Chapter 554: The Helplessness of the Prophet
Chapter 554
Erfu took it with a smile, flipped through it casually, and said secretly: The scriptures are all good scriptures, but people may not be good people.
As she thought in her heart, all religious beliefs are to guide people to goodness, whether it is the local religion and Taoism in China, or the imported Buddhism, or Christianity, Catholicism, etc., which have just emerged on this continent, but people are like this, whether they believe in Buddhism or believe, it is always a sustenance in their hearts, or just to comfort their hearts, rather than really doing good deeds and doing good deeds according to the requirements of those gods, Buddhas and immortals.
"I'm going to definitely come and see it later. Pressing the chaotic thoughts in his heart, Erfu smiled and handed the booklet to the guzheng to hold, bowed lightly, and said softly.
James didn't say any more, and led Elof to visit the two wings, and even the kitchen of their church, he took Elof away, which made Elof a little helpless, and finally she was a little tired and wanted to leave first, which escaped the clutches of the enthusiastic James.
James took the glass of water handed back by Erf, looked at the holy water that had not been touched at all, and felt indescribable disappointment in his heart, but his face was still full of sincere smiles, holding the cross in both hands, and said to Erph: "Three ladies, the door of my church is open to you at any time, and I hope that the three of you will join our church." β
"Okay. Erf took a step back slightly, about a meter away from James, smiled and curted his knees, and said slowly.
To be honest, these Westerners are handsome in her eyes.
Blonde hair and blue eyes, deep eye sockets, a rare beard on the chin, and a sturdy physique that is very different from the Orientals, no matter how you look at it, it is no worse than those male protagonists in American dramas, but the smell on this body is not very good, a faint fox smell, with the smell of perfume, it is indescribably unpleasant, so for Erfu, these Westerners are the legendary ones who can only be watched from a distance, not blasphemed.
As soon as she dodged the foul smell that surrounded the tip of her nose, Erph saw James take another step forward, she waved her hand hurriedly, and shook her head and said, "You stay, we'll go first." β
After speaking, she didn't care about James's sluggish appearance of being struck by thunder, secretly pulled the same stunned Yaoqin and Guzheng, turned around and walked out of the door, but as soon as she reached the courtyard, she paused as if she was running away, and walked towards a flower bed surrounded by green bricks in the corner of the wall.
In the flower bed, among the purple and red spring flowers, the half-human-tall green leafy plants are hidden in them, which is very inconspicuous, but Erfu, who comes from modern times, recognizes that kind of plant at a glance.
This is a very beautiful flowering plant, whenever the flowers bloom, the pink and white snow petals, dotted in the green leaves, like a butterfly fluttering, when there is really a little fairy floating out.
Although this flower is not as fragrant as other flowers, it has a different kind of attraction, that is, it brings great benefits.
Opium, fortune-longevity-ointment, and sea-loin are all extracted from it.
Although its medicinal value is quite high, its addictive nature that makes it difficult to escape also puts it in this rather embarrassing situation, it is a plant that can grow like a weed in any barren land - yin-millet.
"Sir, the flowers here are blooming so beautifully!" Erph looked at the green leafy plants close at hand in front of him, his hands under his sleeves were clenched into fists, and even his body shook slightly, but his tone was extraordinarily calm, as if he was saying the most common words, and without looking back, he leaned over and picked a few spring flowers, and gave them to the guzheng and yaoqin, leaving the most beautiful hairpin on his sideburns, and said with a smile to James, who had the source of the unpleasant smell.
James's heart suddenly rose to her throat when Erff trotted to the edge of the flowerbed, for fear that the secret in the flowerbed would be discovered by her, and even had already made a look at his companion to cut down the grass and leave people here, but soon he shook his head at his companion very covertly.
Because he saw that Erfu didn't even look at the green leafy plant, he picked a spring flower in full bloom, and held it in his hand, a little daughter's posture, smiling and showing off with the two women who were traveling with him.
"The two of us came from abroad, and we are not very comfortable with many things here, and the church has just been established, and there are many things to be busy, how can we have the time to take care of these flowers and plants, and those children are kind, seeing that the yard is really desolate, they picked these flowers and plants and planted them, decorated the yard, so that the yard looks more vibrant, and even the things of watering and fertilizing do not need us to worry about, they will take the time to take care of it properly. James smiled and glanced at the obviously bald spring flowers in the flower bed, took a pair of flower scissors placed on the edge of the flower bed, and cut a few flowers of various colors, and his dexterous hand flew a few times like wearing flowers, then made a wreath and put it on Erf's head, and then took Erph's words and said with a smile.
"Thank you, sir, it's just a pity that these flowers are gone, otherwise they would have bloomed for a long time. Erfu casually took off the wreath on her head, looked at the small flowers, smiled a little embarrassedly, and bowed her head and said.
"Ma'am, you're so kind, these flowers are meant to be picked for people to enjoy, and if little girls come here on weekdays, Kyle and I will pick a few for them to wear. β
This is said by James that it can't be faked anymore.
The two of them were afraid that others would notice the secrets in the flower beds, so they would remind them to come here to read every time. Literate children, not allowed to be naughty, not allowed to pick flowers to play, life is equal, even if it is those flowers and plants, it is also a life, if it cannot be easily harmed, just with the size of the monkeys here, where can such a beautiful flower bed be left, but beauties are privileged, so James saw that Ellef liked those flowers, so he did not feel distressed to pick a large handful of flower branches and weaved a wreath for her, and also hoped that she would not go to see the flower bed again.
"Then more James.
It's not early, and when I came, I saw that you two were also busy, so I didn't bother much. Erf, who was afraid that he would show his hatred if he stayed any longer, also took this opportunity to say goodbye with a smile.
For Erfu's tossing and turning behavior, Guzheng and Yaoqin said that they were used to it, and without even a little hesitation, they accompanied Erfu out of the wooden door that was still wide open.
Of course, when they went out, they didn't forget to return the glass to James.
Sitting on the soft sedan chair hired at the corner of the street, under the urging of Erfu, the group rushed all the way out of the alley, until they reached the main street, she heard the noisy cries again, Erfu lifted the sedan curtain, and threw the garland that had been out of shape in his hand with a disgusted face, looked at the direction of the down-to-earth church from afar, and whispered coldly: "If it is not my race, its heart will be different, and the ancients will not deceive me!"
Yaoqin ran with a sweat, and finally waited until the sedan chair slowed down, bowed her head and panted for breath when she was hunched over her waist and lost her demeanor, and suddenly heard Erfu speak, but she didn't hear it clearly, but for these servants, the master's order is like a starting gun, even if it is to solve the three urgent problems, you have to immediately hold back, run over to serve, where can you not care about her image is a little embarrassing, so she came to the side of the sedan chair and asked in a low voice: "Master, what did you say?"
"It's nothing!" Erfu didn't want to talk about these problems on the street, shook his head slightly, and said casually, and then noticed that Yaoqin and Guzheng were both red-faced and panting and embarrassed, and also realized that she had just let the sedan chair run too fast, and was a little embarrassed, so she glanced around and pointed to a teahouse in the corner of the street, and told the porter to lean over there, planning to let Guzheng and Yaoqin rest with her in the past, and by the way, let her have a quiet place to sort out the messy thoughts in her mind.
In modern times, there is a saying on the Internet, ask Gu Ge if you don't decide on foreign affairs, and ask Bai Du if you don't decide on internal affairs, but here, Gu Ge and Bai Du don't exist, when she has no idea, she can only ponder in her heart, and it is also a loss that the fourth master has always trusted her, otherwise she has an unstable temperament with her pig brain and her thoughts, and I really don't know how many times she has died.
Of course, this does not rule out that the other women in the Fourth Master's Mansion are quite kind, or that they all want to leave her as a stupid person to set off their cleverness, of course, it is not excluded that it is because she is a serious royal daughter-in-law who has fallen on the jade, and it is not easy to exchange it casually, which allowed her to save this life.
I have to say that Erf's brain circuit is very different from ordinary people, and he can actually get crooked to such a problem even when he is thinking about something very nervous.
In this regard, Erfu despised herself fiercely in her heart, sat in the sedan chair and rolled her eyes, and at the same time threw out all the messy thoughts in her head, planning to go back and tell the fourth master the truth, there are many capable people under the fourth master, someone must be able to recognize that thing, and they must be able to find out the bad intentions of James and Kyle.
Erf, who had made up her mind, also muttered to herself, "Those who can work harder." I put this matter behind me very unreliably, and I don't remember that she had promised herself to be the umbrella of her two children.
"Okay, let's stop here, you two have worked hard!" Slowly getting off the sedan chair, Erfu smiled and motioned to Yaoqin to send a string of copper coins as a reward, and said softly with a little embarrassment, "This little money, let's make a tea money for the two of you." β
This is definitely not that Erfu is too loose to throw money out, so she will not do this kind of behavior to destroy the market, but she is really embarrassed that she desperately urged the two porters before, and the reward has become a habit, which made Yaoqin send a string of twenty copper coins to make tea money.
Seeing the two porters carrying the empty sedan chair away with a smile, Erfu pointed to the three-story teahouse with the eaves and arches in front of him, greeted the two of Shangyaoqin and Guzheng, and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go in and rest together, and wait a while, I will take you to eat delicious food, so that you know what it means to be a master in the people." β
After speaking, Erfu ignored Yaoqin and Guzheng's dumbfounded funny expressions, pinched the hem of her skirt with three fingers, and swaggered towards the teahouse.
Located on the edge of the West City, this three-storey teahouse, the famous taste building, can be regarded as a high-consumption place, in and out of the place are the nobles who ride horses and sit in the sedan chair, the little guy who is waiting at the door, that is also used to seeing the big scene, suddenly saw a woman wearing a muslin dress, and seemed to be the second in the world The woman walked straight in, and was really stunned in place, and even forgot to come forward to say hello, or Erfu impatiently pulled the voice of Xiao Er'er to call back his mind.
The young man who took back the shopkeeper's eye knife, not to mention hating Erfu, a dirt bun in a muslin dress, came to him, and did not have a good tone, quite a bit of a dog-eyed person pinched his eyeballs and squinted Erfu, and said in a strange manner: "This lady, are you here to find someone?"
In fact, when Erfu saw the people in the teahouse, she regretted coming in a little.
Because of the muslin cloth on her, Yaoqin, and Guzheng, The coarse linen dress really doesn't match the atmosphere here, but she is no longer the hard-working monk party, and she is also used to giving orders from the superiors, and she has eaten delicious food and satin, and she has not worn silk and satin, so she didn't feel too embarrassed, and chose to withdraw in a panic, but she was a little dissatisfied with the behavior of the little second child in the teahouse watching people put down the dishes, which would be rude to yell and scream, deliberately making the shopkeeper who was busy behind the counter notice that something was wrong here.
I have to say that Erfu is still quite funny sometimes, and was sneered at by the shopkeeper, and replied lukewarmly, "Heh, I bet you can only be a waiter in your life." Then he turned his head and walked into the teahouse, no longer looked at the shopkeeper who was so angry that his face was flushed, looked at the carved hollow wooden counter that was very exquisite, looked at the shopkeeper wearing a fragrant cloud gauze robe, and swept his fingers in the direction of the red-faced little second brother, and asked lightly: "Is there a talking person next to me to come to serve, I don't want to look at that disgusting face anymore!"
When asked about the shopkeeper on the head, it was a character who traveled south and north, and was accustomed to seeing all kinds of people, and it was obvious at a glance that although Erfu was dressed inconspicuously, his temperament was indeed extraordinary, and he was naturally not as reckless as the little second brother, and he walked out from behind the counter without even stumbling, raised his hand and greeted a big guy who had always been steady, and said with a smile: "The distinguished guest is a female dependent, sitting downstairs, I'm afraid it will be a little inconvenient, it is better for Qi to let this little brother take a few upstairs to rest." β
"Come on, then let's go up and sit down for a while!" Hearing this, Erfu looked back at Yaoqin and Guzheng with a smile, and said loudly, casually took out two golden melon seeds from the sachet on his waist, and rewarded them to the big guy later, and at the same time did not forget to glance at the young man who despised her at the door defiantly.
Erfu's behavior fell in Yaoqin's eyes, and she felt that her master was really naΓ―ve, and even lost her identity, but she didn't know that Erfu was venting her heart in this way, as a person who knew the future direction, but couldn't talk to others.
