Comprehensive Victoria's Secret

Chapter 62 Mysterious Woman

When Elizabeth and Antonio arrived in Venice the weather was fine.

Venice used to be the center of the Republic of Venice, known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic Sea". The Crusaders gathered here during the Crusades, and it was also a very important commercial art center from the 13th century to the end of the 17th century. One of the most romantic cities in the world.

Venice, located in the northeast of Italy, is a world-famous water town and a famous historical and cultural city in Italy.There are many historic sites in the city, including more than [-] churches, bell towers, monasteries and palaces for men and women.The Great Waterway is the longest street that runs through the whole city of Venice. It divides the city into two parts. Sightseeing along the waterway is one of the best ways to visit the scenery of Venice. There are many famous buildings on both sides of the river, full of writers, painters, musicians footprints of home.St. Mark's Square is the central square of Venice. The St. Mark's Church on the east side of the square is majestic and magnificent.The Doge's Palace is the official residence of the former Governor of Venice. All the halls are decorated with oil paintings, murals and marble carvings, which are very luxurious.The Bridge of Sighs behind the Governor's Palace is the only bridge for convicted prisoners to go to the prison. Prisoners often repent and sigh when crossing the bridge, hence the name "Bridge of Sighs".

Antonio brought her here. He lived in Italy since he was a child, and he is proficient in Italian.The two rented a gondola and rowed all the way.

He told Elizabeth: "After the prisoner is tried in the Governor's Palace, the felon is taken to the dungeon, where he may die forever. In the past, the death row prisoner had to pass through this airtight bridge when going to the execution ground. Looking at the blue sky from the window, thinking of my family members waiting on the boat under the bridge to say goodbye, I have mixed feelings in my heart, and I sigh involuntarily——if I move forward, I will say goodbye to everything in the world.”

Elizabeth raised her head and glanced at him: "Are you sure our honeymoon is going to start in such an inauspicious place?"

"According to legend, lovers who kiss under the bridge will last forever." Antonio put his arms around her and kissed her lips.

As the sun was setting, the two hugged each other under the bridge and kissed deeply.The sun was coming from the west, casting two long shadows on the boat.

It was a long time before they let each other go.

"Let's go back to the hotel."

One of the advantages of having a powerful father is that the accommodation after arriving in Venice has been arranged, in a hotel near the Grand Canal.It is said that this is Henry Lancaster's relationship.

The biggest advantage of the honeymoon is that although everything is inseparable from the arrangements of their parents, they usually spend their time happily in the world of two.

When Elizabeth returned to the room, she was a little dazed when she saw the heart shape made of rose petals on the bed: "..."

Antonio probably saw it too, but he didn't say anything. He kissed Elizabeth's forehead: "Honey, take a shower first, I'll go out for a while, and I'll be back later."

"Yeah." Elizabeth couldn't help but feel ashamed. It's still early, and Antonio said before that he would go on a night tour of Venice with her. What's there to take a shower?

But the night view of Venice is really good. Elizabeth didn't change her clothes, she untied her hair and let her red hair spread out.

She has always disliked wearing heavy jewelry, and this time she was traveling, she didn't bring anything except the wedding ring and some necessary jewelry. She kicked off her shoes and waited for Antonio to come back and call her.

All sharpshooters have good eyesight, and Elizabeth saw a familiar figure in the night that had just darkened in Venice.

She jumped off the bed barefoot and looked out the window carefully.

There are still some candles, oil lamps and gas lamps in the street, plus the reflection of the canal.

The house is facing the water, but there is a bridge nearby, and Elizabeth sees Antonio...and a...woman on a gondola.

That's right, it was a woman. From Elizabeth's eyes, the night could already see the high heels on her feet and her slim figure.

She hid behind the curtain and looked in that direction cautiously——Antonio had eagle eyes, and she didn't want to be discovered by him.

Elizabeth saw from a distance that the woman had long brown hair and a black dress. What made Elizabeth even more surprised was that Antonio's attitude towards her had a natural intimacy.

Finally, the woman gave him a soft kiss on the cheek before he jumped ashore and the woman departed in a gondola.

Elizabeth turned her back to the window, not knowing what it was like.

Then she heard the sound of going upstairs, and immediately sat back on the bed and poured a cup of hot milk from the table.

Antonio took the key and opened the door: "Liz, what do you want to eat?"

"have what?"

"Italian risotto. In addition, vinegared sardines, tomato stuffing, clam pasta are all famous, and the wine here is also very good, the most famous are Valpolicella and Bardolli red wine and Soave white wine." Antonio deserves to consider himself an Italian and knows this place very well.

Elizabeth smiled at him: "I want something sweet."

"It's okay." After Antonio finished speaking, he gave a few instructions to the waiter in Italian, and Elizabeth's uneasiness became more serious.

She doesn't understand at all...

When the last supper was brought to the room, it was very rich, with Soave white wine, sardines in vinegar, and of course quite a lot of sweets.

Both Italy and France probably have a sweet tooth because they are romantic countries.

"This one is called Cannolo, a traditional pastry from the Sicily region. Its name comes from the Latin word 'Canna', literally translated as 'stalks of 'reeds, sugar cane and bamboo' and was originally a seasonal pastry made to celebrate Carnival Snack." Antonio took a piece to feed her, this kind of couple's snack time, if you eat it by yourself, it is absolutely incomprehensible.

"This is called Cantuccini, a traditional pastry born in the Tuscany region of Italy in the Middle Ages. It is an almond-flavored hard biscuit made of various dried fruits or nuts. It is crispy and crispy from the inside to the outside. Because When the biscuit is bitten off, it makes a tiny "crack" sound, so the name refers to the word 'Cantocci' which means "weak singing" in Italian. Dip it in after-dinner wine or coffee Take it out after soaking it until soft." Antonio said: "This is also my mother's favorite sweet, because Monteriggioni is a town in the province of Siena in the Tuscany region of central Italy. Since the 14th century Early on, Monteriggioni began to serve as the headquarters of the Italian Assassins."

"Yeah." Elizabeth obediently took bites of desserts: "After dinner, shall we go out to play?"

"Yes, if you are not afraid of falling into the river." Antonio joked.

"It doesn't matter if you fall into the river, you will fish me up, right?"

"Yes, I will."

"Come on, try this, it shouldn't be difficult for me to step on this to learn, Zuccotto, native to the Tuscany region of Italy, with a half dome-shaped pound cake, its name comes from the Tuscan dialect "Zucchetto" , which means "the little round hat worn by the clergy". I think it should be no different from a pound cake."

After feeding each other dinner, Elizabeth suddenly had a whim: "Tony, what do you think of us going out with some snacks?"

Well, shopping together at night, you feed me snacks one bite at a time... It's also a way to abuse dogs.

"Hmm...Let's think about it, what kind of snacks are better to take away...Well, Amaretti..."

"What is that? Also known as biscottiamaretti, it is a very sweet Italian pastry and one of the traditional Western pastries. Because the ingredients are a large amount of fine granulated sugar and almond powder in a light shape, rather than adding Pastry-weight wheat flour, so it has a wonderful texture that is lighter and crunchier than a cookie. And finger biscuits..."

Elizabeth raised her forehead and couldn't help but complain: "You insist on telling me all this because you plan to do it for you at home after I learn it?"

"Yeah, we'll save money then."

Elizabeth gave him a white look: "Bad guy."

Venice was only incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, so people here still have memories of the original.

Elizabeth followed Antonio across the bridge.

"The most famous bridge here is the Liard Bridge, which is the one in front." Antonio told her, "This is the one written in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice."

The Liard Bridge is a single-hole arch bridge made of marble.Elizabeth looked at it from a distance, but she couldn't see anything clearly.

Elizabeth laughed again: "Didn't you say you don't like Shakespeare?"

"Well... while writing your letter and wedding invitations, I had to look at some... If you like him, there's a lot you can see in Italy."

"Verona, Italy is the hometown of Romeo and Juliet." After Antonio said a word, he stopped saying: "They are the same, they come from a feuding family."

"And yet we're happy to be together instead of having to stab ourselves with a dagger."

Antonio put the topic aside, and looked around with emotion: "A long time ago, my ancestor, Ezio Auditore, sneaked into the Venice Carnival to kill a doge...Those are things in the past. "

Elizabeth recalled a bit!right!That is Uncle E's CG!

"You are no longer an assassin." Elizabeth smiled at him again.

"Yeah, I'm no longer an assassin."

Elizabeth took a biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth: "Well, honeymoon is not for being sentimental."
