The next day, Xue Jinyi came to the guest house, and when the three young women sitting in the pavilion saw her, they immediately got up and bowed respectfully to her.

“…… Thanks to Princess Chu for redeeming the three slave families, the slave family is willing to serve the princess with all her heart. ”

Xue Jinyi looked at them, the three of them were about thirty years old, and they looked beautiful, but they all had a slight trace of time, especially because of the dark circles under their eyes caused by drinking for many years and staying up late, and the gouache of not very good quality made the skin look a little bad, as if the delicate flowers began to wither.

They were all prostitutes from Pingkangfang, and until they were in their early twenties, they all lived in spacious courtyards, with three or five maids to serve them, and they lived a life of drunkenness and money.

However, with the passing of youth, there will never be a shortage of beautiful and talented women in Pingkangfang, and the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, they are like the front waves disappearing on the beach, and no traces can be found.

No matter how hard they struggle, it is difficult to leave the hearts of benefactors, because when they are young, they don't know how to save money to leave a way back, and they can't redeem themselves when they are old, and they will eventually fall very miserably, unless they find someone who is willing to redeem their lives, there may be a glimmer of life after a good life.

Xue Jinyi was quite satisfied.

The three people have passed several layers of screening, and their character is okay, which is the most important thing.

Secondly, because of old age and decay, the ransom money is not high, as long as you clean it up, you can still be young and beautiful, and your voice is tactful and good, and you have learned the ability to speak and welcome guests in Pingkangfang, plus you have enough work to survive after redeeming them, which can make them do their best and assist her in running a rouge gouache shop.

However, these are not enough.

After she asked the three of them to get up, she carefully examined their faces again.

She instructed Qinglan to do everything they could to dress up seriously today, but at present, they all have their own shortcomings, but fortunately, this kind of thing can be made up for through learning.

Xue Jinyi asked, "Qinglan has already told you the purpose of coming here, right?" ”

"Yes." A woman in blue lowered her eyes and replied very respectfully: "The rouge gouache shop under the princess's hand is short of guys. ”

"Hmm." Xue Jinyi nodded, "I will pass on what I have learned to you, please the three ladies must study carefully, and I will assess you every time you pass." If you can't meet my requirements, I will resell you to other places, and I don't know if you can be as good as the king's house. ”

The reason why she said it so cruelly was mainly to encourage them to study seriously.

The three of them hurriedly responded seriously, and they all said that they would study hard and live up to Princess Chu's expectations.

Xue Jinyi smiled and said: "When you pass the assessment, our rouge gouache shop will officially open, in addition to the fixed monthly salary, we will also give you some money according to the profit." You only need to work in the shop for five years, and then you can stay in the shop or go out and set up another business with the skills you have learned. ”

When the three of them heard this, they were all surprised and delighted, and saluted and thanked her again.

Where to find such a kind owner?

I used to be young and ignorant, and I wasted money on nothing. Now it is not easy to have a glimmer of life, they must learn a lesson, grasp it well, and live up to the grace of Princess Chu's reconstruction.

Xue Jinyi's eyebrows were full of smiles, looking peaceful and amiable, "Without further ado, let's start now." ”

It wasn't until the evening that Xue Jinyi came out of the guest house.

Qinglan pondered for a moment, and hesitated to speak, "Princess, they are all prostitutes, I'm afraid that dealing with them will be detrimental to their reputation, right?" ”

"Prostitutes are accustomed to seeing all kinds of people, knowing their eyes, how to meet each other, where do ordinary women know so much? It's a waste of time to teach. Xue Jinyi disagreed, "The court officials are still in and out of Pingkangfang." Besides, it's been two or three years since they were popular, who remembers them? ”

Qinglan said: "But ......"

"She is a beautiful woman and has never been a chivalrous woman." Xue Jinyi sighed.

"Where did Ah Jin get this realization?"

As he spoke, Pu Yangxuan's figure appeared around the corner in front of him, looking at his wife with a smile.

That's a couplet sent by a famous general to a confidant in modern times, where in the world has there ever been such a thing? Xue Jinyi calmly explained: "When I was studying, I read the story of a chivalrous woman who was born hundreds of years ago and became a generation of famous generals. ”

Qinglan was woken up and laughed at herself: "Throughout the ages, there are too few such women, and the slaves and maids have forgotten about them." ”

Xue Jinyi patted her shoulder absently, "Let's see if these three people can come in handy first." ”

Pu Yangxuan's eyes were shining, and he looked at her affectionately.

He knew that his wife was the one who could see that, but it always surprised him.

Xue Jinyi was a little embarrassed by him, after all, it was the work of her predecessors, and she just used it for her purpose, and she wanted her to compose poems by herself, and she didn't know what kind of bullshit it it was.

"Xuan." She exclaimed sweetly.

Pu Yangxuan responded by taking her hand.

Qinglan silently took a few steps back, smiling at the back of them walking hand in hand.

"I chose three prostitutes from Pingkangfang, taught them skills, and became rouge shop buddies in the future." Xue Jinyi smiled: "The three of them are smart, and they can basically learn it, so they don't need to worry too much." ”

"That's good." Pu Yangxuan said softly: "I'm afraid that people who are too stupid will make you too busy and leave me aside and ignore me." ”

"How can I ignore you?" Xue Jinyi put on his arm, like a pleasing kitten, "I made a flower chicken today, buried by the pond in the garden, there is a lotus there, it should grow and bloom year after year, so there is naturally a fragrance in the soil, I will try to do it, it should be about the same by now." ”

Pu Yangxuan sniffed vigorously, "I seem to have smelled the fragrance." ”

"Exaggerated." Xue Jinyi covered her mouth and laughed, "By the way, did you go out to run errands smoothly?" ”

"Smooth," Pu Yangxuan lowered his voice, "I will sneak into the mansion tonight and keep an eye on it, and I will never let them take advantage of it again." ”

"Let's see what tricks they dare to play." Xue Jinyi snorted coldly.

In Pu Yangxuan's opinion, she was also cute with a straight face, and couldn't help but lean over and kiss her on the forehead.

The itchy feeling made Xue Jinyi smile knowingly, took his hand and walked quickly to the pond, first buried the remaining sparks with sand, and then used a small shovel to dig up the soil and pull out a few black lumps of soil.

"His Royal Highness the King of Chu, please." Xue Jinyi smiled and made an inviting gesture, as if Pu Yangxuan was holding the soil ball and gnawing on it.
