A week later, Sister Cornelia returned to the abbey of Argenteuil, and looking at her dusty and tired appearance, Eloise said bitterly, "Where have you been these days, I look forward to you every day." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Cornelia said, "I went to Brittany. ”

"Brittany?" ah, what a gracious name, this is Abelard's homeland. "You went to Brittany?"

"Yes," said Cornelia, "I have met Abelard, who is now the abbot of St. Kildas's monastery. He asked me to bring you a letter. ”

Eloise immediately took the letter, opened it, and it read:

"Eloise, my dear sister: I am pleased to enclose to you the convent of the Holy Spirit and its property in the territory of Nojean-sur-Seine as a refuge for you and your nuns in the possession of the house of the abbey of Argenteuil Saint-Denis and the forced separation of the nuns. By the time you receive this letter, I have returned from St. Kildas to the Church of the Holy Spirit in Nojean, and you and your nuns may come at once, and we may go through the formalities of the allegation together, and we may meet each other. Your brother Abelard. ”

Looking at this letter, Eloise was surprised and delighted, and could not help but rejoice. Yes, she would soon be able to see her husband and lover, whom she had been thinking about day and night, and she already had their own convent. She immediately said to Cornelia, "You have worked hard these days, take a quick rest, and I will go and tell the nuns who have not yet left, and inform the nuns who have left, and ask them to rush to the convent of the Holy Spirit in Nojean." There is our own monastery there. Then he said to Cornelia, "Thank you so much, Cornelia, my dear sister. ”

Eloise came to the house of the nuns who had not yet departed, and said to them, "Do not be anxious any more, for we have our own convent, and there is a convent of the Holy Spirit by the Seine in Nojean. ”

Hearing her words, the nuns immediately changed their beaming faces and said, "Great, God will not abandon us." ”

So Eloise called them together, and asked them to write letters or go out to gather the departed nuns to meet in the convent of the Holy Spirit in Nojan. And they themselves began to prepare to move to Nojan. For these nuns, there is no need for possessions, just a place to live. So, as soon as they heard the news, they felt that they had a new home, and so, they were very grateful to their dean, Eloise.

The Church of the Holy Spirit is located in Nojean, where the Seine and Marne meet, in a remote area on the eastern outskirts of Paris. The abbey of Argenteuil, on the other hand, is located on the northern side of the Seine, separated by nearly 30 miles, and it takes at least a full day to walk. So, Eloise first asked Cornelia to stay in the monastery of Argenteuil and wait for news, and she took some of the people to Nojean first.

They set out before dawn and traveled through the northeastern city of Paris to Nojean-sur-Marne, east of Paris. Far from the city of Paris, it is an endless wilderness area. It took a long way to see a few homes. It was only when they came to the place where many people had built huts in the wilderness that they saw a very simple, not very large, steeple church standing prominently in the flat wilderness. And the big words written on the front of the church are "Holy Spirit".

Aloise was agitated and entered the church through the door. The church is very cold and simple, and can accommodate about 100 people, but it has all kinds of facilities. Entering the courtyard through the side door of the church, the courtyard is very large, and it is covered with two large rows of houses, with more than twenty houses. Each house can accommodate three or five people. Eloise calculated that there was room for almost all of them. And, if necessary, they can build some more houses in the yard. Because there is still a large open space in the courtyard.

At this time, Abelard heard that someone was coming from the courtyard, and when he went out, he saw that Eloise had come here with a few nuns. He couldn't help but be stunned. She was dressed in the black of the monastery, but without a veil. Although he didn't see her face right away, her slender figure and graceful posture still made him recognize it at a glance. Looking at her face again, she was still so young and beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel an urge to rush over and hold her tightly in his arms, but she was no longer his wife and lover, but his sister. So, he walked up to her cordially and said to them in a very polite tone, "Welcome, welcome." ”

Eloise also looked very calm, saluted him, and said, "Are you okay?"

Abelard nodded hurriedly and said, "Very well, are you okay?" In fact, he didn't need to ask at all, because he knew that she was already the dean.

Eloise replied, "It's fine. She felt that they were not at all like husband and wife or lovers meeting, but like two acquaintances.

Ablaar, knowing that they had walked all day, led them into a large room to rest. There were some very rudimentary wooden beds in the room, where his students used to live. There were some straw on the bed, but no bedding. The nuns sat on the planks and rested. Abelard, on the other hand, took Eloise and talked to her as she looked at the houses and facilities in the courtyard.

Eloise asked him eagerly, "Where have you been all these years, and why have you never come to see me?"

Abelard felt guilty when he heard this, but he did not want to tell her about his criticism and persecution, and felt that it would make her feel worried, so he said, "I have been concentrating on my research and writing." ”

Eloise asked, "What books have you written?"

"I wrote 'On the Trinity and Oneness of God,' 'Christian Theology,' and 'Introduction to Theology,' of which I wrote two books, 'On the Trinity and Oneness of God,' and 'Christian Theology,' were written here. ”

Eloise said, "Give me a set of your books, and I'll take a good look at them." ”

Abelard said, "All right, I'll get you a copy of each." ”

The two of them talked as they walked to the path outside the church. Abelard pointed to the nearby fields and vegetable patches and said, "This land is mine, and I will give it all to you." He used the word "gift" to express his love for her over the years.

"You have given me all your land and property, but what will you do in the future?"

Ablaard said, "What is mine is yours, and yours is mine, and when I am old and have no place to go, I will come to you to meditate." ”

"At that point," said Eloise, "you don't have to do anything, just stay in the library all day and write, writing what you want." ”

"At that point, we'll be together every day, and what a great time it will be." ”

At this time, the sun had already set over the western mountain, sprinkling golden light on the endless fields. A fresh and moist wind blows from afar, making people feel extremely comfortable.
