Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1666 The secret words of the goddess (11)

Paris in the 19th century still has traces of medieval Paris. The streets are rugged and not as level as Versailles. It is not easy to sketch on a swaying carriage, but Jacques-Louis David still did it. He used The pencil painted the last portrait of Marie Antoinette, who was heading to Revolution Square in a prison car before his execution. This kind of pure line portrait can be drawn by any artist on the streets of Paris.

Women’s hair is precious. They won’t cut it easily unless there is a special reason, but Marie Antoinette’s hair was cut off at the time. This was to cut off the head smoothly when the guillotine fell. The neck must be exposed on the guillotine, so all hair must be cut above the hairline of the back of the neck.

   Before setting off to the execution ground, Queen Mary’s hair was cut off randomly, and could only be covered with an ugly hat, but there were still some irregular hairs that turned upside-down. This is reflected in David’s sketch.

  In addition to that ugly hat, she was also wearing a plain dress. Even though her figure remained slim and her **** were not drooping, this one was completely different from her gorgeous makeup and noble and gorgeous clothes.

Although Madame Pompidou is the godmother of the Rococo style, no one can better reflect the style of the eighteenth century than Marie Antoinette. This rose born in Austria really bloomed in Versailles. She was just married. When I was a child in France, I sometimes went to the northwest of Place Louis XV to learn how to play the piano and adapt to the life of the French court.

Maybe she gets tired from playing the piano occasionally, and when she becomes unfocused, she looks at the scenery outside through a window, but she probably never dreamed that she would be so embarrassed one day that she would be so embarrassed that she would be sitting in a swaying car with her hands tied back. On his carriage, a painter traced such an ugly look.

  David is good at painting death pictures. He also painted the death of Mara in the Louvre. If he is a policeman, then he is the one holding the camera and taking pictures of the dead.

However, Mary was still alive at the time. Her mouth, which was of great Habsburg family blood, was tightly pressed, and the corners of her mouth were turned downwards, which fully expressed her displeasure. Such a vivid expression would not appear on the face of a dead person. This is indeed the last portrait of Marie Antoinette. When the prisoner wagon arrives at Revolution Square, "Mr. Grey" will send her for the last time. Maybe she really does what the legend says, because she is not careful. After stepping on the executioner's foot and saying sorry, the deficit left by the "deficit queen" will be washed away with her blood.

  Severus looked at the sketch hanging on the wall of the French National Library. It was far less exquisite than other colorful portraits, and even people passing by didn't bother to keep their sights on this sketch.

  Compared with the 1.3 billion military expenditures used by Louis XVI in the War of Independence, how much money could Mary spend on dressing up?

  The War of Independence was actually a continuation of the Seven Years’ War. Louis XVI, who had just ascended the throne, was very ambitious and wanted to restore France’s reputation for defeat and at the same time establish his own prestige. This was the only way to invest regardless of the consequences.

  However, 200 years later, the American people have long forgotten the assistance of France in the War of Independence, thinking that the War of Independence was won by the American founding fathers themselves.

Luxury is bad for the social ethos. One termite can’t eat much, but a group of termites can eat the beams of the house. Later, France encountered a natural disaster, and there was a shortage of food, and a large sum of money was borrowed for disaster relief. It is difficult to say exactly how many models have fallen into the folk after the hand of the moth.

The civilians looked at the unattainable food prices to despair. Rumors began to circulate in the market. When Queen Mary heard that the people could not afford bread, they asked "Why don't they eat cake". This is similar to an emperor in the East. The words are very similar.

  At that time, China was in the period of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the five chaos caused life to be overwhelmed. This was not what Liu Bei's son A Dou said during the Three Kingdoms period.

  In the Enlightenment in the 18th century, Chinese culture played an extremely important position, and many thinkers and economists became interested in "pity peasants".

  In order to make the farmers' lives better, the grain has become free trade, and then it is out of control.

Food is a necessity for everyone, and someone will buy it. A large amount of "living money" enters the food market. This is the same as many "tulip fever". Wherever the "living money" goes, the price of a certain commodity will change. It’s very expensive. This kind of enthusiasm usually blows up a bubble, and the bubble disappears as soon as the living money is pulled away, and the commodity will restore its original price, but the food is different from other commodities.

Early human civilization is divided into farming and nomadism. Farming can obtain stable food. It does not need to live by water and grass like nomads. It spends a lot of time on the road. It has time and sufficient material foundation to develop civilization. Ancient Egypt, India, This is true of China and even the Aztec civilization. These civilizations have left many buildings as proof of their existence. Nomads lack these. Their time is spent more on conquering rather than constructing.

The savage and primitive Mongolians do not mean that their intelligence is low. Europeans have also been savage. Not only did they not take a bath, the table manners were also ugly. At that time, the tip of the knife was not oval as it is now. The reason why it became oval is Because of the Archbishop Richelieu, he really couldn't stand the habit of the nobles to pick their teeth with their dining knives, and ordered the servants to round all the tips of all the dining knives, and then there was a Western-style dining knife.

  There is an oval hall in the French National Library, which was formerly known as the Richelieu Hall.

  Napoleon signed the abdication edict in the White Horse Hall of Fontainebleau, which is also an oval courtyard.

   "Thank you." Severus said, looking at Marie Antoinette's sketch, then turned and walked towards the Oval Hall.

Around the huge oval glass dome are scattered the names of world-renowned cities. One of them is pekin, which originally meant the capital in the north, but the European missionaries translated it directly according to the Latin pronunciation, and its metal nameplate It's right next to Jerusalem, but it's hard to reach from the ground, anyway, it's definitely not reachable by ordinary ladders.

================================================== ============

   Felix, Alessandro and Haji and Mrs. Loris ran to St. Sulpice Square together.

Originally, the distance between them was not far, and it took about ten minutes to run. Alessandro, who had participated in the school football team, and Haji, who had served in the army, could bear it, and Felix was a bit able to run. Out of breath.

  Firstly, he is young, and secondly, he hasn't exercised systematically. He is also the most bees.

  Although his face was swollen, but there was no allergic reaction, Haji didn't care about him, and then Haji asked Alessandro about his next trip.

  "Are you going to leave now?" Haji asked.

  Alessandro looked around, then looked at his watch.

   "We have to hurry up." Alessandro put down his wrists, "I'm going to the parking lot to search."

  "I think we should investigate it first before talking." Haji said, "It's like we did in the Place de la Concorde."

  "There are only four old people in this fountain. What can I study?" Alessandro asked.

   "Let's take a look first anyway." Haji said helplessly, "Maybe we can find any clues."

   "I'll go to the church and have a look." Alessandro said, and then walked towards the church east of the fountain.
