boudoir dream talk

In the autumn of 1899, in Northwest Shandong, the anti-religious movement led by Zhu Hongdeng began to appear on the stage. On September 9, a civil-religious conflict broke out in Pingyuan County in northwest Shandong. Jiang Kai, the magistrate of Pingyuan County, went to suppress it. On October 17, Zhu Hongdeng led two 10 Boxers from Gaotang, Chiping, Changqing and other places to Pingyuan County.Zhu Hongdeng formed an orderly team and officially erected the banner of "World Boxing, Prosper Qing Dynasty and Destroy Foreign Countries". On the 9th, Jiang Kai, the magistrate of the county, led dozens of brave soldiers to suppress it.Zhu Hongdeng commanded the boxers to defeat Jiang Kai.Jiang Kai asked his superiors to send troops. On the 300th, Lu Changyi, the prefect of Jinan, and Yuan Shidun, the deputy commander, led troops to persuade Zhu Hongdeng to disband at first.Zhu Hongdeng moved after the robbery. On the evening of the 11th, he led a regiment of more than 16 people to move to Senluo Hall, preparing to attack the churches of Liuwangzhuang and Pangzhuang in the west of En County. On the 17th, Zhu Hongdeng led a group of people to fight with 2000 Qing troops who came to suppress them in Senluo Temple. After several hours of fierce fighting, they killed and wounded more than ten Qing soldiers.In this battle, the Boxers called themselves "Boxer" for the first time, and since then this title has become more and more frequent...

The Forbidden City, located in the center of the capital, was hit hard by the failure of the Reform Movement of [-]. The ministers of the court were distracted and hurriedly stood in line for their own way out. The conservatives were afraid that Guangxu would "lose" Lafayette Cixi after he gained power. They scrambled to argue for their own interests Striving hard, suppressing the Reform Movement and the Westernization Movement, Cixi's ruling center was biased towards her direct line, and Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and others who were able to do things were marginalized.The rebels of the Reform Movement of [-] attempted to murder Empress Dowager Cixi but failed. The foreigners did not help but helped, which angered the old woman in the palace.In the end, the four brothers of Tang Degang, Prince Zailian, Duanjun Wang Zaiyi, Fuguogong Zailan, and Prince Zhuang Zaixun, became Cixi's most trusted family members. People in the imperial court fawned one after another for fear of falling behind.

Zai Kun is a minority. He is of the same family as these four princes, but he is not of the same kind. At first he supported Westernization and political reform, but at the age of 22, he does not have enough official experience and is too arrogant. If Defang stopped him, I'm afraid he would end up with a fate now.Seeing his friend beheaded at Caishikou, he was filled with grief and indignation. Their childishness and ignorance ruined the lives of these people, and also made the bustling reforms end in failure. Perhaps this is the last chance for the Qing Dynasty to establish a constitutional monarchy Bar?

Swearing at the world, heartbroken, useless, the head is still on the neck, and without the head, nothing can be done.So, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao ran away!And he gave up completely, and lived the happy life of the Eight Banners disciples again.

"Master Baylor, Er Gege is here." The skinny, hunchbacked butler Lao Zhou came in to report. He had been working in Baylor's mansion for ten years. Grandpa is a good master.

"Let Fujin accompany you first, I'll be there in a while." He stared intently at the Western clock placed on the desk. This is a gadget he has collected recently. It is very exquisite and made in the British Empire.

The gold-plated clock dial and pendulum, the scales are inlaid with rhinestones, and there is a melodious music sound every time the time is struck. There is an angel in white clothes carved on the side of the clock dial, with his arms open upwards and his head raised, quietly closing his eyes. That face was peaceful and beautiful, and he couldn't get enough of it, but in reality, foreigners didn't look like this. Their arrogance made Zai Kun very disgusted.

"Gege said I'm waiting for you to go out together!" Lao Zhou said again, Lord Baylor has been depressed a lot recently because of the political reform. How can you not understand when you grow up?What is the reason for a handsome seven-foot man to be rich and rich? Isn't it just to make contributions and contribute to the country?

Zai Kun doesn't look like his own family, but more like the old Fujin Guerjia family. The Guerjia family originally produced beautiful women, so the princes and Baylors will give priority to choosing the girls of the Guerjia family as wives.

Lord Belle inherited his mother's full forehead, big aura-like eyes, deep eye sockets, sword eyebrows and a graceful high nose bridge. His smile is particularly charming, but his face and burly figure are like the prince himself. The advantages of his parents are all let Zai Kun Collected, he was the most popular child in the family since he was a child, and he became more graceful when he became an adult, with both the refined demeanor of a literati and the sturdy physique of a full man, so in the past few years, there have been constant peach blossoms, women see He seems to have lost his soul, and every time he visits a brothel, he is greeted by the crowd!

"Oh, I remembered. She asked me to go to mass with her. Hey, why did I agree that day? Come on, you told Fujin that I would not come back for dinner." Since he promised his sister, he couldn't go back on his word. Go to the front door to play when you come back, and save him from thinking about annoying things.

After he finished speaking, he took the coat handed by the butler, and walked out of the study quickly.

When I came to the door, my elder sister Defang was already waiting for me in the carriage. She was full of luxury in a foreign dress, and she was still pretty after thirty. She was often pursued by foreigners, but she didn't want to remarry again.

"Why don't you change into a suit? It looks like you're walking in Bada Hutong." She blamed her younger brother.

"I don't believe in religion, I just want to accompany you. Besides, I really want to go shopping later." He got into the carriage and smiled at his sister.

"I don't care about you... There is a new priest named Kelso in the diocese. He speaks Chinese very well and is welcomed by the parishioners." Defang said to himself. The priest not only preaches, but also helps the parishioners solve some problems in life. The problem of free medicine and regular Shimi is quite popular.

"In the past, Castiglione was also a missionary. He could speak Chinese fluently, but he was just a painter." Although he knew that Western civilization was ahead of the curve, he just didn't like the arrogance of foreigners. Is it also because they can't understand what foreigners are doing in the countryside?

"I've never seen the priest paint, but he's really good at playing the piano and singing hymns, especially when he's at mass, the sun shining on his handsome face looks like an angel!" She said blankly, although I have long lost confidence in men, but I still admire the clergymen floating on the clouds. Things that can only be seen but not touched are perfect.

"Oh my god, sister, you must be a demon, hurry up and find a man to marry!" He sighed, but it was the first time for his sister to praise a man like this, and it seemed that the priest was not extraordinary.

"I like being a widow. Besides, I already have sons, so what do I need a man for?" She sighed leisurely. Although being a widow for five years was difficult, she gradually got used to it. Apart from going to church, and While socializing with friends, she spends more time on her son, hoping that he can be an upright man in the future and not be submissive.

The carriage arrived at Xishiku Church in a short while. The expanded new church is very magnificent, and the white spire is shining in the sun. Because today is Sunday, there are many people who come to the mass. Chinese and Westerners stuff the chapel It was full, and changed from the deserted old priest sitting in the past.

"Defang Gege, good morning, who is this?" A blond lady came over to say hello with a smile, followed by two old Chinese women.

"Hello, Mrs. Marilyn, he is my younger brother Zai Kun, who accompanied me to mass today." She quickly introduced to Marilyn, the other party is the wife of the ambassador, she has a special status, she must be very careful every time she speaks .

"Oh, your brother is such a handsome gentleman!" In Marilyn's impression, the men among the Manchu royal family were all thin and thin, but today's one is tall and mighty, which made her a little moved.

"Hello, ma'am!" Although he is not a Westernization school, he still understands the basic etiquette, and hastily bowed like a gentleman.But he always felt that the hat worn by this woman was like the pheasant he went to the hunting ground to hunt. With the hooked nose and pointed chin, he didn't think it reminded him of Lei Gong in the list of gods. The perfume on the lady was too strong. It was so strong that he couldn't help frowning and held his breath.

"Hello!" The ambassador's wife was a little excited, and entered the church while chatting with the brothers and sisters. They found a seat near the front and sat down.The mass hadn't started yet, and the believers hadn't arrived yet. The hall was full of noise, like a party.

Zai Kun felt a little bored, so he got up and went around to visit. Although he didn't plan to join the church, he didn't want to give up the opportunity to appreciate artworks. He still liked the paintings and sculptures of foreigners.

He walked to the back of the auditorium, admiring the oil paintings with religious themes in the corridor, and at the door of a room, he saw a priest talking patiently to four Chinese monks, the Catholic Church often adopts Chinese Some of the abandoned babies became their loyal believers, and these four children probably belonged to them.

"It's okay if you can't memorize the Nicene Creed. Believers can memorize scriptures fluently. We priests can't be sloppy. You are all the Lord's children. You have come here by the grace and inspiration of the Lord. You must practice it yourself. , Don't be negligent, recite it with me now... I believe in the only God, the Almighty Father, and all things in the world, whether visible or invisible, are created by him.

I believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God.He was born of the Father before all ages.He is God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God.He was born of the Father, not created by the Father, and of the same nature as the Father, and all things were created through him.He came down from heaven for us human beings and for our salvation.He became man by the Holy Spirit, incarnated by the Virgin Mary.He was crucified, suffered and buried for us during the reign of Pilate Pilate.He rose again on the third day, just as the Bible says.He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, Lord and Giver of life, co-produced by the Father and the Son.He was honored and honored with the Father and the Son, and he spoke through the prophets.

I believe in one, most holy, catholic, apostolic Church.I confess the baptism of forgiveness of sins, there is but one.I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and life in the world to come.Amen. He lowered his eyes slightly, and led the little monks to recite scriptures. His expression was amiable, completely opposite to the teacher's sternness, and on the contrary, it was more acceptable.

Zai Kun stood aside without moving, his eyes were completely attracted by the priest's beautiful side face, the sunlight from the skylight of the church shone on the other's peaceful face, as if he was blessed by holy light, he couldn't help but think of the priest at home The angel sculpture is so similar, and the calm and graceful expression is exactly the same.

The priest's pupils are emerald green, and look more like emerald gemstones from the side. The long eyelashes are like a layer of mist, making the pupils more intoxicating. Like a golden thread, he seemed to see not a person in a trance, but a fairy living in the sky.The priest is tall and slender, and the black cassock fits perfectly, which highlights his beautiful waist. The raised neckline hides his white neck. There is a kind of ascetic beauty, which fascinates Zai Kun!

The priest led them to read the scriptures, and then smiled easily: "Come to recite John's Apocalypse together at night?"

"Yes, Father." The children replied. Their home is the church, and if they were not taken in here, they would be wandering on the streets, in peril.Therefore, it can be said that they obey the priest's words. It is not difficult for them to recite scriptures, learn Latin, and do spiritual practice, but they can no longer play as much as children of the same age. Their words and deeds are strictly restricted. Be humble, simple, and polite, because the church hopes that they can grow into real priests in the future.

"Get ready, Mass is about to begin." He told the monks to leave, but he wanted to drink some water so as not to be thirsty for a while.

When he turned around, he happened to meet Baylor's gaze. He was stunned for a few seconds, and then habitually avoided, because it was impolite to look at people like that.But is this Chinese a new believer?He looks like he should be a son of a wealthy family. If there are new believers coming here, they will be recommended by old believers. As a priest, of course, he can't ignore them and must guide them.

Seeing the priest's gaze shifted slightly, Zai Kun took a step forward and introduced himself politely: "Hello, Father, I am Zai Kun, and Defang is my sister." etiquette to get acquainted with each other.

"So it's Lord Baylor, I'm sorry, I often hear Gege talking about you, I'm Father Kelso." He said hurriedly, bowing respectfully, Defang Gege's younger brother is a well-educated nobleman, but he didn't expect Also a handsome character, Zai Kun is more masculine than the weak Emperor Guangxu.

"There is no need for red tape. I am here with my sister today. Would you like to preside over this mass?" Zai Kun felt that the other party's voice was also very pleasant, as if singing Kunqu opera. Although the Chinese has a foreign accent, the wording The tone of voice is very decent, without the unattainable arrogance of ordinary foreigners.

"Yes, thank you for coming, and may the Lord bless you!" Although Lord Baylor was wearing a dark blue satin full suit and black boots on his feet, he was not in line with religious believers, but it was a good sign that he came From the very beginning, he also subtly persuaded, let the light of the Lord shine on this man, and another soul will be illuminated and reborn.

"I don't come here to believe in religion, but I just like the sculptures and paintings in the church, and I just want to visit!" Zai Kun said bluntly, there were Christian missionaries who came to lobby him, and he couldn't handle it, so he closed the door to thank the guests. I hope the other party doesn't want to do this too, then he really can't bear it.

The answer was not as expected by Kelso. It was not easy for a Manchu royal family to change their beliefs, but they did like Western artworks very much, and they usually had good self-cultivation. The church needed such high-quality believers.

"You are welcome to visit at any time, and I hope we can be friends!" Now it is time to let go of the status of a priest and communicate with Lord Baylor on an equal footing. After a long time, perhaps Zai Kun can become a believer.

"I hope so too!" Zai Kun said happily, now he feels that not all foreigners are so uncomfortable.
