Chapter 98: Communication
The third more
Qingyu smiled, that was the minister's wife in Guangzhou, and she also brought in the credentials and asked her to forward them to His Majesty the Emperor. ~Sui~Dream~Small~ Say~ั~Suimะตng~Lฤ Of course, when he said it, he couldn't help but complain about the Governor Ye. Qingyu accepted the national letter, and the others didn't speak.
The Minister Lady of Guangzhou looked up at Qingyu, and she noticed that when the lady who understood Chinese had not finished translating, she had already smiled at herself, and she seriously suspected that Her Royal Highness the Imperial Concubine might have been able to understand what they were saying.
Qingyu slowly listened to the interpreter's words, smiled deeper, and looked at the interpreter, "You are very good, it is already good to be able to learn like this by self-study." โ
"Xie Niangniang!" The interpreter was moved, and his heart was about to break when he was pointed at by Qingyu just now, but he still forced himself to translate well. Unexpectedly, the mother didn't pay attention to those few people and talked to herself first.
"Really, it's very good to be able to learn like this on your own, go back and have someone find you a few books, and you can officially learn it." Qingyu nodded, reassured him, and looked back at the others.
"Hongu is very concerned about the problem of communication, and many things can only be communicated clearly under barrier-free conversation. For example, you don't know Chinese characters, we don't understand English, and we can't sign even a contract properly, right? Who's right? Build a school where you learn your culture, your language, your writing. Significant! Qingyu said it was still gentle and drizzly, even if they couldn't understand what Qingyu said, they were very eager to know what she was talking about.
This time, the translation is much better, and it seems that people still need to be encouraged.
And the lady also translated it back, and both sides translated it at the same time, and everyone listened very carefully. But the problem is that after they listened, Qingyu talked about building a school for a long time, and they were all at a loss. However, it doesn't matter, they believe that they will know the result when they go back.
They drank tea and quit. I didn't stay in the palace for half an hour, but it was enough.
And the interpreter was left behind, and Qingyu wanted to know how he learned it.
"The villain just learned from the foreign adults, and he desperately remembered every word and word by himself, and went back to mark it with Chinese characters." The man was a little shy.
"You don't know their words?" Qingyu was stunned for a moment, a person who couldn't write at all, but he could speak, listen, and speak. I grew up with a standard education, although I know that there are students who are not very good at learning will also mark in Chinese. But people are marked on words. Think, "That person wrote them out and taught you, can you learn faster?" โ
"I don't know, the villain looks at them writing letters, and the words are very strange." Interpreting is a bit tangled.
"That's someone who is familiar with it, and we can't recognize our cursive writing in general?" Xingzhen finally spoke.
"You're right!" Qingyu thought about it, but she was really obscure, "You gather the interpreters, find a pastor to learn, and when our school is opened, you will be the teachers of the Chinese side." โ
"Do you want to be a school for interpreters?" That one didn't know what Qingyu wanted to do.
"I don't know, let's do it first." Qingyu was still smiling, making people wonder what she was thinking.
"My sister wants to run a school where foreigners can learn things?" Xingzhen waited for the interpreter to leave before she asked sideways. At this time, Qingyu was already removing her makeup, washing her face, changing her clothes, and lying crooked on the soft couch in the study.
Xingzhen looked at Qingyu's face was not bad, they actually met every day, she felt that Qingyu's face had always been good, I don't know why, she was taken off the green head card for so long. I just recently put the green head card back up.
However, she has also seen it recently, there is something different in the palace, and she can't tell where it is different, but this order makes her feel uncomfortable.
But her biggest problem is that she doesn't know what Qingyu is doing. Yes, now she feels that she is becoming less and less confident, and this kind of IQ pressure makes her miserable.
"Actually, it depends on what these British people think, and if you are smart, you will know what I mean." Qingyu smiled, this is the pain of Madame's diplomacy. They are the microphones, and the person who speaks is behind them.
"What do you mean?" Xingzhen thought about it for a while, but didn't understand.
"It means compromise, we are compromising with the British." Qingyu smiled bitterly, looked at Xingzhen, and thought for a while, "Xingzhen, what do you think will happen to us in the future?" โ
"In the future?" Xingzhen was stunned.
"Yes, our future." Qingyu looked at this girl who could be written into the history books in the future, did she know that she would be written into the history books and become the actual empress?
"What can it be, is it possible, can we still get out?"
"Yes, we want to get out, maybe it's just to die and be carried out." Qingyu smiled and looked out the window, and she could see the cloister outside, and there was a small bonsai outside the cloister.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xingzhen felt that Qingyu seemed a little pessimistic, and she coincided with Qingyu who was not allowed to go out of the gate of Chuxiu Palace.
"It's okay, I've been forced to read so many books lately, and it's actually annoying me, right?" Qingyu looked at Xingzhen and sighed lightly.
"No, I felt very stupid before, and I didn't see anything when I read a book." Xingzhen hurriedly smiled, "But my sister's health has become so bad, but it's because it's too hard?" Is there anything you want Xingzhen to help with? โ
Qingyu smiled, looked at the sky again, and thought, "You are in charge of the school, my idea is that in addition to learning languages, I also want them to learn something else." For example, medicine, you know that I am not in good health, and I want to train more doctors, regardless of Chinese medicine or Western medicine. โ
"Yes!" Xingzhen nodded, at this time, she only needs to have something to do, and it will be done. As long as you can help Qingyu do things, you can get the emperor's appreciation, which is enough.
"Go back and think about what you should do, is it okay to have a charter for three days?" Qingyu doesn't have to think about what she thinks, no matter what, as long as she can open her mind a little, she will achieve her goal. Can you break up some things and talk about them? It's not clear either.
When Xianfeng came back in the evening, he happened to hear her talk about meeting the foreign wives, and thought about it for a long time, "Why did you think of setting up a foreign language school?" You think it's important! โ
"I don't want to run a school, but compared to the fact that they let us open the port, it should not affect the courtiers' perception. I said that I paid for it privately. When you arrive, you will say that this is my private business, and it will be done. Qingyu smiled and said softly.
"It's good to just say no." Xianfeng frowned, opening more ports is what these people have been asking for, and there are also embassies and the like. These things cannot be discussed in the court. But from Xianfeng's heart, he didn't want to agree.
"What we mean when we see them is that we want to talk, and when we can't beat them, we are willing to talk. It's not for the courtiers to talk, but for us to talk about it ourselves. Your Majesty, our biggest problem now is that we don't have the talent to understand foreigners! We need people who really know these people to help us talk. What the opening of the port means to us, to them. And they want us to set up consulates for each other, and we need to know what that means. โ
