Chapter 41: The Bishop
Pushing open the heavy wooden door of the room, Tang Zhen immediately smelled the faint fragrance of jasmine inside.
There is a small coffee table at the door, on which are placed medieval-style wine bottles and glasses.
Looking into the room, the dΓ©cor is neat and consistent, from the carpet to the patterns on the walls, to the curtains and the curtains on the beds, all in a dark red tone.
In the middle of the room was a low desk, along with a small chair.
On the tabletop are letter-openers and fire-lacquered seals, accompanied by candlesticks and seals with a single candle.
On either side of the desk are a typical European bed and a single sofa with a small coffee table.
The bed was a double bed with a few rose petals sprinkled on the white sheets, and there were bedside tables at either end of the bed, on top of which were vase-style lamps with no sockets.
At the foot of the bed there is a footboard sofa.
Returning to the desk, there is a cabinet behind the desk, and a mirror hangs on the wall above the cabinet, which is sandwiched between the two windows, making the most of all the space in the room.
There was not only a candlestick on the cabinet, but also a bottle of jasmine, next to which was a small box, which was opened with a layer of silk cloth that could be used to hold small jewelry.
In front of the window to the right of the mirror there is a dressing cabinet, which also has a mirror, and it expands with a small bench inside.
In addition, there is a chandelier in the room, which can be lifted and lowered, and there are twenty or thirty candles in total, which need to be lit and extinguished manually, and when it comes to the evening, there will naturally be a maid to light the lamp.
On the bedside table to the left of the bed, there is a call bell, and when you press it, a maid will come to the door.
Because it is not the master bedroom, Tang Zhen's room does not have a small room, and the wooden barrel used for bathing is in the corner of the room, separated by a screen.
Overall, very tasteful.
It's a pity that there are no napkins, trash cans, sockets, TVs and other things used in modern society in the room, and European life pays more attention to socializing with friends and outdoor sports.
For example, you can drink and brag with a group of friends at night, you can bend bows and shoot arrows, hunt on horseback, put on medieval armor and fencing, and even get on a horse to experience the duel between knights, and experience the original medieval life.
Of course, this is indispensable to play a little game with the maid.
Sit on the single sofa and look out the window at the street scene, the plains are surrounded by small streams, and at the end of the line of sight are one high mountain after another, and when you climb over that mountain, you can hear the sound of the sea.
It's a soothing sight, but who would have thought that in such a beautiful place, there is also a dark side.
At least more than 200 people attended the lecture, and the strange thing was that Jack never told Tang Zhen the name of the man's sect, could it be that he talked to the "believers" with the name of master and servant? But even the sect has no name, and it is hidden deep enough.
"Aggressive, master. There was a knock on the door of the room, interrupting Tang Zhen's thoughts.
Tang Zhen didn't let her in immediately, but asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Outside: "Afternoon tea for you." β
"Come in. β
The door to the room was pushed open, and there came Caitlin, the most temperamental of all the maids, a height of one meter and a little more than seventy, with a creamy complexion, smooth and delicate legs, and not a small breast.
It is said that she is of mixed Eurasian blood, so her skeleton is not as large as that of Europeans, and she has an oriental beauty in her appearance, rather than a traditional white beauty.
"The hosts. Caitlyn held the tray in her hand and bowed half-squatting towards Tang Zhen.
After the salute, she slowly put the teapot and teacup on the tray on the small coffee table in front of Tang Zhen, and when she bent over, Tang Zhen's eyes were inevitably taken into the ditch.
Caitlyn smiled at Tang Zhen, she noticed Tang Zhen's gaze, but she didn't feel embarrassed or angry about it.
Tang Zhen lowered his head in embarrassment, poured himself a cup of tea, blew it, and took a sip.
Because drinking tea is easy to get stones, Tang Zhen rarely drinks tea, and when he is at home, Mama He will only buy tea to boil tea eggs, and will make tea for Tang Zhen to drink.
It's bitter, but it's not astringent, and after swallowing it, you will feel a little sweet in your throat, and it feels good.
"Thank you. β
"You're welcome. Caitlyn hugged the tray, "Is there anything else you need?"
"No need. β
"Okay. β
Caitlyn exited the room.
The situation was the same in the other rooms, and the maid brought them a pot of afternoon tea.
Sipping tea and looking at the scenery, life is so comfortable.
However, after sitting for a while, everyone couldn't sit still and began to think of something to do.
Zhao Xin dragged Li Xiang to go horseback riding, Zhen Lihua and Wang Rui wanted to try fencing, Li Rong watched the battle, and Yuan Aiyu contacted the local animal protection organization in the room.
Tang Zhen also got into the car alone and drove to the address given to him by Jack.
Scotland's population is very scattered, with the exception of a few large cities, and it is often not a single household within a few kilometres of drive.
Tang Zhen's destination this time is a village called Nordunger, which is about a forty-minute drive from Fennik Castle, with a total of more than 20 families, which belongs to a large village.
Driving on the road, I have to sigh at the convenience of navigation, even if you go abroad, navigation can also be used, don't worry about getting lost in the plains and mountains.
The local radio station has always been talking about Brexit, but Scotland has a lively attitude towards it, but it is only the opinion of this radio station that Tang Zhen listened to, and does not represent other radio stations.
Built on a hill, the villagers' houses are a little more modern than Fennick Castle, at least with something modern like antenna solar.
The overall architectural style is a large one-story bungalow, but also a two-storey church-like building, more than 20 houses are separated by a brick road, with more than 10 families on each side, and at the end of the road is a cathedral that can accommodate 500 people at once.
This is the church where the man gave his lecture two years ago.
According to Jack's recollection, everyone in Murakami was here at that time.
Because you will get 50 pounds for participating, and you can get 50 pounds at the end, no one wants to miss such a good thing.
Walking into the church, there is only one bishop looking through a book on a table.
The bishop simply raised his head and ignored him.
Fresh face, I'm afraid it's another tourist.
"Hello?" Tang Zhen greeted him.
The bishop looked up again, he took off his reading glasses and looked at Tang Zhen carefully.
"May I ask how I can help you? β
"I'm looking for someone. Tang Zhen stood at the door of the church, talking to the bishop at a considerable distance.
"Anyway, I will do my best to help you if I can. The bishop said kindly.
"It's a man who gave a talk in this church two years ago. β
The bishop stared at Tang Zhen for more than ten seconds, and said, "I don't have any impression of what you said, you may have found the wrong place, I'm sorry I couldn't help you." Please come back. β
"Really?" Tang Zhen raised an eyebrow.
