Su Shi smiled and said: "Brother Chang speaks Chinese fluently, I must have put in a lot of hard work."
Chang Muhua studied in Daqian for twelve years and got to know the people and sophistication of Daqian, so he said modestly: "When I came to Daqian when I was eighteen years old, I was fascinated by the culture of Daqian, so I studied Chinese hard and Traveling around to study, Shi only has a superficial understanding of it after twelve years of study."
Su Shi said: "Brother Chang is so humble." Then he looked at the tall European and asked: "Then who is..."
Chang Muhua immediately turned sideways and chatted with the man for a few words. The man immediately greeted Su Shi respectfully.
It's just that he didn't speak Chinese, so after he finished speaking, Chang Muhua translated on the side: "His name is Howard, he is from England. I am very happy to meet you."
Although Su Shi could understand it without Chang Muhua's translation, Su Shi had to pretend not to understand, otherwise it would be too shocking.
Composing poems and writing lyrics can also be explained by being talented and intelligent, but suddenly knowing a foreign language, how do you ask Su Shi to explain it to everyone.
I'm afraid that no matter how Su Shi explains it, everyone will regard him as a monster.
What's more, Su Shi's performance in the past few days has made everyone feel incredible and amazed. If one or two more magical things happen to him, I'm afraid everyone will look at him with strange eyes, and even out of thin air. A lot more trouble.
Although Su Shi didn't care about the strange look, the trouble that appeared out of thin air was not what he wanted to see.
"English?" Su Shigu looked thoughtful.
Chang Muhua smiled and said: "It's normal that Mr. Su has never heard of it. It is a very far away country. Although the country is not as big as Dagan, it is still an ancient country."
Su Shi said casually: "Then Mr. Howard must have gone through many difficulties and dangers before he came to Daqian, right?"
Chang Muhua couldn't help but look at Su Shi in surprise, because Su Shi's name for Howard was really strange.
When Dagan people hear his introduction, they all think that Howard is also a Chinese name, so they will call Howard Brother Huo, Brother Huo, Brother Huo, etc.
When he introduced him to Su Zhou just now, Su Zhou also made such a joke.
However, Su Shi naturally said Mr. Howard, as if knowing that Howard was just his last name.
Moreover, the honorific title "Mr." is generally used on highly respected people, but it is really nondescript when used on Howard.
But Su Shi spoke so naturally and fluently that it was strange.
Chang Muhua looked at the young man in front of him, whose face still looked a little immature, and felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
When Su Shi saw Chang Muhua's surprised expression, he immediately woke up and knew that he had said the wrong thing because of his habits in his previous life.
Europeans are rare in Daqian, but the people of Daqian have a strong national power and a prosperous culture, and they consider themselves the center of the world.
As for those foreign countries, in the eyes of the Daqian people, they are just barbaric lands, and there is no way to talk about cultural etiquette. They even think that those people are just barbarians, and naturally they do not care about their surnames.
However, Chang Muhua became so alert from Su Shi's words, which was so different from his rough appearance and casual behavior that Su Shi couldn't help but feel a little vigilant.
So Su Shi deliberately looked at Chang Muhua and said with a smile, "Did I say something wrong that made Brother Chang look at me like this?"
Chang Muhua laughed and said: "Master Su is knowledgeable and worthy of being the leader of poetry. I admire him very much."
Su Shi smiled and said, "I don't have to leave home, so how can I be so knowledgeable? Brother Chang is really impressed."
Chang Muhua's laughter attracted the attention of other people, and they gathered around to find out.
Qin Zhidao came to Chang Muhua and said with a smile: "What did Brother Muhua and my nephew talk about that made them so happy?"
Chang Muhua sighed: "When I first saw Mr. Su Shi, I saw that he was so young, and I still had some doubts in my heart. However, I just had a conversation with Mr. Su. Although Mr. Su is young, he is well-informed and knowledgeable. , He is really a young hero with a bright future.”
When Kong Wenshun and Qin Fang heard what Chang Muhua said, they couldn't help but stare at him in shock, because they were standing next to Su Shi just now, and Su Shi and Chang Muhua only exchanged a few daily greetings. Since Su Shi didn't show his talent or knowledge, how could he be knowledgeable and well-informed?
Qin Fang couldn't help but look at Chang Muhua with a hint of contempt, apparently thinking that he knew Su Shi's identity and was just trying to flatter him.
Qin Zhidao didn't know what was going on, thinking that Chang Muhua was really attracted by Su Shi's talent.
As an old friend of Chang Muhua, he naturally knew that Chang Muhua's knowledge was very high. Even in Daqian, he was ranked among the top ten. Seeing him admire Su Shi so highly - and Su Shi was his future son-in-law - - He naturally felt that his face was shining, and he couldn't help stroking his beard and said: "Su Shi is still young. Brother Mu Hua should encourage the younger generations. Don't exaggerate, so as not to increase the children's arrogance."
Then he said to Su Shi: "Brother Mu Hua is a good friend of mine. Although he is not a great person, he is knowledgeable and not inferior to famous people. You should ask for advice."
At this point, he smiled at Chang Muhua and said: "In terms of extensive knowledge, I'm afraid none of the people here are as good as you, Muhua. Three years ago, you said you wanted to compile a textual research on the geography and customs of Daqian, and you were determined to travel all over the country. I have traveled all over the country. I must have traveled to many places in the past three years, and my knowledge has naturally increased a lot."
Speaking of this matter, Chang Muhua sighed, then shook his head and said: "The land of Daqian is rich in resources. I am afraid that the places I have traveled in the past three years are less than 1/200. I am afraid that the research on the geography and customs of Daqian may not be possible in my lifetime." Affordable to compile.”
At this time, Su Shi suddenly said: "I heard that Brother Chang is from Persia?"
Chang Muhua nodded.
Su Shi smiled and said: "I am extremely curious about Persia, but I only know that it is rich in gold, silver and jewelry, and I don't know anything about the rest. I feel ashamed. It is inevitable that I will disturb Brother Chang in the future and ask Brother Chang for advice on the customs and customs of Persia."
Chang Muhua couldn't help but sighed: "In terms of national prosperity and brilliance of culture, Persia cannot compare with the country above. With its customs and customs, if Mr. Su is interested, you can come to me at any time and I will accompany you."
Su Shi seemed to be overjoyed and said hurriedly: "Then there is Brother Laochang."
Chang Muhua smiled and said, "I don't dare."
At this time, the side hall seemed to be in a happy mood, and the host and guests were enjoying themselves.
However, Su Zhou noticed that Su Shi seemed to be very interested in Chang Muhua and would look at him intentionally or unintentionally. Chang Muhua also seemed to find Su Shi interesting and would look at Su Shi from time to time.
What makes Su Zhou even more strange is that when the two people's eyes meet, the two people seem to change their faces, smile on their faces, and then nod to each other.
