Chapter 350: Courtship
Diamonds are very precious industrial raw materials for the Senate, but in this time and space, diamonds can be used to scratch glass has not been popularized, so the diamond ring in front of Jacqueline's eyes at this moment is certainly not used to cut glass or polish stone, it must be used to express love.
Jacqueline's face couldn't help but light up, as the princess of Medenor, the princes and nobles who pursued her can be described as like a carp crossing the river, if you really want to queue up, you can line up along the five-star square of Oriental Port all the way to the end of the Corniche. Although she is said to have never been married, she can definitely be regarded as reading countless people, and she has been at ease between the Medeno royal family and various Medeno power groups for a long time, not to mention ordinary men, even if it is a very high-status Prince Yaning or Prince Medeno in her eyes, she is no different from ordinary men, nothing more than looking in the mirror every day to pick out a few of her own clothes, like a girl, which makes her feel disgusting. However, the Xiao Jing in front of her was different from any "status" man she had seen before, compared to those people, Xiao Jing not only had humor, almost all-round knowledge, and although his appearance did not quite match the aesthetics of the Maidno people, it did not affect Jacqueline's desire to spend time with him in the slightest. In the concept of the Maidno people, the Wuguo people are not only short and thin, but also have arrogance that comes from nowhere for any foreign "barbarians", but they are relatively timid when it comes to fighting, and they often only choose to besiege the enemy rather than attack the battle with the Maidno people. The most annoying thing is that the official does not count, which is a very bad experience for the people of Medno, who do business all year round.
But whether it was Jacqueline or the rest of Medeno, facing these Chinese elders in the Oriental Port, they didn't feel the habits of those Wuguo people at all, compared with the Wuguo people, the senators were more respectful of foreign cultures and people, and in their words, friends came and had good wine; And against the foreign invasion of the enemy, they are frontal without the slightest retreat, even if their own strength seems weak, they will never have the slightest willingness to back down, which proves their other famous saying - the jackal has a shotgun when it comes. Although this straightforward foreign policy makes the Maidno people, who have always relied on power to promote hegemony, feel very unhappy, they are more willing to deal with the Chinese in comparison.
The patriarchs standing around couldn't help but be a little stunned at the moment, the naturalized people present didn't know, but they knew that this was the "marriage proposal" that girls in the old world talked about and looked forward to, almost no girl would disdain this kind of thing, and there were even many girls who were carried away by the excitement and vanity of the moment and agreed to marry in ignorance and married themselves easily.
But Jacqueline doesn't know what Xiao Jing is doing now, she can understand diamonds, she can understand kneeling, but isn't diamonds just a luxurious ornament? Isn't kneeling on one knee a sign of respect for royalty? Why are these two things put together? She couldn't help but look around, trying to get a hint from the look or movement of the woman next to her.
Liu Liting, who was on the side, just sat there in a daze, looking at Xiao Jing, who had become an acquaintance, kneeling on one knee in front of a Medeno woman at the moment, looking so solemn, as if she was carrying out some particularly solemn ceremony, Xiao Jing had a diamond ring in the box in her hand at the moment, and she also had a similar style, you must know that the Senate equipped almost every elder with a diamond ring, in order to commemorate the place where she came from in this way, Many patriarchs gave their own one to their other half when they got married, and that's how her one came about. At this moment, even if she doesn't understand what Xiao Jing is doing, she can guess from the ring in his hand, this is obviously a marriage proposal! Liu Liting couldn't help but look at Jacqueline with some envy, this foreign woman is really good-looking, but I heard her husband say that this foreign woman is still the princess of Medeno, and that is the emperor's daughter! Although Xiao Jing is a veteran and one of the five executive committees, even if the founding of the People's Republic of China has been proclaimed, this great China is still like a joke at the moment, just a city country, even if the port of Zhancheng is added, it is only on dozens of square kilometers of land. She has worked in the Ministry of Commerce and Trade for a long time, and she is very aware of the number of naturalized people in China, and even with the population growth during this period, the entire population of the country will not exceed 100,000. However, Medeno is different, and just by interrogating Medeno prisoners, it can be confirmed that at least in the Pacific Eastern Fleet, there are at least fifty warships of various types, and there are more than 30,000 Medeno sailors on these ships alone. And that's not counting the merchant fleet, which alone has more than 300 ships in the Pacific Asia, and more than six million ships and cities all over the world. Therefore, even if Xiao Jing's identity is equivalent to that of the king of China, it is still too inferior to the Maidno people, and I am afraid that it cannot be compared.
And Xie Mingfang just smiled and glanced at Jacqueline, as a female elder who crossed over from the old world, she knew very well that the appearance of the princess in front of her was very sought after by the male patriarchs, Xiao Jing just started very early, if Xiao Jing didn't start, Zhang Yuan would definitely follow, so she was not surprised that Xiao Jing was impatient to propose to Jacqueline now. Jacqueline is like a red apricot on the wall, without her coming out of the wall at all, with her presence, there will be many elders climbing up the wall one after another to pull her out.
"I love you!" Xiao Jing's face turned red, and then he finally said this sentence, which made Jacqueline take a step back slightly. These words touched her a lot, the man in front of her was the "Sino-Malaysian Friendship and Peace Agreement" that she talked about together, so his power is definitely one of the best in the Oriental Port, she has also received a lot of care from him during this time in the Oriental Port, and her good impression of him is better day by day, but this does not mean that she is about to marry him! Jacqueline is the princess of the royal family, unlike the daughters of ordinary families, there is almost no freedom of self-choice in marriage, she doesn't even have the right to throw hydrangeas for the daughters of ordinary landlords, her existence is just to give the Medeno royal family one more option to marry, as for her happiness and joy, she has basically said goodbye to her when she is an adult.
"I ...... I ......" Jacqueline's words were not in a good way, "you ...... What do you mean? ”
"I love you and want to spend my life with you." Seeing that the beautiful woman in front of him was so nervous that he couldn't speak, Xiao Jing calmed down, he took a deep breath and said, "I am here, solemnly swear to you, I promise to use all my strength to love and protect you, and not let you be wronged at all......"
"I ......," Jacqueline said even more unpleasantly, "I can't promise you now......"
"It doesn't matter if you don't promise me, I like you, I love you, please everyone here now to help me testify." Xiao Jing said and waved his hand at the naturalized people in the audience whose mouths were open in a daze, and suddenly a burst of earth-shattering cheers broke out below, "Okay! "We remember!"
Although the naturalized people were not familiar with what the chief above was doing, they cheered loudly one by one in the spirit of watching the excitement and not thinking of a big deal, while the Medeno naturalized people who had cheered loudly at the princess before directly shouted, "Okay! "Long live the Senate!" "Promise him, princess!"
Even if praying to the princess is a custom of Maidenor, the naturalized people of Meideno nationality also know that their previous actions have seriously crossed the line, although they do not know what it means to be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, but their actions are equivalent to "treason", and they are also afraid that they will be investigated by the counterintelligence department in the future - many of them have already been investigated, and it is very difficult to endure the disgrace. But now Chief Xiao is actually courting the princess, what does this mean? In other words, once the princess nods and agrees, then the princess is also a member of the Senate, and when Chief Xiao and the princess get married, then what kind of treason is this? It's all from the Senate! Therefore they also cheered and urged the princess to nod her head.
"Marry him!" "Marry him!" Soon the cheers turned into slogans, and many naturalized people began to shout slogans spontaneously and rhythmically. They shouted very happily, but Jacqueline standing on the stage was in a different situation, she didn't want to accept Xiao Jing's pursuit, and she had semi-publicly announced her "love relationship" with Xiao Jing to the elders of Dongfang Port in the cafeteria before, but it was just a two-way relationship, and now she doesn't know if Xiao Jing is a marriage proposal, but she can't make the decision about marriage proposals!
As a princess, her marriage must first be discussed and pre-approved by the Medeno Royal Council, and then approved by her father, so that she can marry, and it is completely useless for her to nod her head. And whether it is possible to marry another force, this requires the investigation of that force, and also requires that force to form an alliance with the Medeno people and share technology and military - these are absolutely impossible things for the Chinese! You must know that she personally presided over the negotiations between China and Malaysia, even if Xiao Jing helped her from time to time, but she still tortured her to the point that she couldn't sleep for several days, and even kept the members of the negotiation team awake at night, and had to stay up all night to discuss negotiation strategies and revise the terms of the negotiation. Not to mention the sharing of military and technology! If she didn't have that, how could she have been allowed by her father to marry?
She couldn't advance or retreat from the crowd at the moment, and as the cheers became more and more neat, her face was red and white for a while, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on the diamond ring held in Xiao Jing's hand.
"Eternal love......" Her eyes couldn't help but be drawn to a small line of small words on a silver-white metal ring. She has seen the world, and she basically has several sets of rings or necklaces created by the best craftsmen in the entire Yaning Continent, but she has never had such neat and small words on any ring ring, which means that this ring alone has already thrown off the skills of the Maidno and Yaning people. She couldn't help but tilt her head slightly, and there was a word behind her, "To the person she loves the most" Seeing this, her heart couldn't help but beat wildly, and her breathing couldn't help but become much shorter. She had never heard such sensual love words, and when she looked at Xiao Jing at the moment, Xiao Jing's sincere face was extremely pleasing to the eye at the moment, and she couldn't even control herself from nodding. However, after thinking for a long time, she still took a few steps back, looked around at the stunned naturalized people and patriarchs, then turned her head and ran towards the audience, and soon ran through the VIP tunnel into the foreign combustion engine car parked on the side of the road, closed the door and refused to come out.
"Old Xiao, you're too slippery!" Sun Wenbin laughed in a low voice beside him, "You didn't even say hello in advance, you proposed so abruptly, how could you have to summon all the five hundred elders if you said it earlier!" ”
"It's impossible, okay," Xie Mingfang was speaking on the side, "More than ten of the five hundred elders are now going north with their troops, and now they are all in Taiwan, and there are three or four in Hong Kong, even if they want to be recalled, it will take two or three days." ”
"Hehe," Yang Minghuan also came over, but his face was completely different from Sun Wenbin and Xie Mingfang, obviously with a lively expression, seeing Xiao Jing standing up, he reached out and gently patted the dust on Xiao Jing's knee and continued in a low voice, "There is a way that my race must have different hearts, these Maidno naturalized people are now unreliable, you just win a Maidno princess, I am afraid it will be difficult to gain their loyalty." ”
"I know," Xiao Jing also whispered, "but I really want to marry this girl now." ”
"Well, I won't fight with you," Yang Minghuan continued, "I do have an idea, judging from the reactions of those naturalized Medeno people, this princess has quite a strong influence, if we can make the Medeno group leaderless, she should have the ability to turn the tide, and at that time, we can compete with the fishermen for profit." ”
Sun Wenbin was stunned, "I'll go, when did you start to become so black-hearted, Lao Yang?" ”
"Black heart?" Yang Minghuan smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Where is this called heart black?" As chairman of the executive committee of the Chinese Senate, I want to guarantee China's interests, as long as we have our own interests, any other interests can be lost. ”
