044 What it's like to molest a priest at Christmas
When An Ning took Napoleon home, the carriage sent by Christina had already arrived.
Fanny stood beside the carriage and showed an expression of "I knew it" when she saw Napoleon.
An Ning: "Do you have any objections to my friend?"
"No. I'm just a maid. How dare I have an opinion against my master's friend."
Napoleon: "Your maid seems to have a problem with me."
An Ning: "No, she said it herself. She doesn't dare to have any objections to the master's friends. Come and get in the car."
Fanny: "Miss Christina and her friends are worshiping in the church. Should we go to the church together, or should we wait at the manor for the miss to return?"
An Ning thought about it and felt that France was a Catholic country after all, so it was unreasonable not to go to church on Christmas.
So he said: "Go to church. It's been a long time since I went to church to pray."
Napoleon was surprised and said: "You actually go to church?"
An Ning: "I am a devout Catholic."
"Come on." Napoleon shook his head and said, "If you are a devout Catholic, I will be a loyal subject of the King of France."
An Ning laughed loudly: "Don't say that, I still have to show up. Today is Christmas after all. Come on, get in the car."
After saying that, An Ning got into the car first, followed closely by Napoleon, and Fanny got up last.
The carriage took them to the largest church in Brienne.
Many local nobles who came to worship had gathered at the church. As soon as these people saw the carriage with the Duke of Orleans' coat of arms approaching, they immediately stepped forward and wanted to get close to each other. However, when they saw An Ning getting out of the carriage, they froze in place.
An Ning put on a condescending air and greeted the local nobles as if he were the Duke himself.
Although Fanny's face was filled with the desire to complain, she still served An Ning faithfully.
Napoleon was not as natural as this pair of masters and servants. He was very energetic and put on an aloof air, just like a toy tin soldier.
An Ning heard some local nobles chattering: "How come the Duke's family got together with this Corsican old man?"
"Who knows? Maybe the Duke took a fancy to that place in Corsica and planned to turn it into his own fiefdom."
An Ning thought to herself, these people are indeed rural aristocrats, and they still hold feudal ideas and seize fiefdoms. Do they still think this is the Middle Ages?
In a few years, these country nobles will probably become street lamp pendants.
The urban revolution and the rural revolution of the French Revolution were two different things. In the urban revolution, the progressive aristocrats still had the opportunity to become new aristocrats, while the rural aristocrats were much more unlucky. The peasants who could not survive graciously sent the rural aristocrats to the gallows.
They started a fight, and then burned all the feudal land deeds found in the noble houses.
However, a few years later, the peasants remembered the kindness of the nobles and joined the rebellion launched by the royalists, killing revolutionaries everywhere.
I can only say that this era is so magical.
An Ning led Napoleon and Fanny all the way into the church, and happened to see Christina with a group of noble ladies.
Christina was wearing a gorgeous blue dress, and she was as beautiful as a fairy in the lake. Although the noble girls from the countryside around her also tried their best to dress up, they could tell at a glance that she was on a different level from Christina.
When Christina saw An Ning, she immediately said "Sorry" to several noble ladies, and then ran towards An Ning with her skirt in hand: "Andy!"
When she arrived in front of An Ning, she stopped suddenly, stood up straight and put on a dignified air, and extended her hand to An Ning.
An Ning held her hand and kissed the back of it gently: "My Miss Christina, today you are the most beautiful flower in the world."
Christina smiled from ear to ear, and then she saw Napoleon behind An Ning.
"Uh," Christina paused, obviously recalling Napoleon's name, and then stretched out her hand to Napoleon, "Hello, Mr. Bonaparte."
Napoleon held Christina's hand stiffly: "Hello, Miss Tolestell, you are so beautiful today."
It can be heard that Napoleon is trying hard to avoid a Corsican accent in his pronunciation.
But this effort unfortunately failed.
There were already people laughing around.
But Christina didn't care about this, but smiled and said to Napoleon: "Thank you. I heard that you and Andy are very good friends..."
An Ning: "It should be said that he is the only person in the entire Brienne Military Academy who treats me as a friend."
Christina smiled even brighter: "Really? Thank you so much. I was worried that Andy, a civilian, wouldn't be able to make friends in the military school. I even wanted to go directly from the cavalry class to the infantry class. I'm looking for him."
An Ning: "No, as soon as you show up in front of the infantry department classroom, our group will probably be unable to help but form a square formation."
Christina laughed.
After laughing, she said: "By the way, didn't our cavalry department go to help you with class that day? I saw you. It seems that your answer was praised by the instructor?"
An Ning: "Yes, while the instructor praised me, he didn't forget to ridicule me for being a civilian."
Christina sighed: "How could this be? You have received a medal after all. In the era of Louis XIV, you would have been given a noble title."
An Ning: "Although it is only the lowest knight title."
"But that's also a noble title."
An Ning: "Okay, I'm not interested in noble titles or anything like that. Have you finished the service? Let's go back to the manor."
Christina: "I'm done... But it's not good for you to leave right after you arrived. Why don't you pray? At least make a show of it?"
An Ning raised her eyebrows: "Okay, I'll go pray..."
At this time An Ning saw the door of the confessional opened and a man dressed as an aristocrat came out.
So he said, "Let me go to the confessional."
It's not that An Ning has done anything guilty and needs to confess. He wants to go to the confessional, mainly out of curiosity. After all, in the future, he has read a lot of confessional-themed books, and the nuns in them are so awesome.
An Ning said goodbye to Christina and entered the confession room.
This is a very small cubicle. There is a wooden grille in front of the cubicle. Behind the grille is a dark area. You can vaguely see the priest's robe and the cross on the robe.
The old priest's voice came from beyond the grille: "My child, the Lord will hear your confession."
An Ning lost half of her interest when she heard it was a man's voice.
If it's not a big-breasted nun sister, I'm not interested.
So An Ning said: "I came here with a question. Can God create a stone that he cannot lift?"
The priest opposite:???
…
Ten minutes later, the priest was sweating profusely and fled.
An Ning left the confessional room with satisfaction.
Cristina: "What exactly did you say to the priest?"
An Ning: "Ah, I asked him if God could create a stone that he couldn't lift."
Christina looked confused: "What's wrong with this question? Of course God can create it, He is omnipotent."
Apparently Christina didn't turn the corner.
At this time, Napoleon burst out laughing: "Hahahaha, that's it. Andy, you are such a genius! This paradox is awesome!"
