Although he was prepared in his heart, Li Xiu was still shocked by the price of sesame oil, but in the end he still bought a jar. First, he promised Ma Ye, and second, he had enough of the days without soap, so he had to make some things for himself 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. However, before the carriage had left the west market, the road ahead was blocked. Countless people were crowded together as if watching something, which made Li Xiu ask the owner of the car curiously: "Uncle, what are you doing in front? Why are you surrounded so many people?"

The driver who drove the car was an old man in his fifties and sixties. When he heard Li Xiu’s question, he smiled and said, “What else can I do? The court is executing prisoners again. Moreover, the person who was killed today is quite famous. You should have heard of it!”

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

"Xiao Xian of Nanliang, this is a rebel who proclaimed himself emperor. I heard that he has millions of troops in the southern area, but he was still destroyed by our Tang Dynasty." When the coachman said it at the end, he also showed a look of pride on his face. Although the Tang Dynasty was established for a short time, he had won consecutive battles and rehabilitation in the country. The people under his rule had already returned to the Tang Dynasty, and the general trend of the world was unstoppable.

"So it's him!" Li Xiu nodded thoughtfully when he heard this, but then he asked strangely, "No, I heard that Nanliang was destroyed last year, why did Xiao Xian be executed this year?"

"This is not something that we ordinary people can know!" The coachman smiled again. It was already well-informed that he could call out Xiao Xian's name. For example, among the people watching ahead, many people didn't know who the person they were going to kill. They just wanted to watch the fun.

The reason why Li Xiu knew Xiao Xian was actually from the memory of the previous Li Xiu, because although the commander who destroyed Xiao Xian was Li Xiaogong, the one who really commanded the army was his cheap father Li Jing. Shortly after Li Xiu rebelled, Li Jing led his army to fight against Nanliang. Last year, Nanliang was destroyed, Xiao Xian surrendered and sent to Chang'an, but he did not expect that he was executed until now.

Because there were too many people, Li Xiu's carriage could not be passed at all, and the execution ground was too far away from him. Even if he stood on the carriage, he couldn't see anything. Finally, he discussed with the coachman and decided to take a detour. In the end, he turned around and turned around. He didn't know how far he had to leave the western market. Fortunately, the carriage in the Tang Dynasty did not need to be on a watch, otherwise Li Xiu would have to die.

When I arrived at Le'anfang, I found Liu and the others who had just sold the vegetables. Li Xiu suddenly thought of something again and asked Liu: "Uncle Liu, I lack a few servants at home to work. Do you know where to buy servants?"

When he heard that Li Xiu wanted to buy a servant, before Liu Dada spoke, the coachman took the lead and said, "Young Master, it's not easy for you to buy a person. Just in Da'anfang next door, there is a mule and horse market. In the mule and horse market, both cows and horses are sold, and whether it's a servant or a maid, you can buy it as long as you are willing to spend money."

"Mu and horse market? Selling people?" Li Xiu was stunned when he heard this. He knew that there was a market specializing in selling people in Chang'an City, but he didn't expect that the places where mules and horses were sold were also sold. However, this is ironic enough. People and mules and horses were used as commodities and sold at prices. This is something that I am afraid of unimagining in later generations.

"Master, I also heard that the people sold 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 him, especially the maid. After all, there are no women at home, and Li Xiu has to do everything like washing clothes and cooking, which is a bit too much of a loss of identity.

Li Xiu was indeed a little lazy, and since he came to this era, he had to learn to adapt to the rules of this era. It was normal to buy a few servants and maids. However, when he heard the description of the coachman and imagined the scene of people and cattle and horses being sold together in his mind, he suddenly felt a little bored, and finally shook his head and said, "Forget it, let's talk about this matter another day!"

When they drove the carriage back home, Liu and his friends helped to lift the things down. Then Li Xiu paid for the carriage and was about to send the driver away, suddenly a group of people came on horseback on the side of the Princess Villa. When they approached Li Xiu, they found that among the people who came were Ma Ye and his entourage. Next to Ma Ye, there was a middle-aged man in a crimson court suit, with three long beards under his jaw, which looked very chic.

Mr. Ma came to Li Xiu’s house with a middle-aged man talking and laughing, and then shouted at Li Xiu: “Boy, hurry up and welcome the imperial edict, and the reward for you is hereby given!”

Before Li Xiu could react, the middle-aged official dismounted and then pulled out an imperial edict from his sleeve and said, "Li Xiu received the edict!"

"Uh?" Li Xiu finally reacted at this time, but was a little helpless because he didn't know what to do next. Fortunately, Mr. Ma made a kneeling gesture to him at this time, which made Li Xiu know what to do. He knelt down quickly, and Boss Liu and others behind him all knelt down like this.

"The system says: Li Xiu, the son of Yongkang County Duke Li Jing, lives outside the court, worrying about the country and the country, offering wound sutures to the country, and saving the lives of thousands of soldiers..."

At the beginning, Li Xiu could understand the contents of the imperial edict, but it was nothing more than praising him for his loyalty to the country, offering wound sutures to save countless people, etc., but I couldn't understand the following content, but it seemed that he was praising him. In the end, Li Xiu was dizzy and didn't understand what he was praising him, so he simply stopped listening and focused on making a respectful look.

Finally, the other party finished reading this stinky and long imperial edict, and then the middle-aged official put the imperial edict in Li Xiu's hand with a smile and said, "Prince Li was valued so much by the court at a young age, and his future is unlimited!"

"Uh?" Li Xiu was stunned again. After only a while, why did he become a lieutenant? Could this be the reward from the court? But he didn't listen carefully just now and didn't know what kind of lieutenant he was?

Seeing Li Xiu stunned, Ma Ye smiled and helped him say to the middle-aged man: "Thank you this time for Zhou Sheren to come and announce the imperial edict. If you have time in the future, you will definitely ask Zhou Sheren to have a few drinks!"

"General Ma has a strong opinion, and the officials are also following the orders. Now the imperial edict has been announced. If nothing happens, the officials will return to the palace to report their lives!" Zhou Sheren said very politely. Mr. Ma is not very familiar with this Zhou Sheren, so he chatted for a few words at this time and then sent the other party away.

After Zhou Sheren left, Li Xiu reacted and hurriedly asked Mr. Ma: "Uncle Ma, what is the imperial edict? I was just surprised just now and didn't understand what the imperial edict said at all?"

"What else can I say? Of course it is a reward to you. This time the court is really generous. Not only did he reward you as a military officer who was the lieutenant of the lieutenant, but he also had fields, copper coins and maids. Such a generous reward is probably due to your father's face." Mr. Ma replied with a smile. He had received the imperial edict just now and received some rewards. Because he also gave the recommendation of Li Xiu, the court naturally would not forget his contribution.

"Really? It's great. Where are the fields and money?" Li Xiu said happily when he heard this. Don't give away anything for free, let alone these are what he deserves.

"Looking at your wealth-loving look, everything is behind me, including your official uniform and maids, but the fields have to be waited until tomorrow, and the people from the county will come to measure you!" Ma Ye gave Li Xiu a blank look, and after saying that, he pointed his hand behind him. At this time, Li Xiu discovered that there were two young maids following Ma Ye, holding a tray in his hand, one of which had an official uniform and the other with copper coins on it.

"Your Majesty is so generous. He gave him all the money. I'm fine. You can take care of it yourself!" Mr. Ma said again, and after that, he left with his own people. Only Li Xiu and two maids who were rewarded to him were left in front of the door, as well as Boss Liu and others.

"Master, you are very happy. Now you are an official and have a bright future. I just said that you want to buy a maid today, but Your Majesty rewarded two, which means that you are so lucky to be in your house!" At this time, Boss Liu and others all gathered to congratulate him.

Li Xiu was also very happy at this time. It was not just because of the rewards, but as Ma Ye guessed, the court only gave him a military sanctuary. Now he finally didn't have to worry about being dragged to be an official.

After seeing off Liu and others, Li Xiu had time to call the two maids into the house and let them put their things down. Then he sat in the living room with the two girls standing side by side in front of him. Li Xiu found that he really felt like a landlord and wealthy now. However, at the same time, he was a little slandering at Li Yuan. He only rewarded the maids, which was too stingy. And with his picky 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 lieutenant of Zhiguo, and it was probably the only one who gave him was left.

"Well, okay, from today on, you will be my servants of the Li family. Now you can tell me your name. How old is this year? Start with the one on the right!" Li Xiu coughed immediately. It doesn't matter. He is not looking for a wife anyway. What's important is that these two maids can help him work.
