Chapter 950 Princess' Study Abroad Life

"These two are new students from our overseas department, Miss Sophia and Miss Selina from the West."

In the classroom of the Overseas Division of the Academy of Sciences, the lecturer introduced Sophia and Sarina, who were temporarily transferred to the original students of the Overseas Division. The original students were surprised and all looked around curiously, wanting to see what the British people look like .

The Overseas Department is targeting people from Japan, Korea, and the newly established three provinces of Nanyang. This is the first time they accept people from the West.Even the lecturers from the Overseas Department were quite shocked when they knew that the two people from Britain were coming in.

From this time on, the Academy of Sciences has become a holy place for studying all over the world.

At present, the most overseas students are the foreign students sent by the shogunate. They have been here for a year, and they have begun to get familiar with the life here, and have basically finished learning Chinese.They knew that there were Western envoys visiting China during this period of time, and seeing Western princesses visiting China, they couldn't help but feel that this place is more powerful, even Westerners want to come to visit and study, at least Dongpu does not have this ability.

In addition to the foreign students from the shogunate, there are also the newly appointed king of Goryeo, Li Mo, and the Korean students sent every year as usual. They maintain a delicate balance with the foreign students from the shogunate.

"Please take care of me." Princess Sofia and Selina came to the Academy of Sciences for the first time, somewhat uneasy.

Also, it is difficult for them to distinguish between Koreans, Dongying people, and people from the three provinces of Nanyang. They are all yellow-skinned and black-haired.

At this time, Sophia and Selina had already changed into the Republic of China-style school uniforms approved by the Academy of Sciences, blue shirts and black skirts, which were unique and made the originally calm overseas department restless.

"Kazuko, please help the two students adapt to life here as soon as possible in the next period of time." The lecturer scanned through the original students and asked Kazuko, who was a member of the foreign students from the shogunate, to take care of Sophia and Sarina.

"Yes, sir." Kazuko said calmly.

Among these people, although Kazuko was an overseas student of the shogunate, his father was a Chinese pirate who lived in Hirado and Nagasaki at that time. He was more fluent in Chinese than the others, and he was a woman. Na two seniors.

"The cafeteria here is so clean, and there are so many people!"

After the morning class, Kazuko took Sofia and Sarina to the largest cafeteria of the Academy of Sciences. They were amazed by the size of the place, which could accommodate hundreds of people eating at the same time.

Moreover, the cafeteria of the Academy of Sciences has a special plate, and there is a complete system for queuing up to order and pick up meals, and everyone is in order.

"Those two are the Western women who were rumored to have entered the Academy of Sciences, right? I heard that after the envoy left the capital, only the two of them and some servants stayed and joined our Academy of Sciences."

"I read the newspaper a few days ago. They are members of the British mission brought back by the seafaring hero Li Jinde. One is a princess and the other is a noble lady. They must be very rich. After all, there is gold everywhere in the West."

"If you marry them, maybe you can live comfortably for the rest of your life."

Some students in the cafeteria saw Sophia and Selina who came to the cafeteria, whispering in private.Quite a few of them believed the records about Li Jinde's adventures and the West in the "Kyushu Daily", thinking that the West was full of gold, and based on this, they speculated that Sofia and Sarina must be extremely rich.

But in fact, the Earl of Greenville did not expect that Sophia and Selina would stay. The cash he brought was not much, barely enough to cover Princess Sophia, Selina and several servants and guards for a year. , or in a relatively frugal situation.

"How many other cafeterias like this are there?" Sophia asked Kazuko who led them here.

"There are four other canteens like this. When ordering food, they will write down the number on your school uniform, and then settle your expenses at the end of each month. In this way, you don't have to pay for every meal. It is cumbersome to carry copper coins every time you eat, and the copper coins after handling are greasy and unclean. The food in the cafeteria of the Academy of Sciences is cheaper than the restaurants outside." Hezi introduced the situation here to the two of them.

Sophia and Selina couldn't fully understand, but they knew that learning to order with their children was all it took.

"I want this, this, and this..." When it was Princess Sofia's turn, she saw that all the dishes were delicious, so she ordered more than a dozen dishes one after another, leaving the masked chef stunned.

Kazuko also looked at Princess Sofia in surprise, is she a big eater?
"Your Highness, our living expenses are a bit tight, we can't spend extravagantly like in China..." Selina hurriedly reminded the princess who had no sense of spending in English.

"I almost forgot..." Princess Sophia reluctantly gave up most of the dishes.

"It seems to me that your Chinese is not fluent." Hezi took Sophia and Selina to find a place.

"Just over a month of learning." Sarina said.

"If you only study for more than a month, it's okay. The most important thing is to talk a lot and not be afraid of making mistakes." Hezi said.

"We'll try."

When the three of them were dining, it was inevitable that some people would cast curious glances at them.

Suddenly there was commotion in the cafeteria, and some students whispered: "Senior Dayuer is back!"

"You mean Senior Dayuer who has already graduated?"

"Yes, look at the queue for food."

Sophia and Selina heard Da Yuer's name, and subconsciously looked towards the eyes of everyone. They saw Da Yuer who was queuing up, and she seemed to be discussing something with a group of older professors in front of her. topic.

"The first batch of graduates of the Department of Economics, one of the legends of the Academy of Sciences, there are still legends about her in the Academy of Sciences. Few people can have experience in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites at such a young age."

"No wonder all the professors in the Department of Economics are dispatched. It is estimated that she will have something important when she comes back to the Academy of Sciences this time."

"It is said that she is not married yet. I don't know who can pursue her. It is estimated that there are very few people who can be favored by seniors. At least you and I cannot be regarded by seniors."

Many people around talked about it. Many of them were about the same age as Da Yuer. However, Da Yuer was very young when he entered the Academy of Sciences. Now it has affected the operation of the country's economy. They are still studying, so the gap is not small.

"Da Yu'er seems to be busy, let's not disturb her." Selina stopped Princess Sofia who was going to say hello.
