Hu Qingqing naturally couldn't guess the obscene thoughts in his heart, and seeing that his smile was a little strange, he asked, "What's wrong?" Laughing so weirdly. ”

"Nothing," Guan Zhuofan shook his head, "You'll know at night." ”

This is still a wind sentence, Wan'er doesn't understand it, but Hu Qingqing naturally understands, her face is red, and she says in her heart that she doesn't know what embarrassing things he wants to do at night. So he glared at him fiercely, meaning to reproach him, how could he say such a thing in front of Wan'er?

Guan Zhuofan didn't care about her, thought about it, and asked, "Who did you learn your foreign dialect from?" ”

"It was when I was a kid." Hu Qingqing smiled embarrassedly, "On Brianan Road in the British world, there is a girls' school, which is run by the church, called Wenji Girls' School. There was a Ms. Jones at school who used to come to my uncle's restaurant for dinner. When she saw me, she liked me very much, and wanted me to go to school, and I didn't need my uncle to pay for it. ”

"I see! So you're going? ”

"My uncle didn't let me go, saying that it was a foreigner's school, and I wanted to be religious." Hu Qingqing recalled, "Later, Ms. Jones said that she would not let me join the church, and my uncle agreed to let me go to the class. After listening to this for more than three years, my uncle said that I had grown up and said that I would not be allowed to go again. ”

Guan Zhuofan saw that her eyes were already unconsciously red, and knew that she thought of her deceased uncle again, so she was a little sorry, so she changed the topic: "It's only been more than three years since I learned foreign dialect, you are really ice and snow smart!" ”

Hu Qingqing was praised by him like this, and really smiled embarrassedly: "What kind of smart am I, Wan'er is really smart, it's only been less than half a year." Learns so fast. ”

"Oh?" Guan Zhuofan glanced at Wan'er, whose face was flushed. Asked with a smile. "What do you teach her?"

"When I left school, Ms. Jones gave me two Bibles, one in foreign and one in Chinese. She said that it was not for me to become reliant, but for me to continue to learn foreign dialect in the future. Hu Qingqing said embarrassedly, "I just took two books and read them at each other." Now Wan'er is here. I'll teach her this. ”

Guan Zhuo Fanxin said, this foreign woman named Jones is cunning and great! Mingli said that she would not be allowed to believe in religion, but secretly gave two Bibles to others, so imperceptibly, she slowly did not believe it?

But then again, in this era, there are probably no formal English teaching materials, and comparing English and Chinese Bibles is a good way to learn English.

"I didn't know you had two books like this." Guan Zhuofan laughed, "Let me see if it can be done?" ”

"Okay. It turned out that I was afraid that Master Guan would not be able to read these books. After Hu Qingqing finished speaking, Wan'er had already gotten up very flexibly and ran to the east chamber to get it.

Guan Zhuofan looked at her agile figure when she crossed the threshold, her heart moved, and she suddenly remembered that she had said that she had kung fu on her body, which seemed to be true.

After a while, Wan'er had already come back with two books, gave them to her sister, and sat down obediently on the side.

The book is very well preserved, and it can be seen that Hu Qingqing cherishes it very much, Guan Zhuofan took it from her hand and flipped through it carelessly.

"Qingqing, do you know who translated this book and who printed it?"

"I don't know...... Do you know? ”

"I just know." Guan Zhuofan smiled and closed the book, "Libin." ”

"Mr. Leigh?" Hu Qingqing was surprised and delighted, she didn't expect Libin to have such a great ability.

"It's not that he is alone, but he did it with his teacher, Sir McDox, the chief director of the Ministry of Works." "This was the first Bible to be translated in China, and at that time, they were still in a bookstore called Mohaiyin Library. ”

"Since it was translated by Mr. Leigh, it must be a good book?"

"It's not impossible to compare it to learning foreign dialects." Guan Zhuofan shook his head and said, "But if there is no one to guide you, you don't have to force the meaning of the sentences inside." ”

"How?" Hu Qingqing asked puzzled.

"This is someone else's teaching, profound and mysterious, and if one is not careful, he will go astray." Guan Zhuofan said solemnly, "The long-haired Hong Xiuquan is misinterpreting the scriptures, and you have all seen the result." ”

Hu Qingqing was startled, glanced at Wan'er, and whispered, "So powerful? ”

"Take the sentence you asked me for," Guan Zhuofan picked up a book and flipped through it in his hand, "There is also a saying that when someone hits you on the left cheek, turn the right cheek to him." It means that if you repay your grievances with virtue and turn revenge into hatred with love, the person who is beaten is noble, and the person who beats someone is a coward. ”

explained very well, Hu Qingqing and Wan'er nodded together, both with an understanding look.

"You think you get it, don't you?" Guan Zhuofan smiled, "This is the words in the 'New Testament', but in the 'Old Testament', there is another sentence - an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, an injury for an injury, and a fight for a beating!" Think about it, which one should you hear? ”

The two people who were still nodding their heads were confused again, and looked at Guan Zhuofan blankly.

"That's why I said, you don't have to study the meaning of your words, let alone take it seriously." Guan Zhuofan does have his worries about this, especially Wan'er is still young, don't get on the boat in a daze.

"That means you can't believe a word of this?" Hu Qingqing asked cautiously.

"It's hard to say if you can believe it or not, but the meaning in the book is often not literal." Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly, pointed to the page, and said meaningfully, "For example, the latter sentence - 'If someone takes your outer clothes, don't stop him from taking your underwear', you two, do you listen or not?" ”

Hu Qingqing and Wan'er blushed together, and Wan'er almost buried her head in the bowl.

Guan Zhuofan saw that the two of her were embarrassed, but he couldn't bear it, and said with a smile: "It's a good thing to learn foreign dialect - Wan'er, I'll take the test for you in two days to see how well you learn." ”

"Hmm." Wan'er looked at her sister and replied softly.

After the meal, Wan'er helped the maid who came in and put away the dishes and chopsticks. After a while, he brought a pot of freshly brewed haode tea, poured it for the master and sister, and then hugged the two books and ran back to the east chamber. Leaving Guan Zhuofan and Hu Qingqing, sitting at the table, drinking tea and gossiping.

Such a moment is leisurely and warm. Guan Zhuofan looked around and felt that this main hall was somewhat similar to the mansion in the capital. I don't know if the Bai family and the Ming family are sitting together at this time, eating after dinner?

For Hu Qingqing, he is indeed like Mrs. Luo said, planning to be a "two-headed big", put it in Shanghai, and not see each other in the capital. However, if you think about it again, this may not be a long game, and you will not be able to run around like this forever in your own life?

Thinking about it like this, I thought in my heart whether to talk about the situation in the "Guanjia Mansion" and beat the side drum here in Hu Qingqing. If one day we want to live together, wouldn't it be a beautiful thing if we could live together?

"Qingqing, in a few days, when things in Shanghai are almost done, I will probably go back to Beijing to ask for training."

"Well, I'll look after your house and wait for you to come back." This is a long time ago said haode thing, Hu Qingqing said naturally.

"Speaking of which, the place where I live in Kyori is called ......"

"I know, the Guan family's mansion." Before he finished speaking, Hu Qingqing took over with a smile, "There are two sisters-in-law living together!" ”

Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, I forgot about Zhang Shun, this bastard. Although I didn't believe that Zhang Shun dared to reveal the matter between himself and his sister-in-law to Hu Qingqing, but as a thief, he glanced at Hu Qingqing and saw that she was still smiling, so he put his mind at ease and thought about how to open this mouth.

"Yes, yes, but the situation of my two sisters-in-law is a bit ...... Belch...... It's a little different. He said hesitantly, "My eldest brother has been dead for a few years, and the other sister-in-law, Ming, has also been widowed ......for a long time."

"I know," Hu Qingqing whispered, "I've always respected them. ”

You know? Guan Zhuofan was overjoyed. In the end, these words are really hard to say, no matter how you say it, now Hu Qingqing has such an expression, then she will avoid her embarrassment, and she is really virtuous.

"I've really wronged you!" Guan Zhuofan said movingly, "After all, if I am transferred back to Beijing in the future, I will always take you back, and I will inevitably live together." If I don't make these words clear to you in advance, it will be a little embarrassing to meet when the time comes. ”

"Why are you worrying, didn't you just say that? I get it. Hu Qingqing said shyly, "The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, I will serve her as my own mother." ”

Guan Daren choked on a mouthful of tea in his throat and coughed loudly.
