Chapter 9 Chinese and Western Cultural Exchange Meeting

It's just that in Wang Zicheng's ears, this sentence has a bit of a pun flavor.

"That's right, Minmin! When you come back this time, Master brought you a gift, and this time on your birthday, Master is not by your side, so you are not angry, right? Ah Quan hurriedly took something out of his backpack as if he remembered something.

Birthday? Wang Zicheng is like being struck by lightning, when is her birthday?

If you know her birthday, you must have prepared a gift.

So he looked at Su Min with some puzzlement, and thought about it, as if on the day of the Lunar New Year, she said that she wanted to eat cake, could it be her birthday?

Su Min heard Ah Quan say his birthday, and then realized that he had forgotten about this matter completely, "Oh, Master, if you don't say it, I forgot it." ”

The reason why she forgot was naturally because she was accompanied by her sweetheart.

Ah Quan smiled and handed her the gift and said, "How can I do it, I forgot it before, but this year is different!" This year is Min Min's eighteenth birthday. ”

Also eighteen years old, she had no coming-of-age ceremony, no clusters of flowers, no blessings of cakes, and even she had forgotten about herself.

But she didn't think it was too difficult, when she was at home, her mother would just cook a bowl of noodles for her in the morning.

Wang Zicheng felt a faint pain in his heart, and he looked at Su Min for a while and didn't know what to say.

Su Min was choked by Ah Quan's words, Wen Jing also took out a gift from her bag and handed it to Su Min and said, "Minmin, this is the teacher's heart, I wish you a happy birthday, and I also wish Minmin more and more beautiful as she grows up!" ”

"Thank you, teacher!" Su Min responded to Wen Jing obediently, with a smile on her face.

"Look at how well-behaved this kid is!" Wen Jing looked at Su Min and smiled, but her eyes were aimed at Ah Quan.

Ah Quan raised his eyebrows and said in a somewhat strange tone, "Of course, I don't see whose apprentice it is." ”

Su Min couldn't help but glance at Wang Zicheng, who was also meaningful in his eyes, and his intuition told them that there was something wrong with these two people.

And Su Min's birthday, such a secret thing even Prince Chengdu didn't know, how could Wen Jing know, it must be because someone told her.

"Oh, yes, Minmin! Teacher Su and I rented a space outside for everyone to rehearse. Later, you and Wang Zicheng will go with you and rehearse the formation. Wen Jing then remembered this incident.

"Hmm......" Su Min nodded sensibly, looking at Wang Zicheng with some reluctance in his heart.

Because of this, it means that the two of them have less and less time to be alone.

Wang Zicheng laughed, as if to tell her that it didn't matter.

There was only one day for them to rehearse, and it seemed a little tight. But Wen Jing said that there was no problem, because everyone else had arranged it, and the two of them just had to take their places in the team.

Early the day after tomorrow, Xiao Yilin sent a car to pick them up.

A group of people wore all kinds of Hanfu and went to Columbia University.

On this day, the sun is warm, the blue sky is full of white clouds, and there is no breeze coming.

At this time, New York is still a little cold, but under the sunshine, people's hearts are warm.

Because Columbia University's main campus is small, there is no auditorium, so the exchange will be housed in front of the Columbia Library.

Several rows of chairs were placed in front of the stage, presumably to facilitate the guests invited by Xiao Yilin.

On the right side of the guest seat, several tents were set up, and there were several tables and chairs in the tents, and the four treasures of the study room were placed on the table, or oil painting materials.

On the left side is the exhibition, which displays a number of cultural relics from China, as well as some cultural relics from Europe and America, most of which are jewelry.

Because the performance has not yet begun, the exhibition area is surrounded by many people, and people are amazed by the exquisiteness of Chinese artworks.

There are relatively few onlookers of calligraphy and painting, perhaps because of the aesthetic differences between China and the West, so few of them can appreciate the artistic conception of Chinese painting and the beauty of calligraphy.

However, the Chinese can appreciate their oil paintings, whether they are realists or impressionists, which may be the reason why Chinese civilization can tolerate and absorb other civilizations.

It's just that Su Min and they don't have time to visit, because they have other things to do, and she can't help but feel a little regretful in her heart.

This time, Wen Jing did not arrange other programs for Su Min alone, and this sudden illness delayed the trip, not to mention the rehearsal time.

So I had to arrange a simple poetry reading for them, although all the people who went to the United States together this time took the stage.

When Su Min and the others were still putting on makeup, the guest seats were already full of people, most of whom were foreign faces.

Xiao Yilin and Xiao Jinghan received the guests on the side, they didn't expect that there would be so many people this time, so some of them could only stand.

For a while, the entire venue was full of people, and most of them were just curious. But Xiao Yilin has an optimistic attitude, because if you are curious, you will have the idea of understanding.

When the hand pointed to nine o'clock, a host on the stage introduced the relevant information of this exchange meeting in English.

At this time, Su Min changed into a velvet curly coat, with an off-white background, embroidered with golden flowers, and purple woven flowers on the edge of her clothes, making her whole person look beautiful and elegant.

She has long hair, a simple bun, and peach blossom makeup on her face, but she is not dignified.

Wang Zicheng is still wearing a black round neck, but he has a long sword in his hand, and he has a sense of handsomeness and ease.

His slender figure did not stand out among a crowd of tall foreigners.

But he is dressed in Hanfu, coupled with handsome facial features, and the whole person gives people a different sense of oriental youth, so it has attracted many people to take pictures.

He stood in the sun, leaning on his sword, his brow furrowed slightly, waiting for their show.

Looking at him from Su Min's point of view, he felt that the sun seemed to favor him very much, and it plated him with a layer of golden trim, making him feel like a god descending from heaven, which made Su Min slightly dizzy.

Wang Zicheng seemed to feel Su Min's gaze, so he turned his head to look at her.

It's just that Su Min seems to be a nymphomaniac again, and Wang Zicheng has no choice but to shake his head helplessly, with a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

He changed to a hand-held sword and gently held Su Min's hand in his hand.

Su Min came back to his senses at this time, his cheeks were slightly hot, and he hurriedly lowered his head to cover his shyness.

"Tired?" Wang Zicheng said softly, he was afraid that Su Min would stand for too long.

Su Min shook his head and said, "Don't be tired...... The voice was small, hiding his cowardice.

After that, the two of them didn't speak, and they stood silently under the stage.

Su Min doesn't remember how the show started, she only remembers that there are not many types of performances on stage, whether it is Chinese or Western, most of the shows are singing and dancing and musical instrument performances.

Perhaps because of the rarity, the students of Huaxia Academy of Arts wore Hanfu to perform musical instruments, sing and dance, which attracted a lot of people to take pictures, and people cheered from time to time at the wonderful places.

It's just that she didn't know why, Wen Jing hurriedly ran to Su Min and said something in her ear.
