Chapter 1147 - 970, Captivating
"Look, this is the ’Dictionary’ annotated by your elder brother."
After several months of work, Yan Wenxiu had marked all of the characters in the ’Dictionary’ used by Daxia literati with phonetic annotations.
Daohua glanced through it casually and asked with confusion, "Why are you showing me this?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Wenxiu’s intention is to have you check if there are any mistakes. If there aren’t any, he is ready to send this ’Dictionary’ along with the phonetic chart to Beijing."
Hearing this, Daohua felt a bit of a headache coming on: "Such a big book, how long will I need to check it?"
Xiao Yeyang, with a smile, pinched Daohua’s shoulder: "Can’t be helped, both Wenxiu and I are your disciples, and no one else knows this phonetics system. It has to be you who checks it."
Daohua, a bit deflated, remarked: "Am I making trouble for myself?" Though she complained, she still asked, "Is it urgent?"
Xiao Yeyang chuckled: "No rush, take your time. After a while, I plan to have Wenxiu return to Beijing to personally meet with His Majesty the Emperor Uncle and report on the phonetics system."
"Perhaps with this ’Dictionary’, I can even attract a group of talented individuals to Xiliang."
Saying this, he shook his head and sighed, "There are simply too few erudite scholars devoted to teaching and nurturing students in Xiliang."
