"What is punctuation?"

Her Royal Highness the Princess interjected.

Xue Lang had to explain what punctuation is and the role of punctuation. Her Royal Highness the Princess and Lady Liu were both studious and erudite people, and they were curious to hear it, so they directly brought a piece of paper and asked Xue Lang to write out the punctuation marks.

Princess Pingyang has seen people, and when she heard it, she understood the subtlety of it, and exclaimed: "If this punctuation mark is used to annotate the classics of the sages, it should be wonderful." If it is used for enlightenment, it is easy to get started on the way to learning. ”

"The general is wise, and the punctuation is mysterious."

Xue Lang found that every time he praised Her Royal Highness the Princess, Her Royal Highness looked at him with a smile that was not smiling, and he didn't look comfortable at all.

So, is it because his sycophant kung fu is too stinky? Sure enough, it is too difficult for an honest person to shoot on the back, so Xue Lang didn't light up this skill, so don't shoot it in the future.

Lady Liu saw that the two of them were finished talking, so she interjected and asked: "Master Xue, is it possible that in the Franco, articles and books are all written in the vernacular?" ”

"Yes, it's all in the vernacular, including the various lessons I have had since I was in elementary school. Only poetry and essays will be written in some more classic verses and literary articles. ”

"Then it seems that Xue Zhubo is also accustomed to writing articles in the vernacular?"

"That's right."

Xue Lang felt that it was better to take this opportunity to make it clear quickly, lest he be asked to write something in the future, which would be really embarrassing to be thrown more than a thousand years ago.

Xue Lang said calmly, and he didn't lie at all. Lady Liu sighed: "I see, no wonder Lord Xue's words and deeds are very different from ours. However, isn't it not elegant enough to use the vernacular? Isn't the pleasure of reading gone? ”

Another bug has been revealed!

Xue Lang wiped his sweat silently, although he was already paying attention, but he was just an ordinary person, he didn't have such a deep city government and concentration to hide himself, and always paid attention to his words and deeds.

Fortunately, he didn't make up any remnants who escaped the world in the mountains, and made up a background of growing up in a foreign country, otherwise, how to explain these words and deeds that are very different from the ancients!

Xue Lang silently praised his wit. I listened to Lady Liu's words: "The article is written in the vernacular, and I want to follow an easy-to-understand way." It's not difficult to understand this, but I don't know how the poetry and songs are? Also written in the vernacular? ”

"Of course. I learned all the vernacular, and I didn't learn to rhyme when I was a child, and when I wrote poetry, I naturally used vernacular Chinese, and I didn't pay attention to rhyme. ”

Lady Liu was puzzled: "If you don't pay attention to plainness and rhyme, can An be able to call poetry?" ”

This is obviously a disdain for the vernacular, and it is obviously a prejudice. Lady Liu's exclamation was obviously the same as that of those supporters of classical Chinese when the vernacular movement first became popular.

After the business is done, being idle is also idle, Xue Lang doesn't mind talking to her to correct her prejudice: "Lady Liu's words are wrong. Aren't vernacular and classical Chinese all words and sentences? It's just that the way of expression is different, and a good article will not be worse because of the difference between classical Chinese and vernacular. Take the "Book of Songs" compiled by Sage Confucius as an example, isn't it also a collection of songs and ballads from all over the world? The standard for finding female officials Liu, can the "Book of Songs" be elegant? ”

After saying something, Lady Liu was speechless, but she was obviously not convinced.

Well, then convince her to speak!

Xue Lang looked at Female Officer Liu, like her, she admired the type of talented woman who was reading and erudite, presumably those literary sentences would be a little lethal...... Pregnant! For literary and artistic young women, there are a lot of lethal MAX sentences!

Xue Lang memorized a lot in the second phase of middle school, and now I still remember it!

So, Xue Lang said: "Please watch this paragraph!" ”

Grab the paper, brush it and start writing—

If there is an afterlife, be a bird and fly through eternity, without the distress of being lost. There is a fiery hope in the east, a warm nest bed in the south, a remnant sun in the west, and a fragrance awakened in the north. If there is an afterlife, I hope that every time we meet, it will be transformed into eternity.

"This sentence ......"

Lady Liu was stunned, Princess Pingyang saw this, took it and looked at it, and commented: "This sentence also has a bit of meaning, although it is straightforward, but it also has a bit of artistic conception." ”

Xue Lang didn't answer, but continued to copy-

From tomorrow onwards, be a happy person

Feed the horses, chop wood, and travel the world

From tomorrow, care about food and vegetables

……

The night gave me black eyes, but I used them to find the light

……

The night gave me black eyes, and I used them to roll my eyes

……

Writing this, Lady Liu couldn't help but sneer, and even Her Royal Highness the Princess, who was watching the excitement on the sidelines, couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that Lady Liu seemed to be convinced, Xue Lang put down her pen and made a summary statement: "Therefore, words are the voice of the heart, and the intention is outside the poem." In ancient times and today, it is common in literary creation, regardless of literary language or vernacular. A good article is a good article, and there will be no distinction between high and low because of whether it is in the literary language or vernacular. ”

Lady Liu couldn't help but pout: "The slave family just said a few words, but it provoked Master Xue Bo to make such a long speech, Master Xue is like this, where is there still half a man's bearing!" ”

Xue Lang couldn't help but roll his eyes, and complained directly: "Hey, Lady Liu, when you provoked a bickering, you didn't say that bickering should be divided into men and women!" If you can't say that people start to divide men and women, you are so double standard, what about discipline? What about the festival? What about the festival? ”

Princess Pingyang laughed, and the female official Bai Xue Lang glanced at her: "It's just a joke with Xue Zhubo, how can you make Xue Zhubo so excited that he is incoherent and verbose?" ”

"I'm just saying important things three times."

Xue Lang couldn't help but feel a little depressed. The loneliest thing in life is that you obviously played a stalk that everyone knows, but not only does no one understand, but you are also chased and asked what it means.

The so-called three-year generation gap, the difference between the Tang Dynasty and the modern era is more than 1,000 years, and the generation gap is enough to solve a mathematical problem. It's an indescribable thing.

Probably because his mood changed too obviously, Her Royal Highness the princess patted Lady Liu and comforted: "Wen is the voice of the heart, you can know your heart and your will, you don't need to distinguish between high and low, it's just that your personal habits are different." ”

Her Royal Highness the princess is an understanding person, but she is also a little more serious, and it will be boring if she meets such a person, and she misses the joy when she was mixed in the forum and talked with people.

"But ......"

Princess Pingyang paused, attracting the attention of Lady Liu and Xue Lang before she said: "Xue Youyang Xue Master Bo is so clumsy in paperwork, this palace is the peak, I don't want to lack Youyang's special talent, so I have to cover up for Xue Zhubo." ”

Feed! Your Highness, is it really good that you bury your subordinates like this? Xue Lang was speechless.

Although Princess Pingyang didn't have an obvious smile, she could see that she didn't mind Xue Lang's illiteracy in classical Chinese: "In this case, the clerk will bother Ah Liu to help Youyang deal with it." ”

As the saying goes, men and women are matched to work without getting tired. Although Xue Lang didn't have any other thoughts, someone helped him deal with the headache paperwork, this person is still a pleasing beauty, and it feels very good.

Just like the face control of Her Royal Highness the Princess, it is better to be surrounded by good-looking people than to be surrounded by a bunch of ugly people. Everyone has a love of beauty. Xue Lang felt that he somewhat understood why Her Royal Highness the princess was Yan controlled.
