Chapter 193: Serenity
Back in the room, Zuo Jiang pulled the three members of George's family to sit in the big living room and talk, Zuo Jiang knew that they must be very tired now due to the time difference, but when it comes to tomorrow's travel, we must first talk to them about tomorrow's arrangement, how can the jet lag be reversed tonight.
Zuo Jiang said to George: "Uncle George, I arranged a five-day tour for your family in Beijing, and at the same time invited a good English tour guide, in five days in Beijing's places of interest can almost be seen, tomorrow we visit the Forbidden City and * Chairman Memorial Hall and the Great Hall of the People, come to Beijing these three places must see, a day can basically see the same." ”
George's family didn't expect this trip to China to be so comfortable, Zuo Jiang arranged very thoughtfully, they even saved the money for staying in the hotel for dinner, and couldn't help but be very happy, when he heard Zuo Jiang say that he was going to these three places tomorrow, George was very excited, he didn't know what the Forbidden City was, but he knew that China's * chairman and the Great Hall of the People, for him, these two places are very mysterious, so he yearns.
George patted Zuo Jiang on the shoulder and said, "Zuo Jiang, this arrangement is so good!" I know that you Chinese* are very charismatic and courageous, and I admire him very much! As he spoke, he gave Zuo Jiang a thumbs up. Then he continued: "It's a pity that he has passed away, but it is worth my trip to see his memorial hall and see his remains!" ”
Zuo Jiang smiled slightly when he saw George's admiration for *, but before he could speak, George said again: "I know the Great Hall of the People, just like our American Congress." A lot of decisions were made from there, and it is said that it is the highest authority in China, so why should it be open to the outside world for ordinary people to visit? ”
Zuo Jiang didn't know why the Great Hall of the People was open for tourists to visit, and he couldn't be sure whether it was the result of the people of the whole country engaging in tertiary industries at that time, so he had to say: "Uncle George, in our country, the people's congress is the highest organ of power in the country, and the people's congress is held in the Great Hall of the People. The people's deputies represent the interests of the broadest masses of the people in China, so it is very necessary for ordinary people to visit the places where they meet, and they must always see what kind of places the deputies they elect decide on major state affairs. ”
Zuo Jiang felt that his explanation was a little confused, but George nodded vigorously when he heard it, "It makes sense." Reasonable. By the way, what kind of place did you say the Forbidden City was? ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Uncle George, the Forbidden City is the place where the ancient emperors of our country lived, also called the Imperial Palace, the Forbidden City in Beijing is the place where the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties of China lived, also called the Forbidden City, is a very large ancient building complex, very magnificent and magnificent, you will definitely like it after you go!" ”
George laughed and said, "I see." I see, your Forbidden City is like our White House, where the president, oh, the highest state of the state works and lives. ”
Zuo Jiang said with a smile: "Uncle George, it's not what you said, the Forbidden City of our country is a place where ancient emperors lived, and now it is only a cultural relic for tourists to visit, not a place where the current leaders live and work." Your president is in the White House, and our country's leaders are in Zhongnanhai. ”
When George heard this, he hurriedly said: "Zuojiang, where is Zhongnanhai, is it allowed to visit now, if we are allowed to participate tomorrow." ”
Zhongnanhai for tourists to visit? Just kidding, don't be so funny, this old American man is really cute! Zuo Jiang had only heard of Zhongnanhai, and he had heard about it on radio and television. When watching some documentaries, it is often mentioned that * in Zhongnanhai Ziguang Pavilion to meet a certain country Diyuan, sometimes there will be some ancient buildings, where he doesn't know where at all, the gate of Zhongnanhai is similar to the noon gate of the Forbidden City, are tall gatehouses, red walls. Long doorway. Of course, these are the places he saw on the TV news in his previous life. There are armed police standing guard on both sides of the gate.
Zuo Jiang explained to George with a smile: "Uncle George, it is an important place in the country, and I don't know where it is, so it's not allowed to visit at all, even if you want to get close to the gate, it's impossible!" ”
Zuo Jiang saw that Harvey, who was sitting on the side, yawned, and what he had to say was already finished, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle George, you and Aunt Stephens and Harvey should go back to the room to rest, if the jet lag doesn't turn around, you will be sleepy, have a good night's rest, we have to travel tomorrow!" ”
George also felt very sleepy at this time, and seeing that his wife Stephens was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, he stood up and said goodbye to Zuo Jiang, and the three of them quickly returned to the room to rest.
Zuo Jiang and Li Biyu were not sleepy at all, and they couldn't sleep when they lay down so early, so in order not to affect the rest of the George family, Zuo Jiang returned to his room and turned on the TV in the small living room to watch. Li Biyu didn't want to go back to the room, so she followed Zuo Jiang to the small living room and watched TV with Zuo Jiang.
There are more than a dozen TV stations, and there are no good programs when they are transferred around, after watching sports news, Zuo Jiang tunes again, and when he is transferred to the Beijing Terrace, he has just started to broadcast a movie, and the beginning of the film is just out of the film, it is a martial arts movie "Fragrance and Sword Rain" filmed in Hong Kong, Zuo Jiang has an impression of this movie, and it is the story of Gu Long's handsome Chu Liuxiangdi, I haven't seen this kind of movie for a long time, Zuo Jiang watched it with great interest.
Li Biyu was not interested in martial arts movies, and when she saw it, she was already yawning, and Zuo Jiang said to her when she saw this: "Sister Biyu, if you are sleepy, go back to your room and sleep!" ”
Li Biyu said: "Zuo Jiang, I'm not sleepy, look at it for a while!" He yawned violently again.
Zuo Jiang smiled and pointed at her and said, "Sister Biyu, you still say that you are not sleepy, look at your yawn, one after another!" ”
Li Biyu's face couldn't help but turn red when her lies were exposed, and she slapped Zuo Jiang angrily and said: "If you are not sleepy, you are not sleepy, and yawning does not necessarily mean sleepy!" ”
If a woman is unreasonable, no one can do anything, Zuo Jiang had no choice but to say: "Okay, okay, Sister Biyu, you are not sleepy, even if I am wrong, it is not okay!" Let's move on. As he spoke, he lay on Li Biyu's lap again and looked at it comfortably.
After the movie ended, Zuo Jiang turned his head to see that Li Biyu was already sitting here asleep. Zuo Jiang saw that it was already more than 11 o'clock in the evening, so he pushed Li Biyu and said, "Sister Biyu, wake up." ”
Li Biyu woke up and habitually wiped the saliva flowing from her mouth with her hand, and said in a daze: "Why am I asleep, Zuo Jiang, what time is it?" ”
Zuo Jiang said: "Sister Biyu, it's almost 12 o'clock in the middle of the night now, and if you don't sleep, you won't be able to get up tomorrow!" ”
Li Biyu said "oh" and said, "It's so late, then I'll go back to the house and sleep." As he spoke, he stood up and walked to Zuo Jiang's bedroom, climbed on the bed, arched the quilt on his head twice, and then didn't move. Zuo Jiang looked at Li Biyu like this, and secretly smiled proudly in his heart, hehe, don't blame me, this is what you asked for!
Zuo Jiang woke up in the morning and looked at his hands and said secretly in his heart: Brother, bitter will be bitter for your brother and me, you are the happiest! Li Biyu put on her clothes with a blushing face and ran back to her room quickly, and rushed into the bathroom for a long time before coming out.
After breakfast, the tour guide Jia Xiaoqian arrived, Zuo Jiang notified the main station to transfer the car and went downstairs with George and his party, Jia Xiaoqian didn't expect Zuo Jiang to charter such a luxurious Lincoln car, couldn't help but look at Zuo Jiang in surprise, and after Zuo Jiang and others got into the car, she opened the front door and sat in the co-pilot's seat.
The cab is separated from the back seat by a piece of soundproof glass, the driver and the tour guide can see the guests behind but can not hear their voices, the soundproof glass is controlled by oil pressure, the driver has a control button, and there is also a control button in the back cabin, which can control its lifting.
The first stop of the visit is the * Chairman Memorial Hall, just 8:30 in front of the door on the long line, Jia Xiaoqian when buying a ticket Zuo Jiang deliberately asked, a ticket is only 3 dimes! This ticket price made Zuo Jiang's heart very shocked, although he had heard others say it before, but the immersive feeling was very different, he couldn't help but ask the tour guide Jia Xiaoqian: "Miss Jia, the ticket for the memorial hall is only 3 dimes?" ”
Jia Xiaoqian said: "Mr. Zuo, the ticket to the memorial hall is expensive, the ticket to the Great Hall of the People is 2 dimes, and the ticket to the Forbidden City is 1 dime!" ”
Zuo Jiang was speechless!
Since photography is not allowed in the memorial hall, visitors are not allowed to bring cameras inside, and there is a special storage place in front of the memorial hall, Zuo Jiang asked Jia Xiaoqian to store the camera brought by George there, and explained it to George.
Casual visits are not allowed in the memorial hall, and you must follow the route prescribed by the organization, and it is not allowed to stop in the middle. When he walked to the crystal coffin containing the remains of *, Zuo Jiang looked very carefully from afar, among the flowers and cypresses, the body of * was lying quietly on his back in the crystal coffin, his body was a gray tunic and his upper body was covered with a bright party flag, and his expression was very peaceful, as if he was asleep. After Zuo Jiang bowed very respectfully, he continued to walk forward with the flow of people, constantly looking back as he walked!
