Chapter 18 Hanyu Pinyin and Punctuation

At this time, it was the end of June in the Song Dynasty, and the weather was very hot. In Wenzhan, Wenshen turned on the air conditioner to the maximum, sat on the sofa, and ate ice sorbet, and felt very comfortable. The cicadas came from the woods in the backyard of Wenzhan, which made Wenshen feel like he was back to his childhood.

Suddenly, the hall door opened wide, and Cecilia Cheung and Wang Xiu rushed in. The loud sound of the door hitting the door frame scared Wenshen. Wenshen said angrily: "What are you doing, you're in a panic."

When the two saw Wen Shen in the hall, they stretched out their tongues unconsciously and said, "It's too hot outside." As soon as they finished speaking, they felt something was wrong in the room. Suddenly, they said at the same time: "Sir, why is our room so cool?"

Wenshen smiled proudly and joked: "Sir, the treasure I made myself can make the house extremely cool. How do you think of this treasure?"

The two of them looked admiring and said, "Sir, you are so amazing that you can even make such treasures. Even if you don't see such treasures in the capital, there are such treasures."

"Haha" Wen Shen laughed a few times, took out two ice soybeans from the refrigerator, and said, "Okay, don't think about it. It's hot, come and have some ice soybeans."

Two women, one of them, licked the ice sorbet with their little tongue and said, "It's so sweet, so cool."

At this time, Wenshen saw the two of them eating ice soybeans, and suddenly remembered Zhao Feiyan sucking and licking her lower body. He suddenly felt a chicken move. He wanted to go up and press them to the ground immediately. Once this idea arises, Wenshen felt an evil fire in his body rushing upwards. In the end, he couldn't help it, so Wenshen returned to the modern villa through the space to clean up Zhao Feiyan.

"Sir, what are you doing in the toilet? Why are you doing for so long?" The two women asked a little worriedly when they saw Wen Shen coming out of the toilet.

"It's okay. Maybe your stomach is a little uncomfortable. You should eat less ice soybeans, which is not good for your stomach." Wen Shen said. Suddenly, Wen Shen remembered the incident in the academy and said, "You two are staying at home, I'll go to County Magistrate Lin for a trip."

As soon as he left the house, Wenshen felt a wave of heat coming towards him, and his scalp exploded. Looking at the hot sun, Wenshen retreated back to the house and said to the two girls: "You go and invite County Magistrate Lin and Master Yu to sit down."

"Okay, sir." After the two women said that, they were about to get up and go out. Wenshen was really embarrassed to see the two of them braved the sun, and said, "One of you two takes an umbrella to cover the sun."

"Thank you, sir." The two women said excitedly.

It seems that Yizhou is not very big. In less than a quarter of an hour, the two girls came back. As soon as they entered the house, the two girls said, "It's still cool at home."

Seeing the two girls coming back, Wen Shen smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, go to the refrigerator to get ice soybeans to reduce the heat."

Not long after, he heard a knock on the door outside. Wenshen knew that it was Lin County Magistrate Lin and the others. When he went out, he found out that it was Lin County Magistrate Yu and Master Yu, and there were several followers at the same time.

"Oh, Mr. Wen, your room is very cool." As soon as County Magistrate Lin entered the house, he said in surprise. Master Yu was looking around and was surprised by many things.

"Wang Xiu, go and pour two glasses of cold orange juice. Cecilia Cheung, please take some popsicles for the yamen runners outside." Wenshen said to Wang Xiu.

After a while, Wang Xiu brought two glasses of orange juice from the kitchen and put them on the coffee table in front of County Magistrate Lin and Master Yu.

Magistrate Lin picked up the glass with orange juice, took a sip, and said excitedly: "Mr. Wen, I don't know what to discuss."

"Minister Lin, I don't know how many teachers from the county school have recruited." Wen Shen asked.

"I'll talk about this next." Master Yu snatched: "Now there are more than 20 scholars applying for jobs. Most of them are in their forties or fifties and have no hope of imperial examinations."

"Yeah, that's not bad." Wen Shen smiled. "I don't know, Master Yu, how do you usually teach people to read."

Master Yu was stunned and said a little confused: "Of course it's Master, one word is taught by one."

"Oh..." Wen Shen picked up the sound, then took out a scroll from somewhere and opened it: "Sir Yu, Magistrate Lin, you can see that it's good to learn calligraphy like this."

The two stared at the painting in Wenshen's hand, with a puzzled look on their faces. The painting in Wenshen's hand was nothing else, but the Chinese pinyin picture used by children to learn Chinese characters. Wenshen smiled and slowly recited: "aoe...bpmf..."

During the Wen Shennian process, the eyes of the two gradually changed from doubt to surprise, and the brightness of their eyes became increasingly brighter. Finally, Magistrate Lin suddenly stepped forward and snatched the painting. His eyes kept patrolling the painting, and he was muttering words in his mouth, not knowing what he was saying.

"Okay, good, good, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful." County Magistrate Lin finally danced. When Wenshen handed a dictionary to Master Yu, Master Yu also fell into a state of madness.

After a long time, the two finally came to their senses slowly. They stared at Wenshen and said a little excitedly: "Mr. Wen, you are really a god."

Wen Shen saw this and said, "Minister Lin and Master Yu, how about you treat this Chinese pinyin and dictionary as a beginner's teaching book?"

"It's great. I think this matter is important and should be reported to the court. If this method is promoted on a large scale, it will greatly increase the recognition rate of the people of our dynasty. This is a merit in the present and a great future. If it doesn't work, I will write to the court immediately." County Magistrate Lin said with a red eye.

Wen Shen still underestimated the influence of Chinese pinyin and said, "Minister Lin, should we try it first? If the effect is good, you are reporting to the court."

County Magistrate Lin thought for a while and said, "Yes, that's fine, use this method when the county school starts."

"It is best to discuss and learn this method with the Masters so that it can proceed smoothly in the autumn." Master Yu reminded:

"Yes, Master Yu, I will leave this matter to you, it will be extremely quick." County Magistrate Lin ordered.

"Okay, I'll start tomorrow." Master Yu said with confidence.

"When you are reading the dictionary, what new discoveries have you made?" Wen Shen said with a smile.

The two looked at the dictionary again and said, Master Yu, "When I looked at it just now, I felt very smooth and there was no pause... What do these circles mean?"

Wenshen took out another picture from somewhere and hung it on the wall. He pointed to a circle with a small instruction stick and said, "This is a period, which means the end of a sentence...

The two of them plus Wang Xiu and the other two were deeply attracted and shocked by what Wen Shen said.

Wenshen spent more than an hour explaining the usage of punctuation marks. Master Yu recalled it and said: "This punctuation mark is very good. If the sentence has sufficient meaning, remember '.'; if the meaning is not enough, remember ','; although the meaning is not enough, but the meaning is bonded to the previous sentence, remember ';'; if the meaning is not enough, add another sentence, remember ':'; if the words are surprised and admired, remember '!'; if the questions are asked, remember '?'; if the evidence is cited, remember '"' before and after the sentence; add annotation, remember '()' before and after the sentence; and if the two paragraphs are connected, add a horizontal line like '——'."

County Magistrate Lin shook his head and said, "Okay, this method will greatly improve reading speed and will not easily cause ambiguity. It should be promoted."

"Although I didn't understand something, I think I remember everything that Mr. Husband said. What you said is so good, sir." Wang Xiu flattered.

Everyone made jokes for a while. Magistrate Lin might feel that it was getting late, so he stood up and said, "Today, I have a lot of feelings when I can listen to the teacher's lecture. I am late, so I will go back."

"Magistrate Lin, today, you can stay in your humble house for a drink." Wen Shen said.

"How embarrassed is this."

After a while of remarks, Magistrate Lin stayed for a meal. Wen Shen saw Magistrate Lin stayed, so he arranged for two girls to cook and wanted to bring him some dishes now.

Master Yu felt excited when he saw Magistrate Lin staying. He thought to himself: "I have been listening to the shopkeeper Zhang that Mr. Wen's dishes here are so delicious. Today I finally got to the best of the county magistrate and tried it out."

When Lin Magistrate saw Master Yu drooling in a daze, he shook his hand in front of Master Yu and shouted, "Master Yu, Master Yu."

"Well, what's wrong with me?"

"Pay attention to the image!" County Magistrate Lin said four words. After hearing this, Master Yu was ashamed and ashamed.

Wenshen felt that eating hot pot was more convenient, so he came to Chongqing through the space and bought two authentic Chongqing hot pots.

The wine table culture is a Chinese characteristic, both ancient and modern. After drinking some wine and meat, Wenshen felt that the distance between everyone was closer.

Magistrate Lin felt that he was really smooth sailing. He didn't expect to meet noble people in this poor place and make a fortune. More importantly, Magistrate Lin felt that his future was bright and he had never been so bright. But Magistrate Lin always had a sense of awe for Wenshen's mystery, and a feeling that he could not speak out. This feeling made Magistrate Lin very unhappy.

Master Yu had a great time eating hot pot, especially the cold beer made Master Yu feel so happy. While drinking, he thought to himself: "Shopkeeper Zhang did not bully me, it's so good."

After a mess, County Magistrate Lin and Master Yu returned. The two women were eating the leftover dishes. Although they were sweating profusely, they still ate very enthusiastically.

Wenshen looked at it and said, "You guys have finished eating and clean up and go out to do something. You can go to bed early, don't wait for me."
