Chapter 3 Confession 1
Stepping into the gate of Qiao's house and walking to the shadow wall, Ruosu saw an old lady Qiao who was in good spirits, wearing a Nian Qi Yue bead hairpin hairpin, and wearing a beige Junzi Lan large printed gauze pleat, surrounded by all the women, standing at the hanging flower gate.

She couldn't help but have a sour nose, she had lived in this house for sixteen years in her previous life, and she really treated herself well, except for her biological mother Liu, there was only the old lady left.
Qiao Yun helped her over, and the young lady's body had not long healed, and she was very weak.
Mrs. Qiao looked at her granddaughter, who was somewhat similar to her deceased second daughter, and her tears fell down.
Ruosu also had red eyes, she walked in front of the old lady, Ying Ying knelt down and said: "Ruosu visits her grandmother, and wishes her grandmother Songhe a long life and happiness like the East China Sea." ā
Mrs. Qiao personally helped Ruosu up and looked up and down, the more she looked at it, the more she looked like her second daughter Qiao Moning, but the girl in front of her was more outstanding, and she was like a pearl at a young age, and she really didn't know what kind of graceful appearance she would be in the future.
The old lady was excited and delighted, and there was an extra layer of concern, and such a look may not be a good thing.
"It's good that Sister Su is here, it's good to be here."
Ruosu wore a light cyan twig gown today, a yellow and white threaded skirt, and a jade hairpin was simply inserted in her bun, which made her as beautiful as the moon.
Mrs. Qiao held her small hand with pity, looked at the dress on her granddaughter's body, and felt a burst of pity in her heart, which sister in Qiao's mansion is not dressed in gold and luxury, and the materials used to make clothes alone are worth more than 100 taels and one horses.
In comparison, Ruosu's clothes are indeed a little poor.
Bai Qishan is an honest official, and he is a representative of the Qing school, where does he have the spare money to buy it for his daughter.
Thinking of this, Old Lady Qiao sighed slightly, and pulled Ruosu to say a few thoughtful words.
Bai Qishan followed the housekeeper to the banquet in the front yard, and he had a gap with Uncle Qiao, so he also broke off contact with Second Master Qiao.
Ruosu saluted the female elders one by one, and was led by the old lady to the flower hall in the backyard.
When passing by with the daughters of the Qiao family, Ruosu smiled again, it was really okay.
She swept around, but she didn't see the wife of the big house, Chu, and the wives and concubines of the second room, it seemed that she really didn't take her seriously.
Qiao Ruojiao, the daughter of the big house behind her, didn't seem to like this cousin who suddenly appeared, and said in a small voice: "I really think of myself as Qiao's family!" ā
Her fourth sister poked her with her elbow: "Don't say a word, my cousin just arrived today, and grandmother naturally wants to treat her closely." ā
Qiao Ruoyun and Qiao Ruojiao are both from the Chu family, the wife of the big house, Qiao Ruoyun is almost fifteen years old, with a deep personality and a lot of scheming. Qiao Ruojiao, as her name suggests, is a spoiled lady, and she never speaks regardless of the occasion.
Hearing the fourth sister reprimand her like this, she was even more displeased: "I just don't like her, you look at her weak willow and windy appearance, that is, she is young now, and she doesn't know what she looks like in a few years, and even her name is annoying." ā
Girls at this age always don't like to look better than themselves.
Qiao Ruoyun sneered: "I think what you really hate is her name!" ā
At this time, Qiao Ruoxi in the second room spoke: "My sister-in-law is already dead, so you two can't accumulate some virtue." ā
Although Qiao Ruoxi is a concubine, she treats Ruosu lukewarmly on weekdays, and she does not bully her, but she is Qiao Ruowan's sister, and she has always been annoyed with her for a while because Ruosu married her brother-in-law as a concubine.
Now that I think about it, people are dead, and she doesn't hate her so much.
Among the sisters of the Qiao family, she is the only one who is simpler, she is one year older than the dead Ruosu, and now she is more than nineteen years old, but she has not said anything about her family, Ruosu was curious in her previous life, but only later did she know why she did not say her relatives for a long time.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
At the beginning of the lanterns, a dinner party had been set up in the flower hall, Ruo Su was very familiar with this place, and Mrs. Qiao was worried that she would suddenly come to the house, and it would be inappropriate, so she kept holding her and sitting beside her.
"Sister Su doesn't have to be restrained, just treat this as her own home, tell Mama Lin what you want to eat, and grandmother will let the small kitchen cook it for you."
Mama Lin was brought out by Ruosu from the Bai family, she was Qiao Moning's nurse, and after the young lady died in childbirth, she has been taking care of the little lady.
Ruosu understands her situation at this moment, so she naturally won't accept Mrs. Qiao's kindness, she smiled and said softly: "Thank you grandmother for your kindness, Ruosu is not a picky eater." ā
Look, what a sensible and pampered girl!
Several sisters of the Qiao family are notoriously difficult to serve, and they are even more particular about eating, and they are all the expenses of the running account after a meal.
Old Mrs. Qiao's eyes suddenly became fiercer, and she said to Qiao Ruoyun, Qiao Ruojiao and Qiao Ruoxi: "You cousins will take care of Sister Su in the future, and you will be sisters in the future, do you hear clearly?" ā
Qiao Ruojiao bit her lip, very unwilling: "Since Cousin Su is here, I think she will live in the courtyard of the original third sister." ā
The third sister she mentioned was Qiao Ruosu in her previous life.
Suddenly, the sound of a bowl hitting the table sounded, and the old lady was angry: "Presumptuous! She didn't speak again, but there was a sadness in her eyes that couldn't be hidden.
Ruosu was slightly moved, but her grandmother still really felt sorry for herself! How could she let herself live in the courtyard of the dead Qiao family's concubine.
The meal was eaten silently, and Mrs. Qiao found that Ruosu was just sandwiching the two dishes in front of her, and her small appearance was really pitiful, but between her eating gestures, there was a sense of arrogance and coldness.
Neither pretentious nor artificial.
Mrs. Qiao, who watched it, liked it more and more, so she personally prepared dishes for her: "Sister Su is very delicate, but you need to eat more." ā
Seeing this, Qiao Ruoyun's brows furrowed almost inaudibly, grandmother was usually kind to the sisters, but she had never been so kind.
Ruo Su noticed the looks of several cousins, raised her eyes and said to Mrs. Qiao: "Grandmother, Ruo Su is clamping herself, don't worry about it, Ruo Su has no mother since she was a child, and she is very kind when she sees her grandmother, so it is better to let Ruo Su serve you for dinner." ā
These words poked into Mrs. Qiao's heart, and the mood of missing the deceased second daughter was all shifted to the love for this granddaughter.
The grandparents and grandchildren are really happy.
Ruo Su in the previous life was the only concubine of the Qiao family, always thinking about how to please everyone, cowardly, and never dared to say these words.
Sometimes, the effort on the lips can be more effective than the actual action.
She learned this trick from that 'good' eldest sister Qiao Ruowan.
She wanted to see what else this femme fatale, but on the surface was kind and virtuous, could do!
At this time, a maid and a woman surrounded a few noble ladies and walked out of the flower hall-----
