Chapter 434: I want to change my job and work for the Queen as a gatekeeper

As Qin Li finished speaking, there was a sudden silence around the courtyard wall.

Xian Yue looked at the other person blankly, until she realized what Qin Li meant, her face suddenly turned red.

"Guard Qin, you misunderstood, I didn't say I wanted to marry you!"

"Ah? Isn't that what you meant?" Qin Li looked at the other party blankly, "Then you just..."

"What I mean is that I have money, and I don't mind if my future husband has no money. I'm not saying that you don't have money, I am also willing to marry you, even if you are rich, I will not marry you !" Xianyue explained eagerly.

Qin Li breathed a sigh of relief at first, but when he heard Xian Yue's next words, he suddenly felt a lot of hurt and stood there awkwardly for a while.

Xian Yue also realized that there was something wrong with her words, and quickly made up for it: "Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you are not good, but if you want to get married, you have to marry the person you like. Guard Qin, you are very good, and you are with the emperor. There must be a promising future around me, but I don’t like it. No, I mean, I am just a slave, I am not worthy..."

"Okay, there's no need to say it. I understand everything." Qin Li stopped Xian Yue's words awkwardly, "I misunderstood just now. I'm really sorry. And you are the most trusted person around the Empress. Do you think you are worthy of it?" Yes, I am not worthy of you."

"No, it won't. I didn't say it clearly." Xian Yue said hurriedly.

Qin Li looked at her like this, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "So, were you just thinking about what kind of life you want to live in the future?"

"Yes." Xian Yue calmed down, nodded and said, "The lady told me that although I am a slave, it does not mean that I can only be a slave for the rest of my life. She asked me to think about what I want to do. What, what kind of life do I want to live in the future, but I really can’t think of it.”

"Then live the most normal life, get married and have children, isn't it good?"

"It's not bad, it's just..." Xianyue thought for a while and didn't know how to describe it.

"I just think that kind of life is quite boring, don't you?"

"That's right, it's just boring." Xian Yue pursed her lips, "Although I thought so before, and what I said just now was not a big lie. I have indeed saved some money by following the young lady over the years. Even if I have a husband in the future, If the family has no money, it shouldn't be a hard life. However, even if you get rid of your status as a slave and get married and have children, thinking about that kind of life, it doesn't seem that happy."

Marrying, having children, taking care of the housework, caring for her husband and raising children, she had always felt that such a life was the best life for a woman.

But after following the young lady for so long, I watched the young lady do so many things, which sounded like things that women should not do at all, but the young lady still did a good job. Sometimes she couldn't help but wonder, is there anything she can do?

Qin Li also leaned against the wall, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "I can't give you any advice, but I think if you really can't figure out this kind of thing, then you should do it first. Maybe you can do it. Keep doing it, and one day you will suddenly understand what kind of life you want to live."

"But the lady is still waiting for me to answer her."

Qin Li glanced at Xian Yue and said with a smile: "I don't think the Queen is anxiously waiting for your answer. She just hopes that you can take this matter seriously and consider it seriously."

Although he didn't have much contact with Xian Yue, he could also tell that Xian Yue's temperament was a bit soft. Maybe the Queen just wanted to give her a push and make her seriously consider this matter. Mo To avoid.

"Really?" Xianyue looked at Qin Li.

The latter nodded, "Really. Just think about it carefully, but there is no need to be too stressed. Don't look sad. If the Queen sees you, I'm afraid she will feel guilty instead."

"Okay." Xian Yue nodded, "I won't look sad in front of the lady."

After all, the young lady has enough troubles. If she had known that there were so many things going on in the Zhou family before coming, even if it made the young lady unhappy, she would have advised the young lady not to make this trip.

"One more thing..." Qin Li paused and looked at Xian Yue curiously.

"Ask whatever you want."

Qin Li hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Have you...really saved a lot of money?"

"Yes." Xianyue nodded, "I have saved several thousand taels."

"Ah?" Qin Li looked at the other party in disbelief, "How did you save so much money?"

All the savings he has together are probably only twenty or thirty taels of silver at most.

"The lady is kind to me. In addition to monthly money, she also gives me rewards during holidays. In addition, she will also give me gifts on my birthday. Especially in the past year or so, she has often given me some jewelry and items, and they also gave me a lot of monthly salary increase.”

Xianyue thought for a while and recalled what her young lady had said before.

"The lady said that it is not easy for a woman to survive in this world, and she must have money in her hands so that she can have the confidence and choice."

At the beginning, she also felt that the money given to her by the young lady was too much and she was really embarrassed to take it. But the lady told her that she deserved all this. The more times she said it, the more she gradually felt at ease. In addition to some daily expenses, she saved all the remaining money, and gradually she saved more and more.

"The Empress is so kind to you." Qin Li said with emotion, "But you can save it yourself. My monthly salary is not low, but I just can't save it. By the way, the Empress will give you a monthly salary increase. How much?"

"Fifty taels."

"How many?"

Qin Li suddenly raised his voice, which startled Xianyue. She quickly looked in the direction of the room, "Please keep your voice down. The Emperor and the Queen are talking to the Zhou family."

Qin Li lowered his voice, "Did I hear it wrong? What you just said was fifty taels?"

He must have heard wrongly. His monthly income is only twenty taels, and it is already very high!

"Yes, the business of the shop is getting better and better, and the lady has been increasing my monthly salary. Since the first two months, it has been fifty taels per month. In addition, the lady was unconscious some time ago, and I have been away for a while. Time store, the lady even gave me extra money."

Qin Li: "..."

"Xian Yue, can you help me ask the Queen if she still needs any guards?" Qin Li looked at Xian Yue pleadingly.

"Ah?" Xian Yue looked at Qin Li doubtfully.

"If you don't want a bodyguard, a sweeper will do. But if that doesn't work, I can go to Ning'an Marquis Mansion to look after the gate. I don't ask for much, just forty taels a month will do!"

Xianyue: "..." Did you promise to do your best to run errands for the emperor?
