Chapter 21 Grandma and the Female Character

clicked on the link of the website, and Wen Xun slowly looked at the various materials in the link. Gradually, he realized that this so-called "female script" was a kind of writing invented by rural women near Pingjiang County in Xiangxi Province. It seems that in the past, local women could not go to school, and they could not learn the "male characters" that only men could learn. So some of them were clever women who created their own characters, and by speaking "male characters" and rotating and transforming, they became a phonetic script similar to Japanese kana or Korean window script.

But I don't know why, seeing the name of Pingjiang County, Wen Xun felt as if he was very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

This so-called "female script" was not discovered by some scholars until the 80s! In the past, the female characters embroidered on handkerchiefs have always been used as decorative patterns by men.

Looking at the female text stickers on a certain philology professor's personal website, Wen Xun found a piece of paper and copied some of them. The female ethnic text on this photo is said to be the "Crying Wedding Song" written by a Xiangxi woman born in the late Qing Dynasty to her daughter, hoping that her daughter will be happy after marriage.

"What did you write about?" Lilac probed to Wen Xun's face, looked at the text he copied and asked.

With her probe, a fragrance slowly filled Wen Xun's nasal cavity. "Ahem, this, this is a female script." Wen Xun said a little absent-mindedly.

"Women's football text? Women's football has a text? After winning a World Cup runner-up, there's no need to create your own text, right? Lilac turned her head curiously and asked Wen Xun.

She turned her head and suddenly found that her face was very close to the face of Wen Wen, close enough to remind people of the word ambiguous, close enough to make Lilac herself blush a little. "Hey, you're blushing!" Lilac, who had subconsciously retreated, suddenly found Wen Xun blushing!

This made her realize something, this was the only weakness she could find in the near future! Wen Xun, a little hairy child, usually looks mature and steady, just like a middle-aged charming man in a child's skin. Whether it is the depth of thought or the familiarity with the world, it far surpasses Lilac, which makes Lilac simply begin to question whether she is born mentally retarded!

Fortunately, now I have discovered that Wen Xun also has weaknesses, and it turns out that there are habits that a teenager of this age should have, which makes her excited as if she has discovered a new continent!

"Oh yo, you little Wenxun, it turns out that you are not mature enough, I thought you were too sophisticated to blush." Lilac didn't care about her image at this time, as if she was a competitive 8-year-old girl, she flirted with Wen Xun, "Wait, I'll go get the camera, I must take a picture of your blushing face, hahaha......"

"Teacher Ding, don't ...... like this" Wen Xun felt that he had really lost to Teacher Ding at this time.

This day, the fairy teacher usually behaves like she doesn't eat the fireworks in the world, which makes people feel that they can only worship from afar, why is she crazy like an 8-year-old girl now? He really felt that he had seen the fairy teacher "transform" into a Teletubbies, and then he fell to the ground......

But even if Wen Xun complained like this, Lilac didn't listen to him. She found her camera in high spirits, picked it up and pointed it at Wen Xun, but she didn't shoot for a long time, and then saw her slowly raise her head from behind the camera and asked, "Wen Xun, why isn't your face red?" ”

This question really made it difficult for Wen Xun to answer, and he could only look at the Teletubbies helplessly and couldn't speak.

"I see!" Lilac suddenly thought of something, she immediately ran to Wen Xun's side in small steps, and then bent down, as if she was sticking her face to Wen Xun's sideburns. But who knew that before she could post it, Wen Xun immediately flashed to the side, then stood up and said to Lilac: "Teacher Ding, you have to respect yourself......"

"It's okay to have self-respect, don't run ......" Lilac can care about self-weight or not self-respect at this time, she only knows that she grabbed Wen Xun's pigtails, knows how to embarrass Wen Xun, knows where Wen Xun's weakness is, can she still let this go?

So she chased Wen Xun in a nightdress, on cartoon slippers, and with a camera in a cloak, and Wen Xun ran in front of her like Tang Seng who was hiding from the female goblin rubbing oil. This scene is like a female hooligan trying to violate the pure Zhengtai......

In the end, the pure Zhengtai Wenxun was still blocked in the corner by the evil female hooligan Lilac, and then was forced to take a blushing photo of the female hooligan's face......

When Wen Xun walked back to his home with the materials he copied out, he didn't know why, he always had a sense of shame that he was taken advantage of by Teacher Ding. Although he himself understands that he is a man, it stands to reason that he is not the one who suffers. This feeling as if he should feel shame made Wen Xun strange, he didn't know what his mood should be at this time.

But soon Wen Xun put this question aside, because he still had more important things to think about, that is, how to write this composition of "Snow Flower Secret Fan". What makes people feel uncomfortable now is that in his dreams, he only knows the topic of his future essay, but he doesn't know the content at all.

He didn't even know why he found this mysterious female character and then used it as a reason to write an essay.

At this time, Wen Xun's mother carried a bowl of egg fried rice into the children's bedroom. "Xun Yanzi, it's time to eat." As she spoke, she placed the egg fried rice on Wen Xun's table.

"What are you looking at," the old mother with a thick dialect accent asked her son in surprise after seeing the font copied by Wen Xun, "What are you doing here?" Want to learn female characters? Why are you studying this? ”

When Wen Xun heard the old lady's words, he was directly stunned. "Mom, do you know this is a female character?"

"Do you think I know? You are a male baby, what are you doing to learn this female character? Don't learn, learn bad luck! Wen Xun's mother said to her son with a cold face.

However, Wen Xun didn't care about the old lady's words, he immediately asked, "Mom, how do you know this female character?" ”

"I am from Xiangxi, and this female character has been passed down in my hometown for hundreds of years. It has always been a girl who learns this four-like thing because she can't go to school. Male babies can't learn, and if they learn, they have to become two-tailed! Wen Xun's mother said as a matter of course.

"No wonder I feel so familiar when I see Pingjiang Town in Xiangxi, my grandmother's house used to be Pingjiang? Later, I moved to Shuchuan! Wen Xun slapped his thigh and said when he heard this. No wonder I felt very familiar when I saw the information before.

After a long time, there is nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it! It turned out that his own mother who heard the news knew about this so-called female language, no wonder he would use this as one of the main lines of the article in the "future"!

"Then, Mom, can you tell me about this female character? Recently, there was a national essay contest for middle school students, and I wanted to participate in it, so I wanted to use this female character as a background. Wen Xun immediately pulled the tiger skin and said.

Sure enough, as Wen Xun expected, as soon as his mother heard that her son was going to participate in the National Middle School Student Essay Contest, and after confirming with her son several times, she happily began to support her son's study.

"This female character was originally the word used by the women of your grandmother's house with each other. If there is anything to say between concubines, mothers and daughters, and friends, they should write letters in female characters, so that they can also write letters to each other like men. When a woman has a low status, the family will not send the girl to school, so women can't learn Chinese characters that only men can learn......" Gradually, Wen Xun's mother began to introduce these things to her son.

It turned out that Wen Xun's grandmother was a native of Pingjiang County, Xiangxi, and married away from home before and after liberation. After giving birth to a daughter, I taught my daughter the so-called female characters by the way.

"But now there are no female characters handed down from the ancestors in the early years, during the ten years of the Great Revolution, in order to prevent the Red Guards from breaking the female characters as the four olds, your grandmother and I burned almost all the things that have female characters in the house...... Wen Xun's mother said a little regretfully.

"Grandma is quite prescient......" Although Wen Xun didn't know what the situation of the Red Guards was like in that era, he still felt that his grandmother seemed to be quite unpredictable.

"What do you think? Who is your grandmother? Luck is like something. Back then, she was first sold by her parents to the landlord's family as a child daughter-in-law, and later worked in the landlord's family for ten years, and when she was about to marry the landlord's son, the People's Liberation Army came over. Then the landlord's family was afraid, so he returned the deed of sale to your grandmother, recognized her as her goddaughter, gave her something, and respectfully sent her out of the house...... "Wen Xun's mother began to tell about her mother at this time.

Although these things don't seem to have anything to do with female characters, these are family secrets that Wen Xun hadn't heard of before, and he asked curiously: "In this way, I'm still a person with a vested interest in liberating the whole country!" If there is no **, grandma can't touch grandpa, then there is no you, and there will be no me! ”

"Hehe, you kid." Wen Xun's mother smiled and continued, "Your grandmother's luck is really good, she is about to get married, and she just happened to meet the People's Liberation Army." Then I went to the textile factory, and then your grandfather happened to come back from the war in Korea, and the two of them knew each other. Speaking of North Korea...... I remember that the man who was the eldest daughter of the landlord's family died because of the war......"

"What?" Wen Xun asked a little confused.

"It's the landlord of the family where your grandmother was a child daughter-in-law, and he has a daughter who is about the same age as your grandmother. The relationship was not bad, and a year before your grandmother was going to marry the landlord's son, she married the son of a local merchant. Then a year later, the People's Liberation Army came, and your grandmother went into the textile factory. As a result, the man of the landlord's daughter was a pharmaceutical factory, and it seemed that he was making fake medicine and selling it to the country to resist US aggression and aid Korea, and he was later caught and shot......"

"And what's going on?" As soon as he heard the secret of the family, Wen Xun seemed to have caught some inspiration. About that "Snowflake Fan", Lilac said it was a story about the fate and feelings of two women? Could it be that the prototype is his grandmother and the landlord's daughter?
