The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain
63. Scheming
The snack on display is walnut cake, which should be mixed with jujube paste. It will be very moist and comfortable to eat with tea, and people in the yamen will also enjoy it. On the table, there are some thread-bound books, newspapers and other miscellaneous items for people to browse.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, I heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside. A young man in a long robe walked over. He looked like a normal Qin provincial man, but there was nothing unusual about him on the street. His spirit was very high, and he seemed to move without any scruples. Unlike most people, he probably gave up some things because he studied abroad.
These make his features look very tough, as if he were being chopped with a knife or an axe.
At a glance, you can tell that he is a military cadet, and his demeanor is different from others.
Bai Gui heard the footsteps and stood up to greet them.
As he got closer, he could see more clearly. It was General Zhang who had cut off his braid, and there was still some hair on his forehead. He had a very smart look, and the whole person was different.
Yes, I cut my braids.
Most of these students studying abroad will cut off their braids. After returning home, no one will question them about these behaviors, as if they have tacitly approved of this kind of thing.
At the same time, after the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, new troops generally cut off their braids for the convenience of training.
"First..." Bai Gui was about to call him sir. He felt that this wording was a bit inappropriate. The term "sir" used by the waiter to greet customers was a bit humble. The students respectfully addressed the teacher as "sir" with admiration. He now calls General Zhang "sir", which is not appropriate. , not a teacher yet.
There is no established teacher-student relationship.
He put it in a different way, a novel way of saying it.
"Senior Zhang, I am Mr. Zhu's student. Because I have to take the government examination, the government examination has added a new subject of translation, so Mr. Zhu wrote a letter and asked me to come and ask you for Japanese lessons..."
Bai Gui said first.
There was a little hidden thought in his words. He was also a student who was about to be eligible to study in Japan at public expense. This title of senior was perfect. If General Zhang asked, he could tell the truth.
Senior, speaking at this time is also appropriate for his status. General Zhang was also a scholar, and he pursued the same pursuit in the imperial examination. He calls himself a junior or a junior, which is natural.
"He is Brother Mengzhou's favorite disciple!"
General Zhang's tense expression relaxed a little. He sat on a chair and opened the letter that Bai Gui handed him. When he saw the signature on the cover of the letter, he had already read half of it. It is difficult to fake calligraphy these days. An old friend will know the truth and falsehood at a glance.
After skimming through the contents of the letter, he smiled and looked at Bai Gui with a look that was not cold, but as if he were looking at his own nephew and descendant...
"My Japanese is pretty good. If you come here every three days in the afternoon, I can give you some pointers."
General Zhang said.
He was not surprised by Mr. Zhu's request. Although the junior students have been recommended to enter the Japanese crash course, they are the ones who have the most say in how to learn Japanese from scratch.
I wonder how much hard work can be saved if the right teacher gives guidance.
The status of master and apprentice was confirmed.
Bai Gui also took the opportunity to give General Zhang the Parker pen he had prepared as an apprenticeship gift.
"Yes, there is a line of English engraved on it. It is Amei Kenguo's pen. You must have been careful."
Originally, General Zhang thought that Bai Gui was a traditional Confucian scholar, and even though he had some new ideas, he was not much above him. Although he did not feel contempt and had a superior attitude, he was still a little unfamiliar after all.
But after seeing the Parker pen, he took a good look at Bai Gui, and his first impression was overturned. Moreover, this Parker pen is exquisite and beautiful to hold in your hand, and it feels quite comfortable.
Five ocean coins, for him, is not too much, but not too much.
Studying in Japan costs a lot of money. Although I study in Japan at public expense, and I am a military cadet at Zhenwu School, I have a stipend, but with such a small subsidy, my life is extremely difficult. After returning to China, as a copywriter, the salary was not very high.
"Sir, these are some of my doubts about Japanese..."
Bai Gui didn't know the principle of climbing up a donkey and hitting a snake with a stick. He directly took advantage of this opportunity to ask for advice. He spread out the handout and asked General Zhang for advice on every point that was not "clear".
He had sorted out these issues in advance.
For things like asking others to teach you, you must prepare yourself in advance. Otherwise, when you are waiting for others to teach you, you will slowly flip through the books and search for them. No matter how close you are to the person who teaches you, you will be impatient. This is taking advantage of others. Time is no business.
In addition, relationships are something that can only come about after you get to know each other well.
A friend who borrows money and repays it on time will definitely have a stronger relationship than a friend who is usually polite.
According to psychology, this means that there are too many sunk costs, and there will be corresponding hints in the heart, so that you can continue to interact with them in the hope of getting more rewards...
The same goes for teaching students.
But don't be too clumsy. A vigilant person will stop the loss immediately.
"You can teach me, listen to my pronunciation, this word is like this..."
Seeing Bai Gui's rapid learning speed, General Zhang was surprised for a while and then continued teaching. After all, anyone who sees a smart, polite, and motivated student will be happy to teach them.
Not long after, General Zhang also tired of talking, "That's it for today. Come back in three days. It's also today's time."
As he said this, he left the room. Although writing this position was only an official position, there were many daily tasks. This was also an observation period, and he had to perform his duties with all his heart every day, so as to be able to get a good official position.
But after General Zhang left, Bai Gui did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he looked for the Yamen servant, borrowed some paper, and wrote down the essence of what General Zhang had just said in the penthouse.
No one will notice this day's habit.
But every time this happens, it is not difficult to reach people's ears.
After receiving General Zhang's promise to teach Japanese, Bai Gui decided to go to the provincial government office every three days to study Japanese. During this period, thanks to the teachings of Fujino Haheiji, General Zhang also praised his accent. Zhenwu School was opened in Tokyo, and the accent in Tokyo was Kanto accent. At this time, Japan was not far away, and the Edo period The shadow also affects Japan. Kyoto accent is a Gyeonggi dialect, which is superior to Kanto accent.
The daily classes at Shiwu Zhai are compact, but also extremely practical.
But Bai Gui still did not give up studying the Four Books and Five Classics. Confucian knowledge needs to be viewed dialectically and regarded as a way to live in the world. There are not many people in the world who are better than it. Moreover, he also has to prepare for the imperial examination, government examination and Although the proportion of Confucian knowledge in the college examination has declined, it is still quite large.
Time passes slowly in this constant learning.
What is worth mentioning is that the Gourd Chicken restaurant they opened in the provincial capital has also achieved great success. The supply exceeds demand. Every day, diners order early in advance. It is very popular in the provincial capital, making money every day...
