Chapter 289: The hearts of the ancients are difficult
Ling Or and Han Changsheng went out to run errands today, and they were not in the Ilvara Mansion at this time.
As for what they do, it's not really a big deal. It was just to go out into the street for her and buy some expensive paper of novel workmanship and elegant style.
This is also Xie Zhao's whim this morning.
Yesterday, the invitation to the banquet of the person surnamed Qin Hao came too suddenly, so that she didn't have time to prepare anything in advance, so she could only temporarily deal with a few Qingzi and make all the gifts.
However, since I plan to use the poetry and Qing Ci of the Southern Dynasty in the style of Western Xinjiang as gifts in the future, and give them to the people of the nine high-ranking castes in Western Xinjiang, it is not good to take some ordinary paper like this and perfunctory, which is too shabby.
In the mansion of the person surnamed Yi Minluo, although there is no shortage of this kind of precious and cherished paper.
But as a guest, it is a bit embarrassing to be cheeky and reach out to the host's house everywhere to beg for it.
Second, after all, it is a gift to several other people with the surname in the future, all of which are borrowed from paper with the imprint of Mindro, and more or less they will be stamped with the label of Mindroche, which is inevitably a little misleading.
So, Xie Zhao asked Ling He and Han Changsheng to go out of the house today and go to the street to find some good-looking and elegant papers, so that she could use them as materials for writing words in the future, so the two of them were not in the mansion at this time.
However, half an hour later, the two "horses" who were sent out of the house and released from the circle by her early in the morning finally came back one after another.
So, Xie Zhao said his unexpected discovery today again in front of the two of them.
Sure enough, Ling Or and Han Changsheng are not like Bo Xu's "no desires and no desires" and don't ask about everything, they must ask clearly and understandly.
Ling He frowned and said, "Is there anything wrong with that embroiderer?" ”
Xie Zhao smiled and replied slowly:
"From the fact that she asked the sentence 'where did you learn the Western Xinjiang writing system and broken sentences', it is enough to explain the problem."
Several people were slightly stunned when they heard this.
Han Changsheng didn't understand, so he took the lead in raising his doubts.
Is there anything wrong with this sentence? I didn't find any problems, could it be that this embroiderer was just curious.
After all, the script in Western Xinjiang is relatively difficult to write and difficult to recognize, and it is recognized as the most difficult script in the world except for Sanskrit, and it has always been only understood by full-time translators in the embassies of various countries.
In addition, the 'Black Sailuo' of the Western Xinjiang Dynasty are illiterate, so it doesn't seem strange that she will be surprised that you know the Western Xinjiang script? ”
Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows lightly and said lightly:
"It's not surprising that I know the Western Xinjiang script. But what surprised her was that I knew the Western Xinjiang style and sentence breaks, which was very extraordinary. ”
Ling Or was reminded by Xie Zhao, and instantly understood the violation.
He frowned and thought about it, realized a little, and said bluntly:
"That's right, since she is 'Black Sailuo' and is illiterate, even if she is a steward who is literate and hyphenated from the Qin Hao clan, and has dictated the meaning of the poem to her, will she still give a 'Black Sailuo' embroidery girl word by word, explaining the literal sentences and the writing system?
- After all, she only needs to embroider the background of the framed poem, and then embed Xie Zhao's clear words in it, since it is enough to know what the clear words are generally describing, how can the steward say so much? ”
Han Changsheng suddenly realized.
"That's right! How did she know that the Qing words written by Xie Zhao were written in accordance with the writing system and sentence breaking style of Western Xinjiang? Maybe Xie Zhao just arranged the Western Xinjiang characters he knew in order, instead of writing them according to the strict Western Xinjiang writing system?
Since she knew that Xie Zhao understood the writing system and broken sentences in Western Xinjiang, it meant that she not only saw it, but she also understood it! ”
Xie Zhao nodded with a smile and muttered thoughtfully:
"A 'Black Sailuo' who has been disfigured, but is literate and hyphenated, is a bit interesting."
Ling Or and Han Changsheng were slightly stunned.
"Disfigured?"
The two looked at each other.
Did a few of them have an indissoluble bond with "disfigurement"?
Why Bo Xuan was cut and disfigured by a knife, they naturally didn't know the reason.
But now they already knew that the blue-black "birthmark" on Xie Zhao's face before was done by himself to hide his appearance, since this is the case.
Ling Or frowned and asked, "Could it be that she is also trying to hide something?" Could it be that he also provoked some enemy, hiding his appearance for fear of being recognized? ”
Xie Zhao hissed and said dissatisfied:
"What do you mean by 'also'? You talk and talk, but don't fire the map cannon and implicate me, an innocent and simple weak woman. ”
Ling or: "."
Han Changsheng: "."
There are many grooves without mouths, and the mood is complicated.
The two of them were suspiciously quiet for a while, and Ling Or, who was the first to slow down.
He ignored Xie Zhao's position as "innocent" and "simple" very seriously, and continued to get down to business and ask:
"What do you think?"
Xie Zhao blinked, and followed not very seriously:
"I think you're right."
Ling or: "."
He frowned, and said helplessly: "Don't make trouble. ”
Xie Zhao laughed when he heard this.
"I'm not making a fuss, I mean seriously, I really think you're right.
This Mrs. Ning's face was disfigured by fire, whether it was intentional or accidental, we will not make a conclusion.
But since she can understand the Western Xinjiang script, it is impossible for her to be just an ordinary 'Black Sailuo' embroiderer. ”
Xie Zhao gently pressed the ankle of his right hand with his left hand, smiled very lightly after thinking, and then continued:
"So it seems that when she came to give me a tailor-made, she deliberately asked me what the Southern Dynasty flower 'Han Sakura' looked like in the poem, which was secondary. She just wanted to use this as a topic to find out why I knew about that style. ”
When Han Changsheng heard this, he not only frowned and asked:
"Could it be that the person in charge of the Qin Hao clan sent her?"
Xie Zhao shook his head slowly.
"Probably not, when Bao Jia, the head of the Qin family, saw the style of my poems yesterday, there was no difference in the slightest.
Moreover, if it is really Qin Hao Baojia who wants to test me, why didn't he naturally ask me about the cold cherry blossoms at the flower viewing banquet yesterday? It doesn't attract attention, and it allows you to see how I react for yourself. ”
Ling or frowned and asked:
"Is it possible. She hadn't reacted yet. ”
Xie Zhao smiled, she raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at them, and said:
"No way, if Qin Bao Jia is really so powerful, she can completely hide my eyes yesterday, and she has not missed the slightest abnormality. So if she wants to be tempted afterwards, no matter how bad she is, she should send her own family, who knows the roots, and is literate and hyphenation, to inquire - how could she send a 'Black Sailuo' embroidery girl from the embroidery brocade workshop to act? It doesn't make sense. ”
Han Changsheng thought for a while and hesitated: "So, do you mean that this old embroidery girl surnamed Ning has a problem, and she is hiding her selfishness by coming to the door to tailor her clothes for you, and carrying the master Qin Luxury Orb behind her back?" ”
Xie Zhao bowed his head lightly and sighed:
"I think nine times out of ten. And don't forget."
She looked at them calmly and said:
"The drunken high caste in Western Xinjiang has the custom of tattooing the family emblem on her body after the age of thirteen - she is literate and disfigured, which makes it hard for me not to wonder if this Mrs. Ning not only hides her true face, but also wants to use this scar to hide the tattoo that represents her clan identity."
Most of the tattoos of the high-ranking castes in Western Xinjiang are engraved on the face, back, waist and abdomen, and arms, and a few are embroidered on the legs.
So.
Xie Zhao lowered his head and smiled, a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes.
This embroidery girl named Ning Po is really suspicious.
If she Xie Zhao was really just a Nanchao Tianchen Xinglin skill, then it would naturally be difficult to find Ning Po's abnormality.
After all, the border of Western Xinjiang is too mysterious, and most foreigners have very limited understanding of it.
Therefore, even if Ning Po asked about the writing system and the clan sentence break symbol, if ordinary Southern Dynasty people knew only half of it, they would naturally not think of it so much.
But Ning Po was unlucky, and what she met was Xie Zhao, who knew the subtleties and was endless.
If it were to be said by her senior brother, Nanxu, the high priest of Shentai Palace, it would be a strange thing that would attract her attention even if a suspicious firefly flew by her.
Ling He was silent for a long time, and sighed slightly:
"We've only been in Xijiang for a few days, and someone has sent such an important clue to the door by themselves, which I can hardly believe for a while. Xie Zhao, it seems that many things are much simpler to investigate the case with you. ”
Xie Zhao shook his head with a smile and said lightly:
"In fact, every clue has to be readily available. Nowadays, every step in front of us is easy to come by, and it is inseparable from this methodical and step-by-step planning along the way. ”
In fact, strictly speaking, Ling He has come all the way to the present, and it seems that it is easy to clear all the mysteries layer by layer, but it is not easy to take any step.
It's not about mental arithmetic, it's about ingenuity.
From the end of summer, knock on the door of the Shenfu Courtyard in Ruyang; and then to the key clues obtained by the almost dangerous and poisonous men of the Grand Duke Zeng in the city that never sleeps; and then to the trip of Handyong in the Northern Dynasty to the adventure of Guangling City, and the Hulu Altar to solve doubts; Even went to the Western Xinjiang to design close to the people with the surname of the Yi Luo clan, and then took advantage of this to appear in front of the nine high-caste nobles to attract people with a heart to watch
- Which of the above things does not seem to be easy and casual, but in fact, even a little laxity or mistakes can lead to a world of difference in results?
The noisy moon beach in the south of the Yangtze River is difficult for the ancients.
Don't hate, your heart is as quiet as water, and you can see nothing at leisure.
In fact, in ancient times, it was really a mysterious thing.
And many treacherous clouds are actually entangled in the hearts and minds of these unbreakable people.
It's a pity that who dares to speak boldly and frankly with empty eyes, and he can really break the hearts of all people?
In the past, the "Chitose Sword Immortal" who boasted of his wisdom and wisdom in the Southern Dynasty and his brilliant understanding became a confused and chaotic "blind eye" when things were closely related to the people he cared about?
But fortunately, in addition, Xie Zhao can always see the fire and know the subtleties of people's hearts.
After all, many years ago, once upon a time, the Shentai Palace's peerless mental method of Great Sanskrit Sound Technique and Little Sanskrit Sound Technique, which was born with Liangyi Zhouyi as the axis and Tianzhu Buddhist Sutra as the guide, was also the housekeeping ability of the goddess.
Xie Zhao sighed lightly in his heart.
The careful judgment of the goddess of the Shentai Palace back then was wise and close to the demon, and now it is used to clear the clouds and become the key to finding the answer, which is not a loss.
