Chapter 45: Pure jade still needs a jade cutter
Little Alice wanted to speak but stopped. She seemed to have hope and a hint of disappointment on her thin face.
Luo Sen was slightly stunned: ‘What, have I forgotten something?’
He thought carefully about what he said to Little Alice, and suddenly, he remembered his promise to Little Alice this morning: 'As long as you can recognize all these words, I will give you a reward.'
‘The little guy is the age he loves to play most, but because he is sick, he can only stay in the wine cellar all day long. Now that he has something to do, he will definitely focus on it. If I break my promise, she doesn’t know how sad she would be.’
Luo Sen remembered that he was very naughty when he was a child. In order to make him quiet, his mother often wrote him some blank checks, and he would soon forget about it afterwards. Every time he looked forward to the rewards, and when he was disappointed in the end, he would not mention the discomfort in his heart.
‘Hey~ I’m too busy and I’m also very busy. Fortunately, it’s not too late to remedy it now.’
Thinking of this, he suddenly patted his forehead, turned around and walked to Little Alice, squatted down and asked, "Little guy, do you still remember the words you learned in the morning?"
"Remember~Remember~" Little Alice instantly smiled into a flower.
She jumped up happily, turned around, ran back to the bed, carefully took out the parchment paper given by Rosen from the bed, and ran back to Rosen: "Brother, do you see what I read right?"
"Read it."
Little Alice pointed her little finger at the imperial text on the paper and pronounced it word by word: 'Mom, Dad, Brother, the sun, the moon, the grass......'
Rosen listened carefully.
He found that Little Alice's voice was tender, but her mouth was very clear, and the syllables she pronounced were quite standard, and it made people feel very pleasant when she heard it. What surprised him even more was that Little Alice had recited more than a dozen words in a row, but she didn't make any mistakes.
You know, Sister Mary is illiterate. In this secret wine cellar, there is no possibility that anyone will give advice to Little Alice. Rosen is sure that he has taught him for less than 10 minutes, and he has only read each word three times at most.
After reciting it three times, I understood it at that time. Luo Sen can explain that he has excellent short-term memory ability. There are not many such people, but there are definitely many. People with this ability often have no outstanding long-term memory.
But now, after a day, no one can give advice and correct it in the middle, and Little Alice can still remember it accurately, which is beyond Rosen's expectations.
‘You can learn this by just teaching it once. This is probably what the so-called genius looks like.’ Luo Sen thought with some envy.
On Earth, he is also a top student, but he knows best that he can achieve excellent results mainly because of his unremitting efforts. Compared with those real geniuses, his brain is not much better than ordinary people.
He then thought, "If I hadn't met me, this genius might have died less than 6 years old. Even if I met me, if I just cured her disease and no one would cultivate her in the future, I would probably become a common person when she grew up by chance."
According to the fate of ordinary women in this world, such a talented little girl will become an ordinary peasant woman when she grows up, dealing with soil and feces all day long, and having endless housework every day. If she is not lucky, she may marry a drunk man and give birth to a dozen children. Perhaps she will die of difficult labor when she has a certain child. Even if there is no difficult labor, if the drunk man has a bad temper, he will be beaten often.
When Rosen thought of this, he felt very sorry.
‘Hey~ Since I have encountered such a genius by chance, I will never be willing to do it if I don’t train it carefully!’
A few minutes later, Alice finished reading, with more than 30 imperial texts, without any mistakes. She looked at Luosen, with a trace of expectation in her big eyes, and a trace of uneasiness hidden.
Rosen reached out and gently touched the little guy's hair, and smiled and praised: "I read very well. Little Alice works hard, and my brother will fulfill his promise."
He reached into his waist bag and took out three blank parchment paper, a small bottle of ink and a quill. He first took the quill and wrote about 100 commonly used imperial words on a piece of parchment paper, and then he handed the parchment paper, quill and ink to little Alice: "Alice, give it, this is my brother's gift."
Little Alice was stunned. In her heart, quill pens, parchment paper, and ink were all very precious and sacred existences, and they were things that only nobles could have. She never expected that she would have the opportunity to have them.
For a moment, she was at a loss and looked at the quill pen eagerly, then turned to look at her mother Mary.
Mary was also stunned.
She had already seen that Rosen was teaching Little Alice to read. Like Little Alice, she never thought that such a thing would happen. When the incident happened, her reaction was not much better than her daughter.
Rosen walked over, put the quill in Little Alice's hand, and smiled and said, "Take it, this is the gift my brother gave you."
"Thank you... Thank you... Brother." Little Alice looked at a loss, but her little hands subconsciously clasped the quill.
"Come on, I'll teach you how to write." Rosen held Little Alice's little hand.
At this time, Mary finally reacted and she said anxiously: "Sir, no, this...the gift is too expensive. You saved our lives. This is a great kindness. We can't ask for your gift anymore. We...we can't afford it."
Rosen shook his head and said seriously: "No, compared to Little Alice's talent. These gifts from me are just for embellishment of flawless gems."
"But...but my daughter is just..." She wanted to say that her daughter is just the farmer's daughter, and she can live a peaceful life for the rest of her life. It's too luxurious to read and it's too far away. They really can't afford to climb up, but when the words came to her mouth, she saw her daughter's longing gaze, but in the end, she couldn't say the last few words.
A thought that made her feel greedy and transcendent appeared faintly: 'I've been like this in my life, I'm not happy... Why does my daughter have to live a hard life like me? Since she has this opportunity? Why should I stop it?'
This thought was looming and not very clear, but it was enough to put Mary in silence.
Now the situation is completely beyond her knowledge. She panicked and didn't know what to do.
On the other hand, Rosen began to teach Little Alice to write.
He had been teaching all the 100 imperial characters to write, and he watched Little Alice write again, and then he corrected some of Little Alice's mistakes and asked Little Alice to write.
Little Alice still performed very well. No matter how difficult the words are, they will never make mistakes again as long as they are corrected once.
Rosen sincerely praised: "It's very good. Alice, next, you have to write these words proficiently and remember how they are pronounced. Tomorrow night, my brother will continue to check. If you write them well, my brother will also be rewarded."
"Okay, brother!" Little Alice nodded seriously.
By this time, Rosen was tired, so he yawned and said, "Then you have a good rest, I'll go to bed first."
He was busy until dawn last night, and he didn't rest during the day today. He couldn't stand it anymore. He staggered back to his room. As soon as his head stuck to the pillow, he fell asleep to death.
The night of dreams was sweet. Early the next morning, Luo Sen got up and felt his body fatigue disappear without a trace, and his energy almost overflowed from his body.
"Well~ I should start preparing bullets for my big troll."
