Chapter 26: A Match Made in Heaven and Betrothed
Knowing that Admiral Peter was his brother Peter, Mai Ke put a heart in his stomach. Then the two of them hid in the house and sneakily together for a while before they came out together.
"Report to the general! Whether we will enter the port next or return to the base, please instruct!" Seeing the two of them come out, the former ship commander stepped forward. How can it be negotiated for such a long time?
"Incoming port. Peter commanded quietly. The two watched the reaction of the mid-level officer, who was most familiar to former Peter. As a result, both came to the conclusion at the same time - he did not have any doubts.
With Mai Ke there, the boat gang naturally did not stop it. The U.S. warship was moored in a good deep-water port without any problems. Then the first thing was to find Meng Ruofei, and there were some things that had to be made clear to her.
However, there is no need to reveal something too unbelievable to her. One has nothing to do with her, that is, she doesn't need to cooperate, and it is useless for the other to tell him, lest she think that the two have occasional nervous abnormalities.
Ruofei got on the boat with trepidation, and said in her heart that not long ago, the two families were like roosters fighting, why did they come together so quickly? There would be no fraud, would it be for Peter's own handwriting, which was written by him very familiarly.
As for why Ruofei remembers Peter's handwriting so deeply, it is because his handwriting is so bad. Although Peter is still sloppy in speaking Chinese, the level of writing is several streets apart. The reason is that it is estimated that either his talent for writing is extremely poor, or he has never worked hard. Even if it is rotten like this, it is still the result of Ruofei's strict teaching, which has increased by 50 percent.
Through the long gangplank, board the U.S. warship, Ruofei carefully observed this steel behemoth. From the comparison inside, she knew that this big guy was much stronger than her own wooden boat. My own boats, which are basically made of wood, as long as they are wrapped in a layer of iron in the most critical place, they feel very advanced.
At this time, Peter and Mai Ke came out to meet her. Mai Ke is still Mai Ke, but who is the handsome general next to him who has a straight military uniform and a twinkling star? Looking at his body and face, he is the guy he is familiar with. But what's the matter with this outfit? It can't be Peter's own brother.
Seeing Ruofei stunned, it was not beyond the expectations of the two. Peter was straightforward and unchanging, and couldn't stand the confusion of his sweetheart, and he couldn't help it without her first explanation. So, he hurried forward and said to her. "Ruofei, what's wrong, don't you know me?"
Hearing him speak, Ruofei was sure that this was her Peter. Although it is seriously packaged in this admiral's costume, it is still the straightforward and impatient Peter.
She said "oops" and punched him when she went up, shouting, "What are you okay to change into and play with?" ”
Mai Ke next to him also took the opportunity to make trouble, "It doesn't matter if you don't know Peter, Miss Meng must not mistake someone else for Peter, hahahaha!"
At this time, Peter, who was pure in nature, couldn't hold back, and said to Ruofei seriously, "It's not me to change clothes, I'm the supreme commander of this warship." "He could still hold back, not to mention that he was the commander-in-chief of the entire U.S. Pacific Fleet.
Then Peter told her about his situation. Of course, it was according to the caliber that he and Mai Ke had discussed in advance. To put it simply, Peter was originally the rank and position he is presenting, and all the American troops in the Pacific are under his control.
He came to Chinese mainland in civilian clothes, which was also within his purview. This warship is here, just to meet him.
After the two communicated, although Ruofei was suspicious of some of his arguments, he basically accepted Peter's accusation against him. I guess if Mai Ke told him, it would be good if she believed half of it. It seems that being a person is really good, at least in terms of communicating with people and gaining trust, the efficiency is relatively high.
The three of them returned to the command room, where the former Peter met with Mai Ke. As soon as he sat down, Mai Ke asked Ruofei, "Peter wants to propose to you, but he is thin-skinned and can't open his mouth." Therefore, as an eldest brother, I will ask you: Do you agree to marry him?"
As soon as these words came out, Miss Meng, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, suddenly turned red. Although she was willing to do so a long time ago, she asked in person, how could she be embarrassed by a yellow flower girl?
McKe then explained to him that Peter was about to leave to do something uncertain. I don't know how long the two will have to wait when they meet in the future. The sons and daughters of the rivers and lakes, happy to enmity and hatred, make a decision in one word, there is no need to twist and pinch.
Then he repeated, "Do you both agree to live and die with each other, and grow old together?" If you agree, I will preside over and operate it for you; ”
"Agreed. ”
"Agreed!"
The two said almost in unison. Ruofei glanced at Peter, and quickly lowered his head. Today, this kid looks much more pleasing to the eye.
Three days later, a grand wedding will take place. This is what Mai Ke has done in the most convenient way in a limited time. There weren't many guests at the wedding, but it wasn't shabby.
That Meng Batian was the first to arrive. After receiving Mai Ke's notice, he didn't even catch his breath, so he took a fast boat down the river. It was supposed to be more than a day's journey, but it took more than half a day to arrive. He's a little unsure, isn't that too fast? No one mentioned it the last time they left.
As soon as he arrived in Gwangju, he heard that Peter had become the admiral of the US army, and his heart was happy, just like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup on dog days. I have been making trouble for most of my life, and I have not come out of the small ditch of the river. Look at his own half of his son, who has trampled the boundless sea under his feet.
In the past two days, he has been looking at his son-in-law, and the more he looks at it, the more he is uplifted. I woke up laughing several times when I went to bed. It's so damn grandma's eyebrows raised. In fact, there is another aspect of his pride, this Peter is under the training of his daughter, and he is called a respectful and filial to him, and he does not call his father and does not speak.
No, as the woman's parent, he didn't wait to meet and accompany those high-ranking officials, but sat on a Taishi chair next to the welcome front desk, holding a hookah, and leisurely looked at the crowd of people who came to give gifts and congratulations.
Greeting guests today is a hassle because there are so many visitors. However, it was difficult for Mai Ke, he sent Wen Fu to be the main welcome, Ning Zhi was the deputy to welcome the guest, and the bookkeeper was arranged by Ning Ningrui, and she sent the chief bookkeeper who had been helping her to keep accounts with the new bookkeeping method.
As for the wedding venue, Mai Ke searched all over Gwangju and couldn't find a suitable one, the key is that they are too small. In the end, it was simply not held on land, but on ships. Peter brought the central command ship from the base, along with seven other warships, the same size as Peter's original one.
These eight warships are arranged around the central ship, like the stars holding the moon, evenly dispersed in eight directions. Ships are all connected by pedals, and the pedals are covered with a red carpet throughout. However, this procedure was done by the Gwangju Nyeongjia.
The first to come up and register for the gift were the ten dragons, who admired Peter like a five-body caster. Without Peter leading them to victory, most of them would have gone to tea with Lord Yama now.
The gifts they give are not very valuable, the key is that the time is short, and they can't be exchanged. Although after knowing the news, the ten dragons made Gwangju a mess, but most of them still didn't find anything they could handle. As a result, everyone basically gave one thing, a silver ticket. A large stack per person. There are at least 180,000.
These people don't just give gifts, Peter is their benefactor, and Miss Meng is half of their helper. So whether it's willingness or responsibility, they are all bleeding profusely.
Then came the ten helmsmen. These people are all in the lower reaches of the river, relatively close to their nests, and have time to rummage through the cabinets to show off their homes and give gifts with good things. So their gifts are a lot more advanced. Fist-sized pearls and five-foot-tall coral abound.
A helmsman who was quite old and had a weather-covered face took out half a piece of steamed bread, colorless and transparent, and was full of crystal things, saying that he had treasured this thing for a long time. He didn't know what it was, but he liked its color very much, so he took it out and gave it to the newcomer today.
Yingbin and Lao Meng didn't know what it was, but they both thought it looked good. Go and call Mai Ke to identify. Mai Ke looked at it and gasped. Oh my God, such a large diamond! In terms of quality, weight, and color, it is much stronger than the so-called "Star of Africa", the world's largest diamond.
It was the turn of the pirates to give gifts, and people could see what a treasure was. They were stuck on the sea routes, and the goods to and from the merchant ships, and even the lives of people, were taken by them, and of course they took the best. At this time, borrowing flowers to offer Buddha and using them to congratulate your new owner on her new marriage is just a piece of cake.
The American GIs are even more interesting. They didn't say goodbye, they were all a box of foreign guns, the same ones they used in the clash a few days ago. These guns represent the most advanced weapons of the U.S. military. Peter's deputy, on behalf of the central command ship, sent a ship-mounted gun. At the same time, he personally gave the bride a small and beautiful pistol. Peter knew that this guy was really in love.
Behind it is the gifts of the Ning family, the local government, Gwangju foreign merchants, local tyrants and other forces. Even the local Christians sent congratulations.
It is estimated that this was arranged by Pastor Liang Fa. Mai Ke deliberately spent a lot of effort to find him and let him be one of the witnesses to Peter's wedding. The two of them exchanged a few words in a hurry, not to mention, their understanding of some basic beliefs was quite close.
Although the gift-giving session was busy and had an hour, it was just a preparatory program. The wedding that followed was the main event. Just as everyone was about to close the stall, a thin, withered, ragged young man ran in.
"The beggars came to congratulate the little beggars! Congratulatory gifts were presented - a broken bowl, a big coin!"
It's this kid again. When Mai Ke went to look for Liang Fa the day before yesterday, he saw this young man in a corner, wrapped in a broken sack, trembling there. He couldn't help but have a hidden heart, walked forward, and touched his head, and his tentacles were hot. When asked, I found out that he hadn't eaten for three days.
So, Mai Ke invited him to a nearby restaurant for a meal. Mai Ke ran for a day, and at this time he was also hungry, so he rushed to eat with him. After a meal, the two brothers chatted quite closely. It turned out that this little beggar turned out to be the leader of the beggar gang in Gwangju.
When the two separated, Xiao Qi was alive again. Mai Ke made a special announcement about Peter's wedding, and invited them to help his disciples come and attend. In fact, not only the beggars, but all the people of Gwangju were invited to watch the ceremony. Anyway, the port is so big, you can see the wedding on the warship, and there is no problem with how many people come. The number of people who can board the ship is limited to a certain number.
So he came today, and sent two important congratulatory gifts on behalf of the beggars.
At this moment, a melodious bell rang from the central ship, and the wedding was about to begin.
