Chapter 955: You Only See the Surface
Chen's mother said: "The situation has been much better recently, and our ambassador is talking to several countries, and it should be about to resume work." ”
After talking to his mother on the phone, Chen Wen took a shower, happily ran upstairs, and got into the quilt to hug his beloved Sister Tang, and it was another night of joy that was inconvenient to talk about.
......
Thursday, October 22.
The first lecture in the morning, "History of French Music", by Professor Josephine.
Tang Jin was tossed by Chen Wen a lot last night, and he couldn't get out of bed in the morning, muttering that he wanted to sleep lazy.
Chen Wen told her: "After class at 10 o'clock, I will come back and take you to the Louvre." ”
Going down to the first floor, Chen Wen met the Xie sisters in the kitchen, but did not see Masako Nakamura. Xie Tiantian told him that Masako had already gone to school.
Chen Wen ate the breakfast made by the sisters, and Xie Tiantian asked, "Where is Sister Tang?"
Chen Wen replied casually: "She doesn't want to go to the classroom and sleep lazy." ”
Xie Tiantian said: "Sister Tang is so beautiful. ”
Chen Wen said: "My three girlfriends are all beautiful, as beautiful as Sister Tang. ”
Xie Tingting interjected: "Does Sister Tang know that you have two other girlfriends?"
Chen Wen said: "I know. ”
The Xie sisters stopped talking, bowed their heads to finish breakfast, and went out to school.
After Chen Wen finished eating, he rode out on a mountain bike, and he overtook the Xie sisters on the way.
Coming to the classroom, as usual, Chen Wen sat in the seat between Masako Nakamura and Choi Hee-sun.
Masako Nakamura asked, "Why didn't Miss Tang come?"
Chen Wen said: "She was so tired last night that she couldn't get out of bed. ”
Masako covered her mouth with her hand and smiled, and Choi Hee-sun looked at Chen Wen with a mocking expression.
Seeing that they were smiling maliciously, Chen Wen took out his left and right hands together and pinched the thighs of the two girls twice.
The rhythm of class is still the same, Chen Wen takes notes, and two girls from Japan and South Korea copy notes.
After class, Professor Josephine called Chen Wen to her office.
Enter the door, close the door.
Professor Josephine smiled and said, "Elena called me. Chen, I congratulate you both, and I express my gratitude to you for helping Elena. ”
The professor is talking about Elena, of course, is her student, the great singer Elena Holley.
Chen Wen asked: "Elena told me that it was inconvenient for her to see me often, whether it was to go to the hotel or to her house, she refused all of them. ”
Professor Josephine said: "Elena is a public figure, and she is not allowed to have scandals, and even normal relationships are not tolerated by the agency and fans, which is the fundamental reason why she and her ex-boyfriend can't stand it."
Cause. ”
Chen Wen deliberately sold miserably: "Professor, I don't know if Yelena told you that she didn't allow me to go to her, she said that she would come to me at a convenient time." Alas, I felt like a valet at the French court under Louis XVI. ”
Professor Josephine was amused by Chen Wen: "Chen, I can be frank and say that Yelena's matter is unfair to you. But please be considerate of her, she is the representative of our French pop music, and she has to face some different treatment. Well, I'm willing to make it easier for both of you. ”
Chen Wen asked, "What convenience?"
Professor Josephine said, "You can come to my house for a tryst. ”
Chen Wen smiled: "This is really a good idea, students go to the former teacher's house as a guest, I'm afraid those reporters won't be able to take annoying photos." ”
Saying goodbye to Professor Josephine, Chen Wen was very happy in his heart, he admired this old lady professor more and more, and being a teacher to be such a state really refreshed Chen Wen's three views.
It is undeniable that Professor Josephine is a respectable teacher, who treats Elena Holly like her own child, and tries to send her other student, Chen Wen, to Yelena's bed in order to untie the knot.
Although it is used as a medicine to treat heart disease, Chen Wenting enjoys this feeling of being a medicine, which is really refreshing.
Cycle back to the shared house.
Tang Jin had already washed up and finished eating the breakfast left by the Xie sisters.
Tang Jin said: "Life in France is so comfortable, your study abroad life is so comfortable!"
Chen Wen said: "Sister Tang, I must correct one of your misunderstandings. ”
Tang Jin asked, "What was wrong with me?"
Chen Wen said: "The correct understanding should be that the life of money is really comfortable. You only see that my life is comfortable, but do you know what life is like for other international students?"
Tang Jin asked: "Your roommate lives the same life as you, lives in such a beautiful villa, and goes to study at the University of Versailles every day like you." ”
Chen Wen smiled: "You only see the surface. Let me tell you, Nguyen Thi Huong goes to work in a Vietnamese restaurant every afternoon after school and comes home at 10 o'clock at night. The Xie sisters work all day at the supermarket every Saturday and Sunday, and they usually study hard in order to get a full scholarship next year. and Jin Youzhen, whom you haven't seen, skips class and goes to work on the farm. ”
Chen Wen added: "Masako Nakamura doesn't have to work because she is a one-year student like me, and she has already earned enough living expenses and tuition fees before she comes to France. ”
Tang Jin showed a thoughtful expression.
Chen Wen goes on to talk about the dark side of international student life: "Before I went abroad, I met two classmates in the French class, and they also came to Paris to study at the First University and the Eleventh University. They're over there
International students, many of whom are living very miserably, are discriminated against at work, harassed on the way home from work, female students are touched, and resist but are slapped. ”
Tang Jin sighed lightly: "It's really not easy for international students. ”
Chen Wen gently touched Tang Jin's head like a mentor: "Xiao Tang's classmates and children are teachable, and there are many darker things I won't tell you for the time being, I'm afraid you will shed tears when you hear it." In short, you should remember that my situation is not representative, and I may be the only Chinese student like me in France this year, so don't think that other students can have the same conditions as me. ”
Tang Jin nodded obediently.
Chen Wen smiled: "Okay, after class, let's go to the Louvre!"
Driver Chen kicked his foot on the gas, and the sedan arrived in Little Paris.
After working hard for a long time to find a parking space, Chen Wen took Tang Jin's hand and came to the Louvre.
The two found the ticket center, and the opening hours of the exhibition hall and the introduction of tickets were sprinkled with two large boards.
At the beginning of Mr. Meng's French class, Chen Wen read similar things and did exercises, and found the content related to his itinerary today. The Louvre's pavilions are not all open every day, and the general principle is to open at staggered times, at staggered peaks, and in shifts.
The full-time ticket can only see the permanent exhibition, the temporary ticket can see the temporary exhibition, and the combined ticket can see both kinds of exhibitions. If you're coming to the Louvre on a certain day for a few individual pavilions, it's best to buy one of the first two tickets.
Chen Wen explained to Tang Jin: "If someone wants to learn oil painting on his own for a long time like the painter Manet, then it is more suitable for him to buy a full-time ticket and go to the painting gallery." ”
Chen Wen didn't miss this little money, and he didn't take Tang Jin to do special research, he bought two joint tickets at the top of the price list, and the two happily walked into the Louvre, where they could visit any exhibition hall.
The sculpture gallery that Chen Wen is most familiar with is closed today, and the paintings hall, the Oriental hall and several temporary small exhibition halls can be visited.
Of all the works in the gallery, the most outstanding and remarkable is naturally Leonardo da Vinci's monumental masterpiece Mona Lisa, completed in 1503.
Almost all visitors to the Louvre come to see this great work.
According to the description in the booklet, Chen Wen took Tang Jin's hand, and the two came to a hall in the middle of the second floor of the Louvre, and immediately saw the "Mona Lisa" in the most prominent position when they entered the door.
The paintings are embedded in the walls and are specially protected by glass covers. The soft light that shines around the glass cover is enough to allow visitors to see every detail of the picture.
Tang Jin exclaimed: "When I was a child, I read the description of this painting in a textbook, and I never imagined that I would finally see the real thing. ”
Chen Wen said: "Every Wednesday, the class is "Introduction to French Painting", and the first week's class is "Mona Lisa". ”
