To live or to perish, this is a question worth pondering. For Li Xiu, it has become persistence or change, in the society of Datang, which is incompatible with him, whether to adhere to his principles or change himself to become a real Datang person, this is indeed a question worth thinking about for Li Xiu, so Li Xiu decided to think about it seriously.

One second, two seconds, three seconds, Li Xiu suddenly figured it out, in fact, this is not a problem at all, he doesn't want to be a philosopher, let alone a hero who sacrifices his life, he is just an ordinary little person, maybe he has more than a thousand years of knowledge than the Tang Dynasty, but this does not make him a god, so for the above problem, when it does not endanger the safety of his own life and that of his family, it is appropriate to maintain principles, but when the safety of himself and his family's lives is endangered, as for what principles and bottom lines, to hell with them, The most important thing is that people live, and this is also the experience he summed up in his two lives.

Thinking about the above, Li Xiu also felt refreshed, but unfortunately he forgot that when he was about to starve to death, in the face of the roast chicken thrown by Ma Ye, he would rather choose dignity, so it doesn't matter how he decides, when things really come, maybe people will make their real choices.

However, thinking about these can't help Li Xiu solve the current predicament, because he was kicked out of the princess's courtyard by Ma Ye, and the other party kept asking Li Xiu to go back and be a man, so that he could get out of the previous emotional wounds, which made him cry and laugh, Ma Ye's kindness He could only understand it, but unfortunately it was really unblessed.

Unable to borrow a bed, Li Xiu had to shake his head and return home with a wry smile, it was nearly two days at this time, and it had begun to frost outside, Li Xiu hurried back home, but found that the lights were still on in the living room, and the voices of two girls were faintly heard from inside, and when he approached, he heard Liu Er say weakly: "Sister Yuechan, let's eat, I'm dying of hunger!" ”

"No, the master hasn't answered yet, how can there be a master in this world who hasn't eaten, and we are slaves and maids who eat first?" Yuechan's firm voice came out.

"But the master said before leaving, let us eat first without waiting for him, in case the master doesn't come back one night, won't we eat all night?" Liu Er argued again at this point, it sounded like she was really hungry.

"Wait, maybe the master will be back soon!" Yuechan insisted again, and Liu Er seemed a little angry when she heard this, and then did not speak again.

"Hehe, don't wait, I'm already back!" Li Xiu also smiled with satisfaction when he heard this, and immediately strode into the living room and said, Liu Er is clever and sensible, Yuechan knows the rules, it seems that Li Yuan is really good at picking people.

"Sir!" Seeing Li Xiu come in, Yuechan and Liu'er, who were already lying on the table, all stood up and saluted, there were a few small dishes and a pot of porridge on the table, and what was even more rare was that the porridge in the pot was still steaming, it seemed that Liu'er and Yuechan should take it to heat it up from time to time, so that Li Xiu could drink hot porridge as soon as he came back.

"Sit down, the first day you come, even if this meal is for you, sit down and eat together!" Li Xiu walked over and sat down at the table, and then smiled and beckoned Yuechan and Liu Er to sit down as well, he didn't have any concept of dignity and inferiority, and even in his opinion, entering the house was a family, so it was very common to sit down and have a meal.

However, Yuechan and Liu'er glanced at each other when they heard Li Xiu's words, and neither of them moved, and after a while, they heard Yuechan whisper: "Master, we are slaves, how dare we sit at the same table with you, so you better eat quickly, and we will eat when you finish eating!" ”

Li Xiu was also stunned when he heard Yuechan's words, and only reacted after a while, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile at the moment, and didn't force Yuechan and the two of them anymore, he picked up the porridge bowl and drank two sips, and tasted Liu'er's craftsmanship, and unexpectedly found that the taste was not bad, and he couldn't help but look up and praise Liu'er at the moment, but this little girl turned out to be shy.

After Li Xiu finished eating alone, Liu Er and Yuechan were going to bring the leftovers to the kitchen to eat, because they were subordinates, and they were generally not allowed to eat in the main hall, but this time Li Xiu stopped them and let them eat in the living room.

The subordinate eats the leftover meals of the master, which looks very bitter, but this is the living state of the ancient domestic slaves, in later generations, there are no servants in China, but a neighbor of China, that is, India, still allows the existence of servants, and these Indian servants also eat the remaining meals of the master, and the master directly throws the remaining food to them when he eats, just like a person feeds the bones to a dog after eating meat, real life is so cruel.

After Liu Er and Yuechan finished eating, the two of them cleaned up quickly, and it was time to go to bed, and Liu Er, who was smart but not scheming, suddenly asked: "Master, didn't you go to borrow a bed, what's the ...... Oops! ”

Liu Er's words were not finished, she was beaten by Yuechan with her elbow, and she couldn't say it anymore because of the pain, it seems that although Yuechan doesn't talk much, she is actually smarter than Liu Er, at least she can see that if Li Xiu borrowed the bed, I'm afraid it should have been sent just now, and she stopped Liu Er from asking questions because she was afraid that Li Xiu would be embarrassed.

"Hehe, to tell you the truth, sir, I went to borrow a bed but was kicked out, and I was told that I had a problem with my brain, wouldn't it be better to let you two warm the bed at night?" Li Xiu suddenly joked, he really wanted to see how the two girls reacted when they heard these words?

As soon as Li Xiu's words came out, I saw that the older Yuechan blushed all of a sudden, lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him, but the younger Liu Er stared at her innocent eyes and shouted: "Okay, good, I heard some sisters say before, as long as you warm the bed of your master, you can have meat to eat every day, and now that it's so cold, it must be very warm for the three of you to sleep together!" ”

"Huh? Eating meat every day, what a feeling of evil? Li Xiu shook his head suddenly, wanting to get rid of the unhealthy picture in his mind, Liu Er, this girl obviously doesn't understand anything, especially those pure big eyes, which really can't give birth to any evil thoughts, except for Lolita, of course.

"Liu'er, don't talk nonsense, follow your uncle in the future, no, follow the master to definitely live a good life of eating meat every day, but you don't need to warm the bed, you just came today, I am not fully prepared, but it's just one night, just get through it, and I'll let someone buy you a bed and bedding tomorrow!" Li Xiu said seriously, this time he didn't joke anymore.

"Master, we're not sleepy, why don't we just sit down and talk together!" At this time, Yuechan rarely took the initiative to propose, it seems that even if she is a slave, not everyone wants to sacrifice herself to her master.

"This proposal is good, I am quite interested in your Nanliang, can you tell me about Nanliang, and how did you come to Chang'an, it must be very hard along the way, right?" Li Xiu also nodded in agreement when he heard this, he and Nan Liang are also fateful, and there is really no other topic to talk about, so he can only ask this.

Although they are also the palace maids of Nanliang, Liu Er may not be able to say anything about Nanliang because of her young age, Yuechan knows a little, but she only introduced the general situation of Nanliang, and then talked about the process of them being escorted to Chang'an Road.

In fact, at that time, Li Jing and Li Xiaogong led troops to attack Southern Liang, and the Tang Dynasty never thought of destroying Southern Liang in a war, because there were still hundreds of thousands of troops in Southern Liang at that time, but Li Jing showed amazing military talent in this battle, and caught Nanliang off guard with a time difference, Xiao Milling surrendered helplessly, and a few days later more than 100,000 reinforcements arrived, but unfortunately it was too late, and there was Xiao Mill's persuasion, these hundreds of thousands of reinforcements also surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely for this reason, and also to appease the old department of Nanliang, so although Xiao Milling these captives of Nanliang were sent to Chang'an, they were not abused along the way, but because the mountains are high and the road is far away, so the road is very hard, such as Yuechan and Liu Er both said that they were escorted by the Tang Army on the road, and they had to walk dozens of miles every day, and their feet were blistered, and they were sleepy at night and there was no tent, so they just found a place to squeeze and sleep, for which many people were sick, and even some people died on the road, Yuechan and the two of them were very lucky to be able to make it to Chang'an alive.

From their stories, Li Xiu also has a better understanding of the situation in this era of the Tang Dynasty, such as rushing to Chang'an from the south, and it will only take a few hours in the afterlife, but it will take several months in this era, and the road conditions are complicated, and all kinds of dangers may occur, and for example, because of the war, thieves are everywhere, and even the regular army of the Tang Dynasty may be attacked by thieves. The local government has to look at the face of the thief.

This is only the end of a troubled era, Li Xiu is now very glad that he did not travel to the real troubled times at the end of the Sui Dynasty, otherwise he would not even be able to guarantee his own safety, at least he can live a peaceful life now, and it will get better and better in the future.

After Ma Ye kicked Li Xiu out of the princess's courtyard, he was always very curious about whether he asked the two maids to warm his bed after he went back? This question kept swirling in his mind, so that he couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and it wasn't until the second half of the night that he slept for a short while.

In the early morning of the next day, when the sun had not risen, Ma Ye woke up again, and this time he couldn't sleep anymore, which made him scold angrily, simply lifted the quilt and got dressed, and then ran straight to Li Xiu's house, he had to see in person whether Li Xiu had put the two maids to bed?

The courtyard wall of Li Xiu's house is only half a person high, Ma Ye is too lazy to call the door, he jumps directly into the courtyard with his hand on the wall, Xiao San has long been very familiar with him, and when he saw him come in, he not only did not scream, but also stuck out his tongue around him, Ma Ye didn't have time to pay attention to it, and went straight to Li Xiu's bedroom, but he found that the bedroom door was not locked, and there were still lights inside, and some sounds faintly came out, which made him feel even more strange, and pushed the door open and went in, only to see a scene that made him almost cry, Li Xiu and the two maids were indeed in bed, But it wasn't what he imagined.
