Reborn and become a Great Scientist

Chapter 429 168 Achieve new results as soon as possible

Chinese people don't have to be particular about things sometimes, but they have to be very particular about things sometimes.

Marriage is a major event in life, and it is a situation that must be paid attention to.

Of course, because it is overseas, not at home, the content of the emphasis needs to be changed accordingly.

For example, carrying a sedan chair is already very difficult to achieve in a world where the density of cars is getting higher and higher.

Arriving in London, a world-class metropolis, a group of people carrying a sedan chair and walking on the busy road was simply a wishful thinking.

Not to mention that obstructing traffic may be punished by the London police, whether it will cause traffic accidents and cause personal safety is also a big problem.

Also, Chen Muwu's bride and her natal family are both foreigners, so we cannot ask them to comply 100% with Chinese etiquette.

For example, in the customs of the old society, the bride had to spend the three days before the wedding similar to the "Cold Food Festival". She was not allowed to eat food cooked with fireworks, and could only eat candied dates, walnuts and other dried fruits to satisfy her hunger. This was the so-called "hungry marriage" a custom.

Another example is a custom called "crying out". A girl should cry before getting on the sedan to express her reluctance to leave her parents.

Not only that, when we cry for marriage, we also sing a so-called "weeping song".

This kind of crying wedding requires not only the bride herself to sing, but also her mother, brother and sister-in-law to cry together.

The mother's family was crying because their family was poor and had little dowry, and they told their daughter to be a good wife after she got married.

When the bride cries, she cries for her parents' upbringing, thanks for the hard work of purchasing the dowry, and thanks for the brotherhood of her brothers and sisters-in-law.

This kind of thing, even if we don’t consider whether Eve, Madame Curie, Irena and Frederic can accept this strange custom, even if they agree with Chinese customs, how can we teach them to use that kind of emphasis to sing the wedding song? Singing it out is also a big problem.

In addition, there were other things such as "dowry", "jumping the sedan chair", "noisy new house", etc., all of which were canceled by Mrs. Chen with a wave of her hand.

But the etiquette on Chen Muwu's side was not lacking at all, especially the financial resources. Mrs. Chen asked Chen Muqiao to basically prepare according to the top betrothal gifts in Shanghai.

There are "golden buds and jade dust" composed of pure gold jewelry, silver coins, tea leaves and flour, as well as dates, peanuts, longan and pine nuts imported from China at a high price by Chinatown shops, which means "having a child early". What does it mean? With auspicious dieffenbachia and auspicious grass, as well as a lot of cash.

The sedan used to welcome the bride was adapted to local conditions and replaced by a dozen Volvo cars that little Marcus had sent from Sweden. The lid of each car was pasted with the Chinese character "Double Happiness" cut out of big red paper. ".

But there are only four people in the bride's family, including him, and there is no need for so many cars.

So the remaining cars became vehicles to transport guests from their hotels to the wedding venue, Royal Richmond Park.

As the saying goes, "It's not easy to learn well, but it's easy to learn bad things."

I don’t know where someone learned that in Chinese weddings, there is a custom of blocking the door when the groom welcomes the bride.

The news spread from ten to ten, and the guests that Chen Muwu invited from all over the world were spoiled by coke.

Although Chen Muwu thought that he had never offended anyone in Europe for so many years.

——But the visiting guests didn’t think so.

It is true that they regard Chen Muwu as their good friend, but this does not stop them from being more willing to see the groom make a fool of himself at the wedding.

Especially de Broglie, who once claimed to be one of Chen Muwu's best friends, suddenly began to regard himself as Eve Curie's natal family.

The reason why de Broglie suddenly changed his attitude was because Chen Muwu did not invite him to be the best man.

But Chen Muwu's choice is actually an unspeakable secret.

De Broglie failed to be his best man, purely because of Mrs. Chen's failure.

She felt that although the other party was a French aristocrat, but he was already in his thirties and was still unmarried, he must be a libertine who slept in flowers and willows all day long. She must not let such a person be the best man.

When Mrs. Chen chooses her son's best man, she doesn't look at his social status.

There were only two things she told Chen Muwu. One was that she must not have been married yet, and the other was that she was younger than Chen Muwu.

Although de Broglie complied with the first rule, he was rejected by the second threshold because of his age.

Chen Muwu, who has been so busy these days and is preparing to get married, has no time to explain the matter to De Broglie who came from Paris online.

The angry de Broglie immediately changed from Chen Muwu's friend to Eve's mother-in-law who came to London from France. He was more concerned about the wedding reception than anyone else.

On the morning of the wedding day, when Chen Muwu, who was wearing a red wedding dress, came to the house where Eve's family was staying temporarily, he found a group of people headed by De Broglie outside the door, waiting for him with a smile.

Chen Muwu didn't expect that they actually knew about this custom. He hurriedly touched his body, trying to find a few pounds to use as red envelopes for everyone to open the door.

Unexpectedly, money could not buy these people who were determined to see Chen Muwu's jokes. Debroglie imitated the Chinese greeting gesture, smiled and cupped his hands towards Chen Muwu: "Chen, just a red envelope today is not enough, you If you want to enter this door and take your bride away, you must first pass our level."

After all, because his aristocratic status was there, de Broglie did not engage in rude behavior such as violently blocking the door or violently breaking in.

He handed Chen Muwu a piece of paper: "Chen, if you want to enter the door behind me for free, you just need to answer the questions on this paper. When the answers to the questions on this paper are all correct, At some point you can go in and meet the bride.”

Chen Muwu now wonders whether this de Broglie has traveled back to the future and watched Tik Tok or Douyin in that time and space.

Otherwise, how could he come up with such a perverted way to block the door?

Anyway, Chen Muwu did see a video on Douyin that required the best man to complete a postgraduate English listening test before he could be released.

However, de Broglie's test is really child's play for Chen Muwu.

Even without Chen Muwu himself, the powerful team of groomsmen behind him can completely solve the problem: Dirac, Oppenheimer, Heisenberg and von Neumann, all of them are masters of problem solving.

Dirac, Heisenberg and von Neumann were each working on the problem seriously, but Oppenheimer was absent-minded.

It wasn't that he was dissatisfied because he had to do the questions, but he felt that he shouldn't be the best man because his parents' side was more lively.

After three times, five times and two times, von Neumann was the first to finish all the questions on the paper. After checking that the answers above were correct, Chen Muwu successfully received his bride.

Ai Fu's head was covered with a hijab, so Chen Muwu couldn't see what her expression was at this time. The hotel was not very spacious, so after picking up the bride, the group took a Volvo car that had been prepared and left the hotel for the Royal Richmond Park on the outskirts of London.

Because Chen Muwu had already published his marriage information in the newspaper, which clearly stated the specific time of the marriage.

So when a group of them walked out of the hotel, the reporters who had gathered outside started pressing the shutter of the camera like they were free to film.

This is all tomorrow's news content. As long as you can capture some details that others have not discovered, you can get a large bonus from the editor-in-chief.

When no one was paying attention, little Marcus stepped forward and handed some pounds to the reporters holding cameras, asking them to take more photos of the cars in Chen Muwu's wedding convoy, intentionally or unintentionally.

If it hadn't been for Marcus Jr.'s reminder, the reporters might not have noticed the logo on the car.

Not to mention taking other people's money, they quickly focused their eyes and cameras on the row of black cars lined up outside the hotel gate, and saw car logos they had never seen before.

"Sir, what kind of car is this?"

"Volvo, a new car brand from Sweden, is the safest car in the world."

If nothing else goes wrong, Marcus’s words introducing Volvo will appear in the news about Chen Muwu’s marriage tomorrow.

After everyone got on the bus, the reporters' tasks for today were all completed.

Everyone knew that Chen Muwu's wedding venue was in the Royal Richmond Park in the suburbs. The security of that place was extremely tight. Without an invitation letter for today's wedding, you would absolutely not be able to enter.

Generally speaking, Western weddings prefer to use white as the main color of the wedding.

Western culture was introduced to China in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. After decades of development, many people have accepted the idea of ​​wearing a suit with a wedding dress.

This is especially true for students who have studied abroad or compradors in the concession.

Looking through wedding photos from the Republic of China period, as long as those wearing wedding dresses during the New Year are basically the two types of people above.

But Chen Muwu decided to do the opposite. Under his orders, his eldest brother cooperated with the park management staff to turn the main color tone inside and outside Richmond Park into a gorgeous red.

The status of guests at the wedding is more important than the last.

In addition to the witness being Rutherford, the director of the Cavendish Laboratory, the one slowly entering the room holding the bride's arm was the famous German physicist Einstein.

——Yes, although it is a Chinese-style wedding, some improvements have been made based on the impressions of the guests.

Yorick Curie was unable to catch the wedding of his two daughters, so Mrs. Curie could only ask his good friend Einstein, who also had a close relationship with Chen Muwu, to do it for him.

However, among all the people with specific tasks in this wedding, the one with the highest status and the one who surprised Chen Muwu the most was neither his teacher Rutherford nor the love who brought Eve with him. Einstein, and certainly not Joseph de Fleriot, the French ambassador to Britain.

——The reason why the Ambassador also came to Chen Muwu and Ai Fu's wedding was because he wanted to give the two newlyweds a marriage certificate.

Although they got married in London, neither Chen Muwu nor Eve were British, so they couldn't go to London's City Hall to go through the marriage formalities.

There were only two options for making their marriage legal.

Or, like Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin, who got married in Ottawa, go to the embassies and consulates of the Republic of China abroad.

Or go to the French embassy in London, Eve's country, to go through the corresponding marriage procedures.

The Republic of China's legation in London was now in an awkward position.

That is, the diplomats who originally belonged to the Beiyang government all left the UK and returned to China, leaving only one person behind.

The diplomats sent by the Jingjing government to replace him have not yet been appointed.

Of course, even if the new diplomats from Beijing had arrived in the UK, Chen Muwu did not want to deal with them.

So his and Eve's marriage certificate ended up going to the French Embassy in London.

Even if Eve marries an ordinary person, because she is Madame Curie's son-in-law, the French Embassy will definitely take this very seriously.

What's more, Eve's husband is Chen Muwu, a young physicist who is currently very famous in the scientific community. The venue where the two of them held their wedding was the Royal Richmond Park, which is related to the British royal family.

Due to all the above circumstances, the French Ambassador to the UK, Joseph de Fleriot, chose to go to the scene to congratulate the newlyweds on their wedding and issue them a marriage certificate.

It stands to reason that the French ambassador in the UK represents the head of another country at the diplomatic level.

However, Chen Muwu was the most surprised when he saw the choice of flower girl for his wedding.

Since you have chosen a Western-style wedding, there is nothing wrong with having a flower girl scatter flower petals for the bride.

But the identity of this flower girl candidate is really too noble.

Now it seems that she is just the eldest daughter of Prince Albert, Duke of York, the second son of the current British King George V.

But only Chen Muwu, the protagonist of the wedding, knew that this person was the future queen and the one who had been in power the longest.

Chen Muwu looked at the Duke of York sitting in the guest seat with some surprise. The other party just clapped and smiled and winked at him.

After Chen Muwu and Aifu finished praying to the heaven, earth and high hall, before entering the bridal chamber, they added a speech by the witness according to the Western wedding process.

Rutherford, who has always been very stable, cheated his good student in this link.

His words made the groom's face turn red.

"Dr. Chen is my student. He has achieved countless achievements in science. I hope he can continue his efforts and achieve new achievements as soon as possible in his life."

If Eve hadn't covered her face with a hijab, her face would probably have been even redder than Chen Muwu's.
