*This chapter is also known as "The Feast of the Hung Gate? 》

Xiao Yao had just been chatting with Shen Jie at the dock, and he didn't notice that his cousin Xiao Er had quietly stood up - no wonder, after all, he hadn't been so close for a long time. Now sitting in the car, I realized that Xiao Er's head was a little wet, and I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him for a while.

Of course, he doesn't have the time to think about it now.

Bach's tune echoed in the car—it seemed to be an "Aria on the G string," and Xiao Yao listened to Yu Luying. There was also a driver in black clothes (so dangerous, this one with hair) in the driver's seat. The car drove very smoothly, and none of the three men in black spoke, and the two bald heads sat in the middle of him, one left and one right, which made Xiao Yao feel even more that he had been kidnapped.

Suddenly, the young man had an idea: He said that he was sent by Yu Special, that is, Yu Specially Selected? What if it's really the bad guys who come to kidnap under a false name?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but gasp. But what's the value of being kidnapped?

The distance of more than a kilometer, even if you add the distance to the underground parking lot, did not give Xiao Yao too much time to think nonsense. When he saw the car driving into the Shengai Hotel, Xiao Yao's hanging heart had already let go of most of it, and the rest was to think about how to deal with the adults of the Yu family - uh, the old man.

The car stopped, and the bald head in black invited him out of the car, and took the elevator directly from the underground parking lot to the 27th floor.

Walking into this room, Xiao Yao felt as if he had walked through a corridor of time. In the antique Republican-style private room, the dim light sprinkles on the old-fashioned tapestries on the walls, adding a touch of calm atmosphere to the room. The high ceiling is intricately carved and tells the story of the years. A row of ancient wooden windows gently brings in soft sunlight through the half-drawn sheer curtains, creating a faint golden halo.

In the center of the room, a huge round dining table dominates. The dining table is made of the finest mahogany and has a mirror-like surface that reflects everything around it.

The table was filled with all kinds of delicate porcelain plates and silver plates, and there were more than a dozen or twenty dishes on display. Stewed old hen, braised lion's head, Longjing shrimp, sweet and sour tenderloin, fried chicken in sauce, Huadiao drunken chicken...... Of course, there are also bundles of hairy crabs, a plate of Australian lobster, a soft-shelled turtle, a roast suckling pig with a small apple in its mouth, and some seafood that Xiao Yao can't name and may or may not have seen these days.

Not only do they have a mouth-watering aroma, but they are piled up on the table and almost can't fit down, as if they are showing off something.

Xiao Yao frowned slightly, remembering the devil's feast he saw when he played Baldur's Gate, which was almost like this.

He saw Yu Texuan and Yu Baolu, but he couldn't see Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao glanced at the bald head who said "The eldest lady has arrived" suspiciously, and then looked at the white-bearded old man sitting at the innermost part of the round table, and finally chose not to ask.

"Grandpa Yu, Uncle Yu." Xiao Yao politely greeted the master.

At the very back of the table sat the two elegantly dressed old gentlemen. A thin old man was in good spirits, dressed in a tunic with a white goatee, with a kind demeanor, holding a teacup in his hand, smiling and savoring the mellow fragrance in the cup. Another uncle was wearing a suit, with a small head and beard, and his face was a little fierce, as if he wrote "Don't enter the living".

This person has a big waist and a round waist, and his head and beard are all gray and gray, which reminds Xiao Yao of Shen Hongsheng when they first met.

"Xiao Yao, little friend, I have been waiting for a long time." Yu Texuan stroked his goatee and said with a smile: "Sit, sit down." ”

The two bald heads had already pulled a chair by the door open, Xiao Yao nodded at them, sat down, and then, the two bald heads stood behind the old man like two iron towers, one left and one right.

"Want to have a drink? Take it yourself. Yu Texuan stretched out a hand to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao looked at the Moutai, Lao Huang wine, red wine written in incomprehensible foreign languages, Remy Martin, fruit orange and Sprite on the table, thought slightly, and poured himself a glass of 82-year-old Sprite.

The young man stood up, took the initiative to toast the second elder, drank the Sprite in the cup, and then sat down.

"Please!" Yu Texuan said, and together with Yu Baolu, he picked up the chopsticks.

Xiao Yao sat still and didn't move.

He saw that Yu Texuan and Yu Paul had no intention of praying before cooking, so he made a vertical and horizontal stroke on his chest, and chanted words in his mouth.

A look of satisfaction flashed in Yu Selection's eyes: "Can Xiao Yao Xiaoyou pray for us?" ”

Xiao Yao didn't answer him immediately, but waited for another five seconds, and after reciting Amen, he drew a cross again, and then raised his head and prepared to answer.

The appreciation on Yu Texuan's face added another half point: "Xiaoyou has the legacy of the Five Wounds Saint Francis. ”

Xiao Yao didn't know the story of the Five Wounds Saint Francis, so he had to say: "Grandpa Yu, Uncle Yu, you two are elders, how can you let the younger generation receive it?" ”

Yu Texuan smiled and said, "Look! There will be the last who will be the first, and there will be the first who will be the last. ”

Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Luke 13:30." ”

The look of surprise on Yu Texuan's face finally couldn't be hidden: "Xiaoyou is not simple, not simple!" ”

Yu Baolu frowned slightly.

Xiao Yao didn't immediately start praying, but just crossed his gaze over the faces of the two black-clothed bodyguards: "Please forgive me for taking the liberty of taking the liberty of being a parishioner, right?" ”

The four people on the opposite side looked at each other in pairs, and then Yu Texuan nodded.

"Since we are all brothers, all equal before God, why not invite them to sit down and eat together the food that the Lord has given us? So much to eat, the three of us ...... too"

Yu Paul's face changed, and he seemed to be about to lose his temper, but was stopped by Yu Texuan.

Xiao Yao was also secretly worried about whether he was using too much force, but fortunately, Yu Texuan just nodded slightly and said, "Xiaoyou's words are very true. ”

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced at the two bald heads.

The two bald heads looked at each other, and hesitantly walked to the other side of the table and sat down.

"In the name of the Father and the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen." Xiao Yao skillfully pronounced this prayer: "Lord, bless us and the food you have given us, and we thank you for all that you have given us." Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, and to this day, and forever, amen. ”

Yu Special Selection > Yu Paul & Bald People: "Amen! ”

The three of them raised their chopsticks, the two bald heads were still sitting stiffly, Yu Texuan glanced at them again, and they finally picked up the new chopsticks that the waiter had given them.

After the waiter left, he took the door with him. With that "click" sound, Yu Paul finally said the first sentence: "My father said that you have the legacy of St. Francis, you seem to be from St. Francis Middle School, right?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "It used to be a church school, and later it was changed to a public middle school. ”

Yu Baolu sneered.

"Oh," Yu said, "I'm in the same school as Big Sheep." ”

"Actually," Xiao Yao said, "it's a classmate." ”

"I see." Yu Texuan nodded.

"What is your future volunteer direction?" Compared to Yu's politeness, Yu Paul was unceremonious.

"Playful?" Xiao Yao said.

"Yes, it's very suitable for you," Yu Baolu said with a smile: "With your acting talent, you may have a future in this industry." ”

Of course, Xiao Yao understood that Yu Baolu was not praising him, but he had to laugh dryly.

Wait a minute, it's better not to push too hard, Xiao Yao thought.

Yu Texuan turned his head and glared at Yu Paul, and Yu Paul was silent.

"I heard from the dog, Xiaoyou is going to be baptized at Easter next year?" Yu asked while picking up vegetables.

"Yes." Xiao Yao secretly wondered in his heart, how could Yu Baolu know about this, and then he reacted, this dog should refer to Yu Bo.

"How did you come into contact with faith?" Yu asked him.

Xiao Yao knew that the Inquisition had just begun.

To this question, of course, you can't answer truthfully and say "for the sake of your granddaughter".

Xiao Yao came up with an answer that had been designed a long time ago.

"Chaowen said, you can die at night." Xiao Yao looked solemn and said in a deep voice.

When he saw Paul Yu's expression, he felt that he had used too much force again, so he quickly cleared his throat and said, "As for me, since I was a child, I have been a person who likes to think crankily, and I will think about some questions such as where I came from, where I am going, and the meaning of life. ”

"Oh?" Yu Texuan said.

He said the words he had said to Yu Lihua in chapter 186 almost again-what he had been thinking about since childhood, the fear of death, the purpose of the universe, and his obsession with atomic physics, quantum mechanics, and chemical string theory in junior high school.

"Later, when I was about the second year of junior high school, I felt that a world with God would be better," in order to further enhance his subjective initiative, Xiao Yao created a new plot: "In addition, I have liked to read Chinese and foreign world literature classics since I was a child, and I have come into contact with the elements of the church through some foreign masterpieces. At that time, I was in the small town of Dongru, and I couldn't find a church, and at that time, the Internet was not developed around 00 years, and I ran all over the Xinhua bookstores and private bookstores in Dongru, but I couldn't buy a Bible, so I had to buy a copy of Fang Long's "The Story of the Bible", which was regarded as a Bible, and it was two years at a glance. ”

Speaking of which, Fang Long's "The Story of the Bible" was accidentally discovered when he was a neighbor with Meiyu and visited Xinhua Bookstore with Shen Jie in the days when he was a neighbor.

Seeing the old man's moved and embarrassed expression, Xiao Yao felt a little morally guilty, but it was difficult to ride a tiger, so he had to finish making up this story: "Later, after coming to the magic capital in high school, once when I was eating in the cafeteria, I accidentally saw Yu Luying praying before cooking, so I accosted her. ”

In fact, Yu Luying doesn't do much prayer in school - do it? I can't remember exactly.

"Then she gave me the first Bible in my life," which was true: "and took me to the Sacré-Coeur Church across the street from the school, and then I got to know Bo...... Uh, Father Yu. Of course, it was also because of this incident, and she and I were both members of the Literature Club and the Poetry Club, so we gradually became friends first......"

"Alright, that's it." Yu Baolu interrupted him impatiently: "I asked how you came into contact with faith, not how you deceived our big sheep." ”

"Uncle Yu, what you said is a little inappropriate......" Xiao Yao thought for a while, feeling that it was better to fight for reason than to swallow his anger.

Yu Texuan raised his palm, stopped the two, and said, "Xiaoyou's sharing moved the old man. By the way, the old decay was suddenly invited today, I hope it is not too rude and disturbing? ”

Xiao Yao thought for a moment and replied: "Actually, to be honest, it was a little unexpected at first, but considering my relationship with Dayang, it wasn't so unexpected......"

"To be honest, for Lao Yu, the decision to invite you is also temporary and hasty," Yu Texuan stroked his white beard: "It's not a secret, during these days, Lao Yu has also been observing you." ”

Xiao Yao pretended to be surprised and let out an "ah", and then waited for him to continue.

"The old man saw a young man with a sincere heart," Yu Special Xuan explained, "Let the old man seem to see himself back then, hehehe." ”

"I'm flattered." Xiao Yao's sentence was the truth, because he didn't think Yu Texuan was saying polite words.

"You are a person, sometimes you are not very rude, but you are quite bold - you are the kind of person who can disregard the world's eyes for the right thing, and is willing to stand up and take practical actions," Yu Texuan commented: "Of course, your piety and decay are also seen in your eyes and joyed in your heart, your team leader, Mr. Li Teng, who taught you history, your roommates, and many campers and service staff in the logistics team, have a very good evaluation of you." ”

"I ...... I can't afford these reviews. Xiao Yao said sincerely and modestly.

At the same time, he began to have some doubts about whether his reputation was really as good as what Yu Texuan said, so much so that he began to suspect that the old man was just saying polite words.

"So Lao Yu wants to get to know Xiaoyou," Yu Texuan summed up: "No matter whether you and Da Yang can go to the end in the future, Lao Yu wants to make a New Year's friend with you." ”

Xiao Yao stood up, and Yu Texuan pressed down on his palm: "Sit, sit-you eat vegetables, don't stop talking." ”

Xiao Yao was indeed a little hungry, but he also relaxed a little at this time, and grabbed a few chopsticks and dishes.

"How long have you been with Big Sheep?" The unkind Inquisitor Yu Paul spoke again.

"If it is to determine the relationship and start to count," Xiao Yao said honestly, "Actually, it will ...... A month or so? We've been friends for about a year. ”

Yu Paul was just about to say something, but Yu Texuan had already picked up the conversation again: "Don't hide it from Xiaoyou, in addition to the intention to make friends and gossip together in this invitation, there is actually one more thing that Xiaoyou needs to help - because he really found that Xiaoyou is a reliable person, so he dared to make this request." ”

Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "Grandpa Yu, as an elder, you don't have to talk like this, it will make me feel distressed - if you have any instructions, please say it directly, as long as the younger generation can do it, you will definitely do it." ”

"Good!" Yu Texuan smiled happily: "During the time you were dating Da Yang, did she talk to you about her father?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded, "Judging from Yu Luying, uh, and some of her mother's descriptions, this father seems to be a ...... A person who is morally flawed. ”

It's bad, why can't you talk like an old man, and start to be half-literate?

"That's right," Yu Texuan stroked his white beard, and said with a serious expression: "The ancients, men are afraid of entering the wrong business, women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, this little girl, her experience is still shallow, it is easy to fall for others, at this time, we are elders, we must keep our eyes open, check for the children, and identify whether the son-in-law's character is correct. ”

"That's right, it's as it should be." Xiao Yao had no choice but to answer like this.

His afterglow caught a glimpse of Yu Baolu's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he felt that the old man also had something to say, and the heart that had just been put down a little was lifted up again.
