someone will be a villain."

"Huh?" Qiao Liuxiu was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect Qinglian to have such a good idea.
