If you want to be close to Eloise, you have to be close to her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Info, however, he didn't know how to approach her. Although he had read some books on the relationship between men and women, the content of the books was very vague and vague, and there was no practical guidance. Although he wrote her so many poems, it didn't allow him to really get close to her. This made him restless and very distressed.
That afternoon, his friend Eros came to his room, and when he saw him sitting at his desk, with his head in his hands, looking worried and distressed, he asked, "My dear philosopher, what is troubling you that makes you so troubled?"
He sighed and said, "I am in love with a young girl, but I don't know how to get close to her. ”
His friend was taken aback, and said, "You're in love with a young girl, my God, the sun won't come out of the west?" for in his friend's mind, Abelard was more of an idol than a mortal.
He had been reluctant to say this to anyone, but now he confessed and bitterly that "I wonder why a young girl would be more infatuated with me than the philosophers?" My dear friend, save me. ”
Eros said, "The maiden you are talking about, she will have the power to make our great philosophers fall for her?"
"Her name is Eloise and she is one of my students. ”
Eros nodded and said with a sigh, "No wonder, it's this girl, don't say it's you, it's the Pope and the King, when you see such a girl, you can't help but be tempted." ”
"Yes, the first time I saw her, I was so captivated by her that I can't help myself. She is like an angel sent by God to tempt me to indulge my lusts and draw closer to the world. ”
But Eros immediately said to him in a tone of admonition, "That Eloise who enchanted you is the niece of Fulbert, the Archpriest of Notre-Dame. He was the maiden's guardian. However, Fulbert was not an easy man to deal with. I'm sure he's absolutely not going to approve of you associating with his niece. I have heard that he has conceded her to the Prince of Valencia of the famous Count of Verde in Paris. ”
"I've heard she doesn't like the Parisian boy. ”
Eros frowned and said, "Even if Eloise doesn't like Valencia, Fulbert will find her another rich son." So, he's never going to agree to let Eloise be with you. You have to think about that. ”
Abelard pleaded, "But I only love Eloise, I love her incorrigibly, and you must think of a way for me." ”
Eros thought for a moment, and then he said, "Fulbert loves his niece very much, and wants her to be a brilliant scholar, and it may be a good idea if you can be her governess." ”
When Abelard heard this, he was overjoyed and said, "Great, but you'd better go and tell Fulbert about it." ”
Although he did not have much contact with this priest, he was still somewhat familiar with the same church. This man was greedy and petty, and he was very calculating when it came to dealing with people. So he doesn't like to associate with this kind of person, and thinks that this kind of person is obscene and humble, vulgar and low, and does not look like a normal man. However, for the sake of the beautiful girl who fascinated him. He had to deal with him.
"What are the conditions?"
Abelard said, "Don't talk about the conditions, as long as things can be done well." ”
Two days later, Eros had the matter done. He came to Abelard and said, "I visited Fulbert yesterday and met Eloise as well. So I said to him, your niece is very talented, and if there is another master to guide and guide her, her talent will be immeasurable. He agreed with my suggestion, but he said that there was hardly anyone in the whole of Paris who could actually be a governess for her niece. Because few people can surpass his niece in academics. So, I mentioned you and said you were my best friend. As soon as Fulbert heard of you, he was pleased to say that only Abelard could be a teacher of Eloise in Paris. Therefore, he commissioned me to intercede with you, to ask you to be Eloise's teacher, to teach her theology and philosophy. ”?
When Abelard heard this, he said happily, "Great. I want to thank you, my good friend. ”
"Alright, let's go to Fulbert's." I've made an appointment with him. He's probably waiting for us at home. ”
Abelard said happily, "My good friend, what do you think I should wear?"
"Of course it's the best clothes." Your black robe can only be worn in church and in the classroom. I saw that beautiful girl yesterday, and she was dressed very well, and you can't be too much inferior to her. ”
So Abelard began to change his clothes. Originally, as a teacher of the Christian church, he had to wear black church clothes, because black meant poverty and humility. The black color of this fabric is not dyed, but woven from black wool. However, because he was going to visit, Abelard changed into a white blouse, which was tight-fitting with long cuffs and striped decorations, and was made of linen. In particular, with the addition of purple trim and green ribbon, it looks solemn and gorgeous. The pants are also white, but have red satin trim and gold thread trim. The appearance is peculiar and prestigious.
Wait for Abelard to change and come out of the bedroom. Aros was surprised, "You look like a noble prince. ”
Abelard laughed, "I wish Eloise would say the same." ”
The two of them walked downstairs as they spoke. They walked out of the church school gate and down the sidewalk to the left. Take a bend and you'll see the Notre-Dame Cathedral across the street. Notre-Dame Cathedral was built in the heart of Paris as a Gothic building and the cathedral of the Catholic Archdiocese of Paris. Notre-Dame means "our lady" in French. And this lady is not referring to anyone else, but to the Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus.
They crossed the street in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral, then passed in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral, and walked for about a few minutes until they came to a two-story building not far from Notre-Dame Cathedral. Eros tells Abelard that this is the Fulbert family's home. They went to the door and knocked on it, and someone opened it. The man who opened the door knew Eros and let them go into the courtyard together.
