Du Shenfei and the calf rode their respective horses first, took Doloris and Alexia, bought a lot of food in the vegetable market, loaded them on horseback, jumped across the river and valley, and returned to the Valley of the Tiger and Wolf. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Nadoris and Alexia were caught up in the middle of the air and crossed the water, and were surprised to see the fierce beasts of the tiger and wolf valley rampant, and they were very dangerous.

Shi Luoyi was overjoyed when she saw the two of them coming back, and said, "I thought you couldn't rush home for the New Year? "I saw that Du Shenfei and the calf brought back two girls first, and they didn't look like Middle-earth. Shi Luoyi was taken aback and asked, "Child, where did you kidnap someone else's girl and come back?" ”

The calf said first: "Old lady, we picked them up on the road, no one wants them, hang them where to use as firewood." This is not surprising, my eldest brother and I have seen a lot of them in Guangzhou. ”

Shi Luoyi said: "The ghost believes in you? people can also be chosen, and they can also be used as firewood." ”

Du Shenfei said: "What the calf said is true. They were abducted and trafficked into the mountains of a small town, where they were hanged and ready to be burned to death. When I saw that they were pitiful, I rescued them and brought them back. They said that they came to our country to do business, but they didn't expect to be abducted by scammers. ”

Shi Luoyi smiled and said, "It's still my son who can explain clearly." He looked at the two girls again and said, "They don't seem to look bad, but their skin is white and black." After thinking about it for a while, he laughed happily and said, "That's right, the white one will be Shen Fei's daughter-in-law, and the black one will be the calf's daughter-in-law." There is no need to invite a matchmaker with three books and six courtesies, and it will save trouble. ”

The calf shook his head hurriedly and said, "Old lady, it's better for you to be your daughter-in-law." ”

Shi Luoyi smiled again, and asked Alexia first, "What's your name?"

Alexia chirped.

Du Shenfei said: "Mother, this one can't speak, and you can't understand what he says." ”

Shi Luoyi said: "It's a bit like a mute, so I can only gesture with her from now on." Then he asked Dororis, "What is your name, child?"

Doloris said word for word: "Auntie, my name is Dororis." Then he pointed at Alexia and said, "She is Alexia." ”

Shi Luoyi frowned, looked at Du Shenfei and said, "Ah, what is this name, so strange!"

Du Shenfei smiled: "Mother, I haven't remembered their names until now. ”

The calf said first: "Old lady, I call them Ah Hei and Ah Bai." ”

Shi Luoyi laughed and said: "A girl, called Ah Hei and Ah Bai, is too ugly. Let's give the two of them a name, the white one is called Baizhu, and the black one is called Heizhu, which is easy to remember and easy to call. ”

From then on, these two girls were called Bai Zhu and Black Zhu.

Shi Luo led the white beads and black beads to wash them clean, put on her own clothes, and they also fit. Shi Luoyi made another big table of meals to celebrate the import of Ding Ding at home, thinking that even her daughter-in-law had been found properly.

The calf came first to invite Wuwuzi and Xie Youlong to dinner. There are no children but they are not at home, only Xie Youlong came alone.

Everyone sat down, Xie Youlong saw Bai Zhu and Hei Zhu, and was taken aback and said, "Where did these two girls come from?" It seems to be a foreign character, not at all like my Middle-earth. ”

Shi Luoyi said: "These two children brought it back from somewhere close to Guangzhou, but this white bead can't speak yet." ”

Xie Youlong said: "I see, in the area of Guangnan East Road, foreign trade is very prosperous. "Huainanzi Human Training" said that far back in the Qin Dynasty, the reason why Qin Shi Huang had the strategy of Nanyue was to get the benefits of "Yue's rhino horn, ivory, jade, and pearl", so he sent 500,000 troops for the five armies, and stationed one army in the 'capital of Panyu'. ”

Du Shenfei asked, "Sir, how can there be so many foreigners in that place?"

Xie Youlong said: "It's just because it's close to the sea, which is convenient for trade. The "Old Tang Dynasty Book: The Biography of Hu Zheng" says that "Guangzhou has the benefits of the sea, and the goods are worth the sea"; the "Supplement to the History of the People's Republic of China" also records: "The South China Sea ships are also foreign ships." Every year to Annan Guangzhou. Shizi is the largest in the country, and the ladder is several feet up and down, all of which are treasures. It can be seen that the trade in Guangzhou was very prosperous. ”

The calf first asked, "Then why is it that foreigners have different skin from us?"

Xie Youlong said: "This is because of the genetic characteristics of different races. ”

The calf said first: "Were there foreigners in our country before?"

Xie Youlong said: "There must be." "Pingzhou Can Talk" recorded: "The rich people in Guangzhong, many animals and ghost slaves, are extremely powerful, and can bear hundreds of catties. Unable to understand the appetite for speech, the sex is pure and does not escape, and it is also called a savage. The color is black as ink, the lips are red and the teeth are white, the hair is curly and yellow, there are peonies, and they are born in the mountains abroad. Eating creatures, when it is harvested, it is fed with fire, and it is said to change the intestines. If you don't die, you can save it. For a long time, you can know what people say, but you can't say it. There is a kind of offshore savage, the eye is not derogatory when entering the water, and it is called Kunlun Nu. ’”

The calf smiled first, "Sir, I don't understand what you're saying. Can't foreigners speak?"

Xie Youlong smiled: "It's not that they can't speak, it's just that they have their own language, and they don't understand our language." It is also recorded in the Preface to the Commentary on the Vimala Sutra that in the Later Qin Dynasty, there was a translator of the scriptures, Kumaroshi, who was also a foreigner, and when he opened the altar to give a lecture, he 'held Sanskrit in his hand and translated it by mouth, and the Tao was pious and pious, and he repeated his words three times'. It can be seen that he is translating and preaching at the same time. ”

The calf asked first, "Sir, can you understand what Bai Zhu said?"

Xie Youlong said: "I don't understand either, just like Bai Zhu can't understand what we say." You have to find a professional translator to understand. ”

As soon as the calf heard Xie Youlong say the word "official", he said: "Sir, you know so many bird things, why don't you become an official?"

When Xie Youlong heard this, he suddenly lowered his head and stopped talking.

Du Shenfei was also very curious, so he asked: "Sir, you are very knowledgeable, you have studied the past and the present, why don't you go to the exam, the title of the gold list, and make a big difference?"

Xie Youlong sighed and said: "Little goldfish, calf, I have already passed the solution test, and I have already had this intention, so I went to Lin'an to participate in the spring test and show my ambitions." As the saying goes: Ye Cheng went to the spring early to make an appointment, so that the name of the sea is heard. It's a pity that he is poor, has no money and no savings, so he can't make the trip. ”

Du Shenfei asked, "Sir, how much silver do you need to go to Lin'an?"

Xie Youlong said: "Spend money along the way, up and down, and you still need to wait in the capital until the palace test." In this case, it will cost at least three hundred taels of silver. ”

When Du Shenfei heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "Sir, three hundred taels of silver is not a big deal, I happen to have money at home now." Don't know when to go?"

Xie Youlong was taken aback and said, "Little goldfish, where did you get so much money at such a young age?"

Du Shenfei said: "Mr. Bu said that I earned two hundred and fifty taels last time I begged for rain, and I also saved fifty or sixty taels by selling ice, and I still have some savings at home." This time, I won more than 100 taels in a lion dance competition in Guangzhou with my friends, and my friends didn't want it, so I took it back. Today, Zeng Wai in the city gave another 400 taels to our brother, and we received 200 taels from him. So, there is still some money at home. If you want to use it, just take it!"

Xie Youlong said: "I deeply feel your kindness, it's just your child's hard-earned money, how can I be embarrassed to spend it?"

Du Shenfei said: "Sir, you don't have to be polite. When I was young, I was able to grow up thanks to the kindness of my husband and the Taoist chief, who took care of our mother and son, and I am grateful for this. ”

Xie Youlong pondered for a while and said, "Little goldfish, thank you for your kindness, I still can't go." ”

Du Shenfei was surprised and said: "Sir, now that I have the money, how can I say that I still can't go?"

Xie Youlong said: "It's just that because of the recent wars, Yang Mi and others have revolted and occupied the nearby territory, and thieves are rampant along the way, and abduction is rampant, so it is difficult to get there." ”

Du Shenfei said: "I just don't know when the spring exam will start?"

Xie Youlong said: "Now it is a course every three years, and the three-day exams of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh days of the first month of February, and next year is the year of the big competition." If you pass the spring examination, you can participate in the palace examination of that year, and you can be released from office if you pass the palace examination. ”

Du Shenfei said: "That is, the ninth spring test in early February next year, you can set off after the New Year, hurry up, enter the capital quickly, and make a quick spring victory, so as to live up to what Mr. has learned." Since thieves are rampant, I and the calf escorted Mr. there, and I am not afraid of any soldiers and thieves along the way. ”

Xie Youlong was still groaning, and Shi Luoyi came over and said, "Sir, you can let Shen Fei and the calf escort you." ”

Xie Youlong said: "Then you are at home, how can you go to the city to purchase living necessities?"

Shi Luoyi said: "Sir, don't worry, I have to work hard for the Taoist chief again, the Taoist chief is a warm-hearted person, and he will definitely not shirk." Shen Fei and the calf brought white beads and black beads back to accompany me, you can rest assured. ”

Everyone has decided to discuss it, and they will only wait for the Spring Festival to go to Lin'an.
