The first time Chen Muwu met this royal servant, who had been with Prince Albert, Duke of York, was in the summer of 1924, after competing in the last swimming competition at the Olympic Games in Paris.

At that time, after a press conference in a room on the sidelines of the stadium, he went out to meet the British royal servant and invited him to attend a dinner hosted by the British prince and the Duke of York at the British embassy in France on a certain day of the month.

After that, when he returned to England, every time the Duke of York invited Chen Muwu to be a guest at his London home, or if he came to Cambridge University to find Chen Muwu, it was basically this royal servant who informed him.

So after seeing this royal servant in his home today, Chen Muwu was not surprised at all.

He already had his own opinion on this, probably because the Duke of York knew the news that he was about to get married, so he sent this royal servant to his house to congratulate him.

As soon as they met, the other party wished him a happy marriage, which further confirmed Chen Muwu's conjecture.

But seeing that the royal servant was empty-handed, could it be that he came to his house from the Duke of York, just to say "happy newlywed" to himself?

Chen Muwu was more or less disappointed.

The royal servant continued, "Dr. Chen, with all due respect, may I ask where you plan to hold this wedding?" ”

Chen Muwu named the hotel where the guests who came to attend the wedding stayed, and he had made an appointment to use the hall on the wedding day.

There happened to be an open space where the wedding could be held, and the guests lived there, so everything was easy to move around.

"If it's not troublesome, can you take me over there?"

After Chen Muwu finished answering, the royal servants put forward new requirements that belonged to him.

"Absolutely."

So after receiving the call, Chen Muwu, who had just run home from the hotel, took the royal servant back to the hotel where the guests were staying.

The other party followed behind Chen Muwu, and since he had not yet entered the door of the hotel, he looked around and observed the situation on the street.

After entering the hotel, the royal servant's eyes were still not idle, he looked east and west, and did not want to let go of any corner in his sight.

After doing all this inexplicable work, the royal servant turned to Chen Muwu and smiled at him very embarrassedly: "Before I came, His Royal Highness the Duke of York had asked me to bring a message, and he also wanted to come to your wedding."

"I came this time to inform Dr. Chen about this matter, and on the other hand, to visit the wedding venue.

"You know, every trip for the royal family is a hassle, and you have to do a good job of security.

"Dr. Chen, you have a good eye for the wedding and you have chosen a very good wedding venue. But there is one thing, and that is that security work is not very convenient.

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness the Duke also asked me to bring another sentence for him, Dr. Chen, Your Highness asked if you would like to go to Royal Richmond Park for a wedding.

"Your Highness also told me that please rest assured, if you are willing to go to Richmond Park for your wedding, all expenses for the decoration of this wedding venue will be borne by His Royal Highness the Duke of York."

Chen Muwu does have the location of this Richmond Park in his memory, and the first time he attended a dinner hosted by the Duke of York after returning to England was in the White House in Richmond Park.

As introduced before, Richmond Park, which was named "royal" at the beginning, belongs to a royal garden of the British royal family in London, which can basically be compared to the Old Summer Palace on the outskirts of Shaojing City during the Qing Dynasty.

When the Duke of York got married, he was in the White House in Richmond Park, and for a long time, he used it as his official residence in London.

Richmond Park has an elegant setting with great views, and crucially, a well-tended open-air lawn that is perfect for weddings.

The things that are related to the British royal family, if not the best in the UK, will definitely be the top-notch.

And it stands to reason that this is still a private territory, unless you have a certain social status and identity, you can't go in and out casually.

Chen Muwu didn't expect that the Duke of York would invite him to hold a wedding there, and the world suddenly fell such a good thing, of course, it was ......

"It's cheap, don't take advantage of it".

So he politely thanked the royal servant: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Royal Highness, and thank you for your hard work and came home to inform me." Then I would be better than obey my fate, accept the invitation of His Royal Highness the Duke, and go to Richmond Park for a wedding. ”

Seeing that Chen Muwu agreed easily, the royal servants also nodded with a smile and nodded: "Dr. Chen, that's really good." Not only can you have a more spacious wedding venue, but our security work for His Highness can also be easier. Do you think you should send someone to Richmond Park and instruct the staff there and tell them what the wedding venue should look like? ”

Getting married, for Chen Muwu, is also "the first time a big girl gets on a sedan chair".

He only roughly knows what a Chinese wedding is, but Chen Muwu doesn't know anything about what this wedding will look like.

Chen Muwu could only leave the hotel with the royal servants again, and returned to his home again to explain the matter to his eldest brother.

When Chen Muqiao heard that the Duke of York of England was going to invite his younger brother to his private residence to hold a wedding, he felt both surprised and a little scared.

He has been in England for a long time and has learned a lot about the local customs of the UK.

Chen Muqiao knows that this Duke of York is the second prince of the current British emperor, and he has been crowned with the title of duke, so he is no longer an ordinary Beizi Baylor, but in the Qing Dynasty, at least he is a prince who can share the emperor's worries and errands.

This Prince Yue took the initiative to provide a venue for the third brother's wedding, and it was a good thing that night.

He was afraid that there were too many etiquettes on the British royal family's side, and he was a stranger who didn't understand anything, which might break the other party's rules.

However, the old lady of the Chen family was not as forward-looking and timid as Chen Muqiao, and finally made a decision and agreed to the Duke of York's invitation.

Chen Muqiao also left Chen's house with the royal servants who came to visit him today, and went to Richmond Park to decorate his wedding scene for Chen Muwu.

But the old lady of the Chen family also made a mistake of course, because when Chen Muqiao explained to her, she compared the Duke of York to the prince of the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, the old lady of the Chen family naturally imagined that the royal servant who came over today to deliver the message became the eunuch next to the prince, and when she left, she had to say that she wanted to reward others with something.

Fortunately, the two sides did not understand each other's language, one spoke Chinese and the other spoke English, and neither of them knew what the other was talking about.

Of course, Chen Muwu did not translate these words, he was afraid that this misunderstanding might lead to some trouble.

As the wedding date gets closer and closer, the number of guests who come to London to attend Chen Muwu's wedding is also increasing.

Capitsa, Blackett, and Dirac, along with their families, came to London early, not with the large contingent of Cavendish Laboratories, in order to come and help Chen Muwu before he got married.

The three of them were accompanied to London by Rutherford, the director of the laboratory.

Rutherford didn't know how to help with some chores, he came here because he had promised Chen Muwu a long time ago, saying that when he got married, he would definitely be a witness, so he came to London in advance and walked around the process according to the Chen family's arrangement.

When I saw the old man Chen Muwu again, I felt infinite emotion in my heart: "Dr. Chen, I still remember in my brain what you were like when you first arrived at Cambridge University.

"Although your appearance has not changed in any way now, it is still the same as it was back then. But no one could have imagined that in a flash, five years would pass, and in these almost 2,000 days, you would have achieved something remarkable in physics, astronomy, sports, mathematics and chemistry.

"And I seem to be the one who can't do anything, except that my beard is getting grayer and whiter. Or the only thing I've accomplished in the past five years is when I was invited to come to the Cavendish Laboratory.

"Alas, only now, it seems that my only achievement, is about to leave me."

At the end of his words, Rutherford played the emotional card with a hidden needle, and he still wanted to fight for it at the end to see if he could keep Chen Muwu.

"Teacher, please rest assured that no matter where I go in the future, you will always be my teacher."

Chen Muwu could only pretend to be confused, and as usual, he confused the meaning of Rutherford's words.

Another group of people came to Britain from the United States across the ocean, this time to the staff of United American Pictures, who carried various video equipment.

Because Chen Muwu provided the script and also served as the plot consultant of the film in his own name, the film about aliens directed by Van Punk was a great success in the United States.

Therefore, Lianmei Pictures also kept its original promise and sent a film crew to record and film all kinds of major events before and after his wedding according to Chen Muwu's requirements.

Marcus Jr. also came to the UK from Sweden, and the gift he brought to Chen Muwu is not known to be the most valuable of all the gifts given by the guests, but it must take up the most space.

Because Marcus Jr., in accordance with Chen Muwu's previous requirements, asked the Volvo car factory to produce a batch of right-hand drive cars that meet the British road rules, and then contacted the route and ship, and completed various procedures for the car to enter the United Kingdom, as promised, before Chen Muwu's wedding, these right-hand drive Volvo cars were sent to London to use as a wedding car for Chen Muwu's wedding.

After coming to London in person, he saw someone carrying a camera to record the busy situation of everyone before the wedding, and inquired about the film crew that they actually came all the way from Hollywood, USA, and Marcos Jr. knew how wonderful Chen Muwu's move was.

With the high influence brought by his wedding in London, England, it may be possible to make Volvo Cars, which has just been established and is not competitive in the European car market, suddenly enter people's attention.

In addition, if the documentary shot by Lianmei Pictures is released in the United States in the future, it will be able to open up the market in the North American continent at the same time.

Little Marcus didn't expect that Chen Muwu would be able to advertise their car in the top priority of his life, which was getting married.

Little Marcus who came to London this time not only came as a friend of Chen Muwu, on behalf of himself, not only on behalf of the Wallenberg family behind him, but also on behalf of Prince Gustav, the crown prince of Sweden.

The Crown Prince of Sweden is the heir to the Swedish royal family, and his actions in Sweden are not constrained.

But once he went abroad, to other places, it suddenly became a diplomatic visit, and he represented not only Prince Gustav himself, but also his father, His Majesty King Gustav V of Sweden.

Just when the Duke of York attended Chen Muwu's wedding in the city of London, he had to increase security and change the venue, and there were many things to death.

If the Crown Prince of Sweden had also come to England for a wedding, he would have encountered many more constraints than the Duke of York.

Prince Gustav was unwilling to cause trouble to others, nor to himself, so he could only regret missing Chen Muwu's wedding and appointing Marcus Jr. to express his blessings.

As a Chinese official who has personally visited China, the Swedish crown prince knows a little about the etiquette of Chinese weddings.

He knew that if he went to a Chinese wedding, he should never be empty-handed, and that it was better to give money directly than to bring all kinds of flashy gifts.

The Swedish crown prince asked Marcus Jr. to take away the wedding money he gave to Chen Muwu, but he didn't think that if he did this, it would also bring some trouble to Marcus Jr.

Because the crown prince of Sweden asked him to send money, Marcus Jr. also knew that the gift money was very important to the Chinese.

So should I send it myself? If so, how much should I send?

It's not appropriate to send less, and it's not appropriate to send more.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Marcus Jr. decided that his gift money was on par with that of the Swedish crown prince, and the two of them each sent 10,000 Swedish kronor to Chen Muwu.

That's the equivalent of £2,500, and you can buy even the most expensive Rolls-Royce in the UK.

The two gifts of the Swedish crown prince and Marcus Jr. are worth at least six or seven thousand yuan if they are placed in China.

For Chen Muwu five years ago, this huge amount of money will definitely make him excited.

But for Chen Muwu, who is now a big business, he only politely thanked Marcus Jr., and promised that he would donate their gift money to the account of Prince of Stockholm College as the school's future funds.

With more and more guests coming to London, Chen Muwu's wedding is finally about to begin.
