African Nationhood

Chapter 216 Figure it out
  After the ceremony, Shi Jintang led his two wives back to the tent set up in the park. Kelly immediately stopped pretending and said to Shi Jintang and Ye Rong: "Hurry up and help me!"

Ye Rong hurried forward and quickly helped Kelly untie the red Jifu and took off the cloth strip wrapped around her belly. In order to look good in the Jifu, she tied the cloth strip for a while.

Although it was only during this period of the ceremony, she was afraid of hurting the baby in her belly.

After untying the cloth, Kelly relaxed and took a big breath. She looked very bold and unrestrained, completely lacking the dignity and elegance of the previous ceremony.

Shi Jintang looked at his wife looking so angry and laughing, he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Seeing him smile, Kelly glared at him angrily.

"It's all your fault, and you still want to laugh at me?"

Shi Jintang waved his hand and begged for mercy, "Yes, yes, it's all my fault. I'm sorry, dear wife."

Ye Rong listened to the two talking and laughing, and also smiled.

She didn't expect that Mr. Shi would make such an arrangement. In order to give her a status, she went to see Guo Songtao from the Qing Dynasty and got the title of "Jianzuo" from him.

Now, she and Kelly were equal, and she was grateful to Master Shi from the bottom of her heart.

Shi Jintang reached out and held the two women's hands, "Today's marriage is not the end, there are still many days ahead.

I hope you two can live in peace. Even if you can't live in peace, don't show fighting in front of me. Can you promise me? "

Kelly nodded and said sincerely: "I can do it!"

Ye Rong also nodded, "I will listen to you, Master."

Shi Jintang can only believe three points of the two women's words, because they have no conflict of interests yet.

After their children are born, their interests will be inconsistent. Therefore, he can only make an agreement with the two women first.

A far-reaching gentleman's agreement concerning Nanhua Company.

"I have something to make clear to you. You are both equal in my eyes. No matter who has a son between you two, he will be my legitimate son.

To be fair, primogeniture will be implemented in my place. "

"Primogeniture?"

Kelly had some confusion on her face, "Can't my daughter?"

Shi Jintang shook his head, "In the eyes of Eastern people, the son is the legal heir of the father, and this is not negotiable.

Therefore, no matter which of you two gives birth to a son, he will be my future heir. "

Ye Rong felt a little shy when she heard this. Although she was already married to Mr. Shi, she was not pregnant yet.

Therefore, this was disadvantageous for her, but there was no point in rushing the matter. She had already given up her position as the principal wife.

Mr. Shi resisted the pressure and put himself in the position of an equal wife. She should be satisfied.

If you are lucky enough to have a male child, it means that God pities you and the honor you gave up has been returned to you.

If you are unlucky, you have already gotten so much, which is not bad.

So Ye Rong nodded in agreement, "Master, I listen to you."

Although Katie was a little reluctant, she loved Henry deeply after all, and her current honor was given to her by Ye, an oriental woman.

If Ye refused, her children would not have the right to inherit. What else would she be dissatisfied with?

"Okay, I accept your decision."

Both women accepted it, and Shi Jintang breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, you guys take a rest here and I'll go outside to socialize with the guests.

Governor Robinson just left in anger, and President Kruger and President Brand also protested over the matter. "

Hearing that so many dignitaries were angry, Ye Rong was a little worried, "Master, will you be okay?" Shi Jintang squeezed Ye Rong's hand hard and said with a smile: "It's okay, the main purpose of letting them come here is not They came to our wedding for other reasons, so nothing will happen to them."

Hearing Master Shi say this, Ye Rong felt more at ease, "Then be patient when you see them and don't argue with them."

Shi Jintang chuckled and scratched Ye Rong's nose with his hand, "No, they have to beg me for this."

After saying that, Shi Jintang leaned over and kissed Kelly on the forehead, and then walked out of the tent.

Shi Ming leaned forward and whispered: "There's a call from the dock. Governor Robinson is going to board the ship and leave."

Unexpectedly, the governor was so impatient, Shi Jintang smiled a little, "Go and stop him in person and ask him if he wants to know what happened at Rand Farm.

If he still insists on leaving, tell him that a huge gold mine has been discovered there. "

When Shi Ming heard about the extra-large gold mine, he couldn't help but hesitate, "Extra-large gold mine?"

"Well, go quickly, don't let him really leave."

Shi Ming took the order and left. Shi Jintang took out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette. He took a few puffs and then walked slowly to the tent where the distinguished guests were accommodated.

As soon as the curtain of the tent was opened, several dignitaries inside the tent turned to look over. When they saw clearly that it was Shi Jintang, they turned around one after another.

Ouyang Geng was sitting in the tent comforting several dignitaries when he noticed Boss Shi coming. He got up and came to Shi Jintang and whispered: "These people are very angry and think your approach is too bold."

Shi Jintang laughed: "Everyone who comes to my side of Southwest Africa has probably not visited it yet. Would you like President Kruger to come with me for a walk?"

Paul Kruger didn't have the qualifications to be tough in front of this honorable white man, and he didn't know what the other person was planning. He took the pipe out of his mouth and said, "Okay, please come with me for a walk."

After saying that, the two people left the tent and came to the waterside of the lake. Paul Kroger looked at Shi Jintang's red wedding dress. He couldn't help but advise: "This time it's a little too much. The British will not tolerate it." You provoke their bottom line, after all, you are still a British subject."

Shi Jintang shrugged, "Nothing, he will be back later."

Paul Kruger was immediately curious when he heard this, "Who is it, Governor Robinson?"

"Well, yes, he will be back soon. Let's wait for him."

"Waiting for him? Why are you waiting for him? What are you plotting between you?"

Seeing the suspicious look on the old man's face, Shi Jintang dropped the cigarette butt at his feet, crushed it out, and blew out the last puff of smoke.

"Have you ever had any doubts about Rand Farm?"

Hearing Shi Jintang take the initiative to mention it, the old Boer said: "Of course I'm suspicious, but when I saw your people carrying corpses outside one by one, our people didn't dare to come close, for fear of really contracting the disease. Why is it not an infectious disease?" ?”

Shi Jintang looked at the old Boer with a calm face, and said solemnly: "Well, those people did not die of illness, but were silenced."

"Quiet, because... you discovered something, right?"

Shi Jintang nodded, then pursed his lips and stopped talking.

The old Boer became anxious and asked: "What exactly did you find? Is it a diamond?"

Shi Jintang still kept his mouth shut and didn't speak, which made the old Boer almost jump in anxiety, when he saw Governor Robinson walking towards them quickly and out of breath.

Seeing Governor Robinson's anxious look, an ominous thought suddenly flashed through the old Boer's mind.

"You haven't discovered another gold mine, have you?"

Shi Jintang smiled and nodded, "Dear President Kruger, you guessed it right.

But this time the gold mine is not small, but a very large gold mine!"

Hearing this, Paul Kruger's eyes suddenly darkened and he almost fainted.
