"Let's go, don't live in prison when the negotiation is settled." Lao Wei personally helped Xiao Rui pack up his things.

"Don't clean up, these things are all ordered by Liu County, I was summoned to inquire alone, and I was arrested without bringing my clothes, how can I have anything to pack?"

Lao Wei ignored it, and cleaned up the manuscript on the table by himself, "You kid think that Liu Renliang is so kind?" See the quality of the paper? The county government office used less than these, and people bought the most expensive ones on the market out of their own pockets. I'm just waiting for you to get out of prison, so I can get your Mobao naturally. ”

At this time, the laughter of the county magistrate Liu Renliang came from the corridor of the prison: "Doctor Wei, you have wronged the lower officials, and the lower officials purely worship Lord Xiao." It's a pity that the officials are soft-spoken, and it is useless to intercede with His Majesty, so they can only do what they can. ”

Wei Zheng and Xiao Rui turned their heads to look and saw Liu Renliang coming over with a middle-aged catcher, who seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time.

Xiao Rui smiled: "You guessed that I was released from prison today?" ”

Liu Renliang shook his head and said: "Xia Guan is not a fortune teller, but Doctor Wei came with a holy decree, that is, His Majesty has made a decision, either use it or kill it." No matter how it is arranged, Xia Guan is going to come over. ”

Wei Zheng sneered: "Okay, no need to hide it." It's not that you don't know, Your Majesty will never kill anyone......"

"Doctor Wei, are you pitiful and pitiful? Leave me two, no, even one, it will cost me a month's salary to buy this blank paper, and in another month, the family of five may have to eat white porridge to survive. If you leave one, I'll be able to get it back. Seeing that Wei Zheng's hands were non-stop, Liu Renliang finally couldn't hold back.

Wei Zheng made it clear: "Back to the roots? This one can be sold for at least 100 taels of silver, do you want to sell it for money? This official helped Lord Xiao pack it up and take it back. ”

Xiao Rui looked at the Qipin County Order in front of him, glanced back at the shameless Lao Wei, and said jokingly: "Liu County Order, everything is provided by you, I am really embarrassed to scribble on your white paper." But you just watched Dr. Wei snatch your things? ”

Well???

Wei Zheng was stunned, then his old face turned red, and he scolded: "Boy, did you do it on purpose?" ”

Liu Renliang was also stunned for a moment, and then rushed to the table in ecstasy, and grabbed the draft in Wei Zheng's hand, "Doctor Wei, thank you for helping to clean up, just come to this rough job." Come on, come on, hurry up, help Dr. Wei and Master Xiao go back, how can you let the guests work? I don't have any eyesight to see ......."

Burst...... Xiao Rui really didn't expect that this Liu Renliang was as shameless as Lao Wei, listen to this?

Xing Zhutou and the cell bosses understood, and hurriedly rushed up, instantly surrounded Lao Wei, and then couldn't help but leave the prison. Xiao Rui followed behind and laughed, Old Wei, Old Wei, this is someone else's territory, even if you are a member of the imperial court? Someone is not afraid of you.

On the way back, Xiao Rui asked seriously: "This Liu Renliang is good, Lao Wei?" Even you are not afraid. Why don't you transfer him to the Imperial Observatory? ”

Wei Zheng smiled, "I knew you had a crush on him, and you cooperated with the temptation just now." You have finally raised the status of the Imperial Historical Observatory, especially the six places, which are a living signboard. But if you are not there, I am afraid that no one will be able to shoulder the great responsibility. Okay now, that's him. But you have to tell Your Majesty about this, after all, Liu Renliang is the person promoted by His Majesty. ”

Xiao Rui nodded: "No problem, I'll go and say." Did you really just act with me just now? How do I feel like you're just coveting my words? ”

Wei Zheng glanced blankly, "Don't talk nonsense, in order to let you come out early, the old man ran up and down, don't write me two words to make amends, you kid don't want to leave." ”

"Gotta get it, I'll have someone send it to you when I get back."

Wei Zheng had to go on a business trip, and Xiao Rui went home directly.

In the palace, Li Er's head was as big as a fight at this time, and Xiao Yu, the Duke of Song Guo, and Su Yan, the great Si Nong, came together to intercede for Xiao Rui.

Especially Su Yan, who looked like he was going to crash into the Golden Palace, "Your Majesty, Xiao Rui is proficient in agriculture and labor, especially his views on agricultural affairs, which are only seen in the life of Wei Chen." With him in charge of Sinong Temple, Weichen dared to assert that within three years, our grain output could increase by 10%. It is very inappropriate to transfer him out of Sinong Temple, Your Majesty thinks twice......"

Xiao Yu also chimed in: "What Da Si Nong said is reasonable, and the minister seconded it. Even if you don't work in Sinong Temple, you shouldn't go to Youzhou to herd horses. Xiao Rui's improved papermaking technology has not yet been successfully tested, and it is related to the rise and fall of Datang's literature and Taoism in the next thousand years, and he can't go. ”

Of course, he can't say that he is reluctant to let his son go away, as the prime minister, he always has to have a reasonable explanation.

Seeing Li Er's difficulties, the chamberlain Lao Gao had already asked someone to quietly inform Xiao Rui to enter the palace. Poor Xiao Rui had just arrived home and changed his clothes after taking a shower, and he was invited to the palace without waiting for a moment to rest.

"Father, Da Si Nong, don't embarrass Your Majesty. Going to Youzhou is revolting. ”

Xiao Rui's voice sounded, Li Er's eyes lit up, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yu looked back at his son in surprise, but he didn't speak, he was not suitable to speak. The big Si Nong Su Yan next to him was puzzled: "Lord Xiao, why? At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the treasury was empty, money and grain were in short supply, you are proficient in agriculture, and you should use all your strength to revitalize agriculture, why do you have to go to Youzhou to herd horses? ”

Xiao Rui glanced at the emperor without a trace, and said in his heart If it weren't for me, would I be willing to run to the ice and snow? The Emperor pretended not to see it.

"Alas, the matter of food is not an overnight thing. With Dasi Nong here, Rui believes that you are doing better than me. Now that the northern Turks are strong, if we can't defeat the Turks, people won't let us develop agriculture with peace of mind. Youzhou Ma Zheng is related to the success or failure of the battle against the Turks, and if it is done well, many people will die in the future war. ”

But......

Da Sinong still wanted to say, but Xiao Rui came closer, whispered for a while, and the other party stood on the spot, and then he was overjoyed, bowed down and said goodbye to Li Er, no longer entangled. made Li Er and Xiao Yu confused, what did Xiao Rui say to Da Si Nong? Is it so easy to persuade?

After leaving Da Si Nong, the rest will be easy to do, Li Er said with a smile: "Brother Shi Wen, Xiao Rui, this kid is the most assertive, just listen to him." If the child wants to do something, we should support the elders. ”

I'm ...... Xiao Yu was speechless, call me Brother Shiwen? As a child in-laws? So what else can I say?

Xiao Rui gave a big roll of his eyes: "As long as you remember that promise." Let's go, Dad, I haven't slept in two days, shall we go home? ”

The father and son saluted and retired. Li Er was confused, what did this kid say? What promises? When did I promise you?

It turned out that the promise to marry another room was made up by Lao Wei himself. As for the purpose of deceiving Xiao Rui? Or selfishness for her daughter, hehe, it's hard to say.

When she returned home, Mrs. Xiao heard that her son had made a great contribution and was going to be sent to the bitter cold land of Youzhou, so she wiped her tears in distress, "Aren't you engaged to the princess?" Seeing that there are three more months to get married, what should I do if I go to Youzhou for a wedding? ”

Xiao Rui smiled and comforted: "Mother, Xiangcheng is still young, and the child is not in a hurry to get married, it is the time to make contributions." Well, just postpone the wedding. ”

Xiao Yu sighed and said, "Son, going to the border to be an official is not the same as when you went on a study tour. Alas...... For my father, I don't know what you have discussed with Your Majesty. But Your Majesty is right, you have grown up and have your own way to go. Prepare for a coming-of-age ceremony for your Father in three days. ”

A rite of passage? And this thing? Xiao Rui remembered that it seemed that yes, there was indeed a coming-of-age ceremony in ancient times, and on this day, you will be crowned and given a table word, and when you go out in the future, others will call you the table word, instead of calling your name directly, it is impolite to call your name directly.

Many elders or peers, when they are called minors without a name, they are not called by their first name, but by their nickname, even if they are called ranked, they are not called by their names.

For example, the nickname of Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms is Apu, and Xiao Rui's younger brother Xiao Yue is called Erlang.
