"At the time, I also asked her about some things," An Jing continued, "Looking at her answers, she was clearly a highly educated woman with a broad knowledge of books. Annotating words and phrases should be no difficult task for her."
"Hmm."
"If she is willing, then including her, we would have found thirty-one people."
"Hmm."

That night, An Jing took a lantern and went to ask Tobanya, who readily agreed.
The next day, An Jing began to annotate the words with phonetic symbols.
Xiao Changyi also helped with the annotations.
On the third day, Meng Zhuqing gathered thirty scholars to enter Prince Yi's Mansion.
An Jing and Xiao Changyi had agreed to set aside a large courtyard for compiling the dictionary, and as soon as the thirty scholars entered Prince Yi's Mansion, Meng Zhuqing led them to that large courtyard.
Due to the status of Xiao Changyi and An Jing, the thirty scholars were all very respectful and nervous, not daring to be presumptuous at all.
