Chapter 395: 'Hanyu Pinyin'
"Brother Nijo, what is this?" In Liu Yiyi's study, Wang Caiyi showed a stack of bookbooks composed of some strange symbols and patterns, and she didn't even know anything about the things written on it, and after studying for a long time to no avail, she couldn't help but ask Liu Ertiao. {First Reading}
"Oh, those," Liu Ertiao raised his head and glanced at it, put down the book in his hand, and replied to Wang Caiyi with a chuckle: "This is the enlightenment textbook that the eldest brother prepared for Xiaohui before, and it is used to teach Xiaohui to read and write." ”
"Oh," Wang Caiyi nodded as if she didn't understand, then pointed to some of the symbols in the book that she looked messed up with, and asked Liu Erjo again, "What are these things, does Brother Nijo know?" ”
"That's natural, this is Chinese pinyin, it's a way for the eldest brother to think of to assist children in reading and literacy, I looked curious at the time, and I also learned from the eldest brother and sister-in-law for a while," Liu Ertiao stood up, approached Wang Caiyi's side, took the thick book in her hand, pointed to the thick book full of pinyin characters, and said softly: "There are a lot of good stories recorded here, do you want me to read it to you, how about it?" ”
Liu Ertiao pulled Wang Caiyi to sit down on the chair next to him, and said warmly.
In the past few days, he has been in the house, either busy dealing with the affairs inside and outside the house, or hiding in the study and studying hard, completely snubbing this little girl who came from Chang'an to accompany him.
"Okay, okay, I like to listen to stories the most," Wang Caiyi sat beside Liu Ertiao, raising her hands and screaming like a child, but after two calls she stopped again, and she looked up at Liu Ertiao. whispered to Liu Erjo: "However, won't this delay Brother Nijo's study?" Or don't you? ”
"It's okay," Liu Erjo looked at Wang Caiyi with a smile, and with some inadvertent actions, he could show the many advantages of this little girl in front of him. Patting Wang Caiyi's head, Liu Ertiao chuckled and said to her, "This won't delay much effort." Besides, I want to spend more time with you. ”
"Really?" Sneaking a glance at Liu Erjo. The little girl's face turned red rarely, and she lowered her head and whispered, "Thank you, Brother Erjo!" ”
"Hehe, okay, let's get started," Seeing Wang Caiyi's face flushed beautifully, Liu Ertiao's voice became more gentle, and the corners of his mouth also brought a slight smile: "The name of this story is called, "Snow White,"
"Severe winter. Snowflakes like goose feathers were flying everywhere in the sky, and there was a queen sitting by a window in the palace, who was doing needlework for her daughter, and the queen was astonished when she heard it, because she knew that the mirror was the prince of the seven dwarfs who did not tell lies."
Liu Erjo is not a very good storyteller, and the plot of the story is completely according to the book, read out word by word. There is not a single note that is wrong, and it feels like it is lifelike. However, because it was the first time to hear such a story, and because the storyteller was Liu Ertiao, Wang Caiyi listened very carefully, and quickly integrated his thoughts and feelings into the storyline described by Liu Ertiao.
It wasn't until Yanagi Nijo remembered that Snow White and the prince had married the end. She hasn't quite broken free from the story yet. also asked Liu Erjo stupidly: "Brother Nijo, do you say this is all true?" ”
"Fool. Of course, these are not true, this is just a story, there are many stories like this, there are many more in this book," Liu Erjo waved the thick book in his hand, and said to Wang Caiyi with a smile: "Let's read the next one, well, the name is "The Story of Avanti". {First Reading}"
"No need, this is too much of a delay in Brother Ertiao's time," Wang Caiyi looked at the bookbook in Liu Ertiao's hand, and said softly to Liu Ertiao: "Brother Ertiao, this kind of Chinese pinyin is not good to learn, if you teach me how to read, I will come and see it myself." ”
Although Wang Caiyi likes the feeling of listening to Liu Ertiao read the story to her, she also knows that it is a critical period for Liu Ertiao to prepare for the next year's re-examination, and she does not want to disturb Liu Ertiao's time to study, and miss Liu Ertiao's good future.
"Huh?" Liu Erjo turned his head and glanced at Wang Caiyi in astonishment, even though Xuan guessed the little girl's thoughts, he couldn't help but smile warmly, maybe this is the reason why he likes to stay with her. "Hehe, Hanyu Pinyin is very simple," Liu Ertiao took out the thin book with letters, biological mother, and finals, put it on the table and opened it, and said softly: "Here are some sounds that record Chinese characters, I'll read them first, and you can read them yourself after a while." ”
When Liu Yiyi first wrote this textbook, he has always used the simplest, fastest and most reasonable way to compile the teaching, so whether it is a child or an adult, it will be easy to get started, Wang Caiyi under the guidance of Liu Ertiao, it only took less than an hour to reluctantly memorize the letters and pinyin rules on the book, and he has been able to initially test the pure pinyin form, reading and writing operations.
"It's amazing!" When Wang Caiyi read through a fairy tale independently, he couldn't help but be sincerely amazed by this Chinese pinyin.
"If I had this kind of Hanyu pinyin when I was a child, I wouldn't have to suffer from my grandfather's ring ruler all day long." Thinking of this, Wang Caiyi's mind burst into inspiration, and he excitedly said to Liu Ertiao: "Brother Ertiao, you said that if we tell grandpa about this Chinese pinyin, will grandpa be happy?" ”
Wang is now the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and he also has the responsibility of being in charge of the etiquette of Datang education, if he knows this method that can make people read and write quickly, it is difficult to imagine how excited he is.
Liu Ertiao nodded lightly and said softly: "Speaking of which, this Chinese pinyin seems to be more useful than the "Three Character Classic" written by the eldest brother before, and Wang Shangshu will be very happy if he knows it." ”
I used to just think that Chinese pinyin is fun, some meaning, very suitable for the little sister to learn to read and write, the people of the Liu family have never thought of promoting it, or have thought of it, but they are too lazy to do it, Liu Yi knows his eldest brother's ability, in the end, this set of Chinese pinyin learning methods, but also for the eldest brother to come up with it.
"If Cai'er thinks about it, when she returns to Chang'an, she will bring it back to Wang Shangshu and his old man," Liu Yiyi chuckled, he didn't care much about these things, if Wang Caiyi liked it, he would take it.
"Hmmm! Thank you, Brother Nijo! Wang Caiyi smiled sweetly at Liu Ertiao, lowered his head again, and read the fairy tales recorded in the book with interest.
"Young Master!" Liu Wuchen screamed softly outside the door, and after hearing Liu Ertiao's response, he pushed the door lightly into the study, bowed down to Liu Ertiao and Wang Caiyi, and said softly to Liu Ertiao: "Second young master, the ancestral hall at home has been completed, do you go over to take a look, if there is no problem, please let the ancestors enter in the afternoon." ”
"Built? Well, I'll talk about it when I go and see," Liu Erjo nodded lightly, put down the book in his hand, turned his head to look at Wang Caiyi, and whispered to Wang Caiyi: "Cai'er will also go with me to have a look." ”
"Well," Wang Caiyi heard this, lowered his head, blushed slightly, and answered softly. I was a little nervous and sweet, I thought to myself, Brother Nijo wanted to take her to the ancestral hall of their ancestors, did this mean?
"Then let's go here," Liu Ertiao stood up, took Wang Caiyi's little hand, and as soon as he came out of the study, Xue Rengui, who had been guarding next door, also stepped up to follow, with the arrival of Wang Caiyi, Xue Rengui rarely followed Liu Ertiao in the house, in order to give this pair of little men and women more space for themselves.
Liu's ancestral hall is located in the middle of Liu's manor, the northwest side of the Liufu compound, according to Mr. Feng Shui, this is a feng shui land, the most suitable to worship the ancestors, build the ancestral hall.
"Young Master, Miss Wang, please come in!" Liu Wuchen led the way in front, pushed open the two doors of the ancestral hall, and asked Liu Ertiao and Wang Caiyi to let them in, because of the requirements of the architectural ancestral hall style, the ancestral hall was a little dark, with red candles as the light, Liu Wuchen took him to the incense case in the main hall of the hall, pointed to the humanoid clay sculpture above the incense case, and said to Liu Ertiao respectfully: "Second young master, this is the statue of the ancestor Liu Mingzong, it is a famous master in the county, according to the portrait left by the ancestors at home. ”
"Well," it is indeed very similar, Liu Ertiao nodded, the portrait of Liu Yingzong, every year at the end of the year, Lao Liu will take it out and let their family take turns to worship, Liu Erjo remembered the appearance of this grandfather, bent over and made a big salute to the clay sculpture, Liu Erjo whispered to Liu Wuchen: "Prepare for a while, and I will personally go to invite the tablets of the ancestors here in the evening." ”
"Yes, young master!" Liu Wuchen bent over and responded softly.
"Also," Liu Erjo looked around in the hall of the ancestral hall, and said softly: "Hang a few more everlasting lamps in the ancestral hall, and then send someone over to take care of them, to ensure that the lights in this ancestral hall will not be extinguished." ”
