Chapter 396 Master Jiang, you are a very interesting man(1/2)
Wednesday, May 8, 2024.
At nine o'clock in the morning, in a five-star hotel in the provincial capital of Hubei Province, Pei Ying and Princess Diana went straight to the Yellow Crane Tower after eating the hotel's buffet breakfast.
On the way, Pei Ying introduced to Princess Diana: "The Yellow Crane Tower we are about to arrive was built 1,800 years ago. It has the reputation of 'the most beautiful scenery in the world' since ancient times. It is the same as the Yueyang Tower in Hunan Province and the Yueyang Tower in Gan Province.
The Tengwang Pavilion is also known as the "Three Famous Towers in Jiangnan".
At the same time, it is one of the 'Four Famous Buildings in Ancient China' and one of the 'Top Ten Famous Historical and Cultural Buildings in China'. It is known as the 'No. 1 Building in the World' and is an attraction not to be missed."
Princess Diana was stunned when she heard this and exclaimed: "Oh my God, this building that was built 1,800 years ago can still survive to this day?"
Pei Ying explained with a smile: "The current Yellow Crane Tower is definitely not the original version. According to statistics, during the 1,800-year history of the Yellow Crane Tower, it has undergone a total of 27 reconstructions.
More conclusive historical data show that during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Yellow Crane Tower was destroyed by war and fire 7 times, and rebuilt and repaired 10 times. It is known in history as "Three times of fire, eight times of prosperity".
It has been repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt, and Wen Yizai Tower is the most important reason.
As the saying goes, "Articles can last through the ages." If a pavilion has poetry that has been passed down through the ages, even if it is destroyed thousands of times, it can still make a comeback.
This is just like our five-thousand-year-old Chinese civilization, which has been constantly changing dynasties during this period, but as long as there are no gaps in the civilization, no matter how many dynasties we go through, our Chinese civilization will always stand at the top of the East."
Princess Diana couldn't understand Chinese, so she was naturally confused and asked: "Ying, you know that I can't understand Chinese, why did you suddenly start speaking Chinese?"
Mei Yingying said with a smile: "It's a bit exaggerated to say that Old Friends fans can't leave the provincial capital. After all, many of the ingredients are in the same province. To say that Old Friends fans can't leave Guizhou is pretty much the same."
Pei Ying smiled and said: "Actually, not only foreigners, but even native Chinese, only a few people can understand these ancient poems."
Just when Pei Ying was introducing the famous stories of the Yellow Crane Tower to Princess Diana, Jiang Feng also came to the Yellow Crane Tower as promised. The two parties had agreed to meet here this morning last night.
Jiang Feng was also someone who could joke. He immediately responded with an exaggerated expression: "Oh my God, what did I miss? I want to ask if it's still too late to get a divorce?"
Therefore, I think it’s time for us to confirm our relationship, what do you think?”
Chen Yanren reached out and grabbed her little hand, and said affectionately: "Yingying, after all these days of getting along with me, don't you still know my feelings?"
Princess Diana did not deny it, but nodded and said: "There is indeed a reason for this. I am living a comfortable life now, but if I get married, I can't predict what will greet me. Anyway, I don't want to go
Take the risk."
After we were almost familiar with each other, Princess Diana took the initiative to talk about the business: "Master Jiang, to be honest, I had no intention of getting married. My father has allowed me to be single for so many years and has no intention of urging me to get married.
Princess Diana looked forward to it: "Ying, although I don't understand poetry, it does not prevent me from appreciating it. Can you read out this ancient poem and let me listen to it?"
So, he resisted the urge and said with a smile on his face: "Well, Yingying, let's eat the noodles first, otherwise it won't be so delicious after being left for a long time."
Anyway, the purpose is to make money, it doesn't matter where to open the store, why not accommodate her and open a store in the city instead.
However, recently, for some unknown reason, my father has gone out of his way and started to help me look for partners in other royal families."
Princess Diana smiled and said: "China is indeed recognized as the first of the three major food kingdoms. The food here is really diverse. Even if you eat it in a different way every day, it feels like you can eat the same thing for ten years. I don't know what the food is today."
What are you going to treat me to?"
Pei Ying looked at the time and interjected: "Master Jiang, Diana, it's getting late, we should go have lunch."
Compared with modern high-rise buildings, the Yellow Crane Tower is not very majestic.
After all, the market in the provincial capital is too mature, and the audience of Laoyou Noodles is huge. Any Laoyou Noodles shop will have customers. As long as the taste is not bad, business is guaranteed.
Chen Yanren was tasting a bowl of Old Friend Noodles that were full of color, flavor and flavor. The more he ate, the more excited he became. He said to Mei Yingying, who was sitting opposite him: "Yingying, your craftsmanship is really amazing. They say that Old Friend Noodles are only suitable for eating at home."
A provincial capital, if you change to another city, you will be acclimatized, but this is not entirely true, why don't you perfectly recreate the old friend's fan in our Yulin!"
While the two were talking, Yellow Crane Tower arrived.
Princess Diana nodded understandingly and said: "I understand. In fact, even if you translate it perfectly into English, I guess it would be like listening to a book from heaven. The ancient poetry of your country is really important to us foreigners.
It’s so difficult to understand.”
Pei Ying said: "Diana, I can only read you Chinese famous poems like this. Although my English is good, I am not at that level to translate famous ancient poems into English. Even if I translate it according to the text, it will still lose the meaning."
It has lost the original charm of ancient poetry. Do you understand what I say?"
However, because it is in an excellent location, there are no high-rise buildings blocking the view. When you climb up to the Yellow Crane Tower, you can look into the distance and have a panoramic view of the scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River.
Mei Yingying was a little confused. She naturally had a good impression of Chen Yanren. Without a good impression, she would not have followed him back to Yulin, or even went to his house to make fans.
Thinking of this, Mei Yingying looked up again and saw Chen Yanren looking at her with burning eyes, waiting for her answer. She pursed her lips and finally chose to nod.
However, Chen Yanren was right. Master Jiang personally brokered this marriage, and she knew how good Master Jiang was as a matchmaker.
…
"Mr. Pei."
According to "The Biography of Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty", when Li Bai saw this poem, he sighed: There is a scenery in front of him, so Cui Hao wrote a poem on it and wrote for it."
In short, as long as everything goes back to where it started, I can live a happy life."
Then, Pei Ying introduced both parties in English: "Diana, this is our country's famous master matchmaker. Master Jiang, this is Princess Diana."
Mei Yingying obviously didn't expect that he would suddenly confess her love, and she said with a slightly flustered look: "You can open a store wherever you like. What does it have to do with me?"
Qingchuan is full of Hanyang trees, fragrant grass and Parrot Island.
The yellow crane will never return, and the white clouds will remain empty for thousands of years.
Pei Ying and Jiang Feng looked at each other and smiled, and then the three of them rushed towards Laotong City. As for the three bodyguards who were hiding in the dark, they naturally followed.
At the same time, he also lost the qualification to compete for the crown prince.
However, the two have only known each other for a short time, and their understanding of each other is not deep enough. If they confirm their relationship so quickly, would they be too anxious?
"Master Jiang."
Pei Ying smiled and interjected: "Diana, I didn't say it before, but now that Master Jiang can help you find a partner, you can get married with peace of mind and ensure that you can live a happy life."
This is not a casual question. According to Jiang Feng's understanding of the Kingdom of Siam, a princess cannot retain her title after she gets married.
Jiang Feng hummed and said, "Okay, I understand. I will notify you as soon as I find a suitable candidate."
Princess Diana's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, let's set off quickly. I can't wait to taste how delicious these three fresh tofu skins are."
The most important thing is that two people should get along with each other and have a common language. He does not have to please me because of my identity, nor can he ignore my existence.
"Hello, Princess Diana, it's nice to meet you too." Jiang Feng's English can't be compared with that of Pei Ying, who has been studying abroad for several years and has been dealing with foreigners, but he is also a top student who graduated from the top universities in the country.
Normal conversation in English is no problem.
Mei Yingying lowered her head with a red face and spat: "Don't talk nonsense, this is your own store."
Princess Diana suddenly understood after hearing this, and said with great interest: "Ying, I know that your country's ancient poetry is very powerful. Since the Yellow Crane Tower can be passed down for eighteen hundred years, there must be many ancient poems describing it, right?
"
"Hello, Master Jiang, nice to meet you." Princess Diana was the first to say hello.
Chen Yanren said with a smile: "Of course it's none of your business. This store doesn't belong to me alone. I also have half of your shares."
Jiang Feng and Pei Ying greeted each other.
Seeing that he was obsessed with opening a Laoyou Noodles shop in Hui Youmeng, Mei Yingying couldn't help but remind him: "Brother Chen, there has never been a commendable Laoyou Noodles shop here in Yulin. Maybe it's not just because the taste can't be replicated. You
Opening a store here may not be as smooth as you imagined. It is better to just stay in the provincial capital and open a store.
Therefore, she did not refuse and directly read this classic poem in Chinese:
"In the past, people rode the Yellow Crane, and the Yellow Crane Tower was left vacant here.
Jiang Feng smiled confidently: "I will do my best. Princess Diana, do you have any requirements for your future husband? Such as nationality, family background, appearance, talent, etc."
As a top student, Pei Ying naturally had no trouble reciting poems. What's more, when she decided to take Princess Diana to the Yellow Crane Tower, she read the relevant information in advance.
Pei Ying smiled and said: "When you come to a city, of course you can't miss its special delicacies, so today I plan to invite you, Diana, to go to 'Laotong City' to eat three fresh bean curds. This is something that even the leader I admire the most appreciates.
Special delicacies, definitely not to be missed.”
Besides, we both know how powerful Master Jiang is, and the marriage he arranged personally is absolutely unmistakable. After getting along with each other these days, I have confirmed this even more.
Yulin City, Guangxi Province.
Princess Diana thought for a while and said: "There is no restriction on nationality. It is best to have a good family background. As for appearance, let's use Master Jiang as the standard. It's good to have talent, but don't force it if you don't have it."
Chen Yanren nodded, and then said with excitement: "Since the taste of Old Friends Noodles can be perfectly reproduced in Yulin, then my Old Friends Noodle Shop will be successful."
Jiang Feng said: "Princess Diana, I understand your thoughts. If you marry the right person, everyone will be happy, but if you marry the wrong person, the free and easy days now will be gone forever."
Princess Diana blinked at Jiang Feng and said with a smile: "Master Jiang, I leave everything to you. I hope you can help me find a suitable partner and make my married life even happier than now."
Pei Ying nodded and said: "There are indeed many poems describing the Yellow Crane Tower, and the most powerful one is undoubtedly "Yellow Crane Tower" written by Cui Hao, a famous poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Yanren looked at her shy look, his heart was slightly trembling, and he said: "I feel unhappy. Master Jiang can introduce you to me in a huge sea of people, which proves that there is a fate between you and me.
With a good start, Jiang Feng and Princess Diana quickly got along with each other, and Pei Ying had to admire Master Jiang's communication skills.
Chen Yanren also hesitated when he heard this. His original plan was to go back to Yulin to open a store, but he didn't expect that his blind date would be from the provincial capital. If he insisted on returning to Yulin to open a store, the two would become a long-distance relationship.
Okay, this is obviously not a wise choice.
Chen Yanren was so happy that he almost couldn't control his impulse and wanted to kiss her. Fortunately, he had also read a few books on seducing girls and knew that he should not rush at this time, but should do it naturally, otherwise he would easily scare the other person.
Jiang Feng asked: "Princess Diana, I'm going to take the liberty to ask, why don't you want to get married? Are you afraid of losing the title of princess?"
"Master Jiang, you are younger and more handsome than I thought. Unfortunately, I am much older than you, and I heard from Ying that you are already married, otherwise I would even want to pursue you." Princess Diana joked.
