When telling stories, Marin specially used the standard "London Sound" to tell fairy tales. After all, the object of Caesar's storytelling was Princess Margaret who had lived in London for a long time, so naturally he could not use other dialects.
For example, although British people can understand Friesian, the difference between them and standard English is just like Mandarin and Helan. If it were adults, they might have a higher understanding and could understand different dialects. But Princess Margaret was only 8 years old and probably could not understand it. Therefore, Marlin specially used the standard London dialect to tell fairy tales so that Caesar could remember it and retell it for Princess Margaret to listen to it.
Fortunately, although Caesar grew up in East Friesland, Marin taught him the standard London pronunciation since he was a child. Even Marin forced the textbooks to teach Friesian and use the London dialect to pronounce them uniformly. The reason for this is to unify the language and facilitate people's communication.
Malin clearly remembers in his previous life, before their young people, those older generations did not have Chinese pinyin when they were studying, nor did they emphasize the importance of Mandarin. As a result, many people only speak dialects throughout their lives. As long as they leave their hometown, they are a little difficult to move forward. Because people who say what they say cannot understand. Especially when northerners communicate with southerners, they are so confused. Even if they are two generations of great men, Xiangpu and Trump, who have strong characteristics in their hometown, sound strange...
In later China, the real progress in the promotion of Mandarin was after the promotion of Chinese Pinyin. The greatest and most useful Chinese Pinyin was actually to strictly regulate pronunciation, not just to facilitate learning Chinese characters. After entering the 21st century, the state forced teachers to teach in Mandarin in class, which made Mandarin completely successfully promoted.
Of course, there are also reasons for Marin's laziness - he directly copied the standard pronunciations of later British English for teaching. In this way, it is very easy to write textbooks.
Although later English is different from that of this era, the accents are basically not very different. At most, there is some grammatical difference. Therefore, there is no problem with Marin using the pronunciation of later English to promote teaching.
The promotion of international phonetic symbols in later generations made it no longer easy to confuse or make mistakes in pronunciation when children learn English (Friesian).
Caesar was a student of international phonetic symbols since he was a child, so he could naturally speak fluent "London sound". During his boating, Marin also used a London accent to tell fairy tales to him to facilitate his memory and retelling...
...
A few days later, Marin's fleet successfully arrived at London Harbor, and Caesar, who had a good memory, also remembered some stories about "Winnie the Pooh", and also remembered fairy tales such as "Daughter of the Sea" and "Princess Pea". But compared to the longer "Winnie the Pooh", the shorter fairy tale of Andersen is obviously better remembered. In addition to some stories about Andersen's fairy tales, Caesar also remembered "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty" in "Grimm's Fairy Tales"...
In fact, during the storytelling process, Marin discovered that it seemed that Grimm's fairy tale was more appropriate. Because the tone of Andersen's fairy tale seemed a little sad. For example, "The Daughter of the Sea" ended very sad. If you tell older girls, sentimental girls might prefer it. However, Princess Margaret is only 8 years old, and obviously prefers happier fairy tales.
For example, "Snow White" and "Sleeping Beauty" in "Grimm's Fairy Tales" both end with comedy results, which is more in line with children's values. Moreover, the endings of both are "the prince and the princess live happily together", which is more in line with Caesar's demands... So, later Marin changed to mainly talk about "Grimm's Fairy Tales"...
...
Before landing, Marin specially dressed up Caesar. For Marin, this visit, it was obviously more important to let his son Caesar attract Princess Margaret.
So, before departure, Marin specially made a set of "battle robe" for Caesar - a golden little crown, a red robe and a cloak...
This image was designed by Marin according to the image of the little boy wearing a crown in the MV of "The Mass" in his past memory. It looks very cute and cute.
However, when making the crown, something went wrong - even the small gold crown was very heavy. Caesar couldn't stand it after wearing it on his head for a long time.
In desperation, Marin had to use the registration - he asked the carpenter to create a small wooden crown, and then brushed it with gold powder (tin sulfide), which became a "golden crown" of Xibei goods. Caesar did not feel any burden when wearing such a small crown. Of course, be careful that the crown cannot fall down, otherwise it must be broken.
After gaining the experience of "falsification", Marin asked the craftsmen to use the same tricks and used wood to create a smaller "sword". The sword was painted with gold paint, which looked very gorgeous. Moreover, the hilt and scabbard were also inlaid with gems - the gems are real and look very beautiful...
Then, a handsome little prince wearing a golden crown, a red silk robe and a silk cloak, and holding a "golden sword" appeared alive on the London pier...
What, do you say that the crown and sword are made of wood and will be ridiculed if you see it? It doesn't exist... Marin has already thought about it - if no one sees it through, then pretend it is true; if someone sees it through, it is said that it is a child's toy...
As for a child, isn’t it reasonable to hold a wooden sword and a toy crown?
...
When Marin walked into the Tower of London Palace with Caesar's hand, Edward and Queen Anna also held Princess Margaret and stood at the gate of the palace waiting for Marin's family.
"Welcome, Grand Duke Marin, welcome to London!"
Marin bowed slightly and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, you are polite. How can I say that, I am also the Earl of Newcastle, and I am also my own. Isn't it reasonable to come to London to meet the king?"
After hearing this, Edward felt very helpful and laughed:
"Yes, yes, you're right, you're not an outsider, you're your own!"
Then, Edward pretended to be intimate and walked into the palace. Queen Anna also took the initiative to greet Angela.
At this time, a situation that surprised everyone appeared - Caesar, who was only 11 years old, suddenly let go of Marlin's hand, came to the 8-year-old little princess Margaret, who was like a doll, and bowed gracefully, saying:
"You must be His Highness Princess Margaret, right? I am Crown Prince of the Grand Duke of Beihai, Caesar von Hoffman, and I am very happy to see you!"
The 8-year-old little princess Margaret was a little confused. She was an authentic little girl. Even if she was a princess, she had just started to receive education (the nobles in this era, like the trainee knights, usually started to receive education at the age of 8. Unlike Caesar, she received Angela's private education at a very young age). Therefore, Princess Margaret was a little confused about Caesar's stiff way of picking up girls, and couldn't help but look at her parents...
Edward was full of black lines - ya, although we had a marriage agreement, it had not been officially decided yet (mainly waiting for the result in France). My daughter is only 8 years old, and your stinky brat started to make decisions? And, I am standing by the side. Are you not afraid that I will beat you if you do this?
However, Queen Anna, who was standing by, had a completely opposite reaction. When she saw the little Caesar who pretended to be elegant, she was immediately turned cute-
"What a cute little boy!"
Then, Caesar's picking up girls was broken. Because Queen Anna had already come up to pinch her face. She didn't touch her head, because Caesar was carrying a fake "golden crown". The "golden crown" has a sharp part, which is not suitable for touching her head...
Seeing that her mother was not angry, Princess Margaret finally calmed down and remembered the court etiquette that the court teacher taught her some time ago. So she bowed her head with her inexperienced court etiquette and responded:
"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness, the handsome prince!"
...
If both of them were adults, the picture might be ambiguous. But both of them were standard little kids, and the scene was indescribable. Anyway, Marin was amused and couldn't help laughing out loud...
Edward was also very happy at the end, and was amused by the two little devils' "pretending to behave". At this time, Caesar waved his hand and asked someone to come over. Then, he took out the "weapon" that had been prepared long ago - the Winnie Bear plush toy, and handed it to Princess Margaret, saying:
"His Highness, beautiful and lovely Princess Margaret, this is my gift to you..."
However, it was different from what Marin and his son imagined. The little princess Margaret, who was still a little girl, was not only not surprised, but was shocked-
"ah--"
Then, Princess Margaret quickly hid behind Queen Anna, and carefully poked her head out to observe the unknown "animal" in Caesar's hand... Obviously, the little girl regarded the Winnie bear doll as a living animal and was frightened...
