() After walking out of the coffee shop, just as he was about to get on his horse, an acquaintance walked out of the shadowy corner of the house. It was the head waiter whose smile was uglier than his tears.

He said: "Sir, can you please come over?"

I asked Alexander and the others to wait, then walked over in confusion. At the gate, this man handed me a letter!

"For me?" I asked strangely.

The foreman said: "Yes. Please accept it."

"What's inside?"

Maybe I didn't accept the letter right away. The foreman immediately said, "I'm sorry, I don't know. I'm just responsible for passing it on to you."

On horseback, I opened the letter in front of everyone. There was only a short line written in beautiful small handwriting. The person who gave me the letter wanted to make an appointment with me in the Square of Constantine. The time happened to be meeting a married woman.

after the service of the sacraments.

"Is it a challenge to a duel?" Morris asked eagerly.

I smiled and collected the letter before asking, "What? Do you want to go to the appointment for me?"

Morris nodded: "I promise to help you beat that guy until he doesn't even recognize his mother!"

"Go on, do you know that it's a man?" I smiled angrily, "This must have been sent by some aristocratic lady who was determined to give up. As for why you chose me? Probably because I'm more handsome!"

Not long after I felt complacent, I saw Constans curl his lips in disapproval: "It seems that the tastes of those noble ladies are not very good either."

"You are so nakedly jealous and envious!"

That guy is like that, more narcissistic than me.

Seeing that the fight was fueling the fire, Alexander stopped the momentum at this moment: "Okay, it's getting late. Let's go home and see you after serving the sacraments."

"See you after the sacrament."

Not long after Maurice and Valens left together in twos and threes, Alexander continued to speak. He really asked everyone to leave first because he had something to do.

Alexander said: "Tomorrow is the day to serve the sacrament. My father wants you to serve the sacrament with that woman at St. Irina's Cathedral. I will take you out today to meet so many girls of noble birth.

Feeling better.”

I replied: "It's okay."

Alexander nodded and continued: "Then what do you plan to do tomorrow?"

"It all depends on the other person's appearance." I saw Alexander was startled when he heard this and explained, "Look, I'm not a saint. I can't find an ugly monster to accompany me for the rest of my life. He will be in front of my eyes every day.

, even if it doesn’t disgust me to death, I will still be laughed to death by others.”

I'm probably a pervert, but I didn't say that there are no good people among perverts, but the problem is that good people don't mean they have masochistic tendencies. If that 25-year-old wife is even more miserable than Sister Feng, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to help but do it.

Beating people, and then humanely destroying them afterwards, is a small contribution to the beautification of human genes.

"What if she is really an ugly girl? You can't ignore your father's orders." Alexander had a headache.

"Then there is no other way out. I will first find a way to seize that woman's network, and then let her have some minor accidents. When she dies, I can get a large inheritance as long as my hands and feet are cleaner.

Some of it fell into our family's pockets.

At that time, even if my father wanted to beat or scold him, he would always be there for me. Anyway, I couldn't be asked to bury her with her." This is not just nonsense. My tolerance level is at the level of Sister Feng. If she is really worse than Sister Feng,

Too bad, I can only say I'm sorry.

Alexander patted me on the shoulder sincerely: "Thank you for your hard work!"

"It's nothing. Anyway, I will get married sooner or later. It's actually not bad to send a rich woman this time. Look, aren't we short of funds? By getting that rich woman, not only will the gap be filled, but we will also be able to maintain it in the future.

Funds for legion operations are also secured, and you don’t have to look at my father’s face! It’s the best of both worlds.” I don’t mind being a pretty boy.

There was a strange flash in Alexander's eyes: "You don't look disappointed at all. What? Could it be that you already knew that woman was beautiful?"

"It shouldn't be too bad." I said with full heart. "It took me a little effort to overturn the previous idea. She should be a beauty, but she may not be easy to deal with."

The next day, the day of service of the Blessed Sacrament.

The Eastern Orthodox sacrament is actually the Catholic Mass. The two are similar to the Protestant services. The difference is that the first two have many rituals, which usually have to be done until noon, and they cannot be eaten for a period of time before the sacrament is held.

thing.

It's a very cruel setting. When I first came here a few years ago, I often thought about opening a fried chicken wings shop on the street opposite the church, and blowing the wind in while the people inside were hungry and serving the sacraments.

But now I am used to being hungry. Since today is a special day, Cheap Daddy asked a court etiquette instructor to come over and help me choose clothes. The palace etiquette instructor is a very picky person.

I no longer wear the breeches I wore before. A white button-down silk shirt and a dark-colored double-breasted robe seemed too casual. In the end, I was given a very popular champagne-colored brocade robe with a belted trim and a waist. It looked like a big girl.

The kind of robe worn outside the Kingdom of Heaven starring handsome boy Orlando, but this robe is not from

It was covered from head to toe, but it was like a windbreaker at the back, with two rows of buttons opened for fastening, and then a belt was tied on the outside. The palace etiquette instructor took a look at my dozens of belts.

I chose a plant and flower to decorate, saying that it was based on his nighttime observation of the sky. Today, my lucky plant is a flower and flower.

I rolled my eyes at this guy.

Astrology has always been popular in Dongluo. After thousands of years of continuous systematic filling, it has long become something as mysterious as Feng Shui. And this attendant is a senior expert in astrology.

After picking out the colorful belts, he brought me two layers of high-collared gown and a pair of trousers of the same color inside. After he helped me tighten the belt, he put on the epaulettes, ribbons, and stripes.

After putting on a pair of undyed black cowhide boots, I walked to the floor-length mirror and took a look. I saw that the standard attire of a wealthy Roman man in the 18th century was very good. Of course, it would be nice if he were taller. For that 25-year-old man

The wife comes to save the beauty with a hero, and then the probability of a plot involving her being married to him is as high as 90%!

After finishing this, I went to say goodbye to the two people who were listening to the private priest perform the sacrament in the church at home. By the time I walked out of the palace, the sun had already risen over the walls of Constantinople, and there were some pedestrians on the cool street.

.

An invisible carriage drove over leisurely.

Stepping onto the carriage, listening to the sound of two attendants climbing up the sides, I closed my eyes again and quietly enjoyed the clear morning light.

As a result, I fell asleep accidentally...

When I woke up, St. Irina's Cathedral was not far away, and further away, bustling crowds were filing into the church door.

The wooden door of the carriage was opened by the attendant, and I smiled sheepishly at the attendants on both sides.

St. Irina's Cathedral, this is where I served the sacrament. I remember that this cathedral seemed to have the name of this building in the early historical records of Constantinople in the 5th or 6th century AD.

The church is rectangular, with a colonnade on the outside. The main entrance is on the long side, and there are transepts on the short side.

It uses strip arches as the roof. It is a very standard Basilica building in the ancient Byzantine style. It is huge and magnificent, but it is no longer magnificent. No building can maintain its original appearance after thousands of years, even if it is frequently renovated. Today's huge stone exterior walls have endured for a long time.

With the baptism of time, the whole church is filled with the atmosphere of vicissitudes of life.

I got off the carriage, walked through a small road, and finally came to the door of the church. A solemn and sacred atmosphere greeted me along with hymns sung in Greek.

The colorful flower windows bloomed with brilliant brilliance, and the huge chandeliers were glowing with fire. In front of the prayer class, the bishop wore a dome hat on his head, a silver robe, an icon on his chest, and a pastoral staff in his hand.

Standing on the podium, below him were rows and rows of black benches.

A long time ago, the Orthodox Church did not have chairs when serving the sacrament. People who came to the church had only two choices, standing or kneeling. But now, the Orthodox Church has chairs. This is undoubtedly something created by my predecessor.

"Is our Roman Empire so poor that we can't even put up a chair? Or are you monks so stingy that you can't even afford to buy a chair?"

This is the record of the predecessor's original words. Just like every person who was born as a warlord and reached the position of emperor, the predecessor always had to struggle a few times to find a target that he could win over and attack in order to completely regain the hearts and minds of the entire empire. And after being cross

After being looted by the army and wavering on Christianity, the church was the best target. However, he failed to create something like the iconoclasm movement, which was similar to the Cultural Revolution, to attack the power of the church. Unfortunately, he was lucky that he did not marry a

Brainless wife.

It is really important to have a good wife. Look at the Isaurian dynasty that was established in the eighth century. The famous iconoclasm movement occurred during this period. This dynasty, which only existed for a century, was a story about the confrontation between the emperor and the church.
