Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, I, the rice class leader

Chapter 282 Chapter 282: A happy marriage, the Gao family blossoms!
No one knows what Gao Yao and Li Deng talked about in the study.

Anyway, when Mr. Gao came out, he was very proud.

Soon, the Oriental Newspaper in Haojiang directly published the news that Mr. Gao Yao would marry Li Wanhua, the fifteenth daughter of the Li family.

The two parties are scheduled to hold a wedding at Fengxin Temple tomorrow morning.

Fengxin Temple is the alias of San Lorenzo Church. It was founded in the mid-16th century and has a long history.

As soon as the news came out, everyone in Haojiang was immediately alarmed.

The Li family of Haojiang and the Gao family of Hong Kong Island merged. Are the two behemoths standing in the same boat?
The water surface of Haojiang River, which was already restless, suddenly boiled.

"Master."

Datian Er Xiao Jingzhao, who was holding a cigarette, looked for Cheng Yiming who was leaning on the cigarette stand and smoking a big cigarette.

Haojiang only officially banned the opium trade last year, and it was also the last place in the Far East to ban opium trading.

However, the prohibition was a prohibition, and the Portuguese stipulated that in view of the importance of the contract, the opium franchise under the original method would still be valid until the expiration date.

Damn, just take off your pants and fart.

"What's the matter? Are you in a panic?"

Cheng Yiming slowly put down his cigarette. He came from a big city and liked to take a few puffs when he had nothing to do.

Many places are now banning smoking, but this certainly won't trouble him.

Especially here in Haojiang, although the money comes a little slowly, there are no taboos here.

Cheng Yiming didn't want to mention how much he liked it. He felt that there was only a little money here, otherwise he would be happier than in Shanghai.

"Boss."

Xiao Jingzhao jumped to his feet anxiously. It had been a while, and the stationmaster still had to take a few sips.

He handed over the newspaper: "Look."

"Gao wants to marry the daughter of the Li family tomorrow."

Cheng Yiming picked up the newspaper and read it carefully. He cursed: "Damn it, a rich man is just a supporter, and he just picked up a beautiful woman?"

Li Wanhua, as a concubine, was able to win the honor of the most beautiful woman in Haojiang, of course because she deserved it.

Milk-like skin, tall figure, versatile, and beautiful autumn water hibiscus.

I've been to Haojiang several times, but I can't find anyone more beautiful than her.

I don’t know how many heroes want to be her servants.

At that time, everyone guessed that those who could win beautiful women must be from famous Western families.

Who knew that he would be carried away by Gao Yao?

The baby cabbage raised in Haojiang married someone from Hong Kong Island?
Even Cheng Yiming can't stand it.

"Boss, that's not the problem now, is it?"

Xiao Jingzhao scratched his head: "Now Gao Yao and the Li family are both in-laws."

"If you knew we were going to make it clear..."

Cheng Yiming looked at each other sharply.

As soon as Xiao Jingzhao's words reached his mouth, he retracted his words. He hesitated and said, "What will happen if the Westerners take action?"

"You're crazy."

Cheng Yiming scolded: "It's not like you don't know what these ghosts are like."

"It's their job to get paid, to stand out? When have you ever seen them stand out?"

Cheng Yiming said disdainfully: "Master Liu from Zhongshan County is my best brother."

"When it comes to guns, we have more guns."

"These ghost guys are useless."

As the webmaster, Cheng Yiming was much more confident than Liu Fangxiong, so he handed over his hand: "What's more, is this money for us?"

"The party and the country are currently suffering from internal and external troubles. It is time for us to serve the Three People's Principles."

"If these unscrupulous people were not protected by the party-state, how could they have achieved such great success? Asking them for some money is to give them face."

Xiao Jingzhao asked: "Boss, will the plan continue?"

"nonsense."

Cheng Yiming said: "Brothers have been searching for so long, running for so long, and finally found the clues."

"If we stop now, how will we explain to our brothers?"

He sat up.

Xiao Jingzhao quickly ducked down to help Cheng Yiming get his shoes and put them on: "Boss, then..."

He hesitated and said: "Do you want to kill the pig later?"

"That depends on whether he knows each other."

Cheng Yiming said: "We are here to make money, not anger. If he cooperates, I don't mind letting him live."

Xiao Jingzhao smiled apologetically: "That's what the boss said."

"I'm afraid that Brother Xian will come out to mediate when the time comes. If I don't give Brother Xian face, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy rice."

"That's what happens later."

Cheng Yiming emphasized: "We are working for the party and the country. Why is a wise brother not a wise brother?"

"He gives face, and we give face, it's that simple."

Cheng Yiming then said in a deep voice: "Have you found a good person?"

Xiao Jingzhao nodded: "Don't worry, boss. We have never shown our faces. There will be no future trouble."

"Da Tian Er."

Cheng Yiming said with a cold face: "Boss Dai and I have learned a trick over the years, that is, only dead people have no future troubles."

"I don't need to tell you how serious the consequences would be if this matter were leaked."

"Don't be soft-hearted."

Xiao Jingzhao felt a chill in his heart, and he quickly responded: "I know, boss."

"I promise it will be done properly."

Only then was Cheng Yiming satisfied, and he said, "Da Tian Er, there's nothing I can do about it."

"There are so many mouths up and down asking for food, how can we not borrow some food?"

"Anyway, that guy is not a good bird. He is just doing justice for heaven and does not live up to the Three People's Principles."

……

Therefore, Westerners are a bit better and are much more open-minded when it comes to marriage matters.

No, Gao Mou had just made an engagement with Li Wanhua, and the two of them could already hold hands and stroll around the Haojiang River.

Just on this point, Gao Yao felt good.

Li Wanhua was shy and timid at the moment, no longer shy.

That is to say, Gao Mou must be open-minded, otherwise he will definitely do something wrong.

"Wanhua."

Gao Yao said: "I'm going to buy a property here in your name later, so you can travel between the two places."

Gao Yao's base camp is on Hong Kong Island, and his career and connections are all there, so it is naturally impossible for him to come to Haojiang.

As for Li Wanhua, no matter whether he is a Westerner or a Chinese, one thing is actually the same.

The water thrown by the married daughter.

In other words, if she marries and obeys her husband, she will naturally go to Hong Kong Island with Gao.

But this is a bit wasteful.

Gao wants to marry Li Wanhua not only because she is beautiful, but also because she can take root in Haojiang for the Gao family.

Favors are actually things that are as cold as tea when people leave, so no matter from which aspect, Li Wanhua must come to Haojiang often in the future.

Li Wanhua is a smart person. She understood Gao Yao's meaning with a glance: "Okay, I will come here often."

"We really hit it off."

Gao Yao patted the back of Li Wanhua's hand and asked, "I plan to buy a house here so that you can have a place to rest when you come back later."

Gao Yao's impression of Haojiang was that of a gambling city. Apart from that, he really didn't have any other impressions.

Then he asked: "Where do the Portuguese people here live?"

For example, the place where Portuguese people live is the safest and richest place, which is exactly the same as that on Hong Kong Island.

"Songshan."

Li Wanhua's heart was beating like a deer, and she whispered: "It doesn't have to cost so much."

"fool."

Gao Yao said: "You are mine, how can you call me a waste?"

"That means I can't pick the stars in the sky, otherwise I will pick a bunch of them and make them into a bracelet for you."

Li Wanhua's eyes were full of autumn water, and she thought that he could also coax people. "The reason Dady wants us to hold the wedding in the church is because he wants to officially introduce you into the Portuguese circle."

Li Wanhua studied in a special school for women, and her main learning content involved secretarial skills such as English, French, and material organization.

In addition, she is also proficient in Eastern culture and knows very well the corresponding customs of Eastern people.

He immediately explained: "There will be many people coming tomorrow."

Gao Yao smiled, Haojiang itself was nothing special. Its rise was entirely dependent on the east wind from the interior.

Its main function is also a window to the outside world.

"We in the East have a saying."

Gao Yao was very happy with Li Wanhua's special explanation: "Worship at whatever temple you go to."

"I fully respect your customs."

That night, Mr. Gao, who fully respected the customs of foreigners, rode back to the Yangma.

It’s just making trouble!
The next day, Fengxin Temple was crowded.

Li Wanhua was wrong. Not many people came, but very, very many.

It can be said that in Haojiang, everyone who can come is here, whether they are Westerners or Chinese celebrities.

To talk about a few key points, the person who helped preside over the wedding was Luo Ruowang, the then 18th Catholic Bishop of Haojiang Diocese.

The person who led Li Wanhua on the red carpet was Covina, the then governor of Haojiang.

In addition, there is Pedro Luobao, who is responsible for communicating between the Hao government and the Chinese people, and most people habitually call him Lao Luobao.

On the surface, he is the director of the Economic and Trade Bureau, but in fact, he is the godfather of Haojiang.

He Xian, Fu Laorong, Gao Kening, Liang Chang, etc. only had the opportunity to make money with his approval.

Their group is the mastermind behind Haojiang gold smuggling!
As for the young man He Xin...

Before, he could only be regarded as old Luo Paul's pawn...

I won’t talk about Westerners, only the Chinese.

Fu Laorong, who had not been seen in public for a long time, arrived with his eldest son Fu Yinquan, as well as Gao Fuming, the current handler of the pawnbroker king Gao Kening's family.

As for He Xian, I won’t talk about it. He is a matchmaker and he is the biggest one today.

"Brother Bai, be happy."

He Xian smiled and said to Bai Fanyu: "Your good son-in-law marries the daughter of the Li family. It will be much easier for us to work in Haojiang in the future."

"I'm so happy."

The more Baifanyu looked, the more worried he became. He whispered, "Axian, it's not like you don't know my details."

"I am not short of money, nor am I short of people."

"It's just a shortcoming."

"What does the Li family mean by having such a big scene?"

Baifanyu said: "Isn't it obvious that he wants to support his daughter's rise to power? Want Yue Chang's head? Damn me."

"Fortunately, my precious daughter doesn't know yet."

He Xian thought to himself that the newspaper had already been published there, how could he not know?

Boss Bai is comforting himself.

He smiled and said, "Brother Bai, no matter how great the Li family's reputation is, it still depends on your uncle."

"Don't you still believe in your uncle's ability?"

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

The Li family's momentum was so great, but He Xian saw that the Li family was already strong on the outside but powerful on the inside. He couldn't help but look at old Luo Bao and his son.

Li Deng is no longer able to survive, and I'm afraid it will be Old Luo Bao who will dominate Haojiang next time.

He Xian took another look at Gao Yao, who was standing in front of the altar. He was really one of a kind, and he didn't know if Gao Yao could notice it from behind.

Bishop Luo Ruowang stepped onto the podium, and the scene immediately fell into silence.

Many Portuguese people believe in God. Luo Ruowang is the archbishop of Haojiang District and has a high status in the hearts of many Portuguese people.

"Dear guests, dear friends, welcome to the Church of San Lorenzo. Today in this sacred hall, we will jointly witness and bless the wedding of Mr. Gao Yao and Ms. Angela Melo Lideng. .”

As Luo Ruowang began to speak, the wedding officially began!
"Marriage is an affectionate vow between the two of them. They are willing to stay together for life through the promises they made to each other. For this reason, the church blesses their marriage vows. Although Mr. Gao Yao is not a Catholic, he understands the church's views on weddings and They attach great importance to married life and hope to receive the blessing of the Lord in the church. Our testimony today and the blessing of the church will also be a sacred agreement between the two of them."

When the music started playing, Haojiang Governor Covina took Li Wanhua's arm and walked in slowly.

Li Wanhua, who had been specially dressed up, was graceful and bright, and her temperament was unparalleled.

Everyone watched with eyes fixed, and felt even more regretful in their hearts. It was really painful that such a beautiful woman should be married off to an outsider!

"Congratulations, Mr. Gao."

Covina smiled and handed Li Wanhua to Gao Yao.

Li Wanhua looked at the man opposite her lovingly. She knew that he would be her only lover for the rest of her life.

Luo Ruowang continued: "Now, before we witness the marriage contract of the new couple, let us listen to a passage of scripture related to marriage as a starting point for blessing the new couple. The church also uses this scripture to encourage the new couple."

He opened the Bible and began to read: "It is not good for man to be alone, says the Lord God, but I will create for him a helper who will be called what he wants."

“So the Lord God formed from the dust every kind of wild beast and every bird of the sky,
They are all brought before people to see how they name them; the name a mortal gives to a living thing becomes the name of that living thing;

But he failed to find an assistant worthy of him.

Then the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and filled its place with flesh.

Then the Lord God formed a woman from the rib which he had taken from man, and he brought her to man, and they said: This is truly bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she should be called woman, for she is of The man took it out.

For this reason a man should leave his father and mother and cling to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. "

Hearing this, Li Wanhua's eyes filled with mist.

I didn't feel it at first, and I even felt a little depressed when I was at home.

Only when she heard the priest read it, she realized that she was going to have a new home soon.

"good."

Gao Yao said carefully with a smile: "From now on, you and I are one."

"Ah."

Li Wanhua responded in a low voice: "I will never let you down in this life. I also hope you can love me and protect me."

Gao Yao thought that foreign wives are straightforward. Even Bai Yuechang was as straightforward as a little white rabbit during the wedding.

It was in the latter half of the night that she dared to make trouble.

Luo Ruowang continued: "Your marriage should be permanent. Let your love for each other never end. It should be holy, without stains and blemishes. This is a match made in heaven. This is God's arrangement. This is no accident."

“The Lord God tells us that it is not good for a man to be alone, which means that he should have a woman by his side.

Women come from the ribs of men, and the ribs are close to the heart. God wants you two to be willing to build a life together, to care for each other, to understand each other, to help each other, and to build a happy life together.

Mr. Gao Yao, the ribs are close to the arms, and the arms are a symbol of strength, so God wants you to use all your body, mind, and all your strength to surround Ms. Angela Melo Liden at all times, so that she can be safe with you. Feel, have peace, have joy, let her have no tears with you, only laughter.

Ms. Angela Melo Liden, your ribs are close to your heart. God wants you to use all your body and mind to show a gentle smile, and use all your body and mind to create a warm life.

When the ship returns to the harbor after going through wind and rain, there will be peace with you and rest there; there will be gentle words with you, warmth with you, and loving and silent eyes with you, waiting for the return.

This is God’s special will for you. May God use His own words to establish an everlasting, rock-solid foundation for the lives of both of you.

May God be with you forever, bless you, and make your life happy, fulfilling and healthy. "

Gao Yao really admired this bishop for speaking so many words without even taking a breath.

The white rice fish over there was almost dozing off after listening to it. He asked He Xian: "Axian, what kind of plane does the ghost have?"

"Lori, are you talking so much nonsense?"

"If you ask me, just enter the bridal chamber directly."

He Xian thought to himself that Boss Bai finally accepted his fate. He smiled and said, "Foreigners also have many rules."

"But it'll be fine soon."

"We can just eat something later and go."

Baifanyu despises: "I think these ghosts are all so fucking poor. Why don't they just throw a big banquet when they get married? They are really lonely ghosts."

As he spoke, Luo Ruowang raised his tone: "Dear guests and friends, next we will see the solemn, sacred and even happy moment in the wedding. The bride and groom exchange sacred vows with each other in front of the Lord and all witnesses. , please stand up."

He Xian quickly pulled up the confused Baifanyu: "It's almost over."

"Dear relatives and friends, are you willing to be witnesses to the wedding vows of Mr. Gao Yao and Ms. Angela Melo Liden?"

"willing!"

The white rice fish thinks that the ghost guy is playing peepshow, at least the labor and management are not willing to do it.

"Mr. Gao Yao and Ms. Angela Melo Liden, today you come to the church and you will become husband and wife and sign a marriage contract in front of the Catholic Church, your parents, relatives and friends, and all the guests.

You know how sacred the love between husband and wife is and how important the responsibility of marriage is. You also know that marriage is a match made in heaven and must be stayed together for life.

Now, in the name of the Catholic Church, I ask you to solemnly declare your wishes. "

Luo Ruowang asked: "Mr. Gao Yao, it is your responsibility to be a considerate, loyal, gentle, and loving husband. You must support Ms. Angela Melo Liden from wealth and poverty, guide her, cherish her, and do your best. Will you be willing to open up her place in your life forever, dedicate your loyalty to her forever, be her harbor, keep her away from all dangers, and cherish her with unwavering love?"

Let me go, it’s finally my turn!
Gao Yao stared at the eyes as deep as the sea across the way, and said without thinking: "I do!"

On this day, the Gao family in Hong Kong married the Li family in Haojiang, marking the beginning of a wealthy family!
