Chapter 953 Three Character Classic (one more)
"Although their side has very advanced technology, not everyone is correct, and some people will inevitably talk nonsense." Princess Sophia complained about what happened just now, without thinking too much, in her opinion Maybe Darwin was a madman.

Selina is a little preoccupied. Many things she has seen and heard here have subverted her worldview and values. She is frightened but also excited, wondering if she is deviant.

Li Jinde noticed Selina's abnormality while having dinner, and found her a little absent-minded, and couldn't help feeling strange.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Jinde asked with concern.

"No... nothing." Selina replied in a trance.

"Today is your first day in the Academy of Sciences, how do you feel?" Li Jinde asked.

"Very good, but it's a bit different from the world I used to know." Selina said.

"We in the East pay attention to practicality, and learn what is useful." Li Jinde didn't know that Selina's ideas had been challenged unprecedentedly, and his casual words also greatly touched Selina.

"The people here are really interesting. Is it possible that as long as it is useful, you can accept any ideas?" Selina asked.

"It can be said that, but not necessarily. We will also consider our own tradition." Li Jinde shook his head.

"So that's how it is..." Selina was thoughtful.

After the two of them finished their meal, Li Jinde ordered the hired servant to clean up the dishes, and walked around the yard alone.Recently, he was involved in the preparations for the establishment of the Western Trading Company. Things were rather cumbersome, and Selina's distraction during the meal made him a little worried.

"Shopkeeper, I heard that there are many young talents in the Academy of Sciences. They may be government officials in the future. Could it be that Miss Sarina has taken a fancy to the young talents among them? That's why she often loses her mind when eating?" When Li Jinde When I asked a few of my subordinates for their opinions, I got such a guess.

"It's not impossible... If it's really like this, what should I do?" Li Jinde was a little anxious.

"As long as the shopkeeper cooks raw rice and cooked rice, isn't he not afraid of her running away?" the subordinate replied.

"How can this be done? The media must be married." Li Jinde said seriously.

"I'm just saying that, but there are many talents in the Academy of Sciences who are similar to Miss Sarina's age, the shopkeeper must be careful." Several subordinates said to Li Jinde.

"Why do you guys have a crow's mouth today?" Li Jinde didn't care much on the surface, but he was very entangled in his heart.

He has been busy preparing for the establishment of the Western Trading Company recently, what if someone really took advantage of the situation and abducted Sarina?Do you really want to do what your subordinates said, cook the raw rice and cook it?

No no no.Li Jinde shook his head, and gave up the idea of ​​living on the edge of evil.

"The shopkeeper is really annoying. It seems that we still need to stimulate him again. If it doesn't work, let the shopkeeper's mother from Xiamen City come over. If Aunt Li knows that the shopkeeper is hesitant, she will definitely lock him and Selina in the room Inside, they will never come out until the work is done." An apprentice saw that Li Jinde was clueless, so he said to the others.

"In the beginning of human beings, their natures are inherently good. Their natures are similar, their habits are far apart..."

When Li Jinde returned to the door of his room, he heard Selina reciting the Three Character Classic.This may be one of the enlightenment books of Chinese studies. Li Jinde himself had to learn to recite it when he was a child, and he still clearly remembers every sentence in it.

Li Jinde waited patiently for Sarina to read the "Three Character Classic" a dozen times before walking in.Although she began to read intermittently, after getting the phonetic notation, her pronunciation gradually became more accurate, and her reading became more fluent.

"Are you here?" Selina was sitting beside her own bed, only three feet away from Li Jinde's wooden bed.

Originally, when the two were sick, Xiao Xiuer let them live in the same room temporarily in order to see the doctor at the same time.Later, after the two recovered from their illness, Li Jinde's apprentices and sailors would squeeze him into the guest room without saying anything, so the two of them lived together for no apparent reason.

"This is the homework assigned by the Chinese lecturer to me and Her Royal Highness the Princess..." Seeing Li Jinde coming in, Selina hurriedly explained because she was afraid that he heard her reading outside the door just now.

Li Jinde saw that her face was glowing red under the candlelight, and he didn't know whether it was the reflected candlelight or shyness.

"The Three Character Classic can only be understood if you understand the allusions behind it. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask me directly. I knew this stuff by heart when I was young." Li Jinde said.

"Cai Wenji, can distinguish the piano. Xie Daoyun, can chant. Cai Wenji, Xie Daoyun, are these names?" Selina asked him.

"Yes, these two people are well-known talented women in ancient times. One can distinguish the sound of the piano, and the other is good at poetry and poetry. That's why the following sentence 'that woman is smart. You man, be a policeman', that is, even if the woman is Being so smart, you can't fall behind as a man, you have to work hard to learn." Li Jinde explained.

"Can you tell me the story of the two of them?" Selina gestured for Li Jinde to sit next to her.

When Li Jinde talked about the familiar "Three Character Classic", he suddenly became interested: "Cai Wenji was a talented woman in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, who was once captured by the Huns..."

"Which period is the Eastern Han Dynasty?" Selina asked.

"The Eastern Han Dynasty is about 1400 to 1500 years away from now. If you look at the phrase 'Guangwu Xing, the Eastern Han Dynasty' in the "San Zi Jing", you can understand that Emperor Guangwu established the Eastern Han Dynasty." Li Jinde tried his best to explain.

"At that time, our west seemed to be in the period of the Roman Empire. I don't know whether the Eastern Han Dynasty or Rome was strong?" Selina asked.

"Rome? Are you talking about the Great Qin at that time?" Li Jinde knew that there was a powerful country in the West in the Han Dynasty that was officially called "Great Qin".

"As for Xie Daoyun's experience is also legendary, she was the niece of a prime minister in the Eastern Jin Dynasty..." Li Jinde introduced Xie Daoyun to Sarina.

"Which period is the Eastern Jin Dynasty?"

"..."

Li Jinde introduced the history of Huaxia to Sarina as briefly as possible under the Chinese ability that Selina didn't understand.

The two talked for a long time, so that Selina finally fell asleep leaning on Li Jinde's shoulder.

"Later, Xie Daoyun married Wang Ningzhi, the second son of Wang Xizhi, but their married life was not happy..." Li Jinde was still talking, and finally found that Sarina had fallen asleep.

"Why did I just talk on my own for a long time." Li Jinde had no choice but to lay Selina flat on the bed, and then covered her with a quilt.

From the beginning when Li Jinde taught her to speak each word, and now she can barely communicate, Li Jinde feels that it is not easy. The Chinese language and the historical allusions behind it have a long history. Don’t say that Selina is a Briton, even ordinary people in China may not be able to write. , can read, and understand the allusions behind it.
