Crossing the Homeland

Chapter 238

Master Chen said seriously, "How did shopkeeper Xia come up with these punctuation marks?"

Uh, should I thank old Mr. Manutius at this time...

Xia Junyan said: "A few years ago, I saw such a mark in the book left by my grandfather."

"So it was created by Mr. Xia!" Mrs. Chen stood up slowly, and looked towards the east, with reverence and awe on his face.

Xia Junyan made up her mind to return to the village in a few days to offer some incense sticks to Grandpa Xia, the old man was too tired.

Master Chen spread the letter paper carefully on the table, and said: "I think this Chengxintang paper is also left by Mr. Xia to shopkeeper Xia." Master Chen suddenly felt a little ashamed. He also made the mistake of judging people by their appearance.

ah?Xia Junyan nodded a little distracted: "Yes."

Master Chen let out a long sigh. He was very glad that he had come in person. He closed and put away the law very respectfully, and returned the letter to Xia Junyan.Xia Junyan became a little anxious now: "What does the head of the mountain mean?"

Mrs. Chen said earnestly: "Mr. Xia left this for shopkeeper Xia. What kind of virtue can Mr. Chen do? He absolutely dare not accept it."

"But this..." Xia Junyan said, "Is it because my recklessness annoyed the head of the mountain?"

"Shopkeeper Xia doesn't need to think too much, it's just that this paper is too precious."

"But this paper is precious because it is given to my wife. If the paper is not used for writing, but just put there, what is the use of precious paper? If the road is repaired and pedestrians don't walk, then the road is repaired. Spaciousness is also useless.”

Master Chen was taken aback.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Xia Junyan felt quite uneasy.Unexpectedly, after a while, Master Chen suddenly smiled and said: "This old man is a fool, or shopkeeper Xia can see it thoroughly. If that's the case, this letter is taken away by this old man."

Until Master Chen left, Xia Junyan was still at a loss.Although she had only met Mr. Chen for half a day, she found that Mr. Chen seemed to have a lot of feelings.It seems that the great Confucians in ancient times all had this characteristic. They could cry while drinking, and immediately began to write poems after crying...

The news that Mrs. Chen came to Xiaji Restaurant in person immediately spread throughout the town.Three days later, in the lecture at the academy, Master Chen proposed the use of punctuation marks, which refreshed the students.Afterwards, Mrs. Chen led the students to pay homage to Mr. Xia from a distance, and praised Xia Junyan for "earning to learn".This is the first time Master Chen has given such a comment since he started accepting disciples.

With such a grandfather, and with such an evaluation from a great Confucianist, the rumors of being a country girl and being vulgar will naturally be self-defeating.

Xia Junyan breathed a sigh of relief, her reputation has finally moved from negative to positive.Flipping through the law book at hand, she felt very touched at the moment—only people like Mr. Chen are real scholars.He didn't look down on Grandfather Xia because he started out as a businessman, but he admired him very much because of the punctuation marks, which is a respect for knowledge.

However, Xia Junyan was moved, but there was still one big thing to do right now.

Mo Ru sat aside and saw Xia Junyan take out the box of paper he gave him, and put it in front of him with a smile.The tone was very gentle, like a feather brushing against the heart, tickling the heart of the teaser.

"Brother Mo, thank you for the box of paper you gave me. If I didn't use this paper to write to Mrs. Chen and Mrs. Chen, I wouldn't be able to show my sincerity. As expected of the paper issued by the yamen, it's good."

It's better to have deep eyes wandering...

Shouldn't it be time to use the spirit of the inner guard being interrogated - be beaten to death without telling the truth?
