Although he had been prepared in his heart, Li Xiu was still taken aback by the price of sesame oil, but in the end he reluctantly bought a jar, first, he promised Ma Ye, and secondly, he was fed up with the days without soap, so he had to make some for his own use no matter what.

After buying all the things, Li Xiu hired a carriage to carry the things up, and then prepared to go to the vegetable market in the south of the city to find Boss Liu, but the carriage had not yet left the West Market, but the road ahead was blocked, and countless people crowded together as if they were watching something, which made Li Xiu very curious and asked the car boss: "Uncle, what are you doing in front, why do you surround so many people?" ”

The driver who drove the car was an old man in his fifties and sixties, and when he heard Li Xiu's question, he smiled and said: "What else can you do, the imperial court is executing criminals again, and the people who were killed today are not small, you should have heard of it!" ”

"Oh, who was killed?" Li Xiu also asked very curiously when he heard this, and even the coachman said that he should have heard of it, and it seems that the person who was killed should be very famous.

"Nanliang Xiao Milling, this is a thief who is called the emperor, I heard that there are millions of soldiers in the south, but they were still destroyed by our Tang Dynasty." When the coachman uncle said the end, his face also showed a little proud, although the Tang Dynasty was founded not long ago, but the external war and successive victories, the internal implementation of recuperation, the people under the rule of Datang have long been at home, the general trend of the world has been unstoppable.

"It turned out to be him!" Li Xiu also nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, but then he asked a little strangely, "No, I heard that Nanliang was destroyed last year, why was Xiao Mo executed this year?" ”

"That's not something we little people can know!" Uncle Cheman smiled again, he was able to call Xiao Miao's name was already well-informed, for example, among the onlookers in front, many people didn't know who the person they wanted to kill was, they just wanted to watch the excitement.

The reason why Li Xiu knew Xiao Milling was actually from the memory of the previous Li Xiu, because although the main general who destroyed Xiao Milling was Li Xiaogong, it was actually his cheap father Li Jing in his life who really commanded the army.

Because there were too many people, Li Xiu's carriage couldn't pass at all, and the execution site was too far away from him, even if he stood on the carriage, he couldn't see anything at all, and finally he discussed with the coachman and decided to make a detour, but in the end, he didn't know how far he went around before he got out of the West Market, and fortunately, Datang's carriage didn't need to be watched, otherwise Li Xiu would have to die.

When he arrived at Le'an Fang and found Boss Liu who had just finished selling vegetables, Li Xiu suddenly thought of one more thing, and asked Boss Liu at the moment: "Uncle Liu, I lack a few servants to work at home, do you know where to buy servants?" ”

As soon as he heard that Li Xiu wanted to buy a servant, he didn't wait for Boss Liu to speak, but the coachman preemptively said: "Son, it's not easy for you to buy people, it's in Da'an Fang next door, there is a mule and horse market, and the mule and horse market sells both cattle and horses, whether it is a servant or a maid, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can buy it." ”

"Luoma City? Selling people? Li Xiu couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, he knew that there was a market in Chang'an City that specialized in selling people, but he didn't expect that the place where mules and horses were sold also sold people, but this is ironic enough, people and mules and horses are treated as commodities together, and they are sold at a price, which is probably unimaginable in later generations.

"Master, I also heard that there are people selling in the mule and horse market opposite, why don't we go and have a look?" Boss Liu also suggested at this time, he felt that Li Xiu should have bought a few people to serve, especially the maids, after all, there were no women in the family, and Li Xiu had to do everything like washing clothes and cooking, which was also a bit too out of character.

Li Xiu is indeed a little lazy, and since he has come to this era, he has to learn to adapt to the rules of this era, and it is normal to buy a few servants and maids, but when he heard the description of the coachman, he imagined the scene of people being sold with cattle and horses, and suddenly he felt a little bored, and finally shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's talk about this matter another day!" ”

Driving the carriage back home, Boss Liu and they helped carry the things down, and then Li Xiu paid for the car again, and was about to send the coachman away, when he suddenly saw a group of people riding horses from the princess's courtyard, and when he approached Li Xiu, he found that there were Ma Ye and his entourage among the people who came, and next to Ma Ye, there was a middle-aged man wearing a crimson court dress, with three long beards under his chin, looking very chic.

Ma Ye and the middle-aged man came to the door of Li Xiu's house with a smile, and then shouted at Li Xiu: "Boy, hurry up and welcome the holy decree, the reward for you has come down!" ”

Before Li Xiu could react, he saw that the middle-aged official dismounted, and then pulled out a holy decree from his sleeve and said, "Li Xiu takes the decree!" ”

"Huh?" Li Xiu finally reacted at this time, but he was a little at a loss, because he didn't know what to do next, fortunately, Ma Ye made a kneeling gesture to him at this time, which let Li Xiu know what to do, and hurriedly knelt down at the moment, and Boss Liu and others behind him also knelt down in the same way.

"The system said: Li Xiu, the son of Li Jing, the prince of Yongkang County, lives outside the court, worries about the country's social welfare, and dedicates the method of wound suturing for the country to save the lives of thousands of soldiers......"

At first, Li Xiu could still understand the content of the holy decree, which was nothing more than praising him for his loyalty to the country, offering the method of suturing wounds to save countless people, etc., but the next content was a little incomprehensible, but it seemed to be praising him, and in the end, Li Xiu was dizzy when he heard it, and he didn't understand what he was praising him, so he simply didn't listen, and just focused on making a respectful appearance.

finally waited until the other party finished reading this stinky and long holy decree, and then the middle-aged official put his hands away, put the holy decree in Li Xiu's hand with a smile and said: "Captain Li has been so valued by the imperial court at a young age, and his future is limitless!" ”

"Huh?" Li Xiu was dumbfounded again, it was only a moment of effort, how did he become a captain, could this be the court's reward for himself, but he didn't listen carefully just now, and he didn't know what kind of captain he was?

Seeing that Li Xiu was stunned, Ma Ye smiled and helped him to the middle-aged man: "Thank you Zhou Sheren for coming to announce the decree this time, if he is free in the day, he will definitely invite Zhou Sheren to have a few drinks!" ”

"General Ma's words are serious, and the lower officials are also acting according to the order, and now that the holy decree has been announced, if there is nothing to do, the lower officials will return to the palace to resume their lives!" This Zhou Sheren also said very politely. Ma Ye and this Zhou Sheren were not very familiar with each other, so they also chatted a few words at this time, and then sent the other party away.

After Zhou Sheren left, Li Xiu reacted and hurriedly asked Ma Ye: "Uncle Ma, what did the holy decree say, I was only surprised just now, and I didn't understand what the holy decree said?" ”

"What else can I say, of course it is a reward for you, this time the court is really generous, not only rewarded you with a military officer who is a captain of the fruit, but also a field, copper coins and maid rewards, such a rich reward is estimated to be on your father's face." Ma Ye replied with a smile, just now he also received the holy decree of reward, and he also received some rewards, because he also had the merit of recommending Li Xiu, so the court naturally would not forget his merits.

"Really? Great, where is the land and the money? Li Xiu was also very happy when he heard this, don't give things for nothing, not to mention that these are also what he deserves.

"Look at your wealth fan, everything is behind me, including your official clothes and maids, but the fields will not be measured by the people of the county until tomorrow!" Ma Ye glanced at Li Xiu and said, and after speaking, he pointed behind him, and then Li Xiu found that Ma Ye was followed by two young maids, holding trays in their hands, one of which had an official uniform on it, and a copper coin on the other.

"Your Majesty is really generous, even someone brought money to give it, and then I have nothing to do, you can watch and dispose of it yourself!" Ma Ye spoke again, and after speaking, he left with his own people, leaving only Li Xiu and the two maids who were rewarded to him in front of the door, as well as Boss Liu and others.

"Master, great joy, now you are also an official, and you have a bright future in the future, and you only said today that you want to buy a maid, but Your Majesty rewarded two, which shows that your luck is really good!" At this time, Boss Liu and others also gathered around to congratulate.

Li Xiu was also very happy at this time, not only because of these things rewarded, but as Ma Ye guessed, the imperial court only gave him a military official, and now he finally didn't have to worry about being pulled into an official.

After sending off Boss Liu and the others, Li Xiu had time to beckon the two maids into the house, and asked them to put down their things, and then sat in the living room by himself, the two girls stood side by side in front of him, Li Xiu found that he did feel like a landlord and an old man now. But at the same time, he was a little slanderous about Li Yuan, and he only rewarded two maids, which was too stingy, and judging from his critical eyes, these two maids were not very beautiful, one was too fat, and the other was too young, but it was not surprising, after all, he was just a small captain of Zhiguo, and it was estimated that what was rewarded to him was also picked by others.

"Ahem, okay, from today onwards, you are the descendants of my Li family, now you tell me your name, how old you are this year, start with the one on the right!" Li Xiu coughed dryly at the moment and said, looks don't matter, anyway, he is not looking for a wife, the important thing is that these two maids must be able to help him work.
