Then there is no more

Bian Jingyu fell into deep thought.

An Pingbo and Shen Deyuan are old friends for many years, Bian Jingyu has met Shen Deyuan several times, and has been instructed by Shen Deyuan in learning.He also had a conversation with Shen Yi's elder brother, Shen Si.In Bian Jingyu's heart, he has always admired Shen Deyuan, and highly respected Shen's family education.Even because of Shen Yi's special situation, Bian Jingyu has never met Shen Yi, but from Shen Yi's father and brother, Bian Jingyu has seen many beautiful qualities, so he has a natural affection for Shen Yi.Therefore, facing such a strange post, Bian Jingyu would not think badly about Shen Yi.

Don't think about the bad, but naturally think about the good.

Bian Jingyu pointed to the "@" symbol and said, "Father, I have little knowledge, and I have never seen this pattern in classics before. But forgive me for guessing boldly, this is probably a symbol in a certain religion. It is used for blessing. This must be the intention of the Second Young Master Shen."

An Pingbo felt that what Bian Jingyu said made sense, so he nodded thoughtfully.

This time when the Shen family was in trouble, the Bian family could not do much in the officialdom, and the help they gave to the Shen family was extremely limited, but the Bian family managed to protect Shen Deyuan's son and daughter.Although the Bian family will not repay the Bian family with this matter, but how the Bian family is a matter of the Bian family does not prevent the Shen family from being grateful to them.

Faced with this gratitude, Uncle Anping sighed and said, "I can't save brother Benchang from prison, I deserve it."

Benchang is Shen Deyuan's word. The word "ben" combines the word "source".The source refers to the beginning of the water flow, which means origin and root.

Bian Jingyu also sighed in her heart, and continued to comment on this strange post, saying: "As for the horizontal writing from left to right, although it is completely different from the vertical writing from right to left that we commonly use. But baby After thinking about it carefully, I found that this kind of writing method is very desirable. Perhaps Shen Er was seriously ill and lacked strength. When writing, his wrist could not hang in the air for a long time, so he changed this writing method. To avoid dirtying the post .”

When writing, if you write from right to left, once your hand accidentally wipes off the words you just wrote, the paper will be stained.Of course, clean and tidy paper is the minimum requirement for readers.Under normal circumstances, as long as you have practiced handwriting for several years, you will not rub your handwriting.But didn't Bian Jingyu find a reason for Shen Er?Shen Er was just recovering from a serious illness, and he couldn't hang his hands in the air for a long time, so that he would accidentally wipe the words when writing.

An Pingbo felt that his son's analysis made sense.if not?Otherwise, why did Shen Er change the way of writing from left to right?

Bian Jingyu said with great admiration: "Again, second son Shen must have extremely high calligraphy attainments. Even if he just recovered from a serious illness, this handwriting is extremely good, and there is no sense of stagnation at the turning point. Second son Shen has a heart. Changda, he must not have been knocked down by foreign affairs. There are not as many children as him."

"My son, don't underestimate yourself." Facing his son, An Pingbo as a father can say such words is already the limit. Although he feels that his son is not necessarily inferior to Shen Deyuan's son, there is no more praise. .This is all to maintain the majesty of the father.Uncle An Ping changed the subject, and said: "Since Shen Er has not fully recovered, I will ask your mother to pack up some medicinal materials later, and send them to the Shen family."

Bian Jingyu hurriedly stood up and responded respectfully: "Yes."

The post is not finished yet.Bian Jingyu pointed to a series of punctuation marks such as ",", ".", ":" on the post, and said: "These symbols have never been seen before. However, my child saw that these symbols appeared very regularly, but guessed Some of their uses are revealed. The child thinks that this should be used to break sentences. If a sentence is only half-sentenced, use ',' to break it. If a sentence is completely finished, use '.' to break it open."

Uncle An Ping re-read the post, and once again admitted that what Bian Jingyu said made sense, so he nodded again.

The house suddenly fell silent.

Bian Jingyu looked hesitant, as if she wanted to say something, but found it difficult to say it.

Uncle An Ping knew that his son had always had a plan in mind, so he asked, "What do you think? Just tell me."

Bian Jingyu pointed to the punctuation marks on the post and said: "Father, my child thinks that if these symbols are passed on, they will definitely attract the attention of scholars. This is probably the real gift from the Shen family to us." Things related to scholars are not trivial.This gift is too heavy!

Scholars usually rely on sentence patterns and modal particles to break sentences when reading.They don't have special symbols for punctuation.But at this time, punctuation marks have actually taken shape.It's just that there are no punctuation marks on the new books sold in the bookstore.Only the family collection has punctuation marks.

Compared with the humble family, what are the advantages of the family?It lies in the background.

If poor people want to study, they have to be led by an enlightenment teacher who "teaches the book and learns the sentence", otherwise they don't even know how to punctuate the sentence.The son of the aristocratic family wants to read, and he has old books handed down from generation to generation in his family as enlightenment reading materials. There are annotations, sentence breaks, etc. on the old books.This starting point is much higher than that of the poor.However, such a sentence break does not form a system, it just adds a small dot after a certain word.

But in the invitation letter sent by Shen Yi, there are more than one kind of sentence breakers.Bian Jingyu pondered while watching, and basically understood the meaning of each sentence break.If such a set of standardized sentence punctuation symbols can be promoted... Bian Jingyu didn't dare to think too much, so she quickly calmed down.

"I don't know if it's Uncle Shen's painstaking effort or Second Young Master Shen's fantastic idea, but I think this thank you gift is a bit heavy." Bian Jingyu said.

Existing sentence breakers are quite limited.Take the sentence of the sage Confucius, "The people can make them know what they want" as an example.The sentence can be: the people can make it; they can't make it known.It can also be: if the people can, let them know; if they can't, let them know.It can also be: the people can make it, let it go; if they can't make it, know it.It can also be: the people can make it, but not by it; make it known.It can even be: Can the people make it happen?No.Can make it known.

The same word can have diametrically opposite meanings because of different sentence punctuations and different tones.However, the family's existing way of punctuating sentences cannot completely solve these problems.It can be seen from this that once the systematic sentence-punctuation symbols sent by Shen Yi are publicized, how much waves will be caused among today's scholars!As a scholar, Bian Jingyu felt agitated just because she understood these principles.

Uncle An Ping was awakened by his son, and immediately felt that this greeting card was extremely important.

For Anpingbo Mansion, which is going downhill, this is obviously an opportunity.However, no matter how mediocre Uncle Anping is, no matter how much he wants to revitalize Uncle Anping's mansion, he will never be able to do something that will take people's achievements.He pondered for a moment, then asked: "If we present these..." Uncle An Ping bowed in the direction of the palace, meaning that he wanted to present the reform of punctuation symbols to the emperor.Then, he continued: "Let's make it clear that this is brother Benchang's contribution. For the sake of this contribution, is it possible for the Holy Spirit to offset brother Benchang's merits and demerits and avoid his crime of exile?"

Bian Jingyu shook her head and said: "It's hard to say, it probably won't work. Father, Uncle Shen's matter is not that simple, and it involves court party disputes. It's not that the emperor wants to punish Uncle Shen's crimes, but It was the emperor who had to punish Uncle Shen in order to protect the crown prince."

Anping Bo sighed.

Bian Jingyu also said: "Furthermore, although these sentence breakers are of great use, once they are popularized, they will indeed be convenient for scholars all over the world, and they can be regarded as a meritorious service for the present and future. But in this way, the classics The content is easier to be learned, and the advantage of the wealthy family will decline.”

The promotion of any policy will have supporters and opponents.There are three immediate resistances to the promotion of punctuation.

One comes from a wealthy family. For them, without punctuation, their descendants can learn the classics well. The promotion of punctuation will benefit those who have no background.One is from Suan Confucianism, they firmly believe that the book of saints cannot be added or subtracted, otherwise it is disrespectful to saints, so why are they willing to let the books be reprinted with punctuation?There is another one that is actually slightly overlapped with the aristocratic family. Some people who have been officials and slaughtered them are accustomed to using obscurant policies when governing the people. How could they support this behavior that can obviously inspire the wisdom of the people?

And this third point can be led to the emperor.What does the emperor think?Is he willing to inspire people's wisdom?

If the Anpingbo Mansion holds a lot of power, then they can ignore those opponents, and as long as they have the support of the emperor, they can promote punctuation.But in fact, the Anpingbo Mansion is simply unable to compete with many dignitaries.In the face of possible opponents, they can only choose to lie dormant.

Therefore, the promotion of punctuation needs to be considered in the long run.

Seeing that Bian Jingyu spoke clearly and logically, An Pingbo's eyes gradually turned complicated.He always knew that the youngest son was smarter than the eldest son, but the analysis of the youngest son still exceeded his expectations.He waved his hand and said, "Since that's the case, don't mention it in advance. You can go back first."

After bidding farewell to her father, Bian Jingyu walked back to her yard slowly.

The courtyard where Uncle Anping lives is called Shun'an Courtyard, and after leaving Shun'an Courtyard, it is the Cheng'an Courtyard where Bian Jiayu, the elder brother of Bian Jingyu, lived.The two courtyards are very close to each other.The Heng'an Courtyard where Bian Jingyu lives is a little more remote.Judging from the name of the academy alone, Bian Jiayu's position as the heir is very stable.

It was very quiet in Cheng'an courtyard, Bian Jiayu was not there.

There were Guozijian and Taixue in this dynasty, and because most of the royal family's children went to the Guozijian to study, the status of Guozijian faintly surpassed that of Taixue.There is a quota for admission to the Imperial Academy in the Anpingbo Mansion, and this quota is naturally given to Bian Jiayu.After Bian Jingyu grew up, he entered the Taixue by relying on his own strength.One of the two brothers is in the Imperial College, and the other is in the Taixue. Due to their busy studies, they live in the dormitory on weekdays, and the chances of meeting and contacting are much less.

In the past few days, Bian Jingyu chose to go to school because she had to keep an eye on the affairs of the Shen family and it was inconvenient to live in the dormitory.

The relationship between Bian Jingyu and Bian Jiayu cannot be said to be bad.

If Bian Jiayu is sick, Bian Jingyu, as a good younger brother, will definitely take care of him in his clothes.His care is absolutely meticulous, and he sincerely hopes that Bian Jiayu will get better.Similarly, if Bian Jingyu is sick, Bian Jiayu will also come to take care of him, and there is nothing wrong with tasting the decoction for him.But if the relationship between the two brothers is really good, Bian Jingyu will never do such a thing as saying that the medicine is too bitter to Bian Jiayu.

Bian Jingyu didn't covet the title of title in the mansion, nor did the mansion stop Bian Jingyu from letting him stand out, and when something happened, he could twist into a rope and unanimously speak out... This kind of brotherhood is actually better than most of the people in Beijing. My half-brother is much better.Bian Jingyu was already very satisfied.

How else could it be?

Do you really want to say to Bian Jiayu, "Brother, the medicine is too bitter, Jing'er doesn't want to drink it"?Then, Bian Jiayu replied, "Jing'er be good, after taking the medicine, my brother will feed you milk cake"... Bian Jingyu only thought about this in her head, and goose bumps appeared all over her body.

Tsk, it's kind of disgusting.
