【066】Absurd performance
At night, the city was lit up, and the nobles rode in horse-drawn carriages to the Grand Theater in the center of the city.
Of course, in these ranks, there are also "pseudo-nobles" like Sophie and Uncle Manji.
The wealthy businessmen who had money but no status wore gorgeous dresses, and regarded the performance as a place to climb like a drinking party and dance hall.
Ticket sellers generally buy tickets for these status-seeking merchants, who can use this opportunity to meet the aristocracy and squeeze into the celebrity society, while the ticket sellers can make a fortune.
However, the baker's brother is also a ticket seller, so he can give him the ticket directly and let him take his younger siblings to go, but the younger siblings can't go if they have something, and the master doesn't want to go, so the baby face is actually very popular, mainly to be likable, the baker looked at the little girl and closed his eyes, so he gave her the ticket, anyway, for them, what they can get at any time is naturally very cheap.
Sophie wanted to buy a lot of snacks to bring in, but when she got to the door and someone stopped her, she remembered that this was not a movie and she couldn't eat.
This kind of relatively high-end theater is a place to appreciate art, sacred and noble, not a roadside stall.
Sophie could only reluctantly give a few bags of snacks to a group of children who were playing.
"Uncle Manji, I'm uncomfortable......" she wilted, and even the mood of watching the drama was affected.
Manji laughed twice, then took out a box of small biscuits from a hidden pocket and gestured "shhh
Sophie: "......"
The mood instantly improved!
The theater was very large, and there were many people seated, although there were many people, but it was not hot.
It's autumn now, and if it's summer, Sophie definitely doesn't want to come.
The theater is divided into two floors, the upper floor is the nobles of the viscount rank and above, the lower level is the knight rank of the nobles, and there are many wealthy merchants.
Sophie found a place in the middle and pulled Uncle Manji to sit down with her.
The show begins promptly at seven o'clock, before which Viscount Kendi welcomes the guests.
Viscount Kendi is a slightly chubby middle-aged man, he has two small beards, this looks a little funny, and his gestures are also full of joy, like a comedian, but as soon as he speaks, he is very personable, and that aristocratic temperament comes out.
Sophie secretly ate small biscuits, like a little hamster clicking, surrounded by adults, covering her little figure very well, Viscount Kendi couldn't see it, she could lower her head and eat with confidence.
*
The second floor is not high, with a clear view of the theater, with ornately carved crystal chandeliers, intricately woven curtains, comfortable and soft sofas, those expensive velvet blankets neatly laid out on the floor, and feathers decorating the walls.
The servant with the black tea knocked lightly on the door of the viewing platform, and after receiving the words of permission, he gently opened the door and walked in.
"Miss Chrissy, this is the tea and dessert prepared by the Viscount to your liking. The servant put down the plate, lowered his eyes, and said, "If there is no other request, I will go down first." ”
Chrissy said, "Okay, thank you." ”
She placed a cup of black tea in front of the young man beside her, "Lannoth, this is for you." ”
The black tea is hot and exudes a rich tea aroma.
But the blonde boy's eyes didn't seem to be here.
The blue eyes looked at the audience on the first floor, and the middle of the audience was full of adults, and people looked intently at Viscount Kendi on the stage, so no one noticed a small figure with his head bowed secretly eating underneath.
She has long hair that is slightly curly, likes to tie bows, and wears a nice little dress.
"What's the matter?" Chrissy asked strangely when she saw the boy looking at the audience.
The boy shook his head, retracted his gaze, and shook his head: "It's nothing, just found a hamster." ”
"Hamster?" Chrissy wondered, "was that the guest brought in?"
Lannoth picked up the black tea, took a sip gently, thought of the funny appearance of the girl bowing her head and stealing food, and chuckled: "Maybe." ”
After two months in Farminay, the first semester was over.
The school is out for half a month, and during this half month, most of the apprentices have returned home, Carter and Locke are from the same town, and they have grown up together, so they will naturally go home together.
Chrissy misses her father and plans to return early in the morning, but Lannoth doesn't seem to have any intention of leaving the academy.
Ever since Miss Shanna was gone, Chrissy had always had strange feelings.
She felt like Lannoth was lonely, but he had a lot of friends around him, Catlock, himself and his classmates.
There is no one who doesn't like Lannoth because he is so gentle.
He is like the warm sunlight, dazzling and gorgeous.
Chrissy is a careful girl, and after getting along with the teenager for a long time, she can naturally feel that something is wrong.
Obviously she stayed with Lannoth all day, but the girl felt that there was a long distance between her and him.
Sometimes she unconsciously remembered what Augli's tutor had said, and the sense of distance grew heavier, so the night before she left the academy, she approached Lannoth and invited him to her house.
Her father, Enroel Kendi, welcomed her home with her guests, and at first glance he was very fond of the courteous young man.
"Have some dim sum? This is the most famous cake workshop in the city, and it is very popular all over the country. Chrissy brought the cake to the boy.
Lannoth chuckled, "Thank you, Chrissy, but I'm not a big fan of sweets. ”
"Is that so?" Chrissy frowned slightly: "But you have never refused to give it to you before." ”
The boy's eyes were slightly apologetic: "I used to have a little guy, and he likes sweets very much, so I gave it all." ”
The little one, Chrissy thought it was a small animal, so she asked, "What about your little one?"
Lannoth looked at the cake in front of the table, lowered his eyes slightly, his bangs covered his eyes with a little coldness, and said quietly: "It left." ”
"I ran two months ago, I didn't keep it, I'm worried,"
Chrissy patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "It's okay Lenos, maybe it has found a better home." ”
However, this sentence did not seem to have a comforting effect, the young man's hand holding the black tea paused slightly, his eyes were dark, but he quickly regained his smile: "Chrissy, I understand, thank you." ”
After Viscount Kendi finished speaking, he returned to his viewing platform, and then to the warm applause of the audience.
The drama began.
*
Sophie swallowed the last bite of the biscuit, took two sips of water, and turned her attention to the stage.
"Two-Faced Man" tells a very absurd story.
The protagonist Ori is a kind man who admires the god of light and looks forward to one day entering the church and becoming a true believer.
The church only accepts good and positive people, so Ollie has been doing good deeds, and he works hard every day, constantly sending money to his family and taking care of his family, even if it is a lazy guy.
Later, the robbers robbed his village and killed his family, and Ollie was very sad, but he thought that the church only needs kind and positive people, so he wiped away his tears and smiled at the robbers who killed his family.
The robbers thought he was insane, but they didn't kill him, and he was left to fend for himself.
Ollie was seriously injured and he was thrown at the entrance of the village, but fortunately, a kind woman saved him.
The two secretly fell in love with each other and soon came together, but the good times did not last long, and one day, Ori went up the mountain to chop wood, and the woman was insulted by the bully of the neighboring village.
She couldn't stand the stimulation and left a letter for Ollie, choosing to commit suicide, hoping that Oli could avenge herself.
When Ori returned, he saw the letter, but he didn't take the knife to kill the bully, because the disciples were not allowed to stain their hands with blood, and they were not allowed to hold grudges against others, and the God of Light only accepted good people, so Ori buried his wife and smiled at the bully who insulted his wife, as usual.
While working in the town, a kind shopkeeper took in the down-and-out Ori, who was very grateful to him and worked hard every day, but two years later, the shopkeeper was targeted by a nobleman in the town, who brought someone to destroy the shop, took away a treasure, and disabled the shopkeeper. When Ori returns, the crippled shopkeeper is struggling on the ground, hoping that Ori will help him retrieve the treasure that has been taken from him, the only thing his wife has left him.
But Ori shook his head.
"Robbing is a very bad act, and the gods don't like it. ”
The shopkeeper looked at Ori in disbelief, and he closed his eyes in this resentment.
Ollie buried the shopkeeper and cleaned up the shop, the nobleman found out that there were still people in the shop, and brought people to provoke, Ollie looked at the villains who killed the shopkeeper, and still smiled.
The kind Olli forgives all those who hurt him, no matter who it is, he always smiles, he needs to always be kind, always forgiving, he has no resentment, no disgust or anything like that.
Soon, this kind man was known to the church.
They invited him to join the Church and gave him the title of Bishop, and during the ceremony, Ollie kissed his red robe affectionately.
He had no family, no wife, no benefactor, but he succeeded.
He succeeded in entering the church and became an honorable congregant.
He's fantastic, he's got his dreams come true.
And so the drama ends.
Oli fulfilled his wish, and he used his "kindness and tolerance" to get this, which belongs to him - honor.
*
It's really an inspirational story.
Sophie was glad she had finished her biscuit before the play began.
Otherwise.
She's going to throw up.
This is no longer an ordinary Holy Father, this is simply the elite of the Holy Fathers! The fighter of the elite! The VIP of the fighter jet!
"Uncle Manji. Sophie leaned on the man's arm and said weakly, "I feel that my three views have been impacted." ”
Manji rubbed her head comfortingly, and then asked seriously, "What are the three views?"
Sophie: "......" =_=
*
Kindness and tolerance are essential qualities that every believer must have.
Chrissy had been to church before, had met church members, and they were very friendly and kind.
At the end of the play, she took a sip of tea and explained to Lannoth, "Actually, real believers are not so ignorant. ”
"Although they are kind, they are not blind and kind, they are generous, but they are not forgivable for everything. ”
"Oli is a stupid man. Chrissy pouted, "He got his wish and lost everything." ”
She expected the teenager's response, but the teenager next to her didn't speak.
His gaze was still on the stage.
It's curtain call time, and the performance is over, and the audience bursts into warm applause.
The applause was deafening, and maybe not many people actually watched the play, but they applauded anyway.
The black tea at hand is cold.
The boy didn't move.
Chrissy looked at Lennoth quietly, and after the play ended, she suddenly noticed that there was something wrong with the young man's emotions.
She reached out to touch his face, but before she could do so, Lannoth grabbed her wrist.
"Chrissy. He turned his head, his blue eyes shining with a gentle smile, and the smile on his face was as good as ever, "You're right. ”
So mild, warm.
It's like the moonlight in the night sky that illuminates the way ahead.
But at one point, Chrissy was surprised to think that he overlapped with Oli.
His red lips opened slightly, and his voice was low, soft, magnetic, "That's a stupid fellow. ”
"It's stupid, there's no cure. ”
