Chapter 314 big characters, small characters

It has been 40 years. If Lao Jiu's parents were still alive, they would be in their [-]s or [-]s, right?Better than me, at least I know what my biological parents are. I don’t even know where the hell I come from. The life experience of the old nine also touched my mind. I was a little distracted for a moment. Give me a look: "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing." I immediately covered it up: "I was thinking about what to do with the Khitan characters on the amber silkworm chrysalis."

Not long after the establishment of the Liao Dynasty, two kinds of characters, namely Khitan large characters and Khitan small characters, were created successively.The former was created in the fifth year of Liao Taizu Shenshu, and Yelu Tulubu and Yelulu Bugu were created with reference to Chinese characters, and there should be more than 300 characters.According to legend, the latter was created by Taizu's younger brother, Yelv Diela, and the date of making the characters was slightly later than that of the big characters.It is mainly used for inscriptions, epitaphs, talismans, names of various tribes and villages, and writing poems and translations.After the Jin Dynasty destroyed the Liao Dynasty, the Khitan script continued to be used, and played a great role in the process of Jurchen writing.In the second year of Mingchang Emperor Zhangzong of the Jin Dynasty, the Khitan characters were banned.From its creation to its abolition, it has been used for two to three hundred years. With the demise of the Western Liao Dynasty established by Hara Khitan, it finally became a dead text.

Both large characters and small characters have ideographic and phonetic components, and small characters have more phonetic components than large characters.Neither the large characters nor the small characters have been fully deciphered, and the research of the small characters is more complete than that of the big characters.

Therefore, most of the small characters can be understood, but the big characters are very difficult. Even the top experts in China cannot decipher it. It is really a stumbling block in the history of writing. , Yelang Tianshu, Beiyu Stele, Bashu symbols, Cangjie Shu, Xia Yushu, and Hongyan Tianshu have become unsolved mysteries of the [-]th century.

Lao Jiu touched his forehead: "The death spot."

"No hurry, I'll try to find someone to decipher it." I said, "Even one character is fine."

"Then I'll leave it to you." Uncle Yunfang said, "Well, although the matter is clear, it is still not easy to find your biological parents. I came back this time because of the burial of Master's remains. Alas, Qinghu Maybe it's not the original Qinghu Club, Qiqi, you have a heavy burden, how is the matter of finding a female apprentice?"

"There is no suitable candidate." Seventh Sister said, "There is a long way to go."

"Uncle Yunfang is leaving soon?" Lao Jiu was taken aback: "Do you want to go so soon?"

"My husband is busy with foreign business now, and his health is not good. I always feel uneasy without him." Uncle Yunfang said: "I plan to leave the day after tomorrow. Tomorrow, I will go around the imperial capital to see the old place I haven't seen for a long time." I’m about to say goodbye to you, old nine, the uncle has something to say, your matter is over, and you will no longer be charged with killing the master, when the time is right, go back to Qinghu Society to help Qiqi, the current Qinghu It will hurt soldiers and generals, and we really need someone to help."

Lao Jiu coughed lightly: "It's not that I don't want to go back. I've been out alone for more than ten years and I'm used to it. Now I'm just getting used to living with these two boys. The Qinghu Club is not the Qinghu Club I was familiar with back then. It doesn't make much sense to go back, many people don't mean it's easy to do things, if I go back, the Qinghu Club will mess up, I've already figured it out, I won't go back to the Qinghu Club, but as long as Xu Qiqi gives an order, my old nine It’s going to go through fire and water, and I will not hesitate.”

Uncle Yunfang looked at Seventh Sister and said, "Qiqi, what do you think?"

"It's really embarrassing for Lao Jiu to come back now, and I don't agree with him coming back." Seventh Sister said: "If you can help him on the outside, that's enough, Lao Jiu, I will take what you say seriously."

Lao Jiu put away the silkworm chrysalis and amber, and touched his nose. Seeing his action, I had a bad feeling. He was going to provoke Seventh Sister again, and he would definitely!
Sure enough, Lao Jiu said slowly: "I want to know one thing, Xu Qiqi, what kind of stimulation did you receive overseas to deliberately come back to my army and say that you want to marry the iron hand? Are you out of your mind? ?”

The question is correct, but the question of the method is very big, and the brain is burned out. Seventh sister must be angry.

Sure enough, Seventh Sister swallowed a mouthful of saliva and was about to speak when Uncle Yunfang said, "Old Jiu, Lao Jiu, you just don't understand women's hearts. Why do you think Qi Qi came to find me overseas again? The reason is also to find out Everything about your parents is detailed, don't you understand this kind of thought?"

Lao Jiu was speechless, and Uncle Yunfang said, "I'll answer your questions. It's my idea to marry Tie Shou."

"Master, you..." Lao Jiu was so angry that he couldn't speak: "This is?"

"Qiqi won't marry Tie Shou, but Tie Shou will recognize the reality because of Qiqi's decision." Uncle Yunfang said: "Whether what he has always dreamed of is really suitable, and will Qiqi get it because of it?" Happy, because of this decision, Tieshou will consider it himself, maybe he can take this opportunity to recognize the reality, and you and Qiqi can take this opportunity to figure out their own facts. Now I'm also confused because of emotions, time flies so fast."

Little hairy boy, Mengluo and I couldn't help laughing, Lao Jiu scolded: "Why are you laughing, you are also little hairy children in front of me, especially you, Mengluo."

Meng Luo became the target of attack again, I coughed lightly and said: "Jiang is still hot, Uncle Yunfang is right, Tieshou is very confused now, give him a little more time to figure it out, you see , it stands to reason that he should be very happy, but now he is not happy at all, but thinks that Seventh Sister made this decision very strange."

Seventh Sister's eyes lit up immediately: "Is that true?"

"Of course, that kid still asked us to discuss it. It turned out to be the result of the combination of two women's wisdom." Lao Jiu put his hand on his chest: "I'm scared to death."

Uncle Yunfang said: "I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, you two just let me rest assured, and take this opportunity to finalize the relationship."

I booed and said, "That's right, that's right, you two are old, don't be tense."

Seventh Sister was still hesitating, but Lao Jiu immediately climbed up the pole: "Okay, that's what I mean too, I'm already 41, and I'm one year older in a blink of an eye, Xu Qiqi, I like you, let's get married first, Then find a suitable time to end it?"

What a rough proposal, I had an idea, and said to Lao Jiu: "Lao Jiu, I have an idea, you don't have any flowers, and you don't have a ring, it's too ugly, but you happen to have a pair of things in your hands, and they have a lot of meaning. How about you and Seventh Sister alone?"

Lao Jiu snapped his fingers: "Good idea."

"How can that be? It's a token left to you by your parents." Seventh Sister was terrified but filled with joy from the bottom of her heart.

Lao Jiu told me later that my proposal at that time directly affected his happiness in the second half of the year. He exchanged the most precious thing for the most precious person. Yes, I still don't know where my eight generations of ancestors are...

Lao Jiu couldn't help but take out the pair of silkworm chrysalis and amber, pointed to one of them and said, "I don't know why, but I think this should only be worn by women, and this one is only worn by men, Xu Qiqi, take it."

I said, "There are holes on it, you can use a rope to go through it. I'll go downstairs and look for it."

While the iron was hot, I ran downstairs quickly, rummaged in the antique shop for a while, untied the rope that was originally tied to the jade, took it upstairs, and solemnly passed through the amber and put it in Lao Jiu's hands: "Here, here Seventh sister wears it, and your relationship is confirmed."

Seventh Sister could no longer refuse, or in other words, she had silently agreed to this meaningful gift.

Lao Jiu solemnly put the amber on for Seventh Sister: "Xu Qiqi, this is the most precious thing left by my parents. From today onwards, I will give you the most precious thing in our family. Don't misunderstand, isn't it?" This piece of amber is me, the most precious thing in our family is me, the only seedling."

"You..." Seventh Sister was so shocked that she couldn't speak: "Stop being so talkative."

Lao Jiu looked at Seventh Sister, his eyes suddenly turned red. He took a deep breath and hugged Seventh Sister vigorously. Seventh Sister was still sitting on the sofa at this time, and he didn't know what to do for a while. With those of us watching, she became more and more embarrassed: "Old Jiu, what are you doing?"

"Xu Qiqi, ten years, ten years is too long." Lao Jiu hugged Xu Qiqi: "It's not easy for us, for you, I will definitely save my life in the future."

Seventh Sister pushed Lao Jiu away vigorously, complaining: "What are you doing? Everyone is watching."

Uncle Yunfang said: "Old Jiu, treat us as if we don't exist. If I can see you two consummated, my task of returning to China will be completed. Okay, Qiqi, take me to the hotel."

Lao Jiu will naturally act as the driver. I don't think he will come back soon. After seeing them off, I asked Munro, "What should we do?"

"I'm going to go to the store and see if they have any new stock," Munro said.

Immediately I thought of the ghost buddy. What I have always been curious about is who the owner of the shop is. He actually opened such an unremarkable shop in the downtown area of ​​the imperial capital, and it can also accept credit cards. It is amazing. I decided to volunteer to send Monro In the past, unfortunately, as soon as I walked to the door of the store, I saw a sign hanging on the door-today is closed, come back another day.

"When will you come back another day?" After running away, I was not very happy: "The boss is really unprofessional, at least I have to indicate the time of reopening, don't say anything, the door is closed, I don't want to make money .”

Meng Luo was calm: "It's okay anyway, so come back another day."

"You said it lightly, I won't send you off next time, you come here by yourself." I said: "Let's go, find a place to settle food and clothing."

We were looking for a restaurant nearby, but the taste of ordinary people is generally not bad. Just a few minutes after we walked in, we were looking for a seat when a familiar figure ran over: "Boss Bu, Meng Luo!"

Meng Luo saw the person coming, and his face immediately changed: "Why are you?"
