1. Super Student 054 Mingyuan's program
Thinking of this, she made a phone call and asked where Ma Tianchang's team was, and after getting the answer that it would take ten minutes to arrive, she impatiently said "hurry up" before hanging up the phone.
When Ma Tianchang answered the phone, the people in the car were very quiet, and the gentlemanly demeanor of the Americans was displayed here at a glance.
In the end, it was the old Chinese man Lao Liu who saw Ma Tianchang at a glance and actually took a mobile phone with a cracked screen.
Immediately said in English: "Xiao Beauty, you are also an overseas Chinese in the United States, why do you use such a bad mobile phone for your grandson."
Besides, this screen is cracked, and you still let your grandson use it? It's too economical, isn't it?"
Ma Tianchang heard him say this, and was afraid that he would give Mrs. Xiao a loss, so he hurriedly replied in English first: "Grandpa Liu, I bought this mobile phone with my own money."
I never let my grandmother spend money on this kind of thing.,In addition, this screen was just broken.,Isn't this to welcome you.,There's no time to change it.。 ”
Lao Liu smiled and switched to Mandarin and said, "Good boy, you are not very old, and you are still in school, right?
Why, with your grandmother's wealth, do you still have to work while going to school?"
Ma Tianchang also replied in Mandarin: "I'm still studying at the Kaifeng Science and Technology University." I usually do some tutoring work. ”
Mrs. Xiao interjected: "My grandson has not learned to rely on his parents or relatives since he was a child, my education is the same as our American education, and I do my own things." ”
The old American lady named Linda immediately gave a thumbs up: "Dear Xiao, your grandson's study must be very good."
He speaks English very well and is very gentlemanly, you handed it over yourself, right?"
"Of course, my grandson is excellent in every way. ”
Mrs. Xiao replied with a pun. Listening to the words of her old classmates praising Ma Tianchang, she felt like praising her own grandson, and she enjoyed it very much.
Education in the United States is very different from that in China, there is no shame in having one's own rich offspring to work, and others praise their juniors, and they do not need to be humble.
Yan Min was surprised by Ma Tianchang's affinity when she saw this VIP team in front of the Ming Garden, and she saw at first glance that he seemed to be quite close to these foreigners.
And when they greeted each other in the past, although they didn't show very coldness, they obviously didn't have that cordial feeling.
But when I think that I only have a few broken English greetings, it seems that people don't pay much attention to them, and it seems to be a matter of course.
However, at this time, her opinion of Ma Tianchang's "idiocy" has changed.
Mingyuan is the only five-A scenic spot in Qifeng City, and there are round-robin performances in the garden every day.
The actors, crew, and shopping staff inside are all dressed in Song Dynasty costumes.
In the eyes of foreigners, these dresses and performances are very new.
Ma Tianchang's explanation in Mingyuan was very good, and several young American girls kept asking questions around him, and he could answer them one by one.
They were very interested in Mingyuan's program, but they couldn't understand the dialogue there, so Ma Tianchang translated them one by one, and his translation was also humorous and funny, making those girls laugh non-stop.
In this way, he actually talks a lot more than the average tour guide.
These American girls, who were half a head taller than him, looked at him with a smile in their eyes when they saw his interesting translation, and seemed to be quite interested in him.
The most interesting performance in the afternoon of Mingyuan was the Battle of the Bianhe River, which was close to 20 minutes of performance time.
The second is the folk stunt and the king's recruitment of sons-in-law, in comparison, other programs are some to watch or not.
Under the leadership of Yan Min, everyone first walked to the performance site of Wang Yuanwai's son-in-law.
At this time, the performance was about to start, and Ma Tianchang explained to them in English before the start: "During the ancient Northern Song Dynasty, Tokyo, the capital of China at that time, is now Kaifeng City.
The daughters of rich families have grown up to the age of marriage, and if there are no men she can see, they can build a colorful building, throw hydrangeas, and choose their own husbands with the help of their parents.
Then on the day of throwing hydrangeas, it will attract many men to watch.
The rules for throwing hydrangeas are that whoever grabs the hydrangea can be the husband of the lady who throws the hydrangea.
If the young lady is beautiful, it will naturally attract many people to grab the hydrangea.
After all, if you get hydrangea, you can not only marry a beautiful wife, but also recognize a rich man as your father-in-law, such a good thing, why not do it?!"
Shui Mi Tao asked puzzledly: "Then who does she fancy just call Shangcailou to go to? Why do you want to throw any hydrangeas?"
If the hydrangea is grabbed by someone she doesn't like, isn't she going to marry someone she doesn't like? Why bother?"
Ma Tianchang listened to her question, and he couldn't answer it.
Just said: "Ancient Chinese women were still quite reserved, maybe they were embarrassed to be so straightforward."
And at that time, only men wanted to divorce and could write a letter of divorce.
If a woman does not marry well, as long as the man does not agree, they have no right to file for divorce. ”
Fig wondered: "I have decided to find a man by myself, what is there to be embarrassed about? Chinese women are really strange."
And the rule that women like you can't divorce men is also very strange, which is very unfair and unhumane.
Was it true that all the ancient people were like this? Or was it only the ancient Chinese people who were like this?"
Before Ma Tianchang could answer her question, Miss Wang's hydrangea had already been thrown down, and a guy who was not good-looking was lucky enough to grab the hydrangea and followed the actor who played the family into the backstage.
Peach said with great regret: "Such a beautiful young lady was obtained by this ugly fellow like this? ”
Ma Tianchang said with a smile: "It's just a show, the actor just casually threw the hydrangea down to the tourists who are interested in participating."
If this is a lifelong event, it will definitely not be thrown away so hastily. ”
Peach was relieved, but said with a regretful face: "I knew that this was something we could participate in, and I should have tried to grab the hydrangea." ”
Ma Tianchang looked at the blonde and blue-eyed American girl who was even more beautiful than the actor who played Miss Wang, and secretly sweated.
The heart said that in ancient times, I had never heard of a woman coming out to pick up the hydrangea, but he said: "Next time you have a chance, let's shoot in advance!"
In fact, Ma Tianchang has never seen these performances, he is the first time to come to Mingyuan, if it weren't for Yan Min to lead the way, he wouldn't even know which performance started when and where.
Coming to the folk performance venue, these guests from the United States felt incredible when they saw the leather whip smoking cigarette butts and qigong fire-breathing programs.
These Chinese arts, which are somewhere between qigong and juggling, make these foreigners very happy to watch.
