【Notre Dame Cathedral】Salome of the Archdeacon

After a while, colorful crowds rushed in.

The chain mail of the royal guards rattled at the gate of the Palace of Justice of the Holy See. His lord cardinal, supported by the deeply bowed monks in brown robes, supported the gilded cross-carved shaft of the carriage, and stepped on it. The little wooden stool jumped down. He was wearing a red satin hat with a huge brim, brushed off his white narrow sleeves, touched the pure gold collar button of the big red woolen robe, and stomped lightly a few times. With spotless leather shoes, he cleared his throat, turned around and easily threw the white gloves to the attendants of the Holy See Duke's Palace.

I immediately hid behind the pillars next to the stage flexibly, leaving only a crisp lingering sound of bells, showing half of my face, secretly watching those people, this is the first time I have seen such a big battle!Claude was in the center of the group of priests who greeted him, and he followed closely beside the old bishop in white robes and hats, and his eyes slipped to my side from time to time.

"That's a lot of nonsense, my dear vicar. I just heard you from a long way away! There's a little girl singing! Could it be that I didn't wait for my hangover to start performing, You guys are so disrespectful! You don’t even take me with you for fun!” The young cardinal stepped on small square steps, raised his voice, and patted the shoulder of the stern-faced Claude heroically. He raised his eyebrows and said with a relaxed smile: "You always don't participate in my entertainment! I invited you many times last night, and the servants handed over so many invitations! But you just said you won't come! I was at the Duke yesterday. The mansion is very happy to drink! A little rain didn't affect my interest! If I can't see the comedy, the envoys and I will fight for the wine and drink! I forgot how much I paid for the girls who accompanied the wine Gold coins, those women really made a lot of money in my hands last night, this morning my wallet was flat, they left me immediately, those women are too heartless, I still have a headache."

"I am very busy, Monsieur Cardinal. You know you have just succeeded your father, Duke of Paris - your father is a very good old man... Now that you are a Cardinal, you can live as you please Chic. And I, a sad vicar, your father appointed me to be your teacher, I naturally have to deal with all the affairs of the Holy See, should you also learn to take over the affairs of the Church recently, there are many cases of the Holy See I haven't dealt with the tax issue with the church I belong to, so why don't you go in a while..." Claude calmly looked at the young cardinal who was eating, drinking and having fun all day long, and took the opportunity to persuade him to learn something without being humble.

"You are such a disappointment, my friend! Today is for fun, for love! Don't always be so serious! But for me, every day should be this happy! This is what I seek! You should also seek It's fun, isn't it! If I had to deal with those things, I can't imagine living a life like yours, which is obviously superior, but very deserted! You have no wine around you! No laughter! Not even beautiful women! My God! There are no women! It's terrible! How do you live!...God! If I were you, why don't you just let me go to the gallows in the river beach square!" The cardinal patted Claude's shoulder happily again, Quickly interrupt the teaching of this serious teacher, eloquent sophistry.

"My lord! Why do you always make excuses for your lack of work! You...you compare...you try to persuade me to degenerate! Tell me about women...you are so disrespectful! Women are The most terrifying devil in the world, as you, you should always remember this! She is very evil..." Hearing the cardinal talking about women... Claude immediately thought of Salome's love for her. His smiling face and her soft little hands... He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of shame that rushed straight to his head, blushing and heartbeating, and immediately bowed his head tightly in embarrassment, and responded in a dazed whisper.

"Sir... who is she? Who is evil?" the noble young man dug his ears and asked Claude in a low voice.

"Nothing! My lord! No one! There can't be anyone!" Claude realized his aphasia, blushed serious, raised his head in a panic, put his hands nervously, and hastily denied San Lian.

"Hey! My friend! You are always so serious, you are really boring, that's why no woman likes you! It's so frustrating! Do you know! If a man does not have a good woman around him, his whole life will be ruined." Happiness is less than half! I'd rather die! Hiccup." The cardinal tilted his head, pretending to be dying, and twitched his hands, while the servant next to him covered his mouth and snickered.

Claude blushed in embarrassment, turned his body slightly, lowered his eyes, and avoided the cardinal. He didn't want to say anything more to him, but he didn't dare to say any more.

Claude suddenly felt extremely guilty and painful at this moment.His mind is not clean, even worse than this prodigal young man who dared to love. He suddenly felt that he was a coward, and the Salome girl who loved him so strongly could only be separated from everyone by a tree. Leading her with a stick, even getting close to her is so sneaky, he, the priest, is doing a dirty thief...

"Who sang the song just now! It's so beautiful! I haven't heard such a sweet little song! And that beautiful drumbeat, where is she, let me meet her." A woman dressed in gold and silver The thread-embroidered honey-colored brocade burqa, the aristocratic woman wearing a huge glittering golden dress with complicated lace lace, supported by the maid in the green dress, raised her head noblely, He lightly waved his hands in lace gloves, smiled and softly asked the Flemish envoys bowing out to greet him.

"That's right, which girl is singing, why don't you let me know you soon!" The cardinal took out a snow-white handkerchief, rubbed his nose, and put it back in his hand as if he was afraid of the cold.

"Her Royal Highness, Your Majesty Cardinal... just now, it was just a lowly gypsy dancer performing the opening show, which is not worth seeing." The ministers lowered their heads and replied cautiously and respectfully.

"I'm going to see her! I just need a maid who can speak Hebrew, so bring her here quickly." Princess Margaret turned her face impatiently, quite dissatisfied with the minister's statement , because her mother is a low-status maid, and she is strictly speaking only the emperor's illegitimate daughter, otherwise she would not have been sent to marry. This is Flanders' well-known "royal secret", so She has always hated the rhetoric of ministers using their status to oppress others.

The red-robed bearded envoy shook his head helplessly, stroked his beard with a hand full of jewel rings, and whispered to Claude: "My lord, bring your "girl" to the princess. Let's see... your "female companion" should not be bad, and it should be fine to be the princess's personal maid."

In fact, the envoy already thinks that I am Claude's mistress, but the term "female companion" is a little more euphemistic. Hearing these two words, Claude's face turned red, and he pretended to be calm with a cold face. Say, "I don't understand what you're talking about, I don't have..."

"It's the singing and dancing beauty just now. Don't hide it. It's not something to be shady. She is so beautiful and radiant. You don't need to hide her beauty in a golden house." The envoy said to her secretly. I winked in the direction I was hiding, and looked at Claude again.

"You can let her come to see you, but she is not mine..." Claude began to stammer and explain.

"Let her come, you have to take out your hidden jewels and wipe them on time, don't you? Don't let your beauty be dusted." The envoy's face I understand your expression, which made Claude even more embarrassed, but he I don't want to explain too clearly, and Claude is a little confused about his mentality.

"Okay... I... I'll go find her now, mine..." Claude agreed vaguely, and walked slowly towards the pillar where I was hiding with heavy steps.

"Hi! You're back~" I lifted my small head from the pillar and waved cheerfully to Claude, "I still have something to tell you!"

"Salome, I... I'm here to see you to see the princess and the cardinal. They want to see you and summon you in...in my...that capacity." Claude held his right hand Zhuzhu, twisting his teaching robe nervously with his left hand, staring at my face nervously.

"No problem, Claude, what do I think is the matter, what identity do you say...why are you sweating so much!" I opened my eyes strangely, stretched out my long and round fingers and wiped it lightly There were fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Claude gasped suddenly, grabbed my wrist excitedly, and then grabbed my hand tightly, pulled me over without any explanation, hugged my neck fiercely, and pressed his face against it. Pulled my hair, took me and walked towards the crowd.

"Claude... why are you so excited... I... can't breathe ~ who can tell me what happened... a little bit~" I gradually had difficulty breathing in the suffocating love of Claude, Zhang Kai Shi directed his hands, sticking out his tongue in a funny way.

When Claude saw me, he pursed his lips and smiled, his gray-blue eyes gave me a gentle look, and slowly took my hand. I raised my eyebrows and smiled at him in a daze. He pulled away, though I still don't know what happened.

When the people around saw Claude leading me, they gave way tacitly. The cardinal touched his straight black hair, which had been combed by the servants, helped his hat, straightened Blinking his blue eyes, he was ready to see what this girl with a beautiful singing voice looked like. He was always enthusiastic about beauties.

The princess looked forward curiously, maintaining the dignified lady's reserved posture of raising her head, with her hands folded on her abdomen, and gently fanning the champagne-colored swan feather fan, thinking, if this girl is really good , she can leave her in the palace as her dowry maid.

I held Claude's big hand back nervously, and interlocked his fingers tightly, my hand was still shaking, don't blame me for being timid... I have never seen a real princess in my life!I have only heard of princesses and cardinals in fairy tales before... This time I will see the real thing, the Lun family is so excited!

"Don't be afraid... I'm right by your side... Even if Emperor Louis is here, you don't have to be afraid! I'll never leave you... an inch!" Claude held my trembling hand tightly again, spread his arms, and hugged me He grabbed my shivering shoulders because of the cold and fear, wrapped me tightly in his teaching robe, and hugged me deeply.

"Claude~ I'm scared...I'm so excited..." I hugged his waist and trembled, and the girl's sweet voice trembled slightly.

"Don't be afraid, your man is not even afraid of the emperor, you should also have confidence." Claude patted my hand hanging on his waist, looking extremely calm and domineering.

"I don't have a man..." I was hanging on him, still staring nervously at the front and trembling.

"I am! Stupid!" Claude pinched my face.

"Huh?!" I, who was almost a pendant on his body, pouted my head, frowned and looked at him suspiciously, and met his smiling eyes.

"Are you not afraid of the emperor?" I held his waist tightly, and my strange head started to speak in confusion again.

"Of course, the emperor will come to ask me questions. I can even criticize him directly. Why should I be afraid of him." Claude smiled proudly at me.

"I didn't expect you to focus on this. You really have a strange brain circuit." Claude flicked the back of my head.

"Why! Oh~" I cried out in pain.

"Think about it yourself, huh~" He looked at the stupid girl who was hugging his waist and suddenly didn't tremble, squinting her eyes and chuckling lightly.

I feel something is wrong, but I can't tell... "Hey hey! Claude, when did you become my man! I'll tell you what's wrong!" I wanted to let go of his waist and run back, but he suddenly He clasped my hands, and I just hugged his waist without tears like this, and let him drag him, striding forward with a bewildered smile on his face, and the little shoes I resisted were all mixed with him. There were sparks on the ground.

"Claude! You bastard~ I'm not married yet...how can I pretend to be your mistress!!! My name..." I hit his broad chest with my head in grief and anger.

"Your name is also mine! Mrs. Frollo!" Claude controlled me to attack his head with the other hand: "When I first met you, you hit me with your head... "

"I...that was an accident, you cheapskate! You still want to take revenge on me...huh!" My face was constricted against his chest, even though I couldn't open my mouth, I tried my best to slap him back.

In this way, Claude "bet" me in front of the princess and the cardinal in an outrageous way.

"This is humble... She is disobedient, I can only be rude like this! Princess, please take a look..." Claude blushed, lifted me from the waist, pulled my bare shoulders, and stood still They twisted me, and I met Princess Margaret and the Cardinal in embarrassing eyes.

I pursed my mouth and smirked, staring at my eyes, trying to kill Claude with my eyes.Claude raised his head, lowered his eyes, and stared at me with a smirk that didn't show weakness.

"That's not bad! Claude! Why didn't you say it earlier! Oh! I've been persuading you for a long time, but the clown is myself! Your woman is so beautiful! I have never seen such a beauty! Her appearance makes the whole The Palace of Justice is shining brightly! Alas! How could I have never seen her... How could I! Alas!" The cardinal stomped his feet regretfully and kept sighing, as if he had lost something. Like something good.

"Not bad... Really good... Can you do needlework? How old are you?" The princess looked at me, satisfied with me, and nodded without a trace.

"Back to you, Minnv is just 16 years old this year and knows a little needlework." I bowed my knees slightly and replied politely.

"Then have you ever read a book? Can you write?" the princess then asked softly.

"I used to read a little with the lady of the Arab businessman's family. Reading, writing, and painting are not a problem." I replied calmly, and by the way, I secretly gave Claude a look. Claude lowered his head and raised his eyebrows secretly at me. .

"How many languages ​​do you know?" the princess continued to ask.

"The folk girl has been wandering around since she was a child, and she knows a little bit of languages ​​in various places. She is best at Egyptian, Gypsy, and Latin; she also knows a little bit of Greek and Hebrew."

"What is your status now..." the princess continued to ask seriously.

"I... my name is Salome, Salome Gorgon. I'm just a gypsy wandering dancer, a beggar..." Claude stared at me straight at me when he heard my answer. The heart was full of loss, and even burst into tears.

I paused, held my breath for a while, summoned up my courage, blushed and continued word by word: "Now... is the vice-bishop... oh! Claude's...love... Mistress!" I closed my eyes tightly, although I had the mentality of mortal death, but after saying those two words, I was still ashamed and wanted to die, I just wanted to watch a drama, and by the way, watch what I have been thinking about Claude, why do I have to bear these inexplicable pressures... I am speechless and ask the heavens.

Forget it, Claude has saved me so many times, this time I will repay him... Hey... Brother and sister will scold me to death if they find out... Crying... Fight it out!

Claude was ecstatic when he heard my answer. With tears in his eyes, he rushed over, hugged my shoulders, wrapped me in his warm and generous arms, and kissed me fiercely. cheek.

I pouted my mouth, looked at him with a bit of complaint, and hammered his chest a few times angrily, but others looked more like the coquettishness of a girl in love, but Claude was not angry, and kept kissing me happily. forehead.

The princess looked at the top of my head for a while, smiled slightly, nodded slightly, and made a will: "I can read and write, and the etiquette is not bad... I am also very satisfied with the appearance... She is the woman of the vicar bishop again." , the status is noble... It’s not bad! Then you can follow me into the palace and be my maid! I came to Notre Dame to read the Holy Miracle script just to choose a maid!"

I bit my mouth in surprise, looked at Claude blankly, and felt that I had passed some terrible interview offer unintentionally... Was it so hasty...

"That woman, no way, princess, you have to think about it! You can't let her be a maid! She's a vixen who seduces a priest!" Wicked words to humiliate me.

Am I not the target of public criticism?And I can't enter the palace!Claude, sister, brother, so many friends... and my mother has not been found!How can I explain it to the princess... At this time, I had a bad idea, and I had another brainstorm!

"Princess! Please have pity on me... The archdeacon is the man I love the most in my life, I can't leave him ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..." I suddenly fell to my knees with a thud, pretending to be In the image of a bitter mistress with deep hatred, the princess took a step back in fright, and looked at me sympathetically. I covered my face, but there were no tears, and the mouth exposed between my fingers was even smiling.

"If I enter the palace, I will never be able to see him again. I love him so much. If I leave him, I will be heartbroken and die from missing him..." I fell on the ground limply (Oh, this place is really Cool), and pretended to cough a few times weakly.

"Hey! My lord archdeacon! You are so blessed! Such a beauty is so devoted to you! I wish you happiness..." The cardinal pouted and looked pitifully at me, who was madly outputting acting skills on the ground.

I quickly crawled to Claude's side, he hugged his thigh all of a sudden, shook his head enchantingly at him, and started to fake cry again.

The princess stood in embarrassment for a while, and finally said slowly and hesitantly: "Since this is the case...then forget it...Although I am really satisfied with you as my maid...but your love moves me even more. I can't beat mandarin ducks... I hope you are happy..." The princess wiped her tears gently with her gloves and sobbed softly. She also longed for true love instead of coming to make love and marrying a man she didn't know. The prince is very handsome and suave, he is also very kind to her, and he likes her very much, so she is lucky, she sympathizes with Salome's situation.

I was hugging Claude's thigh, and Claude was still pampering and helpless holding my hand and stroking my hair. I leaned happily on his lap, dumbfounded...

"Salome really touched me...you must be together..." The princess went to the VIP seat with tears in her eyes.

"The beauty is not shallow... Treat her well..." The cardinal shook his head, regretting that he didn't have such a beautiful woman by his side.

"Stop pretending..." Claude patted my head and gently rubbed my long hair. He sat down slowly, leaned his head on my shoulder, and hugged me tightly, tenderly kissed my cheek.

"This time my reputation is ruined...it's all your fault..." I pouted and hugged his neck, crying and complaining to Claude.

"Then let it not be destroyed..." Claude suddenly leaned over, put his hand on my cheek, and kissed my lips deeply...

At that moment, if my face could be seen, it must be red! "Claude... you're too much... push your limits!" I opened my eyes wide, looking at Claude's magnified face countless times, he closed his eyes, held my hand tightly, and gently kissed my lips , I can't even breathe...! ! !My head is dizzy too!

I don't know how long it took, Claude opened those gray-blue eyes, it was no longer a dead silence, but surging waves...

I breathed heavily, and my first kiss was actually given to Claude!

"Be my wife...marry me..." Claude hugged me, his heart was beating wildly, and he said to me with a serious face and firm eyes: "I will protect you with my life Mingjie...as long as you are mine...we are reasonable..."
