Chapter 740

Because the Miao people do not have any writing, they cannot write their own Miao surname. In their communication with the Han people, they can only use the original Miao surname, or the names of clan leaders and household heads, and evolve according to the transliteration of Chinese characters.

For example, among the Miao people in Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan, the Miao surname is called "Sogu" or "Kuagu". The Chinese characters are transliterated and the surname is "Gu".

There is another saying that "officials establish surnames."

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, after some Miao leaders surrendered to the court, the court and government would give them surnames with Chinese characters.

However, because the families in a Miao village are very complicated, there may be several Miao surnames corresponding to the same Han surname.

For example, in a Miao village in southern Yunnan, all villages are surnamed Bai, but there are as many as eleven Miao surnames!

Obviously, simply using the Han surname cannot distinguish the various families. Therefore, in Miaojiang, the Miao surname is basically used within the village, and the Han surname is only used for the outside world.

Seeing that Xiao Yun was confused and thinking about something, Chi Hong didn't dare to interrupt him, so he just sat quietly.

Until Xiao Yun came to his senses and gestured to him to continue speaking, he said: "After Hu Qingshi was expelled from Miaojiang, he wandered around. Finally, with his own skills, he made some achievements in Zhongyang City."

"Oh?" Xiao Yun glanced at Chi Hong curiously.

"That guy not only knows witchcraft, but also proficient in Feng Shui. At that time, Mr. Qin searched for masters everywhere in order to rebuild his ancestral tomb. After several introductions from friends, he met him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yun held his chin and thought for a while. He thought that Hu Qingshi could be prosperous in Zhongyang, and that he should be able to see Feng Shui for these high-ranking aristocratic families.

Chi Hong took a sip of tea and asked suspiciously: "Master, why did you know that this person is here?"

Xiao Yun then looked at him and said, "Actually, I left Zhongyang this time, and the convenient place I want to go to is Miaojiang. Old Qin was worried that I would not have any advice when I got there, so he said that he wanted to invite this 'master' for me to go with me."

"puff!"

Hearing this, Chi Hong hurriedly covered his mouth and almost sprayed a mouthful of tea.

He wiped his mouth and said in surprise: "Please go with him?! Damn! Master, you are not interested enough. That old man is in his 80s this year. Do you rather take him there than me?"

"puff!"

This time it was Xiao Yun's turn to tea.

What's the thing?

Qin Jingshan wants to invite a "master" who goes to Miaojiang with him. He is in his 80s this year?!

Then his grandma's go to the ball?!

A Wu Fenglai in his sixties and a Hu Qingshi in his eighties, is he going to the 100,000 mountains in Miaojiang to find a way to crack witchcraft? Or is the Sunset Red Older Tour Group?

No, he has to have a good talk with the old man!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yun couldn't sit still and got up to call Qin Jingshan.

Seeing this, Chi Hong quickly struck while the iron was hot, and leaned forward and said, "Oh, master, why don't you take me with me! I promise, I will take you and that 80-year-old Hu Qingshi!"

Xiao Yun glanced at him sideways, his grandmother, why does this sound so awkward?

It turns out that in the eyes of Chi Hong, he is also at the level of an old man?
