Chapter 217 Pinyin and Dictionary
"Father, Father, I know the words, I know the words!"
"Well? Zhinu, why did you come here?" His Majesty Li Er, who was reviewing the memorial in Lizheng Hall, saw Li Zhi running in with short legs, stood up in surprise and picked up the little guy, scratching his little nose in a doting way.
"Father, Zhinu learned a lot of words today!"
Li Zhi's words made His Majesty Li Er smile, thinking that this little guy was here to seek credit from him, and smiled and said, "Is that so? What words did Zhinu learn today?"
"Zhinu has learned a lot and knows everything!" Li Zhi also couldn't brag about taxes and said nothing at all!
This made His Majesty Li Er frown slightly. Just like Li Chengqian has always been around his father, His Majesty Li Er is extremely strict with his son. Although Li Zhi is just an ignorant little brat, he was still a little unhappy when he heard him talking big... If it were his daughter, His Majesty Li Er would have shown another way!
"Zhinu, my father told you that you should not lie!"
Seeing his father's face sternly, Li Zhi, who was very excited, suddenly lost his smile and even said in tears: "Zhi, I'm not lying, I'm not lying..."
When His Majesty Li Er saw the tears in the little guy's eyes and a look of fear, his heart suddenly tightened, remembering what his uncontrollable eldest son once said...
"Old man, our daughter controls it, but we can't ignore our son just because we like our daughter. Look at the things you care about, you are afraid of seeing them like mice and cats. How could the son feel close to his father when he sees his father? Brothers are still young, you should be more tolerant and be closer to them!"
Thinking of these words, His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but put away his serious expression, and his expression became very gentle to Li Zhi in his arms, saying, "Okay, okay, Father, I believe you didn't lie, then can Father take the test and what words did you learn?"
Although influenced by Li Chengqian's words, His Majesty Li Er deliberately put away his serious expression, he still didn't believe what Li Zhi said.
"Yeah, yeah!" Li Zhi lit his little head cutely, looking serious!
His Majesty Li Er came to the Long Case with Li Zhi in his arms, picked up a printed version of the Three Character Classic, turned to the first page, pointed to the words above and asked, "Does Zhinu recognize these words?"
Li Zhi stared at his round eyes, bit his finger and looked at it seriously, and then said, "Know, know, ren zhi chu xing ben shan..." Li Zhi read it in the form of Chinese pinyin. But His Majesty Li Er heard it, and Li Zhi read it right at all.
"Hmm?" He looked at Li Zhi in confusion, and then asked, "Zhinu, what are you just reading?"
"It's the pinyin that the prince brother taught Zhinu. The prince brother said that as long as he learns the pinyin, he can recognize all the characters! Zhinu has learned a lot of pinyin!" Li Zhi said with a show-off face.
"Gao Ming? What the hell is he doing? Aren't you busy with military academy?"
...
"Little Wei Zi, I have always thought you are very smart and spiritual, but now it seems... you are just a pig, a stupid pig! Such simple pinyin letters have been three days, but you can't remember them! You are still an eight-foot man, even the palace maids in the palace, are you so embarrassed?" In the Eastern Palace, Li Chengqian had a jujube stick with his right hand and a textbook he wrote in his left hand, looking at Wei Tai who was kneeling aside with an angry face.
"District, Your Highness, this is really difficult..."
"Difficult? Are you embarrassed to say it's difficult? Haha, there are thousands of people in the East Palace, besides you, go and ask, who else hasn't remembered these pinyin letters? I...I'm making you difficult!"
"Bang..."
"Ouch……"
"Bang..."
"Ah... Your Highness stops hitting, stop hitting, I remember, I will remember it carefully!"
"You said this yesterday, but now... there are about twenty letters in total, and you only remember three... You don't feel embarrassed, but I still feel that my face is dull!"
"No, no, Your Highness, I don't just remember three, I..."
"Then how many do you remember? Don't tell me you remember four!"
"How is that possible? I have remembered six now!"
Wei Tai's words made Li Chengqian speechless. He didn't say anything and just served him with a stick!
So the screams of Wei Tai and the curse of Li Chengqian being so disappointed in the East Palace were everywhere, which made other palace maids, eunuchs, guards and others laughed... They also didn't expect that Wei Tai, who was very smart, would be so clumsy to learn pinyin. They remembered the six pinyin letters a, o, e, i, u, ü in three days!
Wei Tai, who was "chased" by Li Chengqian Man's Eastern Palace, was finally rescued by Liu Zhong's words...
"The saint is here!"
"Father?"
"I'm here to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Well, you'll be free from gifts... Go back to the study room and say!" His Majesty Li Er held Li Zhi, the little kid, in his arms, glanced lightly at Li Chengqian holding the "ruler" and Wei Tai, who was afraid of raising his hand to protect his face, turned around and walked towards the study room.
When he arrived at the study, His Majesty Li Er sat at Li Chengqian's desk without any hesitation, waved his hand and asked Liu Zhong to make a cup of tea, and tasted it deliciously... A series of ripe and twisting behaviors made Li Chengqian roll his eyes.
"Tell me what happened to Zhinu?"
"What's going on?"
"Pinyin!"
"Pinyin?" Li Chengqian looked at Li Zhi, who was raising his legs and trying to hug him, and asked, "You kid learned it secretly?"
Li Zhi immediately stopped the movements in his hands, raised his head and said cutely: "No, Zhinu did not steal, it was Sister Lizhi who took Zhinu to listen!"
When Li Lizhi's name was heard, Li Chengqian's face turned dark immediately, "It's this girl again... why do you have her everywhere?"
"Answer my question first, what's going on with pinyin?"
"Isn't this the Military Academy unable to find a teacher to teach culture... that is, the teacher who reads and reads, I can only train my own teachers... Pinyin is to make it easier for them to recognize words..."
Li Chengqian explained the matter of pinyin to His Majesty Li Er. His Majesty Li Er is much smarter than Wei Tai. He only understood it through Li Chengqian's simple statement. He couldn't help but lit up his eyes and said, "In this way, as long as you learn these pinyin and mark all the characters with pinyin, wouldn't anyone be able to read?"
"This is the truth, but if you want ordinary people to learn pinyin to understand literacy more easily, it is still a very important thing."
"What?"
"dictionary!"
"dictionary?"
"Well, that's it!" Li Chengqian picked up a thick copy of the "Xinhua Dictionary" from the table and handed it to His Majesty Li Er.
The latter opened the dictionary and said in confusion: "Why is the words on it... exactly the same as the words you wrote before?"
"This is a simplified Chinese character, which is to simplify our current characters, and also to make it easier for ordinary people to learn..." Li Chengqian patiently explained the content of the dictionary again. Seeing His Majesty Li Er looking at him with "unbelief", he trembled for no reason and quickly waved his hand, "I'm ready in advance, I'm very busy recently, but I don't have time to care about this matter. Please ask Master Kong and others to get a dictionary!"
