"Boy, what kind of expression do you have? Do you still feel wronged when you become an official?" Ma Ye couldn't help asking when he saw Li Xiu's expression of tears.

"Uncle Ma, compared with the soldiers fighting on the front line, the little tricks of the younger generation are nothing, and the younger generation is too young and has no experience as an official. If he really becomes an official, wouldn't he cause trouble for the court?" Li Xiu said to Ma Sanbao with a wry smile, that he was unwilling to be an official from the bottom of his heart.

But what Li Xiu didn't expect was that when Ma Ye was stunned when he heard his words, he then laughed and said, "You guy is so beautiful. Do you think you can get a real official position with this contribution? Let me tell you that the court will give you a scattered official at most. Tell me, how old are you this year?"

"Ten...Eighteen!" Li Xiu replied honestly. Li Xiu was indeed only eighteen years old this year. He was only a little over sixteen when he fell in love with the little nun. So it is not a good thing to say that a child is too precocious.

"That's it. Although Shiba is considered an adult, he is still too young to be an official. I guess the reward I will give you this time is mainly land and money, and then give you a separate official. It is considered to be a rank in the court. You can only be appointed as an official after you are twenty years old. And this is due to your origin as a general, otherwise you don't know when you will have to wait." Ma Ye smiled and helped Li Xiu analyze.

"It turned out that he was just a scattered official without power and no position. I was so scared just now!" Li Xiu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. From Li Xiu's memory, he learned that the official positions in the Tang Dynasty were divided into scattered positions and scattered positions. The scattered positions were serious positions. The corresponding official positions had corresponding power. The scattered positions were equivalent to official registration and ranks. Only officials with scattered positions were considered real officials. Those who only had scattered positions could only be called scattered officials. It was equivalent to you having an official registration, but you had to wait for the appointment of the court.

"Look at your appearance, are you so unwilling to be an official?" Ma asked again. Although he had seen many people who were unwilling to be an official, most of them were famous and virtuous people, and they were older. They were unwilling to be an official in the Tang Dynasty for various reasons. However, Li Xiu did not meet any of the above points. A person as young as him should pay the most attention to his future?

"What's the best thing about being an official? Not only do you have to follow the time and be under the jurisdiction of your superiors every day, but you also have to be careful of your subordinates making traps for yourself. This kind of life is tiring just thinking about it. How can I feel as comfortable as I am now?" Li Xiu said without ambition. After solving the problem of eating, he gradually adapted to the life of the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the tense and busy fast pace of his previous life, he also liked the leisurely slow-paced life more and more.

"You..." Ma Master felt tired when he heard that Li Xiu didn't want to be an official, which made him so angry that he didn't know what to say. If Li Xiu was his son, he would have slapped him at this time.

Li Xiu didn't think he was wrong. At this time, the mistress also ran out of the doghouse and circled around his feet. This made Li Xiu feel happy. He bent down and picked it up, and used his fingers to help him comb his hair. This little black dog was indeed very clever. Now Li Xiu has taught it to excrete at the point of guidance. Next, he plans to train it to shake hands, roll around and other cute skills.

Seeing Li Xiu making the Dog smile, Ma Ye suddenly felt a little discouraged. He could feel that Li Xiu was talking about psychological words, which made him a little helpless. After a while, he said, "Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions. It's your business that you don't want to be an official. Maybe you will change your mind in a few years."

When Li Xiu heard Ma’s words, he smiled calmly and did not stop on this topic. Instead, he asked Ma to come into the house and sat down. Speaking of which, this was the first time Ma’s time to come to his house. Then Li Xiu showed a curious expression and asked: “Uncle Ma, last time I saw you lose your temper by the river and drove away a group of gift-giving people. What is the reason?”

"No, a group of people I don't like came to give gifts. I'm already in a good temper if I didn't hit them and gave them a leg!" As soon as I mentioned the person who gave gifts there, Ma immediately became angry.

"Uncle Ma, why did I hear Lao Qi say that those who gave gifts were from the Prince Consort's Mansion. Isn't the Prince Consort's husband the princess? Why..."

"You guys don't ask so much. I'll celebrate my birthday tomorrow. You can go there too, but don't bring any gifts, just bring them with you open your mouth!" Before Li Xiu finished asking, Ma interrupted him, and at the same time said the second thing he had come to find Li Xiu.

"Day for birthday? No wonder others give you gifts!" Li Xiu said to himself again when he heard this, and then smiled and said to Mr. Ma, "Uncle Ma, if you celebrate your birthday, I'm afraid it's not good if I go empty-handed as a junior!"

"You talk a lot, but you really don't prepare gifts, otherwise I will turn against you. Speaking of which, the princess usually helped me during my birthday, and I never wanted to invite anyone, but this year the princess is not here, and I happened to like you again, so I invited you one. Then we will sit together and have dinner and chat!" Mr. Ma said again. He is also in a high position, but he is willing to be a slave to the princess, and he does not usually interact with the powerful people in the city. This is also one of the main reasons why others say that he has a weird temper.

"I understand, Uncle Ma, you are noble and disdainful and disdainful to be with the powerful. Instead, you can see that I am a noble person. Then I asked me to go and celebrate your birthday. I have to say that you have a good vision!" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"You boy's shameless appearance makes you an official, I'm really worried that you will lose the face of the court!" Master Ma couldn't help but laugh and scold him when he heard Li Xiu's obvious boasting words. It was strange that he didn't know why. The more he looked at Li Xiu, the more he felt like he was. I guess this was the fate of the two of them!

Next, Li Xiu and Ma Master chatted for a while. Ma Master had something to go to Chang'an, so Li Xiu finally sent him away in person. After returning home, he was a little idle. Fortunately, there was still a mistress there, so he held the snack in one hand and directed the mistress to roll on the ground with the other. If he did the right thing, he would give him a piece of snack. As a result, the little guy learned very quickly. In the afternoon, it already knew how to roll on the ground with Li Xiu's gesture, and then shook his tail and stuck out his tongue to ask him for snacks.

Seeing that his training had achieved results, Li Xiu was also very happy. He took his mistress outside to have fun. You can't keep surrounding dogs. You must exercise enough so that you can eat more and grow stronger and you won't get sick easily.

However, no matter how smart the mistress is, the only thing that makes Li Xiu dissatisfied is its name. I think he doesn't even have a wife now, but he has already raised a mistress. How can he bear it? He originally wanted to change the name of the puppy more than once, but after thinking about it, he was not satisfied. Now that he is called smoothly, he is too lazy to change it again.

He took the mistress to run by the river for a while, and then Li Xiu continued to test his training results. He reached out and drew a circle on the mistress. The other party's round body immediately rolled, which made Li Xiu laugh, and then drew a circle again. The mistress rolled again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle again, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, drew a circle immediately, which made Li Xiu laugh, and then drew a circle again, which made Li Xiu laugh, and then drew a circle again, drew a circle again, which made Li Xiu laugh, and then drew a circle again, drew a circle again, which made Little Three roll into the river!

Fortunately, the water in the river was shallow in winter and the river bank was not steep. Xiaosan rolled all the way and finally fell into the mud by the river. Li Xiu was so scared that he hurried down to carry it up. At this time, Xiaosan was so scared that his whole body was trembling, and his mouth kept screaming, and his chubby body was huddled in Li Xiu's arms and never dared to come out again.

Looking at the mistress full of mud, Li Xiu couldn't help but sigh and went home to boil water to bathe it. The mud on the mistress was easy to wash off, but there was a piece of fur under his neck and I didn't know what it was. It was so oily that it couldn't wash off. This made Li Xiu miss the soap in his previous life very much. In fact, let alone mistress, he took a casual bath during this period, without soap or bath liquid, which made him feel that he couldn't wash it clean.

"What do people in the Tang Dynasty use to take a bath? I remember that there seems to be something called panzi?" Li Xiu said to himself at this time. Li Xiu had a memory of the previous one, and many things were blank. For example, in terms of bathing, panzi was something he saw by chance in his previous life.

"Forget it, go to the Princess's Mansion to ask. If there is one, borrow some first." When Li Xiu thought of taking a shower, he felt itchy on his body. He wiped the mistress for a while, and then went straight to the Princess's Villa.

Mr. Ma went to Chang'an City, but there were still many servants in charge in the courtyard. Li Xiu had already been familiar with them. He came to a yard on the left side of the courtyard. This was where Mr. Ma usually lives, and then found a young servant. The other party's surname was Liu, who was a servant who took care of Mr. Ma's daily life. Li Xiu was also very familiar with him. When he saw him, he immediately said straight to the point: "Brother Liu, do you have any things to cleanse your body when taking a bath, such as pancreas or something?"

"Yes, Mr. Ma is just using pancreas!" Brother Liu immediately replied. He was Ma Master's personal servant, so he naturally knew Li Xiu's status in Ma Master's eyes. Moreover, Mr. Ma had also told him that seeing Li Xiu was like seeing him, so he also showed great respect.

"That's great. Can you lend me some pancreas first? I don't have any at home!" Li Xiu said with a smile. A piece of soap in later generations costs only a few dollars, so Li Xiu didn't take pancreas seriously at all.

"Ah? This..." Brother Liu was stunned when he heard Li Xiu's request, and then showed a embarrassed expression. However, thinking of Ma's explanation, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, young master, please wait!"

After saying that, Brother Liu turned around and went to Ma Ye’s room. After a while, he took out a small wooden box. It looked very delicate. After opening it, it was a black ball inside, which looked much ugly than soap, but it smelled a little fragrant, which was very similar to soap.

"Thank you, I'll go to Chang'an to buy a piece for you when I have time!" Li Xiu took the panzi and thanked Brother Liu, then turned around and left. He was in a hurry to go home to wash himself and his mistress well. However, he didn't notice what Brother Liu behind him wanted to say several times, but maybe he saw that Li Xiu didn't care at all, but in the end he just opened his mouth but couldn't make a sound. However, looking at his mouth, he said the words "saving some use".
