0124 Punctuation

The whole book of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" began at the end of a certain year in the first year of Ning Zongqing in the Southern Song Dynasty.

After Zhongliang, who lived in seclusion in Niujia Village on the outskirts of Lin'an, Guo Xiaotian and Yang Tiexin's family suffered a catastrophe and were killed by the Southern Song Dynasty government in collusion with Wanyan Honglie, the prince of Jin, and Mrs. Guo's wife Li Ping and Mrs. Yang Bao Xiweak also disappeared, and the bad news came, Guo and Yang's friend Quanzhen Taoist Qiu was furious and chased and killed the murderers of Guo and Yang.

He was worried about his lost friends and family, and ran around in the Lin'an area to find out to no avail; Then because he was deceived by the traitor Duan Tiande, he clashed with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan in Jiaxing, and both were defeated. Afterwards, Qiu Chuji and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan saw through the conspiracy of the traitors, released the soldiers and made peace, but the competition did not distinguish the winner or loser, Qiu Chuji met with the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan to find people together, and went to rescue Yang Tiexin's wife Bao Xiweak, and the Seven Monsters of Jiangnan went to rescue Guo Xiaotian's wife Li Ping, and each raised the children of the two families as adults, and reunited in Jiaxing after 18 years, and the descendants of Guo Yang competed on behalf of the winners and losers. The seven strange righteousness of Jiangnan Bo Yuntian promised with emotion.

Xuan Yuemeng apprehensively handed the text she had written to Zhao Qingluo, who was still reading the outline and outline, "Take a look?" ”

He is not sure at all, the ghost knows what people in this era will think when they see the concept of martial arts novels, there are no martial arts novels in the late Qing Dynasty, even if there is a little budding genre appearing, it is by no means a very pure martial arts novel like Xuan Yuemeng.

Zhao Qingluo curled her lips, "I can't understand your outline, the detailed outline or something, that is, you can understand it, look at your word, no wonder people have objections to your qualifications for the government exam, this word is far worse than your eldest brother." ”

Xuan Yuemeng was greatly discouraged, and said what did Xuan Yuelei do? I was slightly jealous in my heart, "I wrote it casually, as long as I understand it, what is it so easy to write?" ”

Zhao Qingluo said seriously: "You must not think like this when writing. Every word, no matter what time it is, must be written seriously, otherwise when you want to write well, you won't be able to write well. ”

Xuan Yuemeng nodded, "Got it." Mr. Zhao, whenever I write in the future, I will write one stroke at a time, and take it seriously, okay? Hurry up and read my text first! ”

Zhao Qingluo rolled her eyes, took Xuan Yuemeng's manuscript, and frowned at the beginning, "This is the novel?" What the hell? Dali can write this kind of thing, right? How do you write the same way we usually talk? Why are there so many little things in between, and what are these? ”

Xuan Yue sweated. Explained: "These are punctuation marks, without punctuation, how hard to look at?" ”

In fact, there were already punctuation marks in the Tongzhi period, and the source was in Europe.

After the Opium War, new ideas were introduced, and Western punctuation also followed.

The first to introduce punctuation from abroad was Zhang Deyi, a student of Tongwenguan.

The Tongwenguan was established by the Qing government during the Westernization Movement to cultivate foreign language talents, and Zhang Deyi was one of the first batch of English students.

In February of the seventh year of Tongzhi (1868), Pu Anchen, a retired minister to China, led the "Chinese Mission" to visit Europe and the United States. Zhang Deyi also became one of the members of the group.

Zhang Deyi has a habit of no matter which country he goes to. They all like to record the local scenery, famous objects, customs and habits, and compile them into a booklet under the name of "Shuqi".

Between 1868 and 1869, he completed The Retelling of Strangeness. Among them, there is a paragraph that introduces Western punctuation, cloud: "The books of Taixi countries, their sentences are outlined and explained, and the explanation is very annoying.

Although Zhang Deyi is not consciously introducing punctuation to domestic intellectual circles. There is even a tone of opposition, feeling that these punctuation marks are cumbersome. However, in the process of unintentionally planting willows, it has brought a new wind to the development of Chinese and Chinese dialect symbols.

However, at this time, Zhang Deyi was still overseas, following Pu Anchen to travel around the world. Traitorous treaties are signed everywhere!

And at this time, even European punctuation marks are still very superficial, not as detailed as Xuan Yuemeng knows, so Xuan Yuemeng is definitely the originator of modern punctuation.

Xuan Yuemeng didn't know these things, and she didn't even know that she had unknowingly had an impact on world culture!

He just writes novels according to his own language habits, and he still needs Zhao Qingluo to help him revise it.

Zhao Qingluo nodded and commented softly: "These punctuation marks are very good, I just understood it the first time I read it, with these punctuation marks, the sentences are much more vivid, and you can annotate them at the beginning of the novel." I believe that those who watch it can accept it. Although what you wrote is a little crude, it is quite comfortable to look at, and it is not a matter of brains. ”

Xuan Yuemeng was pleasantly surprised that Zhao Qingluo could accept her sentence structure, and said with a smile: "Yes, then you hurry up and see what I wrote, do you have any questions?" See if you like it? ”

After a brief discussion of the use of punctuation, Zhao Qingluo continued to look at it, and the eyebrows stretched out, although Xuan Yuemeng wrote very white, as if she was talking normally, but there was a charm mixed in it, which made people feel very good when reading, the content of the whole chapter was easy to understand, the ideas were clear, and it made people feel comfortable and relaxed when reading.

Zhao Qingluo looked at Xuan Yuemeng in surprise: "This is what you wrote?" What the hell do you have in your head? You really are a child prodigy! ”

Xuan Yuemeng said triumphantly: "Did you know?" Fall in love with me? ”

Zhao Qingluo's face turned red, and she continued to widen her eyes, and read the chapter written by Xuan Yuemeng again, and she didn't bother to argue with Xuan Yuemeng.

Zhao Qingluo: "I can help you change it, can you write another chapter for me to see?" The Guo family and the Yang family, what happened later? Did the mound save their wife? Guo Xiaotian is dead, so is Yang Tiexin dead? ”

Xuan Yuemeng listened triumphantly to Zhao Qingluo asking this and that, knowing that she had already entered the play, and said with a smile: "Yes, if you let me kiss it, I will tell you." ”

Zhao Qingluo pinched Xuan Yuemeng's fleshy ears with two fingers, "Let you talk nonsense again." But as he spoke, he kissed Xuan Yuemeng's chubby face, "Well, is it okay now?" Tell me? ”

Xuan Yuemeng sweated profusely, I wanted to kiss you, not let you kiss me, "What's the use?" Now you're cool, I'm not happy! ”

When Zhao Qingluo heard the word Shuang, her face turned red, and she glanced at Xuan Yuemeng, "Don't talk about pulling down, stingy." ”

Because Xuan Yuemeng's writing was laborious and the person was still too young, he asked the maid to hurry up to the foreign bank to find a gentleman who was in charge of the accounts, and he dictated it, and the person recorded it on the side, and the account clerk was also stunned when he saw that the young master Meng could actually create a novel without a pause.

In this way, after Mr. Bookkeeper's account, and then by Zhao Qingluo's rhetoric, Xuan Yuemeng actually completed a manuscript of more than 40,000 words in one afternoon!

Although Xuan Yuemeng gave himself a certain confidence in Zhao Qingluo's performance, even girls in this era love to watch it, but he is not overly optimistic, because Zhao Qingluo cannot represent the main consumer force of this era!

The main consumer has to be a literate rich man, and he doesn't dare to guarantee that people like Xuan Hongtao and Zeng Jize will love it anyway.

As for Xuan Yuewen and Xuan Yuewu, he was not sure, let alone Xuan Yuelei!

These people are the main consumer force, they can buy it, they can understand it, but one of the four people is not sure, it should be said that one of the five people is not sure, such as Wang Zhankui and Dali, Dazhi, and Da Niu They must love to watch, but Wang Zhankui How many words do they know?

Xuan Yuemeng is not sure about the fact that he wants to occupy the newspaper industry by serializing novels, but there is only one way, and he can't think of any other way for the time being.

In the process of creation, Xuan Yuemeng is not blindly copying Lao Jin's things, he sympathizes with Yang Kang, and Yang Kang used to be just a face-painted character in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", but everyone was too impressed by the 83 version of the Condor Shooting Heroes, so they felt that Yang Kang was flesh and blood, in fact, the number of appearances of Yang Kang's character in the original "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was extremely limited.

Xuan Yuemeng increased the drama of Yang Kang and Mu Nianci, and also increased the drama of Princess Huazheng, so that Princess Huazheng worshipped the Golden Wheel Dharma King as a teacher, and got the Golden Wheel Dharma King out in advance.

Lao Jin must not have prepared to write a sequel to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" when he created the original "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", so in some places of ambush writing, Xuan Yuemeng also arranged some small stories in advance, plus the number of words he wrote about Aishui, and he insisted on adding some personal favorite passages, so that the "Legend of the Condor Heroes" with more than one million words and forty times has increased to two hundred times in Xuan Yuemeng's new syllabus! That's a full fivefold!

Xuan Yuemeng only took two days to complete the outline of the entire "Legend of the Condor Heroes", and on the third day, Zhao Qingluo also put the first chapter of the reworded "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" in front of Xuan Yuemeng.

Xuan Yuemeng took a closer look and said in surprise: "The writing is great, better than Lao Jin's writing!" ”

Zhao Qingluo wondered: "Who is Lao Jin?" ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled, "It's a not-so-famous author in the previous dynasty, don't worry about it, hurry up and let people take it and send it!" How's it going about him contacting the novelist? ”

Zhao Qingluo nodded, "Dali just came back and said, more than 100 semicolons have been dispatched, and the things we want to do to solicit essays and sign contracts with novelists have been sent out, and the response is good, there are already more than ten novelists who want to cooperate with us, there is money to make, who will not make money?" Those who write books are very poor. ”

Xuan Yuemeng smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is a good thing, it can not only enliven the literary world, but also increase the income of novelists, which is definitely beneficial to the cultural cause of the Qing Dynasty!" Let's go to press, let's start the shot! Let's take a look too! ”

Zhao Qingluo glanced at Xuan Yuemeng, "Let's talk about it later?" hasn't done it yet, so it's still a child. ”

Xuan Yuemeng, uh...... (To be continued.) )
