Mary Su Stuart

Chapter 82 French

Francois felt that he was often absent-minded recently.

Okay, what kind of "playing games" are you playing in the bedroom... so that now...every time he sees Mary, some strange scenes will appear in his mind from time to time, such as slaves and lords, nuns and knights, ladies and robbers , the princess and the jester...

There are too many tricks, and he is almost not enough from head to toe.

Now he is most fortunate that the rubber products Mary brought from England this time are absolutely sufficient.

Although the cost is high - just kidding, the majestic king of France, where can the money be lacking!

As for Mary, she routinely enjoys maids beating her back and rubbing her waist, and silently recites "Thanks to science, thanks to the rubber plantations and rubber workshops far away in England".

Technology changes the world!

One of the reasons why she delayed returning to France for almost two years was waiting for the finished condom.

Cough cough, it is right to offer high prices to those craftsmen, the mold is very precise, and it fits well when used on a real person...

As for the icy and cool feel of the bump thread - please, why do you need so many tricks, the most basic functions are enough!

Hey, other time-traveling women, do you have to study the cylinder and faucet first to get the rubber?I'm doing my best to urge my subordinates to develop family planning products...

But it's not bad to be able to have a good time!

Of course, there are far more things to be happy about recently than this.

For example, Maurice discussed with his father William for several days, and finally accepted the proposal of the French court to retain and train the young boy.

For example, Mrs. Melville reported that Morris was generous, decent and agile, and soon won the friendship of "accompanying boys" such as Little Linston, Little Seton, and Little Boswell.And he is polite, diligent and hardworking, so that the two princesses and sisters also start to study low language and learn to play tennis...

The old mother was very pleased when she heard this!

Regardless of cultivating relationships or anything else, at least, this newly joined boy has promoted the children to study hard and make progress every day!

For this reason, Mary specially accompanied the children to an open class, and secretly observed another small class.Well, the overall situation is satisfactory.

However, Mary was not only concerned about her own court education.

She can't wait to get involved in the schools in the three places (France, Britain and Ireland).

In the past few days, the Queen of France, who was thinking of unifying the official language, finally met a French master.

Michel de Montaigne.

He came, he came, and he came with his "Essay Collection".

Mary really didn't expect that someone could write prose so well in this era, it almost made her miss the Chinese textbook in her previous life...

This is the taste: using personal experience as the material, sometimes witty and funny, sometimes sarcastic, sometimes philosophical, completely fascinating.

And the writing is like a person.Mary caught Mr. Montaigne and talked about his travel notes in Italy, his life in the country, and what he was like in Bordeaux...the chat was very happy.

"I hear you're a skeptic?"

"But I never doubt your majesty's wisdom and authority."

"It is said that you particularly admire Justice Lobitard?"

"Yes, I must say that he has become the envy of nobles in robes because of his tolerance, justice, and love of peace. And you and the king, who promoted and reused him, are more like the sun full of brilliance, Let the people believe that the future of France will be bright."

"As the mayor of Bordeaux, do you think the citizens are easy to manage?"

"Dear Your Majesty, the citizens of Bordeaux are very energetic, and they can manage themselves. But they still need leaders to help them make up their minds at some point. In fact, I am not the most suitable mayor, even though I cherish his honor, from Don't care that the office has no salary."

"You see luxury in Italy, and it's spreading in England and France. Do you think it's depraved?"

"I firmly believe that human beings have the right to the pursuit of happiness, and that lack of moderation is the only evil."

"Many Catholics have been accused of generalizing idolatry. In your opinion, is this stupid, shallow, and impious? Or is the seriousness of Protestantism focused on asceticism the way closer to God?"

"Permit me to say something outrageous: Faith serves as a cover for the fears of ignorance. I like Catholicism, and I admire sects with proper rituals, strong feelings, and appeals to charity; because they satisfy people's spiritual needs better."

Great!Mary couldn't resist raising her hands and applauding.In later generations, his compatriot Balzac wrote an article "Atheist Watches Mass", which clarifies that religion is of great significance to human spiritual life, and praises that faith makes people noble and kind.

Mary, who loves talents, pays more and more attention to the scholar's personal life. "I've heard that you have been troubled by calculus recently."

The wrinkled Montaigne subconsciously moved his hand to his abdomen. "Your Majesty, you care so much about your subjects that I am so grateful."

Mary smiled wryly.She has received news from more than one person. The eloquent and calm writer in front of her has a family history of kidney stones, and her father also died of the disease.Is there any in vitro ultrasound lithotripsy in this era, and there are no reliable medicines.

Kidney colic, terribly painful; blood in the urine, scaring me to death; not to mention men have so long and so many curved urination pipes, which one is stuck, the urine retention is also very miserable...

In the later stage, there were various complications of hydronephrosis and renal failure...it was too much to suffer.

Life is so difficult... I must be healthy and healthy.Mary thought, and quickly took a big sip of chrysanthemum tea.Then she recalled the taboos about stone disease in later generations, and sincerely persuaded Montaigne:

"I read your works, I admire your personality, and I know you can face death calmly. But at the same time, as the protector of major medical schools and the founder of the annual medical exchange meeting, I hope you take care of your health and continue Create precious spiritual wealth for mankind, for the kingdom, and for yourself. Can you accept that a monarch orders you to prohibit alcohol, drink a lot of water, and avoid all kinds of food?"

Montaigne shook his shoulders in astonishment. "Your Majesty, I am worthy of your attention... I am really flattered."

Mary smiled and sighed: "Just some medical advice may not be able to achieve miraculous results, but it may be the closest to the correct nursing method. It is not easy to achieve strict behavior control. In fact, the final decision, It's you..."

The transparency and enlightenment of the Queen/Her Majesty put Montaigne in a good mood.The monarch and his ministers had a happy chat, so he readily agreed to Mary's request. After paying the corresponding royalties/reprinting fees, she can publish the words in his "Essay Collection" in the "United Weekly", or apply them in the cross-strait three In the textbooks of grammar schools in various places.

Mary was overjoyed to get the author's authorization easily.Unfortunately, when she talked to François about applying Montaigne's works to new textbooks, he expressed reservations.

"You really want his work to get into a British grammar school?" he said bluntly. "I thought it was a bit esoteric, not suitable for beginners to read."

"Huh?" Mary wondered. "Such a philosophical chapter is just right for igniting the fire in young people's hearts. Besides, even if they read it at a young age, when they grow up, they will naturally ponder and taste the elegance and profound meaning of the text, thus becoming the inheritor or even the pioneer of this culture."

Francois still shook his head. "I also firmly believe that the beauty of French will eventually impress those students. But I remember you said that you most hope that grammar schools can help popularize French. Even if those low-level civilians are lucky enough to enter a public welfare school, they may not persist until their studies are completed, and they may not be able to Appreciate the beauty of it... I am also worried that those little heads, because they were once afraid of difficulties, will instead breed rebellious psychology."

Well, it sounds a bit like the experience of "underachievers".Mary pursed her lips.

Francois thought about it again, and seemed unwilling to completely oppose his wife's seemingly reasonable approach. "Probably, as an embellishment, it's good. Generally speaking, I think it's better to choose some small news that are easy to understand and easy to disseminate, similar to some small news with clear themes in "United Weekly."

Mary was startled for a moment, and suddenly realized something.She opened her arms happily, and almost threw her husband over.

Alas, she has too many cultural people with her daily life, and she subconsciously thinks that those in junior boarding schools are all middle school students.In essence, most of them are only considered as 'primary school students'. If French is a "foreign language", it is even at the level of primary school students!

What do lower grade pupils learn?The little tadpole is looking for its mother, the pony is crossing the river, and Gudong is coming...

Sure enough, we still need to listen more to the opinions of the natives, and we can't just let the women who traveled through us be so enthusiastic.

Easy to understand and simple, good adaptability!

Qu Gao is few, she should understand this truth!

Why Shakespeare is famous all over England... His major plays are entertaining, entertaining!

Interest is an excellent motivation for learning.If you don't consider cultivating elites, but only want to popularize the language, you should, then——

Street stall literature, pornographic ditties, shocking news, gossip stories?

Mary raised her forehead.It would be nice to have Dumas in this era.This person is good at popular literature and tells stories that the public loves to listen to. 【Note [-]】If it doesn’t work, Molière can do it too——The kind of "The Miser Man" will definitely make people laugh out loud and unforgettable.

Bah, bah, bah, they're all teaching young students, aren't Aesop's fables delicious?

Then, we should find some interesting French folk tales and continue cultural export (invasion) (replacement).

This task of adding bricks and tiles to French textbooks finally went round and round and came to a person who wanted to commit crimes and meritorious deeds——

Chatelier, a former court poet who has lived in the countryside for many years and has been self-reflecting for a long time.

According to Seton: "At first he wrote to Miss Beeton, but she resolutely refused to accept it. However, in the past ten years or so, he has written many articles, enough to be compiled into a thick confession... Beeton And I don't hate him so much..."

As Seton said, he carefully observed the expression of the hostess.Seeing that His Majesty frowned slightly, but did not get angry, she felt a little more secure.

Mary murmured in her heart: It is so good that the scar has forgotten the pain.She gave Seton and Biton who were standing side by side a sharp look.Seton still held his breath, while Biton shrank his neck slightly, as if tensed up.

"Since you say that the folk tales he collected are quite interesting, let me read them."

Seeing that the two of them seemed to be happy, Mary emphasized her pronunciation seriously: "However, in any case, he is not suitable to return to the court."

Seton replied sonorously: "I will follow your will." Biton was stunned and saluted deeply. "Thank you Your Majesty... for your tolerance and forgiveness to me all the time."

Mary nodded slightly.She retrieved the topic and continued to diverge her thinking. "If his writing style is suitable, he can also be adopted and published in the United Weekly. Well, suitable writers are always rare, so don't let go of every available talent."

Alas, Lobitard is getting old, and the management of the French official newspaper is getting a little difficult.Mary had no choice but to try her best to find a successor for him, while temporarily worrying herself too much.

His Majesty, who was always worried that the content of the official newspaper would be too plain and ignored by the people, discovered after a few months that a blockbuster work suddenly appeared in France, which forcibly occupied the front pages of various newspapers.

The author has something to say: [Note [-]] Dickens: I am also very popular with the working people, but I do not deserve a name, sigh.

Mary: Sorry, I'm here to popularize French.British sorry.

Although English is obviously easier to learn...but from a unified point of view, from the perspective of volume, it is better to let French be the mainstream.

The marginalization of English is helpless.Maybe it will be kept like Cantonese for a long time in the future?

In addition, in fact, the author does not know what the grammar school textbooks of that era really looked like...

Anyway, Latin is really difficult...

Anyway, the French textbook is Mary's innovation (selfishness), Oye...
