Miss, you are my future wife

Chapter 309 Heresy Inquisition?

*This chapter is also called "Hongmen Banquet? "

Xiao Yao just visited and chatted with Shen Jie at the pier, and didn't pay much attention to his cousin Xiao Er who had quietly stood up - no wonder, after all, it had been a long time since they were so close.Now that he was sitting in the car, he realized that Xiao Er's head was a little wet, and he couldn't help but feel embarrassed for him.

Of course, he didn't have time to think about that right now.

Bach's tune echoed in the car - it seemed to be "Aria on the G String", Xiao Yao listened to Yu Luying play it.There is also a driver in black clothes (good luck, this one has hair) sitting in the driver's seat.The car drove smoothly, and none of the three men in black spoke a word, and the two bald men sat between him, one on the left and one on the right, which made Xiao Yao feel even more like he had been kidnapped.

Suddenly, the boy had an idea: he said it was sent by Yu Texuan, was it Yu Texuan who sent him?What if it was really a bad guy who came to kidnap him under his false name?

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

The distance of more than one kilometer, even including the distance into the underground parking lot, did not give Xiao Yao too much time to think about it.When he saw the car driving into the Sheng'ai Hotel, Xiao Yao had already let go of most of his worries, and the rest was thinking about how to deal with the adults of the Yu family—er, the old man.

The car came to a complete stop, and he was invited out of the car with a bald head in black, 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 the corridor of time.In the antique Republican-style large private room, the dim light shines on the old-fashioned tapestries on the wall, adding a touch of tranquility to the room.The soaring ceiling is inlaid with exquisite carvings, as if telling the story of the years.A row of ancient wooden windows gently introduces soft sunlight into the room through half-drawn gauze curtains, forming a faint golden halo.

In the center of the room, a huge circular dining table dominates.The dining table is made of high-quality mahogany material, with a smooth surface like a mirror, reflecting everything around it.

The table was covered with exquisite porcelain plates and silver plates of various colors, on which more than ten or twenty dishes were displayed.Stewed old hen, braised lion head, Longjing prawns, sweet and sour pork tenderloin, fried chicken with sauce, Huadiao drunken chicken... Of course, bundles of hairy crabs, a plate of Australian lobster, a soft-shelled turtle, a small Apple's roasted suckling pig, and some seafood that Xiao Yao can't name, which he has either seen or never seen these days.

These foods are delicious in color and fragrance, not only exuding a mouth-watering aroma, but also piled up on the table and almost unable to fit, just like showing off.

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

He saw Yu Texuan and Yu Baolu, but failed to see Yu Luying.

Xiao Yao glanced suspiciously at the bald man who said "Miss has arrived", then at the white-bearded old man sitting at the back of the round table, and finally chose not to ask.

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

At the back of the dining table, sat the two elegantly dressed old gentlemen.A thin old man is hale and hearty, dressed in a Chinese tunic suit, with a white goatee, with a kind expression, holding a teacup in his hand, smiling and savoring the mellow aroma in the cup.The other uncle was wearing a suit, with a cropped cut and beard, and his face was a bit fierce, as if it said "no strangers are allowed to enter".

This man has big arms and a round waist, with a cropped head and beard. Xiao Yao thinks of Shen Hongsheng when he first met.

"Little friend Xiao Yao, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Yu Texuan caressed his goatee and said with a smile, "Sit, sit down."

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

"What do you want to drink? Take it yourself." Yu Texuan stretched out a hand to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao looked at the Moutai, old rice wine, red wine written in an incomprehensible foreign language, Remy Martin, fruit orange and Sprite on the table, thought for a while, and poured himself a glass of 82-year-old Sprite.

The boy stood up, offered a toast to the elders, drank the Sprite in the cup, and then sat down.

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

Xiao Yao sat still.

Seeing that Yu Texuan and Yu Baolu had absolutely no intention of praying before the meal, he drew vertical and horizontal strokes on his chest, and began to mutter something.

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

Xiao Yao didn't answer him immediately, but waited for another five seconds, crossed himself after saying the amen, and then raised his head to answer.

The admiration on Yu Texuan's face added another half point: "Little friend has quite a legacy of St. Francis."

Xiao Yao didn't know the story of Saint Francis of the Five Wounds, so he could only say: "Grandpa Yu, Uncle Yu, you two are elders, how can you let the younger generation come to take care of you?"

Yu Texuan smiled and said, "Look! Some of the last will be the first, and some of the first will be the last."

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

The surprised look on Yu Texuan's face finally couldn't hide: "Little friend is not simple, not simple!"

Yu Baolu frowned slightly.

Xiao Yao didn't start to lead the prayer immediately, but just glanced across the faces of the two black-clothed bodyguards: "Excuse me, these two uncles who brought me here are also church members, right?"

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

"Since we are all brothers and everyone is equal before God, why not invite them to sit down and enjoy the food that the Lord has given us? With so much food, the three of us also..."

Yu Baolu's expression changed, as if he was about to lose his temper, but Yu Texuan stopped him.

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

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

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

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, amen." Xiao Yao proficiently recited this prayer: "Lord, please bless us and the food you have rewarded us, and we are also rewarded by you Thank you for everything. Glory to the Father, to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, as it is today, and forever, amen.”

Yu Texuan & Yu Baolu & the bald crowd: "Amen!"

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

After the waiter left, he closed the door behind him.With the sound of "click", Yu Baolu finally spoke the first sentence: "My father said that you have the legacy of St. Francis, so you seem to be from St. Francis Secondary School?"

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

Yu Baolu sneered.

"Oh," Yu Texuan said, "it's the same school as Big Yang."

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

"I see." Yu Texuan nodded.

"Then what is your future voluntary development direction?" Compared with Yu Texuan's politeness, Yu Baolu seemed unceremonious.

"On stage?" Xiao Yao said.

"That's right, it suits you very well," Yu Baolu said with a smile, "With your acting talent, you might have a future in this line of work."

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

It's better to be careful not to use too much force later, Xiao Yao thought.

Yu Texuan turned his head and glared at Yu Baolu, but Yu Baolu fell silent.

"I heard from Gouzi that my little friend is going to be baptized next Easter?" Yu Texuan asked while picking up vegetables.

"Yes." Xiao Yao secretly wondered, how could Yu Baolu know this, and then he realized that this dog should refer to Yu Bo.

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

Xiao Yao knew that the session of the Inquisition had just begun.

To this question, of course, one cannot truthfully answer "in order to pick up your granddaughter".

Xiao Yao took out the answer that he had planned long ago.

"I heard the Tao in the morning, and it's okay to die in the evening." Xiao Yao said in a deep voice with a solemn face.

Seeing Yu Baolu's expression, he felt that he was exerting too much force again, so he quickly cleared his throat and said, "As for me, I have been a person who likes to think wildly since I was a child. I would think about things such as where I came from, where I am going, and life questions of meaning."

"Oh?" Yu Texuan said.

He almost repeated what he said to Yu Lihua in Chapter 186-such as philosophical thinking since childhood, fear of death, the purpose of the universe, atomic physics, quantum mechanics, chemistry, and string theory in junior high school. Obsessed with it, he said the whole thing, while observing Yu Texuan's expression and eyes, believing that he was walking on the right path.

"Later, when I was almost in 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: "Plus, I like reading Chinese and foreign literature since I was a child." Well, I came 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. At that time, the Internet was not developed around 00, so I went all over the Xinhua Bookstore and private bookstores in Dongru. , I couldn’t even buy a Bible, so I had to buy a copy of Van Loon’s "Stories from the Bible" and treated it as a Bible.

Speaking of which, Fang Loon's "Stories from the Bible" was discovered by accident when he and Shen Jie were visiting Xinhua Bookstore during the few days when Meiyu and Meiyu were neighbors.

Seeing the old man's moved and sighing expression, Xiao Yao felt a little morally guilty, but he couldn't get off the horse, so he had to finish the story: "After I came to Shanghai to study in high school, I accidentally saw Yu Luying while eating in the cafeteria. Praying before cooking, I struck up a conversation with her."

In fact, Yu Luying didn't pray much at school—do you?Some can't remember.

"Later she gave me the first "Bible" in my life," this half sentence is true: "Then she took me to the Sacred Heart Church opposite the school, and then I met Bo G... er, Father Yu. Of course Because of this incident, and because she and I are both members of the literature club and the poetry club, we gradually became friends..."

"Okay, that's fine." Yu Baolu interrupted him impatiently: "The question is how you came into contact with the faith, not how you tricked us big sheep."

"Uncle Yu, what you said is a bit inappropriate..." Xiao Yao thought for a while, and felt that it was better to argue with reason than to swallow his anger.

Yu Texuan raised his palm to stop the two of them, and said, "My little friend's sharing moved the old man. By the way, the old man suddenly invites you today. I hope it's not too rude and disturbing?"

Xiao Yao thought for a while and replied: "Actually, to be honest, I was a little surprised at first, but considering my relationship with Da Yang, it's not that surprising..."

"To be honest, for the old man, the decision to invite is also temporary and hasty," Yu Texuan stroked his white beard: "To be honest, the old man has been watching you all these days .”

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

"The old man saw a young man with a sincere heart," Yu Texuan explained, "It makes the old man see himself back then, hehehe."

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

"You are a person, sometimes you don't follow the rules, but you are very courageous-you are the kind of person who is willing to stand up and take practical actions for the right thing, regardless of the world's vision," Yu Texuan commented : "Of course, your godliness is also seen in your eyes, and you are happy in your heart. Your team leader, Mr. Li Teng who taught you history, your roommate, and many campers and service personnel in the logistics team, are very grateful to you. The reviews are very good.”

"I... can't afford these evaluations." Xiao Yao said humbly and sincerely.

At the same time, he began to doubt whether his reputation was really as good as Yu Texuan said, so much so that he began to suspect that the old man was just speaking politely.

"That's why I want to get to know my little friend," Yu Texuan concluded his statement, "Regardless of whether you and Da Yang can go to the end in the future, this old man wants to make a friend who forgets the age with you."

Xiao Yao stood up, and Yu Texuan pressed his palm down: "Sit, sit—you eat the food, don't patronize and chat."

Xiao Yao was indeed a little hungry, so he relaxed a little at this moment, and picked up a few chopsticks.

"How long have you been with Da Yang?" the unfriendly judge Yu Baolu spoke again.

"If it starts with a confirmed relationship," Xiao Yao said honestly, "Actually, it's only...about a month? It's been about a year since we became friends."

Just as Yu Baolu was about to say something, Yu Texuan had already picked up the conversation: "To tell you the truth, my friend, besides the intention to make friends and gossip, there is actually one more thing that I need my help with. ——Because I really found that Xiaoyou is a reliable person, I dare to make this request."

Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "Grandpa Yu, as an elder, you don't need to speak like this, it will make me feel embarrassed - please tell me directly if you have any orders, as long as the younger generation can do it, you will definitely do your best. "

"Okay!" Yu Texuan laughed happily, "During the time you were dating Da Yang, did she talk to you about her father?"

"Yes," Xiao Yao nodded and said, "Judging from Yu Luying, uh, and her mother's description, this father seems to be...a person with some moral flaws."

It's bad, how can I talk like the old man, and start to speak half-literately?

"That's right," Yu Texuan stroked his white beard, and said with a serious expression: "The ancients said that men are afraid of entering the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. This little girl has little experience and can easily fall in love with others." That's right, as elders at this time, we must keep our eyes open, check for the child, and judge whether the son-in-law's character is correct, my little friend thinks, what's wrong?"

"It's not wrong, it should be." Xiao Yao had no choice but to answer like this.

He caught a glimpse of Yu Baolu's half-smile expression from the corner of his eye, and felt that the old man had something to say, and his heart, which had just been let down a little, was lifted up again.
