But Jack Henderson was not worried about this at all - although this time there were gains and losses compared to other small groups, the Western team in the Joan Navy did lose its only committee quota this time. But Jack

But I am sure that he will not be marginalized.

The reason is simple - among the one hundred and thirty-nine people, he is the only big-nosed white man. He is naturally the spokesperson for all Westerners in this group. This cannot be changed no matter what the election process is. Even if the committee is changed

People, when it comes to issues involving Europeans, they still have to seek their own opinions and cannot act on their own. In the final analysis, the authority of the committee is in the hearts of one hundred and thirty-nine modern people and the hearts of local people.

The concept is completely different.

It's just not easy to convince Anna to accept this concept - as a member of the Medici family, she is naturally sensitive to politics; because she was exiled by her family, she came to Asia alone, and she was full of insecurity; in addition,

She is a woman with a delicate mind... All these factors combined, Old Jack's efforts to make her let go of her worries were mostly unsuccessful.

In desperation, Jack decided to use the last resort to distract her attention.

…………

A few days later, Pang Yu, Xie Xi, Zhao Lide, Julie, Hu Wen and other friends who usually had good relations with them followed Jack's instructions and quietly sneaked outside the Baiyantan main base with prepared props.

Next to the hillside, there is a landscape pavilion here. People who like gardening have transplanted many exotic flowers and trees nearby. It is a good place for everyone to spread out and enjoy the cool weather.

But tonight this place was occupied - after enjoying a sumptuous and romantic candlelight dinner with his girlfriend, old Jack took Anna here on the pretext of taking a walk. The stone table in the pavilion had already been covered with velvet tops, and the

There was a bouquet of flowers and a beautiful velvet box - placed there by Julie herself. At this time, she was hiding behind the flowers with the others, quietly watching every move of the alien couple.

"...Move out of the way, you're blocking the camera."

Ling Ning and his wife Zhuo Yuan occupied the best position holding a digital video camera that they had brought out from the warehouse. After years of elimination, there are not many electronic products left that can be used, and the spare storage media is also gone.

Not much, but for tonight’s big event, it’s still worth consuming another storage hard drive.

From a distance, I saw Jack walking to the table, picking up flowers and gift boxes and handing them to Anna. The latter was a little stunned - she often received flowers and various small gifts, but Old Jack

This serious attitude made her feel a little unusual.

But before she could react, she saw that Jack had already opened the velvet box, knelt down on one knee, and handed the gift to his girlfriend - a platinum diamond ring placed on the crimson velvet. The ring was a modern craft product, cut.

The perfect diamond polyhedron shines brightly even in the moonlight.

"@#^※……"

——Old Jack finally proposed to her. He just said it in a foreign language, and the peepers hiding nearby couldn't understand a word of it. Only Julie was the exception. Because the Italian that Jack spoke at this time was originally intended for her.

Came here to ask for advice.

Anna was obviously very surprised. After only hearing a few words, she blushed and pretended to leave, but Jack shamelessly grabbed her skirt, making it impossible for the young lady to escape like the previous times. She could only slightly

Turn your head and listen to him.

Old Jack must have practiced this many times before. He held the diamond ring high in one hand and covered his chest with the other, just like the leading actor in a drama. He first spoke a lot impassionedly, and then his tone became sentimental. Anna was silent at first.

slang, but eventually started to respond in Italian too.

After the man and woman briefly exchanged a few words, the most exciting scene finally came - the woman turned her head, covered her face with one hand and lowered her head slightly, but allowed the man to hold her hand and put the ring on it.

On her finger... the proposal was successful

The group of relatives and friends behind the flowers immediately burst into cheers, and the fireworks ribbons that had been prepared long ago were taken out and shot into the air. Anna stared at the sudden appearance of the audience with her mouth open, her cheeks becoming more and more red, and she thought in a panic

She was about to run away, but Jack had already put his arm around her waist and generously expressed his gratitude to the friends who came to congratulate him as an unmarried couple. The experienced ladies such as Julie Huwen also quickly pulled Anna aside.

Go whisper and relieve her embarrassment.

The banquet attendants and others have prepared fine wine. Congratulations to Old Jack for finally reaching the end of his love race that lasted for more than three years - since he just captured the Princess and met the eldest lady of the Medici family for the first time on the ship.

At that time, almost everyone believed that they were a perfect match, and the relationship between the two has been developing naturally since then. However, in this era, it was too shocking for a young lady from a noble family to decide on her own marriage. Even Anna herself

My personality is already quite deviant, and I have lived among this group of modern people for a long time, receiving many of their ideological influences. However, when I really want to take this step, I still have many worries.

Originally, Julie had already persuaded her on Luzon Island and agreed to get married in Luzon. However, old Jack thought it was a success and happily went to talk to her about the matter. However, Anna ran away shyly.

A great opportunity was missed.

So this time Old Jack made the most complete preparations: candlelight dinner, romantic atmosphere, and flowers and diamond rings are also indispensable - among which the diamond ring was obtained from a modern lady after saying countless good things - with the technology of this era

But it is absolutely impossible to cut a diamond with dozens of reflective surfaces. Fortunately, this is just an ordinary decorative ring and not a wedding ring. Otherwise, no matter how nice you say, you will definitely not get it.

Fortunately, all this was not in vain, and the matter was finally settled. While Jack responded to everyone's well-meaning congratulations with a smile, his eyes also wandered around the crowd. After a while, he saw Pang Yu and walked over immediately:

"Pang, I need your help."

"oh?"

"Anna agreed to my proposal, but she made a request..."

——This seventeenth-century aristocratic lady did not ask for a luxurious house or a luxury car, but specified that the wedding must be held in a church. She believed that only the vows made in front of the cross of God can make the couple eternally loyal to each other.

guarantee.

Jack looked like he had a headache. It would not be difficult to meet this requirement in Luzon - there are many Catholic churches there. But it would be very troublesome on Hainan Island, because the Chuanchu people do not believe in religion, although they do not prohibit it.

The locals retain their original religious beliefs, but are very wary of any attempt to preach or preach here - including the establishment of religious sites.

So far, except for some pre-existing land temples and temples on Hainan Island, no new religious building has ever been built on the territory ruled by Chuanzhong in the past few years, even if someone has proposed

The request, or the direct search for someone to start the construction regardless of the matter, were all sabotaged by the bad guy Ade's ideas.

Therefore, there is no church at all on Hainan Island. Originally, where those Westerners lived, there was a small room with crosses and idols, which was considered a place for believers to pray. But as those Westerners all followed Old Jack to Lu

Song, this house was immediately destroyed and abandoned - Ade quickly had the house demolished without leaving even a trace of mourning.

Although they have returned with Jack now, they have not had time to rebuild. One of the more important reasons is that due to the influence of people like Qiong Haijun, these Western hired workers are no longer as pious in their faith in God.

In fact, the same is true for Anna herself - this aristocratic lady born in a papal family was originally exiled by her family because she showed doubts about religion. After arriving here, under the influence of modern people, she quickly accepted Darwin's theory of evolution.

.To this day, religious sentiments in her are more like a cultural tradition than a belief. The reason why she proposed to get married in a church is probably mainly because in the concept she formed since she was a child, it is impossible not to hold it in a church.

Call it a wedding.

A few words helped Old Jack analyze Anna's state of mind, and then Pang Yu comforted him and said:

"Don't worry, we will take care of this matter and we will definitely help you solve it."

Jack was overjoyed, and the last worry in his heart was completely put away.

…………

Soon after, Pang Yu fulfilled his promise - he cooperated with his colleagues in the infrastructure team and quickly built a building on the grassland near Baiyantan using bamboo, wood, silk, colored paper, flowers and dried thatch.

Medieval Gothic churches. The crosses and statues of Jesus in them are also easy to solve - just move them from the Princess. There is no shortage of such things on those Western ships.

Pang Yu has never designed a church before, but anyone who has studied the history of Western architecture will not ignore the characteristics of this type of religious building. Anyway, this house only needs to be used to hold a wedding, and there is no requirement for long-term use.

A temporary hall is enough.

After being decorated with a lot of bouquets and silks, when it was finally completed, the building was more like a very luxurious wedding shed than a church, but it was enough to make Anna happy. The wedding that day went smoothly. Medici Family

The eldest lady's attention was completely attracted by the modern white wedding dress and floor-length skirt... Professor Li and Aunt Song acted as the officiants, and there was a lot of excitement on Baiyan Beach.

After the wedding, Anna's butler and personal lawyer Andrew took out several documents and asked Old Jack to sign them, and then gave him some documents, title deeds and seals... Only then did everyone know that Anna, the noble lady, was really not

So easy to marry - she had vaguely mentioned before that in addition to enjoying the title of "Princess" in the Medici family, she also held the title of Countess in France. And the French regent Queen Mary who originally awarded her this title?

De Medici had special regulations for this title: when Anna gets married, this title and the corresponding fiefdom will be transferred to her husband's name. No wonder there are always people trying to force the marriage.

In other words, from now on, those Westerners should call old Jack "Sir Henderson". Moreover, if he can go to France in the future, he will also own a fairly small fief and manor there {Piaotian Literature
