Red Mansion Royal Cat

Chapter 196 Punctuation is not trivial

Meowing in the small garden, the girls had a great time playing with the little raccoons.

Xichun suddenly remembered something, tilted her head and asked, "Third Brother, what's the name of this cat?"

Uh……

As soon as he heard the name, Jia Cong immediately stiffened: Why is it such a brain-intensive thing to come up with a name?What should I name it?
"Look at this cat's eyes are big and round, and it's two colors. Its fur is snow-white, why don't we call it..."

Everyone focused their eyes on Jia Cong who was racking his brains, only to see Jia Cong gritted his teeth and uttered a sentence: "How about calling it a dog egg?"

"No way!"

Daiyu immediately rejected Jia Cong's name, and rolled her beautiful eyes: "Brother Cong really chose a good name, a good donkey is called Dabao, and the tiger of the sage is called the flower arm tattoo gold gradient, now it's good My cat has such a vulgar name."

"Third Brother is wrong, it's called Maodan."

Xichun was obviously led astray by Jia Cong, and subconsciously corrected a sentence.There is some truth, but obviously not much.

Daiyu tapped Xichun's little head lightly, picked up the meowing little raccoon slave, and smiled in her eyes: "Snowy teeth, creamy hairs are in the books, and there is no fish to eat. The rats on the bedside are full of food, Catches the young among the flowers."

"Little Cat, from now on you will be called Shuang'er!"

"Frost..."

"Meow~"

"Brother Cong, look, it understands!"

Jia Cong looked at the little raccoon slave who was rubbing his head against Daiyu's palm, and suddenly felt someone tugging at his sleeve.

Looking down, I saw Xichun staring at him eagerly, grabbing Jia Cong's sleeve: "Third brother, I want to raise a kitten too!"

Jia Cong touched Xichun's little head: "What's so difficult about this, what do you want, third brother will find it for you?"

I saw Xichun pointing at the big fat orange decorated on Jia Cong's clothes: "I want this one on third brother, I want a big and fat cat!"

……

Master She went to the old place. Although Jia Cong was curious about what the old place was, Master She obviously didn't want to take him with him.

Until the morning of the second day, Jia Cong did not see his father come back.It was Jia Shishi who told him that Master She sent someone back last night, that he was playing outside with King Zhongshun, and that he would not come back at night...

Well, don't think these two old dudes must be sleeping in Fengyue.

Jia Cong didn't plan to go to the palace today to seek punishment. Yesterday he lost a lot of ugliness. He wants to work hard today. Let's go through the homework assigned by the emperor first.

"How do you read "Notes on the Armillary Sphere?"

Daiyu walked into the study with the cat in her arms, stared at the book blocking Jia Cong's face and asked suspiciously.

Snoring, snoring...

When there was no response, Daiyu put the cat on the table and took down the books, only to see Jia Cong lying on the table and sleeping soundly.

A sneeze!

Jia Cong, who was discussing the rotation and revolution of the earth with the old god Ge Hong and Zhang Heng, suddenly felt his nose itchy, and after he sneezed, Zhang Heng could not see the bird...

I saw a snow-white cat in front of me sweeping its tail around his nose.

"Others read books by studying hard in the cold window, but Brother Cong relies on the fairy in the dream to teach us, isn't it, Brother Cong?"

Daiyu stretched out her slender fingers and pressed lightly on Jia Cong's forehead.

Jia Cong scratched his head in embarrassment, and smiled.

Daiyu gently raised the book in her hand, and asked with a smile, "Why do you suddenly read "Notes on the Armillary Sphere?"

"It's not just "Notes on the Armillary Sphere"..."

Jia Cong smiled wryly and spread out the stack of thick books on the table one by one: "There are also "New Book of Gexiang", "Zhang Heng Armillary Sphere", "Santong Calendar", "Qianxiang Calendar"... I lost them yesterday. It's ugly!"

After Jia Cong told about the embarrassment in the palace yesterday, Daiyu covered her mouth and laughed.

After finally stopping her laughter, Daiyu comforted her softly, "It's not your fault. In fact, besides Qin Tianjian, how many people have paid attention to whether the earth is round or square? The round sky and the earth have been around since ancient times. Common sense, if you go to the countryside and tell an old farmer that the earth is round, what do you think he will think of you?"

How will it look?Of course it's a fool!
Jia Cong said bitterly: "Sister Lin, why didn't you tell me earlier."

"You didn't ask, it's been so long, I thought you already knew this. Look at the chart in your room, the routes on the chart can be connected into a circle."

Daiyu fixed her eyes on the huge chart hanging in the room, and said reproachfully: "You, you just don't study well. I also have these books at home, but I haven't seen you read them."

"It's true that when the book is used, it's a pity that the writing is too mysterious. Every time I read it, I feel foggy and fall asleep after a while."

This kind of book about Zheye doesn't even have a punctuation mark...

Huh?Punctuation?

Yes, punctuation marks!
Jia Cong slammed the table, and the kitten, who was wrestling with his tail, almost jumped up in fright.

Daiyu was also taken aback, and said angrily, "What's wrong with you?"

"Sister Lin, can you do me a favor?"

Without waiting for Daiyu to answer, Jia Cong spread out a piece of paper, picked up a pen and began to draw on the paper, comma, period, semicolon, exclamation point...

A sheet of paper was full of various symbols, which made Daiyu look confused.

Jia Cong pulled Daiyu to him, pointed to the first symbol and said, "This is a comma, meaning pause. If the meaning in the sentence needs to pause, you can click on this symbol."

"This is a full stop, meaning the end..."

"This is the title of the book, marking the author..."

Jia Cong's understanding of punctuation marks is not completely accurate, but Daiyu has understood his meaning.

"Huainan Zixu" said: "There are few self-inducements, and I read from the old servant Lu Jun of the same county."

At present, the ancient system is still followed, and the method of reading sentences is used.For thousands of years, there have been few new methods for punctuating sentences, but Brother Cong's method of punctuating sentences is very innovative and promising.

At least in elementary school, if there is this method, it will be easier for young children to understand the subset of classics and history.But there is one thing that Daiyu has some scruples about. Every time there is a new law, there will be people who will stand up to oppose it, and there are many famous Confucians among them...

"Sister Lin, is this feasible? Can you mark these books for me?"

Looking at the little black fat man with bright eyes, Daiyu bit her lips, and nodded solemnly: "Yes, yes, I will mark these books for you first. But don't tell others about this. Don't let others see the markings on the book, I'll write to ask Dad."

what?
Jia Cong asked suspiciously, "You still have to ask uncle about such a trivial matter?"

Daiyu looked at the stupid Jia Cong, and explained helplessly: "You think it's a trivial matter, but it is very likely to cause a huge sensation in Shilin. Don't say anything else, think about it, would the Confucius family in Qufu want someone to be in " Add these... punctuation marks to the Analects. If you can add them, where can they be added? Is it Yan Shenggong who has the final say or other great Confucians who have the final say?"

At this time, a voice suddenly flashed in Jia Cong's mind: "The Master said: The people can let them know, but they can't let them know. Or, the people can let them know, but they can't let them know."
