"The old three, the entry is polysemous.
Entry 1: "The Old Three Articles" are three short essays written by the descendants of the Heavenly Demons, namely "In Memory of Bethune", "Serving the People", and "The Fool Moves the Mountain". From the "Compendium of Dragon Slayers" in the thirties and forties of the twentieth century......
Entry 2: "Lao San" refers to the three poems written by Mr. Yuan Yanqian in 1921 when he was seriously ill, because this is his earliest poem, so he himself calls himself "Lao San" ......
ββExcerpt from "SCP Encyclopedia: The Old Three"
"Brothers, do you still remember what Lao Yuan told us that night......
Under the excitement, Luo Puxiang's voice inevitably rose a little higher, so that Nomura Kichizaburo who was not far away listened to it really. His heart moved, and he immediately listened carefully.
"Squeak......
However, at this moment, the bedroom door opened from the inside, and out of the room came an old Daoketuo who looked like Daketo.
This old expert was the attending physician when Master Yuan was admitted to the Presbyterian Hospital in New York last time.
You must know that people generally do not go to the clinic. However, because Yuan Yanqi's identity is different now, this somewhat famous general practitioner came here to diagnose him in person.
Seeing the doctor come out, everyone present naturally gathered around and asked questions.
In this regard, the doctor, who has long been experienced, took off his mask, put on an old face, and shouted: "Be quiet, don't disturb the patient's rest!" β
"......" the big guy obediently shut his mouth.
I only heard the old doctor ask, "Who among you is Mr. Yuan's family?" β
The crowd looked at each other and saw that none of them were his family.
In the end, it was Mr. John McCall who raised his hand and said, "That Dao Ketuo, Mr. Yuan's family is all in China." But I'm Mr. Yuan's lawyer! β
"Alright, come in with me......," the old doctor nodded, not forgetting to instruct, "By the way, don't forget to bring a mask." β
"Bang dang!"
The two of them disappeared behind the door......
This time, it didn't take long for the two to walk out again. "Your Majesty the Emperor" closed the door with a gloomy face and asked Sister Lian to send the doctor out of the door.
And he himself took off his mask, coughed, and said to everyone in a sad voice: "We are all friends of Neo, so I will tell the truth." The doctor told me that he was in a very bad condition, probably only for a few days......"
"Woo woo woo ......"
Someone in the crowd couldn't help but sobbed quietly, and it was even more uncomfortable for the big guy to cry like this.
McCall also took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, then sniffed and said, "But Neo didn't want others to worry about him, and he decided not to announce his illness to the outside world." As I said, we're all friends with Neo, so we should ...... No, it's that his wishes must be granted......"
Someone else asked, "Can we meet him?" β
"I'm sorry...... the private lawyer sighed and spread his hands, "I think you should be able to understand that Neo is not in a position to see you right now, and that he has a virulent infectious disease. So ......"
"But we have something important to tell him, can you please have a few words with him."
Yamamoto Fifty-six didn't expect the seniors around him to say such things, and subconsciously wanted to stop him: "Nomura-kun......"
"Yamamoto-kun ......" but Nomura Kichizaburo glanced at him very covertly, and shook his head slightly.
As an excellent career diplomat, the future Japanese ambassador to the United States can make many foreign friends, and his ability to observe words and emotions is naturally his strength.
Since the apartment, Nomura Osa always felt that the atmosphere in the living room was a little wrong, and the expressions and tones of some guests were also a little wrong, so he had the idea of witnessing Yuan Yanqi's illness with his own eyes.
"Are you ......," asked Mr. McCall, naturally.
"We are diplomats of Japan and friends of Mr. Yuan. On behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of our country, we are here to extend an invitation to Mr. Yuen to meet him in London. "Diplomat, lies come casually.
"The crown prince of Japan ......" and "His Majesty the Emperor" always have a little common sense, knowing that Japan has an emperor and a crown prince.
He nodded and said, "Then I'll talk to Mr. Yuan, and it's up to him to decide whether you see you or not." β
"Thank you!" The two neon gold habitually came with a forty-five-degree bow......
"Nomura-kun cough cough cough...... Yamamoto-kun cough cough cough cough cough ...... I didn't expect you to come to see me...... Forgive me for being rude...... Can't get up and greet each other, cough, cough, cough cough ......"
Seeing Master Yuan, who was half-leaning on the bed softly and writing hard, the two "sea boys" knew that this person's time was really running out.
I saw that his face was exactly the kind of "pale, even blue-gray, almost like a dead man's face suffering from tuberculosis."
Just hearing him cough was heartbreaking, as if he was going to cough up his own internal organs. And the towel used to cover his mouth also had a blinding scarlet color, which should be coughed up blood.
But compared to his physical condition, what surprised the two of them even more was ......
The health was so poor, but the gentleman Seris apologized in fluent Japanese: "I'm sorry to cough cough...... I can't invite you to sit down...... You'd better stay away from me, ahem, ahem......"
The two neon gold looked at each other and noticed that each other's faces were very strange. Yamamoto Fifty-six couldn't help but ask, "Yuan Jun, your accent ......?"
"Hahaha...... Cough Cough" Master Yuan, who couldn't laugh, actually showed a smug smile on his face and said, "Yamamoto-kun cough cough...... I finally found a Japanese teacher...... I'm a pretty fast learner, ahem, ahem......."
"Two, my neon accent is pretty pure, cough cough cough cough ......"
Nomura and Yamamoto nodded involuntarily, and at the same time said in their hearts, your accent is so special, pure Kansai accent!
The accent thing is really very good to listen to. If you know the trick, you can tell the origin of this person with just one mouth.
For example, the disciples of the rich people in the South before the Civil War, because they were brought up by black nurses since childhood, inevitably brought a little black accent.
When they become adults, when they go to study in the North or even in the United Kingdom, they will try their best to change their accents, otherwise they will be ridiculed as "Southern hillbillies" by those around them.
For example, why tutors are popular in Western society these days? Part of the reason is that upper-middle-class parents don't want their children to speak with an inferior accent, but they don't have the time or energy to correct their children's accents.
So they specially hired tutors with a pure accent for their children.
For another example, the representative of the Wu dialect of Seris, Shanghainese, is even more intrigued by Blows.
Before the opening of Shanghai, it was the "old Shanghainese" of the Songjiang dialect, and later it was called the "local dialect".
After the opening of the port, the "New Shanghainese" dialect is a dialect that has evolved rapidly and uniquely in the modern history of Seris. This rate of evolution is so fast that the Shanghainese spoken by the previous generation is not very different from that spoken by the next generation, so age can be judged by a person's accent.
Of course, that was a subtlety that only the locals could discern, and the rate of evolution was not so fast since then, especially after the founding of the country...... Well, let's wait for our Master Yuan to return to the Great Demon Capital.
Back to the "pure Kansai dialect" Japanese that Yuan Yanqian is talking about now, it is also quite "Xingwei".
Some people say that the Kansai dialect is the language of a merchant and the Kanto dialect is the language of a samurai, so the former sounds more enthusiastic and comical than the latter.
In fact, Kansai mainly includes Osaka, Kyoto, Nara and other cities, and Kyoto and Nara were once the ancient capitals of Japan, so there are still many ancient Japanese languages and accents in the development of the language in this region.
Tokyo in Kanto became the capital of Japan only after the Meiji Restoration, and like the Great Demon Capital of Seris, the language developed relatively quickly in a relatively new city, and the Kanto dialect contains almost no ancient Japanese pronunciation.
When I look at it and listen to it again, the Kansai dialect is much higher than the Kanto dialect, and our Master Yuan naturally chose Kansai and abandoned Kanto.
"Ahem, cough, ahem......" Nomura Kichizaburo almost laughed, but laughing on such an occasion would be a big stain on his life for a Japanese samurai like him.
He covered his mouth and coughed vigorously a few times, but he couldn't help but ask, "Yuan Jun, may I ask what is the name of your Japanese teacher?" β
"Nomura-kun cough cough cough...... His name is cough cough cough ......"
"Hattori Heiji!"
