Reborn Almighty Scholar

Chapter 143 Professor Wu

"This is Dai Yu, my junior high school classmate and the best friend I made with Zhu Sha." Ma Xiaolong introduced Dai Yu to his uncle.

The uncle looked at her and said with a smile, "Don't tell me, she really looks like Lin Daiyu."

Dai Yu: "..."

"It's Dai on behalf of the representative, Yu next to the jade character." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile, "But Zhu Sha and I usually call her Sister Lin."

"Such a Dai Yu? Hehehe, it's interesting." The uncle laughed.

"This is my god-sister Chen Jun. She is proficient in singing and dancing, and she will definitely be a big star in the future." Ma Xiaolong introduced Chen Jun, holding Chen Jun's hand.

"Really?" The uncle was very surprised: "The little girl is so powerful? You have to sign me in a while, and when you really become a big star in the future, my autograph will be worth a lot of money."

Chen Jun blushed, and said embarrassedly: "I will work hard."

Seeing that she looks like a fairy, but speaks in a naive way, my uncle laughed: This girl is a bit interesting.

……

In the kitchen, my aunt and uncle were very surprised to see Ma Xiaolong stir frying dishes with deft hands and feet: "Xiaolong's skill is good! It seems like a restaurant chef."

"It's okay." Ma Xiaolong smiled: "It's just that the conditions at home are a bit rough. If it's in a professional kitchen, I promise to give you a whole table full of Chinese and Chinese to try."

"Hahaha, okay, we're looking forward to having a full banquet in the future."

While joking, the stewed octopus made by my aunt and the seven dishes and one soup fried by Ma Xiaolong were served.

Seeing this table of food with all kinds of color, fragrance and shape, my aunt and uncle were about to drool, and the uncle said: "Such a good meal, it's as high as two taels."

"I'll get the wine." Auntie went to the bedroom in the north room to get a bottle of white wine. It wasn't a good wine, just ordinary Niu Er.

"I'll drink some too today." My aunt is also a woman who can smoke and drink. She didn't dare not to smoke because of the arrival of a few children before, for fear of smoking them, but drinking is fine. Drunk, just right.

Just as everyone was seated and preparing to eat, the doorbell rang.

The aunt was stunned, and got up to open the door: "Who is here at this time?"

After the door opened: "Oh, isn't this Teacher Wu! What brought you here?"

"Hehe, my daughter-in-law has something to go out, and I have nothing to eat! Can you come over and grab a meal?" A middle-aged man who was not very neatly dressed and wearing black-rimmed glasses walked in. Professor Wu of chess.

"Guess what? Coincidentally! My nephew just cooked a good meal today, you are lucky today." The aunt happily let Professor Wu in, and when he walked into the room, Professor Wu saw this A few of the most beautiful girls and boys were stunned: "Did I come here by accident?"

"That's what you said, Lao Wu, sit down quickly and have a drink with me." The uncle asked the aunt to bring over the stool again, a round table is just right for eight people.

"Master, girls, this is amazing, Professor Wu from the Department of History of Peking University. Xiaolong, if you want to go to Peking University, you can find Professor Wu in the future. If you can't do big things, you should be able to do small things." The uncle introduced to several children.

"Hi Professor Wu." Ma Xiaolong nodded with a smile.

"Hello." Professor Wu is not very good-looking, but he is very bookish. At first glance, he looks like a person who has been buried in papers all year round. He turned to his uncle and asked, "Is this your nephew?"

"How is it? Is he handsome?" the uncle showed off.

"Handsome." Professor Wu said with a smile, "Poke the appearance, no matter how you look at it, it has nothing to do with you."

"Nonsense!" The uncle rolled his eyes: "My daughter-in-law's nephew, it's over if I look like me."

"Hehe." Professor Wu smiled, and glanced at the girls present: "Who are these little girls?"

"My nephew and daughter, my nephew's daughter-in-law, my nephew's classmate, and my nephew's god-sister." The uncle said, "You can't remember anyway, so don't ask."

After you have finished talking, what do you mean by asking me not to ask?
Professor Wu was speechless: "Old Li, the cultural level needs to be improved!"

"I have to improve." The aunt handed over the stool: "I haven't studied for a few years since I was a child, and I can't even read all the words."

"Thank you sister-in-law." Professor Wu took the stool, sat down, looked at the table full of dishes, and said with a smile: "I will make up for Lao Li's cultural lessons later, and today's meal will be used as tuition fees!"

"That's a good relationship." The aunt sat down cheerfully, and said to everyone: "Don't just watch, move your chopsticks!"

"Come on!" The uncle picked up the chopsticks and said to the children: "Don't be shy when eating at home. You should eat and drink, and I won't greet you." After finishing speaking, he took a chopstick first Spicy Chicken.

"Huh~spicy! Enough strength! Old Wu, you also try my nephew's skill." The uncle was sweating profusely in an instant.

"Okay." Professor Wu brought Mushu meat with chopsticks, and his eyes lit up: "Hey, it's really good! It tastes better than restaurants."

"Really? I'll try it." Auntie rolled a Beijing sauce shredded pork: "Oh, it's delicious, it's delicious."

"..." Seeing that Uncle and the others really didn't treat themselves as outsiders, the girls relaxed a lot, and to save face, they started with stewed hairtail.

Not to mention, the stewed octopus made by my aunt is quite delicious. It tastes very homely, but the taste is not worse than that of the restaurant.

Sometimes, there are certain dishes that are home-cooked and better than restaurant ones, and stewed octopus is obviously one of them.

"How is it?" Auntie asked.

"It's delicious." The girls praised it one after another, and even Ma Xiaofeng thought it tasted good, and it was a perfect match with rice.

Unanimously praised by all the girls, the aunt was very happy, and the dinner table was full of laughter and laughter, and the atmosphere was warm.

"Xiaolong wants to be admitted to Peking University in the future, right?" Professor Wu asked after tasting a round of delicious food, putting down his chopsticks.

"I have this idea, but it depends on which school to go to." Ma Xiaolong said: "After all, Mizuki is no worse than Beijing University."

Professor Wu frowned, and snorted coldly: "What is Mizuki? If you talk about liberal arts, Beijing University can beat Mizuki on the ground."

"But Shuimu science is better." Ma Xiaolong said: "I haven't decided whether to choose liberal arts or science in the future? If I choose liberal arts, I will go to Beijing University, and science will go to Mizuki."

"Are you better at liberal arts or science?" Professor Wu asked.

"They're pretty good at it." Ma Xiaolong said, "At least I haven't found any difficulties so far."

"My brother started in elementary school, and now he has got full marks in all the exams." Ma Xiaofeng bragged: "Everyone says my brother is a Wenqu star descending to earth."

"Oh?" Professor Wu was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Didn't you lose too much? Didn't you write a composition?"

"Good luck." Ma Xiaolong said modestly.

"..." Professor Wu's expression turned serious, and he said, "It may be because of the difficulty of not losing points in the elementary school exam, but if you don't lose points in the middle school exam, then it's not luck."

After a pause, he asked, "Are you in junior high school or high school now?"

"After the summer vacation, go to the third grade of junior high school."

"What is the level of the school in the local area?"

"The local high school ranks second, but there is a big gap with the first place. Although the junior high school is also second, it is not far behind the first place." Ma Xiaolong said.

"Yeah." Professor Wu nodded and said, "Where do you plan to go to high school?"

"The best middle school in our local area." Ma Xiaolong said, "Although it is only a key point in the county, it is also ranked high in the whole city."

"Do you want to come to Beijing to attend high school?" Professor Wu suggested: "If you can settle in Beijing, the probability of being admitted to Beijing University in the college entrance examination is much higher than that in your hometown."

"That's right!" Uncle slapped her thigh and said, "That's a good idea! Xiaolong, why don't you come to the capital to study in high school, anyway, you have a house in the capital, and it's easy to settle down."

"..." The faces of the girls changed, and they all stared at Ma Xiaolong.

"No." Ma Xiaolong shook his head, and said: "With my grades, even if I don't get a recommended spot, it's not a problem to be admitted to Qingbei. Besides, I will stay in the capital all year round when I go to university. Before that, I want to stay in Beijing." Spend more time with your family in your hometown.”

All the girls were relieved by these words, and Professor Wu smiled slightly: "Very good, if you are admitted to Beijing University in the future, do you want to study my major?"

"History?" Ma Xiaolong asked.

"Almost, it mainly studies ancient characters, which is closely related to archeology." Professor Wu said.

"Oh?" Ma Xiaolong said: "I am very interested in ancient characters, and I have studied the characters before the pre-Qin period."

"Really? That's a coincidence." Professor Wu said with a smile, "Then I'll test you?"

"Please come up with a question."

Professor Wu took out a pen from his jacket pocket, and said to his uncle, "Old Li, borrow a piece of paper."

"It's on the TV cabinet." The uncle pointed to the back of Professor Wu.

Professor Wu turned around and took half of the letter paper from the TV cabinet, wrote a twisted character on the letter paper, the word was written in a relatively large size, held it in his hand and showed it to everyone present, and finally asked Ma Xiaolong: "Do you know this character? "

"First." Ma Xiaolong said: "Oracle bone inscriptions, first come first."

"Say this word first?" Ma Xiaofeng couldn't understand: "I thought it was grass!"

"Uneducated." Ma Xiaolong tapped her forehead with chopsticks: "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand."

"Hmph!" Ma Xiaofeng covered his forehead and rolled his eyes.

Professor Wu smiled slightly: "Can you explain the meaning of the words?"

"The top is a foot, and the bottom is a person, which means walking in front of others, so-called one step ahead of others, so it is a word for first."

"A foot on it?" Everyone was staring at the upper part of the word, which didn't look like a foot.

"It doesn't look like it?" Professor Wu asked with a smile.

"It doesn't look like it at all." The auntie used all her imagination and didn't realize that it was a foot.

"This is the question of the evolution of characters." Professor Wu said: "Although oracle bone inscriptions are considered to be the earliest characters, no one can be sure whether there are any characters before oracle bone inscriptions? Of course there is a high probability. After all, oracle bone inscriptions can be regarded as a relative Mature texts must have evolved before, and we can only verify and infer based on the currently known literature.”

"So this foot was calculated?" the aunt asked.

"This character has been compared. Of course, there are many characters that cannot be compared and that have not been deciphered. These require more people who study ancient characters to work hard to decipher." Professor Wu said.

"That's really hard work." The aunt turned to Ma Xiaolong and said, "Why don't we stop learning this?"

Professor Wu: "..."

Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Professor Wu is just testing me. What major to study in the future will have to be determined according to the future situation. You may not choose the Department of History."

"Oh, that's good." The aunt didn't understand this, since her nephew knew it well anyway.

Professor Wu said helplessly: "It is very interesting to study ancient characters. It is quite an achievement to discover the cultural origin of our Chinese nation step by step."

"What's the achievement? No matter how successful you are, don't you know how the ancients wrote!" said the aunt.

"..."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" My uncle didn't like to hear it anymore: "Cultural research itself is a major event that benefits the country and the people. If you don't study it, I don't study it. Who knows what our previous history was like? If the children I don’t know where I came from, how can I be patriotic in the future?”

"Don't tell me these big truths, you know, why don't you study them?" The aunt said angrily: "If you really have this ability, why would you sell popsicles on the side of the road every day?"

"I can't tell you clearly." The auntie loves to mess around in a hurry, and the uncle already has a set of effective coping methods: stop talking if it doesn't make sense, and eat.

It was a good oracle bone inscription exam, but Ma Xiaofeng and the aunt got mixed up, and Professor Wu lost interest: I'd better eat!
However, Ma Xiaolong became interested and asked, "Professor Wu, how much is it for deciphering an oracle bone inscription?"

"How can ancient prose research be related to money?" Professor Wu frowned, and said, "Student Xiaolong, your ideas are wrong."

"What's wrong?" The aunt didn't like to hear it anymore: "Study ancient prose and you don't need to eat? If this is the case, then everyone in the world will be able to study ancient prose, and they will live forever without eating."

"..." Professor Wu was helpless again.

This wave is called a scholar meets a soldier, and the reason is unclear.

Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "Professor Wu, I think any research should be supported by funds, just like what my aunt said, if every researcher can't make money and get rewards, who will do research? People always have to eat."

"You're right." Professor Wu nodded, "The school pays me so that I have the time and energy to study ancient characters."

"That's right." Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "If you don't get paid, you shouldn't have the heart to study these things, right?"

"That's true." Professor Wu shook his head: "Forget it, let's stop talking, let's eat."

"You are eating, I still have a few questions." Ma Xiaolong said.

Just as Professor Wu picked up the chopsticks, he put them down again when he heard the words, and said, "What's the problem?"

"Professor Wu, how many oracle bone inscriptions are there in the world now? How many characters have been deciphered?" Ma Xiaolong asked.

"Good question." As a professor of the Department of History, Ma Xiaolong hit the nail on the head with this question: "There are more than 300 oracle bone inscriptions that have been collected, but there are only more than 300 words that have been deciphered by consensus, and more than half of them are not. know."

"It's been almost 100 years since the Oracle bone inscriptions were discovered! More than 100 characters have been deciphered in 300 years. What do you think is the problem?" Ma Xiaolong asked.

"There are too few researchers." Professor Wu said with emotion: "So far, there are only about [-] people who study oracle bone inscriptions in China. Most of these people do research scatteredly, and the characters that can be deciphered are very limited."

"Since you also know that it is because of the small number of people, why don't you publish the oracle bone inscriptions and other ancient characters, so that the broad masses of the people can work together to decipher them together?" Ma Xiaolong asked.

"..." Professor Wu was stunned. Although he felt that something was wrong, he felt that there was nothing wrong. On the contrary, the more he thought about it, the more reasonable he felt, and he couldn't help saying excitedly: "That's too right, one person counts two people Chief Ji, since the manpower is small, let the common people participate, with the washing of the vast ocean of the people, it is impossible to decipher thousands of characters."

"But to get the people involved, there must be rewards," said Ma Xiaolong. "If there is no reward at all, who would want to do such a thing for free?"

"That makes sense." Professor Wu nodded again and again, but he didn't know how to solve this problem. After all, he was just a professor who studied characters, and the school had to open his own salary, so it was impossible to provide generous rewards to the common people.

"So we still have to ask organizations in need to invest some money in." Ma Xiaolong said: "As a reward for deciphering the text."

"That makes sense." Professor Wu nodded again.

"For example, if you pay 1 yuan to decipher a character, I believe that people all over the country are willing to participate in the deciphering of these ancient characters." Ma Xiaolong said.

"Ten thousand? Then I will definitely participate." The uncle said.

"I will also participate." The aunt said excitedly: "One word will give you 1 yuan! It's more than a year's salary!"

Professor Wu smiled wryly: "If I really give so much, I want to earn this money."

Ma Xiaolong said with a smile: "You can make money, as long as you can decipher it."

"..."

Professor Wu feels that someone is messing with his mentality today. In the past few decades, no one dared to mess with his mentality. He didn't expect that he would be screwed by a group of crouching dragons and phoenixes in a short time today.

Drink a glass of bitter wine, alas!When the wine is in the heart, the sorrow is even more sorrowful!

After dinner.

Professor Wu was full and wanted to leave, but his uncle stopped him: "My nephews want to visit Beijing University. If you're okay, take them in and have a look?"

"Okay." Professor Wu is a professor of Peking University, so he was naturally assigned to the staff dormitory. He usually lives in the school, so it is very convenient to bring a few people in: "Do you want me to be a tour guide for the children?"

The uncle turned to look at Ma Xiaolong: "What do you mean?"

"No need." Ma Xiaolong said: "We just want to go in and feel the cultural atmosphere of Beijing University, and we will come out after a while, so we don't bother Professor Wu."

"That's it." Professor Wu said: "Peking University campus is quite big, if you get lost, remember to ask someone for directions at any time."

"I won't get lost." Ma Xiaolong said: "My sense of direction is not bad, and I have never lost my way."

Since he acquired the positioning and navigation skills, he has never worried about traveling far. When he arrives at the gate of Peking University, he first takes a seat, then walks around the campus, paying attention to the positioning and navigation in his brain at any time, and knowing his body every minute. where?How can I reach my destination in the fastest and most direct way?

door clear.

Before going, Ma Xiaolong helped my uncle push the freezer cart to the side of the road. Although there is not much time today, my uncle didn't want to be lazy, so he set up a cold drink stand with the mentality of earning a little bit .

At this moment, the sky has completely cleared and the temperature has picked up. Sitting under the sun umbrella, my uncle knows that the sales volume this afternoon will not be bad.

The cold drink stand was more than ten meters away from the South Gate of Peking University. Ma Xiaolong and the others followed Professor Wu into the campus of Peking University.

It was summer vacation at this time, and the campus of Peking University was relatively quiet, but there were still many students who stayed on campus reading aloud, taking walks, practicing musical instruments, and various extracurricular activities were rich and colorful.

"You really don't need me to be your tour guide?" Professor Wu asked again.

"No need." Ma Xiaolong took out his mobile phone from his pocket and said, "If you are really worried, why don't you give me a call?"

"..." Professor Wu looked at the mobile phone in his hand in surprise, and couldn't believe that a teenager like him could afford a mobile phone.

"Is this phone yours?"

"It's mine." Ma Xiaolong hummed and asked, "Is there a problem?"

"...no problem." Professor Wu said with a full face: I just...poverty limits my imagination.

After telling his landline number in the dormitory and confirming that Ma Xiaolong remembered it correctly, Professor Wu left alone. His staggering back showed that he was not at peace.

After Professor Wu left, the girls finally stopped suppressing their instincts and chatted chatteringly.

"This is Beijing University! It looks so big!" Ma Xiaofeng also walked into Beijing University for the first time, seeing everything was fresh, and at the same time a little dizzy: "It's so big, isn't it afraid of getting lost?"

"You won't get lost if you stay for a long time." Ma Xiaolong said: "In order to ensure that the people are tidy, everyone should act together and don't run around by themselves. There are mountains and water here. It would be too bad if you fell into the water and drowned."

"I'm such a smart person, how could I fall into the water and drown." Ma Xiaofeng stretched out his arms, palms out, posing in an Alalei running posture and ran around the campus of Beijing University: "Go!"

Zhu Sha chuckled lightly and said, "Let's go too!"

...Walking around...

It was already 05:30 in the afternoon when I came out of the campus of Peking University. Among other things, the girls had gained a lot of knowledge.There are countless universities in the country that students yearn for. This is what it looks like.

Not worth it.

Diagonally across the road, my uncle still has a stall!It happened that two young girls bought two red fruit popsicles.

Hongguo popsicles are the cheapest popsicles in the capital. They are hawthorn-flavored and small in size. They are only worth [-] cents in a small town, but the prices in the capital are high, [-] cents, and cannot be lowered.

The most expensive popsicle is a chocolate cream popsicle called Menglong, which costs seven yuan and fifty.

In her previous life, my aunt once told him an interesting story about selling popsicles. She said that there was a foreigner who came to buy popsicles and said in not-so-fluent Mandarin: "Master, give me the best popsicle."

The aunt brought him a Menglong, and the foreigner asked how much it was?Auntie said seven yuan and five.

The foreigner was stunned on the spot: "Oh~ so expensive!?"

Then he obediently paid for it and bought it. After all, he had already pretended to be out. If he didn't buy it... Think about it, foreigners who are reluctant to pay seven or five dollars are picking up junk in their own country?Or sleep on the road?

really interesting.
