Chapter 395: ‘Chinese Pinyin’

"Brother Erzhao, what is this?" In Liu Yi's study, Wang Caiyi found a pile of book thin papers made of strange symbols and patterns. She didn't know anything about it. After studying it for a long time, she couldn't help but ask Liu Erzhao.

"Oh, those," Liu Erzhao looked up, put down the books in his hand, and replied to Wang Caiyi with a chuckling: "This is the enlightenment 'textbook' that my elder brother had prepared for Xiaohui before, teaching Xiaohui to read and read."

"Oh," Wang Caiyi nodded slightly, then pointed to some of the symbols on the book that she looked messy, and asked Liu Erzhao again: "What are these things? Do Brother Erzhao know?"

"That's natural. This is 'Chinese Pinyin'. It's a way that my elder brother thought of to assist children in reading and literacy. I was curious at the time and learned it from my elder brother and sister-in-law for a while." Liu Erzhao stood up, walked up to Wang Caiyi's side, took the thick book in her hand, pointed to the characters full of pinyin, and said softly: "There are many good stories recorded here. Do you want me to read it for you? How about it?

?”

Liu Erzhao pulled Wang Caiyi and sat down on the chair next to him, saying with sincerity.

These days, he was in the mansion, either busy dealing with matters inside and outside the mansion, or hiding in the study and studying hard, completely neglecting the little girl who came to accompany him from Chang'an. During the Chinese New Year, Wang Caiyi was always left alone. Liu Ertiao often felt a little sad in his heart. Of course, there was also some feeling of distress in it.

"Okay, okay, I like to listen to stories the most," Wang Caiyi sat next to Liu Ertiao, raising his hands like a child, but after a few screams, she stopped again. She looked up at Liu Ertiao and said to Liu Ertiao in a low voice: "But, will this not delay Brother Ertiao's study? Or don't you want it?"

"It's okay," Liu Erzhao looked at Wang Caiyi with a gentle smile. From some of his actions, he could discover many advantages of the little girl in front of him. He patted Wang Caiyi's upper head, and Liu Erzhao said to her with a chuckling, "This won't delay much effort. Besides, I want to spend more time with you."

"Really?" He looked at Liu Ertiao secretly. The little girl's face turned red with a rare moment. She lowered her head and whispered: "Thank you, Brother Ertiao!"

"Haha, okay, let's start," Seeing the beautiful blush on Wang Caiyi's face, Liu Erzhao's voice became even gentler, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "The name of this story is "Snow White","

"In the severe winter, heavy snowflakes like goose feathers are flying everywhere in the sky. A queen is sitting by a window in the palace doing needlework for her daughter... The queen was shocked when she heard this because she knew that this mirror never tells lies... Seven dwarves... Prince..."

Liu Ertiao is not a storyteller. The plot of the story is entirely written in the book, and it is said word by word, without any mistakes or lifelike. However, because it was the first time I heard such a story, because the person who told the story was Liu Ertiao, Wang Caiyi listened very seriously and quickly integrated his thoughts and feelings into the plot described by Liu Ertiao.

Until Liu Erjou thought about Snow White's marriage with the prince, she had not completely escaped from the story, and she still asked Liu Erjou foolishly: "Brother Erjo, do you think this is true?"

"Followers, of course these are not true. This is just a story. There are many stories like this in this book," Liu Ertiao waved the thick book in his hand and said to Wang Caiyi with a smile: "Let's read the next one, well, the name is "Afanti's Story."

"No need, this is too delayed Brother Erzhao's time," Wang Caiyi looked at the book in Liu Erzhao's hand and said softly to Liu Erzhao: "Brother Erzhao, is this kind of 'Chinese pinyin' easy to learn? Why don't you teach me how to pronounce it? I'll take a look at it myself."

Although Wang Caiyi likes the feeling of listening to Liu Erjo when he reads and tells stories for her, she also knows that now is the critical period for Liu Erjo to prepare for the re-examination next year. She does not want to disturb Liu Erjo's time to study and miss Liu Erjo's bright future.

"Uh?" Liu Ertiao turned his head in surprise and looked at Wang Caiyi. Even though Xuan guessed the little girl's thoughts, he couldn't help but smile again. Perhaps this was the reason why he liked to stay with her.

"Haha, 'Chinese Pinyin' is very simple," Liu Ertiao took out the thin book with letters, biological mothers, and finals, put it on the table and opened it, and said softly: "There are some pronunciations of Chinese characters here. I'll read it first, and you can read it yourself in a while."

When Liu Yi wrote this textbook, he always used the simplest, fastest and most reasonable method to compile teaching, so it is easy for children and adults to get started. Under the guidance of Liu Yi, Wang Caiyi had only taken less than an hour to remember the letters and pinyin rules in the book, and was able to initially test the form of pure pinyin and read and write operations.

"It's so amazing!" After Wang Caiyi read a fairy tale independently, he couldn't help but exclaimed sincerely for the Chinese pinyin.

"If I had this kind of 'Chinese Pinyin' when I was a child, I wouldn't have to be beaten by my grandfather's ruler all day long." Thinking of this, Wang Caiyi's mind was filled with a light, and then he said to Liu Ertiao excitedly: "Brother Ertiao, do you think if we told grandfather about this 'Chinese Pinyin', would grandfather be very happy?"

Wang Gui is now the Minister of Rites and also has the responsibility to take charge of the education and etiquette of the Tang Dynasty. If he knew this method that could make people read quickly, it would be hard to imagine what he was excited about.

Liu Ertou nodded gently and said softly: "To put it bluntly, this 'Chinese pinyin' seems more useful than the "Three Character Classic" written by the elder brother before. If Shangshu Wang knew about it, he would be very happy."

In the past, I just thought that "Chinese Pinyin" was fun and interesting, and it was very suitable for my younger sister to learn to read. The people in the Liu family never thought of promoting it, or they thought of it, but they were too lazy to do it. Liu Yiu knew his elder brother's ability. After all, this method of learning "Chinese Pinyin" was just something that the elder brother had thought out for Xiaohui.

"If Cai'er thinks about it, just take it back to Chang'an and the old man Wang Shangshu," Liu You chuckled. He didn't care much about these things. If Wang Caiyi likes them, he will take them away.

"Well! Thank you Brother Erzhao!" Wang Caiyi smiled sweetly at Liu Erzhao, lowered his head, and read the fairy tale recorded in the book with interest.

"Young Master!" Liu Wuchen called out a lightly outside the door. After hearing Liu Erzhao's response, he pushed the door and entered the study room. He bowed and bowed to Liu Erzhao and Wang Caiyi, and said softly to Liu Erzhao: "Second Master, the ancestral hall at home has been completed. Do you go over and take a look? If there is no problem, please invite the tablets of the ancestors in the afternoon."

"Built? Well, let's talk about it when I go and see it," Liu Ertiao nodded lightly, put down the book in his hand, turned his head to look at Wang Caiyi, and said softly to Wang Caiyi: "Cai'er, let's go and see it with me."

"Well," Wang Caiyi lowered her head, blushed slightly, and responded softly. She thought nervously and sweetly, Brother Erzhao wanted to take her to the ancestral hall of their ancestors. Does this mean...?

"Then let's go here," Liu Erzhao stood up, pulled Wang Caiyi's little hand, and appeared out of the study. Xue Rengui, who had been guarding the next door, also followed. With Wang Caiyi's arrival, Xue Rengui rarely followed Liu Erzhao in the room, in order to give this little man and woman more space for themselves.

The Liu Family Ancestral Hall is located in the middle of the Liu Family Manor, on the northwest side of the Liu Mansion. According to the Feng Shui Master, this is a Feng Shui place, which is most suitable for worshiping ancestors and building ancestral halls.

"Young Master, Miss Wang, please come in!" Liu Wuchen led the way in front, pushed open the two gates of the ancestral hall, and asked Liu Erzhao and Wang Caiyi and others to let him in. Because of the requirements of the style of the ancestral hall, the ancestral hall was a little illuminated, with red candles as the light. Liu Wuchen took him to the incense table in the main hall, pointed to a human-shaped clay sculpture above the incense table, and said respectfully to Liu Erzhao: "Second Master, this is the statue of the ancestor Liu Mingzong, a famous master in the county, made of the portraits left by the ancestors in the family."

"Well," it really looks very similar. Liu Ertiao nodded. The portrait of Liu Mingzong. Every year at the end of the year, Lao Liu would take it out and let their family take turns to worship. Liu Ertiao remembers the appearance of this grandfather and bent over to give a big gift to the clay sculpture. Liu Ertiao whispered to Liu Wuchen: "Prepare it later. I will go and personally go and take the tablets of the ancestors here to come."

"Yes, young master!" Liu Wuchen bent over and responded lightly.

"Also," Liu Erzhao looked around the hall and said softly: "Hang a few more eternal lamps in the ancestral hall, and then send someone to take care of them, to ensure that the lights in the ancestral hall will never fade."
