Chapter 278
There are quite a few people in Mingyue Pavilion who can speak Tatar, but there are very few women who can speak Tatar. There is only one, named Ruan Yuanniang, who is from Chu State and Pianguan County, because her family lives in Chu State and Tatar State. borders, the language is interoperable, and almost all the people in the capital who can speak Tatar are people under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture.

Chu Wenqian is the son of Jin Wang, the fiefdom of Taiyuan Mansion. It was not difficult for him to find someone who could speak Tatar in Mingyue Pavilion, and he introduced one right away. I'm going to learn Chinese.

It's almost the end of the new year, Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan agree that they will start studying after the new year, but they have to meet people first.

On the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Ruan Yuanniang came to the Prince Jin's mansion, and Chen Xiuyan, Luo Mingxin and Princess Changshou met together.

After the persuasion of the Princess Changshou, King Taiping finally let her go to Tatar a few days ago. Of course, the premise is that the Holy One allows King Taiping to marry him to Tatar, otherwise Princess Changshou would not be allowed to go.

Although it has not been finalized yet, knowing that Chen Xiuyan and Luo Mingxin wanted to learn Chinese, Princess Changshou immediately participated in it. The euphemistic name is that even if they can’t go, she can learn one more foreign language, so that they can be used by foreign envoys in the future. She may be able to serve as an interpreter when the minister goes to Beijing, and King Taiping agrees to this.

Ruan Yuanniang is a woman in her early thirties, her complexion is yellowish and black, and her facial features are fairly regular. She is wearing a brown jacket and skirt, and her attitude is respectful. After working for a long time, I have been in contact with foreign aristocrats, so I have developed such a temperament.

"Kowtow to the concubine of King Jin, Princess Changshou, and Lord Wenshui." Ruan Yuanniang bowed dignifiedly and kowtowed to the three of them.

"Mr. Ruan, please get up and sit down quickly." Chen Xiuyan said with a smile, Ruan Yuanniang got up as she said, and took only one-third of the seats politely.

"I don't know when it will be convenient for Mr. Ruan to come to the mansion to teach us Tatar language after the next year?" Chen Xiuyan asked straight to the point and cut to the point.

"The concubine, the concubine, is free. Now the Mingyue Pavilion is only lived in the Tatar kingdom, but she can speak the Chu dialect, so I don't need the concubine to accompany me to translate, so the concubine can do it at any time."

"Then after the Lantern Festival, let's start on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month." Chen Xiuyan set the time after hearing that.

"Yes." Ruan Yuanniang responded immediately.

"The mansion has prepared a small courtyard for Mr. Ruan. It is easy to enter and exit from the back door. Let's accompany Mr. Ruan to have a look. The courtyard is also used as a teaching place. If there is anything that needs to be supplemented or replaced, Mr. Ruan can tell." Chen Xiuyan got up, and a group of people walked to Mozhuju in the backyard, and it took more than a quarter of an hour to arrive. Behind this courtyard is the back room, and the back door is on the side of the back room.

Chen Xiuyan said that Mozhuju is a small courtyard, but it is actually not small. There are two main rooms, two side rooms, one east and west wing rooms, and another hut and small kitchen.

One of the spacious main rooms, Chen Xiuyan, has been decorated as a study room. On the wooden floor, there are six tables with cushions behind the tables. The four treasures of the study are readily available on the tables. The big long table looks like it is prepared for the teacher to teach.

The most surprising thing is that there is something like a screen behind the desk used by the husband, but it is not inlaid with exquisite cloth embroidery, but a clean large paper. In order to facilitate writing, the paper is supported by a wooden board behind it.

There is a fire wall in the house, so you won't feel cold even if you study in winter.

"This is?" It was the first time Ruan Yuanniang saw such a big thing.

"This is convenient for Mr. Ruan's teaching. Writing on paper may need to be circulated one by one, but with such a large board, everyone can see Mr. Ruan's writing on it, and the paper on it can be disassembled. It’s good to replace it with a new one after writing, and it happens that we can put away the written ones and often review the old ones.” Chen Xiuyan explained with a smile.

"The imperial concubine is very far-sighted, and the preparations are very proper. There is nothing to add or replace in the concubine's body." Ruan Yuanniang said with a smile.

"Then let's go and see Mr. Ruan's room..."

"Your concubine, don't bother, I can live anywhere, I don't choose, and I don't have any bad habits, any place is suitable for my concubine." Ruan Yuanniang said respectfully.

"How much time does Mr. Ruan think is suitable for a day's study?"

"Two and a half hours in the morning, and two hours in the afternoon, what does Shi Zifei think?" Ruan Yuanniang asked.

"Yes." Chen Xiuyan had no objection, there was no nightlife in ancient times, so people who went to bed early naturally woke up early.

Having met people and settled the matter, Chen Xiuyan didn't keep Ruan Yuanniang any longer, and it would be fine to let her spend the new year.

"Mr. Ruan, since you are here today, can you speak a simple Tatar to us first?" Princess Changshou said, she was very curious and wanted to learn a new language.

"Good morning." Ruan Yuanniang said something in Tatar, and Changshou County Lord and Wenshui County Lord imitated and repeated.

Chen Xiuyan didn't speak, but raised her eyebrows invisibly. She found that Ruan Yuanniang's Tatar language was not up to standard, and her pronunciation was a bit weird. Although she could understand what she was saying, could it be that she had a local accent? ?

The biggest reason why Chen Xiuyan doesn’t want to speak is that she can speak Tatar, which is the modern Mongolian language. As a top student, she also has an archaeological grandmother. Archaeologists study a lot of history, and language is very important. For the part, Chen Xiuyan can speak several foreign languages, especially the neighboring countries adjacent to her own country. After all, in ancient times, many neighboring countries were the vassal states or vassal states of the dynasty at that time.

If it wasn't for Chen Xiuyan's difficulty in revealing herself, she wouldn't even want to invite this Mr. Ruan. She herself would be more authentic.

Chu Wenqian obviously found that Chen Xiuyan was somewhat indescribably disappointed and depressed after meeting Ruan Yuanniang.

"What's the matter? That Mr. Ruan looks very strict?" Chu Wenqian asked in a low voice.

"No, I just see that my level is not good." Chen Xiuyan tutted.

Chu Wenqian raised his eyebrows, "You know Tatar!"

Chu Wenqian directly used an affirmative sentence. He knew the biggest secret hidden by Chen Xiuyan, but he didn't expect that there would be an extra surprise now.

"I know a lot." Chen Xiuyan was lying in Chu Wenqian's arms, stroking her hair, "Tao Lao said something very pertinently, if I were a man, I would be the champion of you. "

"The lady is mighty." Chu Wenqian smiled and praised him, and hugged him even tighter, "I'm going to trouble the lady to hide her clumsiness."

"I understand, nothing is as important as life." Chen Xiuyan said, "How about the husband you met to teach you? Can you speak authentic Tatar?"

Chu Wenqian said something awkward in Tatar, "Have you eaten yet?"

Chen Xiuyan laughed after hearing this, "It's no wonder that he is the number one scholar, and his words are up to standard."

At least in terms of pronunciation, Chen Xiuyan felt that Chu Wenqian was more authentic than that Ruan Yuanniang.
