Chapter 2317 Giggling

  It is not surprising that Fr Roquerolle attended the Saint-Hypes Seminary in Paris when he was young, and many people attended that school, including Talleyrand.

  There is a church next to the seminary. There is a line inlaid with brass on the north-south central axis of the church. Every spring equinox, the sun shines through the hole in the south wall and falls on the rose line. With this day as the target, the Sunday of the first full moon thereafter will be considered Easter. Some people will find it very troublesome, why is it not a fixed date like National Day and birthday?

  The ancient calendar was very inaccurate. The Romans only hoped to spend the summer and abandoned the harsh winter. There are only 10 months in a year, and they have also changed due to changes in the political situation. Until Gaius Julius Caesar adopted the calculations of a mathematician and astronomer in Alexandria, Egypt, he used the Julian calendar to replace the old Roman calendar on January 1, 45 BC, and the year was divided into 12 Months, laughing and saying alternately, every four years, a leap year, 365 days in a normal year, 366 days in a leap year, and an average year length of 365.25 days.

However, due to the fact that the accumulated errors in the actual use process become larger and larger over time, the phenomenon of "spring equinox drifting away" eventually leads to the phenomenon of "spring equinox drifting away". Arrive ten days in advance, only need the rose line for correction.

April Fool's Day originated in France. The sun turns on its own. The first day of the new year is decided by people. For many conservatives, the first day of the new year is April 1, which is after Easter. This tradition It has been going on for nearly a thousand years. In 1582, King Charles IX of France decided to adopt the Pope Gregorian calendar, which started the year on January 1, which was opposed by the old-fashioned.

They still give and celebrate the new year according to the old calendar on April 1st, when some clever and funny people give them fake gifts, invite them to fake receptions, and put the deceived conservatives on this day. Called "the hooked fish" to ridicule.

Since then, people fooling each other on April 1st has become a popular custom in France. In the early 18th century, April Fool's Day spread to the United Kingdom and then to all over the world. Celebrate it as a grand festival.

  Michelangelo's birthday is said to be in 1475 or 1474, which is calculated according to the Julian calendar and Florence's own calendar. Florence has always regarded March 25 as the beginning of the new year, and it was not until 1582 that the Gregorian calendar was reformed. In the old Florentine calendar, January 1st to March 24th is not recorded in the new year, while Michelangelo's birthday happens to be March 6th, in the Florentine calendar, March 6th 1475 is still 1474 year.

  Most people live by listening to the church bells. Not everyone has the money to buy a pocket watch. People work, eat and rest according to the bells. Many of Leonardo da Vinci's works have been given various interpretations, but no one paid attention to the plate of grilled eel on the table, even the monks of the Church of Santo Domingo, who were eating in the dining hall, did not notice, maybe I noticed it and didn't realize it. After all, this dish was very common on the table of the nobles at that time, and no one would think of fasting.

  Because of fasting, the Venetians smuggled the remains of St. Mark back into pork before putting him in pork. At that time, the Arabian navy, which had control of the Mediterranean Sea, would not touch it, thus evading inspection.

Among the three masters of the Renaissance, Raphael may be a little more obedient. Da Vinci and Michelangelo were not "gentle and tame". When they did not have a son, they longed for a son. A "rebel"...

  Pomona is more obedient, and she is an adult, not a teenager, and she knows that smoking is harmful to health.

   But she just couldn't help but want to be rebellious. Seeing her smoking, how angry should the 30-year-old antique be?

   Of course, he may also leave her alone, which is a more hurtful practice than strict discipline. Before Lucius Malfoy went to prison, he had to care about Draco's grades, scolding him for failing a girl, and then he went to prison, how could Narcissa be her sister Bella's opponent, and then Master Malfoy had a Death Eater brand on his arm that would never be washed off for the rest of his life.

   The conflict between Draco and Hermione was also fueled by her parents. Hermione was the first in her grade, and she must have been praised by her parents when she came home. As for how bad Draco was in a mood, Georgiana experienced it. Hermione has good grades, but is not good at sports. Draco has sports talent. He has also been a Slytherin Chaser, which is on par with Harry. However, after he was injured once, he was severely banned from the competition by Narcissa.

  Harry Potter's dangerous way of playing ball, so desperate for an inter-school game, how would his parents feel if they saw it?

   To make matters worse, Hermione's suggestion that Draco was on the school team because he had a rich dad and Harry was relying on his own talent would deny all the value of Draco's efforts.

   She doesn't like girls who are open-mouthed, like Draco's ex-girlfriend Parkinson.

   But what she hates even more now is Maria, she revealed the identity of the witch Georgiana, ok, so what? Send her to the stake?

  People are no longer living in the Middle Ages, the laws of various countries are abolishing torture, and Prussia no longer burns witches.

  Joseph II also wanted to repeal the statute on witchcraft charges, but was met with resistance.

  People have resistance in their hearts, "I oppose everything you said." At this time, they exert the majesty of patriarchy to force them, and they get more intense resistance.

  Watt's eldest son, Gregory, contracted tuberculosis, an incurable disease in this day and age, and they had to abandon him. Before Gregory got the disease, the couple hoped that Gregory could read them back, whatever he asked.

  This did not make Gregory restrain himself, but instead had more crazy actions, and finally got tuberculosis, and Watt had to put all his hopes on James. But this son was just as rebellious and joined a radical revolutionary organization.

   Such a watt can be far from the "hero" and "industrial leader" printed on the British pound. In the story, he watched the boiling water on the stove boil, the lid of the pot kept jumping up and down, and then he was the first to "invent" the steam engine.

  Watt improved the steam engine and improved its energy efficiency, so that the energy it produced would not be too heavy to lift. This is like Benjamin Franklin holding a kite and doing lightning experiments in a storm. Anyone who wants to imitate him is like touching the wire of a lightning rod when he sees thunder.

  The kite string is originally insulated, but after it absorbs water, it is not necessarily. To myth, a mortal does not necessarily need to be sealed with the title of a saint, not to mention that the church no longer has the authority to make a saint.

   She also doesn't want to "fight with words" like St. Catherine, debating who wins and who loses...

  Anyway, since the Archbishop's office left, Georgiana went to the choir's location and listened to them sing with Edgeworth and Gregoire.

  Richard looked at her.

   "What?" she said angrily.

   "Bad news?" Edgeworth asked.

   "Why can't men understand what women really want? Even a seemingly wise archbishop," she said angrily.

   Edgeworth and Gregua glanced at each other, but did not speak.

   She doesn't want to become a monster of "No one is allowed to enter", but she has to wait until she is out of anger.

   She listened to the hymn, but in her mind echoed the hymn of fools written by Erasmus:

  Life is more important than logic, inspiration is more important than erudition, change is more important than argument.

  If one day she wants to write an epitaph, she hopes to engrave this sentence on the tombstone, but she thinks that she will disappear like a bubble in the sea.

"People say it's unfortunate to be deceived. It's not really the case at all: it **** not to be deceived. Whoever thinks that a person's happiness depends on the facts, they're totally wrong; happy or not. It all depends on what he thinks about it. For the world is so complicated and vague that it is difficult to know with certainty, as the most self-righteous Platonic philosophers have said. Conversely, if one can know anything about It's pretty clear that this sort of thing is mostly something that interferes with the joy of life."

   Edgeworth looked at her.

   "Which wise man said this?" Edgeworth asked.

   "Erasmus."

  Richard looked surprised.

   "Not your old friend Darwin, but Erasmus of Holland." Georgiana said, "He wrote the Ode to Fools."

  Richard thought for a moment and nodded.

   "You know the language of the telegraph that I write, which is judged as a giant waving his hands and speaking with his fingers. Who said it?"

   Before she could speak, Edgeworth, who looked serious, was dancing in the church.

  Georgianna was amused by him.

"The joy of life has nothing to do with seeing or not seeing, Georgiana, it's about creating it." Edgeworth glanced at Father Gregoire "I did something very rude just now, and it looks like we can't continue. stay here."

   "Where are we going next?" asked Georgiana.

   "Go to Farron, I heard he is doing an interesting experiment, do you want to go?"

   "Of course," said Father Gregoire, and the three of them left the church together.
