Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 319 A Loving Smile
Pressing the surprise in his heart, Zuo Fu sat on the folding chair and said, "This priest doesn't need to salute, come here, bring a stool for the priest."

Ai Julian was a little surprised, "My lord, do you know me?"

Yo, this official saying is not bad!

A few scholars beside him seemed a little excited, and couldn't help asking: "Does the Duke also believe in religion?"

"presumptuous!"

Chun Ya scolded: "My eldest daughter is a dignified Ming, how can she believe in this pagan religion?!"

Zuo Fu waved his hand and said: "Chun Ya must not be presumptuous."

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said: "My maidservant is spoiled by me, so don't take offense. Don't stand up and talk, everyone, sit down."

A few folded small mats were moved by Li Xiang and others, and Ai Julius sat down with the support of several scholars.

Seeing his pale face and haggard spirit, Zuo Fu said, "Father, your body needs to be recuperated."

"It doesn't matter."

Ai Julue coughed a few times, "It's normal to lose energy as you get older."

If this person does not look at the appearance, but only listens to the voice, he really thinks he is a Chinese.It seems that this person has a strong background and should have been preaching in China for many years.

"I still don't know what the name of the priest is?"

"Under Ai Julian, the word thinks of it, is an Italian Jesuit missionary. When Emperor Wanli was in power, I came to Daming from my hometown to preach. In the fourth year of the apocalypse, I met the leader who retired from his post in Hangzhou. Fu Ye Xianggao, recommended by him, came to Fuzhou to preach."

"Amazing!"

Zuo Fu praised, "Italy is tens of thousands of miles away from my Ming Dynasty. You are so far away from home, just to come to this strange country to spread the gospel of God. It's amazing!"

"The priest built the Sanshan Hall in Gongxiang with the help of Master Ye's eldest grandson 22 years ago, which is now the Futang Hall."

A young man with a round face next to him said: "I also give porridge to the poor every day and spread the gospel of the Lord. Because of this, the priest is very poor and can only eat brown rice for food every day. Over time, his body suffers a lot. After a serious illness at the beginning of the year, I needed someone to help me walk."

"Yes."

Another man said: "Although many local gentry have sponsors, the priests have given food to the poor, but they themselves live in poverty."

Zuo Fu nodded, "Father is really a loyal believer of the Lord, your kindness and generosity will be blessed by God."

As she spoke, she pretended to be casual and made a few prayer movements.This surprised a group of people!

Nanjing and other places are very anti-religious, why does this lord of the state seem to be very clear about this matter?And she seems to know where Italy is?

How can this be? !
Ai Julio's eyes were moist, he stood up tremblingly, bowed and saluted, "To be recognized by a noble person like you is the best gift God has given me."

"Father, I respect all religions, as long as they don't harm the people or the world. After all, living in this world, we may all become lost sheep. When our hearts have nowhere to rest, we need God's guidance."

"Oh, God!"

Ajulius exclaimed, "Have you read the Bible?"

Zuo Fu pursed his lips and smiled, instead of directly answering Ai Julian's question, he said, "Father Ai Julian, you haven't said why you came to find me? However, I am honored to see you. And I I am about to go to Qiongzhou to be an official, if possible, I really hope that you can follow me to Qiongzhou, you know, it has been my Chinese exile since ancient times, and the people there also need the gospel of God."

Ai Julian was a little dumbfounded.

He came to China in 1610, and 37 years have passed in a blink of an eye. Along the way, he almost lost his life in several teaching cases raised.

Although I met Ye Xianggao later, I was able to spread the gospel of the Lord in Fuzhou.But this process was not smooth.There are many locals who oppose his preaching, and many even humiliate him verbally; some extreme ones even insult God.

He has been preaching in China for many years, except for Ye Xianggao, this is the first time he met someone who asked him to preach, which made him suddenly feel like "die for his confidant".

He straightened his clothes and said, "If my lord is trustworthy, I would like to go to Qiongzhou to spread the gospel of the Lord!"

"Father!"

Several scholars exclaimed, "That Qiongzhou is full of miasma, and there are pirates knocking on the pass from time to time. You are not in good health now, and you can't stand the trouble!"

"No!"

There was firmness in Ajulio's eyes, "God will not abandon his people because of difficulties. God has never done that, so I have no reason to do that."

After saying that, he bent down deeply and said, "My lord, I would like to go to Qiongzhou with you."

"The priest's strong faith is really touching."

Zuofu stood up, helped the priest up, looked at the gray-haired old man, and couldn't help sighing in his heart.

What a firm believer!
Zuofu has always respected those who stick to their beliefs.Of course, she didn't really want to find this priest to spread the gospel. Her real purpose was to get some people from him, some technology and so on.

Thinking about the power of the church in this era, the corners of a certain girl's mouth could not help but curl up.

I allow him to preach in Qiongzhou, and he provides himself with talents. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

As for whether the people of Ming Dynasty will become loyal subjects of God, Zuo Fu is not worried at all.

Chinese people are very pragmatic, even worshiping gods.

Taking a step back, if there is any sign of something bad, wouldn't it be enough to just pinch it?

Where did poor Father Aurelius know about Zoff's dark thoughts?
At this moment, he was still secretly admiring in his heart: it is not easy for this lady to be famous all over the world!I don’t talk about being erudite, and I am humble in dealing with others. God must have seen my efforts, so he sent me this angel!

To be invited by a magistrate to go to a place to preach is a great event for Ai Julian, and it is also a great event for the entire church.

The church has always hoped to spread the gospel on the land of China and bring China into the embrace of the Lord.When their ancestors set foot on this land and found that the Chinese did not reject God, they were all ecstatic!

But not long after, they discovered that the Chinese not only did not reject them, but also did not reject other religions.

It seems that as long as a god comes in, they welcome it.

And those poor people are believers in God when there is food; but when there is no food, they become believers in other gods.

This caused a headache for a group of people who came to preach.They really couldn't understand, how could the people of such a country with such a brilliant culture dare to question God?How can you be so pragmatic in the matter of faith?

Therefore, although many missionaries have come to China, the achievements they have achieved are hard to describe and cannot be seen directly.But now the most honorable duke of the empire, a lady who is famous all over the world, a person who is about to control Qiongzhou, is actively inviting him to preach...

Oh, God!
What an exciting thing!

Write to the church immediately and ask them to send the clergy again!In addition to showing the wonders of God to the people of Qiongzhou, we must also spread their Western knowledge!

Ai Julio was very excited, but Zuo Fu was very worried when he saw the excited appearance of the thin old man.

Look at this fragile person, don't belch when you get excited, right?

Caused by malnutrition?
Well, it's easy to handle, An Sufen is waiting for you.

Thinking about it, this old man is a bit respectable.According to these local people, the old man gave all the donations he got to the poor, but he himself lived an extremely poor life. It is quite admirable to carry out his faith to this extent.

But well...

The old man fell into his hands, and he would not allow him to do so.After all, he had belonged to God before, but now he belonged to her Zover.

This physical body cannot be easily destroyed, and it is still useful to keep it!

and……

Zuo Fu pursed his lips, and smiled at Ai Julue, very kindly and lovingly...

O lost lamb of God!
Do you need a miracle?

It's unbelievable!

It must be God's gift to me that such a noble duke is so enlightened and kind!
Ai Julian was also smiling at Zuo Fu, smiling brightly and contentedly...

"Chunya, go get two cans of Ansu powder."

"what?"

Chun Ya looked "reluctant", and whispered: "Girl, that thing is very precious..."

"Have you learned to talk back?! Hurry up! The priest is weak, how can he stand up to travel? These days, Ansu powder needs to be recuperated before he can go on the road! Needless to say, go and get my Ansu powder!"

Chun Ya pouted and left.But when she got out of the tent, she couldn't help laughing.

The eldest girl looked very kind with her smile just now, but as her personal maid, Chun Ya could tell that the eldest girl had plans.

How can a maid with a red card next to a big girl hold back?Naturally, they have to cooperate well!Thinking about it this way, I want to light the wax for that foreign monk!
If you fall into the hands of the big girl, you will never want to escape from the palm of the big girl in this life!

"When we met for the first time, I didn't have much preparation, so I gave two cans of ansu powder as a gift to the priest to nourish his body."

"Excuse me, my lord, what is this Ansu powder?"

Zuo Fu smiled slightly and said, "This is a nutritional supplement developed by my master. It also contains protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, etc."

Poor priest!

The eyes have completely become mosquito-repellent incense eyes!
What is this all about? !

Those who can come to China to preach are very knowledgeable, but now he can't understand any of the words that come out of Zuo Fu's mouth, and he is very mad.

"Father doesn't need to worry about these things. We will have many opportunities to communicate in Qiongzhou."

While speaking, Chun Ya had already brought An Su powder.

Zuo Fu signaled Chunya to open the Ansu powder.Chunya opened the Ansu powder, and the pale yellow powder appeared in everyone's eyes.

Someone came up and smelled it, and found that the smell was a bit tempting, very sweet!
Zuofu smiled and said: "Father, I hope you don't give this thing to others, because you will follow me to Qiongzhou to spread the gospel of God, so I hope you can live a healthy life and guide more lost lambs. This thing How to use it, my maidservant will teach you later."

After a pause, he smiled again: "Father Aleulio, can you promise me?"

Ai Julius cupped his hands, "My lord, don't worry, I will take good care of my body and keep my spirit full to go to Qiongzhou to spread the gospel with you! Oh, God, I feel like I'm healed without medicine now! You must An angel from God! Oh, God..."
