Accompany Da Vinci's Super God Day

When Heidi saw the pair of rabbits, she subconsciously reached out and hugged them.

"Okay - so cute!"

She has been nervous for too long recently, and when she really met this soft white guy, she laughed before she hugged her.

Da Vinci leaned against the door, watched her rub the heads of the two little guys, and said with a smile: "The nearby farmer just gave birth to a litter, and gave me two."

"Then, where do I keep them?" Heidi even wanted to give them a bath and then keep them in her own house: "It's really cute, it's only been born for a month or two?"

"In the yard?" Leonardo da Vinci pondered: "Botticelli and I often go there to paint, and I can feed them for you if you have nothing to do."

"Okay." Heidi's smiling eyes were curved, and her light blue pupils were shining brightly: "I'll leave it to you."

Da Vinci looked around to see if anyone was around, then lowered his voice and asked, "Are you... are you used to living here?"

"Hey?"

"I'm sorry for involving you, and I'm thinking about being too irresponsible during this time." Da Vinci took a deep breath: "If you feel depressed in the palace, or want to leave here early, my friend I can take you to Venice, or somewhere further afield."

Heidi looked at him, quite surprised.

Her former employer, despite stealing autopsies or quietly digging at Mr. Bucket, had always been kind.

"Actually, I think there will be danger wherever I go." She showed a relieved smile: "Here, at least there are a few friends like you."

"That's right." Da Vinci heard footsteps in the distance, and carefully took the two little rabbits: "Then, come to me anytime if you have any questions—be careful in the palace, and don't offend those bad-tempered guys." .”

Heidi smiled and waved, watching him go downstairs quickly.

After a while, De Qiao went upstairs with the clay pot in his arms. Seeing her leaning against the door frame in a good mood, he asked curiously.

"You look fine today."

"Yeah." Heidi reached out to help her get things, and said briskly, "I'll go out by myself later, and I'll be back soon."

She didn't expect that Medici would be so generous to herself.

He was really rewarded with too many gold coins before, even if he fell on the bed, he was quite shocked.

These days, Heidi has shifted the position of the ornaments again at the bottom of bridges, the roots of olive trees, and various places where there are few people and high concealment.

She sold a ring before, in order to have some money on hand temporarily, in case she needed it from time to time.

That diamond ring was exchanged for five gold coins in the black market, and after thinking about it, it was still a loss.

—Better redeem it quickly and put it somewhere else.

The reason why he didn't redeem it before was because he didn't gain a firm foothold in the lord's palace, and secondly, he really didn't have the confidence.

Fortunately, the lord's wages are paid on time, and she has too much money now.

Heidi walked through the crowd, listening to the flute players rehearsing the Easter program, and the poet standing on the street reciting his works aloud.

Children were chasing and playing, and many women were busy drying noodles.

She looked around, thinking of other things.

Do I... want to prepare a house for myself?

The gold coins she has on hand are enough to accommodate a residence.

But as soon as this idea appeared, it was immediately dispelled.

The falcon-like eyes of Lorenzo Medici appeared in her mind almost instantly.

In case the lord became suspicious and went in to search and investigate while he was away, I'm afraid it would be a trouble.

A city with a shrewd lord will definitely receive comprehensive protection.

Unfortunately, too much insight is not a good thing.

She is now isolated and helpless, without family and brothers, and it is indeed difficult for her to gain a foothold.

A thought popped in again.

Maybe... I should marry Mr. Arecio.

Marriage would provide her with a legal and legitimate identity, and men and relatives would shelter her property.

Heidi shook her head, but still dismissed the idea.

Still not.

While thinking wildly, she walked into the tavern.

Black market merchants will not only trade some long sword jewelry, but also sell all kinds of weird things.

Some women in the neighborhood would go to him to buy some strange-colored stones, saying that they could protect people from illness and disaster.

"Hi..." She straightened her clothes, sat next to him and said in a low voice, "I want to redeem my ring."

The old man was drinking ale, and when he heard the voice, he realized it was her, and suddenly put on an impatient gesture, and quickly waved away: "No! Go away! I haven't heard of any rings!"

Heidi froze for a moment, then tried to turn around and said, "Can I pay more? Don't rush—"

"I really don't know what rings are not rings, women don't come to this kind of place casually!" The old man even shrank back a little, and shouted like trying to repel flies: "Let's go, let's go!"

Why is he like this?

Heidi was planning to be blackmailed, and brought a lot of gold coins, but this time she really felt a little empty.

She originally exchanged some cash temporarily to keep herself safe, but now that she really heard that the ring was gone, she felt a little regretful.

After all... It is also the few connections left between me and my previous life.

Easter is coming soon.

Since the sixth century AD, people will wear various antique robes and costumes to hold processions and celebrations at the church door.

Not only many Persian merchants will come in to do business, but also many gypsies who can tell fortunes and sell strange things will also emerge.

Not only that, people will boil eggs and paint them red together to represent the mythical swan weeping blood.Little ones tend to have plenty of toys and rewards to spend the day in the middle of a rowdy crowd.

The grandest public event is the Easter Explosion Carriage.

A carriage full of fireworks and salutes will be installed in front of the church in the shape of a rotatable pyramid.

And the Bishop pressed the mechanism, let the mechanical pigeon rush into the fireworks salute, ignited the entire carriage, and let it spin and explode.

If the dove hits the carriage and blows up all the fireworks inside, it means that Florence will usher in a good harvest and good luck in the new year.

As the Medici family has celebrated celebrations and festivals in recent years, more trade and gatherings have also been launched, and people from several nearby city-states will come to watch and have fun.

When Heidi followed Da Vinci to the square to watch the excitement, she also saw strong men holding up orange trees to compete for strength, and many people beside them were applauding.

Many nobles in the palace have special viewing stands, and all of them hold their lupines lightly and gracefully.

The cooks and maids gathered in the crowd to watch after they finished their work. The whole square was as lively as a garden party.

Too many musical instruments are mixed together, and various languages ​​​​are messed up and can't be heard clearly.

Heidi stood beside Da Vinci and looked around, thinking about buying a crystal ball and going back to have a look.

She turned her head and found that Da Vinci was not playing and laughing, but was writing and drawing quickly with his notebook in his hands.

"Mr. Da Vinci?"

"It's Leonardo."

"Leo—what are you doing?"

He tilted his body slightly so that she could see clearly.

Da Vinci has a habit of carrying a notebook with him anytime and anywhere.

The little notebook usually hangs on his belt, and when it is full, it will be replaced with a new one.

Heidi, though curious, had never seen this before.

She leaned over to take a look, and found that she was actually drawing a sketch.

"I'm looking at the scattering of light." The voice outside was too noisy, and he could only lean into her ear and explain: "Because the doctor came to worship that painting, I couldn't continue to draw it—"

Several beams of light are projected on the crowd, and the silhouettes reflected are completely different.

Various parts such as the head and shoulders of a person, as well as the texture of the clothes worn, and the smoothness of the hair, all allow light to refract and change in intensity.

Even if you just shine a beam of light on the plaster statue, the light from the bridge of the nose to the lips is both regular and irregular.

Da Vinci didn't have the heart to look at the screaming and spinning fireworks in the sky, but hurriedly marked everything he saw.

What will a ray of light pass through, whether it will be blurred or become obvious, or what color will the white light be when it hits the red clothes——

He writes at the speed of a stenographer in a court, and even marks many details clearly.

Heidi stood beside him, helping to block other drunks and thieves, subconsciously looking at the Medici family on the viewing platform.

A total of five children were present, and the lord's wife was talking and laughing with the female relatives.

Mr. Medici looks approachable and gentle, but she is too familiar with that smile——

Politicians all raise the corners of their lips in this official way.

The celebration of Easter will last for several days, and in the evening, many people are drinking and having fun.

Heidi finally lost interest after watching the excitement for two or three days, and continued to stay in the room observing the glass dish and reviewing her not-so-proficient Italian.

To be able to write fluent articles, you must make full preparations and don't slack off.

De Qiao brought her orange juice as usual, but was suddenly stopped when he left.

"What happened to your elbow?"

The maid was quite surprised, obviously she didn't expect her to care about herself.

Heidi leaned over to take a look, and found a long scar: "What's going on here?"

"I can't see clearly at night." The maid replied truthfully, "This is when I was walking at night, and I was hung on a nail."

...Night blindness?

Heidi froze for a moment, and went to observe her skin and eyes.

The skin is dry, his face is a little pale, and his condition is not very good.

"It's an old problem, you don't need to worry about it." De Qiao was rarely cared about like this, and he stuttered a little: "My family can't see clearly at night."

"...Carrots can solve this problem." She suddenly said: "There are also animal livers."

So I really went to squeeze the carrot juice and handed it to her to drink it all.

After half a month like this, Dejo's eyes and skin are much better.

The maid never imagined that she would be treated so kindly.

Both of them are well aware that each other is the relationship between the monitor and the monitored.

But even so, that alchemist would take care of himself like this...

"You must remember to stay away from Mr. Botticelli." Dejo found a day and told her about it solemnly.

"Too many girls fell in love with him involuntarily, and they all broke their hearts in the end."

Heidi blinked, feeling that the maid might have misunderstood something.

The reason why she went to the backyard more frequently recently... is actually to see the pair of little rabbits.

"...Why?" She still asked.

The maid hesitated for a long time, but still told the only information she knew.

"Both he and Mr. Lorenzo once loved a lady deeply."

"Now, she has been dead for many years."

How Italians Celebrate Easter

Author: unknown

Easter, also known as "The Lord's Resurrection Day", is a festival with a very long history in the Western world. It commemorates the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day after his execution.In Italy, there are holidays every year when Easter comes. So how do Italians celebrate Easter and what activities are there in various places? Let the old almanac introduce you.

How Italians Celebrate Easter

For Italians, Easter is not just sitting together to eat and drink, family outings, exchanging chocolate eggs between relatives and friends, and wonderful Easter celebrations around the world that cannot be missed.

devil dance

In Prizzi, near the city of Palermo in Sicily, two figures with red fang masks and a yellow coat with a crossbow appear on Easter morning, representing the devil.The demons are teasing people in the streets and alleys of the town. Only by donating money or candy can they get rid of the entanglement.

In the afternoon, a rally is held in the square, and demons start to make trouble.The angel guarding the statue of Jesus Christ dances with the devil in a rhythmic dance known as the Demon Dance.Recreating the classic scene where the devil tries to prevent the resurrected Jesus from meeting the Virgin Mary, expressing the theme of the eternal struggle between good and evil.

The "Devil Dance" event attracts a large number of tourists every year. The streets are crowded with people, and the people who can participate in the Demon Dance performance every year are not randomly selected. The performers are representatives of outstanding citizens in the town.

roll cheese

Rolling cheese is a traditional game called "RuzzolaoRuzzolone" in Italian. Areas such as Kai, Lazio and Campania are thriving.

The traditional cheese rolling rules are more complicated, with a scoring system, including straight lines, curves, obstacles, relays, etc.And now the Easter cheese rolls in many towns are simplified competitions, where a string is wrapped around hard feta cheese and thrown to see whose cheese rolls the farthest.This is a contest of skill and strength, and a strong player can make the cheese bend along the road without falling.Sometimes the audience will place a bet, and the game is full of gunpowder.

Orange Tree Hercules

In the Sicilian coastal city of Terrasini, the annual Easter celebration called "Lafestadilischietti" is a competition for bachelors.The men of the town would take turns holding up a freshly felled orange tree and displaying their boyfriend power under a structure called a "lover's balcony."

The orange tree, which weighs about 50 kilograms, is carefully decorated and handed over to the Hercules.Participants must lift with one arm, and whoever can hold it the longest wins the title.Some strongmen will also show off their skills and win the applause of the audience by spinning orange trees.

Egg "Olympic"

Eggs are the centerpiece of Easter, and in the villages and towns near Tredozio in Emilia-Romagna, a series of contests (Paliodell'uovo) are held around them.First held in 1964, this event is a very young tradition.

The egg "Olympiad" event is played on Easter Sunday morning for men and in the afternoon for women.Projects include time-limited competitions to find eggs hidden in haystacks, egg throwing competitions, egg cross-country competitions, and the most watched egg eating competition. The 2016 champion ate 3 eggs in one go within 22 minutes.

fried wagon

During Easter, the annual Loscoppio del Carro ceremony takes place in front of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence.The ritual dates back to the Crusades, when a dove hits a chariot to predict a good harvest for the coming year.If all the firecrackers go off, it heralds good luck and a good harvest for Florence.

On the morning of Easter, the 9-meter-high car was dragged by several big white cows to the door of the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore.At 11:[-] noon, accompanied by Giotto's bell, the mechanical pigeon will fly out of the altar to trigger the mechanism of the carriage, and the fireworks will be everywhere for a while, which is very exciting.
