Chapter 294: Ambiguous Sister and Brother
"How's that going to work?" Yan Juan shook his head resolutely, "Although I am very interested in Egyptian special 'color' things, I am not going to give up the pyramids and sphinxes for it. β
Yan Yixin shook his head: "I'm afraid I won't be able to go tomorrow." β
Yan Juan was anxious when he heard this, and if he didn't go to see the pyramids, wouldn't it mean that he didn't come to Egypt?
"You can go the day after tomorrow!"
Yan Wan was puzzled: "Then why can't you go tomorrow?" Is there time to make time for the pyramids to be repaired? β
"The Pyramid of Khufu is limited to the number of people and the time to enter the tower, and it will definitely not be the turn to go late."
"Shouldn't we go sooner? Didn't you say that the pyramids were near Cairo? β
"But you still have to get jet lag, why did you get up so early! Instead of rushing, it is better to go to the market tomorrow and wake up early the day after tomorrow to spend the day in Giza in peace. β
Giza is located eleven kilometers south of Cairo, and it is easy to get to the city.
"Oh." Yan Juan was a little disappointed, "The market... Actually, there is nothing to visit, so why not go to the Egyptian Museum? I heard that the British also looted a lot of antiques and artifacts from Egypt, but I don't know how many are left. β
"Don't worry, it's enough to make you *** blessed. The Eight-Nation Coalition has robbed us of so many things in China, but the collections of the Palace Museum and the National Museum are still very large. β
"That... Tomorrow it will be up to us, if we get up early, we will go to see the pyramids, and if we get up late, we will go to the museum. Yan Juan hid a yawn, "Go to bed early!" β
"It's still early!" Yan Yixin smiled and shook his head.
I slept very deeply, and I didn't wake up until three days of the morning.
Yan Yixin was looking at something in front of the window, and the sunlight spilled in from the sparse 'flower' bushes and fell on his side face, leaving a beautiful silhouette. His side face is more three-dimensional, and the golden 'color' light and shadow on the tips of the eyelashes and hairs show a low-key gorgeousness.
"It seems... I can't go to the pyramid today..." Yan Wan sighed.
"Not only will you not be able to go to the pyramids, but I'm afraid the museum is also a little too late." Yan Yixin heard her muttering, turned his head, and let out a gentle smile.
"Why? It doesn't matter, I don't think the Egyptian Museum can be seen in a day anyway. Yan Xuan's arm stretched out from the quilt and stretched comfortably, "Yixin, when did you get up?" β
Seeing that he is refreshed, at least he has been up for a long time, right?
"I didn't wake up early."
That's weird!
Yan Juan grimaced and reproachedly blamed: "Why didn't you wake me up?" I woke up so early, I knew I wanted to go to the pyramids, and I knew that at least I had to go to the museum. β
"Pharaoh Tutanka 'Mon' is very popular, especially the golden mask."
"Ah, I want to see the old Golden Mask!" Yan Juan cheered. Then he quietly asked, "Isn't that showroom open all day?" β
"That's not it." Yan Yixin smiled, "It's just that it's always crowded with tourists, because everyone wants to see the dazzling brilliance of the golden mask." We go a little earlier to savor it. β
"Oh." Yan Juan nodded in disappointment, "That... It's a good idea to check out the other exhibits, such as the gemstones and jewels of the pharaohs and princesses. β
"The Egyptian Museum is an archaeological theme, and jewelry is not a major part of the collection, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. Moreover, it is mainly in the three-room exhibition hall, where there are many tourists. β
"So where are we going now?" Yan Wan lazily retracted his body back into the quilt, "Could it be that the day we came to Egypt, we used the 'door' to reverse jet lag?" β
"Who made you so excited yesterday, and ended up sleeping like a dead pig this morning." Yan Yixin walked to the 'bed' and put one hand under her neck.
Yan Wan hooked his neck with both hands, pouted and complained: "It's good if you wake me up, I can catch up on sleep in the car." β
Yan Yixin patted her cheek dotingly: "Fool, we came out for a vacation, no matter what it was for, the act of letting ourselves seriously lack sleep was against the original intention." β
"But..." Yan Juan still wants to object, but Yan Yixin's 'lips' have already blocked her.
The noon air, with a dry smell, Yan Juan felt that her skin was also full of hunger and thirst.
"Oh, I didn't brush my teeth!" Yan Juan said with annoyance after the hot 'kiss'.
Yan Yixin laughed loudly: "You really will spoil the scenery!" It's okay, I won't dislike you. β
Yan Wan blushed and jumped up to wash.
"If you're interested, I have a good offer." During dinner, Yan Yixin smiled and "groaned", "Cairo is one of the cultural centers of the Arab world, and there are more than 1,000 mosques in Cairo alone, so Cairo has the reputation of the city of towers. β
"More than a thousand!" Yan Juan secretly said, "I'm not an Islamist, why don't you go and see the most typical one?" β
"How about a mosque in the history of Islam?" Yan Yixin threw out a 'decoy' bait, "Oh, of course, one!" Yan Xuan's eyes immediately lit up with excitement, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go. β
Yan Juan swallowed his breakfastβno, lunchβand anxiously pulled Yan Yixin to leave.
As a result, on this day, I not only saw the minaret, but also the famous Ahmad Mosque, and then Yan Juan wanted to see it again, Yan Yixin stopped her with tears and laughter: "There is no need for anything else, we don't study architecture, and it's not Islamic." Now it's almost time to visit the market, maybe a little bit of gadgets that interest you. β
Yan Juan was not very interested: "I remember that I learned geography that Egypt is relatively rich in non-metallic mineral deposits. β
"Yes, Egypt has limited reserves of metal ores, and most of them are associated mines, and there are gold and titanium ores in the eastern desert." Yan Yixin paused for a while, and after satisfying Yan Xuan's appetite, he said with a smile, "However, don't forget, Cairo is the largest city in Africa, and precious and semi-precious stones from all over the world will also come one after another, forming a fairly large market. β
"Really?" Yan Juan immediately jumped up, and the way he shrugged his head just now, he was like two people, "Then let's go and have a look, maybe we can really find something good!" β
The dazzling array of goods made Yan Wan dizzy. In fact, the reason why she rejected Yan Yixin's proposal to visit the market at the beginning was just because she couldn't go to the pyramids and museums.
At the western end of the Hallili Market, there are several gold and silver jewelry shops.
"These pieces of jewelry are very 'exquisite', but they seem to be a bit similar in terms of style." Yan Juan patiently visited a few houses.
"Yes, these styles are mainly based on various amulets of ancient Egypt. This inlaid pharaoh's oval ornament is not only sought after by tourists, but also quite popular among local Egyptians. β
Yan Juan bought a turquoise-inlaid ornament and stuck out his tongue: "It seems that it can only be used as a souvenir, who can really wear it as a collar on the 'chest'!" β
Holding hands, they walked from the west end to the east. Snow 'flower' plaster, flooding, hanging lamps, 'medicine' herbs... To name a few, Yan Juan maintained considerable interest.
"Let's go, let's buy a little fragrant 'essence' and go back to Lu Xiang and give it to them, the 'women' like it very much."
"Lu Xiang?" Yan Wan sneered, "Forget it, that guy is more raunchy than me, and he sprinkles perfume as if he was being tortured." β
^Odd ^ Perfume and Spice Shop, indeed full of customers, seems to be one of the most popular commodities in Egypt.
^Book^ "I guess they are all tourists, you see different skin tones. Yan Juan thinks that looking at tourists is also quite interesting.
"There are also yellow people here, I don't know if it's from China." Yan Yixin was sharp-eyed, and soon saw Asians in the endless flow of people.
"Lin Ze!" Yan Juan watched it for a long time before he was sure that he was actually an acquaintance!
Meeting people in a foreign country is simply one of the great joys of life.
Although they usually don't have much contact with each other except for black diamonds. But the encounter in Egypt still made Yan Juan excited. So I didn't have time to think about it, so I went straight to the past.
"Lin Ze!" The Chinese language was too penetrating, and Lin immediately looked around.
"Here it is!" Yan Juan smiled and rushed over and slammed it into his shoulder.
"Ouch!" Yan Juan withdrew his overexerted fist under the excitement, "You won't wear steel plate clothes, why are you so hard!" β
Lin Ze also looked incredulous: "Why are you here?" Are you going to change careers and march into perfume? β
Yan Juan was puzzled when he heard it: "What perfume industry?" β
Yan Yixin understood, and asked unexpectedly: "You run a restaurant and black diamond, and now you start making perfume again?" β
"It's not me, it's Jenny who likes perfume, and she makes cosmetics, and wants to buy a little fragrance 'essence' and add it to her cosmetics." Lin Ze helplessly pointed to the French beauty 'girl' who was ignored by Yan Wan beside him.
Oh, there's one more!
Yan Juan apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, Miss Jenny, I was too excited to see Lin Ze just now." β
Jenny blinked: "It turned out to be Lin Ze's Chinese friend." β
Yan Juan was stunned for a moment, this sentence itself had no special meaning, but the tone was a little disapproving. She quickly overlooked this, though. After all, seeing a fellow native speaker, and an acquaintance, still made her too excited.
Therefore, pulling Lin Ze to tell what they saw and heard in Egypt, if Yan Yixin hadn't pinched her fingers, maybe she would have continued to talk endlessly.
"We're staying in the hotel across the street, so you have time to come and sit." Yan Yixin took the initiative to say goodbye to Lin Ze.
"I really didn't expect that Lin Ze would also go to Egypt." Yan Juan finished sighing, and questioned his behavior, "Why did you have to part ways with them so soon?" Anyway, they're shopping, and we're too! And, why do you come to this market when you buy spices in large quantities? β
"Don't you see that Jenny can't wait for us to disappear quickly and not disturb their two-person world?"
Yan Xuan's eyes widened in surprise: "But, they are sisters and brothers!" β
"And there is no blood relationship."
"Uh... Isn't that ***? Yan Juan asked hesitantly, "Although there is no blood relationship, but nominally, it is still the relationship between my sister and my younger brother." Moreover, I don't think Lin Ze has that kind of affection for Jenny that is beyond his sister, I feel that he seems to..."
She paused, not knowing how to continue.
"Jenny just has this meaning, Lin just wants to win over Jenny."
Yan Juan felt as if she had suddenly swallowed a worm: "Is it because of the inheritance?" β
"Yes. Although Jenny is not his father's biological 'daughter', her mother is the current wife, and she may have a certain say in the distribution of the inheritance. Lin is not French after all, and he is only at a disadvantage among the other brothers of the same father. He is in dire need of support from his family, I think that's why. β
"In order to get an inheritance, can you deceive other people's feelings?" Yan Juan shook his head disapprovingly.
"There is no room for others to beak in this matter." Yan Yixin shook his head, "However, I don't think Lin Ze is the kind of person who is bent on money, with his vision of that mine, it is not difficult to make a fortune." β
"You mean... Did he want this inheritance for another reason? β
"You get along a lot with Liu Li and Lin Ze, what kind of person do you think he is?"
Yan Wan cupped her cheeks and thought for a while before saying, "It seems that I don't care so much about money, sometimes it's a bit nonsense, and I don't necessarily care about common sense when doing things." β
"Between him and Jenny, whether there is love or not is another story." Yan Yixin shook his head with a smile, "It's certain that he wants the inheritance, but I always feel that there is something else in this." β
"It would be nice if Lin really liked that Jenny, but Jenny is older than him!" Yan Juan doesn't have so many 'flowers' and 'flowers' intestines, and her mind is still on the relationship between her sister and brother.
Yan Yixin smiled dumbly: "Why are you doing everything you can to get around this matter!" β
"Because 'female' people are born with the potential to gossip... Although I hope that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become married, then the two of them must be lovers..." Yan Wan muttered.
In the next few days, Yan Yixin made sufficient arrangements. The Pyramids of Giza, the Egyptian Museum, the Memphis Tombs... Just in Cairo and the surrounding area, it 'spent' five days.
"Are we going to the Valley of the Kings tomorrow?" Yan Juan is reluctant to give up on Cairo.
"Yes." Yan Yixin nodded.
At this time, the mobile phone rang again.
"It's Liu Li." Yan Yixin frowned.
"Nothing will happen, will it?" Yan Juan was worried.
"Maybe it's a routine greeting." Yan Yixin smiled, but he still connected the phone and turned on the speaker, "Hey? Liu Li? β
"It's me." The majestic voice on the other end of the phone belonged to Old Man Yan.
Yan Juan's face changed, and it may not be a trivial matter to make the old man put down his shelf and make a call. She tilted her head to one side, pretending to look at the Mosky glassware displayed in the window.
"Grandpa?" Obviously, Yan Yixin was also very surprised, and the speaker was turned off.
The relaxed smile on his face disappeared, and he suddenly raised his voice: "How is it possible! β
Yan Juan was taken aback, but saw that Yan Yixin had already hung up the phone. The expression on his face was a little solemn, and the word "Chuan" was deeply wrinkled on his forehead.
"What's wrong?" Yan Juan hurriedly held his hand.
