I gritted my teeth, steeled myself, and decided not to redeem the car. I'll save it for a crucial moment later.
Even if the exchanged energy has been upgraded and is sufficient, isn't it better to have more of that stuff so that you feel more secure?
Just like silver, you can do without it, but you can't live without it.
The next day, perhaps because I had been lacking sleep recently, I finally woke up naturally.
Kaiyang waited for her, but didn't have breakfast.
"Didn't you enter Yun Gu Academy? Why haven't you gone yet? Is it because of me?" Hong Xiaoduo asked Kaiyang, who was sitting next to her, at the dinner table.
Kaiyang didn't dare lie. He pursed his lips and nodded, bracing himself for the criticism he would receive.
Hong Xiaoduo couldn't bear to scold him for this, so she put a fried egg on his plate and said that they wouldn't go shopping later. She suggested that he take advantage of her presence to review and reinforce the foreign language he had learned.
Generally speaking, it takes six to two years of English learning to communicate normally with foreigners. However, this requires that the learner be talented, hardworking, and dedicate enough time to learning English.
Another advantage is encountering an experienced English teacher, and clearly, Hong Xiaoduo, who majored in English and graduated with excellent grades, is one such teacher.
Although Kaiyang's English isn't the best among the seven children, it's still quite good.
With a professional teacher like Xiaoduo teaching them, the children's pronunciation is quite standard, and they have mastered grammar very well. Even while traveling, the children haven't missed learning a lot of vocabulary, and their listening and speaking skills are also quite good, according to Xiaoduo.
What children lack now is real, face-to-face, substantive interaction and practice with genuine foreigners.
Hong Xiaoduo even considered taking the children on a trip to foreign countries if Old Man Luo hadn't unlocked the mission yet.
She can make fake travel permits herself. As for the documents and certificates needed to travel to foreign lands, she should be able to make them herself if she can just look at the real thing for reference.
Hong Xiaoduo and Kaiyang had just finished eating breakfast when Wei Junpei returned from the morning court session. Because he had gone on an empty stomach, he said he was starving.
Before finding his grandson, after the morning court session, he would always have his subordinates buy something on the street to eat a quick bite, and he would never go back to his residence to eat before going to the Ministry of Personnel.
Now that they've just found their grandson, they're more attached to home than before. Besides, they want to come back and talk to Xiaoduo more.
When I got back, I asked around and found out that Xiaoduo and Kaiyang were having breakfast in the cafeteria, so I came straight over.
"Uncle, is something bothering you? You seem to have something on your mind." Hong Xiaoduo liked this elder very much, so she asked directly.
Wei Junpei sighed and said, "It's not that I, your uncle, have encountered a problem, it's the Ministry of Rites. The foreign delegation will arrive tomorrow, but the interpreter at the Ministry of Rites, I don't know if it's because of nervousness, suddenly got a fever and his voice became hoarse and he can't speak."
"Ah, does the Ministry of Rites only have one interpreter?" Hong Xiaoduo asked.
"There was also an assistant translator, but he went back to his hometown for a funeral, thousands of miles away. Unless he can fly back," Lord Wei said helplessly, scooping up the meat porridge in front of him.
"Uncle, do you have a good relationship with the Ministry of Rites? Is that why you're worried about him?" Hong Xiaoduo asked again.
Lord Wei shook his head: "It's just a relationship between officials in the same court. However, the interpreter cannot speak when the delegation arrives. Although the other delegation also brings an interpreter, it will definitely be detrimental to our Fengliang Kingdom in terms of cultural exchange, business, or anything else."
Furthermore, this would also damage the prestige of our Fengliang Kingdom.
Upon hearing this, Kaiyang turned to look at Hong Xiaoduo, thought for a moment, and then lowered his head to eat the meat pie seriously.
Hong Xiaoduo noticed Kaiyang's reaction. After thinking for a moment, she asked Lord Wei a few more questions about the foreign delegation and confirmed that they were English speakers. She then made her decision.
"Uncle, do you believe me?" Hong Xiaoduo asked with a smile.
Lord Wei was taken aback, looking at her without understanding what she meant or why she would ask such a question.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "Do you have a suitable recommendation, girl? But the other party is in the capital right now, otherwise it might be too late, right?"
“Well, I’ll recommend myself. I happen to know the foreign language of this mission. If you trust me, Uncle, could you please ask the one on the dragon throne if he needs my help?” Hong Xiaoduo didn’t mention that Kaiyang also knew it.
Just now, while having breakfast, Kaiyang said that he hadn't told his family that he was learning a foreign language.
"Girl, you really know it?" Lord Wei still couldn't believe it. There were very few people in the entire Fengliang Kingdom who knew foreign languages.
However, considering her secret technique for identifying blood relatives, it's not impossible that she might know foreign languages.
Hong Xiaoduo smiled and nodded: "I really can, and not just at a superficial level."
Upon receiving a positive reply, Lord Wei could no longer remain seated. He immediately got up and headed out. Not only was the Ministry of Rites anxious about this matter, but the person in the palace was even more anxious.
Having reached the door, Lord Wei suddenly stopped and turned to look at Hong Xiaoduo.
Hong Xiaoduo thought he was worried and wanted to confirm with her.
"Xiao Duo, how many thousand taels of gold would be appropriate for me to tell His Majesty?" Lord Wei asked very seriously.
Hong Xiaoduo was taken aback, then burst out laughing after realizing what she meant...
