Chapter 214 Monet's Garden

 This person came later, and I regretted seeing the model come out.

"Fortunately, there are still classes on Thursday."

A student who was still sorting out his painting supplies said after hearing this: "Oh, by the way, the teacher asked us to help inform you that those who did not come to this class will not come to the next class."

"Really? I suspect you are lying to me."

The last girl to go out commented: "No man is good."

Chen Xing was in awe, as if he had returned to China.

However, this young lady may not have deliberately fired the map cannon. After all, the student who spoke was the one who ran in last. Looking at the way he was panting when he entered, it was clear that he came to the classroom after receiving the message.
p>

Therefore, Chen Xing also despised Lao Se Pi.

We eight honest people are ashamed to be in your company.

I took another photography class in the afternoon and returned to the dormitory at around three o'clock.

Not long after, Hedwig also came back, looking much cheerfuler than before?

Just like what Chen Xing said this morning, some people really don’t know how beautiful they are. This sentence is not only for Shah Rukh, but also for Hedwig.

She is probably the same as Chen Xing when she was young, not very attractive but slowly becoming more beautiful after the age of 15.

The difference is that when Chen Xing was young, he was outgoing and the king of children, while Hedwig may have been isolated and bullied, resulting in a withdrawn personality. Even when she grows up, she doesn't know how beautiful she is.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing felt that he had done a good thing.

"How was it at school today? Did you impress the boys in your class?"

Seeing that Chen Xing was the only one in the living room, Hedwig nodded a little sheepishly and said, "Well, they will come to chat with me. I'm... a little nervous."

Chan

>

Her room was not tidied yesterday, and she could have refused Chen Xing to enter her room, but she kept a tangled attitude until Chen Xing saw her room. Chen Xing really never expected that such a character would appear in the United States.<

/p>

In his impression, girls in America should all be outgoing and open-minded in character.

It’s really strange that such a rogue and domineering country can still produce people like Hedwig.

Hedwig sat over, not daring to meet Chen Xing's eyes, and said, "I'm afraid of rejecting others."

"Don't be afraid, the standard of growth is to not feel any guilt after rejecting others."

This is Chen Xing’s realization after entering society for a period of time.

If you travel for a long time, you will find multiple disadvantaged group organizations wandering around the country at various stations. They will try their best to get you to do some charity and donate some money, or there are many mothers and daughters who have no money to take the subway and ask for it.

I want to ask you for meal money even though I have subway fare.

If you don't know how to refuse, the travel expenses of 100,000 yuan will be used up soon.

After chatting for a while, Chen Xing was about to go back to his room to play games, so he said: "Okay, you can call me if you need anything in the future. Our school is very close, so I can get there soon.

I'm going back to my room first."

Hedwig nodded.

Chen Xing joked: "If you shake your head, then I can sit with you for a while longer."

Hedwig instantly became an ostrich.

Chen Xing's smile faded.

Boring.

………………

Time flies so fast and another weekend is coming.

There was only one professional class on the history of photography on Friday. Chen Xing was not interested in this class, so he took leave with Professor Nobel and planned to visit the cities around Paris to take some pictures and relax.

Professor Nobel happily approved the fake.

Compared to the commercial photography for which Chen Xing became famous in France, he hoped that Chen Xing would focus on landscape photography.

There is a chain of contempt in the photography circle. Those who take documentary photos look down on those who take landscape photos, those who take landscape photos look down on those who take portraits, and finally everyone despises those who take photos of flowers and birds.

Professor Nobel is now making documentaries, but he used to be a landscape photographer. His most expensive photo has been widely circulated, and he collected more than 10 million US dollars in copyright fees alone. Almost everyone in the school knows about it.<

/p>

Chen Xing found the backpack that had been kept in the suitcase for a long time and contained only one set of clothes.

He only goes out for two or three days, and one set is enough.

If there are other things to delay, or if the clothes are dirty and need to be changed, Chen Xing is more likely to buy locally.

You must bring a camera.

Then there are a lot of charging cables, but they are empty in the backpack. This time I brought too few things. He has never done such a short trip of only two or three days before. Finally, there is mouthwash and hair wax.

Little things like that.

When he went downstairs, he met Aunt Lizi watering the flowers. Chen Xing said, "Aunt Lizi, I'm going out to play for a few days."

"That's great. Any place in France is more beautiful than Paris. Where are you going?"

"Giverny."

This is a small town with only more than 500 people. It is located in the Upper Normandy Province, 70 kilometers due west of Paris, on a hillside in the Seine Valley. This is a very famous attraction in France. It has the father of French Impressionism, Claude.

Monet's former residence and the beautiful Monet Garden.

Monet's garden is where he created his series of masterpieces "Water Lilies".

Chen Xing doesn't like this subject, but since it is the former residence of an idol, Chen Xing must go on a trip.

"Giverny, it is a great place to travel. I wish you a happy trip and pay attention to safety."

After bidding farewell to Aunt Lizi, Chen Xing walked to the subway station.

Giverny is located between Paris and Rouen. There is no direct train, so you have to transfer at a place called Vernon Station first, and then take a bus there. The whole journey does not cost much. Chen Xing has a monthly pass for the Paris Metro. Vernon

The bus ticket from Nong to Giverny only costs five euros.

But it’s also because it’s very close, so if you don’t want to spend the five dollars, it won’t take long to walk.

The whole journey took two hours.

Chen Xing has a lot of imagination about this kind of French classical town.

In addition to spending time in the big city of Paris, he had also spent some time in Nice in the south of France. There are still many ancient cities around Nice, but the architectural style there is actually more of an ancient Roman style, which is more tough.

, which is naturally different from the French style.

But no matter how much you imagine, it’s still not as good as seeing it.

Chen Xing got off the car at the parking lot. The parking lot in Giverny was built at the entrance of the town, surrounded by lush woods and green pastures. In front of the village is a slightly sloping open land that extends to the Seine River.

Cars of various styles and colors are parked neatly in this parking lot.

Comparable to the splendor of popular domestic attractions.

It looks like there are a lot of people.

Chen Xing walked out of the parking lot smelling the fresh air.

Compared to Paris, the air in Giverny can really be said to be sweeter. The large number of green plants can not only soothe your vision and body and mind, but they can also cleanse your lungs.

As soon as I walked out of the parking lot, I saw a van that had been converted into an ice cream truck. There was a window behind the van.

Many people who have just walked out of the parking lot are queuing up here.

Chen Xing didn't feel hot, but he was greedy, so he queued up to buy one because it was still early.

It is rare to see a person eating and walking on the streets of Paris. If an ice cream merchant does business in Paris, he will definitely go bankrupt if he does not find the right place.

But here, people seem to be more relaxed.

Further ahead, there is a cafe hidden in the garden.

In fact, this cafe is open-air, but if you don't pay attention, you will easily walk directly from the front road, and then be blocked by the garden walls on both sides, so you can't see the inside.

Chen Xing heard a lot of people talking in the yard here and stepped back, only then did he realize.

The floor of the Old Town of Nice is made of a whole piece of marble, which is stuck to the ground like ceramic tiles. Marble is relatively resistant to time, so even in modern times, the roads in the Old Town of Nice are still smooth without too many potholes.

The ground in Giverny, at least from the parking lot to here, is cement, but the courtyard where the cafe is located is gravel.

The stones are very fine, without any sharp edges and corners, and are firmly held together by unknown materials. Some of these stones are reddish, some are white, and the colors are not uniform, but they have a strong feeling.
The layout is also very nice. There are two bicycles parked at the entrance. In front of it are flower pots transformed from beer barrels and small wooden barrels. Flowers or slightly larger potted plants are grown in them. Now is the season when most flowers are blooming.

The small courtyard is colorful and extremely exquisite.

A small round table and parasols are placed among these flowers.

The guest is sitting among the flowers, holding coffee in his hand and crossing his legs. Anyone passing by can feel the comfort.

But is it too early for coffee?

Chen Xing remembered this place and moved on.

Like the old town of Nice, the streets here are also very narrow, but they are slightly wider than in Nice. It's just that the houses on both sides have flowers and a lot of plants planted outside, which makes the roads very crowded.

There is only one main road, but this road is quite wide.

The shops are mainly galleries, and at least six of the ten shops open are galleries. Some galleries may be famous in France, and a large number of tourists are crowded inside, but other galleries are not short of customers.

After all, there are many tourists coming here from all over the world.

Chen Xing randomly walked into a house.

Most of the painters who are willing to stay here are also fans of Monet, Impressionism, who have a strong sense of light and color. Since they have all traveled here, tourists know a little bit about Impressionism, so these shops are not too worried about sales.
p>

With so many galleries and countless works in the entire town of Giverny, there will always be a painting you like.

Chen Xing visited several stores, and the more he looked at them, the more worried he became, and his brows furrowed deeply.

My skills are so bad!

Chen Xing has no shortage of understanding of light and color in nature. The talent for color is in Chen Xing's personal information column, and light...Does a photographer not understand light? Photographers and painters of the same level, only photographers

He must be someone who understands light better.

Chen Xing feels that he can crush the painters here in this aspect, but his technique is too poor and his painting is not good enough.

A gallery owner saw off a boss who had bought a painting and walked over to Chen Xing: "Hello, what did you like?"

"No, but I think these paintings are very good. Were they painted by you?"

"It's me, thank you for the compliment, you speak French very well, international student?"

"Yes."

Chen Xing asked him about renting a house in this small town. The painter's eyes immediately became sharp, and then he looked at Chen Xing seriously.

"You studied painting?"

"That's right, what?"

His black hair is like that of many Asian male stars. His clothes are very clean and he looks handsome. He doesn't look like a painter, but like a debut idol. But he also said that he is an overseas student and also studies painting.
Hiss...Are all young people today so curly?

You come to learn painting if you look like this?

"Because many of the people who rent houses here are painters, and ordinary tourists rarely have this idea. How about your... painting? If it is good, you can put the painting in my shop. The price is very affordable."<

/p>

Chen Xing shrugged and said: "Beginner."

But sooner or later I will learn to become a monk, Chen Xing thought to himself.

"That's a pity." The boss made an exaggerated expression of regret and stopped chatting with Chen Xing. He said, "I will receive other customers first. You can take a look first. If there are any paintings you like, I can

Give you a cheaper price."

After saying that, he went to find someone else.

You haven't told me yet whether the rent here is expensive...

Chen Xing rolled his eyes.

He didn't have any other ideas. He mainly wanted to compare the rent prices in the main city of Paris and here, and then compare them with those in China. After all, the living environment here is so good, and there doesn't seem to be any shortcomings except for the large number of tourists?
p>

A garden-style life with birds singing and flowers fragrant is what he dreams of.

Big house with big yard.

This motivation to make money made him energetic, and he took the camera everywhere to look for pictures that he could take.

Put it on the website, and if someone uses it, it will cost you hundreds or thousands of euros.

When visiting Giverny, the most indispensable thing is Monet's garden. The house is so big that it takes a long time to walk around to see it from the outside. You need to queue up to get in, and you need to buy tickets, but they are very cheap, with a student price of 5.5

Euro.

There weren't many people in the team, but they were walking very slowly.

The efficiency of Europeans is something Chen Xing really wants to complain about.

I waited in line for about twenty minutes before walking in.

As soon as I entered, I saw a sign posted in the scenic area, briefly introducing the area inside.

Monet's garden consists of two parts, namely the garden and the water garden.

The garden, also known as the Normandy Garden, is just in front of the house. It is rectangular in shape and covers an area of ​​about one hectare. It was an orchard before it was transformed by Monet. After Monet bought the house, he carried out extensive renovations. Because he loved flowers and plants, he

The pine trees in front of the house were cut down and a greenhouse was built to grow flowers and grass.

I really love flowers and plants. Now the whole town is filled with the fragrance of flowers, and Monet has at least nine points of credit.

Another water garden, also called a water garden.

But you can't see it yet. You have to wait until you finish visiting the garden on the road and go to the back to see the water garden.
