Zhou Zhi then told the situation of his godfather and godmother and Mr. Qiao. When he talked about his own situation, Chi Xueli was finally able to help and said that Zhou Zhi's historical essays had been published in "People's Literature".

Hearing that Zhou Zhi had written a poem behind the article, Gu Zhenduo asked Zhou Zhi to write it and read it, and then gave it to Gu Youwen.

Gu Youwen looked at it and said: "The chin couplet has become unconventional, and the tail couplet has not been renovated to highlight it. It's a pity that it loses its meaning."

"Yes, I have to blame Sister Chi for this." The paper seemed to satisfy the two elders. Zhou Zhi stopped being nervous and began to regain a bit of naughty ease. He threw the pot away with a swish: "I haven't even had time to write this poem.

After careful consideration, I gave it to her the next day. Sister Chi did not ask for my consent when submitting the article, otherwise it would not be like this."

"Damn elbow!" Chi Xueli's face suddenly turned red: "I helped you to get guilty?!"

The two elders couldn't help but laugh. Gu Youwen laughed and said: "But the first couplet is indeed very beautifully done."

"Zhou Zhi, please put this paper here. We will read it and give you our opinions." Gu Zhenduo said, "How do you plan to publish this paper?"

"I just want my grandpa and grandpa to see if this matter has any value and whether the research direction is correct." Zhou Zhi did not dare to be arrogant in front of the two of them: "As for publishing, I never dared to think about it before.

"

"To be honest with your level, many of my students are..." Gu Zhenduo shook his head, but finally did not say it out: "In the end, those who know are not as good as those who are good, and those who are good are not as good as those who enjoy..."

"How is your academic performance? Xue Li said that you are only a sophomore in high school, so you still have to pass the college entrance examination." Gu Youwen asked: "Do you have any ideas for the future?"

Zhou Zhi did not dare to look at the two old men. He was so nervous that he only stared at his thesis: "I want...if possible...to study under the two elders."

"This knowledge will be very lonely, very lonely." Gu Youwen did not say it was impossible: "It is common to be on the bench for a lifetime."

"My father did a lot of research during his lifetime. "Guangyun Shuzheng" alone has more than four million words, but it was not published. Zhou Zhi, do you know why?"

"Please give me some advice, Master Zuzu."

"His research on medieval phonology was divided into two stages. In the decades before the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was the collation stage. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that he found that there were too many discoveries in editing "Guangyun", and the collation alone could no longer reflect his own

After understanding "Guangyun", I decided to rewrite it and follow Mr. Huang Kan's suggestion to write "Guangyun Shuzheng". This can be regarded as entering the stage of sparse evidence."

"The reason why he did not publish it is because the more he researched, the more he became afraid. New discoveries were constantly made, overturning the conclusions that he thought were correct before."

"Therefore, he never writes about things lightly. He always feels that his opinions are not mature enough, and immature opinions should not be expressed easily. If he acts hastily, it will definitely hinder future learning and cause adverse effects."

Zhou Zhi was in awe of the older generation of intellectuals who were cautious and rigorous and did not seek fame or fortune: "That's why I want to follow the legacy of my great master."

"There is no shortcut on this road." Gu Youwen said: "Neither Bingwen nor I have a bachelor's degree. Even if you are admitted to Shu University, you have to start with a bachelor's degree in Chinese language and literature. Huanzhang will take you two courses at most. To get there

It’s been six years since he officially joined our family.”

"If I can take care of my studies at the same time," Zhou Zhi was still trying to get lucky, "can I come and help my grandpa and my grandpa sort out the legacy of my grandmaster? I would be happy to be a lackey of the Ivy Sect."

"My father can't afford your high praise, and my son, you can't belittle yourself so much." Gu Youwen said, "Let's just go step by step."

Zhou Zhi lowered his head unconsciously. Even though he was reborn for the second time, he felt very lost and aggrieved.

Trying hard to hold back the tears that were about to fall: "Then I will listen to Master Zuzu, but please Master Zuzu also gives me a cousin letter."

"Good boy." Gu Youwen nodded lightly: "What do you think of the word Dawen?"

Zhou Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this. He raised his head, his eyes filled with hope again: "Thank you, Master Zuzu. This is a good expression. Thank you, Master Zuzu."

Gu Youwen also smiled: "You are really a good boy."

Han Daozhao of the Jin Dynasty, the author of "Five Tones Collection of Rhymes", once made a famous statement: "The rhymes are based on four tones, combined with two tones. If the overlapping rhyme is to make the article beautiful, the rhyme will be as smart as the ancient ears. Or If people don't understand the nature of literature, they will settle on the five tones."

Later generations commented that the book "Five Tones Collection and Rhymes" "inverted the sound keys, which is an ancient example", but at the same time they also pointed out that "there is still a gap compared to other ignorant and arrogant authors."

This means that although this editor used the style of inverting words and buttons when he was editing the book, which was quite unusual, he was at least an expert.

Compared with those who don't understand and write randomly, they still go a long way.

Zhou Zhi has not read this book, but Han Daozhao's discussion on rhyme is a classic quotation in rhyme theory. It cannot be bypassed in any book, but Zhou Zhi also knows it.

Gu Youwen chose the word "Dawen" in this discussion as a word for Zhou Zhi, which not only encouraged him, but also hinted to him that the door is always open, but Zhou Zhi needs to walk through the door step by step.

It was obvious that Zhou Zhi had understood this meaning, which made Gu Youwen feel very pleased.

The time and energy of a great scholar are very valuable, so Zhou Zhi and Chi Xueli did not dare to disturb the two great scholars after leaving their papers, so they left.

"Father, why don't you accept the young talents and raise them?" Gu Zhenduo asked Gu Youwen when he came back after seeing the two off.

He had already thought of accepting a disciple, but he didn't expect his old father to be so cautious.

Gu Youwen sighed: "It's difficult to be embarrassed... He is indeed a young talent..."

"Father, what does this mean?"

"The future of a young talent is unlimited. Will this child's future be spent on a cold bench in the abbot's small study room for decades?"

"this……"

"Although I haven't read the research part of this paper yet, just from this child's fieldwork report, it is enough to get a glimpse of its value. Among the Chinese undergraduates taught by Huan Zhang, ah no, even among the students you taught, there are How many people can make something so solid?"

"Although it is said that first comes first, dialects have inherent advantages, but with so many people in Jiachuan, who would have thought of doing this? Who has ever seen the value of the language they usually use?"

"You also heard what Xue Li said. This kid's three articles were published twice in provincial publications and once in national publications. From the conversation with him, we can roughly know his ancient Chinese literacy and level."

"Such a child will inevitably encounter temptations from all sides and face various temptations in the future. It's really hard to say whether he will maintain his current interests, current ideas, and current direction six years later. …”

"Besides, even if the child doesn't choose to take this path in the end, it will be a pity for us as a family; but for the child himself, it may not be a wise choice..."

Gu Zhenduo couldn't help being silent, and finally sighed: "Let's wait until he is admitted to Shu University."

"Hehehehe... Bingwen, you are in trouble." Gu Youwen shook his head: "Among the Chinese majors in colleges and universities across the country, Shu University is only ranked seventh. Why do you think people will only choose Shu University?"

"Read the paper and see if his level is good enough. Then prepare some books for him according to his level... Well, doesn't this child like poetry? Go and read your grandfather's "Mao Poetry Rhymes" and that

Find the "Collection of Classical Interpretations and Notes" and give it to him the next time he comes."

Gu Zhenduo was surprised and said: "There are not enough collation papers for the books "Yunjing", "Tongzhi Qiyinlue", "Qieyun Zhizhangtu" and "Four Tones Waiting for Zi"?

"I just took a look at the research part at the back. I'm afraid what you said is really not enough." Gu Youwen thought for a while: "But... it's okay to give it to him together."

"Yes." Gu Zhenduo now knew that his father's refusal to let Zhou Zhi sit on the doorstep was not only not a shirk, but an endorsement and expectation. Thinking about what his father said just now, he couldn't help but feel worried.

For a genius to sit on the bench for decades, is it still possible in this day and age?

…

…

After getting in the car, Zhou Zhi's mood was obviously a little low.

Chi Xueli, who was driving, was so confused by the conversation between Zhou Zhi and the two elders behind him that even if he wanted to comfort him, he didn't know how to start.

"Are you okay with your elbow?"

"Ah, it's okay." Zhou Zhi finally regained his composure and said, "Sister Chi, I'm sorry to trouble you today."

"What's the trouble? I've also taken advantage of you." Chi Xueli said, "You can easily see that as the master?"

After saying that, he felt a little jealous: "Isn't your godfather very powerful? It's extraordinary to be able to have a disciple with the first cousin's name from my master."

"My godfather and my godmother are both my idols." Zhou Zhi told Chi Xueli about his godfather: "If a person has enough food and clothing, collects and organizes some cultural heritage, and does research based on his hobbies, just follow me.

It’s the same as it is now, it’s a natural thing.”

"But I'm exhausted all day long just for a few work points, and I don't know if my future will turn around. When I'm still resting in the fields, I don't forget to ask about folk songs, slang, and folklore with the fellow villagers who work together.

…I still can’t figure out what supported him to do that?”

"Anyway, if it were me, I would never be able to do it. Therefore, there is a reason why Confucius loves Yan Hui the most."

"People can't bear their worries, and they won't change their happiness even after they return." Chi Xueli also nodded in agreement: "It sounds easy to say it, but if you think about it again when you are in your godfather's situation, it is really not easy."

"But you are also very good at elbows. The nickname given by my master is Dawen." Chi Xueli added: "If my classmates knew about it, they would be jealous to death."

"That's because my ancestor encouraged me, and it's two different things than choosing a relative to pass on as a disciple." Zhou Zhi shook his head with a wry smile.

"But he didn't reject you either." Chi Xueli encouraged Zhou Zhi: "The second elder's attitude towards you is different from mine, haven't you noticed?"

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh. I'm afraid my sister doesn't even know the origin of my cousin. How dare she dare to have an attitude with the second elder?

Shaking his head: "I have decided that I will enter Shu University and major in archeology and Chinese literature! At worst, I will be a student of Professor Kailai first. I don't believe it. In the end, I still won't be recognized by my two elders!"
Chapter completed!
