Chapter 166: A Different Landscape

The next day, Gu Yuanxiang got up early in the morning and went downstairs for breakfast. Although Gu Yuanfeng's cooking is not very good, he has complete facilities at home. Whether he wants to eat Chinese or Western food, the equipment at home is enough for him to make anything he wants. Of course, these electrical appliances, their role is only to let Wu Ziyan provide her with choices when she wants to cook.

"Brother, I got up early, what kind of breakfast are you doing?" Gu Yuanxiang saw that Gu Yuanfeng had turned off the gas hood, obviously looking like he had just cooked a meal.

"I'll show you a hand today, and I'll go back and tell my grandmother that I've really made progress since I went out, and I'll make you a fried rice with shredded pork with green peppers today." Gu Yuanfeng gestured with his hand to stir-fry the vegetables.

"Isn't the shredded pork with green pepper fried by Sister Ziyan last night and left over?" Gu Yuanxiang asked straightly.

"yes, I fried them with the white rice left over from last night, and it tasted good, I just tasted it." Gu Yuanfeng felt that it was also laborious to fry the leftover rice and vegetables together. Salt, oil, and heat must be mastered well, and I obviously have a good grasp of this pot of rice.

"I smell it." Gu Yuanxiang walked to the kitchen and opened the lid of the pot, "It smells good, the shredded green pepper meat is really fragrant." It seems, well, the rice is not fried, and it can barely be regarded as having both color and flavor. ”

"Thank you sister for such a pertinent evaluation, try it first?" Gu Yuanfeng said with his eyes in the sky.

"Okay, give me a bowl, I guess I have to run for a day today, eat more than \ one \ read \ novel xstxt and not be hungry." Gu Yuanxiang commanded like an empress.

"Then the princess will move the table first, and the little one will be brought to you at once." Gu Yuanfeng made a gesture of please.

After a while, Wu Ziyan also went downstairs for breakfast, and without commanding, Gu Yuanfeng quickly served her a bowl.

Wu Ziyan and Gu Yuanxiang gathered at the gate of the Palace of Versailles together, Gu Yuanxiang explained to the professor that there was one more person and said that she would bear all the expenses by herself, just to rub the route. As Gu Yuanxiang had guessed in advance, the professor quickly agreed. The students are very interested in the beauties brought by Gu Yuanxiang, but they didn't expect the little princess to like this girl with a tone.

Everyone just expressed their curiosity with their eyes, but soon, their curiosity was attracted by the building in front of them.

The Palace of Versailles is a classicist style building, and the façade is a standard classicist three-section treatment, the façade is divided into vertical and horizontal sections, and the building is symmetrical on the left and right. The exterior colors of the building are beautiful, and it looks regal and intimate. As soon as you enter the lobby, you will see the statue of Louis XIV, and the interior of the palace is mainly decorated in the Baroque style with a little rococo. From the time Louis XIII bought the land to the end of Louis XVI, the Palace of Versailles was built and cultivated by generations of monarchs. The Baroque style is characterized by freedom of shape, the pursuit of dynamics, a preference for rich decoration and carving, strong colors, and often interspersed with curved surfaces and oval spaces. Every piece of the palace's ceiling is filled with opulence, and the vaulted ceiling shines brightly through the sun, dappled on the ground, revealing its outline. There are many halls in the whole palace, among which the style of the mirror hall is different, it is no longer the baroque color is strong and richly decorated, but delicately decorated, often like to use "c" and "s" or vortex curves, arcs, and often use large mirrors as decoration. Like a beautiful young girl, she loves fancy clothes and food, and the interior is decorated with bright colors and delicate decorations, and the furniture is very delicate and cumbersome.

Gu Yuanxiang followed the professor to carefully admire this palace, it is a beautiful work of art. But if you live here, Gu Yuanxiang feels that it shouldn't be comfortable, such bright colors, so empty, the winter in France is still quite cold, and there is no air conditioning at that time, just rely on the fireplace for heating, it is too cold to think about it. It is not convenient to pursue luxury accommodation here, and the biggest inconvenience is that there are no toilets here, and it is said that the crown prince at that time used to defecate in the fireplace. It's also drunk to think about this scene, which is a huge and beautiful work of art for others to see, not a living quarters for people to live in.

Coming out of the Palace of Versailles, everyone has not yet come out of the exquisite and rich visual feast. Every picture and hall there tells the master's financial resources and the material life of the drunken and money-hungry people. However, they didn't have much time to sigh, and rushed to the next stop, Notre Dame Cathedral.

Many people know that this is from Hugo's novel or the film adaptation, the ugly but beautiful bell-ringer Quasimodo, the story of a completely different world from our lives.

Gothic architectural style, doors and windows protruding upwards, slender spires towering above the sky, carved imaginary monsters, the exterior of Notre Dame Cathedral is close to the golden ratio of horizontal and vertical, making the main façade of the building look very harmonious and wonderful, and the exterior of the building is divided into nine small rectangles with golden ratios, making it a beautiful enjoyment when seen from a distance.

Gu Yuanxiang followed the professor's team, and her charm can be felt everywhere in this building that carries a long history and is all made of stone. The tall and straight style, looking up, you can see the light through the glass of the roof, and the colorful glass figure paintings also stain the light with mysterious colors, as if through this window, everything becomes solemn. The interior of Notre-Dame Cathedral is extremely austere, rigorous and solemn, and the few decorations are very expressive. The decoration here is scarce, and it seems that too much decoration will make it pompous and comical. Gu Yuanxiang thought that in the world of Chinese martial arts, the real masters have always been low-key, and often an inconspicuous passerby character is the real master, and their kung fu returns to the basics without paying attention to whether the moves are gorgeous or not, but they can control the battle situation simply and quickly.

It is full of countless vertical lines, this kind of visual impact that is constantly blessed by its own characteristics attracts people to look up, and the vault dozens of meters high is faintly in the dim light, sparkling, coupled with religious reverie, Gu Yuanxiang feels in a trance that it seems that there is heaven above.

Gu Yuanxiang saw the legendary 13-ton bell of the south bell tower at the top in the main hall, and it is said that the sound of striking the bell is loud and can be heard throughout the city. Gu Yuanxiang learned from the homework done in advance that all the gold and silver added to the materials for the casting of this bell came from the dedication of pious female believers in Paris, she looked at this big bell and imagined how much gold and silver the 13-ton clock would cost, God is really rich. Head north to the top of the bell tower, where there are 387 steps. Gu Yuanxiang and his entourage overlooked the picturesque scenery of Paris in the bell tower, and could see the classical and modern buildings of Europe, and the sightseeing boats carried tourists to the Seine River. It is not only the wind and frost of history, but also the style of the city today.

"Every time I come here, I can feel the breath of history coming from the past, and where I am standing now, there is a story that can change history in a certain historical time. Through the torrent of time, I am standing here at a certain time and place. Sometimes I can feel that there are people here who are telling me stories of the past, Xiangxiang, you say that this is not the power of God. During the free visit, Wu Ziyan sat on the wooden chair of the church, facing the podium, and whispered to Gu Yuanxiang.

"This is the spiritual home, where so many people have prayed, cried, and despaired. How many stomps and stomps make the world follow the trembling heroes to become the masters here. But these masters have been washed away by the torrent of time, only she is still here, and they are all her passers-by. Gu Yuanxiang was here and could understand what Wu Ziyan said, "It's enough to come and feel the power of the Lord when you're okay or mentally exhausted, you are not in the same system as them." Even if you live in France now, it doesn't change the fact that you are from the East, and you have to go back to the temple and ask for a signature. ”

"Don't talk nonsense in the church, offend the gods, beware of going back where you really have a problem." Wu Ziyan pulled Gu Yuanxiang to stop her from continuing to talk nonsense, and she would unconsciously have a sense of mystery and awe in this place.

"Well, Sister Ziyan has also begun to believe in these during her time abroad. Shall we talk about serious and formal topics and go to dinner with us at noon? Gu Yuanxiang asked seriously.

"This is a very important question, eating is definitely a major life event, and we can't eat and drink. Even these Lords, who seem to be kind and do not eat the fireworks of the world, also have to gain strength through the faith of the believers. Gu Yuanxiang glanced at himself elegantly when he saw Wu Ziyan, and continued with a heartfelt voice.

"Didn't I go to the Louvre in the afternoon, of course, to eat with you. Although you can enjoy the free lunch provided by the travel agency for free, it is estimated that you will have to buy a new one. Wu Ziyan saw that if she didn't answer, Gu Yuanxiang would continue to gag, and replied.

"It's afternoon, and I haven't eaten lunch yet, but fortunately I ate a big bowl of fried rice in the morning. Otherwise, if you eat a few slices of bread in the morning, you will be so hungry that you can't walk. Tomorrow we will also go to the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs-Élysées and the Place de la Concorde. The two-day itinerary is still very tight. Gu Yuanxiang touched his stomach and said.

"Tomorrow's itinerary is really close, how did your professor set this route, it's like a trip to shopping." Wu Ziyan said.

"yes, tomorrow will be regarded as shopping, I don't know if the professor will give him time to buy things." Gu Yuanxiang also felt that tomorrow's itinerary could be said to be a shopping itinerary, and this kind of chaotic place must be required by a cooperative tour group to join!

"Let's go out, let's go quickly, don't turn around and get lost." Wu Ziyan saw the professor walking out with her classmates, and pulled Gu Yuanxiang to follow quickly.
