Between airplanes and yachts, Master Shen chose the faster airplane.

First stop: Paris, France.

Although Gu Nanyan had a pilot's license, he still sought out a driver's license to accompany Shen Bei'an.

The private jet flew directly to Gu Nanyan's private estate in Paris.

"There aren't any natural hot springs here, but we've built an artificial one, and there's a small vegetable and fruit garden in the back. If you're interested, we can go and have a look."

The private jet hasn't been flying for very long. Shen Beian used to have a small estate abroad, but it was definitely not this big.

"Okay, okay! But it's summer vacation now, and fruits won't ripen until autumn, right?" Shen Bei'an suddenly thought of something and became a little unhappy.

“There are summer fruits and vegetables too,” Gu Nanyan instructed the housekeeper. “I’ve had the housekeeper arrange everything. Would An’an like to change her clothes first?”

When they arrived here, Gu Nanyan and Shen Beian didn't pack much luggage; they simply gave instructions to the housekeeper.

Upon entering the villa.

Very good, it's that familiar taste from the First World again.

And the butler's attire.

When he first arrived, lying on the wooden bed, in the rustic dormitory, with its slightly refined way of speaking and ancient costumes, Shen Beian thought he had traveled back to ancient times.

But then they discovered that the technologies, as well as the familiar names of Western powers and high-ranking officials from various countries, seemed somewhat different.

I glanced at the dates again. The empire's dates are divided into two: one is based on the birth of Jesus, just like in the West, and the other is based on the lunar calendar, starting from the time of the Yellow Emperor.

Many things are the same, but even more are different.

The technology here is more advanced, and the empire is quite different from the country he lived in in the First World.

The entire capital city is a combination of high-rise buildings, courtyard houses, and some ancient-style, no, traditional architecture.

As for those World Heritage sites or intangible cultural heritage sites in the First World.

The empire has the absolute ability and strength to command the world's respect. There is no question of it being stolen by other countries, nor does it need the recognition of other countries.

Because that originally belonged to the empire!

Unlike in the First World where Hanfu was worn by only a small number of people, here it is everyday clothing.

Of course, it has also been improved as times have progressed.

"Okay, let's go change our clothes first. We'll be going to the orchard in a bit."

Shen Bei'an was by nature a lazy bum, capable of both yielding and standing firm.

Why not go and do something fun?

Shen Beian had a very enjoyable time during his ten-plus days in Europe.

Although English is widely spoken in Europe, there are also places where people speak their own native languages.

At this moment, Shen Beian thought that the smart translator he had brought would come in handy.

result!

Her daughter-in-law actually knows how!

"Ah Yan, how come you seem to know a few words of these local dialects?" Shen Bei'an and Gu Nan'an held hands.

The standard for a domineering CEO: fluency in eight languages.

But Gu Nanyan never held a video conference at home. When he went to the company to see her, he was either watching a drama, playing a game, or in the lounge. He never actually observed her.

So he wasn't sure if his wife could speak eight languages.

But after this trip, it seems his wife knows more than eight kinds!

“I have some talent for languages, and my grandmother was also very interested in languages, so I learned a lot from her. My grandmother had a lot of books about languages ​​in her collection. I loved reading when I was young and was also very interested in languages, so I learned as many as I could, but I wasn’t very proficient in many less common languages.”

What Gu Nanyan didn't say was that she initially learned these languages ​​to make things easier... (complaining/criticizing)

Especially the less commonly spoken languages; back in college, almost no one could understand them.

When she complains, criticizes, or insults people, her translations are often fabricated, and they have no idea what she's saying.

Until... my master somehow got hold of a translator that even translated these less common languages.

They then realized that the so-called praise was just... well...

And that's how the nickname "dog thing" came about.

Her dear classmates, when calling her name in front of others, would use the ancient Greek word – Π?ντα?ε? – as a sign of respect.

What kind classmates they are!

"So how many languages ​​do you know?!" Shen Beian had almost no talent for languages; he barely managed to learn English, let alone other languages.

Gu Nanyan shook his head. "I haven't counted them in detail. Moreover, the so-called 'knowing' depends on how you 'know' it. There are some languages ​​I only know a little about, some I can communicate normally but not deeply, and some I can use fluently like my mother tongue."

He learned a wide variety of languages ​​in his youth, and even mixed several different ones together, which caused his language system to break down for a period of time...

Even Madam Gu, who was practically a language expert, couldn't understand what she was saying.

As a result, Gu Nanyan became... temporarily mute during that period.

Shen Bei'an: I never imagined that there were so many ways to classify languages.

For Master Shen, English was something he had worked hard to learn, so why would he care about these things?

"I admire you."

Are all the domineering CEOs in these novels this powerful?

They can do everything, and they want to learn everything.

Are you that tired?

Learning should continue until death.

The wisdom of the ancients is quite reasonable.

But that's impossible for him, a lazy bum.

"If An'an is interested in any language, we can learn it together when we have time." Gu Nanyan used to be quite strict with Chen Bei'an's studies.

Although Shen Wuye's hard work in skipping grades and graduating was partly due to his friends, it was also partly due to Gu Nanyan's strict supervision.

"Huh? Hmm... Russian. I've been watching the Russian film 'Catherine the Great' recently, but I don't understand the language very well..." Shen Beian suddenly thought of something, "The translated version sounds awkward, so I can only listen to it in my native language while looking at the screen, but it's still not as enjoyable as listening to it."

Gu Nanyan hesitated for a moment, "Russian?"

"What's wrong?" Russian is one of the six major languages ​​in the world; his wife couldn't possibly not know it.

"No, it might be a bit troublesome, learning it is... a bit complicated." Russian has many variations, that's all I can say.

Shen Beian waved his hand magnanimously, "It doesn't matter. If I can learn it, I will; if I can't, then so be it. Anyway, the current translated version is passable. Besides, there are quite a few good movies in the Empire."

In the First World, when people talked about movies, they inevitably thought of Hollywood in California, USA, and the Oscars.

But in this world, when people talk about movies, they think of the ancient Huazhou of Shaanxi, and when they talk about awards, they think of Shaoweng, and only then do they think of Hollywood.

“That’s true.” How many people wouldn’t envy Shen Bei’an’s personality? Gu Nan’an raised his hand and ruffled his hair. “Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Our European trip is almost over. We’re going to ‘Mubei Island’ soon. If An’an wants anything prepared, I’ll let you know in advance.”

After all, it's an island, and getting off the island is troublesome.

Shen Beian's cheeks flushed slightly. "Mu Beidao"

I didn't feel anything when I said it myself, and I didn't feel anything when my friends teased me about it.

But from Gu Nanyan's words...

He felt inexplicably shy.
