"What, I heard it right?" Princess Pingyang said in surprise, and even slashed her ears in front of Li Xiu in a very indecent way, because she doubted whether something was wrong with her ear?

"You heard it right. Uncle Ma just said he wanted to leave his slave family!" Li Xiu said helplessly. He couldn't understand what was embarrassed about this? But Mr. Ma just refused to come to Princess Pingyang in person, and instead asked him to pass on the message on his behalf.

"Haha~, Uncle Ma finally figured it out. When I first started the army, I wanted to help him get out of his slavery, but Uncle Ma just disagreed. Unexpectedly, he suddenly figured it out now!" Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile happily after receiving Li Xiu's confirmed answer.

Mr. Ma is definitely an alien in the eyes of others. He is obviously a general of the court, but he is willing to be a serf of Princess Pingyang. Even the tenants of the Li Xiu family, such as Boss Liu, say that Mr. Ma is a weird person. To put it bluntly, he is mentally abnormal. After all, who is willing to be a serf instead of being a general?

"Master Ma used to be without any worries, and even had nothing to do with love. He was grateful to the princess for saving her life, so he always willingly became a slave to take care of you. But now with He'er, the Ma family finally has a backing. Ma also wants to leave some titles, family property, etc. for He'er, so that she can continue the Ma family's incense in the future." Li Xiu smiled and said that Ma'er thoughts, and after saying that, he also looked at He'er who was playing games with Qi Niang. For this niece, Ma did seem to have changed his personality, and he looked more energetic.

"So that's the case, I should have thought of it long ago, but this is also a good thing. Uncle Ma made countless contributions to my Tang Dynasty. Not to mention anything else, if it weren't for his teaching and support, the Detachment of Women would not have appeared. Now it would not be difficult for him to escape from his slavery. I will go and do it immediately after I go back. In addition, Uncle Ma's title will also be re-rewarded by his father!"

Princess Pingyang became more and more excited as she spoke, but at the end, a look of loss suddenly appeared on her face, because she suddenly thought that since she was a child, she had become accustomed to Ma's care for her father, but now Ma's suddenly was leaving, which naturally made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Seeing the change of expression on Princess Pingyang's face, Li Xiu also guessed what she was thinking. He couldn't help but smile and comfort her: "Although Uncle Ma wants to leave his slave, he will not leave immediately. In addition, he also said that Hen'er would learn from me, so I think he would either continue to live in a villa or build a mansion near my house. No matter which one is, he will not be too far away from the princess, so don't be too sad, princess."

After Li Xiu pointed out his thoughts in his heart, Princess Pingyang couldn't help but smile embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I know I can't be too selfish. And I also found that since Uncle Ma saw Hen'er, she seemed to be reborn. She seemed to have been several years younger all of a sudden. I was very happy with him. But when I thought that Uncle Ma was leaving, I felt a little uncomfortable."

Hearing Princess Pingyang's words, Li Xiu wanted to hold her hand to comfort her, but the mother in the carriage was also in the carriage, which made Li Xiu give up this idea in the end. It was not that he did not dare, but because of respect for the mother in the air. After all, the relationship between him and Princess Pingyang has not been truly clear, so he can only comfort her with his eyes. Princess Pingyang also understood Li Xiu's painstaking efforts and immediately smiled at him.

After two days of itinerary, Li Xiu and his group finally returned to Chang'an again. The first thing Ma did when he came back was to take He'er to the prosperous Chang'an City and buy her all kinds of food and play. Qi Niang was lucky. As He'er's little playmate, she kept eating and drinking and drinking, and even pulled Xiao Ya up. As a result, Ma Ye turned into a daughter slave, taking three little girls to the city to sweep every day, and the smile on her face never stopped.

Seeing Ma Ye smiling every day, Li Xiu, Princess Pingyang and others felt very pleased. Princess Pingyang also immediately dismissed Ma Ye's slave family as soon as possible. The whole process was very simple. In fact, the princess went to the government to change Ma Ye's slave family to the nationality. Li Xiu was also very disgusted with the practice of dividing people into different levels in terms of household registration, but unfortunately he was unable to change it. After all, this is not something that a person can do. Even in later generations, household registration is also divided into agriculture and non-agricultural areas. When the government in the next generation is also working hard to change, but this huge social problem is probably more than ten years before it can be solved, let alone the Tang Dynasty.

However, Ma Ye took a few girls out every day. Li Xiu wanted to ask him about the promotion of corn and sweet potatoes in the court. He had no chance to do anything about sweet potatoes, but he thought it was noisy and it would be difficult to make a comeback for a while. Moreover, the number of seeds of corn and sweet potatoes was too different, so Li Yuan was not in a hurry to make a decision. He probably wanted to take this opportunity to allocate the benefits in the court.

Early in the morning that day, Ma Ye came to Qi Niang and the others to go out again. When Li Xiu got up, the person was gone, which made him a little angry because he wanted to give a lecture today, especially since He Er's foundation was so poor that he had to lay a solid foundation in advance, otherwise it would be too late at her age. It seems that he would have to have a good chat with Ma Ye tomorrow.

Since there was no class to attend, Li Xiu had other things to do. He wanted to chat with Niang Yi or go to Princess Pingyang with her, but he didn't expect Niang Yi and Yue Chan to chat with her in a mysterious manner. When he saw Li Xiu coming, he stopped immediately. When he asked them, they just smiled but didn't seem to want to tell Li Xiu. When Li Xiu turned around, they began to whisper again, which made Li Xiu helpless.

Too lazy to pay attention to the two women, Li Xiu simply picked up the fishing rod and left home. He went to the field to see the growth of corn and sweet potatoes, and then came to the river to fish. The hottest time in summer has passed, and now is the most suitable time for fishing. However, there are more mosquitoes. He discovered this problem last year, but he just wanted to find mosquito coils but couldn't find them. However, burning mugwort can also repel mosquitoes. Of course, if you have time in the future, Li Xiu also wants to get out the mosquito coils. Not to mention anything else, it can be more stable to sleep in the summer night.

About an hour later, Li Xiu had caught several big or small fish, but at this moment, he suddenly saw a riding horse on the road by the river. The person on the horse was Li Shimin who had not seen for a long time. He came here and flew out of the horse, holding a jar of wine in his hand, and then sat heavily beside Li Xiu, put the jar of wine in his mouth with a "bang" among the two and said, "Drink with me!"

"Are you wronged again? But you also know that I never drink alcohol." Li Xiu couldn't help but say helplessly when he saw Li Shimin's depressed expression. (To be continued.)
