There were three vigorous and powerful characters written on the plaque. The characters inlaid with gold on a black background were magnificent and solemn.

"What does it say?" Joan asked.

Amanda raised her head and noticed three words, "Phoenix’s Pavilion", were written on the plaque. She explained to Joan, "It is said that there was a queen of the dynasty who lived here, so it was named the Phoenix’s Pavilion."

Joan blinked as if he was thinking what she meant.

Amanda asked, "No idea what it is?"

She paused and continued, "The queen is the wife of the ancient emperor of our country. The Phoenix is the king of birds in our country. In order to show the majesty of the queen, she is honoured as the Phoenix."

"Your country's culture is really special. Everything needs to be gone around the bush." Joan seemed to understand what she meant.

Amanda smiled. "Your idiom is good, but it's not ‘to go around the bush’, it's ‘to beat around the bush’."

"What's the difference?"

"..."

"Nothing. Let's go inside."

Amanda said.

Joan followed her. "Could you teach me to write in your language afterwards?"

"If you want me to be your teacher, you have to pay me." Amanda looked at him and joked, "Since you’re so rich, I’ll charge you 2000 dollars an hour."

Joan replied, "Sure."
