Chapter 66: Heavy Treasure

(Second, come on, close the distance with the first, all the recommended votes, please!) )

Chen Ke's words are sincere, the so-called 'ashamed, ashamed and distressed' is also full of true feelings in his heart......

The idea of compiling a "dictionary" was squandered eight years ago, when he first came into contact with rhyme books. A person who is accustomed to pinyin phonetics, when he returns to the era of using reverse cut phonetics, must be uncomfortable and full of complaints.

The so-called reverse cut is to spell together the initials of one Chinese character and the finals of another Chinese character to phonetize another Chinese character. Naturally, after Chen Ke cut out the pronunciation of each word, he would easily mark it in pinyin for future use.

By the time he finished learning a copy of "Guangyun", he had also finished annotating all 26,194 characters. But when it comes to making a dictionary, this is only the first step. The next step is to rearrange the Chinese characters that were originally classified according to the five tones and two hundred and six rhymes according to the phonetic order...... Otherwise, it is not enough to reflect the advantages of pinyin phonetic method.

After completing this step, you will have to make a radical checklist so that you can assemble a usable dictionary. Before doing it, Chen Ke knew that this matter was complicated, but when he started to do it, he found that he still greatly underestimated the difficulty of this work. It is really difficult to estimate the amount of effort and time required to rearrange more than 20,000 Chinese characters in a phonetic order and then draw them in radical strokes.

Anyway, Chen Ke only lasted for more than a month, and then he fished for three days and dried the nets for two days, and he didn't finish half of it in a few years. Later, when I came to the academy to study, I was busy with my schoolwork, and it came to a standstill, and the date of completion was far away.

At this time, Su Xiaomei, who studied poetry with the eldest daughter of the mountain, came to him to borrow "Guangyun", took the book back and took a look, and Xiaomei found that it was full of strange symbols. And these symbols seem to contain some kind of pattern, and they are certainly not drawn and played.

If you don't understand, you naturally ask the third brother to understand. After learning that this is a Chinese character phonetic symbol, Xiaomei was very interested and asked Chen Ke to teach her. Chen Ke didn't cherish himself with a broom, so he gave it to him.

The little sister Lan Xinhui is really not ordinarily smart, and she learned the whole set of Wechsler phonetics in just one day. When I looked at the symbols on the rhyme book again, I suddenly felt that it was clear at a glance, like the blind man suddenly being able to see, without words could not read its sounds, and its euphoria was almost indescribable!

On the way to school the next day, the little sister who had not slept all night excitedly pestered Chen Ke and asked him, where did this magical method come from?

"It's as natural as medical skills," Chen Ke could only sloppy and laughed: "Maybe I'm really a genius." ”

"No, maybe, the third brother is a genius!" The little sister's eyes flashed with golden light and said: "Third brother's 'pinyin phonetic method', if everyone in the world learns it, the merit is comparable to Cangjie's character creation!" ”

"How can it be so exaggerated!" Chen Ke shook his head and laughed: "But I really thought about using this method to compile a "dictionary", but unfortunately I didn't have the patience, and I haven't finished it for a few years." ”

The little sister was very interested, and asked him how he planned to write it, and how many clouds he had written, and when he came home from school, she took his unfinished manuscript away.

At first, Chen Ke didn't care, thinking that she was also enthusiastic for a while, and gave up after a while. Who knew that seven or eight months later, I saw the first draft compiled by Xiaomei...... only to know that she has been studying and becoming a female celebrity, and has been diligent.

Xiaomei's method is very ingenious, she first spent two months, according to the radical and strokes to do a good job of the 'radical checklist', and then began to rearrange the words in phonical order, each row of a word, are numbered, marked in the corresponding word in the checklist. In this way, it is not too tiring to line up two or three hundred a day and fill in the form again. In less than half a year, the work that Chen Ke had been daunting was completed.

Chen Ke admired the five-body throw to the ground at that time, picked up the little sister and spun around several times, in his opinion, this is already excellent, and he can prepare Fu Zi. Xiaomei calmly pointed out: "There should also be a simple note, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced." ”

"Forget it, forget it," Chen Ke shook his head and said, "This arduous work should be left to those scholars." ”

Xiaomei disagreed, she thought that the most creative work had been completed, and all that was left was mechanical filling...... there were annotations for every word in "Guangyun", and it was just a matter of time...... If you don't do this yourself, won't someone else pick a peach?

In Xiaomei's view, dictionaries are not other books, and people only focus on practicality, and don't care who the idea comes from. Whoever compiles it well and practically will have a good dictionary, and all the credit and praise will fall to whoever it is.

The little sister's foresight allowed Chen Ke to avoid the tragedy of making wedding dresses for others. But mechanical work still takes a long time...... Fortunately, the delicate little sister left every word blank in the first draft, as long as she filled it in slowly.

At Chen Ke's insistence, the two of them took turns to fill in the form for one day and one day for me. When encountering obvious errors or unclear language in "Guangyun", it is necessary to refer to authoritative books such as "Erya" and "Commentary on the Thirteen Classics" for revision. The Su brothers and Song Duanping will also participate, not only giving advice, but also often writing for a few days, so that they can have time to rest.

Surprisingly, it took them two years to complete the annotation work in the winter of last year. The final inspection and revision, the little sister took it all in, she said that the girl is careful, and it is suitable for this to do.

The revision also took a long time, Chen Ke originally thought that it would take a year - but he didn't think that it was just three months, and Xiaomei put the final draft in front of him.

Thinking that in the past few months, because of the boredom caused by long-term battles, he almost ignored his little sister's work, Chen Ke felt ashamed, and his heart was full of pity for this female doll. But when the words of thanks came to his lips, they turned into reproaches: "How much less sleep and how much effort does this take?" No wonder it has been getting more and more clear this year, don't you want to die?! ”

"People are in a hurry...... "The little sister was waiting to praise, but who thought about it and was disciplined again. Suddenly burst into tears: "The third brother is not as good at poetry as my second brother, I think this "dictionary" can also help you get the appreciation of those dignitaries." ”

In an instant, a strong moving stalk was in Chen Ke's heart, shocking and warm.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Chen Ke finally understood that the little sister was anxious for herself. Her last sentence can be boiled down to two words - dry confession. has to start with the last imperial examination, Chen Xiliang was the first, but Su Xun fell again in the first place. Under several blows, Su Laoquan couldn't help but be disheartened and didn't want to enter the field again. After traveling abroad, he returned to Qingshen County and devoted all his enthusiasm to cultivating his two sons to become talents.

In his studies, Ersu is already better than blue, and he doesn't need to worry about it. Su Xun's energy was spent on paving the way for their imperial examinations, and the method he adopted was to visit high-ranking officials and celebrities.

The so-called worship means that the scholars actively visit the famous princes and show them their talents. Once you get a letter of recommendation from a big person, you can immediately make a name for yourself, and even before the imperial examination is held, you will be sure to be admitted.

Although since the first year of Qingli, all levels of imperial examinations have adopted the system of 'transcription of names', which has greatly curbed the trend of paying homage to the papers. However, paying homage to the famous prince Juqing is still an important way for lower-class scholars to enter the Shilin. Otherwise, even if he is full of economy and talent, he is only 'raised in the depths of the boudoir', and it is rare for people to know and recognize, and Su Laoquan itself is the best example.

On the other hand, those high-ranking officials and nobles often have the identity of 'Confucian Master Wenzong', and there are many 'scholars, sages and doctors' around them, and being able to travel with them often, under the influence of their ears and eyes, is naturally a shortcut for scholars to improve their studies.

Su Xun firmly believes that with the true talents of his sons, as long as he succeeds, he will be able to gain the appreciation of the famous prince, and then his reputation will be all over the world, and his studies will go further. So in the past two years, he has been paying homage everywhere, and he has really gained something...... According to him, he had become friends with the neighboring Yazhou Taishou Lei Jianfu, who promised that when the time was right, he would introduce higher-level officials on his behalf.

Chen Ke knew that Su Xun would definitely not leave him, so he was also making careful preparations...... It's just that I never expected that there was a girl who was silently anxious for herself and tried her best to plan for herself.

"Little sister, I really don't know how to thank you......" Chen Ke is a very hard-hearted person, but at this moment, he has to resist the urge to cry.

"No thanks." Although he was clumsy at the moment, the little sister could see that Chen Ke was moved, and felt that everything was worth it. She put her hands behind her back and said with relief: "It's nothing compared to the grace of saving lives." ”

"Little sister......" Chen Ke took a deep breath and said: "Don't do such stupid things in the future, if you are tired and sick, you must not let me die of guilt?" ”

"People don't want to be so tired," the little sister pouted beautifully, "But who made the third brother unable to write good poems?" ”

"Little sister, in fact, ......" Chen Ke groaned for a while, and decided to give her the bottom line: "You don't have to worry about this in the future, I actually have dry goods." ”

"Dry goods, what dry goods?"

"It's those verses that can brighten people's eyes." Chen Ke was not ashamed. "I'm hidden, you know?"

"Then why haven't you ever heard my brother sing a good sentence?" The little sister didn't believe it, so she smiled and said, "I have heard a lot of crooked poems." ”

"What's that......" Chen Ke scratched his head embarrassedly and said: "Good steel should be used on the blade, I'm afraid I won't have to use it in the future." "That's the truth.
