Mr. Foix's body recovered very quickly. This is normal, just seasick. This problem is not good after a good night’s sleep. So they continued on the road early the next morning. After a whole day of bumps in the carriage, the group finally reached Marseille, the important town of southern France.
The two Joseph brothers were arranged to study French in Orton Middle School, a noble middle school in Marseille. This is an aristocratic school, and the students in the school are naturally aristocrats, although they are only "aristocrats from other provinces." However, even the "nobles of the provinces" are far more "nobles" than the "nobles of Corsica". Aside from other things, just living in the pie, is almost crushing these two poor boys from Corsica.
At the beginning, when I knew that my school was coming to two poor noble Corsican students, the students were generally very interested and welcomed. This is not because they are hospitable, but because there are two dumplings in the school, which is also a very interesting thing for the noble students. Just like the young masters and young ladies in the Grand View Garden, although no one can afford the impoverished Grandma Liu, everyone is looking forward to Grandma Liu's visit. The children of these "aristocrats from other provinces" in the school also desperately need some "Grandma Liu" for them to make fun of to enrich their empty and boring after-school life. Although if they were among the great nobles in Paris, they would be regarded as "country buns".
The image of the two people when they first arrived at Orton Middle School really met the expectations of the noble students in the school. Both of them grew up on the beach, and they were both wild and thick, so their faces were black and red, and their skin was far less delicate than those of his classmates. At first glance, they were full of inferior characteristics. In addition, the height difference between the two people is obvious. Joseph is tall and thin, while Napoleon is short and short. If they are in China, the height difference between the two brothers may remind people of Wu Dahe in "Water Margin". Wu Er, and here, the students immediately gave them a nickname: one is called Don Quixote, the other is called Sancho. Until many years later, when Joseph was writing to Napoleon, he sometimes jokingly called Napoleon "My dear Sancho", and wrote "Don Quixote de La Mancha" in the place of the inscription. ". When Napoleon responded, he would call himself "Don Quixote" and Joseph called "Sancho". Because he felt that, in terms of character, he was closer to the knight fighting the windmill, and the rational Joseph was closer to Sancho.
There are indeed many things that can bring happiness to the students in this school. The first is the accent when speaking. The noble students in the school, although they are all from the provinces, can speak French with a taste of Paris. As for Brother Joseph, his brother Joseph is a little better. Although his French also has serious accent problems, At least, it's still French. But his brother Napoleon is different. His French not only has a serious Corsican accent, but also contains a lot of Corsican words, which is hardly French. So in the class, one of the things that boring classmates like to do most is to imitate the accents of the two brothers and some of their actions that are very earthy in the eyes of these noble children.
Generally speaking, the more shallow and incompetent people are, the more they like to laugh at other people’s flaws and take pleasure in it, especially when this person is clearly superior to himself in terms of ability.
Although Napoleon's spoken French is not very good, he and Joseph's performance in learning is quite outstanding. Of course, Joseph, a traveler from the 21st century, has knowledge far beyond this era. Pretending to be a master in aristocratic schools is not difficult. Even for him, how to conceal his knowledge that is too much beyond the times is what makes him even more troublesome. Basically, in addition to subjects such as art, he can easily crush everyone in the school in terms of academic performance.
As for Napoleon, although he didn't have the cheating stuff in Joseph's mind, he was naturally smart, and since he learned about the knowledge from Joseph, especially the importance of mathematics, geography, history and physics to war , He is very serious about learning, especially for these subjects closely related to war. Innate intelligence, coupled with a serious learning attitude, made Napoleon perform quite prominently in these disciplines. The students of the "provincial aristocrats" in these disciplines are far from Napoleon; in addition to the spoken language In almost all disciplines outside, it is far inferior to Joseph.
After being suppressed by the brothers at the IQ level, these noble classmates became more and more like to maliciously imitate the spoken words of the brothers. In the beginning, they targeted Joseph. This is natural. Joseph is tall. Although he is currently thinner and looks a bit like a bamboo pole, this is just a by-product of the rapid increase in the height of young people. Who does not want young people to grow taller and taller? And Joseph looked good, although his face was slightly darker. In addition, his various subjects are almost top-notch, you say, why don't such a guy hurry to die!
However, the noble classmates quickly abandoned the goal of Joseph, because whenever they deliberately provoke Joseph in front of Joseph, imitating his accent, they always fail to get the feedback they hoped for. They hope to see Joseph panic or angry in the face of these actions. No matter which kind of feedback it is, it will give them a chance to appreciate and bring them endless happiness.
However, Joseph's reaction was completely unexpected. When they played their set in front of Joseph, Joseph did not show panic or anger, but appreciated their performance with a smile on his face. He looked at them like watching a circus. Like monkeys.
This kind of reaction is naturally impossible to bring them happiness, so they turned their goal more towards Napoleon. Compared to Joseph, Napoleon's weaknesses are obviously more. Napoleon was shorter, with a heavier accent and more black spots. More importantly, Napoleon's reaction is more fun. Because whenever they provoke Napoleon in this way, they can easily appreciate his anger.
But they soon discovered that it was no fun to stimulate Napoleon. Unlike stimulating Joseph, stimulating Joseph, although there is no happiness, at least there is no danger. But once Napoleon felt that he was offended, he would launch a counterattack without hesitation, and counterattack in the most inferior way, that is, using violence, punching and kicking, and even biting with teeth.
Though the young men in the school are taller than Napoleon, they lack the training for this kind of fighting. Fighting skills are also a required course for nobles, but that refers to fighting with swords. (At that time, it was very popular to use the method of duel to solve problems, and the fighting technique of the Swift Sword became a compulsory skill for the nobles. Of course, the age of the middle school students in Orton Middle School was not enough to control the Swift Sword. Weapons, so they usually learn more of the small sword technique.) As for the barbarians fighting with their hands, fists, nails and teeth, they don’t know anything. So once they fight, they will always suffer. Moreover, Napoleon's hands were overcast, and the beating was painful, but it did not leave any obvious marks. Once the teacher came, Napoleon could always behave worse and more aggrieved than the one who was beaten.
As a result, everyone found that the Joseph brothers were not so fun, and not only were they not fun, they also made them all kinds of uncomfortable. So fewer people took the initiative to provoke their brothers, but on the other hand, the two brothers were also isolated by his classmates. But neither Joseph nor Napoleon dismissed this isolation.
"This is a group of guys who are destined to be abandoned by history. UU reading www.uukanshu.com is not worth investing even a little bit of energy on them. Thinking that such guys will become the upper class of France in the future, I am visiting Toulon. The anxiety caused by seeing those warships disappeared. What's more, you know, I will not stay in this school for too long. Mr. Lufrey, who teaches mathematics, told me that the school can recommend one this year The students go to Brienne Military Academy, which is a publicly funded military academy, where I can learn all kinds of military skills. If Joseph does not compete with me, (Joseph, a lofty guy, is longing for those schools in Paris. And the University of Paris, he doesn’t want to think about how old he is. Moreover, how can our family afford the tuition of a school like the University of Paris) I think I can definitely get this place because of the other delicate, feminine nobles My child doesn’t plan to go there to study at all. But I think this is the most suitable school for me.
This is a letter from Napoleon the Great that was attacked many years later. Napoleon told his father that he was in Austria. The evaluation of those students in the middle school.
As stated in the letter, Napoleon will not continue to study at Orton High School for too long. Perhaps in the tail of spring, he will be transferred to Brienne Military Academy. As for his brother Joseph, he was indeed thinking about the Louis the Great School in Paris, as Napoleon said. This school is the best middle school in France, and more importantly, it has the highest scholarship in France for outstanding students. These scholarships can fully support a student's normal study and living expenses in Paris. For example, Robespierre, who will be the best in the future, received a scholarship of six hundred francs when he graduated from Louis the Great School.
