Chapter 6 Me, a barbarian?
Drowsily, Li Nian subconsciously touched his phone, ready to check what time it was and whether he could sleep for another five or ten minutes. But something was strange today. He didn't touch it for a while. arrive.
Where is my cell phone? Did it fall to the ground?
Suddenly, a voice came, "What are you looking for, strong man? Can you ask for help from Guo?"
Li Nian was startled, and his chaotic consciousness suddenly awakened. He opened his eyes, At a glance, he saw Guo Dian standing not far from the couch, looking at him with a smile on his face.
‘I was so sleepy that I forgot I traveled to the Qin Dynasty yesterday! How great would it be if you could go back to modern times when you wake up? '
Seeing Li Nian wake up, Guo Dian apologized and said: "I have disturbed the strong man's dream, please forgive him, but the king has ordered that Dr. Su Xu will come to teach the strong man today, so I have to disturb him!"
After explaining, Guo Dian turned to the maids following him and said, "Why don't you help the strong man get up and change his clothes!" Immediately, maids came forward to help Li Nian get up.
While receiving service from the palace maids, Li Nian looked at the washing tools held by the other palace maids. Not to mention hot water and towels, he actually saw something that looked like a toothbrush.
The Qin Dynasty also had toothbrushes?
Li Nian curiously searched the bar in his mind. He really wouldn't know if he didn't search. He didn't expect that there were actually toothbrushes in the Qin and Han Dynasties.
It is called a bronze toothbrush. It is shaped a bit like a pipe. A cloth strip is inserted into the round hole and used as a toothbrush.
There was a toothbrush and probably toothpaste. Li Nian saw a palace maid holding a plate of white powder and asked, ‘Is this toothpaste? '
He searched in the bar again. This thing is called chalk powder in modern times. It is made by grinding chalk soil into powder, rinsing, and then filtering. The main component is carbonic acid. calcium.
Chalk powder is warm in nature and non-toxic, but if used for a long time, it will enter the heart and spleen, hurt the five internal organs, and make people lose weight.
Seeing the search results, Li Nian pointed at the chalk powder and shook his head at Guo Dian. Although this thing will gradually accumulate and harm the body after long-term use, of course it is not necessary if it can be used.
‘If we can’t travel back in time, we will have to live here in the future. We must find ways to improve human hygiene and improve the quality of life. ’
‘By the way, we have to get a flush toilet. If you can’t get the toilet flushed, you can get the toilet flushed! ’ Thinking of the experience of getting up last night, I can only say that it’s hard to describe.
‘Papermaking must also be put on the agenda, otherwise it will be troublesome to wipe the butt. What I traveled through was the Palace of the Qin Dynasty, and I enjoyed it quite well. If among the people, they used toilet chips to scratch their buttocks...'
'There are also tables, chairs and benches. Who can stand to sit on his knees all day? My legs will be broken! Toilets and paper making are temporarily difficult, but tables, chairs and benches are still relatively simple. ’
Guo Dian saw Li Nian pointing at the chalk powder and shook his head at him again. He also understood what Li Nian meant, but he didn't understand why Li Nian didn't use it. All the nobles in the palace used it, including the king. Is there something wrong with this thing in this person’s eyes?
Under the service of the palace maid, Li Nian changed clothes and washed up. He was currently wearing a set of Qin Dynasty clothes that Guo Dian had brought back yesterday. As for the clothes he wore from modern times, Li Nian was very knowledgeable and did not ask. .
Sitting in front of the case, eating today's breakfast. Compared with yesterday's dinner, the taste was not much improved, but Li Nian was improved. He could recognize the ingredients for breakfast, unlike yesterday's dinner, which was all the same. I don't know, but I also know that Qin people usually only eat two meals a day. After finishing his breakfast, he won't have his next meal until four in the afternoon.
After dinner, he walked around the palace for a while to eat. A chamberlain came in and reported: "General Manager, Dr. Su Xu is here!"
Guo Dian said to Li Nian: "Stand here, strong man, Guo I’ll come back as soon as I go!”
The "doctor" in the Qin Dynasty was not a degree, but an official title. The famous Chunyu Yue was a "doctor".
The Doctoral Officer is in charge of the country's ancient and modern history, as well as books and regulations. He can also participate in government affairs and be responsible for the education of princes and princes. His power and responsibilities are not small. During the time of the First Emperor, there were seventy doctors. As some people think, the seventy doctors were all from Confucianism, such as Huang Zhen, a famous scholar, and Lu Ao, an immortal master. But the Su who teaches Li Nian today Dr. Xu is indeed a Confucian.
Not long after, Guo Dian and a middle-aged man wearing Da Qin official uniform came in. The man was holding a package in his hand. Judging from the noise he made while walking, he guessed that there should be bamboo slips inside.
Guo Dian introduced Li Nian to the middle-aged man: "Dr. Su, this strong man is the person you want to teach today!"
He turned around and introduced Su Xu to Li Nian: "Strong man, this is Dr. Su. I have come to teach you under the order of the king."
Su Xu put down the package in his hand and saluted Li Nian: "Su Xu has seen a strong man!"
Li Nian followed suit and returned the favor.
Su Xu felt a little strange. The king suddenly issued an edict last night asking him to come to the palace to teach tomorrow. He thought he was going to teach some prince and grandson, but he didn't expect it was someone he had never seen before, Guo Dian. The title given to this man is also very strange. He calls him "strong man" instead of son, which means that he is not the son of a great king.
Then where did this man come from, why was he in the palace, and why did the king ask him to teach in the palace? Also, this man's hair is not wearing a crown and has short hair. Could he be a barbarian from somewhere?
Before officially starting teaching, Su Xu discovered something else. This person didn't seem to know how to sit upright, so he just sat down in front of the case.
This made Su Xu more and more sure of his guess: This person is a barbarian!
Su Xu took out two scrolls of bamboo slips from the package he brought, handed one to Li Nian, and held the other in his hand. He looked at Li Nian and asked, "What book have you read? "Poetry", "Book", "Ritual", "Music", Have you read "Yi" and "Spring and Autumn"?"
Seeing Li Nian's confused look, Su Xu shook his head. This man is a barbarian. He must teach a barbarian how to read and digit. Your Majesty. It’s really hard to accomplish the will of Tao.
"Since you haven't read it yet, let's start with "Poetry"!" Knowing that Li Nian couldn't understand what he said, Su Xu stopped talking nonsense and started teaching.
Su Xu's teaching method is very rough. He reads a sentence, and Li Nian reads a sentence, and occasionally inserts some explanations and descriptions. There is no blackboard, no chalk, and no paper. If they are normal students, according to his teaching method, they can only rely on time and little by little. of grinding.
However, Li Nian came up with a way. He searched for Xiaozhuan in the search engine, and then compared the characters on the bamboo slips among the many characters found in Xiaozhuan. Soon he found that what was written on the bamboo slips was actually It is "The Book of Songs. Guanju":
Guanjujujiu is in the river island. A graceful lady, a gentleman is fond of quarrels.
Scattered waterlilies flow left and right. A graceful lady, I long for her.
I can’t get what I want, but I sleep hard and think about it. Leisurely leisurely, tossing and turning.
There are different kinds of watercress, pick them from left to right. A graceful lady, she is a friend of the piano and the harp.
Assorted waterlilies are grown on both sides. The fair lady is played with bells and drums.
He just doesn't understand the language of this era, can't speak the language of this era, and he's not really illiterate. As long as someone teaches him the pronunciation of the characters of this era, he won't be too slow to learn.
Su Xu also discovered this. The barbarian he thought was not as difficult to learn as he thought, but learned very quickly. After he corrected it several times, he was able to read through this " "Zhou Nan·Guanju", although there are still some stumblings.
‘I didn’t expect this barbarian to be stupid! ’
If Li Nian knew what Su Xu was thinking, he would definitely point at himself: Me, a barbarian?
Well, he is from Shu. According to the location of his hometown, he can really be called a barbarian in this era.
