Chapter 68: The Teacher's Table

(Ask for a ticket to prevent being blown up!) )

A few more days later, after lunch.

Chen Ke took the half of the "Dictionary" manuscript that he had copied and found Wang Fang.

Wang Fang heard a few years ago that they were tinkering with the 'dictionary' of Rauschzi. What is the 'classic', the big book! It can be used as a standard book also!

Even the great Confucian masters, do not dare to use this "dictionary" word easily, a few and a half children are not ashamed, saying what to do "dictionary", which makes him cry and laugh, really help the guy who doesn't know the height of the sky!

But a few dolls can persist for several years, and Wang Fang appreciates this perseverance. At this moment, seeing that they have finally completed the draft, they have already made a calculation in their hearts, even if the content is ridiculous, they must focus on praise. Who knows if one of these children will make up a real "dictionary" in the next few decades?

With an elegant smile, Wang Fang briefly flipped through it first, the entries were all old tunes, nothing unusual, but the order of the voice was the first time I saw it; The first list is also the first to see...... Looking at the neat and meticulous classification and dazzling numbering, Wang Fang secretly said, how many years of hard work does it take to sort out these words?

In view of this seriousness, his expression became serious, and he asked: "What you said in the ordinary case, the phonetic symbols of Chinese characters, are these ancient characters?" ”

"Yes." Chen Ke did not use the Latin alphabet for pinyin, but used phonetic symbols such as 'ㄕㄘㄨㄜㄛㄗㄐ'...... This is the longest-used Chinese pinyin in later generations, and the two are just different in appearance, and there is no difference in essence.

And the phonetic symbols are all derived from ancient characters, and it is easier to fool readers.

So, Chen Ke started from the most basic pronunciation and explained the pinyin phonetic method for Wang Fang. At first, Old Master Wang just thought it was interesting, but when he listened to it, his face became solemn, and he was not allowed to go to class...... This well-educated Confucian soon understood that Chen Ke's method was still the traditional 'sound, rhyme, and tone' in principle, but the reverse cut method was greatly simplified...... However, it makes it much easier to learn phonology. It worked, but no one ever thought of it.

From then on, phonology will no longer be a maddening advanced science, but will become a basic knowledge for students to get started...... He even thought that maybe the whole world would be changed by this little "dictionary"!

"The road is simple!" After a long time, Wang Fang sighed with infinite emotion: "It can be called a classic!" After that, he straightened his clothes, and actually leaned over to Chen Ke and bowed solemnly: "The old man is a scholar in the world, and he is a scholar in the world, and Xie Sanlang is in charge of Li Shu in the world!" ”

"Teacher," Chen Ke hurriedly leaned over and said, "Kill the student......"

"This worship is a little bit, but I don't know how many people will come to thank you in the future." After straightening up, Wang Fang smiled and said: "I have long known that you are not ordinary, but you have not shown mountain dew for several years, it turns out that you have not been singing for three years, and it is amazing!" ”

Chen Ke couldn't help but be embarrassed, and said in his heart, it was all the credit of the little sister.

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

"Have you finished this dictionary?" Wang Fang slowly turned the page.

"It's done." Chen Ke said: "The second half has not been copied yet. In fact, it is indispensable to guard against others, even if he has always admired the old master Wang, he can't give him all the manuscripts at once.

"Hmm," Wang Fang nodded, looked at it for another half an hour, and said slowly: "This dictionary, in terms of use, has been perfected. The only fly in the ointment is these interpretations...... When a discerning person looks at it, he knows that most of them are taken from the rhyme book. ”

"That's what the teacher said." Chen Ke humbly taught: "In other aspects, as long as you are patient and meticulous, you can do a good job." This is the only part of the paraphrasing...... The students are really shallow and weak, so they can only draw scoops based on gourds. ”

"I see that you have also done serious research, and it is said that it is already very good." Wang Fang groaned: "But it will still make this giant book lose a lot of color." ”

"Ask the teacher to correct the axe for you." Chen Ke respectfully asked.

"I can't put pen to paper." Wang Fangshu smiled and said: "Although the old man is a savage, he is also a little famous, if I participate in the revision, you kid will not have time to cry." ”

"How could it be, I don't mind......" Chen Ke sneered, in fact, he had been worried just now that the old man would force a lever. I have already thought of a countermeasure.

"The melon field is not acceptable, and the plum is not crowned." Wang Fang laughed and said, "You don't mind, the old man still minds!" He looked straight and said, "If you don't think the old man is shallow, just stay here for a while and revise this dictionary again." ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Chen Ke was overjoyed, and he couldn't wait to hug Wang Fang and kiss him.

After informing the brothers, Chen Ke stayed on the mountain that day and began the revision work day and night.

said that he was revising, but in fact, the main work was done by Wang Fang. Old Master Wang dictated the revised note, and he just put the pen on top.

According to the old gentleman's suggestion, Chen Ke only revised more than 7,000 commonly used words. As for the nearly 20,000 rare words, it is enough to still follow the explanation on "Guangyun". Mr. Wang has been teaching for decades, and his knowledge is extremely solid, and he can revise the notes, sometimes faster than Chen Ke's handwriting.

The old gentleman leaned back on the recliner, holding a dictionary in one hand and tea in the other...... In this way, it was not until the Qingming Festival that the completion was announced. After a month, the gray hair on the old gentleman's head and the wrinkles on his face have increased significantly, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight.

This month is also a great torment for Chen Ke. He really hoped that the little sister could come to help him for a while, but she didn't show her face, which made him so strange.

But in any case, at the moment of completion, both the master and apprentice were very excited. coincided with the festival, Chen Ke cooked a few specialty dishes, and opened a bottle of good Jiannanchun, and the two of them drank comfortably in the wind and drizzle.

This is the first time Wang Fang has tasted Chen Ke's craftsmanship, and he is naturally full of praise, seeing that the old man is very interested, Chen Ke took the opportunity to propose and asked him to write a preface for the dictionary.

This is naturally a great honor, but Wang Fang categorically refused: "To make this dictionary popular, my weight is not enough." ”

"What does it matter?"

"It's a big deal, silly boy!" Wang Fang said with a smile: "The compilation of the "Dictionary" is only the first step, when will it become popular in the world, and who will become the one who enjoys the honor?" Everything is unknown. ”

"Please teach me." Chen Ke poured wine for Wang Fang.

"If it is published in a small place, and the preface is written by a small person like the old man, it will definitely be difficult for the world to know and recognize for a while. The longer the pearl is dusted, the more likely it is that your dictionary will be counterfeited...... It's not hard to counterfeit, it's just a makeover. Wang Fangyan smiled and said: "When the time comes, you have a small nose and small eyes, and you can only watch others deceive the world and steal your name." ”

"So how can you avoid it?" Chen Ke gasped.

"There are a lot of things to do, such as you have to go to a big place to publish, for example, you have to have a famous person to push it, and it would be even better if it could become an officially designated book at once." Wang Fang smiled and said: "But it can be boiled down to one sentence, ask a celebrity to write a preface, and all problems will be solved immediately!" ”

"What grade of celebrity?" Chen Ke asked with wide eyes.

"Of course, the bigger the better," Wang Fang stretched out a slap and withdrew two fingers, "The best and the best, it can be one of the three." ”

"Which three?"

"The official family, Fan Gong, Ouyang Yongshu." Wang Fang is serious.

"Poof...... Chen Ke almost lay on the table, and said with a wry smile: "Teacher, you really dare to think about it." ”

"I can't even think about it, what is the difference between a person and a salted fish?" Wang Fang opened his neckline slightly, showing his arrogant nature and said: "Your book has been read enough, and it will not be beneficial to nest in the small place of Qingshen." It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, dare you go out of Sichuan and meet those big people? ! ”

"Teacher, can you really let me meet the official family?" Chen Ke almost worshipped this old man.

"Uh...... Seeing the words of the official family, it is indeed a little unrealistic," Wang Fang smiled, and said hesitantly: "But Fan Gong and Ouyang Yongshu are both guarding the place now, and it is not difficult to see them." ”

"I remember," Chen Ke said suddenly: "The teacher and Ouyang Gong are friends in the same department!" ”

"Hey......" Wang Fang smiled strangely and said, "The same department is true, and friends can't be called friends." ”

"Don't you always exchange letters?" Chen Ke's eyes widened.

"I only exchanged one time, but after he stayed there, I wrote a letter of condolences, and he wrote back to express his gratitude." Wang Fang was greatly embarrassed, and said in a small voice: "It's not easy to run a school, if you don't put gold on your face, this academy has long been topped by the official school." ”

"It's not easy to be a teacher...... Chen Ke nodded heavily, not feeling Wang Fang's hypocrisy at all, but admiring the old gentleman's frankness even more.

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

"However, once born, twice ripe. I'll write another letter, and you take it to him, how can I see you again. Wang Fang looked at Chen Ke and said: "But there is a trouble you know, whether it is Fan Gong or Ouyang Yongshu, they are all regarded as the leaders of the Gentlemen's Party, and whoever you invite to make the preface will be classified as their party." No one dares to say whether this is good or bad for your future. As he spoke, he drank all the wine in the glass and said, "Think about it......

"Don't think about it." Chen Ke also took the wine cup and drank it all, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and grinned: "Being able to see Fan Zhongyan and Ouyang Xiu makes people excited just thinking about it, what else is there to hesitate?!" ”

"What a carefree boy!" Wang Fang clapped his hands and said, "Bring pen and ink, and I will write you a letter of recommendation!" ”

"Yes......" Chen Ke just responded, but heard a hurried knock on the courtyard door, followed by an anxious voice: "Mountain Chief, student Chen Chen asks to see." ”

"My brother ......" Chen Ke was taken aback.

"Come in, the door isn't closed." Wang Fang said in a deep voice.
