Chapter XXIV Timely Information

Jin Guangxian and Yoo Sung-myung talked while flipping through the books, unaware that their conversation was caught in the ears of Cui Xiuning in the tea room on the other side of the bookcase.

Cui Xiuning didn't dare to make any movement, and slowly sneaked under the bookcase, in case the two of them wandered into this tea room and found themselves.

"Brother Jin's clever plan, the younger brother admires." Liu Chengming flattered, and his tone changed again, "If this Li Luo is not too poorly dressed, just looking at his bearing, calligraphy, and proficient in Tubo language, it is really the foundation of everyone's children." What if what he said was true? ”

Jin Guangxian took a look and said disapprerovingly: "This kid must be lying." I thought before that the minister surnamed Li who often sent envoys to Mengyuan was only Li Zang with Xiangguo. But Lee Sang-kook has been dead for seven or eight years. Apart from him, there was no minister surnamed Li in the DPRK to envoy Dadu. If his uncle was referring to Li Zangyong, why did he fall so badly?

My Jin family and the Li family have been married for several generations, and there is no young child of the Li family that I don't know. Even the side branch disciples of the Li clan in Renzhou would never dress up like this. ”

Liu Chengming said: "This kid is also treacherous, and he doesn't say who his uncle is." However, is it possible that he belonged to the Li clan's 'Western Sect' or 'Eastern Sect' and came back from the Central Plains in the west or the Wa Kingdom in the east? ”

Jin Guangxian's eyes jumped, he actually ignored this. Is it possible that this Li Luo is from the Li family's 'Western Sect' or 'Eastern Sect'? If it is true, it may be Li Zangyong's nephew. His remark that 'the uncle often sent envoys to the capital' was not necessarily a lie.

About the 'Western Sect' and the 'Eastern Sect', it is only spread among the Goryeo clans, and the people at the bottom do not know about it.

A few decades ago, the Mongols invaded the east, killing a lot, and Goryeo was in danger of destroying the country. The clans were afraid of being slaughtered by the Northern Tartars, and in order to leave a way back for the continuation of the family, the lords of the various clans sent their descendants to the west into the Great Song Dynasty or to Japan in the east.

The children sent to the Great Song Dynasty were the 'Western Sect', and the children sent to Japan were the 'Eastern Sect'.

In recent years, the situation has gradually stabilized, and under the deference and submission of Goryeo, the Yuan Dynasty finally agreed to keep Goryeo Sheji. The most dangerous period passed, and the children of the 'Western Sect' and the 'Eastern Sect' sent by the various gate lords returned to their homeland one after another. But there are also some children who never returned, some died of illness in foreign countries, and some died of soldiers and bandits.

Take the Jin Guangxian family as an example, the 'Dongzong' who went to Japan back then did not come back, and there has been no news for many years, so he should have died in the Wa Kingdom.

Liu Chengming continued: "The 'Xizong' sent to the Song Kingdom by the Liu family in Zhenzhou has not returned to this day, and it is said that he was killed by the rebels. Brother Jin and the Inju Li family are in-laws, so they must be familiar with the story of the Li family. Back then, the Li family's 'Eastern Sect' and 'Western Sect' all returned to China and returned to their sects? ”

Jin Guangxian said: "I naturally know about the Li family. About thirty years ago, the Li family sent to the Great Song Dynasty was Neizi's cousin Li Jian, who was also Li Xiangguo's nephew, and was only seventeen or eighteen years old when he went abroad. ”

"Oh? Has this cousin of Mrs. Sister-in-law returned? Liu Chengming asked.

Jin Guangxian shook his head: "Not only did he not come back, but he also had no news." If Li Jian was unharmed, he was only in his forties now, and it stands to reason that he should have returned to China a long time ago. There were many house slaves who went with him back then, but none of them came back to report the news, so they should have died. ”

Liu Chengming said: "This Li Luo is only in his twenties, if Li Jian marries a wife and has children in the Central Plains, his son should be about the same age, right?" If this is the case, then isn't Lee Sang-kook his uncle? Li Xiangguo did often travel to the capital during his lifetime, isn't it all right? ”

Jin Guangxian said unhappily: "Although this speculation is reasonable, how can it be such a coincidence? Even if he is really a disciple of the Li family's 'Western Sect', what credentials does he have? Our gate valve children are born with the qualifications to be officials, are they so easy to pretend? ”

Liu Chengming said with a smile: "What Brother Jin said is that this is exactly the reason. Even if he is really Li Jian's son, we can make him not. ”

Jin Guangxian smiled, "How can the little lady be so poor and sour?" Ben Langjun vowed to get his hands on it, and it made sense to take pity on the fragrance and cherish the jade. ”

Cui Xiuning's hateful silver teeth clenched, and he really wanted to come out and clean up the golden light fiercely.

"Haha, Brother Jin is really a model of my generation, I can't do it." Of course, Liu Chengming knew what Jin Guangxian couldn't wait to deal with a little person, if it weren't for the current beauty, Jin Guangxian would not be too lazy to pay attention to people like Li Luo. If it weren't for the temporary blessing of Li Luo from the Chuandeng Temple, the corpse would have been cold at this time.

The two talked for a while, walked around several nearby prayer rooms, and even entered the scripture room where Cui Xiuning was hiding. If they knew that Cui Xiuning was also here, they didn't know how they would feel.

waited until the two left, Cui Xiuning came out from under the bookcase.

"Li Jian, Xizong, thirty years ago, seventeen or eighteen years old, has not returned so far, and there is no news." Cui Xiuning muttered, a sneer slowly appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"This information is really timely." Looking at the direction where Jin Guangxian and Liu Chengming left, Cui Xiuning's eyes gradually sharpened.

Is the prince of the family so arrogant?

As soon as the two left, Li Luo also came out. He was inside, and although he couldn't hear what the two were saying, he didn't say anything.

"What did they say?" Li Luo came out from the depths of the Scripture Pavilion. He was reading a book inside just now, and he only heard the voices of Jin Guangxian and Liu Chengming, and he estimated that Cui Xiuning should have heard it clearly.

Cui Xiuning whispered what he heard, and Li Luo understood.

This is indeed a very timely piece of information.

With this information, it should be all right!

It's not in vain tonight, and I'm here with Cui Xiuning.

After leaving the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, Li Luo sent Cui Xiuning to the door of the women's guest house.

Li Luo returned to his dormitory and lay down in the thick quilt. There was also a charcoal stove and sandalwood burning in the room. Warm and comfortable.

It's like a place where people should sleep! It has been more than ten days since I came to the Yuan Dynasty, and I slept so comfortably for the first time.

It was late at night, and there was still a faint sound of monks chanting and wooden fish in their evening classes. After a tiring day, Li Luo soon fell into a deep sleep.

In the dream, Li Luo became a marshal, with tens of thousands of troops under his command, he sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, and shouted: "Who is kneeling under the tent? ”

The pro-soldier reported: "It's Jin Guangxian and Liu Chengming, Liu Chengjun." ”

Li Dashuai said angrily: "It turned out to be these three bastards, pull them out and cut them!" ”

"Li Shuai spares his life!" The three of them wept bitterly and begged for mercy.

Li Dashuai waved his hand to stop the soldiers, "Slow! ”

The three of them were overjoyed: "The villain Xie Li Shuai is not killed......."

Li Dashuai laughed: "Castrate and cut again!" ”

Smiling and smiling, Li Luo woke up.

"It turned out to be a dream, like it was real." Li Luo sat up a little disappointed, "How hateful this is!" ”

I took out my watch and looked at it, it was past six o'clock.

"Bell..... The bell ..... "The temple morning class bell finally rang.

Li Luo paced out of the cottage room, and there was already a little novice offering hot water from the basin, a willow brush dipped in flour and salt water, and a plain white kudzu scarf.

"Don't dare to bother, just go down to it." Rejecting Xiao Shami's service, Li Luo brushed his teeth with an ancient toothbrush for the first time.

During this time, he and Cui Xiuning have been wiping their teeth with snow and salt, and at most sharpening a few toothpicks to help clean them. At this time, I was a little excited to finally use the "toothbrush".

Although the experience is really bad compared to toothbrushes and toothpaste, the cleaning effect does not seem to be bad.

"Master Li, this is a change of clothes ordered by Zhiketang." As soon as Li Luo finished washing, another novice sent a set of winter clothes.

The blue silk robe with a collar is made of exquisite materials, and the hibiscus is painted on it, which is thick but not bloated, and it is filled like cotton to the touch!

Cotton was not popular at this time, and it was considered a luxury. The filling materials used by ordinary people to keep warm are often kapok, or even reeds and straw.

This is a seemingly ordinary blue cotton robe, not gorgeous and exquisite, but it is definitely not something that ordinary people can afford to wear, and it is worth at least several dollars.

There is also a cashmere leather hat and a pair of calfskin shoes.

The three kinds of clothes, hats and shoes add up to ten yuan, which is worth the annual income of the villagers' families. This does not show how generous the Chuandeng Temple is, it can only show that the Chuandeng Temple is rich and rich.

"Wait for me to thank the master of Zhiketang." Li Luo didn't make a fuss, but put it on as a matter of course. These layman clothes were apparently prepared by the temple for lay pilgrims.

Zhiketang is so polite, on the one hand, of course, Master Zhihai has instructed preferential treatment. On the other hand, it was Li Luo who was too worn, which really hindered the view in the temple, so he simply gave him a set of clothes.

The little novice on the side also showed surprise at this time, this Li Shizhu changed into new clothes is really different! Although it was just an ordinary winter coat, he even wore the style of a son of a family.

Li Luo changed his clothes and walked out of the lay room to the lecture hall, and saw that there were more than 100 monks doing morning classes inside. The sound of bells, wooden fish, and chanting sounded all together.

Cui Xiuning was watching from the side, and she also changed into a white Goryeo "Chima" skirt robe, covered with woolen shoulders. Compared with the previous outfit, it looks more refined and radiant.

Seeing Li Luo, Cui Xiuning walked over to him as soon as possible.

Li Luo was suddenly a little worried, Chuandeng Temple sent two sets of winter clothes, would it be deducted from his pen fee? If the money is deducted, will it still be enough to pay the taxes by then?
