Chapter Ninety-Seven: Hancheng (Asking for a Subscription and Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The little girl rings she saw on TV in the past were all combed in double buns and wearing long gowns, the most classic is the one in the Dream of Red Mansions.
I don't know if they are all imitating, and other film and television dramas are also very similar.
There is also a common point, many of them look more beautiful than Miss, and they are also fine-skinned and tender anyway.
It's not like the one in front of me, it looks no different from the orchid girl, the face is also black, quite rough, at most, it is more flesh than the two of them, you can see that life is better, and the facial features are not as delicate and beautiful as orchids.
When she was watching TV before, she also asked her mother, why some maids are better looking than Miss Qianjin, is the role she is looking for on TV wrong?
How did her mother answer?
The old lady said: This is how it is closer to the real history of ancient times, this daughter is from a good background, it does not mean that she must be beautiful, even if the rich and powerful can marry a beautiful wife, but she may not look good, and the daughter born follows her father, so it is normal to look bad.
And the maid is different, they are all bought outside, you can carefully select before buying, how can you pick a beautiful one among so many people, besides, the same is to spend money, of course, it is to pick up beautiful.
Combined with these, thinking about the arrogant attitude of Xiaojuan just now, I think it should not be a maid from a small family, otherwise it would be impossible to develop that kind of low-level temperament.
But if it is a big family, pick a maid with this kind of appearance, or the young lady she serves is even worse-looking, in order to be afraid of being compared, so choose this kind of small eyes and nose, dark and rough skin to set off herself.
Either the lady in charge of the house is jealous and afraid that the beautiful maid will be favored by her own grandfather, so she specially buys this kind of unremarkable appearance.
In fact, this situation should be very rare, Qian Yan heard her father say that rich people looking for maids and nannies are generally looking for some good-looking people, because their children will become good-looking after being with good-looking people for a long time.
It is said that people's facial features can be imitated, and children will look more and more like those who brought up them.
Therefore, there are many husbands and wives who have been together for a long time, and they will look more and more alike, which is the origin of the legendary husband and wife's face.
Qian Yan took the orchid and the big girl and walked back, thinking nonsense, but this time she paid attention to the road, saving herself from being hit again.
Fortunately, Orchid and the big girl were following her just now, otherwise if the reckless girl hit them, the small bodies of these two would not be able to stand up, and they might have to fall to the ground and hurt their arms and legs.
The location of the garrison is on the west side of Handcheng, on the same street as the yamen where they settled before, only one on the street and the other at the end of the street.
The courtyards here are very large, and they are all high-ranking families, which should be officials in the city or those rich and powerful people who live here, and this is next to the garrison mansion, which must be more secure.
The small courtyard that Li Hao bought for Tilt Yan is close to the center of the city, belonging to the east of the city, where there are all merchants living and there are shops.
In the south of the city, there is a large market that sells agricultural products such as grain and vegetables, as well as a mule and horse market.
The civilian area where they bought a house is on the north side of the city.
The division of Handan City is also quite interesting, they lived in her small courtyard in the past two days, so they have visited the east of the city, there are restaurants, teahouses, cloth villages, jewelry shops, fat powder shops and the like.
They have also been to the south of the city, and they have gone there to buy grain and vegetables.
Let's put it this way, the eastern part of the city is like a commercial street in later generations, and it is the kind of place where the rich or some people with some family backgrounds often go to visit.
To the south of the city is the farmers' market, where only some commoners or descendants of large families go there to buy daily necessities.
To the west, there were government departments and administrative centers, as well as some wealthy estates.
There was no one on the street over there, it was very serious, just like that Xiaojuan said, if someone was wandering around there, it was indeed easy to be arrested as a fine work.
This Hancheng is not small, but in fact, it is really not big in Qianyan's opinion, at least it cannot be compared with the cities of later generations.
It is equivalent to the size of their hometown town, and it is only a few miles from this end to the other, just like they walked from the east to the west, and it only took ten minutes to arrive.
This is also understandable, after all, in ancient times, the construction of the city had to be surrounded by a city wall, if the area enclosed is too large, how many years will it take to repair the city wall?
Now it is all manpower, but there is no machine to help it.
Of course, this is only the area inside the city, in fact, the outside of the city is not small, and those villages and cultivated land also belong to the scope of Handcheng, but they are not enclosed in the center of the city.
……
Because of Li Hao's sudden departure, Qian Yan was not interested in shopping outside, anyway, they had already walked around yesterday and the day before yesterday.
The day before yesterday, I went to the south of the city with a few old ladies to buy some grain and vegetables, and yesterday I also bought some cloth to make clothes in the east of the city.
Today, he said that he was out to shop, but in fact, he came to the garrison mansion to find Li Hao.
As for how can everyone rest assured that the three of them are hanging around outside? If there were only Orchid and Big Girl, they would definitely not be at ease, there was a little girl who dared to travel alone, and she had kung fu, so they were not worried at all.
As for the ugly ugly and the little leopard, they definitely can't be brought out, it's not like it's on the road in this city, even on the road, most of the ugly and little leopards are also in their satchels, or they nest on the donkey cart with the black egg, and they won't blatantly come out to show their faces.
Not so much in the city, if you hold the two of them outside and hang them out, it's a bit too dazzling.
Qian Yan is also afraid that like what will be staged on TV, she will meet some kind of gentleman, and she will see this kind of drama of the little leopard, she just wants to take a good look at the ancient city, but she doesn't want to conflict with others casually, and when the time comes, she will bring trouble to Yang Jiaping and others.
But now it's time to rethink what to do next.
In a few days, it will be the day when they leave, Li Hao should not have a chance to meet again, and he has no chance to give him the money to buy a house, so it seems that he can only leave the money to Yang Dashan and them.
Yang Dashan's family and the orchid grandchildren will live in the same yard in the future, the two families have a good relationship, plus they both have children, so they can take care of each other, and the children can also play together.
The small courtyard they bought by themselves has been cleaned up and is about to move over, and when the time comes, they can entrust this courtyard to them to take care of, and Qian Yan is still very optimistic about the character of Yang Dashan's family and the ancestors and grandchildren of Orchid.
