Chapter 472: The Arrival of the Daughter
After receiving the Boxer Rebellion in Shandong on the mainland supported by the General Intelligence Administration, Wang Guorui was also relieved. Because the Boxer Rebellion should have started soon, if nothing else. As for the Boxer Rebellion, in fact, history has also given it mixed reviews. In particular, he has too many feudal superstitions, and his so-called patriotic behaviors are carried out using feudal superstitions, so this is absolutely not good. And patriotism also has to pay attention to ways and means, and this kind of impulsive and violent so-called patriotism is actually no different from the kind of smashing Japanese goods in later generations. Because patriotism does not mean rejecting foreign countries, and still less loving one's country by destroying one's own things. What smashed Japanese goods, those Japanese people are even happier, because you smashed these, people still have to buy them. In this way, people are even happier, because most of these so-called "Japanese products" are produced in China itself, and then they are labeled with a Japanese brand. What's more, if you buy it, it's yours, and it's yourself who loses in the end. Therefore, this kind of patriotism is not advisable, and in the end it will not be able to hurt a single hair of the other party, but it will cause a huge loss to itself.
"Husband, the Dutch government has sent a telegram saying that Her Majesty the Queen should be visiting Taiwan in the next few days, and has taken the princess with him. You see what kind of etiquette we follow to receive them, whether it is according to foreign heads of state, or more low-key, private reception in the name of the Governor's Palace. Kang Tongwei asked.
Wang Guorui said: "Counting the days, my child should have been born last month, but I didn't expect it to be a daughter, that is, a princess in the Netherlands." However, it doesn't matter if her daughter is there, so Hong'er should be relieved. There is no tradition of confinement in the West, so she took the initiative to visit a few days after giving birth to her daughter. According to the schedule, it will be there in a few days. ”
Wang Guorui's child is a daughter. In this way, Zheng Hong should be relieved, because according to Chinese customs, it is impossible for a daughter to inherit the throne. And that daughter is also the heir of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, so they will have nothing to do with China in the future, so Zheng Hong should be relieved. However, it is clear that Kang Tongwei does not know what etiquette should be followed to receive this Dutch queen. Because the other party is the head of a country, it is natural to receive it according to the method of the head of state. But now she is also Wang Guorui's wife. So it should be in accordance with the Governor's Palace private reception, so this is a contradiction.
"It's been received in the same way as the visiting head of state." Wang Guorui said.
Kang Tongwei asked curiously: "Why?" ”
"Because internationally, it's supposed to be the husband of the Queen of the Netherlands, not the Queen of the Netherlands being my wife, and that's the order right, understand? And I am not qualified to greet my wife with the same etiquette as I am in the world. In addition, they have officially sent a telegram from the Netherlands saying that the Queen of the Netherlands is visiting, so it is also official. We treat foreign heads of state in the same way that we can all get them to solve these problems. This is the first time that we have a foreign head of state visit, and we must pay attention to it. Wang Guorui said.
"Okay!" Kang Tongwei said.
Soon. At the Keelung port in northern Taiwan, a grand welcoming ceremony was immediately held, after all, this was a visit by a foreign head of state. However, everyone also knows that Wang Guorui's woman came over this time, so everyone is also here to welcome "Madame". However, in everyone's eyes, this time it should actually be Wang Guorui reunited with his wife, and this time he also brought a mixed-race daughter. This daughter is a princess of the Netherlands, but she is not a princess of Taiwan. The princess of China in the future?
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
On the shore, Taiwanese troops fired a twenty-one salute. It's a welcome to the Queen of the Netherlands. It was a long time before the Dutch mission disembarked from the ship.
"Welcome, Mary!" Wang Guorui said.
"Hmm!" Wilhelmina replied as well.
And Wang Guorui took the initiative to step forward and saw William Minna holding a baby, which should be Wang Guorui's daughter. Wang Guorui saw that this daughter should obviously be a mixed race between the East and the West, because this daughter's hair did not inherit the golden color of her mother. And the bridge of the nose is relatively low, not as tall as Westerners. However, the skin is unusually fair, and it is not yellowish like a yellow person. And she seemed to open her eyes, and then she saw this father in front of her. But Wang Guorui can clearly see that his daughter's eyes are obviously green. It's kind of inherited from my mother's genes. So this is also a mixed-race child, but it is not ugly, but it takes into account the characteristics of the East, which shows that Wang Guorui's "planting is good"!
"Call Father!" Wilhelmina said.
Wang Guorui immediately said with some amusement: "She is only a month, how can she speak?" ”
"Father!" The daughter said suddenly.
"Oh?" Wang Guorui was surprised.
Wang Guorui didn't expect that his daughter would take the initiative to speak, she was only born for a month, and she spent time on the ship, so she could actually speak. Could it be that this is also the legendary January Nengyan?
"Great, Lilith can talk?" Wilhelmina said.
Of course, Wang Guorui didn't expect that his daughter would be able to speak in a month, and the first sentence was still Chinese. This is all good, so Wang Guorui also took the initiative to take this William Minna and his daughter to stay in the Governor's Palace.
"Mary, what's this daughter's name?" Wang Guorui asked.
Wilhelmina immediately said, "We gave her a Western name, Lilith. However, you should also give her a Chinese name. ”
"In that case, it's called Lily! Wang Lili is her oriental name. Wang Guorui said.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The Doge's Palace fired another twenty-one gun salutes, which was obviously the etiquette for foreign heads of state, and this made Wilhelmina frown a little.
"King, why did the Doge's palace still fire a twenty-one gun salute? Don't you think of me as your wife? Wilhelmina asked.
When Wang Guorui heard this, he was also a little depressed. Because he really didn't expect that the Governor's Mansion would fire a twenty-one salute again, which was obviously not done by Wang Guorui himself, but by Zheng Hong, the governor's wife. And this must be a little estranged, because William Minna and Wang Guorui have also officially married, so according to common sense, it should be a family. However, Zheng Hong actually arranged twenty-one salutes, which were obviously fired in accordance with the etiquette of foreign heads of state, which must have been a bit alienating.
"Your Majesty, welcome to the Governor's Palace!" Zheng Hong represented the people in the inner house of the family to welcome William.
And Wang Jiazhao, who was next to Zheng Hong, also took the initiative to run up, then looked at Wilhelmina's child, and then said, "Is this my sister?" ”
"Family photos, don't be rude! You should say hello to the Queen first! Zheng Hong said.
And Wang Jiazhao immediately asked: "Mother, isn't this my sister?" Also, isn't Aunt Wilhelmina here? ”
"No, she's not your aunt, you should call Her Majesty!" Zheng Hong said.
And Wang Jiazhao immediately officially said to Wilhelmina again: "I have seen Her Majesty the Queen!" ”
And William Minna also stroked Wang Jiazhao's head, and then asked, "This is the son born to you and Sister Zheng Hong?" It's still pretty cute! ”
"Well, thank you Aunt Queen for the compliment!" Wang Jiazhao said with a tiger's head.
"Mary, let's go inside!" Wang Guorui said.
And next, Zheng Hong arranged William Mina's mother and daughter in the guest room of the Governor's Palace, and then they lived in it. And Wilhelmina was still a little surprised, because Wang Guorui actually arranged a guest room for herself, which was considered a guest, but this made her feel like a guest, which made Wilhelmina a little depressed.
"Hong'er, why are you doing this?" Wang Guorui asked.
Zheng Hong spread his hands and said: "I greeted the Queen of the Netherlands according to the method of foreign heads of state, so I naturally did so." Moreover, husband, you also said that she is the queen of the Netherlands, and you should be the queen's husband internationally, not the queen is your wife. So, now that you are here as the governor of Taiwan, she shouldn't have much to do with you, so do I have any problems with business? ”
Wang Guorui was speechless, Zheng Hong's statement, so that Wang Guorui really can't find any fault, but this is all business, everything is done according to the rules, obviously not in line with the Chinese people's thinking of the society. However, Wang Guorui also roughly understood that Zheng Hong didn't want the Taiwan Governor's Office to have anything to do with the Queen of the Netherlands. Zheng Hong is reluctant to admit the relationship between the governor of Taiwan and the Dutch, she is only willing to admit that Wang Guorui is the husband of the Queen of the Netherlands, and she is unwilling to admit that the Queen of the Netherlands is the wife of the governor of Taiwan. In the final analysis, this is still for the sake of Wang Jiazhao's inheritance, which can exclude a very threatening opponent for her.
Wang Guorui was also a little helpless in his heart, because his family was inevitably mixed into politics, and once there was a political factor, it would not be so pure. Therefore, there are a lot of political elements in my family, so it is already a little sour. However, since he has chosen this path, he naturally has to go on firmly, because since he has embarked on this road, he shoulders the destiny of the country and the nation, and it is naturally impossible to retreat again. And all politicians, every politician's family affairs and state affairs are certainly inseparable, so this is not incomprehensible. (To be continued......)
