Chapter 4 The Old-Fashioned Girl and the Pearl Man
"Counselor Ji, wonderful, really wonderful, your eloquence is even better than several excellent teachers in our school. When Ji Mingzhe walked out of the classroom, the director next to Mr. Principal took the lead in exclaiming, "There are very few lecturers standing on the podium who can interact with students to such an extent, and the classroom atmosphere is so enthusiastic." ”
Ji Mingzhe smiled and nodded in thanks, and then the principal reached out and shook hands with Ji Mingzhe, and said, "It's better to see than to hear, Counselor Ji surprised me very much." ”
Ji Mingzhe tried hard to restrain himself from laughing like a dog's tail flower, from childhood to adulthood, he heard more praise today than the previous twenty years combined.
Li Xiuai looked at Ji Mingzhe, who was greeting Mr. Principal at the door, poked Xu Zhuxian on the side and asked, "Who do you think he looks like?"
Xu Zhuxian raised his head and looked at Ji Mingzhe, and after looking at it for a while, he asked, "Like whom?"
Maybe he noticed something, Ji Mingzhen at the door glanced back at the classroom, and happened to meet Xu Zhuxian's eyes, and then Xu Zhuxian lowered his head, and Ji Mingzhen continued to talk to Mr. Principal.
"This may be the first time you'll see each other, and it's the last time. Xu Zhuxian, who was sitting in the seat, looked at his friend and said mercilessly, "Recognize the reality, don't always be a nymphomaniac." ”
Hearing Xu Zhuxian say this, Li Xiuai turned her head to look at her angrily and said, "Look, look, this is what a member of a girl group should say, originally I was worried that you would be bullied if you entered the group, but now it's okay, I have to worry about whether your sisters will be bullied by you." ”
This student with a fleshy face and bright eyes turned out to be the artist who had debuted in the director's mouth.
Ji Mingzhe wanted to ask which celebrity was the one he could meet, but he didn't expect the students' enthusiasm to ask questions beyond his imagination, so he gave up.
Li Xiuai chattered a lot, but it was obvious that Xu Zhuxian didn't listen to it at all, her eyes were on Ji Mingzhe, who was talking to the principal at the door, and after tilting her head, she lowered her head again.
This man makes sense when he speaks, but when I think about it, it seems that he didn't say anything.
What does it mean to do what you want, where are such casual people in this world?
Or are you this kind of person, Xu Zhuxian raised his face again, looked out of the door, but found that it was empty, he was slightly stunned, and then shook his head.
"In the afternoon, I have to follow my sisters to the show, and please Xiuai to help me write down my homework. Xu Zhuxian turned his head and said to Li Xiuai, "I will invite you to drink milk tea." ”
Li Xiuai returned to her seat and waved her hand casually: "Okay, okay, you see you like this every time, it makes me feel as if I take advantage of you." ”
"Isn't it?" Seo Joo-hyun asked, "You also know that I don't know those seniors at all, but that's it, you still urge me to ask for their autographs, and sometimes I'm also distressed, Xiuai-san." ”
Li Xiuai blinked awkwardly, she felt that her friend could not be a diplomat.
will offend the dead.
Xu Zhuxian refocused her attention on the textbook in front of her, she knew that she was not a smart student, and even if she studied hard at the beginning, she could only rank second in the class.
But she didn't want her grades to look so ugly, so even after her debut, Seo Joo-hyun still kept a lot of time to spend on her studies.
She is not as free and easy as several sisters in the team, and Xu Zhuxian still misses college very much.
Even if she knew that no matter how hard she tried, she would not be able to get into the relevant majors of diplomats.
Diplomats are dreams, but it seems that they can only be dreams.
Today's children are too smart and precocious, how can they really start to do what they want to do because of Ji Mingzhe's few words?
The first meeting between Ji Mingzhe and Xu Zhuxian indicates that the two will have nothing to do with each other.
If nothing else.
Ji Mingzhe's debut was a surprise for many people, including Mr. Principal, the principal of this school.
After leading Ji Mingzhe into the office and making a cup of hot tea with his own hands, Mr. Principal loosened the buttons of his suit jacket and sat down, looked at Ji Mingzhe and nodded and smiled: "I can't hide it, although Secretary Zhang is on the other end of the phone with a package ticket, I am still a little uneasy." ”
"But it turns out that Counselor Ji is really an excellent diplomat. ”
Ji Mingzhe responded with a very reserved smile, but his heart was already happy, he was so happy, he had waited for so long, he finally had the opportunity to let people praise himself, and in the face of Mr. Principal's unstingy praise, Ji Mingzhe accepted all the orders, and the more he looked at this unattractive Mr. Principal, the more pleasing it was to the eye.
Mr. Chancellor looked at the young diplomat in front of him, remembered what he had just said to his students, and a trace of doubt appeared in his heart, so he asked, "Counselor Ji, I have a question. ”
Ji Mingzhe likes this principal very much now, so he said with a smile: "Mr. Principal is polite, just tell me if you have any questions." ”
Mr. Principal nodded and said, "Counselor Ji's understanding and definition of culture just now is very novel, but what he said to the students just now is too general, of course, they are still young, even if they are all good students with excellent character and learning, it is impossible to understand the meaning of Counselor Ji's words. ”
"But they're thinking, and I'm thinking, what exactly is culture?"
This young man was waiting for me here, Ji Mingzhen thought about it, and replied: "In my opinion, culture is words, books, and poems. ”
"It's the food we eat every day, the clothes we wear, the words we speak, and all the things that belong to a people themselves. ”
Ji Mingzhen paused, and then said: "I have to admit that our country has begun to regress backward in this regard, I know that your country has not reached the festival of heavy dà, or the children get married, they will wear their own national costumes, but in our country, there are very few, and we can't even see our own clothes. ”
"Even nowadays, some ignorant young people will recognize Hanfu as a kimono. ”
"I have to say that this is a dereliction of our job. ”
Mr. Chancellor pondered and asked, "So what do you need to do as a cultural counselor?"
"There were so many that I didn't even know how to start. Ji Mingzhe looked at Mr. Principal and said, "But after 5,000 years, our culture is still there, so I think even if another 5,000 years pass, Han culture will still be there." ”
"Why?" asked Mr. Headmaster.
"Because of pride. Ji Mingzhen said.
"Proud?" Mr. Headmaster was puzzled.
Seeing that Ji Mingzhe no longer spoke, Mr. Principal immediately fell into contemplation again, as a high-ranking official, his family was prominent, this Mr. Principal received the best cultural influence and education since he was a child, and when he grew up, he went abroad to study, and even stayed in China for a long time.
He's a very emotional man, which is why he's obsessed with things that seem a bit old-fashioned.
"I've been to a lot of big cities in your country, not just the capital and the ones that you all know. Mr. Principal said with emotion, "There are many old places that I have been to. ”
"If Counselor Ji wants to ask me what I think, it will only be shocking with two words. ”
Looking back on his memory, those magnificent palaces, those famous mountains and monuments, and those flavors that have been precipitated over countless years made Mr. Principal quite admired.
"I've been to countless places, to countless cities worth visiting, but the only thing that has impressed me is the treasures of your country. ”
"I'm really shocked that the years are so terrible, and they haven't worn away those people and things. ”
Ji Mingzhe's thumb and fingers rubbed each other gently, silently, you must not speak at this time, you must be calm, you must pretend to be forced, if you don't pretend to be forced at this time, you are simply uncomfortable.
The principal got up, led Ji Mingzhen to the desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, skillfully sharpened the ink, held the pen, looked at his semi-finished product and said: "Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" is only 5,000 words, and I can memorize it all when I am twelve years old, but until now, I still can't write well. ”
Mr. Principal handed the brush to Ji Mingzhen and said to him: "Secretary Zhang told me that Counselor Ji's beautiful calligraphy is unprecedented in the entire embassy. ”
Ji Mingzhe felt that he came out to pretend to be forced today, studied hard for many years, and suffered a lot of hardships in the cold window, isn't it just to pretend to be as casual and free as today!
Mr. Principal had already copied the fourth chapter, Ji Mingzhen took the brush and dipped it in ink, and wrote it down.
The road rushes to use it, or it is not profitable.
The abyss is like the sect of all things.
Frustrate its sharpness, resolve its disputes, and its light, and its dust.
Zhan Xi seems to exist.
I don't know whose son is the first of the emperors.
Ji Mingzhe was reciting and writing at the same time, Mr. Principal used regular script, so since Ji Mingzhe also used regular script.
Comparing the two, the stark contrast is immediately apparent.
It wasn't until a piece of rice paper was written that Ji Mingzhen stopped, and the principal on the side looked solemnly at the words under Ji Mingzhe's hand, and then looked at the ones he wrote at the beginning, in comparison, his own words were as hideous and ugly as a reptile.
When Ji Mingzhe put down the brush, Mr. Principal applauded and exclaimed: "Beautiful, really beautiful, except for a few calligraphers I know, I have never seen anyone else who can write as good as Counselor Ji." ”
The principal is a loyal fan of Han culture, especially calligraphy and food, and for him, it is definitely much happier to know a friend who writes well than to give him an honorary title from the Department of Education.
Since he was a child, Ji Mingzhe has been trained in various skills suitable for communicating with various high-end talents.
So he can play the piano, he can do calligraphy, and he can do many, many things.
Not only to do it, but also to do it well.
At first, Ji Mingzhe swore that he would refuse, because that kind of life was really hard.
After looking down at the rice paper carefully for a long time, Mr. Principal straightened up, looked at Ji Mingzhen and said sincerely: "If you have the opportunity, you must invite Counselor Ji to come to my house to have a look, my father is also a calligraphy lover and has collected many masterpieces." ”
"Definitely. Ji Mingzhen nodded in agreement.
