The naturalization procedure was very smooth. It only took George half a day to come out of the Ceuta state capital. When he came out, he couldn't help but touch the pocket of his coat.
In his pocket was his household registration certificate.
Something he has been pursuing for many years.
That thin household registration certificate meant that he finally became a Tang Dynasty citizen, a Tang Dynasty citizen in the true legal sense.
Although he knew that even if the household registration certificate was lost or broken, he could get a replacement at any time, he still kept it close to his body very carefully.
On the way back, I touched my pocket dozens of times without realizing it.
By the time he returned to the European Hotel, he had become extremely calm, and faced the congratulations of his colleagues with a calm attitude.
Even when he was a temporary resident before, he had already strictly followed the standards of the Tang Dynasty gentry. Now that he has become a real Tang Dynasty man, he is even more striving to be decent in all aspects.
A decent Tang Dynasty gentleman!
This is his life pursuit, it can even be said to be his life philosophy.
On this day, his colleagues in the European Hotel were also happy for him, especially the management of the European Hotel.
Because George is very popular and has very strong work ability, he has already become a senior manager in the European Hotel when he was still a temporary resident. To be honest, the European Hotel is still under a certain amount of pressure.
People think it's inappropriate for European hotels to do this.
Although everyone in the overseas territories has a tacit understanding not to say it publicly, in fact some important positions will not use temporary residents. For example, the senior manager of the European Hotel, this position may not be used by many capable Datang people.
He could sit on it, but he, a temporary resident, sat on it.
Although after George became the manager, he was mainly responsible for business dealing with temporary residents and powerful indigenous customers, and his subordinates were also temporary residents.
But this is still somewhat inappropriate in the eyes of many people.
Now, these problems no longer exist.
Because George has successfully naturalized as a real Tang Dynasty citizen, there will be no problem in his subsequent employment at the European Hotel.
After get off work, George returned to his apartment in a happy mood. At this time, his maid Catherine was already ready, changing his clothes, getting slippers, and filling the bath water with him.
After taking a bath, George was in a good mood, drinking a cup of tea and reading the newspaper.
Catherine who was standing next to him saw that he always had a smile on his face, and immediately asked: "Is there something good going on?"
At this time, George put down the newspaper and nodded slightly: "Well, it's a good thing. My naturalization application was approved!"
As soon as she heard that the naturalization application was approved, Catherine's eyes widened instantly!
She has been in Ceuta for a long time, so she naturally knows how difficult it is for an ordinary temporary resident to naturalize and become a real Tang Dynasty citizen.
There are so many temporary residents in Ceuta, but I heard that only a dozen or so can be successfully naturalized every year, and in rare years there are even only a few people.
And most of these people are in relatively special circumstances. Ordinary applicants like George often don't get one in several years.
Catherine's surprise was within George's expectation, and even he could see why Catherine's gentleness and even deliberate flattery tonight after learning about her naturalization was for the purpose of getting George to marry her.
She has had this idea for more than a day or two, and now, it is estimated that this idea is even stronger. Balance
But who is George? Even before he was naturalized, he was already recognized as a respectable gentleman in the state of Ceuta.
As a decent gentleman, how could he marry a maid? He, George, would lose face.
Besides, Catherine didn't meet George's needs in many ways.
In George's view, as a personal maid, Catherine is now qualified. She does things neatly, the bed is warm enough, the voice is loud, and sometimes she wears less clothes.
However, it is limited to this.
He, George, has not been married in these years. It is not that he is no longer a gunman. In fact, as a senior manager of a European hotel, he was already considered a diamond king among the temporary residents of the station.
At the same time, there are also many indigenous dignitaries who want to marry their daughters to him.
Last year, a Viscount from Naples came to Ceuta for vacation and wanted to marry his daughter to him.
But George refused without even thinking about it. George was even very angry about it at the time. If the viscount hadn't been a guest of the hotel, he might have taken it as a falling out.
Are you kidding me? Who is George? How could a decent Tang Dynasty gentry marry a barbarian? If he did, George would lose his face and live in the upper class society of Ceuta.
George had previously considered finding a wife among a decent group of temporary residents, but he had high requirements.
This requirement does not mean that the other party should be beautiful or virtuous, but that the woman's family must be a decent family.
What a decent family?
Naturally, they are a decent family according to Datang standards!
To put it simply, apart from legally not being from the Tang Dynasty, in other aspects they must be exactly the same as the gentry of the Tang Dynasty, a temporary resident gentry family.
It is actually very difficult to find this kind of family in Ceuta.
Because in the entire state of Ceuta, there are few temporary residents who can be recognized by the Tang Dynasty as temporary residents like George.
Therefore, it's not that George has never thought about marrying a wife in these years, but he really can't find a suitable one.
On the other hand, his younger brother, George Han, had already gotten married last year, to the daughter of a temporary resident family who also immigrated to Egypt. Although he was busy at the time, as his only relative, George still went to attend the wedding in person and presented his own
bless.
As the elder brother, George has fallen behind. But now, he is thinking about getting married. He has become a member of the Tang Dynasty, and his position in the European Hotel is not low. In the huge state of Ceuta,
He is a respectable and respectable person, and this family must be in need of a mistress.
As soon as he had this idea, someone came to his door the next day. He was a man in business attire, with blond hair and blue eyes. George recognized this man. His surname was Song. He worked in the Ceuta State Yamen and was a deputy section chief.
It is worth mentioning that he is one of the earliest naturalized people in Ceuta.
In other words, this blond-haired, blue-eyed Deputy Section Chief Song is a genuine Tang Dynasty man.
As soon as Deputy Section Chief Song came in, he opened the door and walked into the mountain: "You and I have known each other for many years. I came here today because I was asked to tell you something!"
"Matchmaker?" George really didn't expect that the matchmaker would come to his door first before he bought his house or his carriage.
Deputy Section Chief Song nodded slightly: "Well, do you know Li Jieming, who was naturalized three years ago and works for Pacific Shipping Company? He has a daughter who, like you, was just naturalized this year!"
