The Road of the Concubine's First Wife

Chapter 298

Since Qiao Shaotang had already decided to travel far, he set off right after lunch. Although everyone was tired, they still had to see him off.Ye Duanyi looked at Qiao Shaotang with tears in her eyes, looking very pitiful. She knew that the man had ambitions everywhere, and she should not trap him in the Qiao Manor's world, but let him go to a wider world.Qiao Shaotang understood Ye Duanyi's feelings and walked to her side.

"Duanyi, I have something to say to you alone." Ye Duanyi nodded slightly, with a slight blush on her face, and then nodded slightly, "Shaotang, what do you want to say." Since Ye Duanyi became Qiao Shaotang's wife, she has learned to be gentle and virtuous, and she no longer has the debauchery of her youth. All this is due to her wife's training.Only now the wife has gone.

When his wife was alive, Ye Duanyi avoided her and didn't dare to have too much contact with her.Later, even if the wife accepted her full body, she only went to report to the wife when she had to, and she broke out in a cold sweat every time she came down. For Ye Duanyi, the wife was not a kind wife , more like a dignified boss.So there is always a feeling of lack of affection between my wife and me.Now that my wife is gone, if I want to get close to her again, I'm afraid it will be impossible.

Qiao Jiuxiu sighed slightly, looked at Qiao Shaotang and Ye Duanyi, and knew that they were reluctant to part with each other.I also know that they have something to whisper.Because there were still a lot of people seeing them off, Aunt Xue was not among them. She just hid in a corner and looked at her children and daughter-in-law.Qiao Shaotang can accept her identity, but it doesn't mean that Ye Duanyi can also accept herself. She has no extravagant demands on this, she just hopes to watch them quietly.

Qiao Jiuxiu naturally found Aunt Xue, but she didn't make a sound, so let her continue hiding in the dark. This is her way of protecting Qiao Shaotang, and she has no way to stop it.Just recite silently in my heart, this is probably the best concern a mother has for her child.Qiao Shaotang and Ye Duanyi said some thoughtful words.For example, when the weather turns cold, you need to pay attention, don't catch a cold, and then take good care of the child, he will come back as soon as possible.Ye Duanyi also gave all kinds of instructions. It is completely different to go out alone, and it is completely different from being at home. She is a little worried that Qiao Shaotang will not be able to adapt.

Finally, after finishing all the lingering words, Qiao Shaotang stepped back, seeing Ye Duanyi's red and swollen eyes, he could only shake his head, "Duanyi, don't do this, if you really cry, how can I leave? "

He wanted to comfort Ye Duanyi, but he didn't expect to force her tears out completely.Ye Duanyi shook her head and said, "Husband, remember, you must come back early. If the road is convenient, remember to send a letter back. And don't just talk about good things. I want to know your real situation."

Qiao Shaotang nodded and said goodbye to his lovely wife.Then he walked in front of Qiao Jiuxiu and bowed slightly to Qiao Jiuxiu, but Qiao Jiuxiu was taken aback, "Brother, what are you doing?" Qiao Jiuxiu looked at Qiao Shaotang in puzzlement, unable to understand his plan at this time .Qiao Shaotang also shook his head slightly, "Jiumei, don't delay, you have to accept this obeisance. You are the daughter married by Qiao's mansion, and the affairs of Qiao's mansion have nothing to do with you, but you have come this way. Big brother doesn't know what to say, so I can only express my gratitude, and I hope Jiumei won't delay."

Qiao Jiuxiu bit her lip slightly, she didn't know how to postpone it, so she could only bear it, but the expression on her face was very embarrassing, and she smiled after a long time, "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of Qiao's mansion, You can rest assured to start a business outside. Sister-in-law and nephew, leave it to me, you can rest assured." She hammered Qiao Shaotang's chest, in order to ease the atmosphere of farewell now, "Mo Dao has no confidant in the future, no one in the world People don't know you."

It is natural to use these words to send Qiao Shaotang away.Qiao Shaotang also nodded slightly, and then pulled Qiao Jiuxiu aside.Qiao Jiuxiu knew that Ye Duanyi didn't want Ye Duanyi to hear this instruction.So I can only talk to Qiao Jiuxiu alone.Qiao Jiuxiu had already guessed what was going on, so she simply nodded, "Don't worry, Big Brother, I will take care of Aunt Xue. Don't worry, Madam has been treating her kindly all these years, and she hasn't suffered a bit."

Qiao Shaotang nodded, Qiao Jiuxiu was indeed very considerate and knew what was in his mind at this time.He also said thank you to Qiao Jiuxiu.Then step on the maroon red horse and bid farewell to everyone behind you.

Ye Duanyi's tears came down after she could no longer see Qiao Shaotang, crying like a tearful person. Before he had gone far, she had already started to miss Qiao Shaotang.If she didn't feel that it would be somewhat inconvenient for him to walk outside with her own woman, she would have traveled with him.I just don't know when he will come back this way, and there isn't even a single person around to greet him.

"Sister Duanyi, don't be sad. If elder brother knows, he should feel distressed again." Qiao Jiuxiu comforted her quickly.Ye Duanyi shook her head slightly, and took a few steps forward, as if intending to catch up, but there was no trace of Qiao Shaotang.With a very low voice, she asked Qiao Jiuxiu who was behind her, "Jiumei, Shaotang will definitely come back, right?"

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and walked to Ye Duanyi's side, with a calm expression on her face, "Sister Duanyi, don't worry, brother will definitely come back. You don't have to worry about it."

Ye Duanyi also nodded slightly, with a faint expression on her face.At last it was not as sad as before.She glanced at Qiao Jiuxiu lightly, then at the Qiao Mansion compound behind her, "Jiumei, let's go home."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, and then helped Ye Duanyi into Qiao's mansion.The formerly prosperous Qiao Mansion has now fallen into disrepair.Although the eldest brother is already thinking of a way, it still needs a process. Before the eldest brother comes back, she has to take care of Qiao's residence.There are not many guards and maidservants left in Qiao's residence.However, those left behind should be loyal to the Qiao Mansion.Qiao Jiuxiu asked Jinxiu and Hongxiu to invite everyone to the main hall, while she was thinking about how to lecture later.

Although she is already the head of Qiao's mansion, she can't stay in Qiao's mansion for too long. Sooner or later, she has to go back to Wang's mansion. At that time, the affairs of Qiao's mansion can only be handed over to Ye Duanyi.She was afraid that these people would deliberately make things difficult for Ye Duanyi, so she had to make an agreement with them first, so that there would be no chaos.Ye Duanyi also knew Qiao Jiuxiu's plan, so she didn't blame Qiao Jiuxiu for overstepping.

Qiao Jiuxiu waited for the crowd to come, only then did she realize that Aunt Xue who was hiding behind the rockery winked at her, and she walked over. "Aunt Xue, what's the matter?"

Aunt Xue held Qiao Jiuxiu's hand very excitedly, "Princess, thank you so much for being old. Without you, Shaotang and I would never have known each other. I really don't know how to thank you."

Qiao Jiuxiu waved her hand, in fact, this was what the elder brother meant, and she was just pushing the boat along with the flow, and she definitely couldn't bear Aunt Xue's affection.But Aunt Xue stuffed a package into her hand, "This is the flowers, birds, insects and fish I embroidered in my spare time. The princess can send someone to pawn it, and I should be able to exchange some money to help Qiao's house through the difficulties. I owe you a lot of money." I lost a lot of things in the Qiao Mansion, so let me make it up to you."

Qiao Jiuxiu opened the package suspiciously, but was surprised.She knew that her self-embroidery skills were not bad, but she never thought that in front of Aunt Xue, she would be like a big fool.Aunt Xue's embroidery is even more wonderful. Although the fabric and silk thread are very simple, the pattern is very beautiful.She pondered for a while, if she let herself do it, she might not be able to do it so perfectly.

"I learned some when I was young, so it's naturally not as subtle as the concubine's." Aunt Xue was a little surprised when she saw Qiao Jiuxiu's appearance, so she quickly explained.These are just some ordinary embroideries, I hope they can be sold for a certain price to help Qiao's mansion tide over the difficulties.Qiao Jiuxiu nodded slightly, this was Aunt Xue's wish, she naturally couldn't refuse, she only thought about letting Jinxiu sell these embroidery when she had time in the future.

"Aunt Xue, you are being modest. These embroidery are so delicate, if it were me, I would not be able to embroider so delicately." Qiao Jiuxiu was slightly moved, and only then noticed that some of them used the technique of double-sided embroidery, you must know This skill is very rare, even for an embroiderer who has more than ten years of skill, it is difficult to embroider like this.Aunt Xue chuckled, and said that she had nothing to do these years, so she could only hide in the house and embroider.

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded to Aunt Xue, then bid farewell to Aunt Xue, and walked back to Ye Duanyi. Ye Duanyi gave Qiao Jiuxiu a strange look, "Jiumei, who is that nanny? Why have I never seen it before?"

"He is my wife's old friend. He has nowhere to go, so he stayed in Qiao's residence." Qiao Jiuxiu thought for a while, this matter still needs to be kept from Ye Duanyi. Tell Ye Duanyi the cause and effect of it.Ye Duanyi also nodded slightly, "Well, I know, but what is it in your hand?"

Qiao Jiuxiu opened the package, and Ye Duanyi was surprised by the embroidery on it, because it was so beautiful, she couldn't help feeling slightly, "Jiumei, I didn't expect this nanny's hands to be so powerful. Afraid above you and me."

Qiao Jiuxiu nodded, Ye Duanyi's words were correct.Today she knows what is beyond the sky.Ye Duanyi was also heard muttering that when she made clothes for the young master, she would make a special trip to ask Aunt Xue for advice.Qiao Jiuxiu naturally didn't say anything, just thinking that maybe this is a good opportunity for Aunt Xue and Ye Duanyi to have further contact.It will be much easier to recognize each other in the future.

While the two were chatting, Jinxiu and Hongxiu had already brought the servants over.Knowing that Qiao Jiuxiu was about to lecture, the expressions of the servants had their own characteristics, and each had slightly different thoughts in their hearts.
