The legend of the king of crossing

Chapter 413 Dialect

"Me," I laughed, "Ling'er, of course I can."

"Brother, why can you do it?"

I smiled and said: "Ling'er, because your brother and I have nothing to seek personal interests. People in the world have so-called public and private interests, but for me, there is no difference. Naturally, there is no such thing as using power for personal gain as people often say." ,"

Fang Ling thought for a while and said, "Brother, it sounds reasonable,"

Although Fang Ling knew my identity as the emperor, he didn't show any signs of alienation from me as the emperor. Perhaps after losing his memory, he also lost the feudal thought of respecting the emperor, plus my Fang Ling People around him also accepted Fang Ling's advanced way of expression.

More or less, from Fang Ling, I seem to feel every bit of Lingshan again.

When approaching the north shore of West Lake, I suggested: "Let's go to Yanfu Temple to have a look."

"Yanfu Temple, Monk Lianzhen, okay," although Fang Ling couldn't remember ever going to Yanfu Temple, but he heard me mention it, so he knew that there was a single monk named Lianzhen in Yanfu Temple, who was proficient in medicine. Physiognomy.

Zhang Quan is still not very familiar with Lin'an, and he has no opinion on where to go for an outing.

As soon as he landed, Yuan Ji, who had excellent eyesight, pointed to a pavilion not far in front of him and said, "My lord, look, it's Ouyang Jianqing and Mr. Jerry."

Ouyang Jianqing did not travel with the Eastern Expeditionary Army this time, but stayed in Lin'an and was responsible for the recruitment of naval recruits.

"Hehe, it's them," I walked forward slowly, and said in front of the pavilion, "Mr. Jerry, why are you free to come here today?"

Jerry and Ouyang Jianqing, who turned their backs to us, turned around. When they saw us, they were stunned for a moment, and hurried forward to salute: "Jerry, my subordinate, Ouyang Jianqing, has seen Mr. Huyan."

I waved my hand and said, "Anything you want,"

Jerry, Polo said happily: "Young Master Huyan, I'm so glad to see you here. To use a sentence from the Song people, it means 'Where do we not meet each other in life'?"

"Well, Mr. Jerry, this sentence is used well. In the past two years, your Da Song dialect is completely qualified,"

Ouyang Jianqing said: "Mr. Huyan, Mr. Jerry is about to leave for his hometown, so this subordinate specially accompanied him to West Lake to have a look."

I nodded and said: "Yes, there are still a few days before the big ship will make its maiden voyage, Mr. Jerry, you can finally go home and visit your relatives."

Jerry said excitedly: "Exactly, Mr. Huyan, my subordinates are very grateful to you and Ouyang Jianqing for helping me. When I go back this time, my subordinates will definitely find more talents that you like to come to Lin'an."

"Okay, Mr. Jerry, we are going to Yanfu Temple on the mountain, why not go together,"

"Yes, sir,"

Fang Ling said cheerfully, "Mr. Jerry, although you can understand your Chinese, your tone of voice is weird."

To the Chinese, the tone of Westerners speaking Chinese is quite strange. This phenomenon has not changed since ancient times and has not changed until later generations. After research, people of later generations found that there are two main reasons for it. Western languages ​​only have two tones for light and heavy, while Chinese pronunciation has four tones. There is also a difference in the location of pronunciation. Most Western languages ​​start to pronounce at the small tongue, which is often said to be pronounced later, while when speaking Chinese, they are pronounced at the lower end of the tongue. It is used to pronounce it forward.

For example, when Ouyang Jianqing said "subordinate", the subordinate is the third tone, and when Jerry said "subordinate", he said "under the tree".

Jerry, Polo smiled and said, "Miss Fang, Mr. Huyan, you Han people have many dialects, and what I speak is one of them, right?"

"It can also be said that, Mr. Jerry, you know why you always speak Chinese differently from us,"

Jerry shook his head and said, "My lord, I don't know,"

I told Jerry the two reasons I knew, which was so common in later generations that Jerry and Polo nodded and praised frequently: "Mr. Huyan, I didn't expect you to know this, God, what a god!" man,"

"Mr. Jerry, my dynasty has a vast territory and many ethnic groups. Naturally, there will be many dialects. Just speaking of us Han people, there are no less than a hundred dialects. For example, Ouyang Jianqing's hometown dialect belongs to the Central Sichuan dialect. Ling'er speaks Jiangnan dialect. Although I speak Lin'an dialect, it belongs to Lin'an's official dialect. People who are familiar with it are difficult to understand, and in remote villages, even if there is only a mountain separated, people in the villages on both sides may not understand what the other party is saying,"

Jerry said: "The greatness of the Song Dynasty far exceeds that of my hometown. No wonder this country was honored as the Celestial Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty."

"Mr. Jerry, the Tang Dynasty was strong, and all the surrounding ethnic groups came to pay tribute. In the not-too-distant future, my Great Song Dynasty is bound to do the same. Moreover, not only my neighboring ethnic groups, but also the whole world I know that in the east, there is a powerful and wealthy country named Song Dynasty, "

"Yes, yes," Jerry praised, "My lord, is this subordinate a member of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"The Great Song Dynasty welcomes people from all over the world to come here. Those who agree with our civilization and laws can belong to our dynasty. Mr. Jerry, you are a friend of our dynasty, and you have contributed to our dynasty. If you If you want, you can apply for the official Dasong household registration at any time,"

"Okay, son, when the subordinates come back from visiting relatives, they will formally apply for naturalization of Song Dynasty."

I laughed and said, "Welcome,"

When approaching Yanfu Temple, I put on a mask, and then we walked through a tree-lined path, and a group of seven went straight to the temple gate.

"Brother, although Yanfu Temple is not big, I didn't expect the incense here to be so prosperous, it seems that it will not be lower than Lingyin Temple," Fang Ling said, looking at the bustling crowd in front of the door.

"Well, ever since Monk Lianzhen put up an order to practice medicine here, as long as he is in the temple, many people will come here to ask him to take his pulse. the love of the people,"

"It seems that Master Lianzhen can be regarded as a compassionate heart, which is similar to the charity of our Red Cross Society,"

There is a long queue on the left side of the main hall of Yanfu Temple. According to preliminary estimates, there are about 20 people, all of whom seem to be the surrounding people. There is a young novice on the side of the crowd to maintain order, let everyone line up, one by one. see a doctor.

Following Fang Ling, we first came to the main hall and paid homage to the three Sakyamuni Buddha statues enshrined in it. Afterwards, we took a casual look in other halls and then returned to the left side of the main hall.

"Several benefactors, please line up," the little novice saw the large number of us and mistook us for people seeking medical treatment.

Fang Ling said: "Little master, we are not here to see a doctor,"

"Really, benefactors, please go elsewhere. The master has just returned. In the past few days, there have been many people coming here to seek medical treatment. The place here is small, so don't affect the people who see the doctor."

Fang Ling smiled and said: "Little master, it's okay. We came here last year to look for Master Lianzhen, and we happened to pass by here today, so I stopped by to visit. I didn't expect the master to be so busy. By the way, little master, come here. Are the people who see the doctor here all the nearby villagers?"

"Not necessarily. Last year, the villagers were mainly from the surrounding areas, but since this year, many people have come from Lin'an City. You see, the benefactor surnamed Chen with a child in front is from Lin'an City. A businessman, who is said to be from Chuanzhong, "

"Chuanzhong," I subconsciously followed the gestures of the little novice, and I saw the middle-aged man surnamed Chen with a child, and I asked suddenly: "Little master, besides treating people, Master Lianzhen also treats people. Do you want to see a photo?"

The little novice showed a hint of helplessness and said: "Master hasn't seen a person for a long time. There are too many people seeing a doctor now, so how can we have time? But, having said that, we all like to watch the master look at people. How can it be like now?" , only to see a doctor, we can’t understand what is said about this disease and that disease, it’s simply boring.”

Fang Lingdao: "Compared to looking at the physiognomy, curing diseases and saving talents is more virtuous deeds. It is this kind of virtuous deeds that monks practice. You little master can learn medical skills from Master Lianzhen, won't it be boring?"

"Almsgiver, you don't know something," said the little novice, who seemed to be a talkative person, "Master is just a resident monk of this monastery, and he is absent five or six times out of ten in a year. Even here, he is a substitute. Healing diseases, or presiding over with us, how can you have time to teach us," the little novice sighed, "Dear benefactors, why don't you go to the side room to rest, and I will invite you after the master sees the disease. See you all, master."

"Hehe, no need, little master, you are busy with your work, we will come back another day,"

"That's fine too, benefactors, please go slowly,"

When we turned around and were about to leave, we heard a loud voice coming from Lianzhen's office.

"Mr. Chen, thank you Master Lianzhen. My little baby is basically cured. Baby, come and kowtow to Master Lianzhen."

Fang Ling said: "This man has such a loud voice, Ouyang Jianqing, does he speak your Sichuan dialect?"

Ouyang Jianqing nodded, and was about to answer when Yang Lian Zhenjia said in the same dialect: "Mr. Chen, don't be polite. The poor monk is a monk. Naturally, he should accumulate virtue and do good deeds. This is the daily homework of the poor monk."

After finishing speaking, Yang Lian Zhenjia handed a prescription to the businessman surnamed Chen, and then said, "Mr. Chen, follow this prescription and take it for two more days, and give the baby some more water. After two days, it will be completely healed."

"Okay, okay, Master Lianzhen is really the reincarnation of Medicine Master Bodhisattva, Chen, thank you again," the person surnamed Chen put his hands together, "Master, let's go now."

"Well, go slowly, the poor monk has other guests here, so we won't be far away,"

"Got it, got it,"

Although Yang Lian Zhenjia's voice was not loud, it was clear to us, especially Yuan Ji, Fang Ling, Ouyang Jianqing and others could hear every word.
