Fashen live room

Chapter 46
Peggy's teacher is Benson Carter, who is also an ancient language teacher in the third district. Like Franklin, he is a gray-robed mage.However, unlike Franklin, Mr. Benson’s teaching quality has not been trusted because he has never taught students who can be admitted to church schools. The cheap ones are mostly the sons and daughters of small businessmen or wealthy handicraftsmen who go to school under Mr. Benson.

Like Paige.

The above information is all learned by Norman from Bernie and the others. These guys usually like to discuss their business of "expanding territories" with their fists when they have nothing to do. It was to gain some understanding of their enemies—the students of the other teachers in District [-].

Since Mr. Benson is also a gray-robed mage, Peggy is obviously unable to teach the school's entrance exam. This is probably devastating news for this family.

Norman and Colin's family have also been together for a while, and they know more or less about the situation of this family: Colin is a winemaker, and his wife Winnie is a starcher, and the income of the two is not very high.It is not easy for such a family to provide for Peggy to study in the third district. It can be said that they have tightened their belts in life, and they have given everything to fight for a chance that Peggy can enter a missionary school and change her destiny. Opportunity, but now this opportunity seems to be gone...

They are probably more desperate than Norman now. After all, Norman only started to do this in the past few days, but they have already spent several years on this matter, but in the end it came to nothing.So they must be very unwilling now, like travelers floating on the sea on a stormy night, desperately trying to grab a life-saving straw.

Norman looked at Colin, and saw that the man in his 40s was staring at him, with hope burning in his eyes.

"I'm not."

Norman shook his head, ruthlessly extinguishing Colin's glimmer of hope.

"I'm just a gray robe mage."

He brought up Franklin's excuse-this reason is really useful.

When Colin heard this, he didn't look away immediately, but still stared at Norman stubbornly, as if he felt that Norman was joking with him.After looking at it for a long time, the little flame of hope in his eyes gradually extinguished, and finally he looked back, and silently resumed eating the beans on the plate in front of him.

The same goes for Winnie and Peggy. After hearing this answer, their erect ears drooped.

This dinner can be said to be the quietest meal Norman has had since he came to this tutoring old saying. Just after eating, Colin went out. People, the routine study has started again.

Peggy is a little girl who loves to learn. Norman's enthusiasm for learning in the past made Norman feel scared: let alone those students under Franklin, even he himself does not have the same enthusiasm for learning as Peggy.

This little girl will seize every opportunity to ask difficult questions about learning, and she will treat it with the fullest enthusiasm during class. Her eyes will be shining from beginning to end, and she will eagerly absorb all knowledge.

But today is different.

This little girl who was always full of enthusiasm when she was studying is now withered, quiet and silent, as if she has become a mute, her eyes are not bright, and she is absent-minded.

I have to quickly bring her back to her mind, Norman thought in his heart, otherwise, her learning effect will not be good, and Colin and his wife will be dissatisfied, then maybe he will not continue to teach Peggy...

When this job became the only reliance on Norman's life, Norman couldn't help but think a lot.

bang bang.

Norman tapped the table twice to attract Peggy's attention.After seeing Peggy looking over, he asked, "Do you still remember the ancient music table I taught you yesterday?"

Peggy nodded, "I remember."

"Well,"

Norman ordered: "Recite it again."

He has to let Peggy have something to do, so that Peggy's mind has something to think about, so that Peggy won't always think about the order, so that she can study hard, get the effect of learning, and keep his job .

Peggy is not only diligent and studious, but also an obedient student. After hearing Norman's order, she immediately recited it: "Abushi, er..."

"Ancient pronunciation", the ancient Chinese name "Pinyin", this is something that the Knights Templar taught Norman again.

According to the order of the Knights Templar, in the past two days, besides the ancient language, he also took the initiative to learn some knowledge of the common language from Franklin, such as the alphabet: the alphabet of the common language has 32 letters in total. Thousands of words are the foundation of the lingua franca.After Norman learned the alphabet, he learned another thing before he learned a few words-pinyin.

The Knights Templar extracted the first 26 letters of the alphabet, and marked a set of sounds that are completely different from the pronunciation of the letters. The most amazing thing is that these sounds can mark the accuracy of the ancient language when they are put together according to certain rules. Pronunciation!

The lingua franca and the archaic languages ​​are actually interoperable to a certain extent, which made Norman find it very interesting, and he also learned it with great interest.

For Norman, who has mastered more than 600 ancient languages, mastered the pure pronunciation of ancient languages, and has no stereotypes about the letters, learning pinyin is as simple and smooth as eating and drinking, and he has mastered pinyin in two days Some basic knowledge.

Norman also taught Peggy Pinyin by the way.

There are several advantages to doing this: first of all, a brand-new knowledge of ancient languages ​​that Peggy has never heard of will undoubtedly make Norman's status as a mage more solid; Peggy - this little girl is so stupid, she can't learn a simple ancient Chinese language for several days, and she can't pronounce the pronunciation at all.If she had been taught pinyin, her pronunciation would have been at least a little more accurate, and she wouldn't have worried Norman so much; in the end, if Colin hadn't picked him up on the street, Norman might have starved to death by now, which made Norman so worried. He always felt that he owed the family something.Now teaching Peggy Pinyin, such a unique ancient language knowledge, can make Norman feel that he has really paid for this job, and he no longer always feels that he owes the family something.

Based on the above three reasons, Norman taught Peggy Pinyin.

"...Signing cigarette day."

Peggy finished memorizing the Pinyin table, but the result made Norman think to himself: What did she just memorize?It's fine if you can't pronounce the ancient Chinese correctly, but you can't even pronounce the pinyin correctly?Especially the sound of "Xi" at the end, she was able to pronounce it as "sign", and "Zi" as "日".

Norman took a piece of paper on the table - his teacher never took anything with him, and used all from Colin's - and began to teach.

"You pronouncing a few sounds well, but you pronouncing more sounds wrong, let's learn it again..."

However, it seemed that Peggy was in a really bad mood today, which led to this good girl who had always resisted for the first time and expressed her dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Norman,"

Peggy looked at Norman and said, "I'm just learning the ancient language from you, not these strange things."

Her eyes flickered, as if she still wanted to say something, but she was struggling.

Norman seems to have returned to the scene when he came to teach Peggy on the first day... No, it was more serious than that time. At that time, even if Peggy suspected that he was not a mage, she didn't express her dissatisfaction so clearly. Today is really weird.

What does she want to do?Can't take the entrance exam, so it doesn't matter if she learns ancient Chinese or not, so she plans to drive herself away? ...

Many thoughts flashed through Norman's mind in an instant.

But no matter what Peggy thinks, he will not let her get what she wants.

He can't lose this job.

"weird stuff?"

Norman looked at Peggy and sneered, instead of arguing with her, he just picked up a quill and wrote an old saying on the paper.

The word "Gone with the Wind" is also an old saying that Peggy has been learning recently but always pronounces incorrectly.

Peggy just watched, not knowing what Norman wanted to do.

After Norman finished writing this ancient saying, he wrote a few more letters on it, and then pointed to those letters, letter by letter, and each time he pointed to one, the corresponding pinyin came out from his mouth.

"Po Yiyuan..."

Norman read it several times: the first time, the pinyins were separated and clear; the second time, the pinyins began to move together; the third time, the pronunciation of the pinyins Closer, almost connected together, end to end.

Thus, a tone is formed naturally.

"With the wind."

Peggy's eyes, which had been dazed and flickering, suddenly widened at this moment, her face full of disbelief.

It's like seeing a miracle.
