Chapter 113: Women's Nursing Home (Part II)
There are not many female guards invited by Princess Pingyang, only four, in fact, most of the retired female guards have a large amount of property in their hands, and they have Princess Pingyang behind them, so life is still quite good, the four of them are relatively unlucky, no matter how much Princess Pingyang can't find it.

After waiting for about an hour, the four female guards finally arrived one after another, and then entered the hall together, Li Xiu was talking to Princess Pingyang with a painful face at this time, the two of them were chatting very happily, but Princess Pingyang suddenly wanted to cook tea for Li Xiu on a whim, Li Xiu couldn't bear to refuse, so he could only drink a stomach full of tea soup with five flavors in tears, and he had to praise her for the tea soup she made with a clear conscience, well, at least it was better than the tea cooked by Ma Ye!
"See Your Highness!" After the four female guards came in, they immediately saluted Princess Pingyang, each with a little excitement on their faces, although they were wearing regular clothes at home, but when they saw Princess Pingyang, they still couldn't help but salute.
"No need to be polite, are you all okay during this time?" Princess Pingyang was also quite excited at this time, these four people were the first batch of female guards to follow her, and they were born and died with her many times, everyone was seriously injured, but now life is not very satisfactory, when she thinks of these, Princess Pingyang can't help but want to cry.
"The princess doesn't have to worry about us, now there is food and drink and there are children, it is a day that we didn't even dare to think about before, but we heard that the princess was injured in Gyeongju a few days ago, and we were quite worried about it, and then I inquired about the sisters of the army, only to know that the princess's injury has recovered, so I was relieved!" At this time, I saw the tall female guard standing on the far left speak.
Although this female guard is very tall, her cheeks are sunken and her figure is very thin, she is about thirty years old, she is wearing a shabby coarse cloth skirt, and her face is also tanned and shiny, she looks like an ordinary peasant woman, and those who see her for the first time probably can't believe that she was a heroic female soldier next to Princess Pingyang before.
Princess Pingyang heard this, her heart was a little gloomy again, although she has always regarded these guards as sisters, and they can live and die together on the battlefield, but after leaving the army, these sisters have invisibly distanced themselves from her because of the gap in identity, and they are even embarrassed to visit her, and even when they encounter difficulties, they are not willing to trouble her.
"Fat sister, the most annoying person like you with different hearts, I don't want to say that my life is not good, what else do you have to hide from the princess?" At this moment, I suddenly saw the young female guard standing on the far right speak, this female guard is beautiful, she looks like she is in her twenties at most, but the corners of her eyes are thin and thin, which makes her look a little mean.
After the young woman finished speaking, she took the initiative to stand up and salute Princess Pingyang and said: "Princess, I have nothing to say alone, but the fat sister has three children at home, and a lame man, a family of five all rely on the fat sister to rent other people's land to plant, more than a dozen acres of land she alone as a cow and a horse to clean up, this spring she actually rented an extra five acres of land, what do you see the fat sister is now thin?" ”
"Qiu Niang, don't talk nonsense......"
At this moment, a woman who looked honest next to the fat sister suddenly said in a hurry, but before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the outspoken Qiu Niang: "Ninth sister, don't help the fat sister hide it, your family's situation is not much better than the fat sister, since you married the gambler, how many times have I persuaded you to drive the gambler away, but you just don't listen, now look at your family, except for yourself and a child, what else is left?" ”
"I ......" The woman known as the ninth sister turned pale when she heard this, and she wanted to argue but didn't know what to say.
"Alas, since the fourth sister has said, then I won't hide it, last year the child's father had a serious illness, in order to treat him, the family's land and house were sold, but fortunately, the child's father's illness is almost good, and now he is barely on the ground, as long as the person is still there, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed!" At this time, the female guard standing next to Qiu Niang finally spoke, she was a dark-skinned young woman, and she was the best dressed among the four, but if you look closely, you will find that the neckline and cuffs of her clothes are worn out, and the jewelry on her head is also very cheap, and it seems that life is not very good.
Hearing the words of the fourth sister, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but show a sad look, and finally she raised her head and said to the fat sister who was the leader: "Fat sister, your life is so unsatisfactory, I feel distressed when I look at it, why don't you accept the fields that were sent to you before?" ”
When the four of them heard Princess Pingyang's words, they glanced at each other, and finally the fat sister said: "Your Highness, when we left, you had already rewarded us with enough land, and our lives were not good, so we fell to the point where we are now, but we all have hands and feet, how can we live only on your charity, I believe that as long as we survive this period, life will definitely get better!" ”
"Yes, Your Highness, we really don't need any land or anything, but if Your Highness can help me introduce a man, I will definitely be very happy to accept it!" At this moment, the outspoken Qiu Niang spoke again, and Li Xiu also saw that among the four female guards, her personality was the most pungent.
"I wanted to introduce you, but when people heard your Qiu Niang's name, they were all scared away, and they ...... You were too bold at the beginning! Princess Pingyang glared at Qiu Niang when she heard this, Qiu Niang was also one of her personal guards, and she was the most courageous among all the guards, but unfortunately that kind of thing happened when she got married, I am afraid that Qiu Niang will not be able to marry in this life.
"Princess, you can't blame me, who knew that the family was so inferior, but the younger brother went on a blind date but made the numb face lame, and the inhumane brother worshipped, and asked me to pass on all the land to their family's name, and then they beat and scolded me, and they didn't treat me as a human being, since this is the case, then I will teach them a lesson and castrate all the men in their family!"
Qiu Niang said unabashedly at this time, and her pungent personality was also unmistakable, especially when she said the words "castrated", even Li Xiu felt a chill in her crotch, thinking that this girl was really ruthless, no wonder no one dared to marry her.
After chatting a few digressions, Princess Pingyang suddenly pointed to Li Xiu beside her and said: "This is Li Xiu, the new sacrificial wine of our women's army, next to me, and he once saved my life, this time I also called the fat sister on behalf of Li Xianjiu!" ”
The fat sister and the four of them noticed Li Xiu when they first came in, and now they heard that the other party turned out to be the new sacrificial wine, and they also saved the princess, and they also showed a surprised expression at the moment, at this time Princess Pingyang said again: "This time I called the fat sister you to come, in fact, I want to discuss one thing with you, that is, there is a lack of a few nurses in the Li Sai Restaurant, so I found a few of you, and I want to ask if you are willing to serve as the nurse of the Li Sai Restaurant?" ”
"Nursing home? Li Xijiu is willing to ask a few women to be the nurse? As soon as Princess Pingyang's words fell, the outspoken Qiu Niang took the lead in speaking, and a pair of fox eyes also looked Li Xiu up and down in surprise, it is estimated that it is the first time she has heard that someone is willing to ask a woman to serve as a nurse.
Seeing that the four female guards were all looking at him with surprised eyes, he also smiled and said: "You don't have to be surprised, what's wrong with women, isn't the princess also a woman, but who dares to say that the princess is not as good as those generals in the court?" When the others were in the army, did they feel inferior to those male soldiers? ”
"Of course not, we are the princess's personal guards, few of those male soldiers are our opponents, especially the fat sister is known as the first strong man in our personal guards, a pair of sledgehammers is almost unstoppable!" When Qiu Niang said the end, she was also proud, if it was possible, she really regretted her decision to quit the army.
"What Hercules, Qiu Niang, don't praise me, I'm a farmer now!" The fat sister said a little embarrassed at this time, but recalling the glory in the army, her face also showed a little complicated.
"Hehe, fat sister, you don't have to be too modest, just now when I proposed to the princess that I wanted to hire a few nurses, the princess immediately recommended you to me, so it can be seen that she also recognizes your strength very much, so I want to hire four to serve as my family's nurses, with a monthly salary of two times, and a festival gift every New Year!" Li Xiu said with a smile, he had already inquired with Princess Pingyang before, the salary of the general nursing home is between one or two, and the top one is only two, Li Xiu can't go beyond this range, otherwise it will make them think that they are giving alms, and they will definitely not accept it at that time.
"Fat sister, you think about it, there is only one sister in Li Saijiu's family, she usually comes to play with me, their brothers and sisters are very easy-going people, and they treat their subordinates almost as family, you will definitely not be wronged when you go to him, and just relying on the salary of the nursing home, it is enough for you to support your family!" At this time, Princess Pingyang also opened her mouth to persuade.
The four guards below also showed heartfelt expressions when they heard Li Xiu and Princess Pingyang's words, two guan is not a small amount, enough for the family to live a rich life, and the work of the nursing home is not particularly heavy, at least it is much easier than they are now.
"I do! Anyway, I'm alone, and I don't have anything to worry about, and Li Xijiu doesn't seem to be married yet, if you don't mind, you can consider the little girl! At this time, I saw Qiu Niang being the first to speak, and she was very bold to tease Li Xiu, and threw a wink at him after speaking.
"Ahem! Since Qiu Niang agreed to be a nursing home, you can come the day after tomorrow, and the monthly salary must be paid on time! Li Xiu was frightened when he saw this, and hurriedly sat upright, he couldn't afford to mess with this woman, so he should stay away in the future, so as not to let Princess Pingyang misunderstand again.
After Li Xiu finished speaking, he looked at the remaining fat sister and the other three, but the three of them were already women, so it was not so easy to make a decision, and finally just said that they had to think about it, Li Xiu could also understand, and told them that if they wanted, then they would come with Qiu Niang the day after tomorrow, and he would arrange a place to live at that time.
