The shout came from the side and in front, and it was a young female voice. It was definitely not Jiang Chen.
“Your Highness the Princess.”
Xiang Tianxun stopped and smiled.
As soon as she stopped, Jiang Chen and the other two people behind them could only stop.
That was a little girl, standing in the garden. She was estimated to be about eight or nine years old, that is, a primary school student. Despite his age, he gives people a sense of maturity.
"Teacher Xiangtian, is this the friend you said?"
The little girl wearing a dignified black dress moved her eyes towards the unfamiliar Jiang Chen and Duanmu Liuli.
"Yes, Your Highness, Princess."
While replying, Kaoru Xiangtian reminded in a low voice, "This is the youngest princess in the royal family, Mei."
Princess .
This was the first time Jiang Chen heard such a title in reality.
Although the title is very special, this little girl does not have the aura of Buling Buling. She even looks very ordinary, with straight bangs and small eyes. The only thing that attracts attention is probably her mature look. The temperament of an adult.
Same.
The special nature of the royal family is just artificially exaggerated. People are not born with one nose and two eyes.
Jiang Chen smiled politely at the youngest princess of Japan. Xiang Tianxun asked him not to talk nonsense, but he seriously didn't say a word.
“You go down first.”
Princess Mei ordered the two maids behind her.
The maid smiled slightly and left silently.
Xiang Tianxun walked over with Jiang Chen and the others.
"Sorry, Your Highness, the entrance to the Imperial Palace was blocked by tourists, so it was delayed a little bit."
Although the Japanese royal family has declined, the title of princess is still real, and you can't really treat her like a child.
Just "clogging with tourists"?
What a clever way to describe it.
Jiang Chen experienced the situation and felt that sometimes, the royal family may not really be blamed for being stupid, it may just be that their eyes and ears are blinded, and they have no way of knowing the truth.
“It’s okay, Teacher Xiangtian.”
Jiang Chen deliberately observed Taoist Duanmu.
Although she is an angry young person, she still has principles. At least she has not shown any disgust or hostility towards a child so far.
“This is my student when I was teaching in China, Jiang Chenjun, and this is his friend. They are traveling to Japan this time and would like to visit the Imperial Palace.”
“ Mr. Jiang. "
To be honest, this princess of the Japanese royal family is indeed impeccable in manners and etiquette. She has no royal airs. After Xiang Tianxun introduced her, she immediately greeted Jiang Chen dignifiedly.
A child is so polite. Jiang Chen naturally couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb at this time, and immediately replied: "Sorry to bother Princess Mei."
"The Imperial Palace has always welcomed guests. , and Mr. Jiang and Mei Yi are both students of Mr. Xiangtian, and Mr. Jiang is still Mei Yi’s senior.”
Jiang Chen admitted that he judged people by their appearance.
A little girl of about eight or nine years old can be so smart and intelligent, which once again proves a truth from the side.
The proportion of children born from abundant resources will definitely be much higher than that of ordinary families.
Jiang Chen didn’t know how to answer the question for a moment. It wasn’t because of the maturity of this little Japanese princess, but because he was from China, not a Japanese. It was a bit hard to pronounce what he called princess.
"Your Highness Princess, your fluent Chinese should have surprised Mr. Jiang Chen."
Xiang Tianxun helped to rescue the enemy.
Jiang Chen, who was able to communicate without any barriers, realized it later.
Yes.
This little Japanese princess actually speaks Chinese all the time.
“It’s all thanks to Mr. Xiangtian’s good teaching, otherwise Mei would not have learned so quickly.”
At such a young age, he has actually mastered the ways of the world.
"Do you need Mei Yi to take you around the Imperial Palace?"
Mei Yi asked proactively.
“No need.”
Jiang Chen politely refused and signaled to Xiang Tianxun to please.
"Your Highness, let's get started."
Obviously, this little princess's proficiency in Chinese should be attributed to Xiang Tianxun. He taught Japanese in China, but started teaching Chinese in Japan. This foreign teacher who can obviously rely on his looks to make a living but relies on his talent is indeed very smart.
Jiang Chen originally thought that giving lessons to the royal family would be more solemn. In the end, he thought too much and actually started directly on the stone bench in the garden. There was no blackboard or textbook, and Yayi's words made Jiang Chen almost burnt from the outside.
"Teacher Xiangtian, did Tang Sanzang leave the Daughter's Kingdom next?"
Tang Sanzang?
A country of daughters?
Jiang Chen was stunned at first, then stunned, and then couldn't help but look at Xiang Tianxun who looked calm.
Is this her usual teaching content?
In the Japanese Imperial Palace, talk about Journey to the West?
"Your Highness Princess, what did we talk about last week?"
"The king of the daughter country invited Tang Sanzang at night and wanted him to stay."
Mei Yi Eyes showing expectation.
At this moment, not to mention Jiang Chen, even Duanmu Liuli’s eyes started to look a little strange.
After all, even if she was isolated from the world, she must have read the four major classics. She said that the old Taoist priest often bought her books.
Jiang Chen looked at Xiang Tianxun strangely. Isn’t it too easy to eat this “imperial food”?
Perhaps noticing his gaze, Xiang Tianxun turned his head and said, "Jiang Chenjun is from China. He has read this story since he was a child. Your Highness, why don't you let him tell you?"
Mea Yi is happy. Nodding, "Then please leave it to Mr. Jiang."
That's so polite.
It can even be said that politeness is too much.
This little princess seems to represent the humble and polite side of the Japanese people.
Jiang Chen was caught off guard and Xiang Tianxun gave him an encouraging look.
Sure enough.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
"It's been so long that I don't remember much. Let's let Mr. Xiangtian explain it."
Jiang Chen refused, not because he was ungrateful, but because he really couldn't speak. Although he didn't know that the royal family was How can I pay Xiangtian Xun, but waste my class time on Journey to the West? Isn’t this just fooling a child?
Xiang Tianxun did not force him and took over the conversation, "The king of the daughter country met with Tang Sanzang in the evening. The two sat beside the bed. The room was filled with red candles. The candlelight was shaking. The king of the daughter country held Tang Sanzang's hand, showing affection and reasoning, hoping that Tang Sanzang could stay and rule the country with her. However, her younger brother only had one goal in mind, which was to go to the West to seek truth. Sutra.”
The story is the same story.
Not piracy.
But Jiang Chen’s eyelids jumped when he heard this.
The key point is that the eight or nine-year-old princess Mei Yi actually showed a look of loss and even sadness, "Has Tang Sanzang left yet?"
It seems that the child is too mature, not A good thing.
At this age, you should be excited to watch Ultraman or Sailor Moon.
Xiang Tianxun nodded, "Yes, Your Highness, Tang Sanzang still rode his white horse the next day, amidst the shouts of his younger brother, the King of the Daughter Kingdom..." "Ahem."
A sudden cough interrupted Xiang Tianxun's words.
Xiang Tianxun turned his head and saw Jiang Chen holding his hand in front of his mouth as if his throat was uncomfortable.
"Mr. Jiang, please drink water."
There is tea and snacks and fruits on the stone table.
Jiang Chen picked up the tea and took a sip.
“I remember that Tang Sanzang wanted to leave, but when he heard the call of the King of the Daughter Kingdom, he turned around, looked at the King of the Daughter Kingdom, finally got off his horse, took off his cassock, turned around and ran back. Hugging the King of the Daughter Country."
"..."
"..."
Xiang Tianxun was not only silent, but his expression became as weird as Jiang Chen's just now. .
Duanmu Liuli, who was listening in, was the same.
She must be doubting in her head right now, could it be that the book Master bought her was a pirated version?
"Mr. Jiang, is it true? Tang Sanzang didn't leave?"
Mea Yi asked urgently, with the light of hope shining in her eyes again.
Girls’ feelings are always poetry.
Girls, it is human nature to long for lingering love stories, but is this girl too young?
“Well, Tang Sanzang stayed in the daughter country.”
Jiang Chen nodded without changing his expression and put down the tea cup.
“But doesn’t he still want to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?”
Mea Yi asked,
Jiang Chen didn't panic, "Don't he still have three apprentices? Just leave it to the three apprentices to get them."
"Is the story over here?"
It won't end anymore. , that’s not giving people free wages.
Jiang Chen coughed lightly, "Wouldn't it be nice to end it here?"
"But Tang Sanzang set out from the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty and experienced so many difficulties. His goal was to achieve success. To the truth."
To be honest, this little princess is indeed a good student. It may be difficult for ordinary teachers to deal with it, but Comrade Jiang Chen is the master who can teach the proud students of Beijing University.
He was unhurried and unhurried, "Does the Scripture have to be a specific item? For everyone, the Scripture may be different. For each person's different life stages, the true Scripture Sutras may also change. For example, Tang Sanzang, when he set out from the Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty, he thought that his sutras were far away in the west. But when he reached the daughter country, he may have discovered that the real west has arrived. He pursued The scripture is right in front of you."
After Jiang Chen finished speaking, the garden in the palace was silent.
Several women of different ages, different identities, different experiences, different temperaments... who had nothing in common in all aspects fell into silence.
In the silence, Yayi suddenly stood up, even more solemnly than before, and gave Jiang Chen a dignified salute.
"Ya Yi has learned a lesson."
Mr. Jiang, who compiled famous works at will, has no shame. The Japanese princess has excellent qualities, and he also showed the style of a country with great Chinese etiquette, and quickly stood up to help her.
"In my humble opinion, Princess Mei just listens."
"They are both students of Mr. Xiangtian, but compared to Mr. Jiang, Mei is really stupid."
Boss Jiang felt quite embarrassed when a little girl of primary school age compared with him, no matter whether he won or lost.
"Your Highness Princess, you are still young. Among your peers, you are already considered very outstanding."
Jiang Chen is okay, no matter how mature and decent this Japanese princess behaves, in He is still a child in his eyes, but Xiang Tianxun is different. She seems to be communicating with an adult from beginning to end. After all, she is from Japan, and her mentality when facing the Japanese royal family must be different from Jiang Chen.
"Teacher Xiangtian, the story of Journey to the West ends in the Kingdom of Women, right?"
Facing the little princess's gaze, Xiangtian Xun could not answer.
Someone has tampered with the plot, could she continue to make it up too?
And even if you want to make something up, you still have to have an idea.
Although Tang Sanzang could only chant sutras or tell Wukong to stop in Journey to the West, he was the soul figure on the journey to obtain sutras.
All the demons and monsters took the risk to block roads and rob the country in order to eat Tang Monk's flesh and become immortal. If Tang Monk was gone and there were only three apprentices left, how could it be so difficult? You can soar through the clouds and mist to reach the western sky.
Boss Jiang’s improvisation blocked the possibility of Xiang Tianxun’s “mixing class time”, so he could only nodded to the little princess and immediately looked at Jiang Chen.
“Come with me.”
The two walked aside.
“You don’t speak when I’m asked to speak, and you talk nonsense when I’m not asked to speak. Jiang Chenjun, is this how Journey to the West is written?”
“I’m just trying to satisfy the little girl’s feelings for you. With the beautiful thoughts of love, Teacher Xiangtian didn’t think that letting Tang Sanzang stay in the daughter’s country, Princess Mei was obviously happier with this ending.”
“You are deceiving the royal family.”
Xiang Tianxun took the matter seriously.
But Boss Jiang is not scared.
The crime of deceiving the emperor is indeed very serious, and it requires beheading, and even the nine tribes have to be implicated, but the monarchy of China collapsed as early as the last century.
Can the Japanese royal family still cure the sins of the Chinese people?
"If Mr. Xiangtian thinks that my subjectivity is malicious deception, then why didn't you expose me just now and chose to cooperate with me."
Jiang Chen looked at the little adult's princess Mei Yi, "Xiangtian The teacher also wants to make her happy.”
The edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
For a child to be so sensible and polite, she must have gone through rigorous training that she should not have to endure at her age.
But this is the world.
Every gain must come with a loss.
After enjoying the glory bestowed by the royal family, you have to pay the corresponding price.
Xiang Tianxun fell silent and looked at the special student who was sitting in a daze, as if he was obsessed with the ending of Journey to the West.
“Her Royal Highness the Princess is indeed very pitiful. I am not her only teacher. She has a full schedule every week, so I teach her Journey to the West so that she can get a small improvement in the heavy curriculum. A little happiness."
Is this an explanation, or is it a quibble for "mixed class time"?
"Teacher Xiangtian is careful, the guilt of talking about the royal family and deceiving the royal family should be about the same."
Jiang Chen said seriously, "I didn't hear anything just now."
Xiang Tianxun bit his lip, then stared with a pair of charming eyes, then stretched out his hand and pinched Jiang Chen's waist.
"Don't forget that I am your teacher. One of the traditions of China is to respect teachers and respect the Tao."
"Teacher Xiangtian, in fact, you have never taught me."
Jiang Chen reminded.
Indeed.
When Kaoru Xiangda was working at Tokyo University, Jiang Chen's current class was about to graduate, and the two had no substantial teacher-student relationship.
"I haven't taught you, is that why you don't respect me?"
Xiang Tianxun has indeed wronged someone.
If he didn't respect his teacher, think about what happened to the wealthy daughter of a rich man whose clothes were forcibly stripped off.
"Mei, aren't you in class?"
Just when Xiang Tianxun was dragging irrelevant personnel to desert during work hours, someone inappropriately walked into the garden. (End of this chapter)
