After Mario left, Xia Yunjie left the hotel alone and had nothing to do.

Walking alone on the streets of Rome, the rows of majestic buildings and statues everywhere made Xia Yunjie clearly feel the thick and vicissitudes of history.

He spent two days in Rome, went to the world-famous Colosseum, went to the Pantheon, went to St. Peter's Basilica, went to the Vatican Museums......

On the morning of the third day, Xia Yunjie left the Grand Hotel in Braze with his suitcase, wearing a white T-shirt and slacks that Scola had designed for him.

It has to be said that Scola is indeed a veritable master of fashion. The clothes are not only the right size, but also very in line with Xia Yunjie's temperament, with a hint of free and easy detachment in the plain.

The second stop Xia Yunjie went to Florence, last night he calculated a hexagram, although the hexagram is still very vague, but faintly pointed to the north of Italy.

Florence is as poetic as its name suggests, and it is not only the capital of Tuscany under the sun, but also the birthplace and center of the Renaissance.

Xia Yunjie had heard the name of Florence early on when he was studying, and since the hexagram faintly pointed to the north, Xia Yunjie simply chose Florence as the second stop of his trip to Italy.

Termini is the largest railway station in Rome and almost all trains pass through it, and trains to Florence are no exception.

It is said to be the largest railway station in Rome, but in fact, it is still a lot smaller than Shanghai and Beijing. Xia Yunjie took a taxi to the Termini Railway Station, there were many people in the station, and many of the signs were written in Italian, so Xia Yunjie couldn't tell the difference.

Xia Yunjie saw that there was a row of windows, and there were people queuing, so he estimated that it should be the place to buy tickets, so he went to queue. When he was in the middle of the line, a relatively thin foreigner came over and asked Xia Yunjie if he was buying a ticket while gesturing in rather broken English.

Xia Yunjie thought that the foreigner was enthusiastic at first, and when he saw that he was an oriental face, he came to greet him, but when he saw that his face and eyes were not the same, he couldn't help but feel a little curious, nodded and replied in English: "Yes, I want to go to Florence." ”

The foreigner was "enthusiastic" and said while gesturing and asking Xia Yunjie to go with him.

Xia Yunjie followed the foreigner, and came to a ticket vending machine without walking for a while, Xia Yunjie learned that there are also automatic ticket machines here.

At this time, the foreigner asked Xia Yunjie how many tickets to Florence he wanted to buy, Xia Yunjie said one, he turned to the machine for a while, and then pointed to the time and price displayed on the screen, and asked Xia Yunjie to give him money, which required thirty-six euros.

Xia Yunjie gave him a fifty yuan, and he stuffed it into the banknote. After a while, the ticket was printed, and the foreigner gave the ticket to Xia Yunjie, and took the fourteen yuan of change he found, and he didn't have any intention of returning it to Xia Yunjie.

Although Italy is a developed country in Europe, its per capita income is not high, and the monthly income of ordinary people is only about one or two thousand euros, of course, it is quite high when converted into RMB. In any case, 14 euros, not to mention the conversion into RMB, is already more than 100 yuan, even compared to the Italians, it is a "considerable" amount of money. Tips in restaurants are usually only two or three euros. The foreigner didn't explain it in advance, so he just helped Xia Yunjie buy a train ticket at the ticket vending machine, and he wanted to take away fourteen euros, Xia Yunjie was naturally a little unhappy.

If this foreigner only takes one or two euros, Xia Yunjie will not calculate with him, they are all out to beg for a living, although they did not explain in advance that the means are more despicable, but they can also understand, but all of a sudden they will take fourteen euros, although Xia Yunjie is not short of money, but he does not want them to think that the Chinese are easy to bully and deceive.

"Don't you think you're too greedy, sir?" Xia Yunjie looked at the foreigner.

The foreigner probably saw Xia Yunjie's young face and was alone, and when he heard this, not only did he not plan to pay him back, but pointed to the ticket in Xia Yunjie's hand, chattered, and even glared at him.

Seeing this, Xia Yunjie shook his head and said in English: "Sir, I originally wanted to leave you a euro or two, but your attitude really made me angry, so not only did I not give you a penny, but I also wanted to teach you a lesson." Remember that I am Chinese, and it is better not to make them angry when you meet Chinese in the future, sometimes they look much more terrible than they seem. ”

As Xia Yunjie spoke, he reached out and took the money in the foreigner's hand directly, while the foreigner looked at Xia Yunjie in horror, because he found that he couldn't move, and he couldn't even speak.

After taking the ticket and taking the money, Xia Yunjie saw that the train was about to leave in about ten minutes, and confirmed from the screen that the train to Florence was on platform eight, so he walked straight towards platform eight, and at this time, the foreigner was still standing dumbfounded, so that people passing by looked at him with strange eyes from time to time.

The train to Florence is a bullet train, but it is much older than the Chinese Harmony bullet train.

The train didn't run for long, and the conductor came to check the ticket, Xia Yunjie saw a young man get up and hide in the toilet, obviously although Italy is also a developed country in Europe, some behaviors in this country are really incommensurate with developed countries in Europe.

About three hours later, the train arrived in Florence.

Although Florence is the capital of Tuscany and the birthplace and center of the world-famous Renaissance, the city is really not big, especially compared to the cities of China with a population of more than one million.

Florence is a small city with a population of less than 400,000 and is a half-hour walk from one attraction to another. The sights of the entire city are divided in two by the Arno River. On one side, from the train station of Santa Maria Novella, there are the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the Baptistery, the Basilica of Santa Croce, the Uffizi Gallery, the Accademia Gallery, the Medici Villa, etc., and on the other side of the river are the Pitti Palace and the Boboli Gardens.

Xia Yunjie got off the train at the New Lady Railway Station. In view of the fact that he couldn't even report the name of the hotel last time he took a taxi, Xia Yunjie did his homework this time when he came to Florence, not only checked some information about Florence in advance, but also specially booked the hotel online.

Because I checked on the Internet, I saw many people saying that the Italian family hotel is good, not only clean and hygienic, low price, but also has a kind of homely warmth, so Xia Yunjie specially booked a family hotel near the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.

Because the city of Florence is very small, and the train station is very close to the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, Xia Yunjie did not take a taxi after getting off the train, and walked directly to the direction of Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral with his suitcase.

Directly across from the train station is the Cathedral of Santa Maria Novella, a cathedral made of khaki bricks that looks old and majestic, but also very clean. There are tourists outside to pay respects, there are also people who go in to visit, everything is in order, this is not like the country, as long as it is a scenic spot, it is crowded with people, bustling, so that people have not gone in before the head is already half bigger.

Walking in front of the Cathedral of Santa Maria Novella, passing through several pedestrian streets that are full of historical vicissitudes but are exceptionally quiet and leisurely, Xia Yunjie felt that his eyes suddenly lit up.

In front of it is a square, bordered by a number of coffee shops, merchandise shops and inns, among which are several imposing old buildings decorated with marble of green, white and red.

Xia Yunjie knew that this should be the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Hundred Flowers, the Baptistery and Giotto's Bell Tower, and the hotel he booked was near here.

Xia Yunjie searched all the way according to the name and house number of the hotel he had booked, and finally found the house number and an inconspicuous sign with the name of the hotel written on it.

After finding it, Xia Yunjie couldn't help but be surprised, because in China, even if it is a family hotel, the door is generally open below, and there is a reception desk, but the family hotel here, not only has no façade at all, but also the door is closed when Xia Yunjie arrives.

After pressing the doorbell and confirming the identity of a woman inside through the doorbell intercom, the door clicked open, apparently electrically controlled.

Xia Yunjie pushed the door and entered, and directly opposite him was a long staircase, the staircase was made of stone, which looked a little old, but it was spotless and very clean.

Xia Yunjie walked down the stairs according to what he said in the call just now, and walked all the way to the first floor of the Italian population and the second floor of the Chinese people.

There are also third and fourth floors above the second floor. Turning into the second floor, you will find a very compact two-story guest room with a common hallway and living room. But this public space is very warm and exquisitely furnished, with not only beautifully colored fabric sofas, but also two wooden antique tables with some beautiful flowers, beautiful crystal plates with sweets, and antique lamps with soft lighting.

Although Xia Yunjie has not met the owner of the hotel and has not entered his room, he has already experienced a feeling that is very different from staying in a star-rated hotel.

Clean, warm, away from the commercial atmosphere, there is really a feeling of returning to your own home, and even looking at the candy blooming with attractive colors under the lights, it is not difficult for Xia Yunjie to imagine that if you come here with children, children will definitely like it here.

The people inside obviously heard Xia Yunjie's footsteps, and when Xia Yunjie had just walked to the second floor, before he had time to admire the decoration, a blonde woman came out from behind a partition wall in the common living room.

This is an Italian woman in her mid-thirties, with a big body ****** like most female foreigners.

It's summer, it's the hottest time of the year, and foreigners are dressed more openly, and this proprietress is no exception. Two of the thin shirt buttons were loosened, exaggeratedly revealing most of the snow-white meat balls and a deep cleavage, as if the pair of breasts had burst the buttons of the shirt, which made people reverie infinitely. The lower body is a black skirt, revealing a large section of snow-white plump thighs, and the buttocks are also wrapped in a round bulge. But the face of the proprietress is like that of most Italian women, with well-defined lines and a high nose bridge, but it does not look fat at all.
