Chapter 63 Chapter 5
Ah Zhai used the gold coins he had left in his hand to buy a small house on the outskirts of Rome, although it took a long way to enter the city from the outskirts of the city every day to paint people, but now he wants to understand that his heart is clear and not impetuous, but he thinks that this is also very good.
In addition to painting people, he also began to ponder the picture of Fei Lengcui's life that he wanted to draw at the beginning, and now he began to try to make a sketch, although he was not very satisfied, but he gradually realized that his painting seemed to have broken through a new realm.
In the past, the second secondary school boy probably longed for the seven sages of the bamboo forest depicted in the book, so he also disguised himself as a literary and artistic young man, learning to participate in Zen meditation from others, and by the way, attracting the attention of his crush, imagining that he also had the scholarly spirit of scolding Fang Xuan and exalting words.
One day, I saw a passage that said that there are three realms of learning literature, doing things or being a person, one is to see the mountain is the mountain, and the water is the water; The second is to look at the mountain is not a mountain, and the water is not water; The third is to look at the mountain or the mountain, and the water is still the water. He also used to quote the new words in the composition, but unfortunately he couldn't understand these various flavors, but now that several worlds have been reincarnated, his temperament has become more and more polished, and he has tasted a little bit from it, and gradually put it into brushstrokes, and the painting has become more and more calm and flexible.
Therefore, he was not as eager as in earning gold coins as in the past, and he had to live left and right, and after being rich for a few lifetimes, he gave birth to a bit of a mentality of peace and poverty, so he took off the shackles of writing again, so he began to try to make a draft.
Of course, if he wants to paint a good Fei Lengcui, it is naturally not a day or two, so he will choose those that make him happy or relieved from his memory from the days since he met Ian, one by one, and carefully paint them, and repeatedly chew on the emotions of the day when painting, so that he has improved a little more.
"Jin, you came back very early today."
Because they live on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by simple peasants, they still admire Jin Zichu, a talented painter, at first, they were still stuck to their identity, worried that this down-and-out aristocratic young master would look down on people, and they found that it was not so difficult to get along, and they were still very easy to talk!
"I didn't have a lot of inspiration, and I came back early when it was cold." Jin Zichu used to say that it sounded like a house, but if it was ugly, it was called socially defective, and several worlds were mixed, and his emotional intelligence had also increased a little, and now it is an easy-going greeting with these citizens who have been separated by centuries, which can be regarded as a growth.
"Do you know, I heard that the little princess of Fei Lengcui is going to marry us in Rome." Probably all the women have a bit of gossip, and a few peasant women sit in the small square not far from the entrance of the house after a day's farm work.
"Who is married? An uncle in my family is doing hand-weaving in Fei Leng Cui, listening to him speak with a sense of arrogance, very despised us, do you say that this young lady of Fei Leng Cui's family can afford to look down on her husband when she marries? "The short and fat miller smacks his lips, gossip has never been a woman's preference.
"Old man, you just like to worry nonsense!" The old lady's red hair had gradually turned white, and her face was covered with freckles, but the way she spoke made people feel convinced, "Isn't this life happening?" Besides, there are so many kind people in our city, what is there to get by. ”
……
Ah Zhai stood next to him and listened quietly, and only after half an hour did he go home and close the door and sighed at Sherlock: "Don't talk about twists and turns in this plot now, I remember that the plot you gave me didn't mention Sophia's whereabouts much, but I'm afraid it won't end well to go against the heroine." ”
"There's nothing wrong with you in the original book!" Sherlock himself was happily rolling on the couch with a ball of yarn, "What are you telling me about this?" ”
"Sophia's wedding, he must go back, don't say it, I really miss him recently." After a pause, Ah Zhai spoke quite directly, he was actually quite subtle in the past, but now that he thinks about some of the crooked people's practices, there is nothing wrong with them, since he misses them, he will say them, how can the person who doesn't say them know, "What's more, I have a stroke with him now." It's been a long time.,What if he gets along with the heroine again.,What should I do? ”
"You're a chicken bloodie." Sherlock narrowed his eyes, "Actually, it's very easy if you want to see him, Sophia and Croze's wedding is officiated by the Pope himself, so they will definitely give on a large scale, you can get together, their wedding must be held in St. Peter's Basilica, it's very spacious and there are a lot of people, you don't have to trouble talking to Ian a few words." ”
"Then do you think we need to step on it earlier?" The thought of going to meet that person made Ah Zhai's eyes light up.
"What else am I stepping on?"
"Hehe, I didn't expect that." Ah Zhai smiled and rushed over and rubbed the black cat vigorously, "I really didn't find you so useful, but then again, what if Sophia recognizes you?" ”
"Is there anything else she has to do on her wedding day?" Sherlock really doesn't want to admit that his little friend's IQ has dropped recently, which is really worrying, "But the place where they got married is in the Vatican, so we have to go first." ”
On the day of the wedding, the sky is beautiful, the domed cathedral under the blue canopy has a grand and magnificent beauty, unlike the church that Ah Zhai saw in Rome that blended Gothic and Baroque styles, this is a very traditional church, the whole building presents a cross structure, standing in the square in front of the church, looking at this cathedral that is even partially being restored, Ah Zhai can't help but admire,
As Sherlock had predicted, on this day there were priests in the square to give alms, and many peasants who lived in the surrounding area or further afield came, both to enjoy the joy of the newlyweds and to at least eat for free, after all, although the handicraft industry was very developed in this era, and many merchants were very wealthy, after all, most of the poor lived a miserable life.
"She's so beautiful." With the arrival of twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Ah Zhai entered the church through the side door early with the help of the black cat, looking for an unobtrusive place to sit and watch the ceremony.
The sound of ceremonial music sounded, and the girl holding the bouquet of flowers slowly walked out from behind the door with the hand of the Grand Duke Conti, she was wearing the fishtail skirt of the two sets of wedding dresses designed by Ah Zhai, at this time Andersen was not born, and there was no story of the Little Mermaid, so the skirt designed by Jin Zichu was still quite novel, and he even heard that there were already aristocratic girls whispering, wanting to inquire where such a beautiful skirt was ordered.
"Have you been here under the guidance of Jesus Christ to receive the holy baptism of marriage?" Timothy stood in the center, but the thin old man's voice was loud, and he looked at the two young men standing in front of him with loving eyes.
"Yes." A couple looked at each other and nodded.
"Then I'm going to ask you the same question separately, it's a long question, please think carefully after listening to it before answering." Timothy looked solemn, "Mr. Croze, are you willing to marry this beautiful young lady beside you as your wife, love her, comfort her, respect her, protect her as you love yourself?" ”
"......" Kreuz found that he actually hesitated at this moment, obviously as long as he said I am willing, then he would not only be able to gain a firm foothold among the nobles, expand his influence and gain the support of the Conte family, but he would also be able to harvest a beautiful wife and a large fortune brought by his wife, but I don't know why he suddenly remembered the painting, which depicted a gentle and sad girl in a white dress.
Guests began to lose their breath on the ground floor of the auditorium.
"Are you coming to the ceremony?" Ah Zhai took this opportunity to quietly ask His Excellency the Cardinal who didn't know when he came to his side, blinking slightly, in fact, when His Holiness the Pope came to be the officiant, he remembered for a moment that he had a wedding with the person next to him, although the wedding was simple There were only two people, and there was no guest, but he still felt very happy, at least they really loved each other.
"Sophia is my sister." Ian smiled, he always calmly and somewhat coldly watched the scene happening, and even a little indifferently as his sister turned red in the louder and louder noise.
"Aren't you going to help her out?" Ah Zhai looked at a farce below, although he knew that he couldn't escape Sophia's self-inflicted suffering, but he still relented, after all, Sophia was just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, but such an embarrassing situation at the wedding she was looking forward to was enough for her to bear, even if the two really became husband and wife, then today's scene is likely to become a thorn in the hearts of the newlyweds, and it is always a hidden danger.
"Kreuz?" Timothy blinked slightly and looked at his son, what was he thinking? I have to say that at this moment, the Pope is still a little disappointed in his child, if he doesn't want to say it before the engagement, why bother with the wedding.
“…… I, I do. Croze spoke suddenly, a trace of struggle and then calm in his eyes, after all, he was a child who had been carefully taught by his father's side, and the desire for power in his bones overwhelmed the longing for love, and he really didn't need to ruin the marriage between the two families for the sake of a girl who didn't know if it was true.
"What about you? Miss Sophia, will you marry this handsome gentleman beside you, whether poor or rich, sick or healthy, and always be loyal to him and love each other until he leaves this world? Timothy breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the beautiful but desolate little girl standing beside her.
“…… I, willingly. Sophia closed her eyes slightly, with a hint of tremor in her voice, if she was still a little annoyed and sad just now, then the rest of this moment is calm, although she is simple, but the past month or two is enough for her to grow up, nothing is more important than the family, she silently read it in her heart several times, from now on they will be husband and wife, she will take care of the house like a mother, like all noble ladies should do, but she will not regenerate love for her husband.
"You ......" Kreuz moved his lips, and finally said nothing, he didn't really understand what kind of sincere feelings he had lost at this moment.
