Flying over the bubble era

1404 Chapter 1405. Easy to Satisfy
The Japanese husband and wife during the wedding trip, the couple are dressed in fashionable clothes, carrying newly bought suitcases, everything from coats to hats to leather shoes are brand new.As the husband, there is still a new camera hanging around his neck.Every time I arrive in a city, I go straight to the "must-see places of interest" introduced in the travel brochures published in Japan as a matter of routine. After taking pictures, I feel like I have completed the task and breathe a sigh of relief.

During the years of the bubble era, Japanese people took vacations all over the world.Thanks to them, the above description has become a stereotype of Japanese tourists in the world.It is precisely because of this that it seems that Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori, the newlywed couple who are traveling, are far from the stereotyped image of a Japanese couple in foreigners.

On the first stop of their wedding trip, the couple made a small stop in Paris.

There is no direct flight from Japan to Spain.However, when you come to the art capital, if you only regard this place as a turning point, you will inevitably feel that this trip has come too hastily.Therefore, the two plan to go sightseeing in Paris first, and then transfer to Barcelona.

Since it was a wedding trip, even if the trip was accidentally delayed due to too much fun, and the plan to return to Tokyo could only be postponed, there was no other way, and it was justifiable.This newly married couple had such an idea in mind.

Before the wedding, the two were planning their wedding trip at home. Akina Nakamori flicked through the tourist brochure. From Barcelona to Valencia to Madrid, everything about Spain was dazzling from the tourist brochure. fan. ...However, when you think of Spain, it is a sunny and shining country.

She and Yanqiao Shinichi sighed, "If you want to have fun, a week might not be enough."

The imagination of Spain has accumulated too much.

After hearing this, Yanqiao Shenyi followed her and offered his advice, "At that time, if you really want to linger, you should postpone your return to Tokyo and play for a few more days."

After hearing this, Akina Nakamori became a little excited and teased him, "San, the workaholic president, can say such a thing."

This appearance is clearly exaggerated on purpose to make fun of people.However, knowing that she did it on purpose, Yanqiao Shinichi has nothing to do with her.Accepting her teasing, he still said to her, "Even if it's the workaholic president Sang, this is the only chance for a wedding trip."

"That's right." Nakamori Akina nodded seriously, and echoed, "It's the same for Akina."

In the future, there will be plenty of opportunities for couples to travel.However, the wedding trip, only this time.Yanqiao Shinichi's words gave Nakamori Akina the confidence to pull him along to mess around.

The newly married workaholic president Sang, although his title is not the president, but it is true that there are a lot of work matters that need to be dealt with after he returns to Tokyo after his trip.On the contrary, the newly married Taopu Star, the office reserved a long vacation for her that she had never had since her debut.

Don't retire after marriage, but put family first.Akina Nakamori had spoken beforehand, and the office had no choice but to upgrade from arranging Akina Nakamori's work to coordinating with the Iwahashi family's itinerary.

Before the wedding, the office had already consciously set aside Nakamori Akina's itinerary for the remaining months of this year. Although he didn't push away all the work, when approaching the job, he tried his best to decline the need to make a lot of preparations in advance, or It is a job with too long a time span, and I put Nakamori Akina's own opinion first.

All in order to allow enough time for the newly married wife to adapt to her new identity.

It is because they are not in a hurry to end their holidays and return to work that the newlyweds who are traveling are particularly relaxed and comfortable.It is also because I am not in a hurry to hurry, that I have the leeway to stay in Paris, a little bit closer, closer, to the Spain in my dream.

……

Speaking of Paris, it reminds people of the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Eiffel Tower, and the king who was sent to the guillotine, and the queen whose gift he didn't know his fate had already marked the price secretly.

Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori stayed at a hotel near Concord Square as a couple.This square was once the place where Louis XVI and Queen Mary were beheaded.Nowadays, when foreign tourists look through the Paris tourist brochure, they must be selected as one of the tourist destinations.Living here, you can walk to the Louvre, Madeleine Church, and Orsay Museum.The famous Seine River is near it.

The Japanese really love Paris. In the era of the Meiji Restoration, there was a trend among the upper classes to learn French.This trend has spread from top to bottom, especially after the rise of mass media and the participation of cultural people in the entertainment industry, from TV commercials to pop songs, everywhere.

In the idol era, boy and girl idols, no matter what kind of foreign language idiots they are, have the opportunity to sing a song with a few French singles in the lyrics.

After all, it is because those songwriters who provide lyrics to idols are mostly from good backgrounds.These creators who have experienced the new music trend have finally gained a firm foothold, and became the creators of the men in black behind the scenes in the era of big idols. They either came from wealthy backgrounds, and a considerable number of them have lived overseas.

The young idols who are still ignorant of the world have not seen or experienced the world with their own eyes. They are already in their innocence and ignorance, and various stories have happened to this world in the lyrics and songs of famous masters.

In Paris, Akina Nakamori came here several times for work.However, Taopu Star's work is full and the schedule is tight. Every time he is surrounded by the staff, he can only take advantage of the gaps in work to visit in a hurry, buy a lot, and know the names of several famous scenic spots. Several good restaurants.

For Akina Nakamori, this is probably a city that is both familiar and unfamiliar.

This time, Shinichi and Iwahashi stopped here briefly for sightseeing. She was both her husband's unsure guide and her husband's partner in exploring the city.

"This is the place where Louis XVI and Queen Mary were guillotined. During the Revolution, this square was called 'Revolution Square'." Akina Nakamori repeated the introduction in the tourist brochure.

In fact, Iwahashi Shinichi had also read this tourist brochure.Moreover, Mr. Nianxia may be very clear about this period of history.

However, this Nakamori Akina, since he calls himself a "guide", has to play a trick, pretending to be a bad tour guide.She is such a fun-loving and mischievous person.

So, knowing her temper, Yanqiao Shinichi nodded earnestly and praised him very much, "I see."...and played the role-playing of tourist and guide with her.Such a quick reaction made Akina Nakamori laugh out loud.

If it is acting, Yanqiao Shinichi's acting skills are only eleven points.

But if it is pretending, then there is no one better than this guy.

……

The French like to ridicule tourists who compare tourist brochures and run from one room to another in the Louvre, only picking the "must-see world famous paintings" introduced in the tourist brochures.But for tourists who come from afar and leave in a hurry, there is no more practical way than this.

Both Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori are ordinary people, and they sighed in unison when looking at the world-famous paintings, but if you ask what you see, if you don’t have this sightseeing brochure that details the brilliant things in your hand, you must be at a loss.

Nevertheless, even the most ordinary layman can feel the power of them, which is the power of famous paintings.

The two of them were on the lookout, but because they were a foolish couple, they still enjoyed it.

Thanks to the record of Japanese tourists sweeping the world over the years, well-known tourist cities around the world have Japanese tips for Japanese tourists.Although these reminder texts may not be able to ensure that Japanese tourists can travel here unimpeded, they can certainly ensure that Japanese tourists pay their bills correctly.

When you come to a non-English-speaking country, it is unrealistic to expect to be able to travel freely with English.In recent years, overseas travel has become popular, and Japanese publishing houses have released a large number of foreign language crash guides for tourism.

However, when I opened it, I felt like I had fallen into a hell called "Katakana".

If you want to punish a person who travels abroad but does not learn a foreign language well, let him get lost on the streets of a foreign country because of language barriers, instead of giving him a foreign language handbook with katakana phonetic notation.

Shinichi Iwahashi made a fuss secretly, but Akina Nakamori read the manual carefully, muttering short words spelled out in katakana.

In a strange foreign country, Yanqiao Shinichi, who has always been reliable and seems to be omnipotent, finally lost his ability to do things with ease.A little problem might stump him.But back then, Xiajun was no longer able to do a job with ease, at such a moment, Nakamori Akina became full of energy.For her, it seems to be a matter of course to stand up for her husband when he is in trouble.

If it were a real Japanese, if the wife behaved too aggressively and took the lead in everything, the husband might feel that his face would be damaged.But Yanqiao Shinichi is a crooked nut after all, and he will only praise him repeatedly from the side.

...As expected of a man who can fill his stomach with soft and delicious rice.

However, Akina Nakamori does this.His attitude encouraged her.

Compared with Shinichi Iwahashi, this kid from the shopping street is better at dealing with unfamiliar environments and more proficient in communicating with people.She smiled and took Shinichi Iwahashi's arm, and taught him her magic weapon, "Although the languages ​​are different, the facial expressions and smiles are the same."

That said, Katakana French isn't much use, right?
Arriving in a foreign country, Akina Nakamori talked and laughed, openly, and held arms with Shinichi Iwahashi.

Ever since the famous scene of "joying in front of the billiard room" was photographed by the weekly magazine, and he was treated as a stalk by a comedian in a variety show for fun, Iwahashi Shinichi has a kind of intimacy with the public. The thick skin was scalded with boiling water, and Nakamori Akina tossed and tossed it casually, and he cooperated without changing his face.

Now, when he came to Paris where no one would recognize him, he was even more fearless and self-defeating——

The words say so.

What made Iwahashi Shinichi even more uncomfortable than being arm in arm in public was that after coming to Paris, this small, small person, Akina Nakamori, was only about 15 years old in the eyes of foreigners.This made Yanqiao Shinichi feel a little guilty like an old cow eating tender grass at certain times.

...even though in fact he himself is the next king.

But watching her feel at ease in an unfamiliar environment, Yanqiao Shenyi couldn't help but think of when he first arrived, in those three months, he was at a loss when facing a strange country alone.At that time, I would never have imagined that the dice of life would roll such points.

Yanqiao Shenyi thought about this, and he couldn't help smiling when he heard Nakamori Akina's wise words with a little complacency.

Nakamori Akina glanced at him lightly, and asked, "Is Shinichi thinking, I'm really thick-skinned?" Speaking ill of herself to Iwahashi Shinichi, to some extent, can also be called a bit of her interest.

When Akina Nakamori spoke ill of herself to Shinichi Iwahashi, the answer she really wanted to hear was "No".

That's who she is.

Yanqiao Shenyi smiled, and replied: "It is a little bit."

He knew exactly what Akina Nakamori was thinking, and was willing to tolerate this little thought.Tease her first, then turn the subject around and say something nice, "However, in this case, a thicker skin will help a lot."

Actually, this sentence is telling the truth.

This Akina Nakamori smiled immediately, which was easy to dismiss.

Always trying to find a way to formulate nice words from Mr. Nianxia, ​​with such a temper, it seems a bit nonsense.However, as long as a nice word can make her happy.It's really hard to say, whether this Nakamori Akina likes to play tricks on him, or is he easy to be satisfied when facing him.

She smiled, and suddenly said seriously to Yanqiao Shinichi, "If I was alone, I might not be able to do it. But, with you here, Shinichi, I feel that I can try anything."

"If I'm the only one," Akina Nakamori straightened his shoulders, but said something discouraging, "just let yourself go and float anywhere like a balloon."

However, Shinichi Iwahashi didn't feel that Akina Nakamori was as fragile as she said.

But compared to whether Nakamori Akina is such a person... Iwahashi Shen listened to her words in his heart, and felt the loneliness in Nakamori Akina's words.Then, he realized that his union with her was a precious bond between two lonely people.

At this time, Akina Nakamori passed her hand over and said to him, "So, the thread at the other end of the balloon is in your hands, Shinichi."

Yanqiao Shinichi replied, "Akina, you are not as erratic as a balloon."

"What should that be?" Nakamori Akina blinked her curious eyes.

Yanqiao Shenyi suddenly ran out of words.After thinking about it, I said a lame sentence, "Probably a dandelion that is very demanding on the environment."

"Hahaha!" Akina Nakamori couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Even on the streets of Paris, such a child who suddenly burst into laughter is not inconspicuous.

It was not easy to hear such foolish words from Iwahashi Shinichi.She laughed out loud, Yanqiao Shinichi suddenly felt embarrassed, stopped, turned his head, and looked at the street artist who was performing by the side of the road.

Nakamori Akina also stopped, and the two naturally blended into the crowd of onlookers.She looked at the performance, but she talked to Iwahashi Shinichi, "Why is it a dandelion that is very demanding on the environment? This kind of statement is also..."

"Is it strange?"

Iwahashi Shinichi knew it himself.However, he explained, "Comparing people to animals or plants is either inappropriate here or inappropriate there. Therefore, it is necessary to add a few more qualifiers in front."

Perhaps others will think that Shinichi Iwahashi's words are boring, and Akina Nakamori sometimes deliberately dislikes him for being too rigorous when he doesn't need to be rigorous.But in fact, she likes Shinichi Iwahashi.

Thinking of this, Nakamori Akina just smiled slightly, waiting for his next words with a kind of tacit understanding accumulated in years of getting along.

Yanqiao Shinichi said of him, "Dandelions float around, but when they fall down, they take root and sprout, and firmly hold on to the land." Akina Nakamori has never been a light balloon that flies away when the wind blows.

"Actually," Shinichi Yanqiao suddenly smiled, "I should have said just now that Mingcai is Mingcai, neither a balloon nor a dandelion."

Nakamori Akina also laughed, she seemed to be playing against Iwahashi Shinichi, and also seemed to be playing with him, and replied: "Sometimes it looks like a balloon, sometimes it looks like a dandelion, but Akina is just Akina."

Why are you talking about this on your wedding trip?

However, the topic unfolded naturally, and the two people who were talking looked relaxed.It's not a deliberate discussion, but in the casual chat, many things and many ideas are becoming clearer and clearer.

……

In the past few times, Akina Nakamori came to Paris for work, and when he was in a hurry to go sightseeing after work, he always had a passion for shopping.But this time, when he was strolling leisurely with Yanqiao Shinichi, he lost that energy.Perhaps, it is the busyness and urgency that give birth to a high desire to shop.

The editorial department of the travel brochure is very considerate, the travel information for female readers is romantic and beautiful, and the Paris consultation for male readers is gorgeous and practical.There is something wonderfully interesting about putting the words gorgeous and practical together.But in a way, "Paris for men" is indeed both gorgeous and practical.

In a few years, this kind of travel brochure will probably disappear.Even the Japanese can no longer appreciate this kind of winking humor from the difference between men and women.But in this day and age of Japan, nothing could be more normal.

However, if it is the song and dance show in Lido, or the Chanson tavern in Montmartre, Akina Nakamori is probably more interested than Shinichi Iwahashi.

Compared with visiting the artworks in the Louvre, watching the bed where the king slept in the Palace of Versailles, or climbing the steel and iron frame of the Eiffel Tower, the wonderful performance is more in the heart of Akina Nakamori.

The couple reached an agreement, drank a few glasses, and when they were slightly drunk, they were ready to feast their eyes.

Now that the bubble has burst and the cloud of recession has shrouded Japan, the number of Japanese people who come to vacation is much less than in the heyday.However, an era is shattered, if someone is buried under the ruins, and someone's hope is shattered, then there must be someone who will expand in this world, someone will retreat from this world, and someone will still live the same as before. life.

The end of an era never ends abruptly.Today's Paris is still popular with some Japanese tourists.

I was in Paris, a couple, and sometimes met a Japanese tour group led by a tour guide.A huge formation of 20 people acting together is enough for two people to find out in time, turn around, and avoid being recognized.

However, when encountering Japanese tourists who are acting alone, if they are recognized, there is no way to hide.

"Mingcai sauce?!"

Meeting face to face, the young wife couldn't help but widen her eyes.

A couple of Japanese tourists, the man looks like a middle-aged office worker, and the young lady, who looks seven or eight years younger than him, strikes up a conversation with a tentative tone.

You can meet fans even thousands of miles away.

Shinichi Iwahashi felt the wonderful experience that can only be had by marrying a Mrs. Taopusda, watching Nakamori Akina respond to her naturally.

The middle-aged office worker who was walking with the young wife looked this way, and when his eyes met Yanqiao Shen, he showed a somewhat reserved expression, and lowered his head slightly to him, as if to express his apology.

The couple, the husband, are brand new from shirts to shoes, as if the wife helped to choose the dress, with a camera on the neck and waist, exactly the same as the Japanese tourist couple in the stereotype of foreigners.

In fact, Shinichi Iwahashi also had a pocket camera in his pocket, which he bought specially for this wedding trip.Thinking of this, he nodded to the middle-aged office worker on the opposite side. It seemed that at this moment, some subtle consensus had been reached and the identities of each other had been confirmed.

Shinichi Iwahashi listened to the conversation between the young lady and Akina Nakamori.

The couple came to Europe for a wedding trip, and Paris was their last stop.Listening to the young lady's explanation, Nakamori Akina told her with a smile that he was also here for a wedding trip, "However, Paris is the first stop."

"Really?!" The young lady covered her mouth with one hand, as if frightened.When she came back to her senses, she congratulated Nakamori Akina and Iwahashi Shin, "Happy newlyweds!"

The young lady, with big bright eyes, is the expression of a person in happiness, gazing at the happiness of others.

"I like the two of you so much. It's so lucky to meet Ming Caijiang on the way of the wedding trip!" She seemed to be deeply moved, and when she said this, her true feelings were revealed, and she raised her hand to cover her eyes.

A man who will cry for the happiness of others.

Just now, when his wife was talking to Nakamori Akina, the husband, who seemed to stay out of the matter, looked at his wife thoughtfully at this moment.

……

The young lady and her husband say goodbye to Shinichi Iwahashi and Akina Nakamori.

Meeting such a happy couple made Nakamori Akina's heart filled with joy and warmth.Putting down her waving arms, she withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at Yanqiao Shinichi, and saw his thoughtful expression.

She looked at this serious face when she was thinking with a smile, and she was a little curious, "What is Shen Yi thinking?"
