Chapter 40: Angels also need promotional packaging Still in the dusty study room of the Florence City Hall, still next to the messy desk, the still young literary master Boccaccio bit his penholder with a haggard face, his expression was full of confusion and distress, and his eyes were even brighter.
It was red, as if he had just cried a lot. yznn In front of him, there lay a lazy little tabby cat acting as a model, lying on the window sill with its eyes narrowed, basking in the sun.
On the desk at his hand, there are also many photos and drawings depicting the cuteness of various cats, as well as small statues in the shape of cats.
But Boccaccio's pen is still blank, not even a letter has been written on the paper.
At this time, papermaking had been introduced to Western Europe by the Portuguese a century ago and was rapidly promoted because of its cheapness.
However, expensive parchment has not been completely eliminated, and is still used in some important documents such as papal edicts and king's edicts.
"Mr.
Boccaccio, I just asked you to try to write a short poem in praise of cats.
Why haven't you finished it yet?"
Seeing his passive performance, Queen Joanna, who came to inspect the progress, scolded with some dissatisfaction.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, it's not that I don't work hard, but although I have used poems of various genres to praise girls, heroes, flowers, and birds, I have never praised cats.
This is simply too much.
Beyond the limits of my imagination.”
Boccaccio replied with a gloomy face that Europeans' aesthetics these days were different from those of later generations.
They looked at cats as if they were tentacle monsters, so it would be awkward to write a hymn.
And his mind was not on this matter, "Well, may I ask, Your Majesty, my little flame, uh, no, it is Princess Maria, has really been summoned to heaven by the Lord, and is it absolutely true?"
He Said somewhat stammering.
"Yes, although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I found her tomb on the outskirts of Naples.
It seems that she died when the plague first broke out, so the living people can still build a more elegant tomb for her, probably It can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes.”
Queen Joanna sighed and replied that although there were often fierce conflicts within the royal family, and there were many brothers and sisters who killed each other, Maria was an illegitimate daughter after all.
She had no legal inheritance rights and lacked political ambitions, so she could never threaten Joanna. of the throne, so the relationship between Queen Joanna and this sister is pretty good, at least not to the point where they dislike each other.
Well, the private life is corrupt and the queue of lovers can fill a street, which may damage the reputation of the royal family.
Well, this idea is not wrong, but the problem is that the aristocratic royal families in Western Europe have never had any reputation on the issue of men and women.
To be honest, in this era of general moral decay in the upper class, and in Italy where Jiaozi has been regarded as a virtue since ancient times.
The ancient Roman Republic really had this weird custom.
There are a few nobles who are not dissolute at all, even the Pope.
Not clean at all, illegitimate children are said to be in the same class, not to mention that Princess Maria is still an illegitimate daughter.
It is normal to lead a depraved life, and it seems weird to be clean and self-sufficient.
Even Queen Joanna herself had three or four lovers before and after.
So since everyone is just each other, then don’t laugh at the black boar.
No matter how you look at it, you can’t despise Maria for having more lovers than herself.
More At this moment, a burst of loud music suddenly came from the window.
The two people in the room hurried to the window and looked out, and found that those "angels" with great magical powers had somehow found their way into the center of the most prosperous square in the city. , a giant Lucky Cat statue with gold coins hanging around its neck was erected, and something that made a loud sound was used to promote the sacredness of cats and the origin of the plague to people.
Of course, during the intervals between preaching and preaching, the holy white light of the "healing technique" would rise again and again, causing patients and their families who were instantly cured to hug each other and cry with joy.
In addition, several young nuns recruited from Rome were also forced to wear fluffy fake cat ears.
While persuading citizens who heard the noise and walked out of their homes to worship the statue of the cat god, they held small boxes to They raised donations.
Although it may be difficult to change the prejudice against cats in the hearts of most Florentine citizens, the novel decoration of this cat-eared hairpin still attracted many curious eyes.
While the two of them were silently looking at the giant cat statue and the cat-eared nun outside the window, classmate Wang Qiu, who had a halo hanging above his head and angel wings on his back, was also reading a few scrolls of paper while walking slowly.
Come over.
Boccaccio didn't pay much attention at first, but after just a chance glance, he immediately recognized what the manuscript in the angel's hand was.
He immediately shook his body, his legs shook violently, and a large drop of cold sweat slowly dripped from his forehead. .
"Lord Angel, regarding these indecent articles, uh, I think I can explain it."
"It's okay, it's just a few love poems and some dirty jokes, and it's written in such a subtle way that it can be shown to children."
Noticing that Boccaccio's face was pale and trembling, as if he was going to be sentenced to death at the next moment, Wang Qiu raised his eyebrows disapprovingly, raised the scrolls and said, "Sorry, I read this without your permission.
However, since Praise has put you in charge of drafting promotional documents, we must also try to understand your literary skills and see what your writing skills are."

As we all know, in human history, the standards of many things are constantly developing and changing.
The erotic poems and pornographic articles written by Boccaccio were already regarded as shameless and immoral in the eyes of people of this era.
However, Wang Qiu, who had read all kinds of AV videos, cartoons and sensual films, The novel through the eyes of modern people , but even pornographic readings may not be mentioned.
The words used in these articles and poems are both too obscure and too empty.
When expressing the beauty and allure of the female body and the taboo pleasure of affair, they also use a bunch of words that make people confused. metaphors and allusions.
Of course, the rhyme and rhythm of the style are well grasped, and the sentences are long and short in a regular pattern, but it is hard to understand what is being said.
If you don't take the theme into account, these things are probably similar to the incomprehensible theme lyrics of some third-rate anime works.
From Wang Qiu's point of view, Boccaccio can barely be regarded as a qualified Bagua master, but he is still ten blocks away from being an excellent pornographic writer.
However, in view of the asceticism that the church has consistently promoted for many years, Boccaccio obviously did not dare to think so.
He even thought that the "angel" in front of him was speaking sarcastically.
He looked at this guy who was so frightened that his face turned pale, his teeth trembled, and his body was like chaff.
He looked awkward even when he spoke.
Wang Qiu scratched his hair in distress, not knowing how to explain or comfort him, but finally decided to let the facts speak: he casually took out his smartphone and called up an "art film" in his collection, the Victoria's Secret Series Angel Theme Underwear show, then turn the volume on your smartphone to maximum.
As a result, Queen Joanna and Boccaccio were dumbfounded to see that on this small screen, a splendid and luxurious palace was displayed, and there were many bikini girls with snow-white wings on their backs and extremely gorgeous looks.
Bold in a palace They displayed their beautiful bodies freely, posing with each other, drinking and mingling, singing and dancing, kissing and playing, using all kinds of charming abilities to achieve such sensual enjoyment that surpassed the times for hundreds of years.
Boccaccio immediately blushed at the sight, and even I couldn't help shouting: "Oh God, do you angels enjoy such a wonderful life every day in the kingdom of the Lord?"
he said with great envy.
"Hey, how is this possible?
How can a poor person like me afford such top-notch luxury?"
Wang Qiu sighed helplessly, and replied in a rather "humbly" manner, "I want to step into that place."
In a top-notch club with lavish entertainment and feasting, if you hug such a world-class model and kiss her, you must have a net worth of at least hundreds of millions of dollars.
Well, it is probably equivalent to the more than one million florins you have here."
This amount of money, which had exceeded the imagination of medieval Europeans, immediately frightened Boccaccio, who had just been a little lustful.
"More than a million florins, God, are you not mistaken?
Even a king may not have such a large amount of property.
I have seen the accounts of the Florence Mint before.
Even if we add up all the gold florins circulating in the world, , I’m afraid there may not be one million.”
Boccaccio murmured this, but his eyes were still staring straight at the screen of the smartphone, reluctant to move away, "However, it is probably a blessing to be able to see such a scene.
The scene seems Change it to this, oh my god, this is it” I don't know why, but his eyes suddenly became more and more sparkling, and the breathing in his nostrils gradually became heavier.
Seeing this, Wang Qiu couldn't help but blinked in confusion.
He also turned to look at the screen of his smartphone and found that the video file of the Victoria's Secret Angel-themed underwear show had finished playing and entered the next video file, yboy's playboy cat.
Er Niang's special photo movie, the interesting scenes are definitely more exciting than the previous movie.
The blood of humans and animals is boiling: a group of sexy cat-eared ladies with almost completely naked bodies, delicate and white skin, and graceful figures, wearing only cat-ear hairpins, bell collars, toy cat claws and plug-in cat tails, are meowing infinitely charmingly.
Meowing, sticking out her pink little tongue, she was licking and sucking around a strong young man with eight-pack abs.
Seeing such an undisguised carnival of lust, even Queen Joanna and Mr.
Boccaccio present, both of whom had been bed-ridden for a long time and were not young children, could not help but blush.
The great writer Boccaccio, who was originally exhausted of ideas, suddenly had his imagination opened up and found that he seemed to have an inspiration.
One day later, the city of Florence, the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore, the temporary residence of the time traveler "angels" in this city "Oh my God, look at what this is all about.
I asked him to write some hymns and short essays praising cats, but instead he came up with a bunch of pornographic jokes and erotic poems about how to bring down the cat-eared girl.
Is it okay?
Do priests take these things to preach in brothels?”
Bathed in the colorful sunlight that shines into the room through the stained glass mosaic, looking at the pile of paper rolls with wet ink in front of him, Doraemon couldn't help but feel the veins on his forehead jumping, and complained to Wang Qiu who was delivering the manuscript, " What on earth is this Mr.
Boccaccio doing?"
"Hey, actually this is not bad, Doraemon.
After all, he has been engaged in pornographic literature for decades.

If you ask him to switch to writing popular science explanatory articles, wouldn't it be difficult for him?
Moreover, if these things are used for publicity, At least it can sell more cat ear hairpins, toy cat paws, bell collars and cat tails, which in a sense establishes a positive social image of cats.”
Ma Tong came over with a smile to smooth things over, "According to my opinion, in general, those who like to ooxx with cat-eared girls, even if they don't particularly love cats, at least they don't hate cats very much."
She said as usual Said so politely.
"That's not necessarily true, Miss Ma Tong.
Many office workers like those girls from custom shops who wear revealing leather clothes and dress up like little devils, but will they like real devils?"
Doraemon complained sharply, but Then he rubbed his head again with a headache and sighed. , "Well, now that it's like this, even if it's waste recycling, let's just print these little pornographic articles into leaflets and distribute them.
Anyway, it shouldn't be anything particularly important.
Now there is a bigger trouble that needs everyone.
How to deal with the total total?”
"Is the bigger problem that I can't raise money in Florence recently?"
Wang Qiu asked with a frown.
"That's not true.
Florence is also a famous financial center anyway.
Wall Street in the Renaissance era was full of rich people.
Of course, it was calculated based on the wealth standards of this era.
Although most of their property is in the accounts, Real money and silver The place is relatively scarce, but at least 2 billion yen worth of property should be able to be scraped together.
The bank of the Medici family just sent a representative to send 10,000 gold florins, and the church in Florence can also Provide at least fifty thousand florins in kind and cash."
Doraemon explained this, and then changed the topic, "The real problems are in the places where we have raised funds.
The old man, the Pope, just came over and complained to us, saying that because we put all the funds in each place, Churches and monasteries were looted and looted Having lost many people's small treasury, some church members in Rome and Avignon are now very resentful.
Although they dare not openly confront us angels, they are always passive and slow in work, refusing to properly preach the sanctity of cats, and even Spread bad words about us everywhere among the people.”
"Oh my god, these bastards are so ungrateful."
Wang Qiu's eyes widened when he heard this.
"If it weren't for us, most of them would probably lose their lives, so why bother?"
What’s the price?
Besides, we haven’t touched their most valuable real estate.”
"There is no way to do it now.
When they are sick and about to die, they naturally want to give up all their family property in exchange for their own health.
But when they recover, they start to feel distressed again, regretful, and even blame us for why No more free medical treatment and saving lives.”
Doraemon sighed helplessly again, "No matter what era we are in, human desires are always rising and never-ending." oshow7:
