Genius Girlfriend

Chapter 59: Ancient coins

The air in the early morning was slightly cool, and the white-bellied blue-winged magpie stood on the branch, wailing cheerfully.

Lin Zhixia looked up at the magpie and introduced: "The magpies of passerine, corvidae, and magpie genus, the Latin scientific name is picapica."

Jiang Yubai imitated her pronunciation: "picapica."

Lin Zhixia laughed, "Welcome to Teacher Lin's Latin class."

Jiang Yubai paused: "Have you learned Latin?"

"There are too few Latin textbooks I can find," Lin Zhixia claimed, "I only know the fur."

A few minutes ago, Lin Zhixia had eaten breakfast, feeling a little bit tight in her stomach. She and Jiang Yubai were just hanging out on the campus.

They started from Latin and talked about the "Church Latin" dedicated to Catholicism, as well as the study of science and theology in the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages in Europe, scholars must be proficient in Latin. Because the science, theology, and philosophy of that era were closely related to Latin.

Lin Zhixia said: "There were many principalities, princes, and electors in Europe in the Middle Ages... These countries all issued their own currencies, which caused a very chaotic currency system. I remember that in medieval Italy, there were at least four hundred kinds. Money circulates in the market."

Lin Zhixia tried to bring the topic to the economic direction. In this way, she can talk to Jiang Yubai about currency issues and the financial market. She knew that when Jiang Yubai was studying in Beijing, he had to study various economic theories every day.

Jiang Yubai asked her, "Do you want to see the ancient coins of European countries?"

Lin Zhixia was very shocked: "Do you have it at home?"

Jiang Yubai replied in a low-key manner: "There are several collections."

Lin Zhixia whispered: "I saw in a book that the Rothschild family... they are a world-renowned financial family that has been passed down for hundreds of years. More than two hundred years ago, European princes and nobles liked to collect ancient Coins. A businessman from the Rothschild family often offered ancient coins to the prince of a country. The prince was very happy and valued him so much that he became the number one in the court."

Speaking of this, Lin Zhixia looked up at him: "The collection of ancient coins is too expensive, so don't show it to me."

Jiang Yubai was about to say "I will give you a set." Hearing Lin Zhixia's words, he changed his words: "My batch is not valuable."

Lin Zhixia was suspicious: "Really?"

Jiang Yubai sophistry said: "When you see it with your own eyes, you will have your own judgment."

Lin Zhixia happily proposed: "Okay, when are you free, can you bring those collections over for me to see?"

"Yes." Jiang Yubai agreed generously.

Unconsciously, Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia walked to the door of the doctor's dormitory building.

Several male doctoral students from the School of Physics just bought breakfast from the cafeteria. They wore a set of loose pyjamas, covered with a long down jacket, and stepped on a pair of sneakers, walking slowly to the dormitory building. They look free and unrestrained, simple and simple, and they are full of the noble temperament and superb charm of doctoral students.

Lin Zhixia shouted at them: "Senior Niu Siyuan?"

Niu Siyuan's breathing stopped instantly.

Today, Niu Siyuan is a doctoral student under Professor Shen Zhaohua.

Niu Siyuan loves academics and scientific research. This year is the first year of his Ph.D. He has set a research topic, and the paper has not yet been written... and Lin Zhixia published a paper last year in Niu Siyuan’s coveted Journal of Physical Oceanography.

Whenever Lin Zhixia appeared near Niu Siyuan, Niu Siyuan would feel cold from head to toe.

Niu Siyuan stood at the door of the boys' dormitory, wrapped tightly in the down jacket, and a biting chill surged from his back.

Although he did not look back, he was certain that Lin Zhixia was behind him.

The beautiful morning turned into bubbles, and the crisp bird cry turned into a lament. Niu Siyuan's limbs were stiff and he couldn't take a step forward. His friends were not aware of the situation and were still asking him, "Is that Lin Zhixia from your group? She has a seminar today. Would you like to chat with her?"

Niu Siyuan didn't want to talk to Lin Zhixia at all.

However, he decided to protect his classmates.

He said to those classmates: "Ah, yes, Lin Zhixia is a member of our group. You go first, go back to the dormitory, don't wait for me. I will chat with her."

The students left one after another, and Niu Siyuan was in charge of the break. He stood in front of Lin Zhixia and asked her, "You have something to do with me?"

"It's okay," Lin Zhixia said, "I just say hello to you, why are you so nervous?"

Jiang Yubai answered, "You greeted him, let's go."

Lin Zhixia didn't understand what Niu Siyuan's behavior and behavior meant, but Jiang Yubai saw it clearly.

Niu Siyuan's anxiety and frustration reminded Jiang Yubai of himself when he was nine years old. At that time, Jiang Yubai regarded Lin Zhixia as a competitor and compared her academic performance with her every day. Over the past years, Jiang Yubai has grown a lot.

But Niu Siyuan still hasn't broken the profound meaning of genius. Niu Siyuan carried the lunch box for breakfast and asked quietly: "Can you post another paper on Physics Ocean this year?"

"No." Lin Zhixia told the truth.

Niu Siyuan breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you out of inspiration?"

Lin Zhixia followed Jiang Yubai down the steps. She accidentally leaked a sentence: "I am preparing a computer-oriented paper on data security and high-performance computing. In September this year, I will go to Beijing to attend university."

Niu Siyuan's breakfast is not fragrant anymore. He stood silently at the door of the boys’ dormitory for a few seconds, and then he thought, Lin Zhixia went to Beijing to go to university, then she would not be in Professor Shen Zhaohua’s group-this is a good thing! This is a great thing!

After Niu Siyuan figured it out, he immediately became ecstatic.

With breakfast, he walked to the second floor and passed the good news to his fellow brothers. The brothers are more or less happy. After cleaning up and washing, everyone came to the report hall of the School of Physics in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.

The report hall was full of people.

Lecturers, professors, and deputy deans all sit in the first row. Shen Zhaohua's position is the most conspicuous, with Lin Zhixia sitting behind her. Shen Zhaohua turned his head from time to time and whispered to Lin Zhixia some precautions. Lin Zhixia listened very carefully.

Jiang Yubai is on the right hand side of Lin Zhixia. When Lin Zhixia and Shen Zhaohua were talking, Jiang Yubai took out his digital camera, adjusted the parameters skillfully, and tried to record the video.

Lin Zhixia noticed his movements. She approached him a little bit, and asked quietly, "Are you going to shoot me?"

"Can you shoot?" Jiang Yubai asked her for advice.

"Good, good," Lin Zhixia said cheerfully, "Can you package the video and send it to my email address?"

Jiang Yubai said: "No problem."

Jiang Yubai originally planned to send her a copy. This is Lin Zhixia's first academic report and should be saved by her on the computer as a souvenir.

The host reported Lin Zhixia's name and thesis topic on the stage. With a round of applause, Lin Zhixia walked slowly to the podium. She does not need a speech. Facing the audience, she narrated the content and research methods of the paper fluently.

When she finished her speech, the teacher in the front row asked Lin Zhixia a few questions, and Lin Zhixia responded positively and chatted with them unscrupulously. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, but most undergraduates were afraid to speak up.

After the 30-minute communication time is over, the host will come back to the stage. Lin Zhixia bowed to everyone and walked back to her seat.

Jiang Yubai pressed the mute button and played the short film he shot from the beginning. Lin Zhixia held the digital camera in both hands and whispered: "Do I look like a college student on stage?"

Jiang Yubai commented without hesitation: "Like a doctoral student."

Lin Zhixia smiled sweetly: "When I grow up, I will also be a teacher, just like Professor Shen Zhaohua."

Jiang Yubai joined in and said, "Ms. Lin."

He used to recite the three words "Teacher Lin", and would still be a little reserved and shy, but now he is in the crowded reporting hall, and calmly calls her "Teacher Lin". She couldn't guess his mind, only when he had grown up suddenly.

The seminar started at 10:00 in the morning and ended at 12:30. In addition to Lin Zhixia, four other scholars completed their paper presentations, but Lin Zhixia was the person who received the most attention-because she was too young. She was only thirteen years old, and she had come this far.

After the meeting, many students nearby came here admiringly.

Lin Zhixia even saw the male college students who lined up with her at the gate of the fried pancake shop this morning from the crowd. He still didn't understand the experimental method of Lin Zhixia's paper on physical oceanography. He hesitated for half a second, and asked loudly: "You didn't explain your title. What exactly does the vertical blend in that article refer to?"

Lin Zhixia was startled.

When rehearsing at home, my brother strongly suggested that she explain more professional terms. But she did not follow her brother's advice.

The white-collar Jiang Yu walked her out, and she could only leave a sentence: "There are many modes of vertical mixing, including overall mixing and continuous mixing, sea surface boundary and ocean interior...etc. You can study it again, probably I can figure it out."

The undergraduate stood still and did not catch up.

Leaving the noisy reporting hall and walking on the school path, Lin Zhixia bounced around.

She asked Jiang Yubai how she was doing today. Jiang Yubai praised her first and said that she has clear logic, quick thinking, and can communicate with real scholars.

Can communicate with real scholars?

Lin Zhixia expressed his deep meaning: "Are you trying to say that there are still many listeners...do not understand what I am saying?"

Jiang Yubai shook his head: "Thesis is not the same as popular science. A highly professional paper is not for the general public. Some people don't understand it. This is normal, and I don't understand it either."

Lin Zhixia repeatedly echoed: "Yeah."

She remembered that the Russian writer Gorky had a wise saying-true friends will be happy for your success, and will support and encourage you when you are sad.

Gorky's definition of "true friend" perfectly fits Lin Zhixia's perception of Jiang Yubai.

The fly in the ointment is that Jiang Yubai cannot stay in the provincial capital for too long.

Jiang Yubai wants to prepare for the North American Economics Challenge. His teammates are waiting for him in Beijing.

This winter vacation, Lin Zhixia and Jiang Yubai spent four days together. They met at the Provincial Library as usual, and Jiang Yubai also brought a set of ancient coins from his home for Lin Zhixia to play with. Lin Zhixia was sitting in the study room, putting on silk gloves, using a magnifying glass to point at the ancient coins, studying the patterns, patterns, and characters, and she felt an indescribable complex emotion like a world away.

In her imagination, hundreds of years ago, there were also living men or women who repeatedly touched these metal creations.

The sense of history and culture brought by ancient coins allowed her to find a new perspective to see the difference-she and Jiang Yubai still have many chances to see each other, and she doesn't have to worry about a short separation.

Lin Zhixia maintained a calm mind and passed the last winter vacation of high school steadily.

Soon after the second semester of the first year of high school, Lin Zhixia's notice of admission was also sent to the Provincial No.

In the class meeting of the high school (27) class, the teacher Deng solemnly announced: "Classmates, I have two things to tell you. The first thing is that Lin Zhixia was recommended to Peking University, and the approval documents are down... …"

Before Teacher Deng finished speaking, the whole class suddenly exploded.

The noise was endless. Teacher Deng clapped the podium. When the students gradually calmed down, Teacher Deng continued to say: “The second thing is that the first grade will start a'spring study trip'. The whole year is divided into nine groups, each with three groups. Classes. Our 27 classes and classes 25 and 26 are a group. The destination is Penglai Mountain in Yingzhou, a national 5a natural scenic spot. The meaning of travel is to cultivate your quality in protecting the environment and cherishing resources... Voluntary participation, voluntary participation Sign up."

Cao Wu, the sports committee member in the class, suddenly raised his hand: "Mr. Deng!"

Teacher Deng nodded slightly: "Do you have a problem?"

Cao Wu stood up and asked, "Should we write essays after returning from this research trip?"

"Yes," Teacher Deng confessed without shy. "Your Chinese teacher said, whether you go or not, you must write an 800-word composition when you come back."

The classmates uttered a question of "Ah--".

Teacher Deng slapped the podium again: "Okay, let's not talk nonsense. Later, Lin Zhixia will make a list of research trips and report it to me once it is finished."

Lin Zhixia quickly responded with a good voice.
