At this time, Gu Jin secretly thought to himself, what Nicole said was good, but he talked with the people around him in a few words, and according to his own life experience, he could roughly see that these people in front of him were a group of people who were relatively easy to communicate, and everyone's personality belonged to a more easy-going, sunny or cheerful type, in short, they were more comfortable to get along with.

Gu Jin knew that this was by no means an accidental phenomenon, and he firmly believed that Nicole must have conducted some kind of personality screening on the participants when forming the group of traversers, of course, he would not find fault with this.

At this time, Gu Jin saw that the communication between his wife and daughter and the people around him was becoming more and more enthusiastic, so he stepped aside and looked around.

He found that most of the people in this house were young people in their twenties, except for a few middle-aged uncles who looked to be in their thirties and early forties, and there were also a group of half-grown children who looked like high school students.

However, there was also a group of people sitting on the other side of the oval conference table: a group of younger-looking women, in their early twenties, who would certainly not be over thirty in age if rounded up.

Near them, there was another group of young people, including Quan Zhenhai and Zhou Yuye, who had just met when they introduced each other, and in terms of age, they were all in their twenties and less than thirty years old.

At this time, many people's eyes were also looking at Gu Jin's side, and when they saw Gu Jin's eyes sweeping over, several of them immediately got up from their chairs and came over to greet him.

"Captain Gu, I've heard the name for a long time, I'm Zhu Beiguo."

This fair-skinned, long-skinned young man with a pair of silver-rimmed thin-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose immediately came over and stretched out his hands to hold Gu Jin's hand and shook it vigorously.

"Oh, Zhu Beiguo, I just heard a brief introduction from Nicole, saying that you have a lot of experience in sailing. Well, I've heard that there are a lot of people in this room who volunteered, including you, and I'd love to hear your story. ”

Gu Jin responded to Zhu Beiguo with a smile.

"Let me first state that the sailing experience or something, in front of the great god Captain Gu, is not worth mentioning, but when it comes to the process of participating in the crossing, it is indeed quite legendary, speaking of which, I and Sun Lao Xu Zhi and several of them are volunteers, well, this is a long time, I will talk to you in detail later......"

This young man named Zhu Beiguo looks to be in his twenties, with a medium-sized thin silver-rimmed glasses framed on the bridge of his nose, and a scholarly temperament. Gu Jin nodded, then changed the topic and asked Zhu Beiguo:

"I heard you've ever sailed an island hop on a dhow?"

"Yes, it's just an amateur, because the family has a little money, and I don't have any burden, I joined the Sailing Association in college, and I went to the nautical school for a few months, and then I bought a racing boat for the competition.

Hey, it's just the nature of playing tickets, I did drive a dhow around Hainan Island, and I didn't sail on the shore, but the deep sea has never run, according to my experience, if I really want to go out to sea, it will be death, so I hope Captain Gu can be my master and give me training. ”

Zhu Beiguo hurriedly shook his head, waved his hand, and explained with a smile.

"Oh, yes, in short, it's much better than ordinary people, as for the training, it's really right for you, our group of people really need to participate in some navigation training, oh, by the way, I heard that there is also a ...... named Xu Zhi."

"Captain Gu, I'm Xu Zhi, a student at the Foreign Language College, and the situation is similar to Brother Zhu in terms of navigation, we met each other in the Navigation Training School."

A young man next to him who was a little shorter took the initiative to stretch out his hand to shake Gu Jin's hand, and then said with a smile:

"In the future, I will ask Captain Gu and the three brothers to give me a lot of advice, I really want to sail after the crossing."

"Yes, I also think, because we are going to the Age of Discovery, well, the specific time period should be the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the era of the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and driving a sailboat is a skill that can make a difference!"

Zhu Beiguo also followed Xu Zhi's words.

"Listen to Nicole, it was three hundred years ago, and there were about fifty years of positive and negative errors, Xu Zhi, since you are a top student at that famous foreign Chinese university, then in addition to your mother tongue and first foreign language, you should also have a second foreign language, right? Learn to sail and learn to sail, but don't really waste your foreign language skills! ”

At this time, Gu Jin responded with a serious face.

"English and French? Anyway, I can deal with listening, speaking, reading and writing, but we are a foreign language, after all, it is not a native language, and I am worried that the time gap of these three hundred years may abolish my foreign language skills......"

"Is it that serious? However, I know that modern Chinese is very different from the Tang and Song dynasties, and as for the Ming and Qing dynasties, they should be able to communicate, but there is an accent problem......"

Gu Jin responded.

"Captain Mingjian, this is your native language! If you are not your mother tongue, you may be a little blind, but in fact, language has a strong characteristic of the times, and there is a slight interval between time, and they are the same as chickens and ducks with each other, right? ”

Zhu Beiguo, who was next to him, nodded when he heard it and said:

"In short, for you, the mother tongue is easy to say, anyway, it has been passed down all the way, and I am not afraid of a long time, I can understand some of it, and the foreign language may be a little uncomfortable, what is the difference between English and French in that era and now, I really haven't understood it as a history major."

……

"Can you read Shakespeare's plays?"

Coincidentally, at this time, in the women's circle not far away, a beautiful girl holding the hand of another temperamental beauty was also discussing the topic of foreign languages.

"Shakespeare's plays? It seems to be different from modern English......"

The temperamental beauty responded.

"Your husband is also from a foreign language college like you?"

The pretty girl asked again.

"It's not a husband yet, it's just a boyfriend......"

The temperamental beauty lowered her long eyelashes and said.

"Hey! What kind of husband and boyfriend do they have to cross together? Are you going to ......?"

"No, no, it's just that I'm not used to this kind of title, Sister Xia, I think the name of my husband is particularly ugly......"

"It's really ugly......"

So the conversation between the two girls became more and more whispered, until Wang Xue and Du Na joined the conversation with the other two girls......

"Yes, we have to travel through the seventeenth century, the language of that era is still very different from the present, including the Chinese accent, and there was no Mandarin in that era, listening to the Han people at that time speak Chinese, I guess it is the same as listening to the book ......of heaven."

At this time, after listening to Xu Zhi and Zhu Beiguo's narration, Gu Jin also frowned, nodded in agreement.

"We have a solution to some of your troubles, if you are willing to attend a language course in the seventeenth century, we have information on French, Spanish, and even the Mandarin of Nanjing in Chinese."

At this time, Nicole said without knowing when she appeared behind them.

"Good! Maybe that's the way to go, we've seen Nicole's brainwave training class......"

At this time, several young people next to him came over and said.

"You're learning taekwondo, which is ...... different thing than a language class."

Zhu Beiguo looked at Tian Jiali and responded with a smile.

"Oh, then I don't know, Captain Gu, my name is Wang Qi, he is Tian Jiali, Lin Lu, Li Guorui, anyway, we want to follow Captain Gu and a few of you brothers to learn to sail, don't forget us when you want to train!"

It was Wang Qi who said this, he looked at Gu Jin with a look of hope in his eyes, of course, including the three sworn brothers next to him.

When Gu Jin heard this, he immediately smiled and nodded at Wang Qi and the others, obviously he was happy with Wang Qi's statement, and then turned back to Zhu Xu and the others and said:

"Well, to be honest, these young people are worth training, as for Xiao Zhu Xiaoxu and the two of you, you can also strengthen your training, but after all, you are older, not to mention that you both have your own majors, I think it is impossible for you to specialize in sailing, you have your own expertise, and sailing should be a side hustle, right?"
