"You are ......"

"Oh...... I take the liberty to disturb me, I'm Catherine, the fourth aunt of the landlord, and you can find me for anything in this courtyard. Catherine introduced herself, and with a slight hesitation, she quickly continued;

"Please forgive me, I see that Mr. Li doesn't seem to have a guy who is ready to cook, you can help with the gang in the courtyard, two meals a day, three meat dishes a week, only 2 yuan a month, my skills are quite good."

This is...... Are you here to do business?

A question crossed Richard's mind, and he replied casually with money; "That's great, it's 3 yuan, and it's even better if you can help me clean the dishes and chopsticks after eating."

"You don't need so much, brushing the dishes and chopsticks is a trivial thing to do, and you don't need money."

"Take it, I've got a lot of food."

"Thank you, sir, it's been a few days since this month, then I'll count it for Mr. Li from tomorrow to this day next month, can you see it?"

"Everything." Richard replied casually, noticing that Catherine was still standing in the doorway, and asked again; "Anything else?"

Catherine distinctly smelled the scent of the tea in the room, and her fair neck could not help but swallow her saliva, and then a red cloud appeared on her cheeks, and she hurriedly replied; "I'm sorry, I lost my temper, there's nothing else going on."

After speaking, he left with a slightly panicked expression.

From start to finish

Richard noticed that Catherine had clear eyes, no evil thoughts about his body, and that she should be a dignified and decent white woman, and that she had received a good education in etiquette.

Okay, it makes him feel better this way, and he won't get upset.

If there is always a disgruntled Caucasian woman dangling in front of you, it will be very uncomfortable!

Now it's good, watching the children outside through the window happily chasing and playing, he began to like the place a little.

How did this Caucasian woman named Catherine end up here?

Richard had no intention of exploring at all, and judging from her age and identity, it is likely that she was one of the populations captured by imperial cavalry from the towns of the Great Plains in central North America during the early years of the American-Mexican-Tang War, or the Second or Third Tang-American War.

This situation is not uncommon, and the years and children have smoothed the edges and corners of these Caucasian women and allowed them to integrate into the Chinese family.

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

Since they have become a family, what contradictions are family contradictions.

In the Tang Empire

Blonde and blue-eyed Caucasian people are used to drinking soy milk in the morning, eating fritters or oil cakes, bargaining with vendors in Chinese, like to make a table of authentic Chinese food by themselves, gathering together with a bowl at night to chat and fart, and the gods of the sea and the sky, which is not unusual.

In the more than 20 years since the empire was founded, millions of immigrants have been emigrated every year.

It's like adding water to a small pond, and the longer it goes on, the more Chinese it becomes, which is an inevitable long-term trend.

The Chinese genes are unprecedentedly strong, and the vast majority of mixed-race children have black hair and black eyes, and only a few are blonde and blue-eyed, about one or two percent.

They are all similar in appearance, except that the facial contours of mixed-race children are more three-dimensional, more robust and beautiful, and that's it.

After two or three generations of mixed blood, there is basically no difference.

Due to the rapid rise of the Tang Empire, Europeans seem to be difficult to accurately locate, and the academic community basically agrees with the white statement, but there is still academic controversy about which type of white people they belong to.

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

Due to historical reasons, Britain and the Low Countries Belgium, the Netherlands and the three Nordic countries belong to the traditional Anglo-Saxon category, believe in the same Protestant Christianity, have frequent marriages between royal families, and have the common genes of blonde hair and blue eyes, and have a high degree of identity, standing at the highest point of contempt.

Expanding a little, the countries of the North German Confederation and the Kingdom of Prussia fall into this category.

Because the Guglo-Saxon people belonged to a major branch of the Germanic peoples, since the Middle Ages, they have lived by coastal raids, are fierce and warlike, invade the European continent countless times, and gradually settle.

If it is expanded a little further, the British colonies of 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 were mainly Irish, English, and white immigrants of 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 the wars in North America

The Chinese of the Tang Empire intermarried widely with white North Americans, and some of the Gu Gru-Saxon genes were inevitably inherited from the bloodline genes, which was the main point of view supported by the European academic community, and the specific characteristics were tall and fair-skinned.

The opposing side of the academic community argues;

The Tang Empire is dominated by ethnic Chinese, and pure whites account for only a dozen percent, and this proportion is still decreasing, so it cannot be identified.

On the contrary, the internal cognition of the Tang Empire is highly unified, believing that it originates from the noble bloodline of the Han and Tang dynasties in China, although there are some northern Hu people or Gu Kru-Saxon genes, but they are still authentic Chinese, and do not agree with the arbitrary division of European academic circles.

In the evolution of history

No nation can guarantee the absolute purity of the bloodline, and the British, for example, do not know how many national bloodlines have been mixed in.

The British Isles were originally the home of the Celts, and in the middle of the fifth century AD, the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and others, accustomed to raiding for a living, traveled west along the coastline in the Atlantic Ocean in search of their next invasion target.

After conquering the Belgian, Dutch and other Low Countries, they crossed the English Channel and began to enter the British Isles.

In the 50 years after 450 AD, the Anglos and Saxons poured into the island of Britain, establishing their own colonies and carrying out bloody repressions against the local Celts.

The Celts fought for a century and a half, and the Celts were almost exterminated, either as slaves or driven into the mountains of the north and west.

As a result, the British Isles were occupied by these Germanic peoples, and the robbers became the masters of the British Isles, forming seven kingdoms of East Anglia, Kent, East Saxon, South Saxon, Northumbria, Mercia and West Saxon, which continued to be at war with each other.

The Anglo-Saxons became the new masters of the island of Britain, eventually forming England, which means 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 sun sets all over the sky, and it is the time to leave work in the evening.

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

"Ah...... No, there's some socializing outside. As soon as Richard closed the door and turned out, he was stopped by the enthusiastic neighbor aunt, and after he coped, he took out a packet of toffee from his pocket, handed it over with a smile, and said; There are quite a lot of children in the yard, so please help me distribute them to the children. ”

"Oops, that's breaking the bank."

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

As he was talking, the children playing in the yard heard the word "candy" and gathered around them with a "hula", and each child's face was filled with excitement and anticipation.

The childhood was so frank and honest, without any adult concealment.

The two little beans next to Richard, who were about four or five years old, stretched out their dirty little hands and tugged at the placket of his clothes, and said; "Thank you, uncle!"

"No thanks, children, go to your aunt's and get candy." Richard touched Little Douding's head fondly, and said casually.

"Oh, eat candy......" the children instantly cheered.

Walk out of the compound and you'll see the street outside.

Richard strode out, he could feel a few inquiring glances behind him, but he didn't care.

This kind of gaze is just curiosity or peeping, and there is no malicious intent. Just like the people in the courtyard usually don't close the door, it is also very convenient to visit each other, and there is almost no privacy.

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

In the evening, the imperial capital of Chang'an was full of traffic, with trams, cars, trucks, horse-drawn carriages and tricycles flowing back and forth on the streets, and the patrolmen also stood at the intersection to direct traffic, and everywhere there were workers hurrying home.

The streets also featured Renault bicycles, which were born in 1869 and had a frame made of steel tubes, wheels with steel rims and spokes, and solid tires to make the bike lighter.

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

At this time, Richard changed into a suit and dress, sat in a street café opened by a Frenchman, watched the figure of the Italian tricycle driver pass by the street quickly, leisurely took a sip of fragrant Blue Mountain coffee, and looked very comfortable.

Three...... Two...... One...... Here it comes!

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

It was a brown-haired woman in a modest women's suit dress, about twenty-three or fourteen years of age, who looked like a white-collar worker of a large trading company, with a decent smile on her face.

You can't blame this woman named Anna for being a moth to the fire, it's really Richard who attracts women too much!

Even if he sits there quietly, his every move has an indescribable elegance, like a magnet that attracts the eyes of the opposite sex.

Richard smiled and said softly; "You may call me Mr. Li, please sit down, Ms. Anna, it would be nice to have someone to talk to on this beautiful evening!"

"Thank you, Mr. Lee."

Anna quietly gestured to the success behind her, and several of the female companions who came with her exclaimed in low exclamations, and cast envious glances one after another.

When it comes to talking to the opposite sex outside, Western girls are naturally more bold and enthusiastic, and if they are born in a beautiful Chinese girl, they really can't do such a shameful move.
