29 Contingency
The Archbishop's seat is, of course, the Cathedral, and there are only two bishoprics in Britain, Canterbury in the south and York in the north, but Canterbury is the stronghold of Methodism and the religious head of England, so the Archbishop of Canterbury is far more important than the Archbishop of York.
It was entirely by chance that Katie was able to ask the Archbishop of Canterbury to baptize her daughters, not because of how valuable Katie's face was, but simply because the Archbishop of Canterbury, whose hometown was in West Glamorgan, was willing to baptize the Methodists of the Ulsters of Northern Ireland.
"The baptismal service takes place in the church of Bonas. Katie talked about the baptism plan, she was a little selfish, and wanted that at least the daughters should have a little more pomp and circumstance in the baptism ceremony, at least in the choice of godparents and godmothers, so that the daughters' "godfathers and godmothers" would be bigger.
"Have you chosen your child's godfather and godmother?" Lin Yilong happened to ask this question.
"Someone has chosen. Katie replied, "The godfather is Bishop Faulkner, and the godmother is Professor Aldrin." ”
"Which two are these?"
"Professor Eldrin is my Head of St. Paulius College in Durham, and I have a good relationship with her. "Before she went to St. Paulius, she was a professor at the University of Wales, so she was half Welsh. ”
"Haven't heard of it. Lin Yilong replied.
"It's normal not to hear about it. ”
"Wait, Bishop Sinclair is the clergyman of the House of Lords?" Lin Yilong suddenly remembered this person.
"Yes, he is also one of the professors who guided me and is now Archbishop Durham. ”
"......" Lin Yilong thought for a while and didn't answer.
"Have they arranged their food and lodging?" Lin Yilong asked.
"Don't worry, but Professor Aldrin wants to talk to you beforehand. ”
"What?" Lin Yilong was surprised, he had no connection with the academic community, but he often wrote two articles on his website about the development of the law, but they were not particularly important.
"Well, when I was pregnant, I took your paper on our law firm's website and submitted it to a journal, and they included it in the journal. Katie said with a red face.
"What?" Lin Yilong was a little surprised, "Those are all made up by drinking too much cola coffee." ”
"But you know, this paper was published exactly three days before the E-Harbor leak took place a few days ago. Katie said embarrassedly, "And then the contents were used as textbook prophecy models." ”
"But what I'm talking about is already on the basis of discussing existing protection measures. Lin Yilong asked in surprise, "That is, the level of a graduate undergraduate, how can a university professor come to discuss this topic with me?"
She would be interested to know what the European Commission would do if you were to predict. ”
"Why, still ask me to write a serialized paper proposing possible solutions?" Lin Yilong asked rhetorically.
"That's between you and her, I'm only responsible for passing the word. Please don't forget that she is about to be the godmother of our daughter. Even if you don't want to talk, be sure to be respectful of her. Katie laughed, and then kicked the question back to Lin Yilong, "My daughter's baptism ceremony is on Saturday morning? Let's have a chat before you eat. “
"Yes. Lin Yilong thought for a moment, "I hope it's not too sharp, I remember that Archbishop Sinclair is also a law student, how can it become more and more like the annual meeting of the Bar Association before Christmas?"
"I only know this industry, so isn't it normal to find a peer to be a godfather and godmother?" Katie revealed a sense of complaint, "Or, you can help your daughters find it, you can have several godfathers and godmothers at the same time." ”
"Uh......" Lin Yilong was silent for half a minute, and he didn't come up with any more feasible plan, "I suddenly have time on Friday afternoon." ”
"Ah, that's all so beautiful. Katie said.
"Take Polly and Sally with me. Lin Yilong made his request, "Polly and Cellly always have to show their grandparents." ”
"Now?" said Katie, "can't you delay for two days?"
"The child is about to be baptized, and I think grandparents should have the honor of seeing their granddaughter before the baptismal ceremony, what do you think?" Lin Yilong asked.
"After all, they are not born out of wedlock, so they won't be hurt by their grandparents. Katie asked.
"Rest assured, my parents are not savages. Lin Yilong said, "However, they don't speak English very well, and some things are good to listen to." ”
“......”
Father and Mother Lin knew that they had another pair of granddaughters on the fourth day of Polly and Sally's birth - the day Katie was first born in the hospital. When they see Polly and Sally, the "old couple" sigh and count their son's sins while receiving Katie as if nothing had happened.
"Little sisters are so beautiful!" said Father Lin and Mother Lin when Tanica and Natasha were born.
"After all, it's my child, can it not be beautiful?" Lin Yilong patted his chest and said.
Mother Lin took two pairs of bows and tied them on Polly and Sally's legs, "The little sisters are so fun!"
Katie stayed at Lin's father and Lin's mother's residence for three hours, and the four of them had dinner together before parting, and after sending Katie and Poliselli back to the main house of the forest farm, Lin Yilong returned to the small building of Lin's father and Lin's mother to listen to the "parents' teachings".
Father Lin and Mother Lin were rarely angry, they just wanted to hear Lin Yilong's explanation.
“...... So, I need such a helper, and if I can't completely turn Katie into my person, it's impossible to believe it completely. Lin Yilong explained his motivation in detail, "At the same time, she is also willing to engage in this career, so it was an instant hit." ”
"If you let Nadia and Katie clash with each other like this, will you directly overturn our Lin family's small boat!" Father Lin asked, he probably understood Lin Yilong's strategy, and even thought that his son had done the right thing.
"But our family is not a family, and we don't have that background to calm down the situation, especially since this is still the United Kingdom. Lin's mother analyzed the pros and cons of Lin Yilong's theory, and couldn't help but agree with her son's choice, and even regretted why she didn't get a brother for Lin Yilong to help him share, "Although what you said is right, I still feel a little uneasy." ”
"So, Polly and Cellly, both for me and for her, are the crystallization of love that we need as a testimony to our intimacy. Lin Yilong said, "But no matter what, they are my dear daughters, the lovely granddaughters of their parents, no different from Tanica and Natasha." ”
"You are now the head of the family, you make your own decisions, just don't tear our family apart. Mother Lin reluctantly accepted this reality, "However, my son should know best, according to your arrangement, I think you should have other backup strategies." ”
"Yes. ”
"Can I ask how many?" Lin's mother asked, "Your father and I don't want to be kept in the dark all the time, and in the end, like this time, I was told by my son that I suddenly 'like to be a grandparent'." ”
"There was only one, and she was also the daughter of an acquaintance of my mother in London. Lin Yilong desperately squeezed out of his throat and Amy's relationship.
