Drive, let’s go!

Before Jiang An set off, he specially asked Lin Xixi to change clothes. After all, the temperature here was still a bit low, and it seemed a bit unbearable to wear a short down jacket.

"Is it okay?"

After putting on the large cotton-padded jacket again, Lin Xixi felt that Jiang An had to wear a scarf for her, which was actually a bit unnecessary: ​​"Look, I'm armed to the teeth now."

"You don't need a scarf, okay?"

"unnecessary?"

Jiang An was happy: "It seems that our classmate Xiao Lin still hasn't understood the true meaning of the north. Don't worry, I guarantee you will thank me when you go out later."

"If not, bitch man, you have to carry me back."

Jiang An nodded, and their bet was settled. But what made Lin Xixi very strange was that Teacher Jiang had no conditions today?

"Tell the truth, are you holding something back?"

"Have it?"

Jiang Ancai refused to admit it: "I'm just worried about your health, that's all, I promise."

"Then you don't want any winnings?"

Jiang An nodded: "No, I will do what I say."

"All right……"

Looking at his appearance, Lin Xixi didn't know what to say. Although she was still murmuring in her heart, she stopped talking on her face.

Anyway, she had already given the opportunity to Jiang An, which he did not cherish. It would be useless if he regretted it later.

……

Because there are navigations now, it is very convenient even for outsiders to go wherever they want. Jiang An originally wanted to go to Central Street to visit, but then he thought about it.

There are all delicious food there, such as Madier ice cream, and there are several famous local shops. If Lin Xixi is taken here, the little girl will definitely be greedy.

So after some hesitation, he finally decided to go to Hagia Sophia for a walk.

"Teacher Jiang, do you know the origin of this church?"

Jiang An nodded and couldn't help but smile: "Hagia Sophia is actually an Orthodox church, and it was originally built as a military church."

"It is said that the top of the main entrance is a bell tower, and the seven copper bells have exactly seven notes. It takes a well-trained bell ringer to use their hands and feet together to strike the melodious bells."

"Furthermore, the church building plan is laid out in a Greek cross pattern, which is influenced by the Byzantine architectural style. The main dome and bell tower also have the traditional Russian "tent roof" and "onion head" shapes. It looks very integrated."

After all, Jiang An is not a local, so he doesn't know whether his statement is correct, but at least he feels so.

"It is a historically protected building in our country. It was built in 1907 and has a long history in the local area, although the reason for its original construction was not very glorious."

"But later it became a local landmark. It can be regarded as a fusion of cultures."

Lin Xixi nodded. While Jiang An was talking, she was actually checking on her mobile phone: "It is said that there is an exhibition hall down here, right?"

"Correct!"

Jiang An hummed: "And it seems to be the first large-scale exhibition hall built in the local area. It is of great significance anyway."

"Also, Teacher Jiang, can I ask you, what is Orthodox Christianity?"

Lin Xixi had never heard of such a sect, so she thought it was not very famous.

"It would be wrong to say that."

Jiang An has some understanding of Orthodox Christianity, because he added elements of Orthodox Christianity in some aspects when making games.

"This is one of the three major sects of Christianity, and it is quite famous in Tsarist Russia. It is also the most important sect."

"In 2014, there were nearly million Orthodox believers."

"Do you think this is still a small sect?"

Four hundred million people? !

Lin Xixi was shocked: "In that case, I don't know enough about these things."

"You can't say that."

Jiang An smiled slightly: "It's just that we don't have this belief, so it's normal not to know. If I hadn't played games before, I wouldn't have been able to understand it."

"No, it's just that I know too little."

Lin Xixi pouted, already ready to start learning: "Anyway, after this trip is over, the college still needs us to do a lot of things, and I also plan to do a better job."

This is the character of Nvxia Lin. Either she doesn’t do something, or if she does, she has to do her best.

"Teacher Jiang, you have to help me when the time comes."

Jiang An was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know what he could do to help.     “Of course you will help me study!”

Lin Xixi said angrily: "Isn't it boring for me to study by myself? You help me and we are together."

"Who made you a teacher?"

"Right, Teacher Jiang?"

Seeing her acting dishonestly, Jiang An couldn't help but smile: "Okay, little girl, since you said this, what else can I do?"

"I can study with you, but this time our classmate Xixi needs to show some attitude. I don't know much about these elements and culture."

"So let's work together, okay?"

Lin Xixi nodded and answered very affirmatively.

In fact, for Lin Xixi, studying is not a problem at all. It can only be said that she likes the feeling of having Jiang An with her.

Being able to be with the person you love and do something together is a different feeling.

"Teacher Jiang, I like you more and more."

Because Jiang An was driving, otherwise, he would definitely rub her little head hard. Don't be too cute, okay?

But having said that, Jiang An still has another request: "In addition to the culture here, we will also cover all other provinces."

"So you should also study other cultures."

"Don't forget what the dean said when we came out this time."

Lin Xixi was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Don't worry, no matter what the dean said, I will definitely listen to grandpa's words anyway."

"Teacher Jiang, don't you still believe me?"

"Why don't I believe you?" Jiang An said and had already stopped the car. This time, Lin Xixi could not help but continue to "dominate". He pounced on the food like a hungry tiger. Originally, he planned to press the little girl on the seat and kiss her. A few mouthfuls.

But I didn't expect this girl to get out of the car in a flash.

Jiang An now regrets why he opened the car door in advance just now.

Isn't this delaying things?

……

Strolling outside Hagia Sophia and looking at the special and interesting buildings, Jiang An had an indescribable feeling: "It's like this place makes me feel like I'm abroad."

"I think so."

Lin Xixi has long been attracted by these Russian classical and Byzantine-style buildings. These two cultures have never been touched by her before.

So now that I feel it personally, I do have an indescribable feeling and taste.

"Look, that's the onion you're talking about, right?"

"What's it like in there?"

Jiang An shook his head, "I don't know. Let's just walk around outside and then go in and take a look."

"correct!"

Speaking of which, Jiang An still has something to ask: "Do you have any beads or anything like that on you?"

"No."

Lin Xixi shook her head: "What's wrong?"

Jiang An continued: "So there's nothing about other religions, right?"

"No."

"That's good."

After smiling, Jiang An told Lin Xixi: "Although this is a tourist attraction, it also has a different meaning in the hearts of many local believers."

"We are not Orthodox Christians, but we still have to respect others."

"Are you right?"

Lin Xixi nodded. She had to admit that this man was really attentive, because in just a moment, she saw many people with different beliefs coming in and out.

How should I put it, although it doesn't matter, after all, if someone else's believers see it, they will not be happy.

"Come on, let's go in and take a look."

Holding Jiang An's hand, the two of them walked into Hagia Sophia together.

As soon as you walk in, you will immediately feel a sense of splendor. There are Barot-style paintings everywhere, showing the Orthodox Christians' views on the universe at that time. Coupled with the paintings on the walls and historical photos, it instantly makes you feel... It brings people into the memory of that era. (End of chapter)
