Chapter 718 (1/2)

Lin Su returned with a beautifully bound album of ”Peony Pavilion” on both sides. A simple stage has been set up on the terrace of Linshui not far from the pavilion, and the small table is also full of more than a dozen famous dishes made by crabs.

He sat down quietly at the place where he had just been. Lin Su waited for the maid standing next to Simon to introduce all the dishes on the table to the man in a soft voice. Then he handed over the album and said, ”Mr. westero, this is the original word of Peony Pavilion. I don't know which kind of Chinese Mr. westero is learning. I chose traditional and simplified versions.”

Simon picked up a book and looked at it. It's a traditional version. He didn't change it, so he opened it.

Although it can't be written, traditional reading is not a problem for Chinese people at all. Even if two generations change their identities, Simon is the same.

In fact, Simon prefers traditional Chinese calligraphy because it is easier to show the structure and charm of Chinese characters.

Seeing that Simon chose the traditional version, Lin Su's eyes flickered slightly, but his tone was not different. He said: ”the Peony Pavilion is divided into fifty-five plays, which can't be finished in one meal. I chose the most famous one, Jingmeng. Mr. westerlow, do you think it's ok?”

Simon read the opening of the Peony Pavilion with great interest, and said, ”ahead of time, I'll keep the dream after dinner.”

Lin Su is slightly a Leng, saw an eye full table dish, immediately understand come over, nod a way: ”good.”

A moment later, the sound of silk and bamboo came from the terrace not far away.

Girl a listened to the melody in her ear, watched a maid demonstrate how to use eight pieces of crab, and finally glanced at her boss who had started to use tools to eat crab while talking with Ms. Lin in a low voice.

Even though she has seen too many peculiarities in him, Alison is still surprised that her boss can speak Chinese fluently from last night to now.

Moreover, compared with other countries, Alison is also easily aware of the uniqueness of her boss in China.

The boss doesn't like Japan, not because he was driven out by the Japanese yesterday, but because he doesn't like it instinctively.

For China, although a man obviously conceals something, she can still feel the natural closeness.

This reaction is contrary to Westerners' perception of Japan and China.

Girl a can't think in any direction, so she is more curious.

However, after being with him for such a long time, she didn't know how much curiosity she had accumulated. Alison felt that most of her doubts might never be answered.

Chen Qing, who is about the same age as Chen Qing, saw that girl a was in a daze and reminded her in English with a smile: ”Miss Norris, if you think it's too cumbersome to peel the crab, you can try this snowflake crab bucket. It should be in line with your western taste.”

”Good.”

Alison looks back, smiles and nods.

Chen Qing politely handed over the tableware and introduced the dish to her in English again. After watching Alison begin to enjoy it, she slightly drew her attention from the girl beside her and looked at Simon and Lin Su, who were talking while peeling the crab. Some loss flashed in her eyes. She was chosen to be Simon westero's interpreter. Unfortunately, this big man doesn't need an interpreter at all. She can only serve as his assistant and has no chance to talk with him more.

”Chen, what's the problem?”

Hearing girl a's voice, Chen Qing quickly takes back her eyes, smiles and shakes her head. She orders the maid to take a snowflake crab bucket and put it on her plate. After thinking about it, instead of using chopsticks, she uses the knife and fork specially prepared for the guests with Alison.

At the beginning of the meal, there was a lot less talk.

Half an hour later, after the dinner, the maids cleaned up the table. Simon washed his hands with tea and picked up a cup of warm ginger tea. Then he focused on the stage not far away.

Lin Su's arrangement is very coincidental, just to the ”dream.”.

”The warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warbler warble. People set up small courtyards. This spring is just like last year. ”

Having never heard of Kunqu Opera, Simon thought it would be a dialect.

After Lin Su explained during the meal, he found that most of the lyrics of Kunqu Opera are close to Putonghua, and today's selection is the northern Kunqu opera which further ignores the dialect elements. Simon can basically understand the lyrics without having to understand them.

Lin Su has been quietly watching the performance of the men around him, and found that Simon didn't read the libretto at all. He seems to be immersed in it, and doubts flash in his eyes.

When the ”dream” finished, the stage performance continued, but she couldn't help asking: ”Mr. westrow, what do you think?”

”It turns out that all the splendor and splendor have gone to ruin. What's the best time, who's home. In the morning and in the evening, the clouds and the green porch, the rain and the wind, the smoke and the painting boat, and the time that people in Jinping are looking at, ”Simon said quietly, savoring for a moment, praising:” the beauty of the words is amazing, the words are pearly. ”

Several people in the pavilion, except girl a, including the maid standing by, could not help looking surprised when they heard Simon's words.”Peony Pavilion” is most famous for ”Jingmeng”. In ”Jingmeng”, the section of ”originally colorful” is undoubtedly the existence of Phoenix crown pearl level.

Lin Su has just been quietly wondering whether a man can really understand. At this time, it's a bit shocking to see that Simon can accurately grasp the ”Pearl” in the play.

What's more, can a Westerner who has never set foot in China really use this idiom?

Over the years, Simon has been used to the similar eyes of the people around him. He is neither complacent nor restrained. He is an anomaly in the world. In other people's eyes, only when he is normal can he be abnormal. Only when he is abnormal can he be regarded as normal.

After the ginger tea, Simon said, ”well, that's all for today.”

Lin Su quickly put away the waves in his heart: ”well, Mr. westrow wants to go there next. There are still many places worth seeing in Suzhou.”

Simon stood up and said, ”I'll see the rest next time. I'll go to Guilin in the afternoon. I remember, well, Guilin's landscape is the best in the world, right?”

Lin Su nodded: ”in this case, I need to arrange it.”

Then he couldn't help but look at the man in front of him carefully. This is not an overseas Chinese who has returned home to seek his roots. Obviously, there is no Chinese origin at all.

Simon's private plane stopped in Shanghai and the group returned from Suzhou.

Lin Su left for several hours on the pretext of arranging a trip for Simon, including Chen Qing, who acted as an interpreter for girl a, who also left together.

Simon didn't care what he could guess.

After taking a nap for more than an hour at his residence in Shanghai, Lin Su and Chen Qing returned at two o'clock in the afternoon, indicating that the itinerary had been arranged.

The distance between Shanghai and Guilin is more than 1200 kilometers, so we must fly there.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, they boarded Simon's private plane and flew from Shanghai to Guilin.

This journey is only one and a half hours, Simon just uses the independent communication system on the private plane to deal with some things.

Last week, after the Rwandese government suddenly attacked France, the quarrel between the two sides continued.

However, the French government, which soon understood the reason, quietly withdrew the secret service team from Reggio in southern Italy, and even the two investigative reporters of Figaro were called back.

With these arrangements in place, a senior official of the French government quietly made a call with domay point manor. Janet was in charge of answering the call. Igritte portal later removed the news about France's participation in the Rwanda massacre from the prominent position of the website.

Although the incident has eased on the surface, Simon knows that the French government's hatred for itself must have deepened a bit.
