From Ancient Times to the Present Chapter 29: Western Xia Inscriptions

Hai Ruyu saw that Li Qingcang was serious, so he found a book of "Xia and Han Comparison of Western Xia Inscriptions".

Xixia stele: the Han stele is called "Liangzhou rebuild Huguo Temple Gantong Tower Inscription", Xixia tablet is called "Epigraph" of the Tongta Temple, the stele is divided into two sides, one side is written in Chinese characters, 26 lines, 70 words per line. One side is written in Tangut script. 28 lines of 56 words each. The Xixia Museum, which is now preserved in Wuwei, Gansu Province, is the only Chinese and Xixia inscription in China, and the most complete inscription.

Hai Ruyu turned the page to the content of the Tangut script, handed it to Li Qingcang's eyes, and said seriously to Li Qingcang: "You see that this is the Tangut script, and the back is the translation of Chinese characters, do you know it?" Don't brag, I don't like it! Li Qingcang looked at the Xixia text on the page, and said to Hai Ruyu with a smile: "Then if I didn't brag about it, you would like it, right?" ”

Hai Ruyu's cheeks flew out of a flush, spat him, and said, "Don't interrupt, recognize it quickly." ”

Li Qingcang saw that she was shy, so he stopped joking, skimmed the content of the article, and read: "The inscription of the Tongtao Temple, the inscription of the tower of the Liangzhou Tongaesthesia Temple of the Great Country of Baigao, and the deputy saint of the Zhengde Engineering Division of the Shiren Rites Division...... So the generals will take the lead, hundreds of work and efficiency skills, the one who is the one who is the one who is the ornament, the Dan wok, the gold and the blue, the sun and the moon shine, the look is as new, the beauty is like this, and the inscription can not be inscribed. ……”

As Li Qingcang suppressed his frustration and gushed words, Hai Ruyu kept turning the pages of the book against the translation of the Chinese characters behind, and the look of surprise on his face became heavier and heavier, and when Li Qingcang finished reading more than 1,000 Western Xia characters, there was not a single word wrong.

Hai Ruyu was excited, so she jumped up unconsciously, hugged Li Qingcang's neck, and kissed him fiercely on the face. Hanging his noodles low, he twisted the book with both hands.

Li Qingcang touched his cheeks, and there was still the fragrance of the beauty, and he was shy and silent when he saw Hai Ruyu. couldn't help but step forward and take her little hand and said: "I must have praised me for not bragging, didn't I, it seems that I can't be low-key in front of Xiao Yu'er in the future, and I still have to show my ability." ”

provoked Hai Ruyu to clench his pink fist and slammed it twice on him, only to reduce his shame slightly. After staring at Li Qingcang for a while, he asked, "What kind of training have you received, how come you even know the Western Xia script." As far as I know, there are not many people who know the Tangut script in China, but don't tell me it's instinct. ”

Li Qingcang couldn't help touching his nose in embarrassment, and said with a wry smile: "I was really right, I just know it, I don't know how it happened." ”

Hai Ruyu sighed: "I don't know how you fell?" You remember such complicated things, but you can't remember some of the easiest things to remember! In addition to martial arts, basketball, and Western Xia literature, what else do you know? Just tell me all at once, so that I don't have to be scared by you all the time! ”

Li Qingcang said helplessly: "Xiao Yu'er, I don't know why I am like this. This memory is not under my control, but don't worry, I will tell you what I remember, and it seems that I remember these things now. ”

Hai Ruyu listened to him and put the book in his hand back to its original place. took Li Qingcang's big hand and said: "Okay, I believe you, since you have this living dictionary, we don't want to buy books, my dad and they need your help for this trip to Ningxia." I took you to meet him, and last time he praised you for being like an ancient Shangyi and chivalrous man, and wanted to meet you. ”

As soon as Li Qingcang heard this, he said that this Hai Dad was really powerful, and his identity could be inferred from his daughter's description alone. Just as Xiao Yuer deduced that she had gone to a private school based on what she said about Mr. Teach, both father and daughter are extremely smart people, and it is not easy to be sloppy in front of his father.

So he said to Hai Ruyu: "It's too presumptuous to go to see your father like this, I haven't prepared at all." ”

Hai Ruyu thought about it too, and was happy to patronize it. It seems too fast to take Li Qingcang to see his father! However, Li Qingcang still has to tell his father about Xixiawen, presumably his father will be anxious to see him, and this meeting is more meaningful than academic exchanges. said to Li Qingcang: "What you said is also right, so be it, I'll go back and tell my dad first." When the time comes, he wants to see you, don't refuse! Li Qingcang also needs time to think about how to deal with Father Hai, to see if he can go with him to participate in this archaeological activity, and have the opportunity to go to Helan Mountain to take a turn and see if he can find the fairy treasure mentioned by the patriarch to solve the mystery in his heart. nodded to Hai Ruyu and said, "This is the best, you inform your uncle first, and it would be better for me to see him again." ”

Before he knew it, it was noon, and Li Qingcang asked, "Xiao Yu'er, let's go out to eat at noon." I invite you, where do you like to eat? ”

Hai Ruyu replied: "Just order it, just eat around here." I just went to school after eating. Li Qingcang wanted to find a better hotel, Hai Ruyu knew that he didn't have a job now, but he refused, he couldn't resist Xiao Yuer, and Li Qingcang had no choice but to let her.

So the two went to the bookstore and picked a restaurant that looked relatively clean and hygienic, and ordered a few dishes to eat.

After the meal, Li Qingcang sent Hai Ruyu to school, and then called Xiao Meng, asking them to wait at home, and discuss with them if there was something, so he walked to the residence and arrived at home. Tell the two younger brothers what happened today.

The two younger brothers were not surprised that Li Qingcang knew the Tangut script: the main thing was that there were too many things in the boss, martial arts, basketball, and historical knowledge, which in their hearts were simply omnipotent representatives, and secondly, what Tangut script was the same level as English for them, anyway, they didn't know each other, and it was not uncommon to know them. However, I became a little interested in seeing Hai Ruyu's father.

Xiao Meng said: "Boss, this is the future father-in-law, you have to leave a good impression when you meet for the first time." We're not afraid to spend money, so we'll buy some high-end gifts to bring with us. The leopard said, "Boss, you are so awesome. I'm going to see my father-in-law, and it seems that my sister-in-law in the future is more anxious than you. Hahaha....... Before he finished laughing, he was shocked by Li Qingcang's brain.

The leopard's painful laughter stopped, and he inhaled the cold air. I couldn't cry or laugh for a while. looked at Li Qingcang with an aggrieved face, and he didn't know why he was beaten.

Li Qingcang looked at the leopard, sighed and said: "What are you thinking about all day long, I have just said, the main reason for going to see Uncle Hai this time is that I know Xixiawen, and it is not the same thing as visiting Lord Taishan, Miss Hai's family education is quite strict, don't talk nonsense, and this time I am going to use this opportunity to go to Ningxia to have a look, do you two go with me?" ”

Although the leopard took a beat, he also knew that he had made the wrong joke, and it didn't matter if the boss could tease him twice, but the future sister-in-law could not afford to offend. immediately said: "Then it goes without saying, naturally I went with you, big brother." Xiao Meng also nodded in agreement. Seeing that both of them were ready to go to Ningxia with them. Li Qingcang discussed with the two the details of how to visit Hai Ruyu's father.

Here Hai Ruyu returned to school, called her father, asked him to wait for her in the office, and hurried to her father's office.

So he said mysteriously to his father: "Dad, I have done a great job today, guess what I helped you find today?" ”

Professor Hai looked up at his daughter, thinking that he had bought the book entrusted to her, and asked, "What is the great credit?" Did you buy all those books, good daughter, what reward did you say? ”

Hai Ruyu smiled and shook her head, indicating that it was not. Professor Hai wondered, "What did you find, you are so happy?" ”

Hai Ruyu said: "Don't believe what I said, today I actually found a person who knows the Western Xia script, and he knows all of them." ”

Professor Hai stared at his daughter for a long time when he heard this, and he must have thought it was a joke if someone else said this. As a professor of history, he naturally knew the rarity of people in China who knew the Tangut script, all of whom were experts and scholars, and these people did not dare to say that they could recognize the entire Tangut script.

But it's different when my daughter says this, because the little girl is not very good at lying, and her face will turn red as soon as she tells a lie. As a father, he can still see the authenticity of his daughter's speech, although he believes that his daughter will not lie to him, but he still has doubts and asks: "How do you know that he knows everything, and there are more than 6,000 Western Xia characters." How did you prove it? ”

Hai Ruyu recalled Li Qingcang's subdued voice, and said proudly: "I asked a friend to accompany me to buy books today, which are the ones you gave me, and when I arrived at the bookstore, I asked my friend to look at the title of the book and help me find it together." I didn't expect him to look at the study of Xixia culture, and then told me that he knew the Tangut script, of course I didn't believe it, so I found a book of "Xia and Han Comparison of Tangut Inscriptions" to test him, but I didn't expect him to read fluently in Chinese according to the side engraved with Tangut without hesitation. Unless he had memorized this inscription before, he would definitely know the Tangut script. ”

Professor Hai listened to his daughter's answer. frowned and asked, "It's only this possibility, your friend is a man and a woman, how old is he?" ”

Hai Ruyu had thought about how to introduce Li Qingcang before telling her father about it.

immediately told his father that this friend was the weirdo who helped him catch the bag snatcher last time, Professor Hai already had a good impression of the young man who was still righteous and chivalrous last time, and this time he heard that he still had such skills. He immediately said to his daughter, "Then can you contact that friend and ask him to come to me?" He helped you last time, and if he really knows the Tangut script this time, it will be of great help to our excavation work. ”

Hai Ruyu saw that her father was really anxious to see Li Qingcang. Then he said, "Okay, Dad, I'll call him and ask him if he has time?" Then he took out his mobile phone, ran outside the office, and began to dial Li Qingcang's phone.

Professor Hai saw that his daughter had to avoid him when she made a phone call, and he also understood eight or nine points in his heart. I can't help but speak Chinese to this daughter, and Shang Yi is a hero. And the young man who may be his son-in-law in the future is full of anticipation!
