Chapter 30: The Fox Is Born

Next, at the request of Zhihai, Li Luo wrote four more letters.

The first is a letter written in the name of Zhihai to Phags-pa, in the Tibetan language. Zhihai's narration, Li Luo's transcript. The letter is nothing more than an expression of admiration for Phag-pa, representing the goodwill of Goryeo Zen Buddhism to Tantra, and a list of gifts is attached.

The second letter was a letter of invitation to Phas-pa written in Li Luo's own name, also in Tubo. This is, of course, Zhihae's final temptation. If Li Luo was really a registered disciple of Phagsipa, he would definitely write this letter.

Li Luo raised his head and wrote: "My teacher, the Great Treasure Dharma King, the Supreme Living Buddha of the Buddha's teachings under the whole world, the Great Yuan Emperor's master is the Lord Ba Sipa, and the disciple Li Luo of Goryeo is respectful." ”

Now there is no saying of a living Buddha in Tantra, and Li Luo pressed on the body of Ba Si Pa in advance, which can be regarded as a full sycophant.

As for Phag-pa not knowing Li Luo, does that matter? A big man like Phags-pa knows a lot about him, and of course it is difficult for him to know everyone who knows him. Paspa would not have written specifically to tell Zhihai that Li Luo was not his disciple.

Li Luo then wrote: "I haven't seen my teacher for three years, and I still remember the treasure like Yuyin." It was given the top of the hill back then, and it is still unforgettable. Now the disciples have returned to Goryeo in the east, and my teacher has also returned to Sakya in the west. The east and west are thousands of miles apart, when will I listen to the teachings again..."This is actually playing with words, there are more people who have been pushed by Ba Si Pa, and there are also more people who have listened to his teachings, and it is normal for Ba Si Pa to not remember Li Luo.

Li Luo translated it to Zhihai, and Zhihai's last bit of suspicion disappeared.

Li Luo mentioned Zhihai again, which can be regarded as "introducing" Zhihai to Basipa and saying a few good words. Zhihai was even more satisfied when he heard it.

The third letter was addressed to Prince Zhenjin, which can be regarded as a "recommendation" for Zhihai. Because Zhenjin was proficient in Sinology, Li Luo used Chinese characters instead of the newly founded Mongolian script.

Li Luo is also playing with words: "Li Luo, a mere servant, bow to His Highness like a face." Panic and fear, I don't know what to say. ”

He also wrote: "Your Highness is wise and wise, sympathetic and humble, and Chana Yayan is heard in the world." Everyone knows that His Royal Highness, His Majesty is filial piety, treats brothers to the best, herdsmen are benevolent, and the ancient sages and princes are unreachable. However, the Imperial Court has every opportunity, and His Royal Highness cherishes the jade body..."

It's nothing more than sycophancy, not the point. The focus is on Li Luo's words. Prince Zhenjin admires Han culture and loves calligraphy. Li Luo's words may be pleasing.

Dong Qichang, who has been learning Li Luo's calligraphy, is already a little popular. Dong Qichang is a generation of grandmasters who collected calligraphy in later generations, and his characters are ancient and clumsy, elegant and simple, and his style is very high.

Li Luo has been practicing Dong characters for ten years, at least the writing is similar. In the past, he even faked Dong Qichang's calligraphy.

Just rush this word, the real golden prince will not be difficult for himself.

To put it bluntly, Prince Zhenjin and Ba Si Pa are both kind people with strength and structure, and they will not worry about Li Luo, so it is convenient for Li Luohu to fake the tiger. This is also the reason why Li Luo said that he knew Ba Si Pa and Prince Zhenjin.

Why didn't he dare to say that he knew the traitorous Ahama? Because Ahma is definitely not the kind of person who is easy to use, if Ahma receives Li Luo's letter, he will definitely find out what the accountant will do.

Zhihai was very satisfied with Li Luo's letter, and was full of praise for Li Luo's words. Zhihai himself is also proficient in calligraphy, so he naturally sees the beauty of Li Luo's calligraphy, although it is still lacking in charm, but it has the potential of a unique style. Among the young children, Zhihai has never seen such calligraphy.

It seems that when Li Luo was in the Central Plains, he not only had a rich family, but also had a famous teacher to guide him. Ordinary people can't even read words, can An write such calligraphy?

Then Zhihai also wrote a letter to Li Luo, which was a letter of recommendation to Jianghua County Shou Zheng Lu.

At this point, the two sides have reached a complete deal.

........

On the morning of the sixteenth day of the lunar month, Li Luo, who had finished translating and writing the "Great Nikkei", finally left Chuandeng Temple with Cui Xiuning.

The harvest this time, in addition to a letter of recommendation, is a silver bottle worth 3,000 yuan.

Going out far away, both of them are still a little excited. Three thousand!

Both of them carried dozens of pounds of burdens, but they didn't feel tired at all, because they contained nearly a hundred silver bottles.

Goryeo did not use silver taels, but silver bottles. The shape of the silver bottle is like a two-inch high gourd, and one weighs one catty, that is, sixteen taels. A silver bottle can be exchanged for thirty copper coins.

Because the amount is too large, ordinary people don't need it at all. It is only used by the wealthy class and large transactions.

A whole hundred silver bottles. Li Luo carried sixty, and Cui Xiuning carried forty. Along the way, no one knew that the two were carrying a large number of silver bottles.

"Li Luo, how much do you think my belt can sell?" Cui Xiuning couldn't help but ask as she walked.

Li Luo rolled his eyes, "Your belt is a stainless steel buckle worth a little money, and if you think it's platinum, it's estimated that it can be worth dozens of dollars." ”

Cui Xiuning is just a young policeman who has just graduated, and he uses a women's belt of several hundred yuan, cowhide, and light and fluttering small buckles, and the workmanship is average, not only is it not worth much, but it is also difficult to shoot.

Were the ancients really stupid? You can still see whether things are good or bad.

Walking twenty miles in the snow with dozens of pounds of things on their backs, both of them were very tired when they got home. Li Luo was going to start digging a hole in the ground to bury the silver bottle as soon as he entered the house, while Cui Xiuning was preparing to burn the fire pit.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, they saw the female fox coiled under the kang, and several fluffy little foxes arching it.

"It's born." Cui Xiuning said happily, "Three, one black, one white and one gray!" ”

"My eyes are open, and I should have been giving birth for two or three days." Li Luodao.

The she-fox looked at the two of them as if exhausted, her eyes full of pleading. The three little foxes beneath it were whimpering with hunger.

"It has nothing to eat, it's short of milk." Cui Xiuning understood.

When they left, the two hung the dog meat on the beams of the house, and the fox couldn't eat it at all, no matter how cunning they were.

Cui Xiuning took off the dog meat, Li Luo chopped a large piece of meat and threw it over, the female fox immediately devoured it, and the three little cubs also screamed even more.

When the fire pit burned again, Li Luo also buried the silver bottle, and the two of them ate barbecue and drank boiling water, which was completely down-to-earth.

With so much money all at once, you don't have to worry about survival anymore. It was Cui Xiuning, who had always been cold, her face was also flushed, and there was a happy smile at the corners of her eyes and eyebrows.

"Today is sixteenth, and there are four days left before the village is coming to collect taxes. We're going to get a silver bottle and exchange it for copper coins. Cui Xiuning said.

Li Luo nodded, "I'll go to the old Song store to exchange it in the afternoon." Buy some more food and go see Daddy Yan Duo and Big Brother Du Lie. ”

With 3,000 guan in hand, Li Luo is also considered a rich man. Thinking that Yan Duo and Du Lie might run out of food, I wanted to go and see it.

In the afternoon, when Song Shouye found Li Luo again, he almost couldn't recognize him. Li Luo was wearing a ragged jacket before, but now he is wearing a new blue robe of fine cloth, and his feet are leather, which looks even more magnificent, and the panicked Song Shouye hurriedly went out of the store to greet him.

is also an acquaintance, and Li Luo also entered the store unceremoniously.

The two chatted for a while, and Song Shouye carried the money bag on his back and came out with Li Luo, who was carrying the grain bag, to help send it back.

Li Luo exchanged a silver bottle for 30 yuan. I bought five more buckets of rice and spent the usual money. But there are still 29 pieces left, and it still weighs 100 catties. Song Shouye didn't help him deliver it, he was really hard to get.

The things were delivered, and Song Shouye left respectfully. He was now more and more in awe of Li Luo, and Li Luo completely suppressed him just by taking out a silver bottle.

Li Luo took out two pieces of money and buried the remaining 27 pieces. and Cui Xiuning each carried a bucket of rice, and then went to the big cemetery Du Lie's house.

The cemetery is also in Modongzhai, and Du Lie said that he lived there before, but Li Luo has never been there once.

Two or three miles away was a quick one. Originally, the cemetery was a deserted cemetery, but now it is divided into out-of-towners who have come here.

Li Luo asked a villager and learned that there are now eight families in the cemetery, and in addition to the three Jurchens, there are five Han families!

Du Lie's house was in the outermost part of the cemetery, a small and low yard, with all kinds of dried vegetables drying under the eaves at the door.

A teenage girl was wearing a jacket that exposed the reed flowers, stepping on the bench, and was fiddling with dried vegetables, she saw Li Luo and Cui Xiuning coming in, and her big black eyes suddenly rounded.

"This is Brother Du Lie's house?" Li Luo asked with a smile.

"You're looking for my dad?" The little girl immediately turned her head and shouted, "Daddy, there is a guest looking for you!" He smiled shyly at the two of them: "The guests go into the house to roast the fire!" "She has a yellow face and thin muscles, but she can still see that she looks like a Peugeot.

When she saw that the bag on the guest's back seemed to be filled with food, her eyes suddenly lit up slightly.

"It turned out to be Brother Li!" Du Lie came out with a smile. Li Luo could see at a glance that he was thinner, and his face was bloodless.
