Chapter 114: Visiting the Temple of Confucius
Early the next morning, Wang Meng drove his father's car to find Taylor, since he brought someone here, then this tour guide must be qualified, right?
"It's pretty early." Taylor opened the door and looked at his watch, it was just seven o'clock.
"Of course, let's go, I'll invite you to have breakfast." Wang Meng said with a smile.
The development of snacks in Shanghai may not be as antique as Yanjing, but there is everything, Wang Meng thought for a long time, and decided to take Taylor to eat soy milk fritters, Wang Meng felt that this was the most suitable thing to eat earlier, of course, he personally thought it was just that.
However, it is obvious that Taylor, who is an American, is not interested in soy milk fritters, although he doesn't hate them, but he doesn't seem to like them very much.
"It's not good to eat something so greasy early in the morning." Looking at the fritters, Taylor frowned, "It's easy to get fat." ”
"Then forget it, let's go with KFC McDonald's." Seeing this, Wang Meng said that he also knows that there are many differences between American culture and Chinese culture, and even if many Chinese experts like this tune, most Americans still don't adapt to the rhythm of China, just like Wang Meng can't get used to eating steaks that can never be cooked in the United States.
Taylor shook his head, "I don't usually eat much in the morning, I look at soy milk and it's pretty good, just drink some of this, when it comes to eating, I still prefer to play more, where are you going to take me to play later?" ”
Wang Meng shook his head and sighed, it seems that Taylor is not a foodie, but a typical plaything, so he can only do what he likes.
"I think you can visit enough places like amusement parks in the United States, even if the amusement parks in Shanghai are quite good, but the American ones are obviously better, so let's go to the more famous tourist attractions."
"Well, I happen to be curious about China." Taylor nodded, like a curious baby.
Wang Meng thought about it, the tourist attractions in Shanghai are famous for nothing more than Longhua Temple, Confucian Temple, Yu Garden, Jade Buddha Temple, Square Pagoda, Zhujiajiao, but if you want to go to all of them, it is impossible to go in one day. "Then let's go to the Confucian Temple first."
"Confucian Temple? Is it the temple of Confucius? "Taylor listened to the name, and he didn't seem to understand it." There seem to be quite a few in the United States, but I haven't been there. ”
"Almost," Wang Meng's English is not very good, although he has played in the United States for a while, and a simple conversation can be done, but he still doesn't know how to say it if the explanation is too esoteric.
"Alright, we'll go out when I'm done with my makeup." Taylor said.
"What kind of makeup are you wearing? It's not about going to the red carpet. Wang Meng looked at Taylor speechlessly and asked.
Taylor smiled, shook his head and said, "Of course it's not the makeup that paints the red carpet, I paint the makeup to be a thief." ”
Thief? Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, yes, although Taylor's popularity in China is not as hot as in the United States, it doesn't mean that no one can recognize her, and then think about the madness of China's star-chasing family now, Wang Meng immediately nodded in agreement, "Okay, it's better to draw it." ”
Soon after, Taylor and Wang Meng, disguised as men, took a car to the Confucian Temple.
"Do you know Confucius? Confucius is a figure in our ancient China, he "On the way, Wang Meng took the trouble to explain to Taylor the background of Confucius, what he had done, Taylor seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Wang Meng's mouth was dry, and then he simply didn't mention it, it was better to talk about something else."
"Wang Meng, will you really stay with the Lakers next season?" Taylor asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Taylor's question surprised Wang Meng, you must know that Taylor is not too interested in basketball, why would he pay attention to this? However, Wang Meng still replied: "It should be, the Lakers uniform team has already said that they will renew the contract with me, and the salary may be less, but I think it doesn't matter, the most important thing is to be happy about playing, as long as you don't starve to death." ”
"You're asking for a lot of money." Taylor laughed, "But how did I keep hearing that the Lakers were preparing to trade you?" ”
"Those are all scandals, and a star without scandal is not a good star." Wang Meng smiled and said, "May I ask Miss Taylor, have you ever had an affair?" ”
"Of course." Taylor rolled his eyes and laughed mischievously, "I have a lot of scandals, do you want to hear that?" ”
"Do you have a rumored boyfriend?" Wang Meng asked aggressively. "There are several, what are the names! Where to stay! ”
"There seems to be only one recent rumored boyfriend, what is Wang Meng, a basketball player!" Taylor's face suddenly turned a little red, and she looked at Wang Meng and said.
"I'll rub it." Wang Meng sneered and closed his mouth. "Just kidding."
Taylor looked at Wang Meng with a smile, "Is knowledge a joke?" ”
Wang Meng didn't know how to pick up the stubble, and the atmosphere in the car was a little frozen for a while.
"Okay, I won't tease you, I'm really a child who hasn't grown up." Taylor said with a smile.
"Sounds like you're a lot older than me." Wang Meng said unconvinced: "You are two or three years older than me at most." ”
"Two or three years older is also older, and if you are older than you, you have to call your sister." Taylor smiled slyly.
Wang Meng rolled his eyes, the girl would really borrow the slope to get off the donkey.
The two of them made a fuss along the way, and they didn't feel that much time had passed, but the destination of this trip had arrived.
"This is the Temple of Confucius." looked at Confucius Temple Taylor with some admiration, "But it seems to be a little small, it's only so big, why do so many people know about it?" ”
Wang Meng looked at Taylor, who was squatting in front of the Land Temple and talking to himself, crying and laughing. "Hey, that's not the Temple of Confucius, this is." As he spoke, he pointed to the imposing Confucian Temple in the distance and said.
"Are so many houses Confucian temples?" Taylor looked up at the house she had just ignored and sighed, "Isn't it a temple?" How can it be so big? ”
Jiading Confucius Temple was built in the 12th year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1219), and in more than 700 years, it was renovated, rebuilt and added more than 70 times. Now covers an area of 17 acres, the temple system part has: Dacheng Hall a 5 wings, there is a platform in front, 12 towers in the east and west, 3 towers and 5 towers in the Dacheng Gate, 1 tower in the east and west corner gates, 1 pond and 3 stone bridges, 3 stars in the gate; "Yanggao", "Xingxian", "Yucai" stone pillar archway 1 each, the stone fence connecting the archway more than 10 meters and the stone railing on the pillar head of the stone lion 72, the famous eunuch temple 3 towers, the land shrine 1 tower, the door 3 towers, the Xiangxian Temple 3 towers, the loyalty and filial piety words 1 tower. The school system part includes: Minglun Hall 5 and Qianxuan 3, and Limen 3.
Of course, these and Taylor's explanations seemed dispensable, thinking that she couldn't understand them at all, so Wang Meng didn't bother to tell her. "Is the camera ready? Here's the time to witness the miracle! ”
