【Notre Dame Cathedral】Salome of the Archdeacon

As the sun rose, a large group of gypsies rushed to the land that feeds us—the Notre-Dame Square. It is too rare for a day full of people to be full, and it is a harvest day for us.

The square is already full of people, except for beggars, ordinary people wearing coarse clothes, nobles, men, women and children in the rich area, middle-class citizens, jugglers, performers, and stalls... there are also exotic costumes everywhere. People, they wear dark robes that cover their heads to their feet, and hats made of layers of turbans are wrapped around their heads, and a turban is wrapped around their necks along the back. I saw Phoebe riding that big white horse through the crowd with a reluctance on his face, because he was hungover last night and was sent to maintain order and escort the caravan before he woke up.

Nuoda's bluestone brick venue is full of noise, laughter and footsteps. There are lights and festoons everywhere. There are many colorful ropes and colorful ribbons hanging on the top of the square. When the wind blows, red, green, blue, yellow and purple colors fly, Added a lot of active atmosphere to the silent winter.

Although it is still cold in January, it is very lively to watch!There are many strange things that have never been seen in the square, and there are even tigers and lions!There were also a lot of Arab merchants and merchants from the ancient East Roman area passing by in front of the square with a team of camels. They were chased by a group of poor children playing with hoops. I also squeezed with the crowd to watch the excitement.

The bearded Arab businessman with gorgeous costumes at the front should be their owner. He has an emerald on his turban hat, several circles of pure gold necklaces around his neck, and at least six rings on his ten fingers. Can't help but sigh, really nouveau riche.The male servants with black veils in the back lead the camels, and each camel has a saddle on its back, carrying three or four bags full of valuable goods: silk, porcelain, tea, cloth and Middle Eastern spices, most of which are Expensive crafts such as porcelain were sent to the Louvre.

The white-haired man who opened a pharmacy next to him whispered: "Oh my god, there are so many treasures! Look at these Middle Easterners with great wealth! They are very good at doing business! I heard a long time ago that the Louvre was originally built in the twelfth century. It is a fortification, but now France has been unified and the world is peaceful, so the defensive function of the Louvre has become invalid. Now the Louvre belongs to our emperor - "Spider King" Louis XI, yes, this great The king is a universal spider, and he unified the whole of France. This is the place for him to store the handicrafts and collections purchased by the royal family from all over the world: precious porcelain, sculptures, paintings, etc., and those teas, silks, spices Then they will be sent to the palace, and the emperor will reward them to the aristocratic cronies." Another young man in shabby clothes whispered: "The emperor's prince is going to be engaged to the princess of Flanders, this should be a gift chosen by the emperor. Maybe it will be handed over to the envoys." I nodded, the life of this royal family is really luxurious, with strong financial resources, it is unattainable for those of us who don't even have food (Note: 1482 is the same period In the 18th year of Ming Xianzong Chenghua in China, the trade of porcelain and silk was developed).

Squeezing to the center of the square, I raised my little golden brown head and looked up: it's amazing!Notre Dame looks even more festive and solemn today, with red velvet flags embroidered with huge crosses embroidered with golden edges hanging vertically, which complement the milky white marble background of the building itself, which is simply spectacular.

"Ding ding dong dong..." The bells of the church are really wonderful. Every time a heavy scale is issued, the white doves on the top of the church fly away and fly back, circling in the blue sky with high clouds and light winter.I remember that the bell ringer should be Quasimodo, who seems to be Claude's adopted son. It seems that the poor man also likes beautiful music.

I looked up and down the bell tower, and suddenly I met the fiery eyes of a person. There was a man in black lying on the window sill of the small room next to the bell tower...it was Claude! ! !

I saw him very happy, excitedly bouncing his little feet, biting his lips, jumping up with a smile and waving his hands to him, he just stared at me for a while, I thought he seemed a little surprised, quickly turned his head and The body shrank back.

"Well...he went back..." I slowly lowered my hands, lowered my head in disappointment: "What is he looking at (Claude: looking at you), he just left without paying attention to me, is he Don’t you still think that I’m a terrible witch and don’t want to talk to me... The purse I gave him is still in my arms, and I must find a chance to give it to him later..." I have never felt so depressed in this life or in my previous life. But now my mood is always affected by him, and when I am in a daze, I always think about my problems with him. Although it is unilaterally done by me, this feeling is really uncomfortable.

I didn't see it, Claude just hid behind the wall, he didn't go, and when I lowered my head, he immediately returned to the window and stared at me (so he saw all the stupid things I did next, my image ...).

Depressed, I turned around, shook my arms in boredom, turned my cane, and arched the drawing board behind me to adjust my collapsed mentality.

Vanessa with me, we both have such a big heart, it has been sleeping in my clothes, I want to shake it awake. "Baby Vanessa, shake it, shake it." It woke up, very upset.I sprayed heat on its small pointed head and said, "Vanessa~, Claude ignored me just now, so I'm broken in love."

"Hiss... hiss... hiss... (Snake language: He loves you too, have you used all your IQ to change your appearance? Even my snake can see it, you sand sculpture )" Vanessa tilted her head to me and stuck out her tongue, looking at me indifferently with her ruthless little eyes.

Why do I feel as if I was despised by it, she seems to be scolding me, don't calm down, sister.

No matter how smart a girl in love is, her IQ will drop rapidly (Vanessa: You are not smart at all).I scratched my golden head, which was already full of Claude's capacity, and sighed at Vanessa. Vanessa glanced at me dissatisfied, and hissed at me with her mouth wide open, " Don't be angry!" I smiled and pressed its head down, kissed it, and pulled its tail. (Vanessa: You stupid woman.) Boring, I grabbed a handful of Jiali’s golden hoof and shook hands with it at an incredible speed. Jiali watched My shadowless hand, head followed bit by bit, and I also exploded its goatee by the way...

"Oh ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha to death, um ~" I suddenly laughed back and wiped tears.Because the fascinated sister who was staring at the scumbag knight Phoebes just now noticed my gradually arrogant laughter, and slapped my owed hand away with her small mouth.

I bit my lip and shook my shoulders to hold back a smile, pinching my waist with one hand and spreading the other hand helplessly.

"Pfft...huh" Claude couldn't hold back his laugh and then suppressed it. He can hardly laugh these years: "Won't you look up again? Is she depressed? Silly She is so cute, little witch...how could the devil choose a child like her to confuse others, you little idiot! She doesn't look like a basilisk at all, it seems that only by keeping her by my side forever can I truly protect her , she needs me, and I need her too..." Claude sat on the window sill with his arms crossed, looking down at my stupid behavior, with a doting smile in his eyes.

There was a regular knock on the door, "Mr. Bishop, I am sorry to interrupt your work. The miracle drama is about to begin. You need to accompany Cardinal Bourbon to meet the Flemish envoys. Your Excellency invites you to watch it together." A young monk whispered outside the door.

Claude restrained the tenderness in his heart, walked over quickly, opened the door gently, and said calmly and politely: "Okay, thank you, please tell the bishop, I will be there soon."

"Yes, my lord." The monk lowered his head slightly, turned around and walked slowly down the revolving stairs of the clock tower.

Claude glanced reluctantly at his "beautiful scenery" outside the window, "She likes to join in the fun, so she will also go to the Holy Miracle drama..." The corners of his mouth raised slightly, he turned around and quickly put on his teaching robe, put on He took off his cloak, twirled the black waves, and strode down.

Outside the Notre Dame, there was a commotion in the crowd, and a young man's loud and smooth voice sounded in the middle of the crowd: "Dear ladies and gentlemen, masters and masters! There will be a miracle play in the church soon, and the name of the play is "The Judgment of Our Lady"! My lord, the great French poet, philosopher, playwright, Mr. Pierre Gringoire playwright and director! Come first and find a good seat, this kind of great play, you can’t miss it when you pass by!" People flocked to the door of the church , the poet was surrounded by enthusiastic people, only heard his voice, but not his people.

"Sister, there is a sacred drama! Go and see it! I really want to go, I have never seen this before! Brother! Are you going! This is a sacred drama! Can I watch it for a while? Please~" I shook the arms of my brothers and sisters in the middle like a vigorous propeller, squeezed my big golden eyes at them, and hinted desperately.

The sister and brother looked at each other, and said softly helplessly: "Sorry, you can only go by yourself. We are really not interested in that drama, but we will wait outside for you to finish watching."

"Anyway, everyone is going to watch the play. There are no people outside. We don't need to perform for the time being. The king grants you permission to go to the play first!" The elder brother waved his hand and raised a corner of his coat, saying generously.

"Thank you sister and brother, I love you so much, I love all of you!" I kissed my brother and sister's cheeks vigorously, and shook everyone's hands solemnly.If you go late, there will be no seats. Everyone is afraid of snakes, so I can only put Vanessa on the ground and give it to my sister.I didn’t have time to unload all my clothes, so I ran into Notre-Dame Cathedral with a cane, a drawing board on my back, and my small tin kettle pinned to it.
