Snowflakes were falling in ancient times, and winter has also entered in modern times.
However, Haicheng is located in the south and faces the sea to the east, so although the weather has cooled down, it is still far from snowing.
In other words, people in Haicheng haven't seen snow for a long time.
However, compared with the sparse pedestrians on the streets in winter in ancient times, the streets of Haicheng were full of cars and noisy.
It was getting dark, and the entire city was lit up with ubiquitous neon lights, lighting up dozens of miles around like daylight.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan arrived at the entrance of Haicheng Grand Theater, each holding a cup of milk tea, and were queuing to check in.
"I thought these two tickets were invalid, but I didn't expect they could still be used." Lin Wan said with a smile.
Lu Zheng looked at the tickets in his hand.
Italian opera, "La Traviata".
"The tickets were given by Xiaoying." Lin Wan said, "It would be wasted if I don't come, and I won't have anyone to give them to me."
Lu Zheng curled his lips, "Is this opera in Chinese or Italian?"
Lin Wan pointed at the poster. Lu Zheng looked along and saw the Italian St. Violet Art Performance Team.
All right……
Lu Zheng said speechlessly, "Then we don't understand anything..."
"Let's read the plot introduction. Do you think everyone here can understand it?" Lin Wan whispered.
Lu Zheng looked around and saw that the audience queuing up to enter was half foreigners and half Chinese. Everyone was well-dressed and well-looking.
However, he and Lin Wan were not bad either. They exercised and washed themselves a bit, and now they were both majestic and outstanding.
"By the way, am I too lazy?" Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, looked at the words on the poster, and said to himself.
"What's wrong?" Lin Wan asked.
"Should I learn a foreign language?" Lu Zheng said, "If I learn a foreign language, I won't have to worry about traveling abroad in the future."
Lin Wan smiled and said, "You seem to be able to master it as soon as you learn it."
Lu Zheng nodded seriously, "It does take some effort to get started."
When he went to Southeast Asia on May Day last year and to Europe on November 1st last year, his luck was not yet abundant, so he did not learn a foreign language.
Later, when he had enough luck, he was too lazy to learn foreign languages.
After all, compared to musical instruments, painting, chess, etc., the entry rules are relatively simple, and the follow-up is a matter of proficiency and artistic conception, which can be instantly improved with the light of luck.
For things like foreign languages, it is purely a matter of memory and vocabulary.
Lu Zheng rarely goes abroad, and he has no interest in communicating with foreigners. Why should he learn a foreign language if he just spends his time focusing on flowers?
But I have nothing to do recently. Maybe I can learn a foreign language to pass the time?
After all, the Jade Seal is there, and his true spirit is getting stronger and stronger. Not only does he have a calm mind, but he also has a strong memory. Learning foreign languages must not be as difficult as before.
Besides, many Japanese collector’s edition comics and movies do not have Chinese versions.
"It's decided! Learn a foreign language!" Lu Zheng took a deep sip of the milk tea.
Check in, check in, find a seat.
As soon as he sat down, someone from behind came over.
"Mr. Lu, Miss Lin."
"Huh? Mr. Sanders?" Lu Zheng said in surprise.
The visitor was Sanders, the owner of the Italian restaurant called Kasamuva.
By the way, Lu Zheng and Lin Wan haven't been to that Italian restaurant for a long time.
Well, it should be said that I haven't been there since the last drinking party poisoning case.
Unexpectedly, after more than a year, we would meet again at the Grand Theater.
Well, think about it. Sanders is an Italian. Now he is doing business in China and making a lot of money. Since there is a performance team from his hometown coming to China to perform, it is normal for him to come to support them.
It was a bit of a coincidence that he just happened to bump into Lu Zheng.
"Long time no see." Sanders smiled.
"Long time no see, Mr. Sanders!" Lu Zheng smiled and shook hands with him.
"I didn't expect that you two are also interested in "La Traviata"." Sanders said, and then asked with some confusion, "But with all due respect, do you two understand?"
"To be honest, this is a ticket given to us by a friend. Although we don't understand it, we can feel the plot and atmosphere."
"That's true. Even though I can't understand the language, you can feel the emotion in the song. I believe that the actors of Holy Violet have this singing ability." Sanders said.
At this point, Sanders motioned to a middle-aged Chinese woman next to him, "By the way, this is my wife, Zhao Xin."
"Hello, Ms. Zhao." Lu Zheng and Lin Wan greeted each other. At the same time, they also knew why Sanders opened a restaurant in China.
"Hello." Zhao Xin nodded and said hello.
The opera hasn't started yet, and the theater is full of voices talking in twos and threes.
Although he knew that Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were just joining in the fun, "La Traviata" was a famous song in Italy after all. Sanders took advantage of this moment to educate the two about the plot and the famous actors in the Saint Violet team.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan were just planning to kill time and find a place to enjoy their world, but since someone was the guide, they didn't mind learning more about it.
…
When the opera started, the scene immediately fell silent, and Sanders also retreated to enjoy the opera quietly with his wife.
Lu Zheng and Lin Wan also held hands and enjoyed this Western opera performance together.
The gorgeous stage and props, as well as excellent performances and singing skills, have indeed elevated the quality of this opera and are worth the price of admission.
It's a pity that Lu Zheng and the two couldn't understand the dialogue and lyrics, and their enjoyment was greatly reduced.
but……
"The choice of the protagonist is pretty good, and it's quite engaging." Lu Zheng commented.
Lin Wan took a glance and saw that the undulating mountains were indeed rare in the world.
"It's a pity that she is average-looking and has very bad skin. She only relies on heavy makeup to support her." Lin Wan also commented.
Her cultivation level is not weak, and she can see the heroine clearly by using her power to her eyes.
"Ah, yes, yes!" Lu Zheng nodded repeatedly.
…
By the time the opera ended, it was nearly eleven o'clock in the evening.
In the passage after the event, Sanders pulled his wife and Lu Zheng to walk side by side.
A few people chatted casually, and Sanders talked about the poisoning case at a drinking party last year.
Sanders, of course, thought of Tony, "By the way, Tony also said he would invite you at that time. Later I heard that he had returned to China and we had no contact with you again. Did he contact you later?"
"No." Lu Zheng shook his head seriously, "He already treated us to dinner that night."
Lin Wan also smiled and said, "He is obviously a big shot, why should we bother him?"
"What a big shot, you saved his life." Sanders said, "I will talk to him nicely next time he comes to the restaurant."
Lu Zheng blinked but didn't stop him.
After all, Tony will definitely not be able to go to Sanders' restaurant.
