"Uncle Chu."
"Chu Langjun~."
After Zhu Yuanzhang and Li Shimin left, Mrs. Li from the Song Dynasty and Miss Shunchao Lin stood up and walked briskly in front of him.
Chu Zhen took a look and saw that Lin Daiyu had taken off his clothes, and her slender and thin body was wearing her thin pajamas, exposing her wrists and neck, and her skin was as white as jade.
Wearing white socks on a pair of very small feet, wearing his slippers.
"What is Uncle Chu looking at!?"
Lin Daiyu hid behind Li Qingzhao, her tone a bit shy and resentful: "I didn't bind my feet!"
"I just took a look."
Chu Zhen smiled and said, "You guys sit down first. Oh, I haven't eaten the snacks that Mrs. Li sent me yet. Miss Lin, you can also take them and taste them. After all, they are food from the Song Dynasty and cannot be eaten normally."
"I won't sit in the chair they just sat on."
Lin Daiyu refused in disgust, and then said: "I'll stand with Sister Qingzhao for a while, and Uncle Chu can talk about it."
Seeing that Li Qingzhao had no intention of sitting down, Chu Zhen said nothing more and opened the bamboo box she brought again.
Lin Daiyu looked at it and asked curiously: "Sister, what are the flavors of the sugar-faced people in the Song Dynasty?"
When her father came back from outside, he would bring her some snacks sold on the street from time to time, and she also ate the little people made of sugar.
“Eat one and you’ll know!”
Chu Zhen pushed the bamboo box towards them.
Li Qingzhao smiled and picked up the bamboo box and handed it to Sister Lin. Daiyu was not polite, picked up a sugar-coated monkey with a bamboo stick, covered her mouth with her sleeve, and tasted it like a lady.
"How is it?" Li Qingzhao asked expectantly.
"It's so sweet, it tastes like soft cake." Lin Daiyu ate happily, her eyebrows narrowing.
"I'll have a taste too."
Chu Zhen stretched out his hand towards Li Qingzhao, who handed the food box over with a smile and asked him to take a piece.
Chu Zhen took a piece of cake and took a bite. His mouth was immediately filled with the fragrance of flowers.
"This is a snack made from seasonal flowers. I bought it from an old lady outside Daxiangguo Temple. She said it contains apricot flowers."
Li Qingzhao explained.
"Outside the Daxiangguo Temple?"
"Didn't Chu Langjun read "Tokyo Dreams"? Why don't you read what Nu Jia wrote."
Li Qingzhao smiled slightly and pointed to the roll of paper on his desk. It was the article she wrote in the study before going to bed at night after visiting Bianjing City for a day.
She looked at Chu Zhen expectantly.
After seeing Chu Zhen pick up the paper, open it and spread it on the table, she became even more nervous in anticipation - Lin Daiyu saw it, so she also leaned over to take a look.
""Travel Notes on Bianjing City""
Chu Zhen read out the title of her article with a smile, "It's really simple and unpretentious, and you use my writing method?"
Chu Zhen raised his head and looked at Li Qingzhao.
In this article, Li Qingzhao writes from left to right and top to bottom.
And she added punctuation!
It is exactly the way modern people write, except that the articles are written in classical Chinese.
"The article is written for Mr. Chu." The girl's pretty face had a slight blush. "The slave family tried to follow Mr. Chu's reading habits and used these two sentences to separate the article."
Her slender white fingers hooked in the air, drawing pauses and periods.
Chu Zhen laughed dumbly, and while reading her article, he said: "The writing method doesn't matter, but the lack of punctuation marks is too uncomfortable for us modern people.
Moreover, punctuation marks also help separate sentences, eliminate ambiguity, and make it clear to readers. "
"It's really useful." Li Qingzhao agreed. Although she read the article smoothly and without obstruction, as Chu Zhen said, adding punctuation marks can make the article clear at a glance.
Most of the books in the Song Dynasty did not have sentence reading numbers, but some books added them, but the symbols were different from Chu Langjun's, and each family used their own, either dots, verticals, or circles, and there was no unified style.
"I'll try it tomorrow too." Lin Daiyu smiled.
Chu Zhen glanced at her. Sister Lin was standing next to him, still holding the candy man in her hand, licking it with her pink tongue, and reading Li Qingzhao's article with him.
after a little while.
"Sister Qingzhao is so talented!" Lin Daiyu praised and smiled at Li Qingzhao.
Li Qingzhao laughed playfully, took out a piece of snack and stuffed it into her mouth.
The two girls played around for a while.
Lin Daiyu went to get some fruit again and shared it with Li Qingzhao.
The two wiped their hands and faces with tissues.
Then he went to the bookshelf, curiously took a look at the books on it, and whispered about them.
A long time.
"finish watching!"
Chu Zhen finally breathed a sigh of relief!
The two girls looked at each other and could see the smile in each other's eyes.
They put the books back and came back.
"Chu Langjun, how about the article written by slave...?!"
For some reason, after watching Chu Zhen for so long, Li Qingzhao suddenly lost his expectations.
She has already guessed the result!
"how to say……"
Chu Zhen rubbed his temples and smiled at the two of them: "After reading your article, it is no less than taking a hundred Chinese language test papers!"
"Chinese test paper?" x2
"It's our exam here. There are questions on the translation of classical Chinese in the Chinese language test paper. We need to translate classical Chinese into vernacular."
"What is classical Chinese?" Li Qingzhao asked again.
"This is the article you wrote, and the literary talent in it is classical Chinese."
"……ah?"
Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu were all stunned.
Is this also a test?
Will all exams in later generations be this simple?
"Later generations also wrote articles in spoken language, which is called vernacular."
Chu Zhen pointed to Li Qingzhao's article and said with a smile: "So I read the article you wrote and it felt good, but for me, there are a lot of unfamiliar words in it, and there are many allusions that I can't understand. .
To be honest, I only understood four allusions in it. "
Lin Daiyu was surprised and said: "Sister Qingzhao used more than a hundred allusions in this long article."
"Sister Lin, stop talking!"
Li Qingzhao covered his blushing face with his white palms, turned sideways, his head tilted, and his black silk hair hanging down.
She originally wrote this article for Chu Langjun to read, but in the end, Chu Langjun only understood the four allusions used in her article.
She is like playing the piano to a cow, bah, no, she is a person who relies on her talent to talk nonsense.
Is Mr. Chu Langjun an ignorant and incompetent person?
He has a pile of books on his bookshelf, and he is also a bachelor. He has learned more than she does. Chu Langjun didn't show it off, so why should she show off?
Shame on you!
"More than a hundred codes?"
Chu Zhen was also surprised.
Seeing that he was imitating her, Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled, with crooked eyebrows: "Which four allusions did Uncle Chu recognize? Tell them so that Sister Qingzhao will know and teach you the other allusions in person~"
Li Qingzhao pinched her waist, but Daiyu dodged with a smile.
Girls playing and playing are the most beautiful. Li Qingzhao is slim and graceful, with a tall and slender figure. Lin Daiyu is naturally beautiful and has a unique charm in every frown and smile. Especially her eyes that seem to be filled with water drops, which can make people's bones melt with just one glance. .
After arguing for a while, they seemed to notice Chu Zhen's presence. They quickly stopped and turned sideways to straighten their appearance with blushing cheeks.
Chu Zhen smiled and said: "Of the four allusions I have seen, one is from the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion, The Lonely Bird in the Falling Clouds."
Li Qingzhao nodded shyly, "Prince Shijie's poem in Prince Teng's Pavilion has been illuminated for thousands of years. Even Chu Langjun has learned it."
Lin Daiyu laughed and covered half of her face with a fan.
Chu Zhen was slow for a moment before he realized that Mrs. Li's words contained some grievances:
I have used so many allusions, but you only know four?
"anything else?"
Li Qingzhao asked.
Chu Zhen didn't know the allusion, but for some reason, it made her feel happy.
"There is also this sentence, which comes from Li Yu's "Looking to the South of the Yangtze River". It still feels like swimming in Shangyuan in the old days, with cars like flowing water and horses like dragons."
Chu Zhen pointed and read out confidently.
After all, he is the Ci Emperor Li Yu.
Li Qingzhao took a look and had a strange expression on his face: "How can the busy traffic be a reference to Empress Li? He also borrowed the word 'busy and busy' from the "Book of Han" compiled by the historian Ban Gu."
"ah?"
Chu Zhen was surprised again.
Lin Daiyu held Li Qingzhao's shoulders, burying her little face in the back of her hands and giggling.
Chu Zhen wanted to twist her ears.
Li Qingzhao laughed for a while and then asked curiously: "What books does Chu Langjun read on weekdays? What articles do he study?"
To her, Chu Zhen didn't look like a rough man, but his literary talent was really poor.
"me?"
"Well, Chu Langjun studied managing the world and the country?"
"no."
Chu Zhen smiled and said: "I studied "Advanced Mathematics", C language, object-oriented programming, computer graphics, web design, multimedia..."
After just taking some courses from his university, Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu were already stunned.
They couldn't understand it at all!
