Chapter 304 304 Is it so hard to tell a good joke?
After Lin Youde brushed up his reputation with a plagiarized tune, the dance continued.
When it came to the sixth or seventh song, someone finally couldn't help but run and invite the fox, who was sitting next to him to drink and eat, and the fox was not polite, and stood up and went to the dance floor.
So Lin Youde and Xia Li, who stood next to him as a guard, were left.
Lin Youde glanced back at Xia Li, then stood up and walked to the terrace outside the ballroomβsuch a dance would definitely have a terrace to facilitate the men and women who had formed "friendships" through guΓ² to continue to develop their friendships, although these men and women were ostensibly out to breathe.
Lin Youde took two glasses of wine on the way to the terrace, and when he got outside, he leaned his back on the railing, faced Xia Li who was following him, and handed over the wine glass in his hand.
Xia Li didn't shirk it, and naturally touched the glass with Lin Youde after taking the glass, but after clinking glasses, she only took a sip of wine, and the amount was negligible.
Lin Youde took a big sip very happily, after staying here for six years, he gradually got used to Western wine, and some of the wine also drank out of the feeling, such as the cocktail he is holding now, the bartender in Sanssouci Palace is particularly good at mixing the same thing, Lin Youde has to drink a good drink every weekend, so when the waiter passed him just now, he took it when he saw the color of the wine.
The night breeze in Paris blew on Lin Youde, making him feel very comfortable.
He continued to take small sips of his drink while gazing out at the Eiffel Tower in the distance.
Xia Li also kept quiet, if this girl didn't smile, she was actually the same beautiful but unrecognizable kind as Lily Marlene, but it was particularly pleasing to the eye when she laughed. So while admiring the Eiffel Tower, Lin Youde was thinking about how to make Xia Li laugh.
He decided to tell a joke.
"Miss Charlie, do you want to hear a joke?"
"You're a guest, and if you have to speak, there's no way I'm going to shut you up." Judging by Xia Li's attitude, she was not very interested.
But Lin Youde still decided to continue: "The female reporter went to interview a village and saw an old man sitting at the entrance of the village smoking a dry tobacco......"
"What is dry tobacco?" Xia Li asked.
"Uh," Lin Youde realized that his plug-in did not translate this word, indicating that there is no word in French that can accurately correspond to this Chinese word, at least not in French in this time and space, and whether there is an accurate translation of the name Lin Youde in later generations does not know, "That is, a Chinese earthen pipe." β
"Can Chinese farmers smoke pipes?"
"Don't French peasants smoke?" Lin Youde asked rhetorically.
"Of course, but the French peasants have had their own land since the Revolution, and the Chinese peasants should still be serfs, right? For serfs, tobacco should be a luxury. This uncle is definitely not a serf, a free man, right? β
Lin Youde was embarrassed in his heart, and said in his heart that you have so much analysis, and you are not playing detective games, and you are not Miss Sherlock Holmes - wait, Xia Li is French, and the great detective of France should be Arthur Robin, who has been transferred from the strange thief.
It didn't matter, Lin Youde waved away the image of Xia Li dressed as a kamikaze thief Joan of Arc that suddenly appeared in his mind, and turned his attention back to his jokes.
"In short, the female reporter met an old man smoking dry tobacco at the entrance of the village, you don't care what his identity is. The female reporter asked: Old man, have you encountered any happy things recently? β
"This reporter asked such aimlessly, what the hell is she here for?" Xia Li asked suspiciously, "Is this old man her scheduled interviewer?" Even if it's not, it should be related to the incident she wants to interview, so you should ask questions about the incident directly. β
"The female journalist is just here to investigate the social conditions in the village, and she is going to write a report about the customs and people's lives in the village." Lin Youde had no choice but to supplement the setting.
"This kind of report can't attract attention, and the editor-in-chief of the newspaper won't give it a page."
"You don't care about this!" Lin Youde's head is big, what's the matter, is this girl such a character? Was it all a disguise?
"It's just a joke," he said to Charlie, "you listen to me obediently." β
Xia Li nodded.
"Okay, so where did we just go?"
The female reporter asked the old man. Xia Li prompted.
"Oh, ask the old man if he's been happy lately. The old man's face became happy with a brush. β
Xia Li snorted and laughed.
Lin Youde was stunned, looking at the girl's beautiful smiling face with a blank face - where was the laugh just now? Miss Xia Li, don't play your cards like this, can you still play happily?
"Brushing, even use onomatopoeia to describe the speed of changing faces, is this your unique way of expressing Chinese? It's funny. After Xia Li finished speaking, Lin Youde realized that her plug-in would not be able to translate onomatopoeia......
But this is also called a joke?
Lin Youde coughed lightly twice, Xia Li suppressed her smile, and looked like she was listening.
"The old man said that in the winter of the year before last, Lao Zhang's daughter-in-law, Lao Zhang, is a personal name." Lin Youde saw that Xia Li was about to speak, and decisively explained first, "The new daughter-in-law of the old Zhang family was lost, and the whole village went out to look for it, but after finding it, we encountered heavy snow blocking the mountain, and we were trapped in the mountains and had nothing to do, so we did the daughter-in-law of the old Zhang family, which is cool." β
"It's really rough and unrestrained." Xia Li had a surprised expression, "I thought only Russians would do this. β
The female reporter was very dissatisfied with this, so she asked the old man, is there anything else you are happy about? The old man was even happier when he heard the expression on his face, the winter before last, the old Yang family's sheep were lost......"
"Wouldn't it be that the snow will cover the mountains again, and then they will be trapped and have nothing to do, just do that sheep?" Detective Xia Li directly said what Lin Youde was going to say next.
"Well, that's it. The female reporter was even more upset, so she changed her question: "Sir, have you ever encountered anything sad?" AS SOON AS THE OLD MAN HEARD THE SMILE ON HIS FACE, KUCHA DISAPPEARED IMMEDIATELY, "LIN YOUDE'S KUCHA LEARNED THE TUNE OF GUO DEGANG, XIA LI BURST OUT LAUGHING AGAIN, THIS TIME LIN YOUDE IGNORED HER LAUGHTER, AND CONTINUED, "TWO LINES OF CRYSTAL TEARS FLOWED FROM THE OLD MAN'S DRY EYES. He said to the female reporter: "Last winter, I lost ......"
After Lin Youde finished speaking, the terrace fell silent, and the sound of music coming from the ballroom and the insects in the garden outside the railing formed a symphony of early spring in his ears.
Lin Youde and Xia Li stared at each other for a long time before Xia Li said, "It's over?" β
"It's over."
"Where's the laugh?" Xia Li blinked and looked at Lin Youde.
Lin Youde couldn't help but hold his forehead, and said in his heart that he was a fool when he listened to the instructor tell this joke and laughed like a dog during military training.
At this time, Xia Li said: "Wait a minute, the old man lost himself last winter...... Ahahaha, so that's ......"
Although Xia Li was laughing, Lin Youde could see that her laughter this time was different from the laughter she had when she heard onomatopoeia before, and she was smirking to take care of Lin Youde's face.
The proof of this is that her smile is nowhere near as glamorous as it was when she first fluttered.
"Thank you, Miss Charlie." Lin Youde sighed, "I already know that I don't have a talent for telling jokes. β
"Don't mind. I don't think it's your problem, maybe same-sex behavior in your hometown is a relatively rare thing, so it can be used as a joke, but in the European court world, there are not a few nobles who like the same sex, especially in the Bourbon dynasty before the Revolution, almost every noblewoman will have a same-sex confidant dressed in men's clothes, and men will also bring good-looking male servants. β
Lin Youde raised his eyebrows, he was only interested in Chinese history, and he liked foreign history because when he read the cartoon "The Rose of Versailles", he saw that the cartoon said that French women's men's clothing in that era was very common, and the ladies also liked to find a men's beauty as a confidant, and then his curiosity became great, and he ran to confirm whether the historical France was really such a custom. As a result, they were immersed in the history of the Revolution and could not extricate themselves, and then they made up all the history of Europe......
Xia Li's words reminded Lin Youde of "The Rose of Versailles" again.
Lin Youde looked at Xia Li, now she was dressed as a man, her long hair was tied into a bun on her head, and her tuxedo and shirt jacket covered the limelight of what should have been quite plump breasts. Sissi also likes to wear men's military uniforms, but her breasts are too big, and even if she wears a long army coat, it is very obvious, so no one will treat her as a man, but Xia Li has a sense of neutral beauty.
"What's wrong?" Xia Li was kept looking at by Lin Youde, and finally asked curiously, "Is there something wrong with my clothes?" β
"No, it's suitable." Lin Youde paused, hesitated a little and asked, "Miss Xia Li, after you put on men's clothes, your breasts are very inconspicuous, how can this be done?" β
"With a small bra rest, I'll tell you the truth, I'm pretty uncomfortable right now." Saying that, Xia Li frowned, "How on earth did you manage to ask such a shy question to a lady so easily?" Even that Raymond wouldn't talk about a lady's boobs so lightly, or talk about it in front of me, it's quite rude for you to do this. β
"Well," Lin Youde scratched his forehead, and couldn't think of any good excuse for a while, so he decisively threw the black pot to the fox, "It's mainly the fox...... Chihiro's influence. β
"Throwing the black pot to a lady is also not worth advocating, it will lower your rating." Xia Li interrupted Lin Youde's words.
"Uh...... Well, I was wrong, I'm sorry. β
Xia Li sighed, this sigh made Lin Youde feel inexplicable.
Then the girl said, "I don't understand, how did someone like you get Miss Sissi to give up her hatred and hostility towards you and join your side?" β
"This ...... Maybe it's because I'm 18 centimeters. "Lin Youde is a little broken and broken.
"No way, Miss Sissi can't dedicate herself to you, and the fact that she is not pregnant until now is the best proof of that." Xia Li said categorically.
