Chapter 51: The Problem of Recognition of Words

How to save the emperor's gift? This is a question!

As two young men who traveled through time and were not natives of the Tang Dynasty, this is a technical job. The key to the problem is that the two of them do not understand the requirements of etiquette.

"Do you take a bath with incense and change your clothes, and then put it on the altar? Or wrap it up layer by layer, and hide it very respectfully like a treasure?"

Wei Chi thought he was very serious and said, but what he got was the beautiful sister's rolling eyes. Xie Jiu said, "I don't know, how about the same treatment as the imperial edict?"

By the way, the Wei Mansion had already received several imperial edicts. Wei Chi had no choice but to slaughter the sheep, so he nodded in agreement, put the calligraphy and paintings together with the imperial edict.

When he put it away, Wei Chi went to see his collections and carefully took care of them. In order to collect these calligraphy and paintings, he specially asked Kong Yingda for advice on methods to avoid destroying these treasures due to inability to protect them. The scholars have more or less collected several calligraphy and paintings at home, and it is most appropriate to ask them for advice. Mr. Kong and Wei Chi are still in a bit of friendship. After Wei Chi asks for advice, he has given me some careful guidance. Wei Chi feels that he has benefited a lot and is very grateful to Mr. Kong.

Looking at the collections, Wei Chi was very satisfied and his eyes narrowed. Xie Jiu smiled when he saw it, and couldn't help but push him, and said with a smile: "Are you daydreaming again?"

Wei Chi said: "This is not called daydreaming, it is called having a dream. Do you know? Daydreaming is not all useless. Didn't Newton just daydreaming to make a law of gravity? Maybe it was when he was daydreaming, he was hit in the head by an apple and was stunned for a moment. Then he felt that the earth had gravity, so all the apples would fall, and then there was the law of gravity!"

"What kind of fallacy are you doing!"

Xie Jiu was so amused and laughed. Wei Chi thought it was funny and then laughed. After sorting out the collection, he walked out of the collection room and saw Zhaodi's happy smile and the face of their Qiqi in her arms. When Qi Qi saw her mother, he naturally stretched out his hand to ask her to hug her.

Xie Jiu took her and hugged her, kissed her, and asked Zhaodi a smile: "What's wrong? I'm so happy? Have you encountered any good things?"

Zhaodi smiled and said, "Madam, master, the lady can count, she can count until twenty."

"Really? Come on, daughter, count it for dad. If you count it correctly, you will get a prize!"

After hearing this, Wei Chi started teasing his daughter. Qi Qi was a villain and actually knew the conditions: "Dad, eat Bingbing!"

Wei Chi had no choice but to say: "Okay, as long as you count correctly, Dad will do it for you right away."

So the little man began to count with his fingers. He didn't have enough fingers, so he counted all his toes. After counting, he looked at his father with a smile on his face, and of course, the father was complimenting without hesitation. However, he understood why his daughter only counted twenty, because the fingers plus toes were only twenty, and it was obviously not enough to count down.

With this enlightenment, a dad was in a profound and unfathomable state and rubbed his chin and said, "It seems that if my daughter wants to learn to count more than twenty, she has to have more fingers and toes, otherwise she might stay at twenty. It's a pity for the child."

Xie Jiubai glanced at him, ignored someone's crazy words, and walked away with the child in his arms, leaving a sentence: "You promised Qiqi that you want to make shaved ice for her, so you can't miss the appointment!"

After the Taizu Adult ordered, Wei Chi could only go to the kitchen to work and work hard to make shaved ice for his children. By the way, if there was no shaved ice machine, he wanted to eat shaved ice, that was a physical job. Men had the obligation and awareness to take the initiative to contract physical jobs. Come on, work hard!

"Xiao Che'er is coming back soon, Brother Zhao knows?"

Holding the child, he went back to the inner room with Zhaodi. On the way, Xie Jiu remembered Wei Che's recent letters and asked Zhaodi with a smile. Zhaodi nodded shyly and whispered: "Li'er has received his letter and told me."

Xie Jiu smiled slightly and stared at Zhaodi. The child was said to have grown up when she watched him grow up. Now he is a graceful little girl. Although she is still small, with big eyes and sharp chin face, the childishness and youthful atmosphere on her face are no longer visible. Xie Jiu smiled and said, "When Che'er comes back, I will marry you."

Zhaodi was surprised and happy, staring at Xie Jiu blankly, wanting to laugh, but tears flowed down. Xie Jiu patted her face and said softly: "Silly child, can I be a very harsh person on weekdays?"

Zhaodi shook his head quickly, and Na Na didn't know how to respond. This child is an honest person, diligent in doing things and speaking. Compared to Li'er's ambitions, he seems too simple, but it is more reassuring. Therefore, when Wei Chi was tied up, Xie Jiu transferred her back. With Li'er, he had more people and easier things. After all, Mrs. Liu is getting older and less energy than before. It is obviously not enough to have only Li'er to share the burden.

Seeing her appearance, Xie Jiu couldn't concentrate on her work today, so Zhu Xiaoxiao asked her to go down and rest. When Wei Chi came back, she talked to Wei Chi about the marriage for Zhaodi and Wei Che. Wei Chi had no objection. These children had basically lost their relatives. Zhaodi was sold to wealthy families by her parents since she was a child. She sold her as a dead contract. Now she doesn't even remember who her parents are. Wei Che has no relatives except for a sister Lier.

After thinking about it carefully, it seems that in the Wei Mansion, there are many people who have no relatives and no reason. Just like Wei Chi and Xie Jiu, they are all rootless people, which makes people feel sad. Wei Chi said: "The Erhu has set a precedent before. In the future, there are people in the mansion to get married or something. Let's take on part of it. No one has any relatives, so it's better to have a lively job, after all, it's a happy event."

Xie Jiu followed and became one of the unwritten rules of the Wei Mansion. The difference between ancient society and modern society was very big, with a strong emphasis on promises and trustworthiness, benevolence and righteousness, and the people were simple. If anyone had a poor reputation in business and people, it was very likely to be despised by everyone. It was a very likely thing to lend money and property just because of his good reputation. There were also many things that could lend money and property to others. In ancient times, such people were called gentlemen. The style of gentlemen has existed since ancient times.

After saying this, looking at her daughter who was smiling innocently and brilliantly in her arms, she kissed her saliva on her face. Wei Chi laughed and played with her daughter while saying, "Madam, should our children be enlightened and educated?"

Xie Jiu was stunned and let his son go over and asked the two siblings to be together. The couple stared at them carefully. Xie Jiu said carefully: "Qi'er and Lin'er are over three years old. As usual, they should have enlightenment and education, but will it be too hard?"

Wei Chi understood what Xie Jiu meant and felt a little nervous. When he was not a parent in the past, he looked at other people's children and started the so-called enlightenment education at a very young age. He started practicing violin, piano and so on at a very young age. He felt very pitiful. He felt that their parents really didn't love their children, and it would be so hard to be so young. Now it's his turn... Wei Chi and Xie Jiu looked at each other, and a sentence surged in his heart - people are in the world, and they can't help themselves.

People are like this. When you are watching from the side, you don’t care about your words. This is what is the saying goes, standing without pain in your back. When you are truly involved, you can understand the helplessness of the person involved. If you make a choice, you must have a reason to make a choice, but the person who is not in it doesn’t understand.

It is not an exaggeration to describe the problem of children's education and parents' choices, but it is afraid that they will do something wrong and affect the future of children. This is the helplessness and test of parents.

Wei Chi considered on the one hand that if the enlightenment education is not done, the child will fall behind others in the future and affect the child's psychological growth; if he does it, it will add burden to the child. Whether to do it or not is a problem.

Seeing Wei Chi having a headache, Xie Jiu smiled and said, "We are not deliberately adding burden to the child. Isn't it enough to consciously guide him during play? I don't teach you something too profound, just some basic things, mainly focusing on cultivating interests. This is how my brother's children are."

Well, Wei Chi and Xie Jiu have no experience as parents. This is the first time. In addition to feeling the stones across the river, they can only learn from other people's experiences. The couple, who were the first time as parents, began their first enlightenment education for their children tremblingly.

When it comes to enlightenment education, the first thing that comes to mind is Chinese Pinyin. Now in the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to learn foreign languages. It is a happy thing. As long as you learn Chinese characters well, you will become. The parents of children do not expect their children to be called great poets in the future. As long as they can inherit their family business and support themselves well, they will become. The so-called knowledgeable and well-informed, first of all, you must recognize the words and count them clearly, but don’t have to count them to twenty. After the child’s father and mother discussed this, the important task of making Chinese Pinyin pictures fell on the child’s father, and the reason was that those who are capable should work harder.

So, the child's father, who could not find the cardboard piece, simply asked someone to cut two bamboos, cut them into thin pieces, and then used a brush to write the Chinese pinyin letters on it. However, which letters of the Chinese pinyin are from?! The past is too long and I don't use them much, so the child's father can't remember them completely. So, the enlightenment education preparation activity was stuck at the beginning.

As the saying goes, there are many people and many powers, and as the saying goes, the people have endless powers. Wei Chi decided not to have a headache by himself, so let everyone have a headache together. So Wei Chi came to Xie Jiu, and there was no way to not look for her. In the whole Tang Dynasty, they were time travelers, looking for others, and they didn’t understand the Chinese pinyin.

"Is Chinese Pinyin?! Is it 26 letters?"

As Xie Jiu said, he picked up the brush and wrote it down on the paper according to the memory. Wei Chi was confused when he saw it. Even if he couldn't remember it completely, he wouldn't be mistaken. It was obviously twenty-six English letters, not some Chinese pinyin letters. Wei Chi sighed: "Madam, our children need to learn Chinese characters, not foreign languages. Foreign languages ​​were not popular in ancient times. Are you sure you want to add a burden to your children?"

Xie Jiu blushed when she was said, lowered her head and groaned for a few times. She pushed the brush directly and said angrily: "Then you want to go by yourself, don't ask me again, I just remember these."

Wei Chi shook his head and sighed: "It's pitiful, the child was not born by me alone, I actually asked me to be responsible alone, alas!... Oh, don't act, women should be gentle, do you know? Oh my god, okay, okay, I think about it myself, just put away the English letters."

As he said that, but, just by comparing Xie Jiu's English alphabet, Wei Chi remembered a few of them. Compared with what he wrote, he always felt that he was not complete. He had to think about it carefully. He was really embarrassed that guy. At such a young age, he still had to try to recall the learning content of the preschool class. Unless the guy is a computer recorded on the station, it would be really not easy to remember. However, as long as you are interested and think about it carefully, most of them can still remember it. After all, we have been speaking Chinese for so many years.

Speaking of recognition of characters and enlightenment, Wei Chi specifically went to Kong Yingda for advice and asked him what methods they used to educate children. By the way, there was no Chinese pinyin in ancient times. How could one word be read correctly? Besides, he and Xie Jiu spoke modern Mandarin, not the current Tang Dynasty Mandarin. The Chinese Pinyin taught also the pronunciation of modern Mandarin. It is another problem to ask children to learn the pronunciation of the Tang Dynasty Mandarin version or the pronunciation of the modern Mandarin version.

Knowing Wei Chi's purpose, Kong Yingda was very happy. He politely welcomed Wei Chi into the house and said with a smile: "Master Wei, when we do enlightenment education, we usually use the anti-cut method to teach students to recognize words."

Anti-cut method?!What's that thing?!

Wei Chi's face was probably full of questions, and he looked at Kong Yingda with a look of knowledge, which made the old man laugh and explained: "The so-called anti-cut method is to use two characters with similar pronunciations, and the combination is the pronunciation of new characters."
