Chapter 557 Street

"you are……"

"Oh... excuse me for disturbing you. I am Catherine, the landlord's fourth concubine. If you have anything to do in this courtyard, you can come to me." Catherine introduced herself, her expression was slightly hesitant, and she quickly continued;

"Excuse me, I see that Mr. Li doesn't seem to have anyone ready to cook. You can help lead the cooking in the courtyard. You can have two meals a day and three meat dishes a week. It only costs 2 yuan a month. My

The craftsmanship is quite good.”

Is this... to solicit business?

A question flashed through Richard's mind, and he took out the money and replied, "That would be great. This is 3 yuan. It would be even better if you could help me wash the dishes after dinner."

"You don't need so much. Washing the dishes and chopsticks is just a small thing that you can do for free."

"Take it, I have a big appetite."

"Thank you, sir. How many days have passed this month? Then I will count one month for Mr. Li from tomorrow to this day next month. Do you think that's okay?"

"Anything is fine." Richard responded casually. He noticed that Catherine was still standing at the door, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"

Catherine could obviously smell the fragrance of the fragrant tea in the room. She couldn't help but swallow her saliva on her white neck. Then her cheeks turned red and she hurriedly replied, "I'm sorry, I lost my composure. I don't have anything else to do."

After saying that, he left with a slightly flustered expression.

from beginning to end

Richard noticed that Catherine's eyes were very clear, and she had no evil thoughts about lusting after his body. She should be a dignified and decent white woman, and she had received a good etiquette education.

Okay, this will make him feel better and not have any grudges.

It would be uncomfortable if there was always a white woman with unsatisfied desires wandering in front of us!

This was good now. Looking through the window at the children playing happily outside, he began to like this place.

How did this white woman named Catherine end up here?

Richard had no intention of exploring. Judging from her age and identity, it was very likely that she was captured by the imperial cavalry from the Great Plains towns in central North America during the US-Mexican-Tang War in the early years, or during the second or third Tang-US War.

one of the population.

This situation is common. Time and children have smoothed the edges of these white women, allowing them to integrate into Chinese families.

Violent wars and conquests accelerated the process of national integration, and this has always been the policy of national integration and unity advocated by Richard.

Now that we have become a family, any conflicts are family conflicts.

In the Tang Empire

Blond white people are used to drinking soy milk, eating fried dough sticks or pancakes in the morning, bargaining with vendors in Mandarin, and like to make a table of authentic Chinese delicacies by themselves. In the evening, they gather together with bowls in hand to chat and have fun.

, this is nothing unusual.

In the twenty years since the empire was founded, millions of immigrants have immigrated every year.

This is like adding water to a small pond. The longer it goes, the more it will become Chinese. This is an inevitable long-term trend.

Chinese genes are unprecedentedly strong. Most mixed-race children have black hair and black eyes. Only a few have blond hair and blue eyes, about one to two percent.

They all look similar, except that the facial contours of mixed-race children are more three-dimensional, and they are stronger and more beautiful, that's all.

After two or three generations of mixing, basically no difference can be seen.

Due to the rapid rise of the Tang Empire, it seems difficult for Europeans to accurately locate it. Academic circles basically agree with the white people's statement, but there is still academic controversy as to which category of white people they belong to.

Even in the white European world, there is a chain of contempt.

Due to historical reasons, the United Kingdom, the Low Countries Belgium, the Netherlands, and the three Nordic countries belong to the traditional Anglo-Saxon category, believe in the same Protestant religion, have frequent marriages between royal families, and share the common gene of blond hair and blue eyes.

Higher, standing at the highest point of contempt.

To expand a bit, the countries of the North German Confederation and the Kingdom of Prussia all fall into this category.

This is because the Gullo-Saxon nation is a major branch of the Germanic people. Since the Middle Ages, they have been living off coastal raids for many years. They are strong and warlike. They have invaded the European continent countless times and gradually settled down.

If it is expanded a little further, British colonies such as Canada, Australia and New Zealand, as well as the North and South of the United States, can be included in this category.

This is because the European immigrants who settled in the north and south of the United States are mainly Irish, English, and white immigrants from various ethnic groups in Germany, as well as some Italians and southern Europeans.

As for whether the Tang Empire can be included, there is considerable controversy in European academic circles.

Because of all the wars in North America

There was widespread intermarriage between Chinese and North American whites in the Tang Empire, and part of the Gugru-Saxon genes were inevitably inherited in their bloodline genes. This is the main view supported by European academic circles. The specific characteristics are tall stature and fair skin.

The academic opposition believes;

The Tang Empire was dominated by ethnic Chinese, with pure white people accounting for only a dozen percent. This proportion is still decreasing day by day, so it cannot be identified.

On the contrary, the Tang Empire has a high level of internal cognition, believing that it is derived from the noble blood of the Chinese Han and Tang Dynasties. Although there are some northern barbarians or Gu Kru-Saxon genes, they are still authentic Chinese and do not agree with the randomness of European academic circles.

divide.

in the evolution of history

No nation can guarantee the absolute purity of blood. Taking the British as an example, there is no telling how many national blood lines have been mixed into it.

The British Isles were originally the home of the Celts. In the middle of the fifth century AD, the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes, who were accustomed to raiding for a living, traveled westward along the Atlantic coastline, looking for the next target of invasion.

After conquering Belgium, the Netherlands and other lowland forces, they crossed the English Channel and began to enter the British Isles.

In the 50 years after 450 AD, Angles and Saxons poured into the British Isles in large numbers, established their own colonies, and carried out bloody suppression of the local Celts.

The Celts once rose up to resist, and the battle between the two sides lasted for a century and a half. The Celts were almost massacred, and those who survived were either made slaves or driven into the mountains in the north and west.

As a result, the British Isles were occupied by these Germanic people, and the robbers became the masters of the British Isles, forming seven countries: East Anglia, Kent, East Saxon, South Saxon, Northumbria, Mercia and West Saxon.

The kingdoms continued to war with each other.

The Anglo-Saxons became the new masters of the British Isles, eventually forming England, meaning the land of the Anglo-Saxons.

No one can deny that this long historical process is also a process of blending the blood of various ethnic groups.

The sunset fills the sky, and it's time to get off work in the evening.

"Mr. Li, you are going out. Why don't you go out after dinner?"

"Ah... no, we have some entertainment outside." As soon as Richard closed the door and turned around to come out, he was stopped by the enthusiastic neighbor's aunt. After he responded, he took out a pack of toffee from his pocket and handed it over with a smile.

He went over and said, "There are a lot of children in the yard. Please help me share it with the children."

"Oh, this costs you too much."

"It's just a little candy, it's a trivial matter."

Just as he was talking, the children playing in the yard heard the word "candy" and immediately gathered around with "hula". Every child's face was filled with expressions of excitement and anticipation.

Childhood is so straightforward, without any adult cover-up.

Next to Richard, two little boys, about four or five years old, stretched out their dirty little hands to tug on his clothes and said, "Thank you, uncle!"

"You're welcome, kids, go to Auntie's place to get some candies." Richard fondly touched Little Douding's head and said casually.

"Oh, let's eat sweets..." The children cheered instantly.

Walking out of the compound, there is the street outside.

Richard strode out quickly. He could feel a few probing eyes behind him, but he didn't pay attention.

This kind of look is just curiosity or voyeurism, and does not contain any malice. Just like people in a large courtyard usually leave their doors closed, it is very convenient for them to visit each other, and there is almost no privacy.

His noble temperament is so unique that even if he tries hard to hide it, he still stands out from the crowd.

In the evening, Chang'an, the imperial capital, was bustling with traffic. Trams, cars, trucks, horse-drawn carriages and tricycles were flowing continuously on the streets. Patrol police also stood at the intersection to direct traffic. There were workers hurriedly walking home everywhere.

Renault bicycles also appeared on the streets. This Renault-type bicycle was born in 1869. The frame was made of steel pipes, the wheels were changed to steel rims and spokes, and solid tires were used to make the bicycles lighter to ride.

In just over a year, he appeared on the streets of the Tang Empire.

At this time, Richard changed into a suit and dress and sat in a street cafe opened by a Frenchman. He watched the figure of an Italian tricycle driver passing by quickly on the street. He leisurely took a sip of the fragrant Blue Mountain coffee with an expression on his face.

Extremely comfortable.

Three...two...one...here it comes!

"Hello sir, I'm Anna, if you don't mind chatting, can I do it?"

This is a brown-haired woman wearing a decent women's suit skirt. She is about 23 or 24 years old. She looks like a white-collar worker from a large trading company. She has a decent smile on her face.

You can’t blame this woman named Anna for being attracted to the moth, it’s really Richard who attracts women so much!

Even though she is sitting there quietly, her every move has an indescribable elegance, attracting the eyes of the opposite sex like a magnet.

Richard smiled slightly and said softly, "You can call me Mr. Li. Please sit down, Ms. Anna. It's good to have someone to chat with on this beautiful evening!"

"Thank you, Mr. Li."

Anna quietly made a success gesture behind her, and the female companions who came with her exclaimed in low voices, casting envious glances at her.

When it comes to chatting up people of the opposite sex outside, Western girls are naturally more bold and enthusiastic. If you are a Chinese lady born into a wealthy family, you really cannot do such shameful behavior.
