Chapter 2: The Soul
According to the fluctuating mood, Chen Fan looked at the back left side of his body, that is, opposite the bookcase, where a chest of drawers and two boxes stacked together were placed, and at the corner of the piano, a bookshelf was placed, on which some bamboo slips, as well as some silk and paper. It seems that it has been written on paper, as far as Chen Fan knows, Liu Bang established the Han Dynasty, in the middle of which was usurped by Wang Mang, and later his ninth grandson Liu Xiu regained the throne, historians will be Wang Mang usurped power before, called the Western Han Dynasty, after Wang Mang usurped power, called the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although paper appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, it began to meet the requirements of writing after Cai Lun's improvement in the Eastern Han Dynasty. "The development of the current dynasty has at least reached the level of the Eastern Han Dynasty." Chen Fan thought.
At this time, Ah Chun walked in with a basin, "Lang Jun washes his face." "Ah Chun walked towards Chen Fan." Put the basin on the desk. "As a modern person, Chen Fan is a little unaccustomed to being served.
Ah Chun saw that Chen Fan had already sat up, so he didn't say anything, and put the washbasin on the bookcase. Chen Fan noticed that he was wearing an off-white straight-necked brocade gown, the size was appropriate, it was very comfortable, he got up and walked to the basin, although the water was clear, but unfortunately it could not reflect the figure of a person.
By the way, how old is your body now? I remember seeing in a dream, the young man lying on the bed looked not big, his black hair was combed back of his head, and a sharp edge and corner were exposed in the middle of his forehead, from the edge and corner downward, it was a straight nose bridge, thin lips, and the face was divided into two even sides, and on the closed eyes, there were two delicate and slightly long sword eyebrows, and the cheeks looked slightly thin, but they were angular. "Don't be too handsome!" Chen Fan thought, "It's too handsome and troublesome." β
In modern times, Chen Fan is also a handsome guy, in high school because he was handsome, he got into trouble, which affected his studies, and later he was only admitted to a second-rate university.
After washing his face, Chen Fan sat on the chair in front of the bookcase, and through the window, he saw that there was a courtyard outside, and a side room opposite, and there was a window facing here, but unfortunately he didn't want to enjoy the scenery outside the window now, and it was important to understand the situation.
"What else does Lang Jun have to say?" Ah Chun asked.
"No, you're busy."
"Then Ah Chun is outside Lang Jun's door, what is there to call Ah Chun."
"Hmm." Chen Fan nodded, and Ah Chun picked up the basin and walked out.
can finally read books quietly, to be honest, as an otaku, Chen Fan still likes to read books, especially novels, magazines, chess games, etc. To understand the situation of the original owner, reading books is undoubtedly a good choice, at least you can understand what this body is looking at, what knowledge is needed by people in this era, it is better than touching the dark eyes.
"Victor Hugo of France once said, 'Books are the tools of the soul.'" I wonder what the soul of the original owner was like? Chen Fan smiled self-deprecatingly, picked up the bamboo slips on the bookcase and looked at them.
The characters are Chinese traditional Chinese characters, most of them are recognized, but unfortunately the article has no punctuation marks, which looks a little difficult. Fortunately, it is not necessary to study the meaning, as long as you know the general content, first find the historical customs and customs of the article, put aside the others, and look at it later, the main task at present is to have an understanding of the social and cultural background in which you live.
There are very few books, only three volumes, namely "The Lineage of the Five Emperors", "Rabbit η½" [tΓΉ jΕ«], and "Jin Xiangong Will Kill His Son Shensheng".
In Chen Fan's understanding, "The Lineage of the Five Emperors" is slightly related to historical customs, but unfortunately Chen Fan watched it for a long time, and only studied this historical record, which introduced the events of the Yao Emperor period in "The Lineage of the Five Emperors", and the other four emperors did not mention it, it is this bamboo slip, whether the matter of Emperor Yao has been introduced, it is not very clear, and the content is really a bit winding.
"Rabbit Yi", a four-word poem, Chen Fan didn't understand the meaning of the poem, but he definitely didn't learn it in school, even if it was a four-word poem, Chen Fan saw very little, in the impression that the school mainly talked about five-word quatrains, seven-word quatrains, and learned very little about the poetry, not to mention the four-word poems in the ancient style poems.
"Jin Xiangong Will Kill His Son Shen Sheng", Chen Fan only understood the title, and the two words "Rites" under the title on the bamboo slips, what he didn't understand was the father's behavior of killing his son, in this society, is it also a kind of "rite"?
In addition, under the book, there are two pieces of juan paper, one is "The Treatise on Migration", which should discuss the necessity of prohibiting the Hu people from living together with the Han people; The other is "Grass and Trees Score", which is neither a song sheet nor a literary work, but a chess score that introduces black and white Go, Chen Fan didn't read the specific content and put it aside.
After flipping through the text content on the bookcase, Chen Fan completely extinguished the idea of understanding the current era through words, with his current weak knowledge of classical Chinese, if he wants to understand the meaning, unless the original owner of the little boy replays the scene when he went to school in every detail, it is estimated that it is possible. But it's not all without gains, at least I understand that the period I live in now, if it is in ancient times, should be before the Song Dynasty and after the Han Dynasty. Chen Fan remembered that after Wang Anshi changed the law in the Song Dynasty, the imperial examination only tested the four books and five classics, but the current content on the bookcase includes historical records, poetry classics, and chess classics, but he did not see the "Analects", "Mencius" and other Confucian representative works. The appearance of paper indicates that it was after the Han Dynasty. Between these two dynasties, looking at the lively and impulsive girl, and listening to the title of Langjun, Chen Fan estimated that it was more likely to be in the era of the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
By the way, you should pay special attention to the title, in addition to calling your mother, usually your mother, the other is the use of the word "you". Chen Fan remembered the title of the word "you", once saw in the miscellaneous records that there was no such word before the Tang and Song dynasties, and it did not appear until the Jin and Yuan dynasties, this word originated in the northern dialect, and there was no honorific meaning at the beginning, and later expressed the honorific title, then if it is now in the period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, for Chen Fan, who is accustomed to using "you" in modern society, it is necessary to pay attention to whether this word is used in this era, so as not to make jokes.
The time to think flew by, and suddenly, Ah Chun walked in with a tray, "Lang Jun, let's have lunch first, Mrs. ordered, saying that Lang Jun was unwell, and asked someone to bring the food to Lang Jun." β
It turned out that it was noon unconsciously, and the sun was scorching, falling straight down, and was blocked out of the window.
I was really hungry, "Okay, let's put it on the bookcase." Chen Fan returned.
There are two bowls in the tray, and in addition to a bowl of blue and white lean porridge, there is also a bowl of stewed eggs.
"Where's Father?" After meditating for such a long time, Chen Fan remembered that he had seen the clips of this boy's communication with his father, eldest brother, and teacher Han Fuzi in a dream, as well as the clips of him often being with his two classmates Feng Can and Gong Qing when he was in school. What Chen Fan couldn't understand was that in the clip he saw, the last memory was so clear, a teenager was lying quietly on the bed, exactly the same as the scene in this room now, this should be the situation after the teenager fainted, but he couldn't remember how the teenager fainted. If what you see is the memory of the teenager, then the teenager faints and can still see himself lying on the bed? If it is not the memory of the teenager, then how can it be possible to see the fragment of the teenager communicating with people in front of him? The key is how did you get dizzy?
"I don't know," Ah Mei saw that Chen Fan still looked at her with doubts, and continued, "I only know that the envoy is not at home, and Yan Hai and the others who followed the envoy out have not come back yet, and the envoy has gone out far this time, but when you fainted, Madame sent someone to inform the envoy." β
"Oh, after I fainted, didn't my father come back?"
"No, after you fainted, the envoy happened to be urgently recruited to Gusu by the prince, but he sent Yan Hai back to inform the next lady, at that time you had just fainted, and you were shouting Lang Zhong to come and see, thinking that you were okay, so I didn't tell Yan Hai, Mrs. saw Lang Jun fainted for two days, and only sent Hou Feng to inform the envoy yesterday."
"Sent Hou Feng there?" Chen Fan asked casually.
"Yes, Hou Feng was the fastest and best martial artist in the house at that time, so it was most appropriate for him to go."
"Can't you find someone to ride a horse?" Chen Fan wanted to ask if there was a messenger, but he was afraid that there was no such thing as a messenger in this era, so he changed his words.
"Looking for someone to deliver the letter, I can't find a more suitable one than Hou Feng, his legs are not slower than horses."
Finally got some useful information. Basically, I am sure that I am currently in a eunuch's house; His father's official position was below the king, but it was not too low; The current place is close to Gusu and should be a small county to which it belongs; I just don't know if this Gusu is the Suzhou of ancient China? This person named Hou Feng can find a chance to get to know him in the future, and it seems that he is a capable person. Chen Fan quickly sorted out his thoughts.
Also, for Chen Fan, the biggest gain is that he finally knows some information about fainting, although Ah Chun just said that after he fainted, everyone thought it was no big deal, so there were actually two most reasonable possibilities: one is that this phenomenon has appeared in this body before, everyone is used to it, and they are not panicked; Another possibility, in this era, there will also be people who faint suddenly, such as overwork, and this body may have been doing strenuous exercise before, so it did not attract attention when fainting.
It's just that this body fell asleep for three days, combined with the conclusion given by his mother, "It should be the soul that was injured", vaguely, Chen Fan seemed to grasp the key to explaining the problem of coma. First of all, whether these two reasons, it is not difficult to figure out, Qing'er in the mother's mouth is on the scene, you can ask, as for whether the other party's answer is true, it can be judged according to the other party's answer; Secondly, no matter what the reason is, the common denominator is that there is no abnormal phenomenon that causes people to panic when they faint, and the excuse that they may be attacked and knocked out by someone cannot be wanted; Third, what Lang Zhong said was that "it should be" that the soul was injured, why should it be, but not necessarily? How much is known about souls in this era? This is something that needs to be clarified.
