I was a god in the 18th century

Chapter 326 She Can Speak French
Just when Xia Shishi was struggling to communicate with the other party and was in a state of panic, Xia Qingdai stepped forward and solved her dilemma with her fluent London-accented English.

That’s not all. Xia Qingdai paused for a moment and then started speaking French again - she just heard these foreign students communicating quickly in French, which showed that French was their mother tongue.

Xia Shishi was stunned watching from the side.

Jiangda classmate, you are so scary!
She never expected that her beautiful roommate not only spoke fluent London accent English, but also French!

I've never heard her mention it!
Xia Shishi put herself in his shoes and thought that if she could speak French, she would lose if she didn’t use a French word in a sentence!

How on earth could Xia Qingdai resist showing off?! Xia Shishi was simply in awe of her.

Seeing that Xia Qingdai was about to leave after finishing the translation, Xia Shishi quickly grabbed her and said in a low voice: "Don't go, don't go, don't go! Qingdai, stay and help me! This is a big deal. I can't communicate with them at all. I'm so worried."

Xia Qingdai checked the time on her phone. It was still early for the afternoon class. "Okay, but I can only wait until the afternoon class."

"OK." Xia Shishi replied, "I have to go to class too, and a senior who doesn't have classes will take over later. By the way, why don't you go home this weekend? Come with me? Be my helper, and I'll treat you to a movie and a big dinner, how about that?"

"I'm afraid that's not a good idea." Xia Qingdai was reluctant when she heard that. The big meal was still tempting to a little foodie like her, but there was really nothing to watch in the movie.

The most important thing is that she is going to her Lilliput country at the weekend. What does this kind of cultural exchange have to do with her!

When Xia Shishi saw Xia Qingdai like this, she immediately said, "Forget it, let's talk about this later. Help me with this first."

With the addition of Xia Qingdai, a language expert, communication between volunteers and international students at the cultural exchange meeting became smooth.

Xia Qingdai's spoken French level is better than that of the volunteers from Jiangnan University's French Department.

Because the other party was in a large class with dozens of students and one teacher, while Xia Qingdai was a one-on-one private teacher. In addition to Miss Bai, almost all the ladies and gentlemen in the upper class in the 18th century could speak French and exchanged a few words from time to time. The language environment was incomparable.

In this event, Xia Qingdai was the external aid invited by Xia Shishi, while the other French department students came up on their own to practice speaking.

In the following days, whenever Xia Qingdai got out of class, Xia Shishi would drag her to participate in activities together. In order to prevent Xia Qingdai from being a pure volunteer, she fought for her to be guaranteed an honorary certificate in the club, which could be considered a resume.

This weekend, Xia Qingdai was unable to go home and play in her Lilliput kingdom. She was kept back by the persistent Xia Shishi.

She gave Xia Shishi an imperial skirt, and Xia Shishi gave her a set of flowing large-sleeved Hanfu from the Wei and Jin Dynasties. This was in line with the theme of this international exchange event, which was to showcase the ancient civilization of our great country.

These days, good Hanfu is very expensive to make stitch by stitch, but a cheap studio-style one might only cost twenty or thirty.

The Hanfu dress Xia Shishi gave was as good as the Empire Dress Xia Qingdai gave it in terms of workmanship and material. It was probably not an ordinary online product and its price must be over a thousand.

On Saturday, Xia Qingdai, who wore Hanfu, spoke fluent foreign languages ​​and could translate in real time, attracted foreigners to praise her as "beautiful" as soon as she appeared, and she became the talk of the town.

On this day, she followed a large group to Pingyao Old Street to experience China's intangible cultural heritage.

Walking into Pingyao Old Street, many people were wearing Ma Gua or Hanfu. The large-sleeved shirts fluttered with traces of history, giving Xia Qingdai the illusion of traveling through time and space.

The old buildings from the 1960s and 1970s, even the moss on the corners seems to be telling the story of time.

When she walked into the paper umbrella museum, she also happened to meet an old acquaintance from another group - Eucommia ulmoides.

He was also a foreign aid recruited by the Youth Volunteer Association because he had a year of experience in exchange in the UK and was very good at spoken English. "Brother Du, what a coincidence." Xia Qingdai stepped forward and greeted him. The more she knew about this person, the more she wanted to build a good relationship with him. Not to mention whether he could become a great doctor in the future, the papers he could produce from the projects he was currently in charge of were enough to make people excited.

Du Zhong nodded at Xia Qingdai, showing a little emotional intelligence.

"You can speak French. There are two French girls in our group, so we will merge them into your group." Du Zhong never likes to talk nonsense.

Xia Qingdai turned her head and saw two blonde girls taking pictures of them with their cell phones.

Almost instantly, Xia Qingdai understood that the passionate and romantic French girl must have given Du Zhong a headache, so he dumped her.

"No problem. I'm quite surprised that Senior Brother Du would come to a place like this. Doesn't your ears hurt?" Xia Qingdai tilted her head and asked him.

Du Zhong said helplessly: "It hurts a little."

"Who invited you here?" Xia Qingdai was curious. Du Zhong didn't seem like someone who didn't know how to say no. It shouldn't be possible to get him to come just based on their ordinary relationships.

Du Zhong did not answer, but his eyes looked somewhere. There was an old customer of Xia Qingdai there - Feng Yanxi, the fairy fruit.

Because of something, Du Zhong owed the other person a favor.

"Hey, she's here too." Xia Qingdai looked over and Feng Yanxi turned her head towards her as if she had eyes on her back.

Today she is wearing a combination of Hanfu and Lolita, the upper body is Hanfu style, the lower body is a princess-style puffy skirt. It is quite fairy-tale-like and in line with her usual look.

Seeing Xia Qingdai and Du Zhong standing together, Feng Yanxi said something to the two foreign students next to her, and then walked towards them.

Du Zhong caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, then walked over and went to act as an interpreter for an old black man who didn't seem to need much help.

Xia Qingdai was certain that Du Zhong was intentionally avoiding Feng Yanxi, and it seemed that the two of them were not very close.

"Hello." Xia Qingdai raised a standard spring-like smile that she would give to loyal customers.

Most of her current Lolita skirts were sold to her. She only sold one to someone else last time, and it was introduced by Fairy Guoguo.

"Hello, it's painful." Feng Yanxi walked forward with a smile, but her eyes followed Du Zhong who was leaving. "Thank you very much for coming to help our club today. I'll treat you to dinner later in the evening."

"No thanks. My roommate asked me to come. She promised to treat me to a big dinner."

"Oh, is it Junior Xia Shishi?"

"um, yes."

"Okay, okay, let's get together some other day!" Feng Yanxi was used to using money to get things done, so she was well-informed about news both inside and outside the school. She was one of the few people who knew that Xia Qingdai was the last disciple of Academician Liang, so her smile towards Xia Qingdai became even brighter.

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and then went their separate ways.

Today, students from thirty-one countries have gathered in Pingyao Old Street, and the volunteers are busy with their work.
