Chapter 1902 Banquet Conflict (10)

Facing Barbara's questioning, Lucas just chuckled: "Don't worry, Miss Barbara, I have no intention of changing the judgment method you mentioned before. The reason why I invited these two people to come is just to make the whole competition fairer. These two ladies are not involved in the judgment, but they will give comments after the two people have finished the presentation. I think with the explanations of the two experts, you can understand the presentation more deeply, right?"

Of course, Lucas paused for a moment and showed a meaningful smile: "If a lady deliberately showed her commentary, ah, it's wrong, it should be said that if she remembered it wrongly, I think these two etiquette teachers would be happy to help correct it afterwards..."

Barbara's face suddenly became very ugly. It seemed that she had indeed wanted to play some tricks before so that the oriental woman in front of her would be ugly, but now it seems that it is not possible. If she was caught by the two etiquette teachers in front of her later, she would be embarrassed.

"Okay, two, can you start?" Lucas spread his arms and looked at Barbara and Jane.

"Yes!" Barbara pursed her lips and said in a cold voice.

"Sorry, I have a problem..." Jian'er gently raised her right hand and signaled that she had something to say.

"Please say!" Lucas said.

He nodded slightly to Lucas and then Jian'er looked at the Ms. Zhao and said hesitantly: "That's right, Ms. Zhao, my family practices pure ancient rituals, which may be a little different from some modern etiquette..."

It’s really not that she mentioned this specifically, but I have to mention it! Before meeting the Lu Wang family, where did Jian’er, a child from an orphan, go to systematically learn these so-called etiquettes? It’s already a pretty good time to be able to have enough food and clothing. It’s useless to systematically learn etiquette (at least for ordinary people in the middle and lower classes of society, this thing is really useless. If you do basic politeness, you won’t offend people if you don’t have rudeness). How can she care about the meaning of that affection?

Jian'er began to systematically learn etiquette, or follow Lu Wang to conduct an orthodox lady tutorial. That was when he got space, became rich and leisurely, and then took in the soul cultivation of Lu's lineage. Lu Wang was simply a pure ancient man, and of course this teaching was pure ancient rituals.

As time goes by and society develops, this etiquette will of course change accordingly. Although it is impossible to overturn the ancient etiquette completely, it is a slight difference. If this is why the Ms. Zhao in front of her thinks that her etiquette is wrong, it would be too unfair.

"Haha, little girl, don't worry, my Zheng family comes from the Zheng family in Xingyang back then, and they practiced the same ancient rituals, so your worries are purely unnecessary." Mr. Zheng smiled. Things today seem to be getting more and more fun. He didn't expect to meet a little guy who said he was an ancient ritual. Apart from the orderly old family like them, few of them dare to say that he was an ancient ritual, and they were pure ancient rituals. Even for a family like them, except for the real direct descendants who have been reading and reading since childhood and have been rigorously trained, even the children of the sidelines dare not make such big talk. I just hope that this little guy will not be polite, otherwise with Xiao Zhao's temperament of not rubbing sand in his eyes, this little guy will be scolded in a while!

"That's good." Jian'er didn't see the joking and watching the show in the old man's eyes, but she didn't care, she didn't lie anyway.

"Do you have no other problems now?" Lucas confirmed the last time. Jane and Barbara shook their heads at the same time, "Okay, the competition officially begins now, who will show it first?"

"I'll come first." Barbara took a step forward with a confident look. Lucas looked at Jian'er, and Jian'er shrugged, looking indifferent: "Miss Barbara is a guest from afar, please beg first!"

Nodding at Jian'er with a reserved look, Barbara straightened her body, raised her chin slightly, and gently put her hand in front of her abdomen. A sense of arrogance that seemed to emerge from her bones burst out from her body. Even if she just stood like this, it was enough to subconsciously distinguish her from the people around her.

The proud princess!

Looking at the full momentum of Barbara, everyone couldn't help but feel this feeling. Even the seemingly serious Mrs. Basher could not help but nodded slightly to express approval.

"Please look at it, Translator Song, what I want to demonstrate and explain to you now is the most important and common etiquette of our Western lady etiquette - Curtsy!"

Curtsy is the most common traditional greeting etiquette in the West, mostly used for girls and actors (especially ballets). Women need to bow their knees and nod their heads when ceremonies. In Western culture, curtsy for women corresponds to the bow etiquette of men. In modern times, this etiquette is more common in Western courts and is still indispensable in the royal family of King E.

There is a reason why Barbara chose Curtsy at the beginning. As we often say, for chefs, big fish and meat are not a play, and only when you clear the porridge and side dishes, it seems that the simplest ritual is to really do it, but it is not that easy. Barbara is very confident, even if Jane knows the etiquette, it lacks the cultivation of the environment and strict learning. It is absolutely impossible to do it as elegant as her.

Not to mention the investigation report she received, the oriental woman in front of her had not learned their Western etiquette at all. With just a few minutes of explanation and observation practice, she wanted to learn to curtsy gracefully. Humph, you don’t have to think about it and know that this is absolutely impossible! If this curtsy is not done well, it will look as ugly as a clumsy duck...

By the way, there is also the later display session. She is looking forward to Lei's view of the translator Song showing the essence of his ugly duckling against the backdrop of his elegant curtsy. Then he will definitely throw away the ugly duckling and choose to take the hand of his white swan! When he thinks of this possibility, Barbara feels a hot heart...

"Please look at it, Translator Song." Taking a deep breath, Barbara suppressed the excitement, and then spoke reservedly: "There are two types of curtsy, namely ordinary curtsy and formal curtsy. Ordinary curtsy pulled up the skirt with both hands and spread it to both sides, bent her knees slightly, lowered her head with a smile, about one second. Sometimes the legs can also be crossed back, just like this..." As he said that, Barbara lifted up the hem of the skirt and elegantly performed the two ways of ceremonials one by one.

"What I want to do next is a more formal curtsy. This curtsy is usually only used to pay tribute to the royal family, or in extremely formal occasions." Speaking of this, Barbara did not forget to glance at Jian'er with contempt, as if saying--just like you, I guess there will be no chance to perform such a ritual in my life. "When performing this ritual, your knees need to be slightly opened outward, and one foot is retreated, and then lift the hem of the skirt on the side of your body with both hands. This action needs to be deep and delicate."

After saying that, Barbara demonstrated again, then stood up and said, "Okay, do you understand? You can try to practice and remember, there are only five minutes to look forward to your presentation."

That's right, she is looking forward to the display of this oriental woman. Haha, a "duck" from the east is so exciting...

To Barbara's expectation, Jian'er did not rush to start practicing immediately, but closed her eyes gently, looking thoughtful. After a while, Jian'er's eyes slowly opened, her arms gently spread out, her skirt gently lifted, and one leg was wrong, and her body slowly lowered. Jian'er's movements were very slow. As long as her eyes were better, she would find that Jian'er seemed to be slightly adjusting the angle of her feet and figure.

Regarding Jian'er's movements, even Barbara in the banquet hall did not feel anything wrong with Jian'er's movements. She just thought she was doing a bit funny. Could it be that this person forgot what Barbara said just now? This ceremony does not require squatting for so long, one second is enough. But what is this person doing? Is he standing in a stance that shows the famous martial arts of Z?

Some guests in the banquet hall couldn't help but start to complain secretly. They seemed to have foreseeed the possibility of Jian'er's failure and making a fool of themselves. But what everyone did not notice was that the Western etiquette taught by Lucas. Ms. Basher's eyes began to shine when she saw Jian'er's movements. This time, she was a real layman watching the fun, and this expert was looking at the tricks.

If Barbara's etiquette made her nod and praise before, then Jian'er's current performance was amazing. Because she found that the posture that Jian'er was posing was not aimless, because although Jian'er's movements were slow, it could still be seen from Mrs. Basher's eyes that at the beginning, Jian'er was basically Barbara's movements before she completely c, and the actions behind her were simply the self-adjustment and control.

This is a truly amazing ability...

Because Mrs. Basher soon discovered that Jane's ability was really amazing, because Mrs. Basher could feel that with every slight change, Mrs. Basher found that Jane's movements would be more elegant.

God, she didn't see it. It was just a few minutes. The Curtsey in front of her had already been listening, absorbing, imitating, self-correcting, and finally mature... and this elegant demeanor can only be described as being too much and even more than Barbara.

No, no! Mrs. Basher slowly shook her head, different! Although the same movements, although the same standards, and the same temperament are noble and elegant, they are different. Barbara has noble and elegant style with reserve and arrogance, which is the superior self-awareness engraved in her bones. This temperament makes people unable to help but look up at it, and they will also feel distant.

But this oriental woman is different. She is restrained and timeless, and she tolerate everything like the sea, which still makes people look up to it, but she will not feel distant. Instead, she will become attached to it because of the tolerance and warmth it shows, just like as long as she stays by her side, her whole heart will calm down.

Not noticed Mrs. Basher's shock, Barbara noticed only Mrs. Basher's head that kept shaking!

Hahaha..., she said, although it's just an ordinary curtsy, it's not that easy to do well, especially with her, she is in front of her. Humph, I'm afraid that the ugly duckling will be despised this time.

With her own eyes, Barbara raised her pride and looked around the crowd around her. What, what happened?! What about the contempt in anticipation and the ridicule in it? Why isn't it? On the contrary, what she saw was infatuation, and this infatuation was not towards herself, but focused on..., raised her head in disbelief and looked in the direction where Jane was...

"I'm ready." Jian'er's voice sounded softly. Unfortunately, Barbara slowed down. When she looked over, Jian'er had already stood up straight.

If Jian'er's voice broke the spell, it would wake Zhongkas, who was also in a semi-disgusted state. His eyes narrowed slightly, and Lukas couldn't help but look at Jian'er with a strange look. He knew that the person in front of him should not be simple, but now it seems that he was afraid that this person would be far less simple than he thought. He claimed to be self-control and was not easily affected by external factors, but he never thought that it would be just an action that would make him lose his mind.

Suppressing the surprise in his heart, Lucas couldn't even see anything wrong on his face: "Very good, then, the next career is to show it together, please prepare."

"It's a great honor to know two elegant ladies!" Lucas's heels were put together, his hands slightly raised and placed them between his abdomen, and his body leaned forward gracefully.

At this time, the difference was seen. Barbara, who was not strictly trained, was almost conditioned reflex, and at the most accurate and appropriate time, he gracefully lifted the hem of the skirt and returned a curtsy. Jian'er was extremely glad that she stood diagonally at Barbara's diagonal position. The outskirts of her eyes saw this person's movement, but she was a little slower and saluted Lucas.

Although it was only half a step, ordinary people might not even notice it, but they could never escape the sharp eyes of the expert etiquette teacher like Mrs. Basher, and a faint regret appeared in Mrs. Basher's eyes, but she did not speak and still stood there with a serious face.

On the other side, the trio who finished the ceremony also stood up at the same time.
