The struggle of the eight blessings of rebirth

Chapter 158 Arrival of the Pope's Envoy
Fifteen days go by in a blink of an eye, and today is the full night of August and fifteenth month. Minzhi's due date is at the beginning of October. At this time, her body is already extremely heavy. She originally thought that she might miss this family banquet, so she felt very distressed. , she missed her son, the two sons were taken away by Kangxi for a year, she only saw each other in a hurry.This dinner is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,

But it's different now. Miss Tong's matter was resolved without any risk. She remembered going to Suyu Jingshe to meet with Miss Tong that day.When she was told that her natal family would come to see her, there was a momentary flame of hope in her eyes, but soon, the flame was extinguished.Minzhi only said four words to her: "Marry and obey your husband."

Then, Minzhi asked Qiu Ju to introduce Tong Shulan's biological mother into Suyu Jingshe, on the grounds that it was inconvenient to meet outsiders because she was pregnant, but she drew drawings in the study.Castiglione was born as a priest, so he naturally understands that among the Catholic teachings, silverware is the supreme magic weapon.In the folk, only clergy can use silverware, and in Catholic countries, some silverware engraved with special patterns can only be used by high-ranking clergy.

In Minzhi's previous life, novels with religious themes were popular for a while.Minzhi also followed the trend and read a few books, did a little research, and now he just took them out and used them.

Tong Shulan is a smart woman. After being humiliated by Minzhi that day, she wanted to take the opportunity to sue her, but then her limbs became weak and dizzy for no reason.She thought she was having a good time, but what she waited for was physical weakness. How did she never know that she had this problem?What surprised her even more was that Yinhu didn't come to see her on the night she fell ill.Instead, he and Fujin came out of the study and went to the main house.Chuntao concluded that the two looked intimate.

She knew something was wrong, she was calculated, and was calculated by Fujin severely. She pretended to be sick and won Yinhu's stay for a few days, but Fujin made herself really sick without anyone noticing.

She didn't even know what the problem was, she ate and ate separately from the main house and had her own kitchenette.He was using his own cook, and the clothes he was wearing were also brought from his home. The main house had never rewarded him with any personal items, so why did he get sick for no reason?
After being unable to leave the house for several days, Fujin came, brought news of her natal family, but also issued a stern warning, her sharp expression was undisguised. In front of the absolute dominance, there are no floating clouds at all, how could I feel that this Fujin is easy to handle?If it's easy to handle, how could the two princesses in her family be invisible?

Tong Shulan succumbed, and didn't mention anything about Minzhi bullying her and her life was not good in front of her mother, she just said that she missed her, acted like a baby, and dismissed her.As for the meeting gift brought by Tong's family, the housekeeper kept it.

It wasn't until Mrs. Tong was about to leave that Minzhi held her stomach and stood at the door of her room symbolically, expressing that she had just woken up, and was so frightened that Mrs. Tong quickly persuaded Minzhi to enter the room, saying a few flattering words, Minzhi thanked Shulan for the gift, praised Shulan duplicity, and politely sent her away.

And until today, Tong Shulan still refused to ask for peace, stayed in her own room, and did not go to stand at the door of the study. Yinhu went to visit her occasionally, but Tong Shulan completely lost her temper on the surface and became obedient.Although Minzhi didn't think she would give up and make things difficult for her, she wasn't worried at all. She didn't find the right way to deal with you before, and suffered for nothing, now.I have identified your pulse, and there are Yinhu's "guards" beside you, so I can't handle you, so I just let you sit.

Therefore, Minzhi was refreshed, and her mind was full of thoughts about how she followed Kangxi's wishes without showing any signs of deeds, and made the two big Catholics wilt.Let the old man feel at ease, feel that he is in heaven, and there is no need to care about the barbarians, let alone the matter of the sea ban, it is right to leave food for the barbarians.

If it is done, Kangxi will definitely have confidence in his heart, and Yinzhen will no longer be frowning, and he will be regarded as a merit, at least delaying the emergence of seclusion.

Easier said than done, Minzhi frowned, and walked with her maid on the way to Changchun Garden, wondering if her idea was correct and whether those silver utensils would work.

When they arrived at Changchun Garden, Minzhi's gold medal was not easy to use, but because of her eight-month pregnant belly, Minzhi went straight to the banquet venue in a walking carriage. Fujin came up in a friendly manner. The sister-in-law hadn't seen each other for a long time, and there was endless talk.Everyone looked at Minzhi's stomach enviously, half-truthfully guessing that it must be the little elder brother again.

As far as the eye can see, all kinds of fruit bowls, pastries and cold food on the long table have been set up.On the round table is a silverware placed according to Minzhi's request, all of which are engraved with patterns of thorns blooming with small flowers.A plate, a bowl, a pair of knives and forks, a pair of chopsticks, and a spoon, and a beige square was placed under these things.This is all Minzhi's design, she is not Castiglione, she does not know the taboo of white.

However, she really admired the ability of the Inner Court Manufacturing Office. From the drawing to the finished product being put on the table, it only took [-] days to complete all the silverware, and all these silverware were made to perfection.Minzhi believes that silverware can calm the two envoys better than glass, and the flowering thorns imply the coexistence of suffering and hope. Minzhi believes that they will be surprised.

In fact, Kangxi was dissatisfied with glass, largely because he was blocked by Castiglione. The manufacturing office couldn't make things from private workshops, which was a shame. Although transparent glass is rare, in Kangxi's view, this kind of thing can only be Cause the other party's greed and plunder, lack of confidence.He didn't like it. The Manchus were influenced by Mongolia and preferred gold and silverware, gorgeous and practical.

Therefore, he is very satisfied with the second batch of silverware produced by the Manufacturing Office.Moreover, he also saw Castiglione's shock, the silverware, the silverware engraved with flowering thorns, who is this?He didn't even dare to make such a suggestion. The emperor strictly banned religion, but at this time he used the holy vessel to entertain the envoys. What was the emperor thinking?

In fact, it’s not what Kangxi thinks. Although he is knowledgeable, he doesn’t know these secrets, because Tang Ruowang, Nan Huairen, and Lang Shining he came into contact with are not of that level. seen or used.But now Minzhi got it out.

Minzhi would like to see the pope candidates and cardinal priests see that the sacred vessel becomes an ordinary vessel here, used to hold soup and vegetables.What expressions do they have.When the time comes, Kangxi frowned, and said something about a holy weapon?I just treat it as an ordinary object.Enough to make them vomit blood.

Soon, Minzhi saw Yinhu Yinhu walking towards her. Yinhu was dressed in moon white, and Yinhu was dressed in sapphire blue.They all looked radiant and full of spring breeze.Minzhi also laughed, and the princes entered the arena, which meant that the banquet was not far from the official start.

Supported by the nanny, Yinzhen took a few symbolic steps forward, and quickly stepped forward: "Sister-in-law eight, it's really extraordinary for sister-in-law to help." Minzhi smiled: "Ninth younger brother's waiver is just a coincidence, if you really can If Huang Ama's wish is fulfilled, it is very possible to have the best of both worlds." Yinzhen nodded: "Seeing the expressions of the painters in the painting academy, I know that there is great hope."

We were chatting here, Yinzhi came over, eighth brother, ninth brother, thanks to your help this time, otherwise, Mr. Nian, I, and the painter would not be able to do it at all.With the appearance of the eighth brother and sister, it seems that the happy event in the eighth brother's house is approaching again. Just as Minzhi was about to salute, she was stopped by Yinzhi: "No, don't salute, eighth brother, hurry up and support her." "

Yinhu always had a smile on his face: "Third brother is too modest, if there is no full arrangement of third brother and the Ministry of Rites, how could things go so smoothly. Yinhu does not seek meritorious service, but seeks to be innocent."

These words reached Yin Zhi's heart: Yes, I don't want to be meritorious, but I want to be innocent!To dawdle under Kangxi, this is the first rule!
After a while, everyone's eyes were attracted by a group of people walking from a distance.Seeing them, many female relatives couldn't help whispering.Minzhi hurriedly turned around to see that today's first supporting role, the Pope's envoy had arrived.

A tall, middle-aged man with blond hair and blue eyes, and a short, white-haired old man.The middle-aged man was wearing a black robe with a huge silver cross hanging on his chest.Apart from the cross, there is no other decoration.

The white-haired old man next to him was much more gorgeous. He was wearing a black robe and covered with a dark red half-length cloak. The side of the cloak and the side of the robe were trimmed with silver double thread. The old man also had a cross on his body. But it was dark in color, and when he got closer, Minzhi couldn't help covering his mouth with his hand: My God, the legendary nine-star cross, is this the symbol of the Pope's successor?
The nine-star cross represents the highest belief of Catholicism. Only the most devout believers and a few people in the Holy See can wear it. Its significance lies in the absolute loyalty to God. This kind of absoluteness has no criteria for judging.

There are very few people who are awarded the Nine-Star Cross. Minzhi also glimpsed it in a certain novel, but saw the real thing today.Reminiscent of what Yinhu said before that our Shidao family failed to stop their determination to go to Beijing to meet their masters.Seeing the nine-star cross, she vaguely felt that today's affairs were tricky.

It’s scary for Catholics to become fanatical. They can do self-mutilation and murder. If the language doesn’t match today, the old man might be bloody. Minzhi subconsciously Di La pulled Yinhu's sleeve: "Have you searched, is there nothing on this old man?"

Yinhu was puzzled: "Of course it was checked, why, do you think there is something wrong with him?" "There are more servants around him, this person is more... more dangerous"
