Chapter 183: Rigorous Learning
Mu Zhen, Hu Guoqing, and Mu Bao The first thing they did when they got home was to look through the dictionary, and what disappointed the three of them was these rare words, the dictionary didn't seem to buy the accounts of the three people, and they didn't find any of them, and the three of them looked at each other, I don't know what to do?
Mu Bao put his hands on his cheeks, blinked his eyes, and said as if he remembered something: "This word can't be found in the dictionary, no one knows it at all, just guess the pronunciation!"
"Isn't this fooling people?" Mu Zhen strongly objected, and then thought for a while: "If you don't know, you don't know, just say that there is no dictionary, there is no need to fill in the numbers, and besides, if this Uncle Zhao recognizes the truth, then aren't we looking ugly?"
Hu Guoqing looked at Mu Zhen's serious appearance, and just nodded silently.
"So, what's the solution?" Mu Bao muttered quietly.
"There is a way!" Hu Guoqing said as if he understood something.
As soon as the Mu Zhen brothers heard that there was a way, they immediately became excited like stimulants, and hurriedly said in unison: "Tell me and listen!"
"He must not be isolated in this word, specify which book he copied it from, find the sentence, and then follow it, even if he guesses the pronunciation, he can guess eight or nine without leaving ten!" Hu Guoqing's words did not make the Mu Zhen brothers happy, and neither of them immediately spoke.
Mu Zhen looked out the window, turned around and said: "The method you said is a way, but we will go to Uncle Zhao again, it is difficult to say whether we can find it immediately, and if it can really go down, he already has this ability, and he can know so many words, many of them are not inherited from the old three articles?
"I guess it's really like that, it's really hard for us to find the pronunciation of these words!" Hu Guoqing's answer made Mu Zhen very recognized.
"Let's take a look at our dad and see if he recognizes?" Mu Bao suggested.
"Okay, you go and find him!" Mu Zhen immediately agreed when he heard this proposal, and thought that Lao Tzu had his own ability, maybe he had a way to find the source of these words, and handed over the task of asking Lao Mu to Mu Bao.
Mu Zhen felt like she was embarrassed for her father to ask her father with a few rare words, and she was afraid that her father would not be embarrassed, so she could only hand over this task to Mu Bao to complete.
Mu Bao didn't think so much, directly according to Lao Zhao's writing, copied it on the paper, and then ran to find Lao Mu, Lao Mu was not in the hall, Mu Bao guessed that he must have gone to school, and he didn't have time to say hello to Mu Zhen and Hu Guoqing, so he went straight to the school, because there were no students in the school, quietly, Mu Bao ran directly to the office, after all, it was a child, and he pushed the door in without knocking on the door, and the teachers were writing something, hearing the sound of the door, they turned to the door with a brush, and saw Mu Bao rushing in, all showed surprised expressions.
"Didn't you go out with your brother, why did you come here?" asked Lao Mu directly.
"I'll ask how to read these words, I can't find them in the dictionary, so I'm here to ask you?" After speaking, Mu Bao, who ran forward, put the copied words in front of Lao Mu.
Lao Mu glanced at it, his brows furrowed, he didn't know anyone, but how could he say this, Lao Mu didn't say it immediately, but asked directly: "Since it's not in the dictionary, where did you see it?"
"Uncle Zhao from the pig farm asked us, we can't find it in the dictionary, so we asked!" Mu Bao hurriedly responded.
"It's this Lao Zhao again, how could he come across such a rare word?" Lao Mu seemed to say to himself.
The teachers in the office heard the conversation between the old Mu and the two people, and immediately became interested, and the east sentence and the west sentence talked about Lao Zhao's learning of words, which has long been like fermented news, and the whole village knows that many people question that he is so old and still learns to read and write, what is the use? Not to mention these rare words?
Lao Mu listened, did not answer, and suddenly had an idea in his thoughts, and said to Mu Bao: "Let your brother go to Ma Sanye's house to ask, he will definitely be able to recognize him." ”
When the other teachers heard this, they all said, "Good idea!"
Mu Bao looked at everyone, nodded, grabbed the paper that Lao Mu copied in front of him, and ran out of the office without looking back.
"Brother, I went to ask the teacher in the school just now, no one recognized, our father said let you ask Ma Sanye, he must recognize!" Mu Bao said as he gasped.
"Third Master Ma!" Mu Zhen repeated, he hadn't been to him for a long time, just to see the old scholar he admired, Mu Zhen thought of this, and said to Hu Guoqing and Mu Bao: "You two are waiting here, I'll go find Third Master Ma." ”
When Hu Guoqing heard that there were still people in the village who knew such rare words, he immediately said with great interest: "Such a powerful character, let us get to know it too!"
"Then you come with me, will Mu Bao go?" Mu Zhen looked at Mu Bao and asked.
"You two go, I don't want to see that 'ghost and sorrow'!" Mu Bao whispered.
"What the hell is sorrow?" Hu Guoqing repeated, and then asked, "What the hell is sorrow?"
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Ma Sanye usually doesn't talk to children, he is usually very serious, so many children in the village are afraid of him, in fact, he is good to me!" Mu Zhen hurriedly explained.
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you at home!" Mu Bao said as he picked up the homework book he was writing before going out, lowered his head and began to write seriously.
Mu Zhen took Hu Guoqing and hurriedly ran to the village, and when the two of them saw Ma Sanye, they found that Ma Sanye was boiling water around the stove.
"It's been a long time since I saw you, are you nervous about studying these days?" Ma Sanye didn't feel unfamiliar with Mu Zhen's arrival at all, as if an old friend who had "forgotten his year" had been reunited for a long time.
"Well, the third grandfather still understands me!" Mu Zhen replied in a low voice.
"What books are you going to borrow?" In Ma Sanye's impression, Mu Zhen couldn't find any other reason to find herself except for borrowing books.
"I'm not borrowing a book this time, but I want you to read a few words. Mu Zhen said, took out a piece of paper and handed it over.
When Ma Sanye heard that there were new words for him to see, he immediately picked up his reading glasses and put them on, looked at them carefully for a while, pointed to two of the words and said the pronunciation to Mu Zhen, and explained their meaning, and then said: "I will also check the dictionary for the rest." ”
Saying that, he stood up, pulled out the bookbox from under the bed, and found a yellowed thick book, the book was covered with a layer of kraft paper, and the paper was clearly written with a brush "Kangxi Dictionary", Ma Sanye turned it very seriously, and after a while, he pointed to one of the words, gave the pronunciation and explanation, and successively gave the pronunciation and explanation of the remaining words, and finally Mu Zhen found that these words were not actually variant words, but they had not been used for a long time, or ancient Chinese characters that were not commonly used in modern times.
Hu Guoqing, who was standing on the side, really saw the level of the "old pedant", these rare words, he could still recognize them, and from his seriousness in explaining and reading the dictionary, he seemed to be a meticulous gentleman, and he really praised and applauded the "old pedant" in front of him.
When Mu Zhen marked the paper on the paper according to the answer given by Ma Sanye, Mu Zhen briefly reported her study to Ma Sanye, and repeatedly expressed her gratitude to Ma Sanye, then pulled Hu Guoqing and retreated from Ma Sanye's house.
