Chapter Forty-Five: Puyu Still Needs Jade
Little Alice stopped talking, and there seemed to be a hint of expectation and disappointment on her thin face.
Rosen was slightly stunned: 'What, have I forgotten something?' ’
He pondered what he had said to little Alice, and suddenly he remembered the promise he had made to little Alice this morning: 'If you can read these words, I will reward you.' ’
The little one was the most playful age, but because she was sick, she had to stay in the cellar all day long, and now that she had something to do, she must have been devoted to it, and she did not know how sad she would be if I broke my promise. ’
Rosen remembered that he was very naughty when he was a child, and in order to calm him down, his mother often wrote him blank checks, which he would soon forget afterwards. Every time he looked forward to the reward, when he was disappointed in the end, he didn't mention the uncomfortable feeling in his heart.
'Hey~ There are too many things, and I'm too busy and dizzy. Fortunately, it's not too late to remedy. ’
Thinking so, he suddenly patted his forehead, turned around and walked up to little Alice, squatted down and asked, "Little guy, do you remember the words you learned in the morning?" ”
"Remember~Remember~" Little Alice instantly smiled into a flower.
She jumped up happily, turned around, ran back to the bed, carefully took out the parchment given by Rosen from the bedside, and ran back to Rosen: "Brother, do you see what I read correctly?" ”
"Read it."
Little Alice pointed to the imperial writing on the paper with her little fingers, and read word by word: 'Mother, father, brother, sun, moon, grass, .......'
Rosen listened intently.
He found that little Alice's voice was immature, but her speech was very clear, and the syllables she pronounced were quite standard, which made people feel very pleasant to listen to them. What surprised him even more was that little Alice read more than a dozen words in a row, but there was no mistake at all.
You know, Miss Mary is illiterate, and in this secret wine cellar, there is no one to instruct little Alice, and Rosen is sure that he has only taught him less than 10 minutes, and he has only read each word three times at most.
After reading it three times, it was clear that Lawson could explain that he had excellent short-term memory ability, not many such people, but definitely a lot, and people with this ability often have poor long-term memory.
But now, after a day, and no one in the middle to correct it, little Alice can still remember and understand accurately, which is beyond Rosen's expectations.
You can learn this after teaching it once. The so-called genius is probably like this. Rosen thought with some envy.
On Earth, he is also a top student, but he knows best that he can get excellent results, mainly because of his unremitting efforts, compared with those real geniuses, his brain is not much stronger than ordinary people.
Then he thought, 'If he hadn't met me, this genius would have fallen before he was six years old.' Even if I meet her, if I just cure her illness and no one will cultivate her in the future. When she is lucky enough to grow up, I am afraid that she will also be lost to everyone. ’
According to the fate trajectory of ordinary women in this world, such a talented and intelligent little girl will become an ordinary peasant woman when she grows up, dealing with dirt and feces all day long, and there are endless housework every day. If you're unlucky, you might marry a drunk, have a dozen children, and maybe die in childbirth when you give birth to a certain child. Even if there is no difficult birth, if the drunk has a bad temper, he will be beaten often.
When he thought of this, Rosen felt very sorry in his heart.
'Hey~ Since such a genius let me get lucky, if I don't cultivate it carefully, I will always be unwilling! ’
A few minutes later, Alice finished reading, more than 30 imperial texts, and not a single mistake. She looked at Lawson, with a hint of anticipation in her big eyes, and a hint of apprehension.
Rosen reached out and gently touched the little guy's hair, smiling and appreciating: "Very good reading." Little Alice works hard, and her brother will fulfill his promises. ”
He reached into his belt bag and pulled out three blank pieces of parchment, a small bottle of ink, and a quill pen. He took the quill and wrote about 100 commonly used imperial characters on a piece of parchment, and then he handed little Alice the parchment, quill, and ink: "Alice, give, this is my brother's gift." ”
Little Alice froze, in her heart, quills, parchment, and ink were all very precious and sacred existences, things that only those noble lords could have. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to have it.
For a moment, she was at a loss, and she looked at the quill longingly, and then turned to look at her mother, Mary.
Mary was stunned.
She could already see that Rosen was teaching little Alice to read. Like little Alice, she never thought that this would happen, and when it came to the end, she didn't react much better than her own daughter.
Rosen walked over, put the quill in little Alice's hand, and smiled, "Take it, this is a gift from my brother to you." ”
"Thank you...... Thank...... Brother. Little Alice looked at a loss, but her little hand subconsciously clenched the quill.
"Come, I'll teach you how to write." Rosen shook little Alice's hand.
At this time, Mary finally reacted, and she said in a hurry: "My lord, no, this ...... The gift is too valuable, you saved our life, this is already a great kindness, we can't ask for your gift anymore, we ...... We can't afford it. ”
Rosen shook his head and said seriously: "No, compared to little Alice's talent. My gifts are just for the decoration of immaculate gemstones. ”
"Yes...... But my daughter is just ......" She wanted to say that her daughter was just a farmer's daughter, and she could live a peaceful life, literacy was too luxurious, too far away, and they really couldn't afford it, but when the words came to her mouth, she saw her daughter's longing eyes, and as a result, she couldn't say the last few words.
A thought that made her feel greedy and transgressive came to her: 'This is the end of my life, and I am not happy...... Why does my daughter have to live a hard life like me? Since she has this opportunity? Why should I block it? ’
The thought loomed, not very clear, but it was enough to silence Mary.
Now that the situation was completely beyond her knowledge, she panicked and didn't know what to do.
On the other side, Rosen began to teach little Alice to write.
After teaching all 100 imperial characters how to write them, he watched Little Alice write them again, and then he corrected some of Little Alice's mistakes before letting Little Alice write them.
Little Alice's performance is still very good, no matter how difficult the words are, as long as they are corrected once, they will never make mistakes again.
Rosen heartily appreciated: "Very good. Next, Alice, you need to write these words skillfully and memorize how to read them. Tomorrow night, my brother will continue to check. If it is well written, my brother will also have a reward. ”
"Okay, brother!" Little Alice nodded earnestly.
By this time, Lawson was also tired, he yawned and said, "Then you have a good rest, and I will go to sleep first." ”
He was busy all night last night until dawn, and he didn't rest during the day today, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he staggered back to his room, and as soon as his head stuck to the pillow, he fell asleep.
The night's dream was sweet, and the next morning, Rosen woke up, only to feel that the tiredness of his body had disappeared, and his energy was almost overflowing from his body.
"Hmm~ I should start preparing bullets for my big troll."
